I Randomly Have a New Career Every Week

Ning Che was very clever and immediately understood Lin Yi's meaning.

"That thing you mentioned is very likely a real object, but it could also be his hallucination. His autopsy report proves that there was nothing special on his body, so the idea of a real object doesn't exist. It's very likely he was hallucinating."

"That's right, and when his body experienced pain, the hallucination dissipated, but it was impossible for him to come out again."

Lin Yi agreed with Ning Che's explanation.

Lin Yi denied Ning Che's idea, saying:

"Your explanation can only explain part of the problem. If it only has a hallucinogenic effect, it's unlikely that everyone would have the same hallucinogenic effect. Besides, the people who experienced hallucinations were all men between 18 and 40. It's impossible for it to be such a coincidence. This cannot be explained from a biological perspective."

"What about minerals? Their hallucinogenic effects are even stronger, like the situation we encountered in the African ruins before."

"If that's the case, it makes sense. However, what you said just now does explain the issue of selectivity very well. Perhaps there's no so-called selectivity at all. It's just that they occasionally came into contact with some kind of mineral and then were hallucinated. And the target of this mineral's effect may be men with strong vitality, men between 18 and 40, which happens to fit this characteristic."

"Right!"

Ning Che became excited, "The few deceased people who were investigated include a basketball assistant coach, a soccer player, and the other two were also people with very good physical fitness, completely in line with your guess."

"Now we've finally figured out a bit of the pattern."

Thinking of this, both of them felt a sense of relief.

Although they hadn't figured out what was going on, at least they had some direction.

"Although we haven't investigated the situation of all 14 deceased people, the situation of these people we've investigated so far is basically the same. They came here for vacation and then encountered that unknown thing. In other words, their range of activity wouldn't be too far, probably just around here. And we've been looking in the mountains all along, this angle might be wrong."

"Indeed, while Old Cai and the others haven't returned yet, let's look around here first to see if we can find any new discoveries."

"Okay."

Having decided on the subsequent plan, the two began searching around.

But until dark, there were no new discoveries.

The two had a good attitude. Even if they didn't find anything, they weren't discouraged. They bought some food and returned to their place of residence.

Cai Dongyi and Sheng Wenjing came back after ten o'clock in the evening.

The group checked the information again and prepared to continue tomorrow.

"Team Leader Lin, I have another idea. Do you think there might be an entrance hidden in this vicinity?" Sheng Wenjing said.

"Of course, it's possible, and that's how things are. The two of us were looking for hallucinogenic substances in the vicinity during the day, and also looking for the entrance, but we didn't find it."

"Should we call more people over to continue tomorrow?"

"No need, it's almost enough for the few of us to stay here. If we call more people, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble."

A look of worry appeared on Lin Yi's face, "People from overseas organizations have already arrived, but I still don't know who came. Ballmer is helping us monitor. Once they have large-scale actions, our mission will be dangerous, so the action must be secretive, and we can't call more people."

Sheng Wenjing nodded, also thinking that this made sense.

"Actually, I'm a little worried about the overseas organizations. It's been so long, and we've only discovered this one suspicious location. If there were no Zork Mountain, they shouldn't stay here for too long, so why did they come here?"

Lin Yi shrugged, "Actually, I haven't figured it out either. We haven't leaked the information about the Golden Chair. Only we know about it in the whole world. And the situation here is also the same. After all, Ballmer and the others didn't take this place seriously, so I haven't figured it out either."

"Don't think about these things now, it's just adding to your troubles. As long as this mission can proceed normally, it can prove that they are not here for us," Ning Che said.

Lin Yi nodded, "The person who should be most concerned about this issue now should be Ballmer, so we just need to do the things in front of us."

"Understood."

After finishing their meal, the four rested early. When the sky was barely light, they put on their clothes and quietly came to the foot of Zork Mountain.

The distant horizon had just dawned, and there was no one here, only the sound of the stream flowing.

The four acted separately, actively searching for suspicious substances and the entrance to the mysterious ruins.

In this way, a day passed. Even though the four people searched very carefully, even if they searched the entire mountain, they still didn't find the entrance.

The four met in the evening, their faces were a little gloomy. After discussion, they were already able to determine that there were no more suspicious places around Zork Mountain, even on the mountain. If they continued to check, it would be useless.

The current state was like before, trapped in a dead end.

"Go back and rest for one night. Tomorrow, the four of us will exchange routes and continue to check again."

"Understood."

They went back to rest for one night, and when it was light, they continued to check Zork Mountain, but even though the four exchanged the positions and routes they checked, they still didn't find anything new.

"There must be a problem with some part of the process, otherwise it's impossible that we can't find any clues," Cai Dongyi said.

"I have an idea. We can keep waiting here. Maybe someone will climb Zork Mountain sometime. When that time comes, maybe we can find a clue."
