Infiltrating the Fleet (Minor Revision)

In the dense seagrass forest outside the research base, the power of the ocean currents seemed to be greatly weakened.

The current of the seawater thus slowed down.

However, you can still see the stems and leaves of the seaweed swaying gently with the flow of seawater.

The calming water flowed through the outer protective netting of the cargo fleet, passing through it almost without pause after a cursory screening.

Like a gentle breeze, it brushes against the metallic hull.

The seawater posed no danger, so it easily passed through the protective netting.

But the Ghouls that have now entered the protective netting are a different story.

It wasn't that he wasn't in danger; rather, the protective barrier failed to detect the danger before it was breached.

To be precise, the Psychic Energy Shield didn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

The Space Wormhole connects the seawater inside and outside the protective net. With a flash, Shisui arrived inside the protective net.

Spatial properties are far too powerful; no race can master them, let alone use them skillfully.

Even if some exceptional geniuses, one in a million, are fortunate enough to acquire a talent related to Spatial Energy.

Before they can fully grow into "towering trees," they will either perish due to the violence of Spatial Energy or be firmly controlled by the high-ranking members of various races.

Therefore, the leaders of each ethnic group are also habitually convinced that no "retail investor" can manipulate Spatial Energy at will.

How can this not be considered a tacit understanding?

Moreover, these protective nets, in theory, also stabilize Psychic Energy within a certain range, indirectly making the surrounding space more stable.

In a sense, it is also a precaution against spatial systems.

However, Shisui's control over Spatial Energy is far superior to this half-baked preventative measures.

Rc Cells, capable of tearing energy from Spatial Turbulence to fuel their own evolution, possess a fierce adaptability to accommodate Spatial Energy.

These enable Shisui to effectively receive, transform, and utilize Spatial Energy.

This allows them to use Spatial Energy to create Wormholes, bypassing protective nets without being detected.

The Sea Race's prized Psychic Energy Shield was useless; the Predator easily swam to the vicinity of the main ship.

Just as Shisui approached the main ship, his keen hearing picked up the faint sounds of conversation.

"This batch of materials should last us a while, thank you."

"You're too kind. We're all on the same side; they're just some corpses."

Shisui moved closer to the source of the sound, "Besides, I'm just passing on what I've learned."

As he got closer, he could hear it more clearly.

Besides the conversation between the two Sea Race, there were also the sounds of soldiers' footsteps and objects colliding.

They must be unloading cargo.

"Well, luckily you guys passed by and brought some materials over, otherwise we wouldn't be able to verify the data that just arrived."

"Speaking of which, how's that batch of data? Is it usable?"

"Yes, both sets of data are very good, and the Water-Gathering Formation can be further improved."

"It's such a pity about those researchers..."

The sounds gradually faded, indicating that the two Sea Race had likely entered the cabin.

Shisui swam a little further and, from a concealed angle, saw squads of soldiers unloading cargo.

A faint smell of blood emanated from those cargo boxes, which Shisui Sui's keen senses detected.

Those goods were most likely prisoners who died during transport.

Based on their differential treatment of prisoners, the experimental subjects required for the Second Research Institute should be healthy, living people.

Therefore, these dead prisoners were merely a loss for the Second Research Institute.

Keeping them is pointless; they'll only take up space and increase transportation risks.

However, for the Third Research Institute, the life or death of the materials they needed was irrelevant.

That's why the cargo fleet made a special detour to stop here for a while.

The two Sea Race entered the cabin and came out again shortly afterward.

They were all wearing stiff white robes, similar to lab coats, but with a more elaborate design.

Having reviewed the researcher's memories, Shisui knew that it was also a type of laboratory suit used for outdoor activities.

The two Sea Race parted ways at the edge of the Psychic Energy Shield. One of Sea Race watched the other go some distance before returning to the cabin.

After that, only the soldiers carrying goods remained in the open space.

Seeing that there was nothing else to see, Shisui Ukaku n't linger any longer. With a flick of his wrist, another Space Wormhole opened and closed.

The protective array engraved on the ship's hull was also useless, Shisui entered the main ship's cabin.

Now, all that remains is for the fleet to set sail again.

Our gaze shifts to Chongming City.

At this moment, inside the former Chancellor's Residence, Guan Xiangming sat in his study.

The interior and decor of this study, like those of other high-ranking officials and nobles, featured enamelware, goldware, and antique murals—luxurious in an ordinary way.

Only the family crests painted on the walls showed something different about them.

These intricate patterns now emit a faint glow formed by the flow of Psychic Energy.

Clearly, these are formations passed down through generations of the Guan Family, which have now isolated the study from the outside world.

Guan Baozhu sat quietly and obediently in the patriarch's study, a place she rarely visited, awaiting his orders.

"Okay, that's fine."

Seeing that the formation was functioning normally, Guan Xiangming signaled to his daughter that she could speak.

Guan Baozhu nodded and gave a brief, clear report.

"Master, the Second Prince needs to contact the Second Research Institute to reconstruct his physical body."

Guan Xiangming was not surprised by this.

This was an expected development.

He simply stated calmly, "I will have someone introduce you to the Second Research Institute."

Guan Baozhu was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly turned pale.

"You... you're not going to intervene, are you, Father?"

Guan Xiangming looked at her, his eyes filled with obvious regret and guilt, but his tone remained calm and undisturbed.

"Baozhu, you are the Second Prince's consort, it is only reasonable for you to do this."

Guan Baozhu lowered her eyes, concealing her sadness and fear. When she opened them again, she had transformed back into the composed and dignified Second Prince's Consort, Guan Shi.

"I understand, Master."

The second prince was in decline, Guan Family could not put all his eggs in one basket.

However, they had no intention of offending the prince, whose defeat was not yet confirmed.

Therefore, the only way to help her was indirectly, as she was already firmly tied to the Second Prince Faction's faction.

The conversation ended quickly, and the study's magic array, activated with a large amount of precious resources, was shut down.

Guan Baozhu came and went in a hurry.

They boarded an ordinary carriage without any coat of arms and left through the Guan Family's back door.

The carriage she was in did not return directly to the Dragon Palace, but instead took a long detour.

They also deliberately exposed some shops frequented by wealthy women to the light of glass streetlights.

After a while, they slowly returned to the Dragon Palace.
