He first took out something similar to a key ring, then he carefully examined it here. Despite the fact that it was covered in rust and parts of it had completely corroded away, he could still make out what seemed to be an emblem in the middle.

"Look, does this resemble a key?"

"Yes, it definitely is a key, and the object next to it should also be a key. However, this key seems to have been made of some faulty material, because after all these years, it has dissolved into liquid and you can hardly make out its original shape anymore."

"This ring too, and I remember very clearly, it feels like my dad used to have a key ring like this as well. He wore it on his belt at that time."

"Are you sure? And what did that key ring look like? Any emblems that you can recall now?"

"It's no use, too much time has passed, it's simply impossible for me to remember. Even if I did remember, it seems like it wouldn't be of much significance. Look at this, it's completely corroded, there wouldn't be any markings left."

"Try to recall again, I should have something that can deal with these corroded items. That emblem of yours could be very important for all this."

At this point, Lin Yaru just nodded, then I began to recall carefully here. She could vaguely imagine there being an emblem in the center of that key.

It was a triangle, yes, she remembered now, it should be a sailboat.

"I remember now, there was an emblem of a capsized boat on it."

"Are you sure it's a sailboat?"

"Absolutely. If it's not a capsized boat, it's still a boat. Anyway, it's definitely different from a regular key ring. I remember that very clearly."

After hearing this, Ye Chen just nodded, then showed the object to her for a glance. He found that the corrosion was indeed very severe, there seemed to be no point in trying to restore it.

"The corrosion is pretty severe, so I might not be able to do anything about it. Nevertheless, I think Anying should be capable."

"Does that mean, we can only get that object after we go back and have Anying look at it to figure out what's going on?"

"Right, besides that, there's that wallet-like object you just picked up. We can also have him try to restore it, to see what it really is."

"Well, all right then. Now, aside from this Marine Map, it seems like we don't have anything else to analyze."

"As for the map, we'll take it back with us and analyze it with Anying. Actually, I think on this matter, Anying is probably more capable than any of us. So, I believe as long as he helps out, this shouldn't be a big problem."

"Okay then, let's not waste any more time. Make a call to Anying to see if he can finish up there, and then rush over as soon as possible. That way, neither of us will waste too much time."

With that, Ye Chen nodded and took out his phone to dial Anying's number directly.

After just a few rings, Anying answered the call on the other side.

"Hello, what's up?"

"Anying, where are you right now?"

"Oh, I'm out and about, with Ada. We have some stuff to verify. What's up? Is there something you need?"

"Anying, I'm about to drive back now. The trip should take between two to three hours. Then, as soon as you can, wait for us back at the house, we need to discuss some important matters with you."

"Oh, two to three hours, right? Good, no problem. I've almost wrapped up things here, I'll head over immediately."

"Great. Wait there for us, and then we'll discuss the details once I arrive."

After finishing the conversation, Ye Chen hung up the phone.

And finally, the two of them embarked once again on their return journey.

Although they didn't carry much with them, Lin Yaru still had a vague feeling that these items should be very important to them.

Moreover, with these items in hand, she believed that they should serve a certain guiding role in the development of their subsequent affairs.

In the afternoon, they returned to the residence, then opened the door to find Anying already waiting for them in the living room.

"What's so urgent? Did you find some clues over there?"

"Yes, indeed we found some things, but we can't open them right now, so we thought of asking for your help."

"What things? Show them to me."

Upon hearing this, Anying seemed very excited. Urging them, he had them take out the items, and then, he laid all of his carried items on the table.

Anying simply picked them up, looked them over carefully, set them down again, picked up another, examined it again, and then placed it back.

"So, can you figure out a way to restore them?"

"Completely restoring them is pretty much impossible, but partially restoring some content shouldn't be too difficult. Wait here for a bit, I'll go upstairs to get some tools."

With those words, Anying stood up and headed to the second floor. After a while, he returned with a black box in hand.

Upon opening the box, Ye Chen could see that inside were indeed many bottles and jars filled with various things, although no one knew exactly what they were for.

Anying pulled out an instrument, then began pouring several Potions into it in a specific ratio. Finally, he placed the key-ring-like item into the solution.

Just after putting it in, bubbles immediately started to form, and then it constantly produced a trail of small bubbles.

"Can this really do all that? Is it really that miraculous?"
