Strong airflow was slowly sweeping past from both sides …
The battle at the Jade Dragon's port was over, and the research island was completely occupied by the Incan swarm.
Of course, this wasn't the end. Lin was still paying attention to something … an escapee.
In the research island that was occupied by the swarm, only one controller managed to escape from the island. It was given an important mission by 'Mukla': take a golden sphere and escape from the research island. After arriving at a certain place, deliver the golden sphere to a certain target.
However, although the controller managed to escape, it didn't take the golden sphere with it. That was because it took off its synthetic skin to escape …
Moreover, it didn't really escape, because Lin was stuck to the ship it boarded.
Currently, it had flown more than 200 kilometers away from the research island, but it didn't seem to have reached its destination.
This kind of ship was also controlled by its controller. Usually, it was in a stationary state, and the controller should be able to control its speed and direction.
Therefore, Lin had a question. Why was the ship getting slower and slower?
Previously, the ship was quite fast, moving at more than one kilometer per second. It was able to shake off all the Incan swarm troops in an instant, but after flying for a while, it slowed down.
Right now, he was floating at a speed of about 20 meters per second. Even a giant tortoise wouldn't be that slow …
It should be in a hurry to get back, in a hurry to find reinforcements or something. It should also be afraid of being chased, but why was it so slow? Did it already know? Did Lin's soul stick to its body?
It didn't seem possible … but perhaps the 'creator' knew.
It wasn't that it directly detected it. It thought of this possibility. Therefore, it refused any reinforcements and slowed down the ship. But how did it slow down the ship?
This didn't match the controller's thoughts. Lin could feel that the controller in the ship was very anxious. Their emotions couldn't be sensed when they were wearing synthetic skin, but now that they had taken it off, it was very clear.
It was in a hurry to get back, but the 'creator' didn't let it. In other words, the 'creator' used a long-distance control method to slow down the ship.
However, Lin couldn't sense any signal. Otherwise, she could follow the signal to find the target.
Could it be … that they used that method?
But before he could figure this out, there were some things he needed to figure out on the other side.
Inside the research island, Lin was studying the golden sphere that Mukla's controller told them to take away. There wasn't anything special inside the sphere, only a bunch of crystals.
The shape of the crystal pieces varied and didn't have a fixed shape. It looked like something useless, but in fact, it had a very special effect for the 'creator'.
These crystals were called 'memory crystals'. Their first function was to control the controller.
Lin learned about this from the immortal's dream. As long as the crystal was placed on the controller's body, the controller's body would automatically swallow the crystal. This process seemed to be beyond their control …
After devouring, the controller's behavior would change accordingly. It would perform some special actions that had nothing to do with their memories.
They used this kind of crystal to read a kind of information, and then they would automatically act according to this information.
The Hierophant had done a bit of research on these things before, but he didn't have much contact with them, but it was enough for Lin to understand them.
Aside from affecting the controller, these crystals also had other uses, and that was … to trigger the crystal discs that displayed the 3D images …
All the image discs displayed the images according to the amount of force used by the controller, and these memory crystals were specially made to have a special weight. As long as they were placed on the discs, they would display a special image.
Mukla's controller told them to take back the golden sphere filled with these crystals. Obviously, this meant that they could display some special information to be conveyed to the 'creator'.
The specific crystals could only be used on specific image discs, so the discs on the research island couldn't display anything.
So, in this situation where the controller's ship couldn't return, everything was useless.
What Lin needed to do now was to hurry it back.
Currently, the floating soul was inside the ship it was on. The ship was about 10 meters long, and it was almost the same as a normal ship sailing at sea. There was nothing on the deck, but there were some cracks. These cracks could be opened to allow the controller to enter.
And even if it wasn't opened, the floating soul could still enter through the cracks.
There were some complicated parts inside, and they seemed to block all paths. But Lin believed that when the controller entered, these parts would open up a path for the controller to reach the core of the ship.
Lin's drifting soul could also slip through the gaps between these things.
Although they seemed to have many uses, most of the parts weren't used, and it was unknown what they were used for. The only part that was used was the jet engine core at the center of the ship …
And the controller was on top of this core …
Among the densely packed alloy parts, the floating soul looked at the anxious controller. It was on top of a platform, and it was trying to send a signal to the surrounding ships.
If one looked closely, one could see a crystal inside its transparent body. This crystal was affecting its movements, preventing it from moving the ship to its destination.
Perhaps the 'creator' had expected this to happen, so he placed this memory crystal in the ship.
This memory crystal was only effective on one type of controller, the controller with the personality of another creature. To be more precise, it was called a 'soul eater'.
However, Lin could make the effect disappear …
The floating soul slowly crawled to the side of the controller who was still unaware. The floating soul quietly extended its body a little, and it hardened into the shape of a spike and pierced into the controller's body.
The tip of the spike slowly released a narcotic toxin, and the controller's movements slowed down …
At the same time, the floating soul extended another tentacle into the controller's body, grabbed the crystal, and slowly pulled it out …
The floating soul swallowed the crystal and broke it down in its body. Lin found that the crystal contained some special components that could affect the controller's behavior …
