A0005 Experimental Subject
The eight Bikaku formed a fist and slammed it heavily towards Qing Wufei!
"Bang!"
Instantly, dust billowed up from the attacked area, and a sunken crater appeared.
Qing Wufei, relying on her keen sense of danger, turned around in time and barely managed to parry the attack.
"Snap!"
That's the sound of bones breaking.
Immediately afterwards, he felt a sharp pain in the bones of his hands that he had used to shield his head.
His talent [the Gift of Pain] caused his power to surge dramatically.
A trace of color began to return to her pale face, and a murderous excitement flashed instinctively in Qing Wufei's eyes.
The body absorbed Psychic Energy and forcibly mended the broken hand bones.
The bone throwing knife, concealed in Qing Wufei's sleeve, was poised to be launched.
However, before he could retaliate...
The next moment, Shisui extended its scorpion tail from mid-air, piercing his flesh and hooking his collarbone.
The potent toxin was injected, instantly immobilizing Qing Wufei's body in place.
With Shisui pull, Zi Sui brought down the prey, which weighed at least 70 kilograms.
The prey fell into the newly opened Space Wormhole and disappeared on the spot along with Shisui.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, only a sunken crater remained at the scene.
"You mean, there were a hundred or so people stationed nearby, and yet someone was arrested right under your noses?"
Jiang Ning's voice was calm, but it carried an undisguised anger.
Each word seemed to carry shards of ice, exploding coldly in the air.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with disappointment and anger at having to deal with another mess.
He stared intently at the guard captains in front of him, as if he wanted to tear them to pieces.
"Most importantly, not a single one of you is here," he took a deep breath to calm himself.
Not a single person saw the other person's face or physical features!
Jiang Ning took a step forward, his steps heavy and powerful, as if stepping on everyone's hearts.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force, and the coldness in his voice grew even stronger.
"Now! Immediately organize a search party!"
Jiang Ning stood before the depression in the ground, which seemed like a giant mockery.
It silently testifies that at least half of the Third Prince Faction consists of incompetent and useless individuals.
The air around him seemed to freeze because of his anger, making it hard to breathe.
The guards were intimidated by his imposing presence, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.
He simply nodded meekly to indicate that he obeyed, and then obsequiously went down to organize people to search all the surrounding areas.
Jiang Ning remained standing in the same spot, his emotions having been quickly composed.
Getting angry now won't help; it's better to think about who would specifically target Qing Wufei.
The fact that Qing Wufei was an experimental subject was known only to His Highness, him, and the overly perceptive White Owl within the Third Prince Faction, apart from the research institute.
If something goes wrong, it's highly likely that the news leaked from the White Owl's side.
Jiang Ning looked around, as if confirming something.
This place was not only one of the first settlements built by the Sea Race Ringwater Continent, but also a very important cargo port.
Although the number of capable men under the Third Prince Faction is limited, the number of soldiers stationed here is also limited.
However, the advantage lies in the fact that the quality is also up to standard.
As members of the prince's personal guard, Fifth Realm of the Profound Realm is standard.
Yet this so-called elite group couldn't stop the enemy, let alone even touch the hem of their clothes.
The only possible targets are those above Earth Realm.
Jiang Ning's mind raced as he tried to gauge the suspect's abilities.
The most urgent task is to find Qing Wufei.
Seeing that these useless people were of no use to him, Jiang Ning had no choice but to take out his communicator and contact someone who could be of use.
"White Owl, we have a job."
Let me see if you've switched sides again.
After capturing its previously escaped prey, Shisui stopped not far from the Ringwater Continent.
At this moment, a huge "egg" was hanging from his scorpion tail.
This is different from the biological cocoon he formed during his Metamorphosis; although it is also composed of Rc Cells, it is used to trap prey.
The moment he hovered above the sea surface, a large amount of Feather Powder was released from his wings.
A thick fog quickly enveloped the area.
With the space sealed off and everything inside isolated from the outside world, Shisui prepared to take action against Qing Wufei's memories.
[Spirit Dream Recall] was taken out again after a long absence, and then Shisui embedded into that huge "egg".
Rc Cells continuously devour the Psychic Energy of their internal prey and prevent its escape.
With the assistance of Rc Cells, [Spirit Dream Recall], having recovered from its injuries, can easily control the target's soul.
A moment later, [Spirit Dream Recall] completely detached from its temporary vessel and gradually squeezed into the depths of Qing Wufei's soul.
Shisui's Psychic Energy is linked to the essence of the talent [Spirit Dream Recall], constantly providing it with energy.
It also synchronously receives the memory fragments transmitted back from it.
Shisui touched Qing Wufei's soul through [Spirit Dream Recall].
Unlike normal skin, which is smooth and soft, it has irregularities and inlays.
Furthermore, the connection between Qing Wufei's soul and body relies entirely on the chain of talent.
Clearly, his soul had been extracted and subsequently subjected to extensive modifications.
The current physical body is not an original component, but rather something that was modified and installed later.
"A joint research project between the First and Second Research Institutes, project code A00, experimental subject code A0005..."
A large number of memory fragments that were floating in the soul were extracted.
First it went to the outermost edge, then gradually it went deeper into the soul.
The closer one gets to the core of the soul, the more fragmented and incomplete the contents become.
Once you cross some invisible "line," which is similar to a subconscious boundary, your memories become completely disconnected.
Later on, numerous scenes of dismemberment, stitching, further dismemberment, and further stitching filled the screen.
It completely obscured useful information, causing Qing Wufei's soul to fluctuate violently from its instincts.
Shisui knew that he could no longer extract any useful information, so he took the opportunity to control [Spirit Dream Recall] to return.
Even though this soul fluctuation was far less intense than the last time he was attacked from a distance, he still didn't want to take the risk.
After all, the talent they possess now is a rare and highly sought-after commodity.
Its irreplaceable nature has multiplied its already considerable value several times over.
In contrast, there are four other experimental subjects like Qing Wufei among the Sea Race.
It's just that he has the best potential and is less likely to die young, so he was sent out to collect "operational data".
Shisui gently brushed over Qing Wufei body, which still bore the scars from their previous battle.
In just a short while, the gash that had pierced his skin and hooked his collarbone had completely healed.
This is even under the condition that this physical body is nearing its limit.
Under normal circumstances, the wound would completely heal the moment he withdrew the scorpion's tail, leaving no scar.
This replaceable, top-tier physical body is the pride and joy of the Sea Race Second Research Institute.
Let's make a bold guess...
Is it possible that Lou Shisui's body was able to contain my soul because of them?
(Hey everyone, surprise!! I've arranged a close-up photo of Shisui! You can see the full-size image in the book section!!)
I can't include images in the main text, so I'm posting them in the paragraph comments as well!

Once I've saved up enough money, I'll arrange a full-body photo for the cover!!
I'm looking for free little gifts to give to my child as funds!
(You're shameless!)
