After nightfall, the Sea Emperor silently tampered with the surveillance on the square, completely erasing the images of Guding and Liliya from the footage.
The two of them retrieved the corpse of the giant beast, extracted the Energy Crystal Bead, and Liliya put the corpse back without leaving a trace. They retreated back to the cabin again.
Liliya expertly implanted the Energy Crystal Bead back into Guding's neck.
The Sea Emperor focused all his attention on the changes within Guding's body. He wanted to know what secrets lay hidden inside him.
As expected, a peculiar virus appeared suddenly without any warning, devouring the Energy Crystal Bead in Guding's neck in less than two minutes.
