Prying Loose

Because Giant Wood People resembled Imperial humans in appearance, whenever clone patrols from the base discovered them in the past, they would usually secretly capture some pretty ones for amusement, or sell them off-planet for extra income.

As the base supervisor, Wei He naturally knew about this. But Katri had instructed that the soldiers stationed here were already under enormous pressure, and life was dull. If they were not given some form of entertainment, they might eventually suppress themselves into illness.

So he could only turn a blind eye.

But things were different now.

If he could grasp High Spirit Energy from the person before him, perhaps he could make up for the final potential weakness in himself.

Wei He had always been worried.

If he truly completed the simulation of Fission Flesh—

Then if the chaotic will bred by Fission Flesh surpassed his current will and spirit energy in both quality and strength—

He might truly be overpowered by the guest and turned into the host.

This was a highly possible risk.

But if he also mastered High Spirit Energy, he could keep watch at all times for the deep invasion of the Star Abyss will.

Moreover, he could use his own High Spirit Energy to perfectly replace the High Spirit Energy within Fission Flesh.

That would lower the danger considerably.

Wei He looked at the fifteen people, activated his communication terminal, and notified the base to send someone over to clean up.

These natives could happen to serve as comparative test subjects.

Half an hour later.

Inside the research base, in a sealed interrogation room.

Wei He and Lexi sat facing one another alone.

"What is your name?" Wei He studied her with considerable interest.

Her eyes were a mysterious purple, crystalline and beautiful.

"Lexi."
