A night had passed.

Nash, after severing his own frontal lobe, got so drunk at the cruise ship bar that he was unrecognizable, and in the end, he was carried back to his room by the crew.

When he groggily woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day, exactly one day since boarding. His "frontal lobe" had unconsciously regenerated while he was drunk and instinctively climbed the wall to continue listening to what was happening next door.

Wow~ A louder scream pierced through the wall,

This scream, beyond all reason, made Nash tense all over. He didn’t believe that a perfect being like the boss would make such a noise. He chalked it all up to his own delirium, quickly dug out his entire brain and soaked it in the bathtub, planning to get some serious sleep.

...

In the next room,

The basic physical examination for William took longer than expected and consumed a whole day.

In the final stage,

William, who had washed himself clean, lay in the bathtub with his right foot sticking out,

Jessica squatted halfway down, biting William’s toes with her teeth,

While applying pressure with her teeth, she slowly untied the stitches of her mouth, opened it wide, and bit down on half of William’s foot. Her mouth, full of densely packed teeth, stimulated the most intense pressure points on the sole of his foot, reaching his entire body.

This feeling was even more intense than before, forcing William to cry out loudly.

The full-body bite came to an end,

Jessica gently wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with her right hand, re-stitched her split mouth, and put her mask back on.

In her mind, a ’tooth-sensory physical detection map’ had already formed, and while she was shocked, she also couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

"You’ve dissected many human bodies, even those afflicted with cancer and massive proliferation. Your physical structure is completely different from theirs;

only the skin and the frame resemble a human.

"Your body must have undergone foundational changes and completion using ’Ancient Gene’, right? Was it completed during the silver liquid period?"

"You’re spot on, Doctor Jessica."

"Indeed, it’s perfect. At least at first glance after my examination, I couldn’t find any flaws, but after careful consideration, I discovered the problem.

"I’m not the first person to point out issues with your body, am I?"

"That’s right, many who are stronger than me, or those who are experts in physicality, have said something similar."

"Did they tell you what the problem was?"

"No..."

"Then let me put forth my medical opinion and discuss the current problems with your body."

Having said that,

Jessica extended her index finger, from which grew a special incisor, and then reached into the bathtub to touch William’s flesh,

Pressing and gliding between the chest muscles and the abdomen, she forcefully scraped the muscle gaps with her fingertip teeth or squeezed certain muscles with great strength.

William clenched his teeth, experiencing an indescribable mix of pain and pleasure. As her fingers moved, he even began to experience full-body spasms and convulsions.

"It feels quite intense, doesn’t it?"

"Yes."

"’Void,’ that is your problem... Your physical construction is indeed very perfect, and it obviously took a vast amount of silver liquid to forge such a body— I don’t even understand why those fellows would allow you to consume so much silver liquid.

While the exterior structure looks perfect, with every frame in place without a single flaw,

But... your insides are empty!

That is to say, although the range and complexity of illnesses within you are vast, most of them lack sufficient purity to fill, occupy, or utilize this perfect frame and can only perform superficial functions.

This ultimately results in an empty body, where many regions are merely outer shells with frames, and inside, it is just an empty void—this is the ’Void.’

With the support of your special skin, you might barely conceal this layer of ’Void.’ However, once you face strong enemies, this ’Void’ will be infinitely magnified, leading to defeat and even death.

Excluding your abyss part, you’re probably not even a match for that parasitic companion who follows you. Of course, I haven’t considered your Madness Brain in this, which, from the looks of it, seems quite perfect."

"How can I fill this ’Void’? Should I perfect my range of illnesses or...?"

"You can take your time to perfect it, starting from scratch with the Plague Book for each Source Epidemic Area to practice, enhancing the purity and concentration of each illness to fill the gaps in the physical body.

But doing so takes a long time and it’s unlikely that every Source Epidemic Area will support you, after all, the exclusivity of the Plague Books is quite strong. For instance, the Suffering Monastery definitely won’t support you.

