Space Powers Are Just Cheating!
Shisui's consciousness floated in the sea of memories extracted from the brains provided by the researchers using [Spirit Dream Recall].
He remained fixated on his memories of Guan Qing.
If it were just a warning, it wouldn't have left such a deep impression on Guan Qing that she would subconsciously retain the memory completely.
Looking at the other memory fragments beside her, there were many confidential documents from her recent projects, which were equally important.
However, very few of them appeared in video format.
This memory is one of them.
As Shisui pondered, the memory video continued to play.
In the video, Guan Qing's mentor nodded, indicating that she could go back and prepare for her overseas assignment.
"Then, the students will go back and prepare."
Guan Qing stood up from her seat, bowed respectfully, and then turned to leave.
As she walked towards the office door, the pocket of her lab coat moved slightly.
The lab coats, resembling white lab coats, are quite loose and stiff, and subtle movements won't cause them to change much in appearance.
However, by Shisui Guan Qing's memories from God's perspective, it is possible to understand some of Guan Qing's feelings.
Something light and airy seemed to have fallen into her pocket out of thin air.
Guan Qing neither paused nor turned around.
The item was given to her secretly, so there's no need to go back and ask; even if you did, you probably wouldn't find it.
She remained calm and composed as she walked out of the office, left the laboratory building, and went straight back to her dormitory room.
Click.
The door was locked from the inside, isolating the room from the outside world.
She didn't sit down to rest immediately, nor did she turn on the light by the door; instead, she went straight to the bedside.
Guan Qing turned on the bedside lamp. Zi Sui, Shisui his God's-eye view, knew that this was a shielding device engraved with the Guan Family's ancestral array.
That was one of the congratulatory gifts sent by the Guan Family and the main family after she was admitted to the Third Research Institute.
The bedside lamp was turned on, and she breathed a sigh of relief, then fell backward onto the soft blankets of the bed.
She didn't linger for long; she only relaxed for less than a second before her eyes returned to their usual rational state.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out something that had appeared out of nowhere.
It was a piece of paper, ordinary paper, the same kind used here at the base.
But upon seeing the contents of the paper, Guan Qing, who was lying down, instantly sat up, the paper crumpled from the sudden force of her fingers.
Through her eyes, Shisui could make out the line of small printed words.
" In the Mao City Battle, the tsunami started before the battle began; in the Yin City Battle, the opposite was true."
The moment Guan Qing finished reading the contents of the paper, the words and the writing on it vanished.
Holding the now-useless blank paper, Guan Qing fell into a moment of daze.
The Third Research Institute made a decision in advance between the Second Prince and the Third Prince.
As expected, he stood beside the First Research Institute.
Now, it's her turn to choose between the research institute and her family.
The outcome was obvious to Shisui, who had participated in both wars.
After much hesitation and internal struggle, she made up her mind.
She chose to go to graduate school.
After all, the promises her family made to her were far less than what she received for completing her own research project.
Shisui watched as the image gradually blurred and ended, then rewound back to the beginning.
The memory video has started playing again.
"It seems the Third Research Institute is only outwardly neutral."
Indeed, the three research institutes are all directly under the Dragon King and have many collaborations, so they are practically one family.
The fact that the First Research Institute took sides clearly demonstrates the attitude of the Dragon King behind them.
However, in order to maintain fairness and impartiality on the surface, and at the same time to prevent danger from closely monitoring the "pre-selected" prince, the decision was not made public.
"The Dragon King's heart belongs to the third son; the second son has been used as a target and bait."
The second prince has won over many officials, but he has already lost out in the competition.
Perfect, this gives [a chance to Survival in Desperate Situations] a chance to shine.
Offering help in times of need is always more appreciated than adding to someone's already good fortune, isn't it?
As dawn approached, Shisui finally emerged from the complex and vast sea of memories.
He carefully put away the brains and [Spirit Dream Recall], deciding to continue studying those formations when he had time.
Deep down, he had a feeling that this body was not just an experimental subject of the Second Research Institute.
Although the Second Research Institute mainly focuses on research related to the physical body.
However, this does not mean that the other two major research institutes were not involved.
As his thoughts raced, Shisui had already silently swum back to the temporary plaza in front of the research base.
The cargo fleet transporting prisoners anchored in the clearings that the seaweed forest had voluntarily cleared out.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang--"
The five o'clock bell rang, its sound distant but not loud.
That was coming from the clock tower at the center of the research base.
Upon closer inspection, this bell tower is exactly the same style as the one in front of the Dragon Palace, as if it were just scaled down by two rings.
In fact, the clock tower's time follows that of the great clock tower of Chongming City, which uses the Dragon Palace time.
The ringing of the bells signaled that sunrise was not far off.
Traveling underwater eliminates the worry of being exposed in broad daylight.
However, this fleet sailing in secret would probably instinctively not want to set off after sunrise.
Therefore, Shisui speculated that the fleet would set sail during the darkest time before sunrise.
Shisui easily pierced through space, stepped out of the base's gate, and arrived in front of the fleet.
Among this massive fleet, the most conspicuous and the one with the most engraved formations is the central flagship.
With a length of nearly 400 meters, the main ship is significantly larger than all the surrounding vessels.
In its inner circle were cargo ships with puppets arranged Shisui.
The materials inside are all of superior quality, selected by the Sea Race.
The outermost layer of cargo ships contains damaged and defective goods, the kind that are not a big deal even if they are damaged during transportation.
The outermost layer, which also contains the most ships.
Those surrounding them were all warships under the command of the Third Prince.
They were emitting a faint glow at the moment, and would surely be particularly eye-catching if they were on the dark seabed.
However, under the base's lights, this faint halo was not very noticeable.
The Ukaku Ghoul the Alternate Space gently fanned himself, and in the blink of an eye, he was outside the halo of light.
The Kakugan appeared, and a layer of Psychic Energy Shield materialized before Shisui's eyes.
Unlike the Human Race Psychic Energy Shield, which focuses on energy defense and neutralization.
The Sea Race's Psychic Energy Shields are more focused on isolating external Psychic Energy intrusions.
Therefore, while the Human Race's Psychic Energy Shield can block attacks, it can be invaded by Barnacle Sea Beast have adjusted their Psychic Energy fluctuations.
The Sea Race's Psychic Energy Shield passively intercepted the signal sent by Shisui Radiant Feathers inside.
Fortunately Radiant Feathers was well concealed, otherwise he might have been discovered by the Sea Race.
Although the Psychic Energy signal could not be transmitted, Shisui could not contact the internal anchor point.
However, the destination to be teleported to is within sight, and since short-distance Space Wormholes can be opened at Shisui, anchor points are not needed at all.
Just like when he crossed the base's archway not long ago, Shisui easily stepped over that Psychic Energy Shield.
All I can say is that space-based systems are cheating!
