Chapter 357: 215, Mysterious Underwater Ruins!

"Lin Zi, wait for me!" Shen Qinghan called out as soon as she landed, running towards Lin Zichen ahead.

Upon hearing her shout, Lin Zichen immediately turned around and ran back, scooping Shen Qinghan into his arms and charging towards the research institute.

Their speed was so fast that a rush of air was whipped up everywhere they passed.

It sent bystanders' skirts flying and hair slapping against faces.

In just over ten seconds,

Lin Zichen had rushed with Shen Qinghan to the entrance of the research institute.

After setting Shen Qinghan down, he conjured a card out of thin air and opened the research institute's main door with a beep.

At this time, dawn had not fully broken.

At this hour,

Liu Chuanwu would usually still be at home and not yet arrived.

Song Yuyan would generally still be sleeping in her own room within the institute.

As a result, the inside of the institute was dim and murky.

Lin Zichen didn't bother switching on the lights upon entering, and directly led Shen Qinghan towards Liu Chuanwu's office.

They were halfway there when

Song Yuyan suddenly emerged from the dim restroom, completely naked.

Not a thread on her body, wearing nothing but a pair of white cotton slippers on her feet.

Lin Zichen froze.

Shen Qinghan also froze.

Song Yuyan was dumbfounded.

She had slept naked last night and was just woken up by the need to pee, thinking that the institute was empty at this hour and so she boldly went to the restroom bare.

But she could never have dreamed that upon exiting the restroom she would run into Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

After a moment of regaining her senses,

Song Yuyan immediately covered her lower and upper body with her hands, took a step back into the restroom, and then "bang"—shut the door.

It's so early in the morning, the sky isn't even fully lit yet; what could these two be doing here!

I've lived for so long and haven't even held a man's hand; now, my body has been seen all at once, my carefully guarded chastity of nearly thirty years is gone!

How am I going to face those two from now on!

Song Yuyan's mindset exploded, her hands firmly covering her blushing face that seemed about to drip water, feeling both embarrassed and upset, wishing she could move to another planet.

Outside,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan both felt embarrassed for Song Yuyan inside and thought it was a total social death scenario.

They had been in such a rush when they arrived, and with no light in the restroom and it being gloomy inside, they had not noticed Song Yuyan at all.

This inattention had created this incredibly awkward situation.

Despite the embarrassment, Lin Zichen was in a hurry to get the underwater ruins recording and couldn't dwell on it; he quickly continued leading Shen Qinghan to Liu Chuanwu's office.

Once they had copied the recording and came out of the office together,

Song Yuyan, who just moments before was distressed and hiding in the restroom, now was dressed in a loose martial arts uniform, sitting on the sofa in the living area and looking at her phone.

Seeing them come out, Song Yuyan tried to act as if nothing had happened, but her tone was rather stiff, "What are you two doing here so early?"

Lin Zichen replied, "We've come to copy the underwater ruins recording that President Liu saved on his computer, to show Pavilion Master and see if she recognizes the wall paintings."

"Pavilion Master came looking for you?"

"Right, she said she wanted to stay in my and Han Han's dormitory for a while, to absorb more blood and accumulate energy in preparation for entering the Origin Land."

"I see."

"Yuyan, I won't say more, I need to get back to the dormitory before Pavilion Master lies down in her coffin to hibernate."

With that, Lin Zichen didn't look back as he took Shen Qinghan and left the research institute.

...

On their way back to the dormitory.

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment, but eventually she couldn't help asking, "Lin Zi, did you see Yuyan's body just now?"

"I saw it." Lin Zichen answered honestly.

That scene was so blatant; to say he didn't see anything would be fooling a child.

Shen Qinghan: "Yuyan is so clean, her entire body is white and tender; it's really enviable."

A loaded question, huh?

Lin Zichen didn't fall for it and deftly responded, "Anyone can envy Yuyan except you; you're countless times more delicate than her."

Shen Qinghan was inwardly thrilled by his words.

Without further conversation, Lin Zichen quickened his pace back to the dormitory.

Before long,

they returned with the copied video in hand back to their dorm.

Lin Zichen wasted no second, swiftly going to his room to get his tablet, and uploaded the copied video onto it.

Then, he pressed play displaying the video in front of Qi Qingmo for her viewing.

Qi Qingmo was somewhat curious about the tablet, this technological product, but she didn't explore it, and instead focused on watching the underwater ruins in the recording.

When she saw the vast painting on the wall of marine creatures worshiping a woman, her delicate and exquisite eyebrows slightly raised.

Exactly the same!

The underwater ruins in the recording were identical to the one she entered years ago, even the wall painting content was the same!

The content depicted marine creatures, reverently kneeling before a mysterious woman lying in a shell!

Moreover, it was the same woman!

"Where is this underwater ruin?"

Qi Qingmo's interest was piqued; she wanted to explore the ruins in the video for herself.

Lin Zichen said, "It's gone."

"Gone?"

Qi Qingmo was puzzled.

Lin Zichen explained, "The underwater ruin in the video was explored and recorded by President Liu years ago."

"President Liu said that after he came out from the ruins, he wanted to go in a second time, but found that the entrance had disappeared."

"He asked the local fishermen, and they all said there couldn't be any ruins there, suggesting that President Liu must have remembered incorrectly."
