Chapter 72 Seventy-two Nights
They didn't want the throne in the first place, so my father was forced to take it.
It was rare to see Yun Wanwan looking guilty. After the initial shock, Wu Yan calmed down and watched with great interest.
Even had new ideas.
"Miss Yun only targeted the abyss of Lord Morris's sea of consciousness. So, you don't have any thoughts on the rift in His Royal Highness's sea of consciousness?"
Yun Wanwan looked up at Wu Yan and said seriously, "Actually, I have some thoughts about your sea of consciousness as well."
Wu Yan: ???
Although alien species require sufficient pollution to activate, looking at the alien seeds in the abyss of Mr. Morris's sea of consciousness, they are in a dormant state without sufficient pollution and cannot be detected by the outside world.
No one could explain how the alien seed appeared in the sea of consciousness. After all, before Yun Wanwan, no one knew that this thing could exist in the sea of consciousness, ready to go.
Although there hasn't been a large-scale alien invasion in the past twenty years, a few isolated aliens still appear from time to time. They don't pose a big threat, but they are quite annoying.
The armies of the Empire and the Federation have been patrolling everywhere, fighting these alien species.
For space pirates like Wu Yan who travel around everywhere, the chance of encountering alien species is not small, and they will deliberately hunt alien species. As alien species are energy aggregates, they are still quite valuable.
Wu Yan is also someone who has had close contact with alien species, and is also within Yun Wanwan's suspicion.
Wu Yan, understanding Yun Wanwan's meaning, was speechless. "Go ahead and check it out. It's not like we haven't checked it before anyway!"
Yun Wanwan had thoroughly checked the sea of consciousness of all of them, so why should he struggle?
And if it is really as Yun Wanwan guessed, then the impact that will come in the future will definitely not be understood by common sense.
After Yun Wanwan finished examining Wu Yan's sea of consciousness, she looked a little regretful: "You're so lucky."
Wu Yan: "But thank you."
She thought she could see something from Wu Yan's sea of consciousness and accumulate experience by looking at more cases.
Just as I was thinking about it, Kane showed up at the door.
Wu Yan felt that he had never been so happy to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as he was today. "Hey, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here! Wanwan was looking for you!"
After the anomaly on the main star ended, Kaien met Yun Wanwan briefly and then sent her back to Wanxing. Shi Kaien felt as if he hadn't seen Yun Wanwan for a long time. He was a little excited at first, but when he heard Wu Yan's words, he suddenly calmed down.
Expressionless.
"Oh, His Royal Highness is quite scary when he doesn't smile."
But who was he trying to scare? He wasn't one to be scared.
Shi Kaien quickly regained his smile and looked at Wu Yan meaningfully, "Your Excellency Wu Yan hasn't received the news yet? Oh, indeed, communications in the Y4162 star field have been greatly affected recently. It seems normal that Your Excellency Wu Yan hasn't received any news."
"What news?"
Shi Kaien's tone of voice was not right, which made Wu Yan suddenly worried.
"A strange rift suddenly appeared on the Dark Star. Such a big thing, yet Your Excellency Wu Yan didn't even know about it?"
Shi Kane's expression was very clear: it was interesting that Wu Yan, the Dark Star Emperor, didn't know about this matter even though the Empire knew it.
"It seems that His Excellency Wu Yan's control over the Dark Star is not very good either."
"Stop being sarcastic." Wu Yan was too lazy to pay attention to Shi Kane, but he also knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not joke about such things.
He just tilted his head to glance at Morris.
Morris nodded. "Go ahead. You don't have to worry about me. Given my current situation, Wanwan probably won't let me leave either."
After all, there are still alien cracks in his sea of consciousness. If he runs away now, who can he turn to if something unexpected happens?
Yun Wanwan smiled and said, "I have nothing to worry about. It really doesn't matter."
"Wanwan, I'll be sad if you say that. Didn't you say I need follow-up treatment? Are you just sending me away like that?"
"Mr. Morris, the way you speak is actually... quite strange."
After watching Wu Yan leave, Yun Wanwan explained to Shi Kaien that checking the sea of consciousness was urgent.
Although Shi Kane's sea of consciousness was injured, it had nothing to do with the alien species.
But Yun Wanwan was not surprised at all by the results of the examination.
"There are also alien species in my sea of consciousness?"
Yun Wanwan nodded.
Moreover, the alien species in Kane's sea of consciousness is somewhat different from Morris's situation.
"Perhaps it's because you accepted my treatment from the beginning. Your condition is not as serious as Mr. Morris's, but it is more complicated."
"complex?"
"How should I put it? It feels like the alien species in your sea of consciousness and the alien species in Mr. Morris's sea of consciousness are not the same species."
Yun Wanwan had not seen any other species and was not sure what the difference was between them.
But the one in Kane's sea of consciousness had obvious signs of human intervention, and she was very familiar with this method.
"Your Highness, you've had two accidents in a row, both of which were man-made. It's been so long, have you found anything in the investigation?"
Yun Wanwan remembered that after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in danger for the second time, Anlock left the Y4162 star field and devoted himself to investigating the matter. He had been gone for a long time, but no news had been received.
