Bai Lin originally wanted to pull Ye Xing off her body and hand her over to Zhou Guang, but Ye Xing stuck to her like she was a floating log. Bai Lin had no choice but to carry Ye Xing in her arms and look around the corner.

Ye Xing’s cries immediately stopped as Bai Lin’s arms were warm and reliable. A faint womanly scent entered her nose, and she could not help but blush. She quietly got down from Bai Lin’s arms.

However, the moment she came down, she felt that the way Yan Ruo was looking at her was very strange; it was with an inexplicable sense of a distance… and offense?

Ye Xing thought, ‘Lin-jie, save me. I still want to be hugged by Lin-jie.’

The sound of water dripping was slow and continuous, but Bai Lin carefully observed it and did not find anything unusual.

It was a very large s.p.a.ce inside, but it was extremely empty. The ceiling and the surrounding walls were completely white, and there was almost no decoration.

The sound of water dripping came from a corner of the wall, where the ceiling was leaking.

Although this was strange, it was not completely unreasonable. According to Bai Lin’s memory of the research inst.i.tute, one would find that there was an important laboratory for cultivating plants a few floors above the ceiling if the layout of each floor was restored to a floor plan and stacked together. It was also the locked laboratory that Bai Lin and Yan Ruo had encountered before.

The monster locked inside should have been left unattended for a long time.

Perhaps it had gone crazy and destroyed the water pipe, causing water leakage. According to the setting, the research inst.i.tute had been abandoned for three years, so it was not surprising that the water could seep into the bas.e.m.e.nt through the hidden pipe.

“What happened here? Why are you the only one left?” She turned around to ask Ye Xing. Ye Xing’s face was still wet with tears, and she was frowning slightly after being threatened by Yan Ruo’s gaze. The corners of her mouth were also pursed because of nervousness. She was truly a little beauty that one could not help but pity.

Of course, this greatly aroused Bai Lin’s desire to protect her.

“It was going well at first, but when we got here, Youyou suddenly disappeared, and then Xuan-ge disappeared as well. I called them, but they ignored me… Jing Shan was supposed to stand with me, but when he walked toward me, I saw him slowly disappear.” Ye Xing’s voice started to choke up. “I was so scared. I didn’t know what to do, so I could only run back. Fortunately,

I met you guys.”

“Don’t worry,” Bai Lin patted Ye Xing’s head and tried to comfort her in a gentle tone, “They’ll be fine. It’s probably just a trick of light and mechanism. Don’t be afraid.”

Yan Ruo took a step forward and decided to go to the place where Ye Xing said the others had disappeared to check the situation.

Bai Lin looked at the wall on the ceiling and carefully identified the abnormalities in the cracks. “They must’ve used a mirror to make a maze, which has a certain sound-proof effect. Coupled with the projection technology, it’s like Ye Xing said, she just watched Jing Shan disappear.”

“Yes, but we don’t know how big the maze is. We can’t act rashly.” Yan Ruo’s gaze toward Bai Lin was always filled with unconcealed admiration.

“Why don’t we just find where the mirror is placed? After breaking it, it won’t interfere with people’s vision and affect their judgment like now,” Zhou Guang directly suggested the simplest and crudest method.

However, Bai Lin shook her head in disagreement. “We don’t know where the others are. If we break the gla.s.s, they might get hurt.

“Either there’s an easier mechanism or a way to crack the maze, or the maze itself exists as a pa.s.sage, and we need to enter the maze to proceed to the next step,” Bai Lin briefly explained her judgment, and Ye Xings eyes lit up.

Ye Xing moved over to Bai Lin and said, “Lin-jie, Zheng You and Jing Shan left quite a few markings along the way after we came in. Zheng You said that it was to let you find us as soon as possible. If they were in the maze, they would’ve found a way to leave markings too, right?”

“Then we just need to find the entrance to the maze.” Bai Lin gave a simple summary of the next segment.

Then, she walked to the side and gently pressed her finger against the wall. As she walked, her finger slowly slid across the wall.

Soon, Bai Lin found a slight b.u.mp on the wall.

“I found it.” Bai Lin turned her head to look at Yan Ruo. Yan Ruo was also copying her and using his fingers to swipe the wall..
