Hearing these words from Lin Ziming.

Lin Li suddenly felt as if something had been lifted from his heart, feeling incredibly relieved.

As a seasoned obsessive-compulsive patient and research expert, he is in fact a very steadfast 'seeing is believing' type.

That is to say, no matter how theoretically sound your explanation is, he needs to see actual evidence to truly be at ease.

It's like a web novelist being informed in advance by the editor that there's a major promotion on August 19, but only when the promotion is actually received does he feel a complete sigh of relief.

It is precisely because of this mindset that no matter how confident Wang Jun was in his speculation about Mo Peidong's possession, even if the possibility was nearly one hundred percent, Lin Li still wanted to see real evidence.

And now, the evidence is there.

According to the Mo Family's records.

Mo Peidong perished during the beast tide while covering Mo Shaonan and others to leave.

Additionally, Mo Shaonan stated that he saw with his own eyes Mo Peidong leading the beast tide eastward to create an opportunity for himself, and was ultimately devoured by the beasts.

Thus, even if Mo Shaonan went to collect the body afterwards, at most he could find some bone fragments or broken weapons.

It would be impossible to find a complete set of remains without any bite marks.

Therefore, these remains could only have been deliberately placed in the coffin by someone.

Combined with all the previous anomalies collected by the rabbits, this is enough to confirm the speculation about Mo Peidong's possession.

Lin Li then calmed himself and continued to ask Lin Ziming:

"Colonel Lin, do you have any other findings?

For example, a suspected location where Mo Peidong might have been possessed, information about the ice coffin or stone slab, or discoveries about the point where the beast tide descended?"

Whether it was the feeling Lin Ziming had over the past few days, or the information the command had earlier, all indicated that the place Qian Gu Mountain was absolutely extraordinary.

Not to mention, just considering the location of Guo Yulian's grave there is somewhat inexplicable.

Qian Gu Mountain is a full 250 kilometers away from Sheepback City, a journey of 500 li.

Such a long distance is not easy to travel.

Considering Mo Peidong's cultivation level and family restrictions, being able to visit once a year would be a stretch.

This does not match the loving records of Mo Peidong and Guo Yulian—even if the records in the family genealogy were faked like the possession of Mo Shaonan, the clasped hands of the two skeletons speak volumes.

Therefore, the burial location of Guo Yulian's grave is definitely inconsistent with her relationship with Mo Peidong.

This cannot be explained by the Guo Family Gully's ancestral teachings—the ancestral teachings merely required the burial place to be shaded and have water, which is not a very strict condition in the Damo Realm.

At least not to the point of needing to go more than 200 kilometers to find a spot.

For example, during the search and rescue, Lin Ziming contacted Longxing River stationed at Sheepback City, asking him, with Wei Qiangsheng's assistance, to search outside the city and found no fewer than seven or eight suitable areas.

After all, the natural environment of the Damo Realm has not been heavily industrialized, so springs as sources of water are still quite common.

In addition, since there was also the incident of the beast tide and Mo Peidong's possession at Qian Gu Mountain, there must certainly be some secrets in the mountain.

In the temporary base station by Qian Gu Mountain,

facing Lin Li's inquiry, Lin Ziming was just about to report no other abnormalities when he saw his subordinate Liu Ming trotting over:

"Colonel Lin, we've discovered another new special area!"

Liu Ming's voice was loud, and his shouting was completely captured and transmitted through the communication equipment to Lin Li's ear.

Seeing this, Lin Li hurriedly said:

"Colonel Lin, since there's a new situation, go and check it out first. The command can see the situation on-site through the recorder, and we can reconnect when you're available."

Lin Ziming intended to do just that, nodding apologetically towards Lin Li before hanging up the communication.

Then he took a large gulp from a military canteen before patting Liu Ming on the shoulder:

"Xiaoliu, take me there, update me on the situation as we walk, and have the security squad follow!"

Liu Ming saluted him, turned, and began leading the way.

The soldiers' military boots crunched on the mountain path, making cracking sounds with the fallen leaves and stones.

Liu Ming introduced as they walked:

"Colonel Lin, the place we first discovered is a cave with an area of roughly three to four hundred square meters, located at the foot of the third highest peak.

Inside the cave, there's a massive altar. We didn't continue exploring further before coming back to report.

But based on our visual judgment, there should be no other things within the cave.

It may be due to being so ancient that it's been weathered or buried by sand.

But undoubtedly, this should be the site of the possession, as the altar fits our collected information perfectly.

Furthermore, there's..."

Lin Ziming was initially listening carefully, but as Liu Ming spoke the latter part, his tone became somewhat hesitant.

He couldn't help but frown:

"Furthermore, what? Say it directly!"

"Furthermore...we found a pit approximately two meters wide, and according to our laser distance measure...we cannot estimate its depth."

"What?"

Hearing this, Lin Ziming stopped in his tracks, looking at Liu Ming in disbelief:

"Xiaoliu, make it clear.

Is the distance measure unable to probe to the bottom due to obstruction, or is it unable to reach the bottom under vertical conditions?"

Liu Ming looked up at him and confirmed:

"It's not due to wall obstruction. Even with the laser distance measure at full power... it can't reach the bottom."

The laser distance measure is a very common measuring instrument on the market.

Its properties are similar to those of a total station—the principle is not the same, of course.

Industrial and civilian levels are the most numerous, while the military issue is not something the average person comes into contact with.

The civilian one is called a laser distance telescope, with the longest range generally reaching up to 3000 meters.

The one used industrially is called a laser distance sensor, and it can measure up to about 4000 meters.

The military one's power is significantly higher; the above two types of distance measures are minor compared to military distance measures.

The remote equipment they carried this time could measure distances up to 22.7 kilometers.

And according to Liu Ming...

Even this caliber of distance measure cannot gauge the depth of that chasm!

A depth of 22.7 kilometers underground, this is greater than any depth dug up locally!

Students who've studied geography should know.

The structure inside Earth is composed, from outer to inner, of the crust, mantle, and core.

The crust is a thin layer at the surface, with the interface between it and the mantle being the Mohorovičić discontinuity, and has an average thickness of only 17 kilometers.

Relative to Earth's average radius of 6378 kilometers, it is even thinner than an eggshell compared to an egg.

As of now, humans have never surpassed this thickness.

The deepest hole on Earth—besides those in the ocean—is the Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 drilled by the Big Brother.

This is a deep hole shrouded in numerous mysterious legends, and still an unsolved mystery to the world.

The background for the start of the Kola Superdeep Borehole was during that lukewarm war.

At the time, one bear and one eagle were engaged in super competitions in all aspects, which have been mentioned countless times in various documentaries.

And drilling was the most peculiar competition among them, without exception.