If she hadn't suddenly mentioned this, she would have almost forgotten about this person. After all, he was the first person she had ever encountered with spiritual energy revival!
A trace of confusion flashed across Kane's brows, as if he had something to say.
"Your Highness is also worried?" Yun Wanwan laughed. "As far as I know, Your Highness is the only legitimate member of the royal family now. The other crowned princes and princesses are just collateral bloodlines and cannot threaten your position at all. However, precisely because Your Majesty only has one son, Your Highness, it is not ruled out that someone wants to get rid of you and give the royal family a new look."
Kane's popularity among the people was extremely high, his prestige even higher than that of the current Emperor. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would undoubtedly be the next heir to the throne. If someone truly intended to do something, destroying the Crown Prince would be equivalent to destroying this branch of the royal family's lineage. This was understandable.
Yun Wanwan didn't know much about the royal family, so it wasn't surprising that she would have such speculation.
Shi Kane shook his head: "It can't be them."
"oh?"
"They didn't want the throne back then, so my father was forced to take it."
Does the royal family of the Fiklan Empire actually have such a tradition?
"To be precise, it was my father who lost the competition and was unfortunately pushed onto the throne. In my generation, I am the only heir, so I don't have that kind of worry anymore. I don't even have the possibility of resisting. As for them, if they really want the throne, both my father and I would be happy to offer it to them."
“Puff.”
Unfortunately, no one wants it.
The members of the royal family of the Fiklan Empire are all very smart and have a thorough understanding of the royal family. Since there are people in their positions who are doing the job and shouldering the heavy responsibilities, as members of the imperial royal family, they only need to enjoy their lives.
Who wants to work themselves to death every day?
Yun Wanwan thought this was a good realization, "They are all quite aware."
"So it couldn't be them."
Yun Wanwan nodded. "It's not wrong to think so. But have you ever thought that people who do such things are just pretending to be them?"
The smile on Shi Kaien's face disappeared immediately: "What do you mean?"
"Literally." Yun Wanwan looked at the former federal marshal, who was leisurely examining the few mutant plant baby light balls not yet emerged. "Mr. Morris's sea of consciousness has been invaded by alien species for twenty years. If it weren't for his strong will and powerful strength, and the unfathomable depth of his sea of consciousness, his consciousness would have been devoured long ago."
In fact, even Morris himself now can't tell whether he is still the original Morris.
However, since the alien has been removed, as long as the remaining consciousness determines that he is still Morris, then he is Morris.
Yun Wanwan's meaning was very clear. If the alien species had been invading the human consciousness in this way a long time ago, not everyone would have the strength of Sir Morris, who could persist for more than 20 years and maintain his own identity without being devoured by the alien species.
It was natural that the others, having devoured him with alien thoughts and intentions, wanted to murder Kane.
By invading the universe in this way, it would only take a word to ignite the pollution and open alien rifts.
The alien species in Shi Kane's sea of consciousness is the best proof.
His Royal Highness was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "To achieve this level, it would require the combined efforts of the royal family, the military, and the Imperial Capital Research Institute."
As for the Council of Elders, it does not have such great power.
Yun Wanwan smiled, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so serious. The matter has been exposed so early, and I'm sure the other party doesn't have a solution for the time being."
Feeling the feedback from the alien rift, Yun Wanwan's smile became even wider.
"Next, I would like to trouble His Royal Highness to arrange a few more people so that I can examine and verify the data of the alien species in the sea of consciousness. Then, I can add it to the diagnosis and treatment cabin and conduct a general survey of the entire population. This will make it so that the alien species in the sea of consciousness will have nowhere to hide."
Shi Kaien did not doubt Yun Wanwan's words. He believed that since Yun Wanwan said it, she would definitely be able to do it.
"Then let's start with the Dandelion Legion."
The Dandelion Legion is directly under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In addition to ensuring the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the defense of the central star of the imperial capital, they also often follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to travel around various star regions and fight against alien species.
And precisely because the Dandelion Legion has a close relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if those people want to take action, they will definitely not let the people from the Dandelion Legion go.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. She won't let anyone else know until you come up with a solution."
"Oh, I can't guarantee anything about Mr. Morris and Wu Yan who already know."
Shi Kane: "..."
Sir Morris knows the priorities of things. If this kind of thing is not a small probability, it is definitely a huge crisis that all mankind will face.
It wasn't just an overt alien invasion, but there were also alien species that could inhabit the human consciousness, eroding human awareness and ultimately replacing humans. When news of this spread, Kane felt that the royal family's crisis public relations efforts would definitely not be enough.
But Wu Yan was different. He looked okay normally, but if he really went crazy and didn't care about anything, he wouldn't even care if the universe exploded. If he couldn't be controlled, he might drag everyone down with him once he went crazy.
At this time, Kane just felt a headache.
"Just an inspection? What if the inspection reveals someone with a different species in their sea of consciousness?"
Not everyone can be sent to Yun Wanwan for treatment.
If the number of people found was truly enormous, Yun Wanwan wouldn't be able to handle it alone. And what excuse could be used to get those who didn't even know they were being parasitized to receive treatment?
"Well, then, I'll probably have to make a cameo appearance."
