Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Villette: "?"

Su Jinyan waved his hand coldly: "Fine, dispose of it harmlessly."

Upon receiving the order, the assistant cruelly raised the baseball bat.

Villette closed his eyes in terror, never expecting that someone was even more anxious than him.

The medical staff member rushed forward without hesitation, standing in front of Xing.

It seems he is a good doctor; for the sake of his patients, he disregarded his own safety and stood in front of the rioters.

Those present unanimously cast approving glances at the medical clerk.

"Stop! What are you going to do to my precious research materials?!"

"This is crucial to my promotion this year!" the medical clerk shouted angrily.

Everyone present fell silent again, as if by unspoken agreement.

Su Jinyan waved his hand coldly again: "Take care of him as well."

Xing raised his bat high again: "Good!"

The medical clerk and Villette simultaneously closed their eyes in terror.

"Someone's causing trouble! Go get Brother Alan!"

The medical staff member shouted at the top of his lungs, and the other medical staff members scattered like birds and beasts.

"My dear friend, what are you doing?" Yinzhi asked, puzzled.

Dan Heng's brow twitched slightly. Based on his understanding of Su Jinyan, Su Jinyan wouldn't do such a thing without a reason.

There must be a reason for this.

Su Jinyan ignored Yinzhi and directly used [Mind Control] on the medical staff.

"Tell me in detail about Vilit's current situation."

The medical staff member said nervously, "Okay, okay, the patient's body has nanoscale, elongated organisms residing inside."

"This organism is constantly competing with the patient for nutrients."

"It is currently unknown what species it is."

Su Jinyan and Dan Heng exchanged a glance, seemingly already having their answer.

The medical clerk continued, "Half a system hour has passed, and the patient has already received twenty bottles of advanced nutritional fluids."

"A single bottle of high-grade nutritional solution can meet the daily calorie needs of a normal adult male."

"Do you know what this means?"

The medical clerk's expression was somewhat fanatical: "At this rate..."

"If we continue to provide nutrition to the unknown organisms inside the patient's body."

"Once it gets enough nutrients, it might hatch and transform into a completely new species."

"And this undiscovered creature will be named after me."

Dan Heng was horrified: "What if we stop the nutrition supply?"

The medical clerk replied, "He will die."

"Once the nutrient supply is stopped, based on the current trend, Mr. Villett will be drained of nutrients by the unknown creature within three systems at most."

"Of course, based on the existing data analysis, the period of activity of the unknown organism was before a certain time period."

"It is possible that the unknown creature may go dormant and slowly absorb nutrients, but no one can say for sure."

"If there are other, more suitable hosts, perhaps the unknown creature will seek out another host?"

A system before?

That was exactly when Su Jinyan and Dan Heng arrived at the Black Tower Space Station platform.

Could it be that something inside the Black Tower space station attracted the unknown creature within Vilit's body?

No, it shouldn't be called an unknown creature.

Su Jinyan felt that there was a very high probability that the thing was a type of insect from the swarm.

It could be a mutated subspecies of the cricket, or it could be eggs laid by the cricket inside the Villit, currently hatching and in dire need of nutrition.

Could the disaster that the Black Tower space station is about to face, as mentioned in the narration, refer to the worms residing in Vilit's body?

Could nanoscale insects, or even insect eggs, really bring a devastating disaster to the Black Tower space station?

Su Jinyan fell into deep thought.

Yinzhi's expression turned serious; clearly, he had also realized this.

He found Villette in a remote mountain cave.

When Silverbranch found Villette, he was being chased and stung by a swarm of true stinging insects.

If it weren't for Silver Branch's timely rescue, Villette would probably have lost her life long ago.

“Villit, besides encountering real stinging insects in that cave.”

"Have you encountered any other creatures?"

With a mournful face, Villett typed on the virtual keyboard inside the medical pod and replied:

"I stumbled upon a treasure map and went to explore a cave. There I unexpectedly discovered a very beautiful pink worm."

"It secretes secondary metabolites around it, giving off a distinctive floral, fruity, and honey-scented aroma."

“I subconsciously felt that this worm must be very valuable, so I wanted to pack it up and take it away to auction.”

"Who knew that I simply touched it, and it immediately disappeared from my sight."

Dan Heng stared intently at Vilit, his gaze unfriendly.

Is he ignorant or stupid? He had no idea how much trouble the information he concealed might cause the Star Train.

What if the worms residing in Vilit's body find another host, and they happen to be unaware of it?

The Black Tower space station will definitely cause turmoil.

Once the Black Tower Space Station investigates the matter thoroughly, the Star Train will inevitably bear some responsibility.

Yinzhi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, dear friend, Mr. Danheng."

"It's my fault for not asking him beforehand..."

Dan Heng shook his head slightly and looked at Vilit: "Is there any other important information you haven't explained clearly?"

Villette hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "No, really no more."

Su Jinyan lost patience and directly used [Mind Control] on Vilit.

"Villit, what are you still hiding?"

Villette's eyes were glazed over: "I heard that someone at the Galactic Trade Fair was offering a high price to buy the larvae of the [Space Insect].

"I took the risk of exploring the swarm's possible nests for the sake of a large amount of credits."

"Using the equipment I had prepared beforehand, I bypassed the swarm's warning lines and ventured deep into countless insect nests before finally discovering the larvae of the Space Beetle."

"But the moment I touched it, the advanced camouflage paint I used to conceal my body and scent failed."

"The space bug disappeared from my sight, and at the same time, the swarm's warning line was triggered."

"If it weren't for Mr. Silver Branch descending from the sky, I probably would have perished in the insect hive."

As Villett recounted his adventures deep into the insect hive in fits and starts...

Dan Heng also searched for information about space insects in the think tank.

"The Space Insect was once a relatively harmless insect among the locust swarms that plagued the world, and it was difficult to catch."

"Raising the larvae of space beetles requires a lot of time, effort, and money."

"The growth of the Space Bug is divided into three stages. Each new stage brings good luck and rich rewards to the host."

"However, the think tank did not specify what nutrients would be used to feed the space beetles."

Su Jinyan said in a deep voice, "The answer is already obvious."

"What the space insects need is human flesh and blood, or even more precious nutrients."

"But the only nourishment that can be called nourishment for the barren Vilit is his flesh and blood."

The questions that had been troubling Su Jinyan and his group were finally resolved, but a new problem immediately arose.

Space bugs alone wouldn't pose a catastrophic threat to the Black Tower space station, would it?

Su Jinyan's heart skipped a beat: "Danheng, does the think tank have any other information about the space insect?"

Dan Heng pondered for a moment and said, "The think tank has relatively little information about the Zerg swarm."

"If you want to know the answer to this kind of question, you can ask Ms. Black Tower."

"Lady Black Tower is a wise messenger blessed by the Venerable One of Wisdom, and she will surely be able to resolve your doubts."

Su Jinyan nodded and said, "Xingbao, contact Black Tower for me."
