Good news! My sister Lin finally stopped being abstract today!

Chapter 201 The Land of No Return

After grabbing their things, the two left the room.

Shen Yuyu: "So fast, you guys."

"Yes, we just chatted for a while, nothing else," Lin Zhihao replied.

“I usually take more than half an hour, but you guys came out in three minutes.”

Lin Zhihao: ? Three minutes? They've been playing around in there for more than three minutes, haven't they?

"Only three minutes have passed?" Lin Zhihao asked in surprise.

"Yes, three minutes." Shen Yuyu looked puzzled. Did this girl have no concept of time?

"Holy crap!" Lin Zhihao and He Manman stared at each other, their pupils dilating in shock. This was too outrageous, too bizarre! Wasn't this a temple? Why were they doing this to them?

"Alright, alright. Go back and rest. We'll go down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning."

"okay."

The next morning, Lin Zhihao and He Manman were dragged out of bed by Shen Yuyu.

He Manman tried to turn over, but found that she couldn't muster any strength at all; her whole body ached.

"Requesting backup." He Manman weakly stretched out her hand towards Lin Zhihao.

Lin Zhihao: ?

He pulled He Manman out of bed.

"What's the matter with you?"

"It hurts, my arms, thighs, shoulders, my whole body hurts." He Manman could barely lift her hand.

Yesterday's run was really strenuous; the amount of exercise was so sudden that I woke up today with sore muscles all over.

Lin Zhihao dragged He Manman down the mountain after breakfast. He Manman felt as if every step she took, from her feet to her thighs, was covered with a mosaic-like pattern.

Take one step, then snort. Take one step, then snort.

Lin Zhi couldn't bear to see it, so she and Qin Meng took turns carrying He Manman down the mountain.

"Manman, your stamina isn't what it used to be. Why don't you go to the martial arts school with Zhizhi when you get home and learn some martial arts?" Shen Yuyu suggested, looking at He Manman lying weakly on Lin Zhihao's back.

"good-"

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, a car was already waiting for them.

Sitting in the car, He Manman felt her body come back to life after receiving a full-body massage in the massage chair.

After a long and tiring journey, when they arrived home, Wang Ma had already prepared bath water for everyone. After distributing the amulets she had obtained from the temple to everyone in the family, Lin Zhihao took He Manman back to their room for a bath.

"Ah~ so cool!"

Lying in the bathtub, He Manman let out a satisfied sigh.

"Home is still the most comfortable place."

Lin Zhihao: "Yeah, yeah."

The bathtub in the room is large enough to fit two people comfortably.

Lin Zhihao placed the leather book she brought back from Huanxuan Temple by the bathtub.

He Manman got angry when she saw the book. She thought it was just that she couldn't open it, but later she found out that she couldn't even see the contents.

She was furious.

Lin Zhihao: "I've skimmed through this book. It has all sorts of things, but the most common topic is the four major gangs."

He Manman: "The underworld?"

Lin Zhihao: "No, but it seems that Yueqingcheng is maintained in a state of balance by these four major gangs."

"Oh."

Knowing that she couldn't see the contents, He Manman didn't show much interest.

She scrolled through her phone out of boredom.

A news article appeared before her eyes.

Shocking! An unknown giant creature has eaten a person again!

He Manman: ?

Clicking in revealed that it described a fleet that, while passing through Haicheng, accidentally veered off course and entered a thick fog. When the fog cleared, the entire fleet had vanished without a trace. Some onlookers claimed to have seen a huge black shadow flash by.

Pshaw, it's just some unscrupulous marketing accounts exaggerating and trying to attract attention again.

He Manman scoffed at these news reports and was about to click on them.

Suddenly her fingertips stopped.

"?"

Kitten^????^?: [Could it be that I've entered the Land of No Return again?]

This comment was the most popular comment on the news, and the replies below were also varied, mostly expressing shock and horror, all responding to the unanswered question.

Upon seeing the Land of No Return, He Manman was stunned. This was the place the abbot had sent them to. She had imagined it might be some small island, another country, or a hidden place in some mountain. She never thought it was underwater.

Lin Zhihao was studying the black book and hadn't heard He Manman's movements. He turned around and looked at her, only to find her staring at her phone with a look of utter despair.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at with that deadpan expression?"

He Manman slowly raised her head, "It seems we really need to die a little."

Lin Zhihao: ?

He Manman shared the news with Lin Zhihao.

Lin Zhihao also noticed the comment section mentioning the "no-turn zone".

The area is shrouded in fog year-round, forming two completely separate and strange landscapes with a small island as the boundary. Legend has it that any ship that gets close to the island will immediately disappear without a trace, and to date, hundreds of ships have vanished from there.

Even the government can't do anything about it; they can only ask the fishermen to stop going through there.

Fishermen generally don't go there, but there is a very valuable fish in the vicinity, one of which is worth a hundred other valuable fish. Compared to life, some people will still choose to seek wealth and risk. Some people came back, some never came back, and some returned after disappearing for a period of time, but they seemed to have amnesia about everything that happened during their disappearance.

"That's so mysterious."

"Yeah, Sister Lin, I'm a little scared too."

Lin Zhihao pondered, "Actually, I don't think I have that many questions I want to know."

He Manman nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, me too. I think things are alright now, life is pretty good."

Lin Zhihao: "I agree, let's take a break."

"Hmm."
