Tan Muxing was originally alternating between chest compressions and artificial respiration. Now that she had confirmed that her breathing was gradually recovering, she dared not relax and continued to persevere.

A moment later, Liu Jun and others followed the information left by Tan Muxing and found the two people from Langxi along the dark river.

Not until the paramedics were about to carry Chu Qianli away did Tan Muxing dare to make some space, but he still followed nervously behind.

Inside the hospital, the unconscious Chu Qianli was taken away by medical staff for rescue, while others wandered worriedly in the corridor.

Liu Jun reported: "There were soldiers from Country A and Country H who were turned against the government at the explosion site, but the mastermind of the incident has not been found."

Liu Jun and his team put out the flames near the Majestic Pillar and then captured the remaining personnel, but they did not see Lin and his team for a long time. The other party might have escaped at the beginning of the explosion and now no one knows where they are.

"Okay, I understand." Pan Yicheng said solemnly, "Abner has already informed Q that they will launch a nationwide manhunt. This matter must be explained."

Lin and Country A suddenly launched an armed rebellion, which not only caused serious losses within the Country H team, but also dragged in innocent Chinese teams, with extremely bad consequences.

Pan Yicheng had already withdrawn his troops from Yuan and Meiru Z, and only arranged for armed police to keep a close eye on the movements near the ruins, fearing that Chinese personnel would be affected by the civil war in Country H.

"Muxing, go back and change your clothes first." Pan Yicheng sighed. Seeing Tan Muxing sitting on the bench with a haggard look on her face, he advised, "We will inform you as soon as we have any news. Don't let yourself collapse in the end."

Tan Muxing shook his head silently.

The recovery of a drowning person's breathing does not mean recovery. Many people may remain unconscious, fall into complete brain death, and become a vegetative state.

Chu Qianli didn't close her eyes now, so Tan Muxing naturally didn't want to leave.

Pan Yicheng noticed his persistence and it was not appropriate to say anything more, so he just brought him a blanket and some hot tea.

At this moment, a sharp male voice came from the side: "Don't worry, she is fine. She is unconscious now because she has just been enlightened. It has nothing to do with brain death."

Tan Muxing looked up when he heard this, and he saw Huang Jue, whom he had not seen for a long time, now ready to go. Huang Jue had collapsed in the corridor and was sent to the hospital by Pan Yicheng and others, but he did not expect him to appear at this time.

Pan Yicheng looked hesitant: "...Why do you always show up suddenly?"

"It's all because of the ruins. I didn't expect you humans to be so stingy. Not only did you simply and rudely drive me out, but you also made my disciples extremely unstable recently." Huang Xian said dissatisfiedly, "These people are so rude. There's no fox sign at the door saying you can't enter!"

According to Huang Xian, the murals on the walls of the corridor convey information to humans. As a fox fairy, he was inexplicably taken away, causing his disciple Huang Jue to cough up blood and faint on the spot. This corridor is a directional screening, and he cannot enter with his identity.

Tan Muxing trembled and asked, "Are you really okay?"

"Of course it's okay. I've treated so many people, and I can tell what's wrong with them at a glance." Huang Xian glanced at the door of the emergency room and said calmly, "It's better to say that her chance has come."

In Huang Xian's vision, Chu Qianli was wrapped in golden light when she was sent here, but mortals cannot see these. She seemed to have gained new breakthroughs from the mural.

Pan Yicheng had a complicated expression: "You are practicing medicine without a license."

"If she can be cured, then that's fine." Huang Xian was as if his tail had been stepped on, and said angrily, "Let's make a bet. I guess she will wake up soon!"

The next moment, someone came out of the house and announced the good news, saying that Chu Qianli had woken up safely!

Tan Muxing's expression suddenly relaxed. He stood up subconsciously, staring at the ward, waiting for notification from the medical staff.

Huang Xian was very proud: "I won the bet."

"But I didn't bet with you," Pan Yicheng reminded, "She woke up because of the hospital's emergency treatment, which does not change the fact that you practiced medicine without a license."

“Tsk.”

Tan Muxing went into the house to meet Chu Qianli.

Huang Xian looked at Pan Yicheng who was standing motionless beside him and asked in confusion: "Aren't you going?"

Pan Yicheng stood at the door the whole time. He was obviously worried, but he didn't go over.

