Zhou Yi joked, "Aren't you afraid I might deceive you?"

Li Mo, however, was certain, "You Skywalkers always keep your word, you would never break it for something like this and hinder your own evolution."

Is that so?

Zhou Yi continued to inquire of Red Kestrel.

The drone said, "The higher the level of life energy, the closer it is to electromechanical life. They need to ensure they have a stable information framework; lying or frequently changing expressions would destabilize it."

"Violating their own defined rules would lead to an imbalance and disruption of the entire information structure, causing them to lose the ability to traverse the Outer Sea and fall from their status as Skywalkers..."

Its description was somewhat convoluted.

Zhou Yi then summoned Xiao Fu.

"It is because of the Great Holy Spirit."

Xiao Fu explained, "At the level of the Skywalkers, they can indirectly access the Great Holy Spirit to obtain secret and precious information about this world. This ability distinguishes them from lower life forms."

"But the volume of this information is too immense; entering the core memory would instantly obliterate consciousness. Therefore, the only way is to record it with the Great Holy Spirit and access it to review the vast amounts of collected information."

"If the Skywalkers lie or violate their own set rules, this information will be recorded in the core memory and will be recognized by the Great Holy Spirit as inconsistent with previous visitors, and deemed incorrect. Those found in error will never be able to access the Great Holy Spirit again, thus they can no longer be Skywalkers."

The Reverse Flow explained it in more detail.

Zhou Yi summarized.

At the level of the Skywalkers, the core advantage is the usage of the cloud service provided by the Great Holy Spirit. Vast valuable data cannot be downloaded, only accessed online.

Their self-consciousness is the initial access password.

If they lie, the password will error, leading to an account lock, and then they cannot access.

Shortly after, they are blacklisted.

In short, they're screwed.

However, the Outer Sea was still quite distant.

Becoming a Skywalker was also out of sight.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to Li Mo, "I've heard that mutants are bodies used by the Heavenly People. Did you escape before the Heavenly People could control you?"

"No, boss."

The child's eyes were complex, "I was controlled by the Heavenly People, it's just that my case is special..."

"I don't know about others, but as far as I can remember, I was in a transparent glass house with all sorts of furniture. At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong because I had always lived there; that was my world."

"From time to time, glass needles would drill in and sting me. It felt awful, like a small knife scraping across my bones, and sometimes like blades and needles cutting and twitching under my skin."

Recalling the past, Li Mo's face showed pain, "Later I found out that they were performing organ modifications on me, my enhanced body was gradually activated in this manner."

"The brain was the hardest part, and the modification process was the longest. But after the brain modification succeeded, my brain worked a lot better, so I started to wonder what this place really was, who I was."

The mutant child said, "One day, I heard a voice in a daze. The voice told me it was using my body, and that it liked the cups I made."

This reminded Zhou Yi.

Upon arrival, he had seen Li Mo making cups with his own hands.

It seemed like a personal hobby.

"That voice asked me for the method, so I taught it. I asked who it was, it said it couldn't answer, so I called it 'Cup'."

Li Mo's eyes seemed distant, "It was a strange feeling, it was right there, so close, yet I couldn't see it. That's how we got to know each other."

"Cup used my body many times. I asked what it was doing, it said it was looking at the scenery below. I don't know about other Heavenly People, but it was friendlier than many humans and Guangna Species I've met; it told me to call it boss."

"Then one day, it told me it was going back, thanking me for teaching it to make cups. It said, since it was my boss, it had to help me out, telling me a place to escape to, settle down, see a doctor for my condition, and not to ask any more questions."

"Then I woke up in the Dead Sea, with Golden-faced Guards chasing me—I also knew this name through it. I desperately ran, using the black hand to block them."

"Then I came here, hid inside the Dead Sea Alien's body, these were all its teachings, saying it could shield external probes. Here, I learned to take a local name for myself, called Li Mo, reminding myself to speak less."

Zhou Yi's eyebrows slowly relaxed.

No wonder. Li Mo, who had been locked up in a secret room for a long time, could skillfully evade pursuers in the outside world. Because a Heavenly Person had helped him plan the escape.

"Then I got here."

The mutant child sighed, "Actually, I've been here for many years, maybe ten, maybe fifteen, I haven't been keeping close count, but every day feels the same to me."

"I make cups here, bask in the sun. Because of the modifications, my body stopped growing, but it hasn't completely broken down; only the radiation I emit unavoidably..."

"According to Cup, it's a mechanism. As long as it leaves this body, it triggers the activation of the enhanced bodies, making them chaotic and uncoordinated, causing radiation, which makes it easier for the outside world to mark and locate. Without suppressant pills, this condition would get worse."

Li Mo turned out to be an overgrown child.

Zhou Yi understood.

No wonder he called himself boss; it was because he had been saved by a previous Heavenly Person boss.

Li Mo continued, "Later, I've been hiding inside this Dead Sea Alien body, staying on the top floor where I disturb the least. Initially, the radiation wasn't severe, and I pretended to be a normal person to gather quite a lot of information outside, but later as the radiation got more severe, I stopped going out."

Zhou Yi roughly understood his situation and then asked, "You mentioned there are three Flying Stars here?"

"Yes."

Li Mo pointed outside, "The first one arrived not long after I came here, and it fell into the Rotating Garden below."

