The Inuit looked like an honest man, and he had a guilty conscience. He had not come to Li Du out of curiosity or to join in the fun. Li Du could see that at a glance.
Therefore, Li Du tried to suppress the middle-aged man in conversation and manner, to make him panic faster and reveal his true intentions.
He had achieved his goal. The middle-aged man spoke the truth without much effort.
Hearing his words, Li Du's heart tightened and he asked, "What letter do you want to deliver?"
"A message," the middle-aged man said. The middle-aged man said, "Steve Tussenberg gave me a message. He asked me to tell you …"
As he spoke, every word he uttered made Li Du's heart beat faster. However, when it came to the crucial part, the man stopped talking and shut his mouth.
This made Li Du, who had been anticipating it, very angry. Steve really had something to do with this place. He also had something to do with the Inuit!
Li Du had put in a lot of effort to find Steve. This time, without the help of the little bug, he could only rely on the stupid method of searching, which was physically and mentally exhausting.
Therefore, it was impossible to say that he had no resentment after staying by the lake for more than half a month.
In particular, Sophie was pregnant. He could not go back to his wife, but had to sleep in the open. His heart was full of resentment.
The Inuit was keeping him in suspense, which made him angry. He instinctively reached for the dagger hanging at his waist for self-defense. He glared at the man and said, "Tell me what?! Hurry up and tell me! "
The Inuit was startled by his agitated reaction and quickly said, "I can't tell you directly. You have to promise me that you will leave after you know anything about him."
Hearing this, Li Du understood that there was something wrong with the lake, and it had something to do with Steve and the Inuit.
He took a deep breath and said, "I must find Steve and the others. I can't leave until I find them. This is also my promise!"
The Inuit shook his head firmly. "No, absolutely not. You have to leave."
Li Du looked at him and said, "You know something about Steve? You know this news and you didn't tell me? Believe it or not, I have many ways to make you talk. "
The Inuit's expression changed. "Are you going to torture me?"
Li Du smiled and said, "No, I'm not a barbarian. I won't torture you, but I still have many ways to make you talk."
The Inuit was not afraid. He snorted. "If you do that, don't regret it. You won't get any information at all!"
Li Du did have a way to deal with him, such as using a hallucinogen, which he had in his possession.
However, the Inuit's behavior made him cautious. The other party seemed to be very confident, and he seemed to have some tricks up his sleeves.
Li Du's expression was uncertain. The Inuit looked at him and said, "You are different from what Steve Tussenberg said. He said you are a very smart man and a very gentle and good person. But I don't think that's the case."
The other party's fearlessness calmed Li Du down.
He said, "Don't jump to conclusions yet. If your wife is pregnant and you have to leave her in order to find a friend, then you will face the lake every day in the wilderness thousands of miles away from her. You will become even more bad-tempered than me."
The Inuit shrugged and said, "That's not a good life. But if that's the case, why don't you go home? Back to be with your wife and child? "
Li Du said, "Because I have to find my friend. He has family too."
The Inuit shook his head and said, "No, Steve Tussenberg doesn't have any."
"But what about the others?" Li Du asked. "Many of the people with him, they all have wives and children, right? I have to find them, right? "
The Inuit looked at him awkwardly and said, "You can't find them. Most people, it's hard to find them, very, very hard …"
Li Du's heart tightened and he asked, "What do you mean? They, they're dead? "
The Inuit shook his head again and said, "No, I don't know. Who knows? Maybe only Tonasak knows … "
Hearing this, Li Du's heart skipped a beat. "Tonasak? The god of the sky? You're from the Inuit village that disappeared by this lake more than eighty years ago? "
The Inuit did not answer. He said seriously, "Tonasak is not the god of the sky, he is the god of time and space!"
Li Du murmured, "God of time and space? Control of time and space? D * mn, I'm a little confused. Tell me, what did Steve ask you to tell me? "
The Inuit asked, "Do you swear that you will leave after knowing this information?"
Li Du shook his head and said, "No, I have to find him, or at least hear the truth from his own mouth. Then I can stop. Otherwise, how can I explain myself?"
Seeing that he was determined, the Inuit slowly retreated and said, "Then I can't communicate with you anymore. I will come back to you until you are willing to accept my terms."
Young Markelov gave Li Du a look, asking if he wanted him to stay.
Li Du shook his head and said, "He will come back, there's no need to make things difficult for him, and I can see that he is a friend, not an enemy."
The Inuit laughed and said, "Of course, we don't make enemies of anyone, especially since you are our benefactor. In fact, there is some history between us, and you should thank us for coming here."
The last sentence was a little out of the blue, and Li Du asked subconsciously, "What do you mean by that?"
The Inuit did not explain, but turned and walked away with a mysterious smile on his face.
Young Markelov went up to him and pulled him back, saying, "Be careful."
The Inuit was startled and said, "What?"
Young Markelov said, "You almost stepped on this box on the ground, there is Ah Ow's toy in it. Oh, Ah Ow is the wolf-dog that looks very fierce. "
He sent the Inuit away, and Li Du sat in a chair in a daze.
Things were gradually getting out of his control, and everything was becoming mysterious and unpredictable. The whole thing was shrouded in a layer of mystery!
Young Markelov hurried back after sending the Inuit away. He opened a computer software and said, "Boss, let's go track him."
Li Du asked, "When you pushed him just now, did you put a tracker on him?"
Young Markelov chuckled and said, "Yes."
A jumping red dot appeared on the tablet computer, and the red dot gradually moved away from the camp. They quietly followed behind, keeping a certain distance, and maintaining the connection between the computer and the tracker signal.
After leaving the camp for some distance, the red dot made a turn and approached Lake Angikuni.
Li Du, Brother Wolf, and Young Markelov looked at each other. As they had guessed, this matter had something to do with the lake!