"You have to choose the right time to do things. I'll go two minutes late." Pan Yicheng touched his nose and said, "So what does the mural on the corridor say?"

"I don't know, but I guess it has something to do with the decision of you mortals, so you kicked me out." Huang Xian said, "No matter what immortal sect it is, there will always be similarities, whether it's the image of the immortals or the concept of cultivation. Even people who are far away can have the same experience..."

“Even ordinary people without any faith and without any relevant spiritual practice may occasionally have flashes of inspiration, which may even make them feel magical. The murals record these common contents.”

Pan Yicheng was stunned: "Are you talking about the collective subconscious?"

"..." Huang Xian asked blankly, "What is collective subconsciousness?"

As a university professor, Pan Yicheng answered the question for the illiterate fox: "The spiritual sediment of countless similar experiences in the process of human evolution is hidden in everyone's heart in an unclear form. Perhaps it will never be discovered by the individual in a lifetime, but it has been invisibly pushing or restricting everyone."

Huang Xian was confused: "...Say something the fox can understand."

Pan Yicheng stroked his chin and thought to himself, "If we use the theory of collective subconsciousness, then even the spirits of the shamans can be explained. After all, images like fox spirits are common symbols and can be said to be expressions of human subconsciousness."

"I am a genuine fox fairy!" Huang Xian shouted, "No science, no science, you are more offensive to foxes than a stinky Taoist priest!"

The Taoists at least denied the existence of Chu Ma Xian from the perspective of Taoism, but Pan Yicheng actually denied it from the perspective of atheism.

In the ward, Chu Qianli underwent complex examinations and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her body, which surprised the medical staff. Their biggest concern was brain death, which was an irreversible injury, but she seemed to be very relaxed when she was drowning, avoiding the risks of improper struggle.

The medical staff left after they finished their work. They went outside to discuss the situation with Pan Yicheng, and another person walked in from outside the door.

Chu Qianli raised her eyes and saw who it was. Her face instantly lit up with joy and she said in surprise, "Xingxing."

When Tan Muxing stepped into the house, he saw her awake again, and he felt as if he was in another world. Perhaps it was because he had a deep impression of her cold and quiet appearance by the dark river, and seeing her bright and joyful expression again, he even had the illusion that he had fallen into a dream, which made him stunned and unable to believe it.

Chu Qianli looked at him in confusion as he stood there.

After a moment, Tan Muxing lowered his eyes and spoke softly, "Is it true?"

"What?"

“…You said then that you had no regrets.”

He guessed that she had anticipated something, so she said something that sounded like a farewell.

Chu Qianli was stunned when she heard this. She lowered her head in frustration and whispered, "I'm sorry, I lied..."

"I realized it while I was underwater. I still have regrets."

She would be deeply sorry if she never saw him again.

When Tan Muxing saw Chu Qianli hanging her head and looking depressed, he finally couldn't help but went forward to hug her.

When he touched her warmth, he felt the real sense of regaining what he had lost. He couldn't help but tremble slightly, trying to drive away the nightmare by the dark river in his mind.

She is full of energy and joy, with endless vitality, not a fragile and brittle cold shell.

She has a lot of crazy ideas, but she is also considerate and can heal others, always making things positive and beautiful.

He couldn't imagine her disappearing.

Chu Qianli noticed that Tan Muxing was trembling. She pressed her face against his arm, buried it in his arms, and her eyes began to turn red. She subconsciously rubbed her face against him.

"I'm back."

The two searched for each other in the dark and cold river for a long time, and finally they were able to share a pure and warm embrace at this moment.

They snuggled together silently, like two stars that had been together in the sky since ancient times, and they were always close to each other regardless of the sunrise or sunset.

After a long time, Tan Muxing calmed down and then he let her go gently, as if touching something fragile.

Chu Qianli felt his body temperature disappear. She pouted and muttered, "Xingxing kissed me secretly."

"Huh?"

"You kissed me secretly by the water, and I felt it!" she accused dissatisfiedly.

Tan Muxing had just come out of his emotional ups and downs, but now he was caught off guard by her. He explained in panic, "That was CPR, alternating between external cardiac massage and artificial respiration, in a 30 to 2 ratio..."

He was in a state of great confusion at the time, and had no erotic thoughts at all. He never expected that she would outwit him!

"I don't care, I want to get it back."

Chu Qianli suddenly stood on the hospital bed. She rushed forward and then left as soon as she touched him, revealing a cunning smile.

