"Master!" Zhao Ge looked panic-stricken.

"Heh!" "Chao Shu" looked at him, a trace of ridicule in her eyes.

"Rest assured, even if I change vessels, your little lover will not die. On the contrary, you should be happy.

Because... she is free!"

Free?

The word seemed to possess some magical power, leaving Zhao Ge momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until he met "Chao Shu's" cold gaze that he awoke as if from a dream, a cold sweat covering his back.

"Master, after changing vessels, you will undoubtedly be stronger; my siblings and I will only work harder to serve the Divine Race!

Humans are like lone sails about to capsize, only the Divine Race is the true ark sailing towards freedom!"

Freedom?

That is merely a luxury.

Whether controlling him as a pawn or eliminating the risk of leaks, Chao Shu could never obtain freedom.

"Hehe!" "Chao Shu" nodded with satisfaction.

She didn't care if Zhao Ge truly thought this way because they would never return the Clan's "body" to their "will"...

"Oh right, Master, or rather, now it should be Director!

As for Xiao Yu's whereabouts, can't you use a spiritual link to sense her general location?"

"I can't. Xiao Yu is connected to the Director's Spiritual Synchronization; currently, only the Director can remotely sense her presence.

Even the 'Nest' can only sense her through the Director.

It's like the human nervous system; if the spinal nerve serving as the link is severed, no matter how strong the signals from the brain are, they cannot be perceived by your lower limbs."

Seemingly pleased with the new title, "Chao Shu" candidly revealed some secrets of Spiritual Synchronization.

To these Clans with life and death under her control, aside from some core secrets, she naturally had no need to keep silent.

Zhao Ge nodded.

Although there is something akin to a central brain in the form of the "Nest," the divisions and hierarchy among the Divine Race are actually quite clear.

Without special circumstances, the "Nest" wouldn't be attentive to every detail.

Though all are controlled by the "Nest," each Divine Race member is still an independent individual, seemingly influenced by parasitic Clans, possessing unique thought processes and personality traits.

After being together for a long time, he gradually figured out this "Master's" habits and preferences...

"So given the current situation, we must gather intelligence and send out the Listener to re-establish contact.

Go, investigate her whereabouts; I want that girl..."

After saying this, "Chao Shu's" expression suddenly softened, as if another personality surfaced, coldness gradually turning into animation.

"Hmm? Brother, where is this..."

A somewhat bemused Chao Shu tilted her head, looking puzzled at the park surroundings.

But the next moment, as if sensing familiar scenes, her pale eyes suddenly directed towards the orphanage, and her whole body started trembling.

"Bro... Brother, is this... this..."

"Xiao Shu, don't be afraid! I'm here."

A bit distressed, he gently embraced Chao Shu.

Zhao Ge looked up, eyes complexly focused on the distant, mottled orphanage walls.

There... was once their "home."

But simultaneously it was... the deepest source of their inner fears...

And today, has that source of misfortune suddenly vanished?

The terrifying devil-like director who created them, yet led them into the abyss... died so effortlessly?!

His despairing heart stirred slightly.

That overwhelmingly dark fate seemed to hold a glimmer of light.

Was this a mere joke of destiny, or... that hope buried deep in his heart long ago, almost never to be fantasized about again... hope?

Sensing Chao Shu's tightly trembling grasp around himself.

At this moment, Zhao Ge's gaze was unfathomable...
