"Traitor! You will die a horrible death!!"
The sharp dagger cut open a captured young sea creature.
This sea creature's body does not have a large number of scales like the siren species, but instead only has a layer of soft skin.
He was hanging above the lava, and even though he was protected by a thin protective net, he was still burned red.
Only the remaining scale patterns on his back allow people familiar with the species to recognize him as a member of the barnacle species.
That's right, that barnacle-like sea beast was bred using his genes.
"ah--!"
The barnacle's body, stripped of its shell, was extremely fragile and sensitive, and the increasing pain drove him crazy.
But precisely because his body was fragile, the Third Institute spent a huge amount of money to install a life support device for him to keep him alive.
That's why he didn't die in pain and became one of the most energetic "materials" in this prison.
"Lowly seaweed! Sooner or later, you'll be abandoned!"
"I'm waiting for you to accompany me!!"
Amidst the barnacle species' numerous curses, Cheng Wenjie seemed to have heard something funny.
His calm expression changed, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"No need for you to worry about it." He swung the dagger in his hand, and the whole piece of flesh fell into the vessel. "The Barnacle Project Team is ready to submit the application for completion."
"You and your people will soon be discarded before me."
The barnacle species' curses stopped abruptly.
His expression showed a yearning for liberation for a moment, but then when he heard Cheng Wenjie mention his people, it turned into a distorted hatred.
The curses rang out again, but this time they were mixed with some begging for mercy.
"For the sake of my having promoted you, please spare my children..."
"For your sake."
Barnacle's words were interrupted.
Cheng Wenjie finished collecting the materials and wiped his bloody hands with a tissue. "I'll make sure you die a worthy death."
How can dying for the technological development of the sea people not be considered a worthy death?
Ignoring the barnacle species that began to struggle violently after hearing these words, and the life-support device that issued a sharp warning, he turned and left the prison.
There were still experiments to be done, and he had no time to waste on the curses of losers.
…
On the other side, in Chongming City.
The city is quieter before dawn than at other times.
But there are still many sea creatures with irregular schedules walking on the streets.
Therefore, most of the shops in Chongming City are open 24 hours a day.
A tavern somewhere in the city is now filled with sea creatures who love to drink some strong liquor.
They sat or stood in groups of three or four, their noisy chatter filling the small space.
Hua Yixuan, with her hair casually tied in a low ponytail and wearing a pair of thick black-framed glasses, waved open the door curtain of the tavern and walked in.
His completely restrained aura and somewhat messy hair made him seem insignificant.
Just like every ordinary sea dweller who comes to drink late at night.
"A mockingbird, thank you."
The bartender raised his eyes and glanced at the young man in front of him without leaving any trace.
Their eyes met, and the bartender gave a business-like smile.
"Okay, please wait."
Then, the bartender began to manipulate the cocktail bottle to dance smoothly and skillfully.
After a while, a goblet filled with emerald green wine was pushed in front of Hua Yixiuan.
Under the cup, there was a coaster with the pub logo on it.
Hua Yixiuan picked up the cocktail and drank it alone for a long time.
We then ordered other cocktails and some snacks.
After he finished his drink and paid the bill before leaving, he put the coaster and the change into his pocket.
After leaving the pub, he staggered back to his residence on the outer ring of Chongming City under the light of the street lights.
“Crack!”
After entering, closing the door and locking it, the slight drunkenness in Hua Yixuan's eyes disappeared.
He sensed the situation inside the house and confirmed that it was the same as when he left, with no signs of intrusion, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Yixuan took out the paper coaster, injected his own spiritual energy into it, and the tavern logo began to slowly change.
After a moment, a line of words took shape.
"Around eight o'clock in the morning, the eldest prince Yuan Rong will go to the No. 2 private room in Jianjia Pavilion for tea as usual. No other guests have been invited this time."
Hua Yixuan wrote down the content and increased the output of spiritual energy in his hand. The paper was instantly shredded and turned into dust that scattered in the sea.
"Private Room No. 2, Jianjia Pavilion."
If he wants to trade with the eldest prince alone, this is a good opportunity.
However, he did not trust the confidentiality of the private room in Jianjia Pavilion.
Therefore, instead of going to Jianjia Pavilion to chat, it is better to fight quickly and sneak into the Crown Prince's carriage in advance.
However, there might be personal servants inside the Crown Prince's carriage, and he had to make sure these guys fainted.
“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.”
The bell rang six times, and the current time was six o'clock in the morning.
He had less than two hours to prepare.
Hua Yixuan took off the plain glasses that were covering her face and put them away, and untied her messy low ponytail and tied it again.
He changed into a stealth suit, put on a hood that completely covered his head, and quietly left the residence again.
The slender black shadow dodged the glazed street lights and instantly blended into the darkness of Chongming City.
…
At seven-thirty in the morning, the eldest prince Yuanrong's car drove out of the gate of the prince's mansion.
Before leaving the mansion, the protective formation on the carriage had already been activated.
