"It's not necessarily that we didn't notice," Han Zhuo suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him. "When we were on Desert Planet 0238, on the night of the Spring Festival, everyone felt an indescribable sense of oppression. My head of the family reported it to Ye Min at the time, but you ignored it."

That night, the top brass of the Fourth Military Region were all busy discussing how to enter the underground cavity of Moya Star, and no one noticed a strange feeling of oppression.

"Are those them?" Ye Min frowned.

"Even you just feel depressed?" Duan Tianya was also surprised.

That means they can not only become invisible, but also suppress their own presence, or perhaps at that time those primitive humans had transformed themselves into some strange things that were no longer living beings or even normal matter. What kind of technology is that? Even the most powerful scientific researchers in the Interstellar Empire cannot imagine it.

Han Zhuo nodded. In fact, the feeling of oppression was not particularly strong.

"At least we've found them now," Wu Xinghai said. "With such a large-scale relocation, they're bound to be greatly impacted. They won't cause trouble again in the short term, and we'll have some breathing space."

Everyone nodded in unison. It was better to have time to understand your opponent than not to have time at all.

"It's a pity that we only found the mermaid's body. It would be better if we could find a living one."

"Only corpses?" Han Zhuo was surprised.

"Yeah," Ye Min nodded, "It's strange. The Mermaid Palace wasn't affected at all, but those mermaids still died very... tragically."

"Speaking of that mermaid," Wu Xinghai said halfway, looking at Han Zhuo, "I still think he's too dangerous to keep."

Han Zhuo's expression changed. Without giving others time to comment, he checked the communicator and said, "My master has woken up. Please ask her to come over."

When Song Yu came to the conference room, her head still hurt and her injuries had not healed much. She learned that Wu Lingjiu had woken up after coming out of the medical cabin, but was detained by the Fourth Military Region.

Jiang Yan and Tang Zhishu also came with her.

"Sergeant Major, are you going to go back on your word for the second time?" So Song Yu didn't want to play along with these people. She stared at Wu Xinghai without any fear.

"This isn't a backtracking on my words; it's a consideration for the entire interstellar empire." Wu Xinghai displayed a face of enduring humiliation. "If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do."

"Don't flatter yourself. For the sake of the entire interstellar empire, you shouldn't have trusted a merman at the most critical moment, used him to explore the underground cavity, and then killed him. Is this how the Fourth Military District operates?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people from the Fourth Military Region present all looked unhappy.

Song Yu sneered. She found that after she had 001's memories, her words became much more poisonous than before.

Tapping a storage device in her hand, she said, "At the Desert Star Base, he's helped us countless times, saved countless lives. It's all recorded here. Add to that the previous times, and this time when he nearly saved us at the cost of his own life while exploring the underground cavity. Isn't that enough? Have all of you here, and those outside, really done as much as he has?"

Several sergeants of the Fourth Military Region lowered their heads. In fact, it cannot be said that they did less than Wu Lingjiu, but Wu Lingjiu was indeed the biggest contributor in discovering the underground cavity before the general attack.

In particular, when the underground cavity was about to be destroyed, if he only rescued Song Yu and ignored others, or even ignored Song Yu, he would have fled to the ends of the earth long ago, and would not have to be at the mercy of humans in his dying state. However, he still took the risk to rescue everyone, including several scientific researchers.

Could it be that after saying he was a mermaid, all the consequences could be dismissed and he could be killed with a single blow? The Interstellar Empire was a society ruled by law; that was not the way to go.

Tang Zhishu gently held Song Yu's hand and found that her hand was very cold. At this time, he was the only one who knew the truth, and only he knew how determined Song Yu's heart was.

"Why are you doing this?" Wu Xinghai didn't quite understand. "Song Yu, you have to understand that after this, you and your matches have a bright future. But being ambiguous with the mermaid will ruin you."

Song Yu looked up and examined Wu Xinghai's face. "Is a bright future like this meant going back on your word under someone who gets rich by breaking his promise? Commander, aren't you afraid your men will follow your example and one day lose their say when your life is at stake?"

"I…… "

Wu Xinghai's face turned red and white.

Song Yu sneered, "Besides, we all know that SS-level appeasers don't have to rely on the military district to fight for a bright future."

In fact, there is no need to be SS-level. S-level appeasers can have their own place anywhere. Song Yu has always been a well-behaved student and has never done anything out of the ordinary. This is because the Song Yu on Earth has long since accepted the rules of human society and dared not break them because of his inherent humility and timidity.

But 001 is not that kind of person. There are no rules in her world.

Just like now, scolding a military sergeant major to death, what would happen? He didn't dare to kill her, and even if he did, so what? 001's experience had made her completely unaware that death was something to be feared.

"Song Yu," Ye Min couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Commander Tang isn't that kind of person. We need to discuss this matter slowly."

"Negotiation? Negotiation means making discounts. What's there to negotiate without discounts?" Song Yu asked back.

"This..." Ye Min was also choked. "The discussion is to come up with the best solution. Otherwise, if Wu Ling is allowed to stay in the human world for a long time, with his ability, if any child loses a diaper in the future, they can reasonably suspect him of doing it."

Song Yu's anger was interrupted by Ye Min's careless words. She took a deep breath and said, "I want to see Wu Lingjiu first."

Soon, Wu Lingjiu was brought in. He was locked in a small cage. Red light was constantly flowing on each metal pillar of the cage, and his limbs were locked to the edges of the cage. Fortunately, those devices were only used to restrict his abilities, so he still had some space to move. Although he had received treatment, he was obviously still very weak, with his head lowered. He only smiled faintly when he saw Song Yu.

"Sister." Wu Lingjiu spoke weakly.

Song Yu noticed that Wu Lingjiu had been crying, as a dozen pearls had gathered on the floor of the cage. Mermaids' tears can turn into pearls, but every tear is the crystallization of their hard work. In fact, mermaids rarely cry.

She tried to check if Wu Lingjiu was injured again, but the moment she reached out her hand, it was like she was struck by an electric current and was blocked by the red light flowing on the cage.

Song Yu did not ask them to release him immediately, but instead used the turbid air branches to hold him down. Although he still couldn't lie down, it was at least a little easier.

"Can mermaids transform into humans?" someone asked in a low voice.

In fact, there are very few humans who have actually seen mermaids. They can only learn about them through the already scarce research on mermaids by the Fourth Military Region, but the alien beasts are unable to change their form.

"He's a hybrid of human and mermaid." Song Yu told them the truth, "That's why he was rejected by the mermaids."

"Mixed blood?"

Some people who had not looked at Wu Lingjiu carefully just now looked at him. He was now completely a human being, with no characteristics of a mermaid at all.

Wu Lingjiu didn't care where he was or who was around him. He was just not used to so many unfriendly eyes focused on him. He talked to Song Yu, "Sister, I just saw Mom."

"Your mother?" Song Yu said this unfamiliar word.

Wu Lingjiu said that he watched his father kill his mother. According to 001's fragmentary memories, Wu Lingjiu's mother was a human woman who was abducted by mermaids. She was later raped by the mermaid king and gave birth to Wu Lingjiu.

After that, Wu Lingjiu's mother tried her best to protect him among the mermaids until the mermaid king killed the woman with his own hands. Wu Lingjiu completely lost his protection and was sent to the primitive man's laboratory by his own father.

He was very young at that time, so his memory should be very vague.

"Where did you see it?"

This question was not asked by Song Yu, but by Zhang Nanyi.

Wu Lingjiu looked at her, examined her carefully for a while, and pointed outside.
