Chapter 334: First Peek into the Future
"Could this group of people be pawns of the Meditation Research Institute?" This guess emerged in Li Yu's mind.
According to Carol and others, Iris has been in the Lant Hub for nearly ten years and does not seem like a spy sent out by Meditation.
However, speculation is always speculation. Li Yu directly controlled Iris, and her head did not explode, and neither did any of his subordinates.
Li Yu then made many inquiries and finally confirmed that Iris had nothing to do with meditation at all, and that there was no one under her command who had any connection with meditation.
Then an interesting thing happened. This group of people had nothing to do with meditation, but there was a meditation backdoor program in the spacecraft.
"Xiao Nao Nao, how long ago was this backdoor implanted?" Li Yu asked.
"The implantation should have been eight days ago."
"Eight days ago..." Li Yu looked at the stunned Iris: "What happened to you eight days ago?"
"We were sailing normally in the ancient waterway and did not encounter any abnormal situations." Iris answered like a puppet.
"Nothing unusual happened?" Li Yu looked at Iris carefully and suddenly said, "Recount what happened in the past 24 hours."
However, after asking this question, Iris, who usually answered every question, seemed to be stuck. Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out.
With the power of [Seed of Gu Sound], it is impossible for Iris to hide anything, and the current situation is obviously a little special.
"Something's not right, Hun Zhentian, go and take a look at her spiritual consciousness." Li Yu rubbed his chin and ordered.
"Yes, Lord God!"
After receiving the order, Hun Zhentian immediately flowed into Iris's spiritual body. Not long after, Hun Zhentian's voice came out of Iris's mouth.
"Lord God, this life form has been tampered with. It seems that a part of her spirit body has been cut off."
"Has a part been cut off?" Li Yu became interested. It was most likely Ming Si's doing. He immediately ordered, "Go and see if other people have also had parts of their bodies cut off."
Hun Zhentian moved very quickly, shuttling quickly among Iris's men, causing Anthony and the others to tremble in fear.
Soon, Hun Zhentian found out the details: "Your guess is correct. Parts of the spiritual bodies of other crew members were also cut off."
Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Iris and her group were unfortunately captured by Meditation, but it was obvious that he did not kill them.
They just wiped their memories, implanted a backdoor program in the spacecraft, and then let them go.
What makes Li Yu curious is, what is the purpose of meditation?
Let these scavengers in the ancient waterway act as spies? If so, it is indeed a good idea.
Although Carol, Iris and others are not very strong, they have survived in the ancient waterway for so many years and have their own unique way of survival.
With subprograms implanted in their spacecraft, these scavengers become tentacles extending from meditation.
"Xiao Nao Nao, can you trace back the specific location where the information was received?" Li Yu asked.
"I'm sorry, master. It seems that the other party has done special anti-tracking measures. I can't track him for the time being." Xiao Chaonao's tone was full of apology.
Li Yu was not disappointed. After all, it was a large research institute and would definitely try its best to avoid being tracked back.
Iris's eyes gradually became clearer, and she broke free from the control. In a trance, she felt as if something had changed.
She looked around cautiously, and inexplicably felt that the environment had changed. Wasn't the old snake lowering its head before? When did it suddenly raise its head?
How did Carol get to the porthole? Can he teleport?
Iris had many doubts in her mind, but now she could only keep them in her heart and wait for the masked man to decide their fate.
…
Somewhere in the Ancient Channel, a large number of black warships were quietly suspended in the starry sky. In the command room of the main ship, the meditating commander looked up at the huge holographic screen.
The screen was divided into hundreds of small pieces, some images were very blurry, some were extremely clear, and some were directly black.
What is shown above are scenes from various places in the Ancient Waterway, which are fed back through subroutines implanted in the scavenger spacecraft.
Those scavengers who are not very strong have strong survival ability in the ancient waterways.
Not long ago, when they first arrived at the Ancient Channel, a scavenger ship actually used the psychic tide to escape their pursuit and even destroyed two warships.
Although it made him extremely angry, it also gave him inspiration. These scavengers wandering in the ancient waterways were natural spies.
So they then captured large groups of scavengers, wiped their memories, implanted backdoors in their programs, and then released them.
As he expected, those released scavengers became their tentacles, allowing them to know every abnormality of this ancient waterway.
However, the scavenger ship that escaped at the beginning has already learned of their existence, which may be a hidden danger.
He frowned slightly, but felt that he might be too worried. It was just a scavenger ship. What would it matter even if they knew of their existence?
"An abnormal situation has been discovered." Someone reported quickly, and a scene on the holographic screen quickly zoomed in. What was shown on it was the scene of Li Yu fighting the star whale.
"Sir, that creature is called a star whale. According to its length, it should be an A-level life form."
"Another A-level life form..." The leader stared at the battle scene.
"This spaceship has lost its signal and should have been destroyed." The subordinate immediately reported, but the leader did not take it seriously:
"Just file it. Finding the trace of the Heart of Titan is the most urgent task now. What's the situation of the two A-level life forms on Guixing?" he asked.
"Report, a group of Wastelanders encountered them a day ago and have been eliminated. They are now located near the Malygos Dragon Bone."
"According to the images sent back, they seem to have a few more people."
The leader nodded, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "It should be their support that has arrived. In that case, let's go and welcome them."
"Li Yu is from Guixing, but we can't arrest him for now, so let's collect some interest from Guixing first!"
…
No matter what method is used, as long as she can survive, this is what Iris thought in her heart.
So she tried her best to show herself in front of Li Yu, trying to use her beauty to win the opportunity to buy him.
"My lord, my room is at the very back. The materials used in it are extremely precious. You can have a good rest in there."
"Shameless woman." Olena cursed inwardly in the channel, gnashing her teeth in anger, "Does she really think that the Lord would like her?"
