"I hope they can return safely..."
President Huang Weiguo patted Ma Ran on the shoulder: "Let's go first!"
"There are still many things to handle, don't worry too much."
"Health is the foundation of revolution. Only by conserving energy and being vigorous can we better solve problems."
Old Huang said this readily.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized sothing was amiss.
The feel was wrong!
How could patting soone's shoulder feel like patting a bunch of cotton?
"Wait!"
President Huang Weiguo's heart skipped a beat as he imdiately approached Ma Ran.
It was then he noticed that Ma Ran's movents were stiff, his eyes lacked luster, and his limbs were not coordinated.
Because Old Huang had successfully cultivated Inner Qi, his physical strength and observational skills had gradually returned to their pri.
At this mont, he even realized that the Ma Ran before him wasn't breathing and he couldn't hear a heartbeat!
It was fake!
"Sorry to make you worry."
The "Ma Ran" in front of him smiled chanically and said, "The promises to the Sword Master, the promises to the Demon Child, have not been fulfilled."
President Huang Weiguo was infuriated: "We never said we'd renege on those promises! Co back first!"
Unfortunately, the Ma Ran before him wasn't an intelligent life form, only a congloration of Inner Qi.
Stored within it were voice fragnts but no intelligence to engage in conversation with people.
After saying the first two sentences, "Ma Ran's" figure began to gradually turn into a puff of white smoke, slowly dissipating into the air.
Only his voice lingered indoors.
"The level of danger in the Eternal Civilization is even beyond what the advisory departnt anticipated."
"Therefore..."
"I need to personally go."
"With taking care, their chances of returning safely increase significantly."
Watching helplessly as the Inner Qi dummy left by Ma Ran vanished from sight, Old Huang sighed.
No wonder he felt sothing was amiss earlier, feeling that Ma Ran seed distant, unfamiliar, and unrealistic.
It turned out, this Ma Ran was just an illusion constructed from Inner Qi!
The real body was probably off with the Demon Child's group, heading towards the Eternal Civilization?
When Inner Qi cultivation reaches the Ninth Rank, it's capable of storing so voice and text information; Earthlings have known this long before.
As for molding Inner Qi into a dummy, in President Huang Weiguo's view, it was a new technique Ma Ran probably just learned from the Demon Child. With limited ti and insufficient deep study, so flaws were exposed.
Given ti, Ma Ran could probably travel to outer space for a trip; upon his return, no one would notice he had ever left!
Old Huang stomped his foot in frustration, and couldn't help but grumble, "This child..."
"Why is he so honest and trustworthy?"
After saying this, President Huang Weiguo paused in a daze, then smiled bitterly.
After all, Ma Ran is still Ma Ran.
Even if the decision made is sothing people can't agree with, he himself has no standing to criticize.
Can he say Ma Ran was wrong?
Clearly not!
Honesty and trustworthiness are qualities that are always excellent, in any era or background.
But...
A promise as valuable as gold sounds admirable, but if Ma Ran always keeps to it, how much would he suffer...
In fact, upon careful thought, Lin Qiubai, Zhang Kuang, and Ma Ran all share so commonalities in terms of reputation.
At least in this aspect, these three are self-disciplined individuals.
With things as they are, President Huang Weiguo can only hope that Ma Ran is able to manage the Demon Child, Su Qiangwei, Wu Di, and Li Xing, so that those four mbers can act more calm and rationally.
He hopes that these five, after their onsite investigation of the Eternal Civilization, could obtain intelligence and return safely...
"Eh?"
Old Huang suddenly realized the critical problem: "There were only four Disguise Cards confiscated from the Pursuer!"
"How did the five of them manage to get there?"
The life detection devices of the Eternal Civilization are not things that can be easily circumvented.
At least with Earth's current level of technology, it's impossible to violently crack them within a century or two.
"Did the Demon Child use so thod to feign death and bypass the White Coffin's detection system?"
"Or..."
President Huang Weiguo could only speculate here.
In a blink, the White Coffin had transford into an interstellar leap carrier, taking the five individuals with it, rging into the air, vanishing without a trace, as if it never existed.
...
Inside the White Coffin, after Su Qiangwei entered, she lost her perception of ti.
It was as if with a blink, many years had passed.
In a daze, she only felt the world spinning, head heavy and feet light, a strong feeling of dizziness overwheld her.
The next mont, she heard the common language of the Eternal.
Thanks to the Myriad Transformations of the ability called [Language Proficiency], Su Qiangwei could completely understand it.
The general aning of the voice was—"Successfully arrived at destination, temporary wormhole has dissociated, interstellar jump pod will soon close, please exit promptly."
The "coffin lid" automatically opened, and a dim light shone in.
Su Qiangwei leaped, graceful as a swallow, imdiately jumping out of the White Coffin, maintaining a combat stance, looking around but finding no issues.
Then, four companions dressed in the sa pure white full coverage protective clothing erged from the interstellar jump pod behind her.
Wait! Why were there five people?
Zhang Kuang, Wu Di, Li Xing, along with herself.
There was an extra person.
Who was it?
Su Qiangwei's pupils slightly contracted, her tone urgent: "Disperse imdiately! There's one extra!"
As soon as she finished speaking, half an apple spun in the air, lazily flew over.
No malice!
The half-eaten apple contained low kinetic energy.
The girl's sight moved beyond the apple, falling on the person who threw it.
Although due to the advanced Disguise Card, the person was covered from head to toe in protective suit, but...
Too familiar.
With a swept glance, Su Qiangwei recognized the person's identity.
She caught the apple, gently squeezed it, activating the [Pandora] ability.
Pa!
The half-apple was stored away as a reserve food.
"Why did you co along too?"
Really "see you later," huh!
The girl chuckled, the serious look on her face quickly fading, no longer in a state as if facing great danger, instead giving off a noticeably more relaxed vibe.
As she spoke, she raised her hand to subtly point at Ma Ran, using the [Unity] ability to convey to the uninford teammates: "Don't worry, it's Ma Ran."
The so-called "uninford teammates" naturally referred to Wu Di and Li Xing.
As for the Demon Child?
Co on!
For Ma Ran to fool Elder Huang and make it to the Eternal Civilization, it surely couldn't be done without the Demon Child's "help."
Moreover...
The [Unity] ability seed ineffective on Zhang Kuang as well.
Regarding this, Su Qiangwei felt a bit vexed.
In her imaginative thoughts, the Demon Child presumably, perhaps, seemingly, probably reached the legendary realm of "All Laws Cannot Be Added to the Body."
