Noland Lee checked the system message and dismissed his own conjecture.

The system message clearly stated that he had been attacked by “alien space noise,” not an enemy character or something else.

Alien space noise wouldn’t spare exploration team members.

But why didn’t these people react?

Noland Lee became cautious and swept his gaze across the deck, heading towards Derek Davis’s position.

Halfway there, the exploration team members who had stuck their heads into the grey mist took their heads out and chatted with the people around them, sharing their experiences.

Noland Lee targeted one of them and cast Deconstruction, his heart sinking slightly.

The energy consumption for deconstructing that team member had changed. It had increased from the original 20,000 points to 40,000 points. At the same time, the system advised Noland Lee to use Harmless Deconstruction, or else he would suffer negative effects.

Had the souls of the exploration team members become corrupted?

Noland Lee pondered inwardly while maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.

At this moment, Derek Davis was sitting in the cabin with a roll of cigarettes in his mouth, a notebook and pen in his hand, and was writing down action records.

Seeing Noland Lee coming towards him, he took out a cigarette and threw it over.

Just as Derek was about to greet Noland Lee to sit down, he noticed Noland Lee making a “caution” gesture under cover of his body.

Derek Davis was stunned for 0.1seconds, then resumed his lazy demeanor and leaned back in his chair.

He slapped his head, feigned remembering something, put away his notebook and pen, stood up and said,

“Ah, right. Let’s discuss the distribution of our spoils.”

Derek Davis entered the corridor and went into the resting room.

Before Noland Lee followed him into the room, he glanced around, released Deconstruction to cover everyone on the ship, and then closed the door behind him.

The two men held a spoken conversation while exchanging written messages in the notebook.

Noland Lee revealed the possibility that the exploration team members had been polluted by the alien space noise, justifying that he had observed their vital signs with Magic Vision, which were clearly different from before.

Of course, the actual situation was that he had used Deconstruction to identify the polluted crew members, not magic, but he still needed a plausible pretext.

Noland Lee wrote down a list of names in the notebook, recording all the polluted personnel.

Fortunately, none of the Golden Merchant’s Swords stuck their heads into the mist. They had not been contaminated by the noise. Noland Lee confirmed this repeatedly.

Derek Davis pondered the list, went out of the room, and gathered his team under the pretext of discussing the action plan after the arrival of their help.

Miss Esme Smith was also invited. She handed her work to Hudson, and followed Derek Davis into the resting room.

Noland Lee sat in the resting room, activated “Life and Death Tracking,” and viewed the corridor through the wall.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He used Deconstruction on the exploration team members who had observed the mist, secretly sighing to himself.

In just a little while, the entire exploration team, except for Miss Esme Smith, had been annihilated.

Yes, annihilated. Captain Hudson of the exploration team and his team members all exhibited doubled deconstruction consumption without exception.

They were recording experimental data while laughing, their smiles genuine and full of goodwill, with no trace of contamination.

Noland Lee knew that this was the effect of the “One body, two sides” feature.

No one could detect the madness, distortion, and evil in the hearts of those with corrupted souls before they actively revealed their corrupted side.

What a bizarre and unpredictable corrupting ability, could this be the mental pollution of the Indescribable Entity… Noland Lee thought to himself.

Derek Davis wrote a few lines in the notebook and passed the information on to Miss Esme Smith.

Upon learning that her entire exploration team had been polluted by the alien space noise, Miss Esme Smith’s expression changed rapidly.

First disbelief and doubt, followed by frowning and contemplation, then a half-believing-half-doubting expression, with worry and regret concentrated between her brows.

The discussion in the resting room paused briefly, then resumed as normal.

Derek Davis used the sound of the discussion to give orders to each person with his notebook.

After making a few preparations, the Golden Merchant’s Swords and Miss Esme Smith in the resting room composed themselves, steadied their minds, and walked out of the resting room with their usual expressions.

The Golden Merchant’s Swords spread out, seemingly standing casually in the corridor and cabin, but in reality, they had formed an encirclement around the exploration team members.

Miss Esme Smith went alone to the deck, took the notebook from Hudson, and said calmly,

“Hudson, activate your Alchemy Weaponry and test whether the performance of the Alchemy Weaponry would be affected at the edge of the fog.”

“Err, Miss, haven’t we tested that near other Lost Sea Fogs before?”

Hudson found a perfectly normal reason to reject Miss Esme Smith’s suggestion.

“This is a routine test item, Hudson. In addition to testing Alchemy Weaponry, we also have some Alchemy Arrays to test…”

Miss Esme Smith conversed with Hudson unhurriedly.

Hudson’s dark face wore a stiff smile, and his eyes were full of thoughtful light.

Noland Lee, in the cabin, saw this through the porthole.

He pondered to himself,

“Derek was right. Activating Alchemy Stones and Alchemy Weaponry would expose the polluted people. This should be thanks to the Alchemy Stones. The main material for Alchemy Stones is the spirit and soul of Alchemists. To see if the soul is corrupted, all you have to do is take a look at the Alchemy Stone. Seeing Hudson’s reaction, his corrupted side knew that he couldn’t take out his Alchemy Stone since it would directly expose the fact that he was corrupted. That’s why he keeps rebutting Miss Esme Smith’s suggestion to test the Alchemy Weaponry.”