Stanley glanced at her and shook his head, but said nothing.
To them, there is nothing shameful in doing whatever it takes to survive.
Even Anthony felt a little pity, because he was a male snake man and could not use this method.
"Iris, come here..." Li Yu was thinking about how to find the meditating fleet, and suddenly thought of the new talent he had obtained before.
I still don't know what's going on, so I'm going to use it to test it out.
"Yes, my lord..." A look of joy appeared on Iris's face. Thinking that her method had worked, she walked towards Li Yu with her slender long legs.
Although there are a lot of people here, as long as I can survive, who cares?
She walked in front of Li Yu and waited for him to take further action.
Li Yu raised his hand and stopped two or three centimeters away from Iris's body under her expectant gaze.
Then, a powerful invisible force enveloped her, causing her to tremble uncontrollably. Under this power, she felt that she might be shattered to pieces at any time.
Li Yu activated his new talent, and then the Force that enveloped Iris merged into Li Yu's difficult-to-predict dimension like a flood.
The familiar feeling of perspective stretching, but this time it is slightly different from before.
His perspective seemed to have entered a crack in time and space, and the colorful scenes around him made him feel a little bloated and painful.
The Force pulled him forward, trying to break through the barriers of time and space, just like a fat person trying to pass through a narrow passage, which was extremely difficult.
He could feel the consumption of the Force being extremely great, and just a few seconds was enough to make him feel a little overwhelmed.
The possibilities for the future are endless, and every choice made in the present will affect the future.
Peeping into the future is not about changing it, because the future is changing all the time.
Instead, we want to obtain limited information from it and focus on the present.
If you want to peek into the future, the price you pay is huge.
As if passing through a layer of water film, Li Yu's perspective suddenly became brighter. This was a desolate star field, surrounded by black warship wreckage.
Iris's body floated in the starry sky, covered with wounds and missing many limbs. Her spaceship collapsed not far away.
This was a war, and according to Carol's description, those black warship wreckages should belong to the Meditation Fleet.
Who is the enemy? Is it me?
Li Yu looked around, but perhaps because of the influence of time and space, he could not see the scenes too far away, and everything was blurry.
According to normal logic, they took Iris's spaceship to find the Meditation Fleet and then started a war.
After the battle, this should be the scene that appears before him.
But why did Iris die here?
Given his character, he would never rashly charge with Iris's spaceship. He would definitely let them hide in the dark.
He wanted to see farther, but he was just like an ordinary person carrying a mountain on his back.
Every step towards staying away from Iris comes at a huge cost.
"That is..." Li Yu was slightly shocked. He actually saw Stanley's body, which was even more miserable than Ellis's His eyes were glaring, and there was not a single intact part on his body.
Stanley is dead too! ?
Unlike Elise, Li Yu would never sit idly by and watch Stanley die unless it was a desperate situation.
Even Stanley died in this battle, which was enough to show that the situation had reached its worst point.
A feeling of dizziness came over him, enveloping his Force, and almost consuming all of it.
At the same time, his vision became increasingly blurred, as if he had been dragged from the sky to the ground, and the gorgeous pictures of time and space filled his sea of consciousness.
The vision gradually became clear, and he returned to Iris's spaceship. The weakness caused by the exhaustion of his mental strength made him dazed for a while, and his stomach was churning and he even wanted to vomit.
He is now an A-level life form, and the fact that he can have such a reaction is enough to prove the difficulty of traveling through time and space dimensions.
However, what Li Yu didn't know was that if the astrologers knew that the backlash from his travel through time and space was only retching and dizziness, they would probably be shocked beyond imagination.
No one could see Li Yu's reaction under the mask, only Hun Zhentian could feel Li Yu's suddenly dissipated mental power.
Unfortunately, he is now Li Yu's subordinate god, with Li Yu's divine mark engraved in his spiritual core. His life and death are in Li Yu's hands.
Is the Meditation Fleet so powerful? Or is there some other variable...
Li Yu's face was gloomy. According to his original idea, he wanted to find the meditation fleet and observe quietly.
If the opponent's strength is within his expected range, he will directly use [Apostle] to defeat the opponent.
Then find the key to the ring from the Meditation Fleet.
But the information he obtained from peeking into the future this time made him a little wary.
Logically speaking, if Mingxiang's fleet's strength was beyond his imagination, he would definitely not take action.
In other words, if a fight breaks out, he believes he will have the upper hand.
But in the future he saw, Stanley was killed and it was a desperate situation.
Either there were variables, or the Meditation Fleet was hidden too deeply and deceived him.
Although this is only one possible future among the infinite futures, the information obtained from it is enough to warn Li Yu.
"Sir?" Iris asked timidly, not knowing what was going on.
"Go down, it's okay." Li Yu's tone was calm, without any sense of weakness in his voice.
Iris didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to resist, so she could only leave obediently.
"Sir, shall we continue along the original route?" Anthony asked.
"No..." Li Yu shook his head: "Let's stop here for a while."
"Yes..." No one dared to question Li Yu's decision, and no one dared to ask why.
It seemed that I had looked down upon the Meditation Fleet before . After all, it was a large research institute and its strength was there.
Even if you have the [Apostle] as a trump card, you can't just take the opponent as a piece of cake, Li Yu reflected on his own mentality.
Li Yu rubbed his temples. His mental strength was slowly recovering and he didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.
After pondering for a moment, he took out the whale core cut from the star whale, which instantly attracted the attention of Anthony, Carol, and Iris.
For scavengers like them, it would be great if they could obtain a whale core like this.
Basically, you can say goodbye to this wandering scavenger's identity, go to the Star Empire to buy a citizenship, and then live a leisurely retirement life.
