I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2698: Chapter 2699: Cause and Effect

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi said:

“You mean to say you collaborated to raid the tomb, but they kept the results for themselves, correct?”

The man in Tang attire nodded and said angrily:

“We provided the map, they sent someone to raid the tomb, then both sides cooperated to share the results. When I found him afterward, he told me we failed and found nothing inside, wanting to keep the results for himself, which I cannot agree to.”

“Where did your map come from?”

“It was left by my grandfather.” The man in Tang attire answered succinctly.

Vaguely, Lin Yi guessed a possibility and asked the man in Tang attire:

“Did your grandfather live in Yanjing? Nicknamed Master Eight?”

The man in Tang attire looked up at Lin Yi, “How do you know?”

“It’s a secret, I can’t say much.” Lin Yi said:

“But as far as I know, the Bronze Tomb resurfaced in the world because of your grandfather.”

“Yes.” The man in Tang attire said:

“Such things have happened twice in a row, if we continue to swallow this anger, the face of our Zhao family will be lost.”

“Since this matter started because of your Zhao family, I suppose you should know what’s hidden inside, right?”

“I’m sorry, I can’t tell.”

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow and looked at the man in Tang attire, “Care to repeat that?”

The latter shuddered, feeling a chill run from his heels to the top of his skull.

“Inside, there are two statues. Those two statues have magical effects, reportedly when placed together, they can bring about the state of eternal life.”

“Eternal life…”

Lin Yi muttered.

“Is this your speculation or is there scientific evidence?”

“I don’t know.” The man in Tang attire murmured, “This was told to me by my grandfather.”

“As far as I know, William Delison knew about the statues as early as five years ago, since it’s such an important secret, how did they find out?”

“Because back then, my grandfather hired a tomb raider and, by chance, met William Delison, thus learning of this affair.” The man in Tang attire explained:

“After that, he found my father, and both sides got in touch, but unexpectedly, he did not keep his word.”

Upon hearing the man in Tang attire, Lin Yi understood the general situation.

So the next step would be to find William Delison and retrieve the statues.

Lin Yi stood up, stretched his body, and said:

“The origin of the two statues is far more mysterious than you imagine, they are not artifacts that ordinary people can collect, I hope you can give up, otherwise you could be eliminated at any time.”

With a word of caution, Lin Yi and Yu Siying prepared to leave.

It was at this moment, the two of them heard shouting from downstairs.

“I’ll go take a look.”

Yu Siying opened the door and looked down towards the bar downstairs.

“Boss, lots of police have come, doesn’t seem like a routine inspection.”

“If it’s not a routine inspection, there’s only one possibility.”

Lin Yi glanced at the man in Tang attire and said:

“Their actions have been exposed, William sent people to catch them.”

“Impossible, he can’t mobilize so many people, the efficiency of people from M country isn’t as high as the people in China.”

The man in Tang attire panicked a bit, unable to think of any solution.

“William Delison is not as simple as you think; he can mobilize more resources than you imagine.”

Lin Yi said:

“Let me say something that might discourage you, with your current abilities, he can crush you with just one finger. Perhaps when your grandfather was alive, the Zhao family was prominent, but now, you’d better live as an ordinary citizen, don’t touch what you can’t handle, it could lead to a fatal disaster.”

The man in Tang attire clenched his fists tightly, clearly unwilling to accept it.

But he also knew the situation had developed beyond his capabilities.

Gradually, the man in Tang attire released his fists, and his tone became steadier.

“I hope you can take me out of here.”

“No problem.”

“Boss, shall we move now?” Yu Siying asked.

“Yes.” Lin Yi nodded in response.

Yu Siying looked around privately, found the power switch in the room.

Using a dagger, she forcefully pried it open, revealing bare wires inside.

Taking off her leather jacket, Yu Siying used a metal bottle cap to connect the exposed wires together.

Blinding sparks and the smell of something burning filled the whole room.

The next second, due to the short circuit, the entire power system of the bar was affected.

The dance floor went pitch black, Lin Yi called out.

“Let’s go.”

Yu Siying’s fierce methods left the man in Tang attire dumbfounded.

Such an operation was completely beyond his limit of understanding.

Under the cover of darkness, the group walked out of the room.

Shouts and commands echoed incessantly within the bar.

The group seized the chaos and safely escaped the bar.

“You must be from the government, right?”

Once out of danger, the man in Tang attire said.

“It doesn’t matter if we are or aren’t from the government, just don’t get any ideas about this matter, nothing is more important than life.”

“I understand.”

“Then this is where we part ways.”

Lin Yi did not say much more and left with Yu Siying in the car.

“Boss, should we go back now?”

“It’s already dawn, let’s wait one night before leaving.”

“Boss, are you going to experience local specialties?” Yu Siying teased.

“There’s no Big Treasure Sword here, so no checkups needed.” Lin Yi laughed:

“William has deep connections with the official people, so this matter won’t end easily; it will definitely be pursued to the end, and they will strictly inspect the vehicles near the bar. If we leave so conspicuously, we’ll surely become targets of their investigation, it’s better to rent a car to leave after daybreak, then we can leave without a trace.”

“Understood.” Yu Siying said:

“But there’s one thing I don’t quite understand.”

“What is it?”

“This mystery of eternal life, the Zhao family wouldn’t easily tell others about it, so how did Mao Sanyou and William know its value?”

“Because the corpses didn’t decay.” Lin Yi said:

“At that time, Mao Sanyou and Ma Biao went down into the tomb, they must have seen intact bodies. I guess when they saw millennium corpses that didn’t decay, they would have been astonished, but those carefree people wouldn’t have thought it was due to the statues that the bodies remained preserved for a thousand years, so they didn’t have greedy thoughts.”

“But Mao Sanyou was an exception, right?”

Lin Yi nodded and continued:

“And back then, another tomb raider, by chance, met William. After hearing him describe the matter, he also realized the secret of the statues, which led to the events before us now.”
