[System Guidance]
As Lin Ye left the forbidden land and returned to the familiar outside world, the system's prompt echoed once more: “Detection shows a significant increase in host’s strength. It is advised to replan the route for revenge.” Lin Ye took a deep breath, feeling the surging demonic power and the flow of energy within him. His gaze grew more determined, and a new plan began to take shape in his mind.
He didn’t immediately set out to seek those who had once brought him endless pain—the human forces. Instead, he decided to first return to the area near the mines to investigate. This was where he had initially encountered humiliation and torture, and he needed to confirm the current situation of the mines, especially the whereabouts of Old Wang. The person who had once cared for him—was he still alive, and had he been caught up in this storm as well?
[Passage of Time]
When Lin Ye finally returned to the vicinity of the mines, he was shocked by the sight before him. Months had passed, and the mines were still in operation, but the atmosphere was vastly different from before. The familiar faces of workers, overseers, and mine slaves were gone, replaced by a new batch of guards and overseers. Lin Ye even felt the oppressive air around him was heavier than ever before.
The size of the mine remained enormous, with the constant rumble of machinery echoing through the air, but it seemed to have lost the warmth and vitality it once had. A strange feeling rose in Lin Ye’s chest; he knew that the changes in the mines might not be as simple as they appeared.
[News of an Old Friend]
Lin Ye decided to secretly gather some information. He contacted a few of his old acquaintances to learn about the current state of the mine. To his shock, shortly after he left, a large-scale riot had broken out in the mines, and many mine slaves had been brutally killed. Even more distressing was that Old Wang had gone missing since that riot, with no word on his whereabouts.
This news struck Lin Ye like a cold, sharp blade to his heart. His fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, and the anger and thirst for revenge that had been building up in him were once again ignited, burning fiercely.
Lin Ye knew that there must be some hidden conspiracy behind this riot. His path for revenge seemed to have acquired yet another deep mystery. What was the true reason behind Old Wang’s disappearance? Was there a greater conspiracy lurking in the shadows of the mines, waiting to be uncovered?
