While Lin Qiao and her people were returning to the earth's surface, Si Kongchen visited the secret lab which was located outside the base again.
"The batch of people that came out of the ground this time got away, and our people didn't get a thing. We have no idea what happened to your daughter, but I think if she's really dead as you said, it must have something to do with the woman from All Beings Base," Si Kongchen sat in the sofa in Professor Bai's office and leaned against the back of the sofa as he looked at Professor Bai and said.
Professor Bai was wearing a sullen look. His wrinkles seemed to have grown deeper, and his back had become hunched. He looked quiet and listless. On hearing Si Kongchen's words, he sat behind his desk motionlessly, looking at Xie Longyun's photo, which was on the desk, without saying anything. Si Kongchen looked at him and fell into silence as well.
