Probing Memories

The ferocity and rapid proliferation of Rc Cells have always been well-known.

Especially after arriving on Ruolan Star, it absorbed Psychic Energy and underwent multiple evolutions, reaching almost the top of the food chain at the biological cellular level.

Sometimes, Shisui also wondered if his soul, which had transmigrated from another body, had altered the body he possessed.

Does this also mean that, in some sense, he is also half a Spirit Race?

As for why it was only half, it was because he had a feeling that once this body died, he would truly die as well.

Unlike the true Spirit Race, who can reshape their physical bodies as long as their souls survive.

Something is already deliberately restricting him.

This restricts the evolution of this alien species in a better direction, and limits its ability to gain more species advantages from its Metamorphosis.

Currently, he has no way of pinpointing what exactly is restricting him.

He had no clue.

Therefore, he could only suppress his doubts for the time being and focus on improving his strength and exploring this world.

Let's return to the topic of the Spirit Race.

Although Shisui cannot be fully considered Spirit Race, observing the research institutes of the true Spirit Race — the Dragon Spirit Species —can still yield a considerable amount of information.

Importantly, the arrangement of Rc Cells, the derived Kagune, and toxins enable them to control others covertly.

In this way, even if Shisui leaves and goes to the Second Research Institute with the cargo fleet, he can still monitor this base.

However, the prerequisite for remote monitoring is finding a way to circumvent the Sea Race' shielding.

Otherwise, the Rc Cells left here would have lost contact with the Radiant Feathers on the cargo ship as well.

In the Alternate Space, Shisui added another Koukaku of armor to the outer layer to completely isolate himself from the outside world.

Subsequently, some boxes composed of Koukaku emerged from other Alternate Space created by Shisui.

The purplish-red boxes opened all at once, revealing several well-preserved brains inside.

Within the atomized, pure Psychic Energy, they pulsated gently, clearly retaining basic activity.

However, consciousness must have long since dissipated.

These are the Sea Race that Zi Sui had previously Shisui and killed, the ones who had drawn the Water-Gathering Formation on the Kaiyang Continent.

Because the Radiant Feathers signal suddenly lost contact, it interrupted Shisui to probe their memories.

With plenty of time before the cargo fleet departed and plenty of free time around him, he naturally wanted to resume his exploration.

The [Spirit Dream Recall] nurtured within the Snow Spirit was taken out, and the lack of consciousness slowed down the cultivation speed of this talent's vessel.

Since he obtained the [Spirit Dream Recall], it has only barely reached the Fourth Realm of the Profound Realm.

Without the accumulation of more rare and precious materials, it's estimated that one won't be able to cross the minor threshold of the Fifth Realm of the Profound Realm.

Shisui looked at the palm-sized ball of light in his hand, thinking that at worst he could just use it to create a Flesh Crystals for [Spirit Dream Recall].

Since it's already using the Snow Spirit's body as a carrier, and the Snow Spirit's body is quite malleable, stacking Flesh Crystals is entirely feasible.

Shisui didn't think much of it and released the surging Psychic Energy of the Earth Realm in a gentle way.

Then, a stream was precisely controlled and drawn out from outside the body, connecting to the carrier of [Spirit Dream Recall].

In an instant, the gentle halo of light in the palm of his hand quickly became blindingly bright.

Those lights enveloped all the minds present, including Shisui himself.

The moment the light shone on him, Shisui felt a familiar presence wash over him.

The aura gently lured his consciousness, intending to draw him into the target's memories.

Shisui did not resist; his consciousness obediently sank into the target's memory.

The instant his consciousness left his body, Shisui realized that the familiar aura was clearly his own.

In the complex and chaotic sea of memories, fragments of the memories of several Sea Race are scattered in the darkness.

Only in front of the Shisui consciousness, [Spirit Dream Recall] emitted a warm and bright light, illuminating the seabed of memories.

The Shisui consciousness slowly opened its eyes after a moment.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a soft light; then, looking up into the distance, all that remains is boundless darkness.

I hadn't encountered such darkness when I examined the memories of other creatures before.

Shisui perceived the reason through [Spirit Dream Recall].

To prevent their memories from being spied on, these Sea Race gave themselves various hints.

The memory is obscured by that layer of "suggestion".

Fortunately, with the blessing of the Psychic Energy of the Shisui Earth Realm, [Spirit Dream Recall] can easily lift a corner of darkness.

The array formation methods that these researchers had "treasured" were all laid out before Shisui's eyes.

After watching for a while, suddenly, a fragment of sound memory flashed before Shisui's eyes.

Because these Sea Race are already dead, most of the memories here are in the form of pictures.

At that moment, a video suddenly flashed by, attracting considerable attention.

Those must have been very memorable, or even quite important, memories.

[Spirit Dream Recall] was manipulated to shine even brighter, the soft light directly bringing up that memory fragment.

The video in the memory fragment is still playing on repeat, from the first-person perspective of the memory's owner—the now-dead Sea Race researcher.

The location in the video is an office.

The office was spacious and bright, and looking out the window, one could clearly see the current research base for the application of Psychic Energy.

Shisui has been wandering around here for quite a while; he can't be mistaken.

Before the researcher stood an old man with gray hair; the gills on his neck indicated that the old man was also Sea Race.

The office was quiet at first. The old man sized up the researcher for a moment before speaking.

"Guan Qing, you've been studying with me for four or five years now, haven't you?"

It's an interrogative sentence, but it's phrased as Chen Shu.

Guan Qing stood before her mentor and respectfully replied, "Yes, it will be five years this September."

"Yes, your array drawing and operation skills are beyond doubt, and you've also achieved considerable results in innovative research. I'm very reassured."

After her mentor said that, Guan Qing understood.

Shisui was watching the memory fragments, could sense her inner thoughts and understood.

This is a veiled warning to this scion of a prominent family who shares the same surname as the former prime minister.

Subsequent actions should prioritize the interests of the research institute.

Guan Qing's expression remained unchanged. "Thank you for your affirmation, Professor."

She had barely finished speaking when the old man spoke again.

"It's best to let your family know you're safe during your rest time, and not while you're working, okay?"

His tone was gentle, like an elder offering guidance and advice to a promising junior.

But it sent a chill down Guan Qing's spine.

"Okay, mentor, I'll pay attention."

"Okay, go now," her tutor nodded in satisfaction, "Get ready to depart."

Shisui then noticed that this was the night before Guan Qing was to depart as an overseas researcher.

The next day, she went with the team to the Canglang Ocean area.

No wonder they gave me a warning.

Shisui understood immediately.

This dispatched team first arrived under the command of the Third Prince Yuanli, causing the tsunami in Mao City.

He then joined the Kaiyang Continent landing force of the Second Prince Yuan Yuan.

At that time, the Third Research Institute of the Sea Race had not yet officially taken sides.

Guan Qing, whose family belonged to the Second Prince Faction, was naturally warned by her mentor.

However, it's hard to say whether the Third Research Institute is currently biased.
