Chapter 866 Her?

On the surveillance records left in the control center, it could be seen that this warship was participating in a battle before being abandoned. The entire control hall was busy, with hundreds of officers and commanders of various levels directing the fleet in this hall, orderly and tense.

But suddenly, the three beams of light in the center of the hall seemed to be disturbed by something and instantly became blurred. A large number of interference ripples also appeared on the surveillance screen. After these screens stabilized, Hao Ren saw a ball of blood-red liquid in the center of the screen.

Due to the strong interference, he couldn't see how this liquid appeared in the hall, but he guessed it might be spatial teleportation. This liquid had no fixed shape, floating in mid-air and wriggling like living slime. Its appearance caused great chaos.

Hao Ren saw that the rebel commanders on the surveillance screen noticed the invading object that appeared in the hall almost simultaneously, and everyone immediately showed a panicked look. The operators jumped up from their workstations and ran to the nearest exit, while several officers began to shout loudly, trying to restore order. Many guards-like soldiers ran in from outside the hall, and they rushed towards the liquid under the orders of their superiors, but no one dared to really approach that strange thing. The originally orderly control center became a mess in a few seconds, with various noisy shouts mixed together. Among those chaotic shouts, Hao Ren could only distinguish a few meaningful phrases: "He has found us!" "Abandon ship! Escape!" "Everyone calm down, calm down! This is just a fragment!" "Don't forget what we are here to do! Drive Him out and continue fighting!"

While everyone in the control hall was in chaos, the liquid didn't do anything at all. It just floated quietly in the center of the three beams of light, slowly wriggling and deforming at an almost sluggish speed, as if thinking about something. After the chaos lasted for a while, it finally moved and slowly floated towards the exit of the hall—but in the process, it still ignored anyone around it.

But the direction this liquid was moving was exactly a blind spot formed by several operating tables. As it slowly floated towards the door, a rebel officer with a face full of horror suddenly jumped up from between those operating tables. This officer seemed to think that the liquid was coming for him, and his first reaction in the great panic was to attack proactively. Hao Ren saw him suddenly take out a short staff from his arms and summon a dazzling lightning ball to throw at the liquid.

The lightning ball collided with the red "water ball," but it was annihilated without causing the slightest ripple. Then a red light burst out from the liquid and hit the attacking officer. The latter trembled violently as if struck by lightning. The short staff in his hand instantly turned to ashes, and a faint layer of red mist quickly spread all over his body—that mist was boiling blood steaming out of every pore. The blood in his body began to burn, detached from the shackles of his body, and floated into the air towards the water ball, while his skin became pale and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye. In almost a few seconds, this officer, who had seemed quite heroic just a moment ago, became a corpse. He fell to the ground with great horror, his body losing a lot of blood, and his skin shriveled and pale like a zombie.

He fell exactly where everyone had found the body just now.

The nearby guards immediately shouted after seeing this scene: "This is not an ordinary fragment! It's a high-concentration thought entity! Don't attack, don't attack!"

A senior officer who looked like a captain appeared on the screen. After realizing that the situation was out of control, he finally ordered loudly: "Notify the entire ship, abandon ship! Everyone on the scene retreat from the bridge, don't shift your gaze, and don't attack proactively!"

Everyone in the control center was pardoned, and they fled this place in a panic. After a while, Hao Ren heard a broadcast from outside the screen: "Flagship Three is under the gaze of a god, abandon ship, everyone abandon ship. Flagship Three is under the gaze of a god, abandon ship, everyone abandon ship..."

"So that's how they evacuated," Lily blinked after seeing this. "That thing looks like Source Blood, right? The traitors are quite afraid of it."

Hao Ren didn't say anything. He was still staring at the surveillance image, because the image recording hadn't ended here.

After all the officers and soldiers in the hall had evacuated, the liquid still floated quietly in place. It stopped after being attacked, completely "stunned" as if it had been startled. It didn't chase those fleeing traitors, nor did it destroy the equipment on the ship. Although those who ran away from it regarded it as a flood and a beast, it didn't seem to have any offensive tendencies itself. The liquid just floated there blankly, occasionally shaking its surface slightly, until a few minutes later it trembled a few times as if waking up from a dream, and then continued to float towards the door.

Just then, a communicator in the hall suddenly lit up, and a woman appeared on the communicator's holographic projection. Hao Ren felt a sense of déjà vu the moment he saw the figure. He felt that the woman in the picture was a little familiar.

"Flagship Three, report your situation... Flagship Three? Your situation... What is this?!"

The person who appeared on the communicator didn't seem to know what was happening on Flagship Three. She called out a few times before suddenly stopping, and then she saw the red liquid floating in mid-air. The whole person was stunned.

The red liquid was also startled by the suddenly jumping out of the holographic projection. It immediately approached with great interest, and then twisted in front of the projection. At first, Hao Ren didn't know what it wanted to do, but soon he saw other colors and things appearing in the liquid. It slowly elongated, "grew" hands and feet and clothes, and simulated the color of skin and the texture of fabric. It created a long hair for itself, and adjusted it many times because it felt it was not perfect enough. Hao Ren finally knew what the liquid was doing: it was imitating the person appearing on the communicator.

The woman on the other side of the communicator finally realized what she was looking at. She screamed and cut off the line directly.

The liquid—now no longer a liquid, she was already a living person—was startled by the scream. She didn't have time to completely adjust her appearance to be exactly the same as the one in the holographic projection, so she seemed a little annoyed. Her current appearance was only seven or eight points similar to the original, but it completely matched someone Hao Ren knew: Vivian.

"Vivian" was annoyed for a while, and soon forgot about it. She lowered her head and looked at the clothes simulated on her body, with a satisfied look on her face, and then imitated the voice she had just heard and shouted at the empty hall: "Flagship Three, Flagship Three..."

No one responded, so she clapped her hands, casually opened a portal in the air, and strode in, muttering as she walked: "What is this, what is this..."

The surveillance record really ended here.

Hao Ren, Lily, and Yizaks were all stunned in place in a petrified posture. Finally, Lily was the first to come back to life. She jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail and shouted: "Was that a bat just now! That was definitely a bat!"

"You think so too?" Hao Ren pinched his cheeks and found it was very painful. "Damn, I thought I saw it wrong... It's really Vivian!"

Lily jumped up and down for a while, then suddenly rushed over and grabbed Hao Ren's sleeve: "Landlord, landlord, I want to call the bat! Quickly give her a call! I have something very important to tell her!"

Hao Ren was confused by this girl's crazy behavior, and subconsciously handed over the data terminal: "Connect to the landline at home."

Lily held the terminal and waited for a while, and Vivian's voice finally came from the other side: "Hello? Hello, who is this?"

"Bat!!" Lily's shout made the terminal tremble, "I just saw how you came out of your mother's womb!"

"You're a lunatic, dog! Calling across the universe just to say this?" Vivian shouted and hung up the phone directly.

Hao Ren also thought Lily was a lunatic, but he could understand the excitement in her heart now, because he himself wasn't calm either. After Lily finally calmed down, he touched his chin and muttered: "If I'm not mistaken, what we saw just now was indeed the process of Vivian's birth. Now we've finally found the evidence."
