The Star Shield Squad's main starship was enormous.
It was a full 200 kilometers long.
It rivaled one of Earth's megacities. Forget finding its core—even getting lost would take only minutes.
But—
Verifying whether Kelang had been telling the truth, whether there were scientists aboard, and whether they had a treatment for Split Personality—
That was simple.
Little Liu and the others only needed to follow the Giant Police transporting the "corpses."
Those interstellar police officers carried Kepler Residents on their shoulders, while Little Liu and the others followed closely through the ventilation ducts overhead.
At last—
After traveling more than ten kilometers—
They saw a massive, spacious laboratory.
The entire space covered nearly ten thousand square meters. Blue floors and blue lighting gave it a distinctly technological feel.
Nearly three thousand beds had been arranged across the floor, one after another.
Quite a few small creatures with light-gray skin, coarse hair growing over their bodies, and enormous eyes scurried back and forth among them.
They resembled goblins.
Yet they wore spotless white lab coats. Many also wore reading glasses, with pens and paper clipped to their chests.
Inside the ventilation duct—
Little Liu looked down and asked in confusion, "What are those little monsters?"
"They aren't little monsters."
A trace of respect flashed through Span's eyes. "They are members of the Kaban Civilization, a species with highly developed brains and an exceptional spirit of creativity and exploration. Among cosmic civilizations, they are known as Kaban Scientists, and their status is extremely prestigious. The research achievements of a single Kaban Scientist can raise the level of a low-level civilization in a short time. Once, a Kaban Scientist was kidnapped, and on the black market, one was worth two billion Origin Stones."
"Two billion?!"
Kun Sang froze, counting on his fingers.