There’s another method, which is to use something else, something with enough weight, capable of commanding all illnesses to fill the voids and gaps, even to take control of the physical body.

Your Madness Brain can only play a regulatory role, you’ll need to find something else,

The Abyss might hold that possibility, but I’ll have to complete my entire inspection of it to come to a final conclusion.

Shall we start now?"

Dentist Jessica’s white speckled pupils exuded an endless thirst for knowledge;

she had been waiting for this moment, even the swallowing movement in her throat suggested she was gulping down saliva.

"Let’s grab something to eat first~ We seem to have gone the whole day without food;

being hungry isn’t good."

"That works."

Just as William had finished dressing and was preparing to head to the cruise ship’s dining room for a meal with Jessica, a star message was received.

"There’s something amiss in the ocean, be careful."

William’s pupils suddenly dilated and he took a step like an arrow to the room’s ocean-view balcony.

On the misty sea surface, the whale eyes that had been following the ship swelled up, filled with blood vessels, as if preparing to charge head-on at the ship’s hull.

...

[Old World, Great Yuan Epidemic Area - Arc Sea]

The sea of Arc Sea is thoroughly clear to the bottom, quite different from the multi-colored waters completely infected by the Source Plague in the human world.

Due to a high degree of uniformity among the pathogens here, they operate in an orderly manner under the command of a certain signal, allowing the naked eye to see about fifty meters deep with effective light source.

If one were to search carefully in the absolute darkness of the sea bottom, seeking the origin of the deep-sea signal, they would find a uniquely structured intestinal tract of the sea floor stabilized by special fish scales.

Quite unlike the ’Dream of the Deep Sea’ that William once experienced,

The true Deep Sea Laboratory lies beneath the sea floor intestinal tract, a veritable secret of the deep sea. Catherine’s memories related to it in her brain are sealed, not shareable.

Experiments related to the female body, octopus, and dreams are being conducted in some laboratory below, with dreams being just one of the projects.

Different laboratories are located in different branches of the intestinal tract,

Currently, inside a lab with the symbol of an ’Eye’ on its door.

Here, thousands of bottles and jars are stored, each stuffed with living eyeballs, each corresponding to one of an ’Eye of Surveillance’ in a lake, river, or even ocean.

Besides, at the room’s center, there’s a special large experiment table.

The interior of the table is carved into fixed shapes and filled with sea water, with contours that, upon observation, are clearly carved to the proportions of the human world’s oceans.

The real-time situation of the human world’s oceans is perfectly reflected here.

The cruise ship Williams and others are on is also floating on the table’s surface, like a scale model of a ship, surrounded by many eyeballs.

And Fish Origin, whose name resonates far and wide, is right here today, observing this human ocean domain that he is preparing to completely settle in as his new home.

However, his gaze is not on the ships. Seeing such vessels is common, and he would not interfere or even allows ’cross-contamination’ to occur.

His attention is fixed on a part of the ocean, a part outside of his control, where the water inexplicably shows an unusual silver color.

Any eyeball that falls into it gets disoriented and ultimately self-destructs.

Even if some so-called ’capable subordinates’ were sent, they disappeared completely, and some of the Silver Circle Level deep-sea patients wanted to go to investigate. However, considering the side effects of World Crossing that would limit their strengths, they were ultimately vetoed by Fish Origin.

He needs to preserve the strength of the deep sea to achieve a complete deep-sea relocation.

Fish Origin has already attempted many new methods, but still cannot obtain any information about the Silver Sea Domain,

Just then, he suddenly noticed the boat, which hadn’t caught his attention initially. After a day and a night of navigation, the route could be roughly estimated,

Oddly enough, there’s a high probability, over 65%, that the route doesn’t lead to any continent but instead to the Silver Sea Domain. Such a course piqued his immediate interest.

He personally manipulated the whale eyes surrounding the ship, wanting to see if there was anything special about this vessel.
