There must be intel about the Lake Bottom Research Institute in that office.
To be precise, there should be most of the intel in his office.
Even when the Storm Giant Dragon attacked too suddenly, Dr. Jubino probably didn't have time to transfer the office documents.
Now that Ye Bai enters the office, he surely can find some valuable research materials.
It's even possible to find intel about the Lake Bottom Research Institute.
"Lady Bat, I think we should go out for a trip."
Ye Bai said firmly to Lady Bat.
"Go out for a trip?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Let's not even talk about whether we can break through the Space King's barrier."
"Now with the gale and storm outside, ninety-nine percent of New Covenant University has turned into a swamp."
"Staying in the shelter is the safest. Why would you take this risk?"
"Are you the dark horse of the Global Researcher Competition?"
"Once you win the championship, your fame will spread all over the world."
Lady Bat advised bitterly. She doesn't want Ye Bai dying at New Covenant University, which would make her look extremely incompetent.
"Because I have to carry out a secret mission."
"So I must go out to complete the task."
Ye Bai needs to complete the mission entrusted by Su Qingxian's master ancestor, to retrieve the Fighting Wolf's dog bowl.
The dog bowl contains Wise Essence, which Su Qingxian's master ancestor explicitly wanted to obtain.
At the same time, he also hopes to get the Energy Core of the Steel Giant Dragon.
Seeing Ye Bai's determination, Lady Bat was also torn internally.
Honestly, Lady Bat is the type with a laid-back personality, not liking being imprisoned in the shelter.
These days she's been wanting to run out to breathe free air, she's almost suffocated.
But she must protect Ye Bai and his companions to prevent them from being assassinated.
If any contestants have casualties, it would also affect Lady Bat.
"Do you have a protection mission?"
"Actually, I think you can leave one of your pet beasts behind. If a fight happens, you can use Instant Movement to arrive beside your pet beast and fight alongside it."
"The Beautiful Country wouldn't choose to do anything inside the shelter, which would give them a bad reputation."
Lady Bat thought Ye Bai made good points, so she used the Soul Artifact to communicate with the Flame Country and received orders to fully follow Ye Bai's instructions.
Hence, Lady Bat began using the Spatial Bat Wings of the Soul Artifact to attempt circumventing the Space King's barrier to directly reach the surface.
Above New Covenant University.
The dense clouds covered the sky like heavy fortresses, moving slowly, pouring rain fell from above.
Thunder Roars split the sky, gale howled fiercely like a beast roaring, trees were ravaged, collapsing here and there, some centuries-old trees were even uprooted.
The endless torrential rain poured down, each drop like a pebble, hitting the lake surface and causing splashes.
The lake water overflowed the banks, turned into a swamp, rushing torrents appeared ready to devour everything around.
In this ravaging storm, everything blurred, only the omnipresent, rapidly rising water and the terrifying gale were clear.
Lady Bat managed to bypass the barrier set by the Space King using her Soul Artifact, arriving in the outside world.
Many buildings at New Covenant University were underwater, turned into Atlantis.
Occasionally, a river porcupine shaped like a whale swam past from below.
Their bodies were covered in spines, sharp teeth like jagged saws, chewing centuries-old trees like grass.
Emperor Lobsters were destroying the buildings of New Covenant University.
Their robust pincers were working at full capacity.
Blade Crabs climbed onto school buildings, breaking the architecture with sharp pincers and chewing them.
Cow Demon Snake chaos danced inside New Covenant University.
Lady Bat directly set up barriers to shield Ye Bai from the storm's erosion.
"It's pitch black here, not even normal electricity. How can we find Dr. Jubino's office?"
Ye Bai shook his head: "Don't rush. For internal networks, New Covenant University has one."
"Even with gale and rain, floods can't cut off New Covenant University's circuits."
"Otherwise, how could my laptop have signal?"
"Found it, Dr. Jubino's office is at this location."
Ye Bai successfully pinpointed the location with his laptop, and Lady Bat also got the spatial coordinates.
"Let's go."
Lady Bat took Ye Bai with Instant Movement, arriving in an office filled with books the next second.
But the water level was a meter high, books soaked, and dissolved in water.
Furniture of all sizes floated above the surface.
"Ye Bai, here it's already flooded."
"Even if Dr. Jubino put documents here, they're mostly useless."
Ye Bai didn't speak but glanced around.
His gaze fell on a family photo.
It showed a young Dr. Jubino and his lovely wife.
At this moment, Ye Bai noticed a floating suitcase on the water.
He reached out to pick up the suitcase, water poured off.
"Lady Bat, can you open this suitcase?"
Ye Bai raised the suitcase; it had something inside.
"Let me see, it should be no problem."
Lady Bat directly extended her hand, fingers passing through the suitcase surface, entering inside.
With a crisp click, the suitcase opened.
Inside was a yellowed diary.
[June 1, 2150, clear, I finally succeeded; the Steel Giant Dragon's core is researched, I can use Steel Giant Dragon to fight the Four Virtues, and I will drive them out.]
[June 2, 2150, clear, impossible, they must have lied; how could Eliza touch the Relics of the Old Gods, I have warned against it entering the institute, and taking Relics requires cumbersome procedures, where did it go wrong.]
[June 5, 2150, cloudy, I finally saw Eliza, but she seems to not remember me; she accepted the Relics of the Old Gods, mutated, her slender legs became hideous octopus legs.]
[June 7, 2150, clear, what! The complete lockdown of the Lake Bottom Research Institute, what about my Eliza, I have to take her out, no matter the cost.]
[June 30, 2150, clear, I failed, Eliza was captured, locked in the Lake Bottom Research Institute, they want her in eternal sleep.]
[August 30, 2150, clear, I thought of a method; I'm researching the Unspeakable Entity, once I discover its weaknesses, I'll return to save you, wait for me, Eliza.]
Ye Bai discovered Dr. Jubino's regret and remorse from the diary; as it went, the writing became more hurried, more desperate.
Not only did he lead the Demon Blood Serum plan, but he also was involved in the study of the Relics of the Old Gods.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jubino still contracted a young Angel.
Dr. Jubino went to the Lake Bottom Research Institute to save his wife.
He wanted to find a way to restore her sanity.
Ye Bai thinks he should prioritize finding the Steel Giant Dragon's control core.
The diary also recorded some accounts of Unspeakable Entities and Relics of the Old Gods.
These are deadly things, not even sure where the Beautiful Country gathered them from.
Ye Bai grew his knowledge from the diary, understanding more about the weaknesses of Unspeakable Entities.
"Lady Bat, I think with this diary, it's enough."
"Let's go!"
Just then, a giant crab covered in blades barged into the office.
The water level was rapidly increasing.
