After hearing Cora's words, everyone present fell silent, knowing that Chitaki really needed to go through this hurdle by herself, because if Chromie openly intervened now, it would be counterproductive.
"What is this?" Suddenly a team member's voice sounded on the communication channel, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Milo said, "What's wrong?"
"We found something on the ground. Do you want to take a look?" the team member said.
Chromie, Chitaki and others walked over one after another.
I saw a team member squatting in a mecha, pointing his finger at the ground.
Chitaki adjusted the optical imaging, and the picture continued to expand, and he saw a piece of metal with a special metallic color lying quietly on the ground. This piece of metal was not big, about the size of a palm, and had several special symbols engraved on it.
Pique said speechlessly, "I said you are really idle. You can find such a small thing. You shouldn't be digging around here with nothing to do."
"Hey, Captain Peake, this is not about collecting trophies. Originally, we wanted to see what rare things would be left behind when the monster's belly was exploded. Even if it is mosquito meat, it is still wealth." The team member explained.
"What you said makes sense, but this is probably the belongings of our dead team members." Pique said angrily.
Milo said at this time, "No, these twisted symbols are a kind of Hermitic writing."
"Wow, you can see this, Sister Milo. She is indeed knowledgeable." Pique immediately changed his attitude 180 degrees and said flatteringly.
Chromie said angrily, "Go away and do your work, don't flatter me here."
"Okay, okay." Pique smiled and hurried away.
Chromie controlled the mecha to pick up the piece of metal, then frowned.
Dark Age 5423,5,21.
Chromie put the thing away and said, "It's nothing. Let's work quickly and keep mining. After mining, we will leave this ghost place immediately."
"Yes." All team members in the communication channel responded.
"Chitaki, follow me back to the Mushroom." Chromie continued.
Chitaki didn't say anything and walked towards the Mushroom with Chromie.
After a while, the two came to the conference room where the meeting had been held. Chromie poured a cup of hot coffee for Chitaki and then closed the door of the conference room.
Chitaki took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Korra said that what happened is true, but I'm still not convinced. Let me first tell you about the situation of the FTC department, their usual tricks, and how you should deal with them." Chromie said seriously.
"Okay." Chitaki nodded.
"First of all, these people are very good at intimidating people. Usually one group of people pretend to be red faces, and another group of people pretend to be black faces. You have to remember that no matter which group they are, they will not stand on your side, so ignore them. Second point
FTC has great authority. He will investigate all your relatives and friends and put pressure on them from their perspective. But don’t worry, they can’t move. I will settle all those things. The third one is the interrogator. I don’t know who he will be.
Who, but I guess if it was that guy Terenceus who explained it, he would probably be a very difficult guy." Chromie explained to Chitaki carefully.
Chitaki listened carefully and nodded.
Chromie then said, "The most important point is what Cora said, regarding the primary and secondary relationship of the mining area, no matter what evidence they produce, as long as you deny it, they will have absolutely nothing to do with you."
"Don't they have witnesses? And there may not be only one." Chitaki asked curiously.
"Witnesses are always the least convincing. You can just deny them, but you will probably be aggrieved. Of course, they don't dare to be violent. If they are violent, just fight them back. You also have a military rank now."
He has a Medal of Honor with him, which is not a good thing." Chromie said.
The two chatted for a long time, and Chromie explained everything carefully.
At this time, Chitaki's bracelet suddenly sounded. Chitaki clicked on the bracelet, and a message popped up. Chromie leaned over and took a look.
"It came faster than expected." Chitaki said calmly.
"It's a bit surprising, but not surprising. That man is so meticulous and efficient in his work." Chromie couldn't help but shook his head.
Chitaki said, "It's nothing, I'm going for a walk, just treat it as a vacation. By the way, what is that thing you picked up?"
Chromie took out a box and opened it. The metal piece lay quietly inside.
"This is a piece left by someone a long time ago. I don't know who it is, but it should be similar to a last word. The Hermitic writing is very complicated and very ancient. Not many people understand it. Why are you interested in this?
Chromie said curiously.
Chitaki nodded and said, "I'm just curious. I'll leave first. The Hound is waiting for me."
Chromie thought for a few seconds and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask Hatu to go with you to prevent you from entering the STP department instead of the FTC department."
"Okay." Chitaki didn't refuse. It's not impossible.
Chromie opened the bracelet and sent a message to Hatu.
When Chitaki stood up and was about to leave, Chromie put his hand on Chitaki's shoulder and said, "When this is over, I'll treat you to a meal. And don't drive past the tyrant. I'll help you take it back. You fly an ordinary plane."
A comes over."
"Okay." Chitaki nodded.
Soon after, Chitaki drove a mecha and left the Mushroom, and Hatu was already waiting outside with a team of people.
"Thank you for accompanying me on this trip." Chitaki thanked him.
Hatu said calmly, "Don't say these words, don't say that we are brothers, you saved Hui Nuo last time, I still owe you a life."
Chitaki smiled and replied, "What are you talking about? Let's go."
"Okay." Hatu followed Qiantaki with ten team members.
Not long after they walked out, they saw a medium-sized frigate appearing above them.
Slowly, the medium-sized frigate landed, the hatch opened, and a team of STP members driving dark red mechas walked out. Chitaki and Hato walked over.
The leader directly stretched out his hand to stop Hatu.
"Sorry, you are not on the return list."
Hatu said, "Second Lieutenant Qiantaki is our F-area officer, and he is here to assist us in this mission. Cromi said that we will personally send him back to Shipani safely. Why is there a problem?"
The captain seemed to fall into silence and said after a long time, "I need to ask for instructions."
"You can ask for permission, but I say it responsibly. If it doesn't work, then I'm sorry that we won't let Second Lieutenant Chitaki leave with you. We will escort him back in another way." Hatu said seriously.
After about a minute, the captain said, "You can go in."
