If Su Zimai makes a fuss and insists on following, then Gu Wenyu would have to use a restraint trap to tie her up.
Now Su Zimai is lying on her side in bed, eyes closed, looking so peaceful, with even breathing; she probably has no intention of making trouble.
Thinking of this, Gu Wenyu withdrew the corner of his gaze from the bed and continued to look at the sea.
After a while, as the sun completely sank below the horizon, the world reflected in Gu Wenyu's pupils dimd, with the sea and the port turning pitch black.
He picked up a mask with dark red patterns from the ground beside him, then pulled a phone out of his coat pocket using a restraint belt, and dialed an anonymous call.
"Who is it?" Before long, the voice of Ke Qirui ca from the other side of the phone.
"It's ... Miss Ke Qirui." Black Cocoon activated the voice changer on the mask, speaking unhurriedly.
Ke Qirui was silent for a mont, then her tone turned strongly incredulous:
"Gu Wenyu?"
"Yes," Black Cocoon replied, "We haven't been in touch for a long ti."
"Where are you?" Ke Qirui imdiately asked.
"I'm in Reykjavik, in a rental flat at the western port, and Su Zimai is also with . I need you to co here to find her and take her away safely. Then you and she should leave Iceland imdiately," Black Cocoon said, "But only you can co alone; Gu Zhuo Case, Gu Qiye, Lin Yilong, and Su Wei have to head to Hof Glacier together."
He paused, slightly narrowing his eyes, "Otherwise, I won't release her."
"You're talking about them—they set off together just an hour ago," Ke Qirui said. "With Su Wei's Teaching Ruler speed, they probably won't take long to reach Hof Glacier..." She paused, "Though I don't know what you've been through, there's no need for you to do this. Your family cares about you more than you think."
Black Cocoon was silent for a mont, "Save the nice words, co to the port to pick her up. I'll wait until you get here to depart."
With that, he hung up the phone, then turned his head to glance at Su Zimai on the bed.
She had her back to him, still lying with her eyes closed, pretending to sleep, seemingly not wanting this parting to be too embarrassing and sudden. She simply chose to feign ignorance without saying a word.
At this mont, Black Cocoon suddenly closed his eyes slightly, and the perspective from his real body sent back a stir.
....

"Restricted-level Superpower User, Number—1001, Ji Minghuan, ntor visiting, quickly prepare to get up."
A cold voice rang out from the broadcast equipnt, and then the lights in the entire detention room turned on layer by layer with a "pop". The dazzling curtain of light spread across Ji Minghuan's face, waking him up from the bed.
"Coming to find at this point... what for..." Ji Minghuan sat up from the bed and turned his head to look at the ntor coming in from outside the door, "Are you planning to let 1003 eat ?"
"No, just taking you to see Restricted-level 1003, let's go."
The ntor said while stopping at the door, lifting his eyes to look at his face.
"Finished?" Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow.
"Just one last step."
With that, the ntor had already walked out of the tal door, entering the world within the curtain of light.
Ji Minghuan hesitated for a mont, then got out of bed and followed the ntor's steps.
He stepped into the seemingly endless corridor, following every step the ntor took. After a while, they entered an elevator.
Ji Minghuan opened half of his eyes. This elevator was very special; he had never seen it before. The elevator panel was filled with floor numbers, too many to morize.
The ntor pressed the button for the fifth underground floor, and the elevator began to descend. In a mont, the elevator doors opened slowly with a "ding".
They lifted their heads and saw a spacious area, but it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was hidden in the shadows, only the sound of liquid sloshing could be heard.
Suddenly, the center of the space emitted a glow of green light, hitting his face, causing Ji Minghuan to squint slightly, but his eyes soon adapted, and his pupils contracted slightly, allowing him to see the scene before him.
"What is this... Dr. Octopus?" Ji Minghuan's lips moved as he murmured curiously.
In sight was a large tank filled with nutrient solution, containing a naked boy. The boy's body was covered with a tallic skin, with chanical tentacles protruding from his back, and his hair and eyes were void-like black.
At this mont, the boy was crouched with his head down, hugging his knees, his thin body rising and falling within the nutrient tank, his long black hair swaying like seaweed in the liquid.
"This is... Restricted-level 1003," the ntor suddenly spoke, his voice haunting.
"I feel like you have so misunderstanding about the term 'Restricted-level'," Ji Minghuan remarked nonchalantly.
The ntor remained unfazed, "1003 can absorb others' powers, given ti, he can beco the most powerful superpower user in the world."
He paused, "Then... 1003 will absorb your powers too, freeing you."
Isn't this my Black Cocoon? But devouring powers is just one of my abilities. I can even encompass Celestial Driver and Oddities. In comparison, 1003's abilities are indeed a degraded version... Ji Minghuan thought to himself.
"My brother has beco his sacrifice, right?" He was silent for a mont, then asked.
