Liu Yunyan (Ping): "Let me tell you the truth... The reason I didn't contact you a few days ago was because we couldn't figure out a way to get out of the cave until the very end. We thought we wouldn't survive, and we didn't want to drag you down with us, so we didn't send you any messages."

Liu Yunyan (Ping): "As a result, during the earthquake last night, there was a slight backflow of seawater, and we swam out with the current."

Liu Yunyan (flat): "Guihua used the Sea-Suppressing Soul Pearl you gave me. That pearl is amazing! It can isolate the waves! That's how we escaped from the cave... It was so thrilling!"

“But there’s something strange…” Liu Enxi paused for a moment, then said softly, “Actually, we don’t know why the unique manuscript was completed so inexplicably, since the plot clearly wasn’t finished yet?”

"What's the plot?" Xi Xi asked quickly, having vaguely guessed what was going on.

“Yes, yes, it’s so strange… We saw the painting you sent us, ‘Tide Star,’ in the lobby on the first floor of Dongli Station.” Liu Yunyan continued her sister’s words. She seemed to have finished eating and drinking, and Xi Xi could still vaguely hear the sound of dishes being cleared away.

“I called my older sister right away, and then Sheji came over too.”

“He told us that the painting is called ‘Tide Star’ and was painted by Guihua. He thought it was very suitable, so he hung it in the hall.”

Liu Yunyan complained to the screen again, "Isn't it strange? After he said those words, the game suddenly indicated that it was completed!? That doesn't make sense!!"

Xi Xi on the other end was also stunned. She clearly heard She Ji say the same thing! The location, the people, and the content all matched up! At the time, she felt confused, as if it were some kind of fixed dialogue.

She suddenly understood.

Good heavens! It turns out that she and Li Jinshao completed the earthquake frequency deduction task in the second half of the rare book without ever receiving any mission or even being in the middle of nowhere!

So, after she joined the Liu sisters' team, she indirectly helped them speed through the second half of the story!
