I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2887: Chapter 2887: Dead Sea Scroll

"That’s true, but making the people in the Gongyuan Association remember is not an easy task."

"But to some extent, it has also helped us establish authority," Liu Hong said:

"This period is dangerous, and we’re also monitoring the activities of the Gongyuan Association. We must be extra cautious with our daily actions. But rest assured, you, including the people in your group, and immediate family members are under our protection and are all equipped with weapons."

"Understood."

Lin Yi nodded, saying nothing else.

"While you were away, a meeting was held in the brigade. All regions need to conduct the most rigorous self-examinations in history. We can’t give these people any more opportunities."

"It’s good to investigate," Lin Yi said:

"These people are bolder than we imagined."

"You don’t have to worry about other places; just focus on the coastal area," Liu Hong said:

"I’ll send you a dossier at that time. Just manage your area well and take this matter seriously; it’s no joke."

"Don’t worry, I understand the importance of this matter."

"That’s good. I have always trusted you with your work, so I won’t say more," Liu Hong said:

"By the way, Elder Lu instructed you to see him when you returned."

"Got it."

After chatting about other things for a while, Lin Yi left.

Waiting outside for Lin Yi were not only the people from his group but also Qiu Yuluo.

During this period, Ning Che’s Group Three went to the island, leaving other groups behind to rest.

"Is everything on Brother Chen’s side arranged?"

Qiu Yuluo nodded, "The day after you left, everything was handled."

"I’ll go take a look."

Lin Yi’s group drove in a car and went to the cemetery together.

Lin Yi brought cigarettes and alcohol, along with flowers he had purchased in advance, placing them in front of the tombstone.

"Brother Chen, we’ve avenged you halfway. As for the rest, we’ll deal with them slowly. Rest in peace."

Speaking, Lin Yi opened a bottle of alcohol, took a swig, and poured the remainder on the ground.

After leaving the cemetery, the group drove Lin Yi to Liang Xianghe’s place.

He found him alone at home.

Lin Yi also noticed a steaming pot of tea on the table, seemingly waiting for him.

"Aside from the people you killed, did you see anyone else?" Liang Xianghe asked directly.

"Went around their headquarters, but the guards were tight, no chance to act."

"So, you didn’t see their president or anyone else?"

"Are you referring to the Anglo people?"

Liang Xianghe nodded, as a response.

"No."

As he spoke, Lin Yi poured Liang Xianghe a cup of tea and said:

"I also know it’s impossible to deliver a fatal blow to the Gongyuan Association, so we excluded them in our planning."

"For so many years, the Anglo people have stayed hidden, yet they’re involved with this, which isn’t a good sign."

"The more so, the more it indicates a problem," Lin Yi said:

"They probably know the function of the ore."

After a pause, Lin Yi continued:

"And it’s not just them—Mammon seems very interested in this ore too."

"Is it that man in black driving a TYPE-R?"

"Yes, we’ve clashed with him long ago; he’s very strong," Lin Yi said:

"But I doubt Mammon knows the ore’s secret."

Sipping his tea, Liang Xianghe said calmly:

"Tell me your thoughts."

"Though Mammon is strong, they feel on par with Poker to me. I suspect they know of the Gongyuan Association and Anglo’s relations and, upon noticing their movements, followed them here, like they’re just going with the flow."

"So you think the people who truly know the ore’s secret are the Anglo?"

"Exactly."

Lin Yi took a sip of tea, looking at Liang Xianghe:

"How much do you know about the Anglo?"

"Fought them once, but it doesn’t explain much. The things this organization does behind the scenes differ from the island’s other organizations."

Liang Xianghe sighed and said:

"Your father was heroic, spent the first half of his life on the path of conquest, aiming to be the first in the world to conquer Tilia Island. But Anglo’s different; they aim to conquer the world, a tremendous threat to us."

"But the things on the island are very mysterious, and our progress isn’t slow, and with Poker paving the way, supposedly no one knows more secrets than us."

"Years ago, an item called the Dead Sea Scroll surfaced, documenting many ancient texts, but it disappeared within a month, despite massive manpower and resources employed, it couldn’t be found. Some speculate the Gongyuan Association stole it, and given their connection, I guess Anglo deciphered its contents, leading to knowledge of some secrets about Tilia Island."

"Dead Sea Scrolls... I seem to have heard about this; there are reports online exaggerating its mystery."

"It’s not really an exaggeration, as the Dead Sea Scroll is indeed a mysterious artifact."

Liang Xianghe chuckled and said:

"But the online information is all made up nonsense, not credible."

"If that’s the case, we need to speed up research."

Liang Xianghe nodded, saying:

"The funds are approved; now it’s about continuing the research."

"Sigh..."

Lin Yi sighed, leaning back in his chair.

"How many secrets is this small island hiding? It’s really marvelous."

"Now’s not the time for sentimentality; what we’re doing has epoch-making significance. When we unveil this layer of mystery, the world may become very different."

Liang Xianghe, too, rarely expressed his sentiment.

"I won’t live to see that day, but when it comes, look at the new world for me and tell me about it."

Lin Yi’s hand holding the teacup trembled suddenly.

"With me here, you’ll live to a ripe old age."

"Thank you for your good wishes, I hope to live a few more years."

"So, quit smoking, I’ll take them away."

Lin Yi gathered the cigarettes on the table, chuckling as he pocketed them.

"You brat, not only didn’t buy me things, now you’re pocketing mine, just like your father. Makes me want to give you a kick."

Lin Yi laughed and then stood up, stretching.

"Feeling a bit hungry, I’ll make us something to eat."