Tan Muxing only felt something wet and soft on his face. When he realized it was a kiss, his ears suddenly turned bright red. It was hard to describe the throbbing heart he felt at that moment.

Countless mushroom clouds exploded in his chest, making him so embarrassed that he couldn't control himself and looked back at her in disbelief.

She stared at him with a smile on her face, her whole face full of pride, all of which was due to her being spoiled by him and acting recklessly.

If there is an idiom called "a deer running around in a panic", then this is just "a bear running around in a panic".

Chu Qianli generously extended her hand, and she took the initiative to ask him for a hug, and deliberately smiled and stretched out her voice: "My life-saving star."

Tan Muxing's face was flushed now. He opened his mouth to say something, but she was so cute that he was speechless. He could only silently reach out to hug her back.

The next moment, someone at the door said awkwardly: "Ahem, how are you recovering now?"

Pan Yicheng mistakenly thought that he had controlled the time well, but he didn't expect that the timing of his entry was still wrong.

When Tan Muxing saw Professor Pan enter the room, he immediately stood up straight like lightning and retreated to the wall with a red face.

Pan Yicheng pretended not to notice and said calmly, "It seems that you all have perked up."

"Professor Pan."

"It's okay. I just want to ask two questions. You can have a good rest after that." Pan Yicheng said, "Muxing said that the explosion had already occurred when he went down to find you. Did you meet Lin at that time?"

"Not only that, there is also Lilith who I met during the selection. Qiao was captured by them."

Pan Yicheng thought thoughtfully: "These people have not been found yet. After they escaped, they should prepare for the next wave soon."

If Lin and others cannot seize the key, then they will probably have to fight a decisive battle at the Gate of Truth. It is just unknown when they will gather together.

Chu Qianli said seriously: "Professor Pan, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"You can't open the ruins now. It's not the right time yet."

Chu Qianli informed Pan Yicheng of the mural information. The Chinese side came to cooperate in the development of baby stone, but the situation has obviously changed now, which is completely different from the original intention.

She described the terrible consequences that had been uncovered in advance: the endless raging war that would burn everything, causing Tan Muxing and Pan Yicheng to change their expressions.

Pan Yicheng sighed: "I had this feeling not long ago. If Country A suddenly intervenes, even if the ruins are opened, there is no guarantee that other countries will not fight for them. I'm afraid there will be chaos by then."

China and Mondsen do have an agreement, but other forces don't care. In the face of huge interests, any alliance will easily collapse, just like the country H that is caught in internal strife.

Chu Qianli recalled: "I completed a huge occupation underwater with the help of murals, and saw countless pictures about the future. Fifty years later, the existing world order was completely disrupted, countless once-prosperous countries disappeared one after another, and mankind ushered in an unimaginable period of chaos, but the five stars in the sky did not go out. Two hundred years later, a young man from the East set foot here again, and that was the moment when the ruins were truly opened..."

"The living environment in the future will be very different from the present. People may live in the virtual world for a long time. The baby stone is not only an energy source, but also can mobilize human brain activity." Chu Qianli added, "But if we dig it out rashly, it will probably intensify the existing contradictions and cause the annihilation of major civilizations around the world."

Tan Muxing understood: "Before nuclear weapons were invented, the world was not like this either."

"I will report the situation back." Pan Yicheng thought, "If we want to close the ruins, how confident are you?"

When Chu Qianli heard this, he knew that Professor Pan had made a decision. They were not here to grab the human resources first. Perhaps they should just let things take their own course and wait for the younger generations to discover them.

"The seventh bead is at the Gate of Truth. There is no need to build it specially. Only after the first six beads fall can the calibration work begin." Chu Qianli said, "Just let me touch the dial of the seven-star chain in the hall."

The other key placement points are built independently and do not require the help of other keys. Only the last calibration requires precision, and six stars must be aligned to open the instrument. Fortunately, this time there is no need to worry about the design, and the lobby facilities can be used for stargazing calibration.

Pan Yicheng looked embarrassed: "But now Q has sent people to the lobby."

The Chinese side is willing to accept the retention of strength and closure of the ruins, but the Mondsen family may not agree. According to Chu Qianli, it is unclear whether H country will exist in the future, and perhaps the ruins will no longer belong to Mondsen.

Chu Qianli thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "Can I see him?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Let me take his place once and see what kind of future he wants."
