Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend
Chapter 296 Searching for Clues
Lin Yu knew full well that this mysterious organization was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike again at any moment, bringing immense disaster to them and the entire world. Knowing only the tip of the iceberg was far from enough to deal with the unknown crisis. Therefore, he decisively decided to stay in the town for a few more days to further investigate the mysterious organization. He understood that the more he learned, the greater their chances of victory in future confrontations, and the better he could protect the crystal ball in his hands and the peace of the world.
In the past few days, Su Yao and the other cultivators of the Mystic Spirits were equally busy, bustling through the town's streets and alleys like diligent bees. Su Yao disguised herself as an ordinary village girl, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with light makeup to conceal her usual heroic air, and blended into the crowd at the market. She seemed to casually select goods, but in reality, her ears were keenly attentive to every casual conversation among those around her, not missing a single word that might be related to the mysterious organization. As for the other cultivators of the Mystic Spirits, some disguised themselves as wandering performers, attracting crowds with their captivating performances and secretly observing the reactions of the audience, hoping to find clues from their exclamations or discussions; others disguised themselves as bodyguards of wealthy merchants, frequenting various upscale restaurants and teahouses, listening to the idle chatter of dignitaries after drinking, trying to extract valuable information from it.
One day, as Lin Yu sat in the inn's lobby, sipping tea and sorting through the scattered clues he had gathered over the past few days, a mysterious man quietly appeared beside him. The man was agile and moved with light steps; a black robe completely concealed him, revealing only a pair of deep, piercing eyes. He quickly glanced around, making sure no one was watching, before slowly sitting down opposite Lin Yu and lowering his voice to say, "I know you're inquiring about that mysterious organization." His voice was deep and hoarse, as if deliberately concealing his true tone.
Lin Yu immediately became alert, putting down his teacup. His eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle's as he warily stared at the man. "Who are you? Why are you telling us this?" His right hand instinctively moved towards the sword at his waist, his fingers lightly resting on the hilt, ready to draw his sword at the slightest movement. The inn's lobby was noisy, but at this moment, Lin Yu felt as if all other sounds had vanished; his entire attention was focused on the mysterious man before him.
The man seemed to sense Lin Yu's tension, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to signal him to relax: "Don't be nervous, I'm just someone who can't stand what that organization is doing." He paused, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, and continued, "They commit all sorts of evil deeds, using any means to achieve their goals, ruining too many people's lives, including my own." His voice trembled slightly as he said this, revealing his inner pain. "I can provide you with some information, but you have to agree to one condition."
"What are the conditions?" Lin Yu asked. Although he still had doubts, he understood that if this man could provide crucial clues, it would be a godsend for them. He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the man, trying to judge the truthfulness of his words from his expression and demeanor.
The man took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision, and said, "Help me rescue my family members who were captured by that organization. They are innocent people who were kidnapped by those demons, and their fate is unknown." His eyes were full of pleading and expectation as he stared intently at Lin Yu, as if he placed all his hopes on him.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. On one hand, the man's identity and purpose were still unclear, and rashly agreeing might lead them into an unknown trap; on the other hand, they urgently needed information about the mysterious organization, and if they missed this opportunity, they might never find a breakthrough again. In the end, he nodded: "Okay, as long as your information is useful, we will help you." His voice was firm and powerful, both a promise to the man and a demonstration of determination for himself and his companions.
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. He quickly leaned closer to Lin Yu and lowered his voice, saying, "The headquarters of the mysterious organization is in a remote valley. It's heavily guarded, with sentries every three steps and patrols every five. Not only are there numerous highly skilled guards, but there are also all sorts of mysterious traps and mechanisms. Moreover, the valley is surrounded by a powerful barrier, making it impossible for ordinary people to get close." He described it in detail, his eyes revealing fear of the place.
Lin Yu shared the news with his companions, and they gathered in their inn room to discuss countermeasures. A heavy atmosphere filled the room, everyone's faces showing seriousness and worry. Su Yao spoke first: "This valley is so dangerous; if we go there rashly, the odds are against us." Her brows were furrowed, her eyes filled with worry. The man in black robes echoed, "That's right, we need to think of a comprehensive plan; we can't act impulsively based on mere enthusiasm." Everyone offered their opinions, trying to find a viable way out of their predicament. Lin Yu sat quietly to the side, listening to everyone's words, toying with a jade pendant in his hand, pondering various solutions. He knew this would be an incredibly difficult challenge, but to uphold justice, and for those persecuted by the mysterious organization, they had no choice but to face the challenge head-on.
