“Don’t board the ship? What ship?” Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement, but he had some thoughts.

“I don’t know what ship he’s talking about either. That’s all he sent. However, other than that, he also sent me a piece of paper that came from a diary and a hand-drawn sketch. There should be a connection between the two.” Frod gestured for Lance to take out a piece of paper from a box beside him for Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen took the piece of paper and looked at it. He realized that it was indeed a very ordinary piece of diary paper. It wasn’t very big. On one side of the paper was a sketch. It was an anchor with a woman’s side profile.
This picture… When Zhou Wen saw the picture, he immediately felt as though he had grasped something, but he couldn’t make the connections. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
When Frod mentioned the ship, Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that it might be related to the anchor woman he had seen before. Now, he was finally certain that this was the anchor woman.
Perhaps the disappearance of the former principal was related to this symbol.
Don’t board the ship… Could it be… There’s really such a ship… Then, could the missing former principal have boarded this ship? Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen’s mind.
Frod continued, “Later on, when I wanted to contact Professor Ouyang Ting, there was a problem with the information network. Before I could deploy more people, something happened to the research team.”
“It would have been fine if something had happened during the research, but after my investigations, that wasn’t the case. The day before Professor Ouyang Ting and company went missing, a batch of things was transported out, but those things mysteriously disappeared. No matter how I investigated, I couldn’t find their whereabouts. If it wasn’t for the information left by the people I had previously planted, I wouldn’t have known that there was such a batch of things,” Frod said.
“What were the items?” Lance was also attracted by the story and couldn’t help but ask.
“I don’t know. The people I planted were only in charge of supplies. They couldn’t enter the core research team. Furthermore, during that period of time, my information network was severely damaged. Only one survived. I only made contact with him a few days after the incident.”
Frod said coldly, “After that, I carefully studied the pattern and the Zhuolu research team. Clearly, someone had deliberately erased all the clues and made it impossible to find anything. However, the pattern has been discovered in some places and investigations bore fruit.”
Zhou Wen and Lance looked at Frod. They wanted to know what the anchor symbol represented.
After studying it for so long, Zhou Wen still couldn’t figure out what it represented.
Frod said, “You should have heard of myths regarding floods, right? No matter which district’s myths or a religion’s legend, there are similar legends of a flood.”
Zhou Wen nodded. “There’s indeed a similar flood legend in the East District. Legend has it that the Water God fought the Fire God and slammed into Mt. Buzhou, causing the heavenly pillar to shatter. A huge flood descended from the sky and drowned the entire world.”
