People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

After listening, Ding Ze fell silent for a moment, his thoughts racing.

Because, the truth is, although he didn't have a detailed understanding of the specific strength of the [Longevity Club], he believed that the [Longevity Club] was indeed very powerful, and could be said to have connections everywhere...

If that's the case, he had indeed wondered before why the teams sent by the [Longevity Club] in the past had all failed to find this place and had all died, while he found it as soon as he arrived.

He neither underestimated himself nor the Longevity Club, so he felt this point was unreasonable.

Now, after hearing Snowwell Milden's analysis... in a way, even if it was a bit of a shock, his irrational feeling was suddenly explained.

Will it be so?

It's actually quite possible.

Because they had already been exploring that ancient underwater city for many days...

The ancient city was undamaged, yet there were no corpses within it, including in the palaces above... The entire place seemed to have been abandoned.

If they are abandoned, where will the indigenous people go?

Ding Ze, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, pondered silently for a moment before asking Snowwell Milden, "Assuming that's really the case, and we're all still alive."

"Considering that in a place like this, it would be very easy for the original inhabitants of that ancient city to kill us."

What do you think their purpose is?

Snowwell Milden shook his head. "All I can think of is that they have some purpose that they need us to help them achieve... just like when I lured you into the underworld."

The words came out.

Hey.

That's really true.

Ding Ze immediately felt a little annoyed, and shook his head with a smile, "What is this? I was fooled by you first, and now I'm being fooled by some unknown creature."

"Look at my temper!"

Having lived for so many years, Snowwell Milden knew Ding Ze was joking and didn't mind. He replied with a smile, "Mr. Ding, what do you plan to do about this?"

Ding Ze tossed away his cigarette butt and answered without hesitation, "What else can we do? Of course, we have to find the mole... Let me think about it. Finding the mole is easy in some ways, but difficult in others."

************

Because of the previous war in Miami, all Dongfeng Security personnel had subcutaneous chips implanted and underwent detailed checks by the "Samaritan".

Since then, all employees joining Dongfeng Security have followed this same procedure.

In this way...

Unless those creatures had foreseen his arrival in Antarctica back then and infiltrated beforehand to play the role of a mole...

So, the first step of identity verification is easy to do... His employees can be identified as genuine or fake in no time.

Ding Ze believed, or rather, thought, that there was a high probability that the mole was Guide... The reason was not complicated, because that was the easiest role to play.

So, here's the question...

There are plenty of guides, and there's no internet here, so the Samaritans are of no use here.

Once he starts verifying the guide's identity, the mole will inevitably notice, and then...

This is the traitor's territory. If we push the traitor too far, they might do something desperate, and all these thousands of people could be buried alive here, becoming ice sculptures.

In short, this matter must be handled with extreme caution.

Then, no matter what, let's finish checking all the employees first.

Having made the decision, Ding Ze soon took action, naturally starting by personally verifying the identities of all the responsible persons.

It didn't take too long to get the results, and the person in charge had no problems.

Then the person in charge should verify the employees' identities.

For the time being, it seems that no one has any doubts, after all, he is the infamous madman killer, a madman indeed.

There's nothing wrong with a madman doing crazy things.

At least, that's what Ding Ze thought.

Unfortunately, Ding Ze hadn't expected, and could hardly have imagined, that the mole, Alice, had clearly overheard his conversation with Snowwell Milden. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 498 Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Antarctica, beneath the icebergs.

Alice, who was playing the role of a guide—and in fact, the most skilled guide—blinked her eyes, her deep blue eyes sparkling with intelligence.

'How amusing, you actually managed to catch me?' Alice smiled slyly, thinking playfully, without any sign of panic.

Ding Ze's examination is still ongoing.

It took some time for the fact that the employees were all fine to become apparent.

Ding Ze was not surprised by this.

After all, if he were the mole, he would also choose to pose as a guide, or even an expert... Pose as a guide is the simplest, while pose as an expert is a bit more complicated because you have to know a lot more.

So, the operation to find the mole continues.

Ding Ze fabricated a reason to call all the experts away, and then carefully verified their identities one by one.

These experts are all external hires and do not have subcutaneous chips implanted, so the verification process is quite time-consuming, but it is still manageable.

Ding Ze and Snowwell Milden teamed up and spent several hours getting this done.

Well, the experts seem to have no problem with it either.

That leaves only the guide.

Before long, several hundred guides were gathered in a palace, separated from each other, and lined up.

Ding Ze stood high above, facing the guides, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

Verifying the identities of these guides was the most troublesome part, so Ding Ze decided to take another approach.

After taking a couple of puffs of his cigarette, Ding Ze spoke up with a smile, "Everyone has had a long journey. Don't panic. I've gathered everyone here because it's nothing serious, just a minor matter."

With hundreds of guides, to be honest, it was quite nerve-wracking.

On one hand, they were facing Ding Ze, a mad serial killer; who knew what this killer would do…

On the other hand, what everyone has discovered here is absolutely horrifying. What if this mad killer decides to silence them?

The guides remained silent, standing obediently and listening, waiting for Ding Ze to continue.

"As everyone knows, we discovered a truly magnificent ancient city on the seabed, a city that can only be called a miracle..."

"Perhaps everyone has wondered where the residents of that ancient city went?"

"Not too long ago, after research and discussion, we realized a possibility: those residents may have found life here too boring, so they integrated into the human world."

"If that's the case, then for various reasons, we believe that among us, there may be one or even more residents of that ancient city, who are the mole."

"In short, we weren't really lucky to get here smoothly; we were led here by an inside man."

"You can probably imagine how terrifying a mole can be."

"Therefore, we want to find this or even multiple moles."

"Now that I've finished speaking, would the mole please raise his hand?"

Ding Ze rattled off a bunch of nonsense.

After listening.

Naturally, the guides couldn't stand still and started to stir.

Just then, several leaders brought by Ding Ze suddenly entered the palace with Gatling guns, their faces expressionless. Without uttering a word, they swiftly surrounded the hundreds of guides.

Oh!!!

Damn it!

What is this for?

With so many Gatling guns, if they opened fire, it would only take a few seconds to wipe out all the guides here.

Just now, the guides were only shocked and couldn't believe there was a mole... In this second, most of the guides were so scared that they were practically trembling with fear, they felt like they were going to wet themselves...

no way.

If they encountered a regular employer, the guides would genuinely think that the show of force was just a bluff and that the employer wouldn't actually go on a killing spree.

But now, the employer is Ding Ze, that infamous madman and serial killer.

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!!

"Who the hell is the mole? Raise your hand!!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

"Boss, I don't want this money anymore, please let me go home!!!"

"..."
