“Old Qin, you haven’t spoken since we entered the water. Did you think of something?11
Old Qin was speechless and struggled in Lin Yau’s hand. “I… I…”
This tone clearly didn’t mean that he had thought of something. Lin Yan’s heart skipped a beat. ‘ Don’t tell me you were frightened?!”
“I wasn’t!”
Old Qin’s voice suddenly became high-pitched, and there was even more panic from being exposed. “Nonsense! I clearly thought of something!11
Lin Yan was speechless. Perhaps Old Qin was frightened when he first woke up in the dark and sealed underwater world, so he was traumatized when he entered the water again?
“What do you mean?! Even if I call you Big Brother, you can t slander me! I really remember something!”
“What do you remember?”
“I, I… Oh yes, I remember now! I’ve seen it. I know it!”
“Seen whom? Know who?”
“Turtle Spirit Holy Mother!”
The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother?
Lin Yan was slightly shocked. This name sounded a little familiar, as if he had heard it in his previous life.
It seemed that in the novel “Investiture of the Gods”, there was a legendary character called the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother. There was also the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.
“Are you saying that you’ve seen this huge divine turtle? Her name is the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother? She’s a female turtle?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The more Old Qin spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was continuously searching his memories. ’’The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother is a powerful creature that was born holy. She came into being hundreds of years ago!”
“So, this Turtle Spirit Holy Mother has already lived for hundreds of years?”
“Hundreds of years? More than that! Before human history began, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had already lived in the world! However…”
Old Qin’s voice turned into confusion again. “That’s not right either. Why is this Turtle Spirit Holy Mother so small!”
Lin Yan said in a low voice, “It’s a hundred meters long and is like a mountain. Is this still considered small?”
“Small! Much smaller! In my memory, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was like an island that spanned the sea. She easily set off endless tides and was the overlord of the sea!”
Like an island?
An island might have a radius of several kilometers or even larger. Its size was much larger than the 16-armed Holy Buddha.
Lin Yan waited for a while, but Old Qin stopped talking.
“What else?”
“…That’s it!”
“What? Just the name of the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother?”
“…That’s all 1 remember, really!”
Lin Yan’s Mind Connection Technique had already reached Perfect Proficiency. He could even sense Old Qin’s emotions from his Mind Connection Technique. He was shy and anxious.
It seemed that the guy was indeed frightened. These things had just been recalled.
After pressing Old Qin down, Lin Yan continued walking out. Along the way, he encountered a few people. There were soldiers in bright silver armor and people in grayish-blue work clothes carrying large bags of tools. They looked like handymen.
There were many people coming and going.
“This floor looks like an office area, but I don’t know what their main job is…”
Lin Yan frowned slightly because when he brushed past a team of soldiers along the way, he smelled a mix of blood and a strange stench. It was the feeling that could instantly arouse his vigilance and condense his strength.
However, these soldiers did not carry any weapons on them. They only had a pair of silver-gray, ferocious, exquisite metal gloves made of special materials on their fists. The boots on their feet were also made of the same material and looked very exquisite.
Office cabins, toilets, diningroom…
Along the way, Lin Yan increasingly realized that the state of life in the prefecture capital was very likely a generation or two different from the lower city. It was completely different from the ancient barren state of the lower city, it could be seen from the food they ate in the restaurant.
Four dishes, one soup, white steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables with hot oil…
It was completely a modern standard of living.
“The development of technology is accumulated. Since the standard of living in the prefecture capital can reach the level of the modern world in my previous life, the productivity of industry and agriculture is definitely far ahead of the lower city.
“As long as a little leaks out, it can greatly improve the lives of the people in the lower cities.
“Why does the prefecture capital strictly seal the technology off and did not leak it into the lower cities at all?”
If it was because of laziness, Lin Yan felt that it was impossible. The development of industry and the increase in population definitely had huge benefits. Otherwise, the modern society in his previous life wouldn’t have developed so rapidly in just a few hundred years.
The only reason why the people from the prefecture capital did not do so was that it was not in their interest to do so.
“Is it because of… the Chaotic Fog?”
This floor was probably an office area. Lin Yan wandered around and realized that rhe interior of the Turtle Spirit Floly Mother was very spacious. There were ten large rooms on this floor, all of which were similar to large conference halls and dining halls.
All the rooms were roughly arranged in two squares. The passageways were all covered in steel, and there were lamps similar to those in the entrance room hanging on the top. However, these lamps were connected by pipes that kept injecting something, emitting a gentle glow.
Lin Yan walked around and naturally released his clones at rhe same time, causing Old Qin to shout and ask non-stop.
As such, his clones spread our. Just like the underground waterway back then, Lin Yan formed a rough perception of this office area.
There were frequent people coming and going in this office area. From time to time, people in grayish-blue work clothes would rush out. They would pass through a hidden entrance with tightly-guarded steel doors and disappear from this floor..