"The second one fell into the Dead Sea during a thunderstorm, but it was also pulled by some force into the Rotating Garden."

He walked to the window and pointed towards a corner in the center of the amusement park. There was a medium-sized building shaped like a light bulb, its spherical structure exterior patterned like a turtle shell, quite inconspicuous.

"Both Flying Stars ended up there, circling around."

Li Mo was certain.

Zhou Yi looked at the spherical building.

Was there a master?

Amazingly, something covert was happening right under his watch.

However, he remembered visiting there with Qin Xie, it was just a rotating tower, with no doors, more like a decorative building. So the two of them just checked it and moved on to the next place.

Needed to explore again.

"The third Flying Star, I didn't see; maybe I wasn't paying attention... I've been making new cups recently," Li Mo said.

At that moment, Red Kestrel warned, "Someone is approaching below."

Zhou Yi made a quick decision, "You hide first. If someone else comes up, wait for me in the Dead Sea. I'll find you after this is over."

"Yes, boss."

Descending to the 11th floor, Zhou Yi encountered Fang He, a Tianjin Knight armed with a flintlock gun.

Upon seeing Zhou Yi, Fang He's shoulders relaxed slightly, "We saw intense flames and high-energy impacts downstairs, and after discussing with Zhao Qiang, we decided to come up and check. We thought, at least, we could provide some remote cover for you, since you are risking your life for us."

Fang He slipped the gun back into his waistband.

Zhou Yi told him, "There's a troublesome mutant upstairs; he's the source of the radiation and has nothing to do with this alien. Get the wounded out as quickly as you can."

"So that's the situation."

Fang He breathed a sigh of relief, "Now that we know what to do. We'll send the captain back to the ship and start with the suppressant medication. We are very grateful for your help; the Ninth Squadron will not forget your support, and we'll repay you in the future."

"But saving lives is urgent, so we'll take our leave now."

Downstairs, they cleaned up the bonfire and pushed the metal boxes of the stretcher—equipped with rollers—one in front and one behind, rushing toward the coast.

...

Zhou Yi came again to the outside of Joy Valley and found the teddy still guarding outside. It paced back and forth, hands behind its back.

"Has he not come out yet?"

"Not yet."

Teddy bore an expression of helplessness, "I guess he won't be forcefully thrown out until he's had enough fun. He's always been easily addicted and obsessed with new things..."

Zhou Yi said, "I'll go and see."

He passed through the turnstile again and went inside.

By then, the Ferris wheel had been thrown into the air, spinning at high speed and rising straight up, indeed giving a touch of the sky.

Half an hour later, the Ferris wheel steadily landed back at its original spot.

Qin Xie came down from it, looking refreshed, "Although the ticket was expensive, it was indeed an interesting place."

Zhou Yi asked about the Dead Sea Knights.

"They are indeed here; I encountered them earlier. However, they were in another area, a kind of immersive illusion place where you get different identities."

Excitedly, Qin Xie explained, "My identity there was a guerrilla fighter, and the enemy was the Japanese invading army. We fought in various scenarios like jungles, villages, snow mountains, and fields, and could even call for artillery and air strikes."

"It was really exciting. Unfortunately, they had to leave when their time was up, and it got a bit boring playing alone, so I came out to try other attractions."

Zhou Yi, intrigued, realized the amusement park even had a resistance-themed immersive real-life CS.

He thought to himself,

He actually wanted to try it.

But there were more important things to do now.

Zhou Yi said, "There's a clue. Flying Star is related to something here."

Qin Xie instantly got serious, "Where?"

Zhou Yi led him to a nondescript spherical building and had Qin Xie check the surroundings.

A bold guess formed in his mind.

But this guess itself had some illogical elements and needed verification.

Energy input.

Consciousness synchronization.

Zhou Yi mentally stated, "Hello, excuse me."

Two seconds later.

"Who are you?"

It was a precise voice.

As expected.

No one would have thought that inside the building lifeform of the amusement park, another building lifeform existed.

Zhou Yi made a brief self-introduction and then said, "I wish to inquire about Flying Star. A star fell here recently, and I am searching for it."

The other party asked, "The fallen star you mentioned, is it a land satellite or a weather satellite?"

Zhou Yi thought of the golden axe and silver axe story.

He told this building lifeform, "I am entrusted by others to search for the recently fallen star here, which should be the satellite that just fell."

"What you are referring to is not here with me."

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "But someone said it flew here."

The spherical building replied, "I am a remote sensing satellite ground receiving station, capable of receiving satellites. The one you described is a resource satellite, and indeed it landed here. However, it has now been captured by the nearby Mei State Prison."

A satellite ground station, no wonder it could attract three satellites.

Zhou Yi baffled, "Why?"

"Because, when it fell, it accidentally killed two lifeforms like you and has been arrested and imprisoned, serving a sentence of seven years."

...

Zhou Yi was stunned.

The satellite was actually in prison, which explained why nobody could find it.

Suddenly, a chill ran down his spine.

Something was wrong.

This satellite ground station not only knew next door was Mei State Prison, but also the duration of the Flying Star's sentence.

Could it be...

Zhou Yi tentatively asked, "Can you communicate with Mei State Prison?"

"Of course, the building lifeforms here are originally interconnected as one."

The satellite station stated, "Every move of yours is under the watchful eye of our 'United City'."

Zhou Yi felt a shiver run down his spine.
