She seemed to be somewhat noncommittal about what Ye Chen was saying at the moment.

Although he felt that this should be a fact, the key issue was that this fact needed to be corroborated by countless pieces of evidence, or even then, could it be made clear.

But is this condition, this environment, really a true existence as of now?

"If you put it that way, it's very likely the case. I remember, back then, everyone searched thoroughly in this place, left, right, up, down - everywhere, but perhaps no one thought that this place could be so well-hidden. Let's go, let's look around again, see if there's anything unusual."

While saying this, he went back to that direction and then the group began to search carefully here.

They didn't find much on the walls to search, only whether there was anything dropped on the ground, or things left behind from the past, which for them, might be a very dubious fact.

"Hey, what's this thing?"

After walking forward for some time, Ye Chen suddenly noticed a black object on the ground, looking like it was made of glass.

He bent down and picked the object in his hand, and to his surprise, it turned out to be a kerosene lamp.

After so many years, it was still rather intact, but now, after being exposed to the sea breeze, it had almost completely lost its original color.

The entire outer layer of glass was completely rust-stained, and the layer of iron underneath also seemed to be completely corroded.

"If there's a kerosene lamp here, does that prove that people have been to this place?"

"But I feel that even with a kerosene lamp, it doesn't really explain much. It only shows that someone has been here, but why would they leave the lamp?"

"I don't know about that, what is this?"

Lin Yaru spoke as she spotted something on the ground that was also black and rotten to the core.

After taking it out and holding it in her hand, it felt sticky, and had completely lost its original shape. She couldn't tell what it was just by looking at it.

Lin Yaya gently peeled it open, feeling that this object didn't match the stones here at all.

Inside, she found a coin, and upon looking further, there seemed to be two other coins, now completely rusted.

Beside the coins, there were other scattered things that looked like some banknotes.

"Could these be banknotes?"

Lin Yaru wondered, then examined them closely under a flashlight.

"The banknotes, if any, have completely decomposed due to the passage of time."

"I can't confirm whether these are banknotes right now, but I can be 100% sure that these are definitely coins."

"If coins and banknotes are found here, plus this deformed sticky mess, can we infer that this might be a wallet?"

"A wallet?"

At this point, she seemed to have an epiphany, then took the items in her hand, and subsequently pulled out a plastic bag to cautiously place them inside her backpack.

Because she knew that at this moment, within this environment, it was impossible to deduce what these things were – to determine their nature, one had to go outside.

Ye Chen obviously understood her thinking; he just looked back and then gently nodded his head.

Finally, the few of them began to search carefully again, but aside from the lost wallet and the kerosene lamp, they didn't seem to find any other clues.

"It looks like that's all there is to this cave. Should we leave now?"

"However, this trip was worth it. Plus, if we hadn't discovered all this, I believe we wouldn't have come here for nothing."

"Let's go, we'll leave first, and after we get out, we'll continue."

After finishing speaking, Ye Chen nodded and then followed the two out.

"Wait a second."

Just as they got to the entrance, Lin Yaru seemed to suddenly remember something and took a couple of steps back, then bent down again.

She touched something with her hand and eventually pulled out two objects from underneath.

Taking a look at them, although they were completely rusted, you could still make out that they were a set of keys.

"These are keys."

"Yes, indeed keys. Pack them up as well. The presence of a wallet and keys here, not to mention the lamp, clearly indicates that someone has stayed here, and something unexpected must have occurred; otherwise, these important items would not have been left behind."

While talking, Lin Yaru carefully packed these items in her dormitory did inside, and finally, the two left the place.

After coming outside, they looked around again. In fact, there weren't many clues to find here, and it was unclear whether the clues they were seeking even existed in this place.

"Basically, that's it. Also, we need to get a marine chart of the nearby seas as soon as possible, because all of this should be very important to us."

"If we want to get a Marine Map, then we must start with these people who operate boats, and only their Marine Maps would be the most convenient since they sail these seas year-round."

"But the problem is, we don't know any of the crew members of these ships, how can we get our hands on these things?"

"Don't worry, I have a way. You following me right now is a bit inconvenient. After we get up there, you find a place to stay and wait for me for a while, I'll be back shortly."
