After a short rest, Zhou Siyu threw herself back into finding and researching information.

Based on the information available so far, the mysterious third prince died in a fire that completely destroyed the luxurious and beautiful manor.

The King of Etolan never forgot the third prince. He not only kept the disfigured body, burned beyond recognition, by his side, but also built the Etolan Laboratory to study the methods of resurrection.

The third prince's last words were also very interesting: "A pure soul will live forever."

According to theological views, the human body is merely a vessel for the soul, and death is simply the disappearance of the body, while the soul enters a blissful world.

Zhou Siyu naturally didn't believe in any of that; he believed in living for the moment.

After searching, Yu Zhen and Zhou Yu found some information about the Kao virus and artificial mermaids. Zhou Siyu found a lot of research data on gene technology, as well as research projects on Lianmu grass and Lanling tree. The group discussed for a while at the door and unanimously decided to return the way they came and leave quickly.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The ground beneath my feet suddenly began to shake violently, and years of accumulated dust fell down in a flurry.

When the tremors stopped, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

The three people protected by the mechs were fine and basically unaffected, but poor Milk Bun was not so lucky. Not only was its face covered in dust, but its white fur was also stained blackish-gray, as if it had just come back from digging coal in a cave.

"Haha, the milk-flavored steamed bun has turned into a buckwheat steamed bun."

Yu Zhen mocked him rather unkindly, while reaching out to brush the dust off the milk-flavored steamed bun.

Milk-scented Bun twisted its body, whimpering and rubbing against Zhou Siyu, occasionally turning its head to look at Yu Zhen, indicating that someone was bullying it and asking Zhou Siyu to stand up for it.

"Ugh, it's so dirty."

Zhou Siyu outwardly showed disdain, but her hands honestly patted the dust off the milk-flavored steamed bun, and carefully parted the snow-white fur with a flashlight, removing the debris stuck between the fur.

“Si Yu…”

A faint male voice suddenly drifted from afar, floating lightly into my ears.

Zhou Siyu was taken aback and looked at the other two. "Which of you is calling me?"

"No."

Zhou Yu and Yu Zhen shook their heads in unison.

They didn't hear anything. Could Zhou Siyu be hallucinating?

"Hmm? Maybe I'm hallucinating."

Zhou Siyu shrugged. Strange, was it because he missed Yu Wei so much that he was hallucinating?

“Si Yu…”

The voice seemed to be getting closer, as if someone who hadn't heard a response was slowly approaching.

That's strange.

Zhou Siyu rubbed his ears, it seemed that he was the only one who was hallucinating.

Seeing that Zhou Siyu's expression was off, Zhou Yu was about to ask him a question when he heard a faint voice calling out in his ear.

“Ayu…”

“Ayu…”

The sound, as light as a feather, landed in his ear and exploded into a flower in his heart. Zhou Yu stood there in disbelief, staring intently into the dark distance.

"Hey? What's wrong with you guys?"

Seeing the two people beside him suddenly lost in thought, Yu Zhen, who was dusting off the milk-flavored steamed buns, stood up. Before he could see that the two people would react, he heard someone calling him from not far away. The voice was gentle but slightly urgent.

“Zhenzhen…”

"Zhenzhen!"

"Damn it! What's that damned Lin dog doing here too?!"

Yu Zhen cursed under his breath, looked around, and seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he simply squatted down and hid behind the milk-scented steamed bun.

Lin Gu must have been acting strangely, clinging to him like a leech all day long, it's so annoying!

"Siyu... come here..."

A gentle, deep voice echoed in his ears, as if possessing immense magic, pulling him forward.

"Hey, hey, hey, sister-in-law, where are you going?"

Yu Zhen, who was squatting behind the milk-flavored steamed bun, sensed something was wrong and reached out to pull Zhou Siyu, but was shaken off. Helpless, he could only pounce on the ground and hold on tightly to Zhou Siyu's legs to prevent him from leaving.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Siyu was incredibly strong and broke free of his restraints effortlessly. Instead, Yu Zhen was kicked twice by him.

"Sister-in-law, come back!"

Yu Zhen got up, took a few steps forward and grabbed Zhou Siyu's arm. The voice, like a spell, echoed in her ear again: "Zhenzhen... come here, come see me... hug me... I missed you so much..."

"Pah, you bastard! You only know to reach out when your eyebrows are on fire, you only know to dig a latrine when you need to pee, and you only know to look for someone when they're gone! How can you be so shameless!" Yu Zhen shouted while grabbing Zhou Siyu. "You still have the nerve to come looking for me, you still have the nerve to say you missed me? Where were you eight hundred years ago? You even wanted a hug, ptooey! Don't disgust me, I'm about to throw up my lunch!"

"You better not bother me again, or I'll beat you up every time I see you, and twice if I see you twice, and beat you to death. Then I'll throw you into the desert to dry into jerky and feed you to the dogs! No, feeding you to the dogs is too good for you. I'm going to grind the jerky into powder and sprinkle it in the stinking ditch so you can spend your whole life with rats and bacteria!"

Before they could pull Zhou Siyu back, Zhou Yu himself seemed to be possessed, muttering something as he walked forward.

"What the hell? You two must have taken the wrong medicine!"

Yu Zhen was on the verge of tears. What had he done to deserve this? Not only could he hear Lin Gou's annoying voice in this godforsaken place, but he also had two people around him who were possessed and couldn't be stopped from running around.

He was so tired, his heart was so tired.

"Awoo~ Awooooo..."

The milk-scented steamed bun raised its head and howled a few times towards the distance, and the sounds around it immediately disappeared.

Zhou Siyu stood still as if waking from a dream, and when she came to her senses, a chill ran down her spine.

The milk-flavored steamed bun shook its neck, looked straight ahead, scratched the ground with its bent hind paws, its snow-white tail drooped, and its body was like a drawn bow.
