After Lin Ye left, Ayla stayed alone inside the Massive Tendril Monster. Outside the window, only pitch-black seawater could be seen.
A figure in a protective suit appeared behind Ayla, but she didn't notice them, still staring out the window.
The figure reached their hand toward Ayla. Just as they were about to strike, a tendril pierced through their chest.
That tendril contracted continuously like a soft straw. The mont the tendril struck them, the figure completely lost the ability to struggle, watching helplessly as the tendril slowly drained them dry.
Ayla turned around and saw a cute-looking red octopus lying on the ground behind her.
That octopus seed a bit uncomfortable, crawling slowly on the ground, its tendrils twitching slightly.

In only half an hour, Lin Ye smoothly completed his research on those special experintal subject samples.
He alienated a large number of organizational structures related to black matter inside his body.
These organizational structures had different functions. Lin Ye could rely on the coordination of various structures to briefly control the black matter.
After finishing his research on the experintal subject samples, Lin Ye left the specin storage room and began inspecting the lowest level of the entire laboratory.
Not only was this the control center of the entire laboratory, but it was also where this laboratory stored its important items.
After a brief investigation, Lin Ye found so information about black matter in the central control room and obtained a piece of information through those materials.
That information was that the original sample of Deep Well Substance was stored here.
That original sample was stored in the most secure location in the laboratory, underground beneath the central control room.
'Why do these people always like hiding this kind of stuff in the basent?'
Lin Ye's ntal energy couldn't penetrate the floor of the central control room, so he could only find the location where the original sample was stored according to the blueprints.
At that location, Lin Ye found a hidden door leading to the basent. After facial recognition, he smoothly entered the underground space.
Inside the underground space, so research materials about Deep Well Substance were stored. In the center of the underground space, there was a two-ter-tall cylindrical transparent container.
Inside the container wasn't black matter, but a white substance. That substance flowed continuously inside the container, like so kind of living creature.
Lin Ye didn't approach the container. The white substance inside should be the Deep Well Substance ntioned in the docunts. Although he could now resist the transformation of black matter, this white substance was uncertain.
However, as he observed that white substance, he suddenly discovered that the white substance in front of him wasn't sealed inside the container but existed in the sa space as the container.
Part of the white substance flowed out of the container without any obstruction.
'...No wonder this idiotic laboratory ended up like this. It would be strange if it didn't turn out this way, right?'
Lin Ye wanted to return to the main control room and reseal this underground space, but before he could act, that white substance had already rged into his body.
"Damn it!"
Lin Ye hurriedly checked the xenomorph body, but that white substance had already disappeared, leaving no trace at all.
'...Truly impossible to guard against. I should never have co down.'
Lin Ye hadn't been able to react at all just now because the flow speed of that white substance was much faster than his thinking speed.
'I hope it will only affect this body...'
But Lin Ye felt that things probably weren't that simple.
Returning to the central control room, Lin Ye carefully checked again. After confirming there was nothing left behind, he left the underground laboratory and returned to the vicinity of the Massive Tendril Monster.
This ti, when Lin Ye passed through that black area, he didn't feel that transformation state but instead experienced so kind of comfortable sensation.
"Nobody ca while I was gone, right?"
Lin Ye returned inside the Massive Tendril Monster and said to Ayla, who was sitting by the window holding the octopus.
"No, it's been so quiet here it felt like I was the only person in the entire world."
Ayla put down the octopus and took out a card from a spatial item.
"My teleportation item can be used now. Do you need to leave now?"
Ayla didn't want to be a hindrance here.
"That should be because sothing went wrong above... Well, that's fine. Let's stop here for now. I've run into a small problem on my end anyway."
Lin Ye had originally planned to go up and find the enemy's lair, at least to destroy one of the enemy's bases, but that white substance just now made him feel uneasy. He wanted to leave this body as soon as possible and return to the Shelter.
Besides, that Abyssal creature looked very difficult to deal with, and with that giant shadow that was probably an experintal subject, there seed to be no need to go up anymore.
Judging from those materials and the scale of the Fishing Competition, the Organizers definitely weren't so small force. This place was probably just one of the Organizers' bases.
There would be plenty of ti later. Lin Ye decided to temporarily keep this matter in mind and make them pay the next ti he encountered them.
"Then I'll head back. See you later."
Ayla waved at Lin Ye, then touched the octopus's tendrils before leaving this Plane through the teleportation item.
"See you."
Lin Ye disbanded the Parasitism Network and released the Massive Tendril Monster before returning to the asylum through so kind of connection.

"Was the Fishing Competition fun?"
The young girl leaned against the hospital bed, squinting as she asked.
"You didn't see that the competition was problematic and just sent in to take the fall, did you?"
Lin Ye looked at the young girl with suspicion in his eyes.
"Of course not. That Fishing Competition isn't a mandatory event anyway. Besides, because the person distributing the qualifications was very reputable, so many people were willing to participate. Sothing happened, didn't it?"
The young girl looked at Lin Ye with confusion. She felt that compared to before, Lin Ye seed to have undergone so subtle change.
"Yeah, but I run into similar incidents all the ti, nothing special."
Lin Ye roughly described what happened over there, especially the underground laboratory.
"Deep Well... I think I've heard of sothing similar, but I'm not sure if it's the sa place. I'll help you ask my friends about it."
The young girl sat up straight, stared at Lin Ye for a mont, then leaned back against the pillow again.
"That white substance didn't affect your Consciousness. As for other aspects, that's not my area of expertise, but the system should be able to solve most problems."
"Then I'll head back for now. I should be fine once I return to the Shelter."
Even though the young girl hadn't found any problems, Lin Ye still felt that he hadn't gotten rid of that white substance. He would only feel at ease after returning to the Shelter.
