Gu Li looked very calm, and when she asked the question, all three of them looked at her at the same time.

Eric had always disagreed with letting her go on an adventure alone, and he was the first to realize, "Miss, do you have someone you suspect?"

Cecil's branch bent into the shape of a question mark, muttering to himself, "Besides that group of people, would the Federation have any other advanced species?"

The one who answered her was Gu Li.

"Yes, there are. Aren't those so-called new humans who barely retained their sanity after being corrupted by Cecil's blood the ones who are examples?"

"Pshaw, what kind of superior species are they? I'd be beneath them!"

Lancer, who appeared out of nowhere, loudly scoffed, "He's just a coward who relies on Cecil's diluted blood to maintain his sanity. If he encounters another large-scale pollution event, he won't even need the pollution process; he'll just erupt and feast on his own kind!"

Gu Li stroked his chin and nodded silently. Although Lancer's words were somewhat biased, they were not without reason upon closer examination.

She recounted how she was dumped on the Death Plains after being contaminated, and how a small team even came specifically to destroy her.

Gu Li stretched out her hand, her slender, pale hand gradually lengthening under everyone's gaze, covered with fine, dense silver scales.

"But I was clearly corrupted by the king."

Cen Xingbang pondered quietly, tapping his knee with his finger. After a moment, he agreed with her words: "There is a reason for this. Most of those new humans have become physically stronger, but a small number of them are able to inherit the abilities of other species."

Lancer, dragging his dust-covered tentacles, danced behind Gu Li's sofa, scattering grime all over Gu Li's head: "Then it's even simpler, just kill that poisoning idiot."

Gu Li silently moved a little closer to Eric, dodging the falling debris above her head, feeling as if she were watching an evil force extend its claws towards the Federation.

The evil forces refer to herself.

The purpose of this trip changed from simply discussing business to something even more purely about seeking revenge.

Gu Li, resting his chin on his hand, asked Cen Xingbang, "I think I know about my situation. What exactly is this mysterious church? What did they do to offend... or commit any heinous acts?"

The deer-headed man looked at Lancer, who was covered in mud and sand, walking around his house with a carefree attitude, veins popping out on his forehead.

He slightly moved his hand on his knee, and the group of people who came in to freeload were divided into two groups, men and women, and thrown into two separate bathrooms.

"Remember to wash me properly, or I might as well roll down the drain."

Gu Li almost dropped the hand that was supporting her chin. The thing hidden among the crowd, with the upper body of an octopus and the lower body neatly dressed in suit pants, was it Levi?!

She used the hand that was supporting her chin to cover her mouth, concealing the wildly upturned corners of her mouth.

This feeling that the more serious you are, the more perverted you seem—who understands that!

Moreover, she felt that the pants looked somewhat familiar. Gu Li subconsciously glanced to the side and noticed that Eric's posture seemed a little stiff.

Ah, the case is solved.

The deer-headed man looked at Gu Li again, continuing without changing his expression, as if he wasn't the one who had just emptied the living room.

"To my shame, the Mysterious Church is one of our people. At the beginning of the construction of the alien city, we needed people to bring things in from outside, and we initially sent Sheri, who had the least pollution characteristics."

He gracefully picked up a cup of tea, and an invisible hand served tea to both her and Eric, even pouring Cecil's portion directly into a basin.

Gu Li withdrew her gaze and obediently listened, holding her teacup.

“We have a lot of people, but supplies here are too scarce. Sheri led people to establish a mysterious church over there, specifically to serve us and trade with the outside world using potions.”

"But people's ambition always grows blindly with ignorance. By the time I discovered that the mysterious church was using drugs for human experiments and selling large quantities of drugs to the Federation, and even the supply couldn't meet the demand, it was too late."

The deer-headed man's face was hidden behind the misty fog: "Last time on the business trip, we only destroyed the gathering point in the lower six districts. Going any further would be inconvenient given our identities."

Gu Li's grip on the teacup tightened. She glanced at Cecil, who was casually sipping his tea in the basin. She could guess with her toes what those people were planning to do next.

The mysterious church, whose appetite had long been inflated, was no longer the trading organization it had initially established for the city. Unexpectedly yet naturally, they stood on the opposite side of the alien city.

Those people possess too many secrets about the city of aliens. If they were to inadvertently reveal even a little information, it would absolutely bring annihilation to this place.

Eric's personal visit could only create a temporary shock, and he couldn't even bring back the necessary materials in time.

The mysterious cult may appear weak, but in reality, it is quite fearless.

Those people have been in human society for so many years, making huge profits with no initial investment. They've probably long forgotten how everyone escaped from the Federation and how they finally managed to settle down.

Gu Li silently gritted her teeth; she felt a slight itch in her claws.

This is her newly acquired territory, and everyone finally has something to look forward to.

Her face was grim, and she would absolutely not allow those people to have the opportunity to interfere here!

If those people don't repent and overstep their bounds, she wouldn't mind just cutting them off for them.

Gu Li stood up and nodded solemnly to Cen Xingbang: "I will make those people kneel down and repent!"

Eric seemed hesitant to speak, but he still got up and pulled her off Angell, gently admonishing her: "Don't always step on Angell."

Gu Li obediently walked down with a determined look on her face.

Cen Xingbang got up and walked towards the kitchen: "That's all I wanted to say today. If you really decide to go, I won't stop Wang from making any decisions."

Eric stood up, holding his cane, and looked down at Gu Li, handing her what he was holding.

Gu Li took the silver cane that he always carried in his hand in a daze. Unexpectedly, the cane had a slightly warm leather texture to the touch.

Eric looked at her: "This is a cane made from sheepskin from the hooves of a goat after the mutation. It can confuse the senses of others when needed, and resets every 24 hours."

"We hope you return safely."

That night, Gu Li was certain it was the liveliest night Cen Xingbang's house had ever been, since no one would dare to damage his bathroom again.

The next day, she waved to everyone on the shore, carrying a small leather suitcase in one hand and a silver cane in the other.

Goodbye, I'll bring back the gifts you asked for!

The people on the shore immediately waved even more enthusiastically.

Cecil's branches are waving wildly in the pot.

Long-legged Levi, holding Cecil, waved at her: "If it's inconvenient, just bring mine!! You absolutely have to get me some Little Cotton merchandise!!! This is my lifelong request!!!"
