Work Prophet

Li Yu opened his mouth, but found he couldn't make any sound.

At this moment, Taylor's voice rang out again, "Our new bodies lack a vocal system, but fortunately, we can communicate through consciousness. Otherwise, this journey would be too lonely."

Seemingly sensing some intense emotions from the other side, Taylor then added.

"Don't worry, I can't see what your brain is thinking, just as you can't see what mine is thinking. We can only receive the information that each of us chooses to transmit, like sending a text message."

"You list the recipient, edit the content, and then click send."

Li Yu tried it as he said, "You mentioned a new body earlier, what is a new body?"

"Not bad, it looks like you've grasped it quickly." Taylor said with satisfaction, "The equipment you saw just now allows our consciousness to temporarily detach from our original bodies and attach to this giant squid."

"Is it like the [Rebirth Bell]?"

"You're good at capturing the main point," Taylor said, "This technology indeed has many similarities with the [Rebirth Bell], but it's more advanced.

"You can see the [Rebirth Bell] as an initial achievement of this cutting-edge faith technology, but what we're experiencing now is undoubtedly more exciting than the [Rebirth Bell].

"You and I don't need actual death to complete consciousness transfer, we are now the giant squid."

As Taylor spoke, he raised a tentacle.

It was then that Li Yu realized that it wasn't this "pond" that was too small, but that his new body was too large now.

"Why the giant squid?" Li Yu asked again.

"Good question, we wanted something big for the experiment because if the body size is too small, the frequency of accidents during the experiment would also be higher.

"There are quite a few predators in the ocean. If the experimental object gets eaten halfway through, that would be a great loss."

"In addition, the target must also have a certain level of intelligence. The giant squid has a complex nervous system, and its intelligence level is quite good, roughly equivalent to that of a 3-4-year-old human child, enough to accommodate our consciousness.

"Lastly, the giant squid has one main brain and eight auxiliary brains, which is why we can both attach to this body. However, I, occupying the main brain, can control this body, while you in the auxiliary brain are more like a tourist.

"I can demonstrate how to manipulate this body for you, and when you become familiar with it, I will transfer the control of the main brain to you."

As Taylor spoke, he maneuvered the giant squid, swimming toward the light above.

Soon the giant squid stuck its head out, and then Li Yu saw the villa he lived in.

So it wasn't an illusion when he felt something hiding underwater during his walk by the lake last night.

The Tertiary Era actually raised this experimental subject in the lagoon on the island. And when underwater earlier, without a comparison, Li Yu had no idea how large the new body was.

It wasn't until he saw the houses on the shore that he realized that just one tentacle of his could be thirty or forty meters long.

Li Yu had heard of giant squids before. Although its name includes the word squid, it's actually a type of giant squid, mostly living in the deep sea at a depth of 200-400 meters, where even sunlight cannot reach.

An adult giant squid typically exceeds six meters in length, and it's said the largest can reach more than ten meters.

But the one hidden in the lagoon is obviously exceeding this length, excessively large.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Taylor's voice rang out in his mind again.

"When our people caught it, it was only nine meters long... This length wasn't too safe, so we further enhanced its body, as a reward for its cooperation in our research."

The giant squid rotated its head on the surface for a moment, identified the direction, and then dove back down, heading toward the opening of the lagoon.

But by this time, the tide had receded, and the narrow strip of land at the lagoon's mouth re-emerged, cutting off the connection between the lagoon and the ocean.

Li Yu was still wondering if Taylor intended to crawl over land, but suddenly the two rocks ahead started moving and slowly parted to the sides.

Well, there was a hidden door here all this time.

The Tertiary Era must have been conducting this experiment for quite a long time, with all preparations being very thorough.

The giant squid slipped through the hidden door and finally reached the open ocean outside.

There they also encountered Matty, who was piloting a fishing boat, ready to go out to sea to fish.

The massive body of the giant squid swam beneath the fishing boat.

Like a black ghost, yet Matty paid no attention to it, continuing to steer his little boat toward his destination.

"They know about the existence of this giant squid?" Li Yu asked.

"Yes, they are all employees on the island, it's impossible and unnecessary to hide the experiment from them." Taylor answered.

Saying this, her tone gradually became excited, "It's hunting time."

As the giant squid entered the sea, the school of fish around increased.

But Taylor wasn't interested in those small fish, just controlling the giant squid to keep cruising until they encountered a tiger shark also hunting.

The tiger shark was about three meters long, seemingly weighing about three to four hundred pounds, and was chasing a sea turtle.

It evidently noticed the giant squid as well, recognizing with its limited intelligence that this big one wasn't easy to deal with, yet unwilling to forgo the feast nearly at its mouth.

But just this hesitation allowed the giant squid to approach it, stretching out a tentacle to coil around it.

By the time the tiger shark attempted to swim away, it was too late; as soon as the tentacle touched its body, the suckers latched firmly onto its skin.

At the same time, the tentacle began to constrict, and the tiger shark immediately felt an intense pressure.

It thrashed its tail desperately, trying to break free, but the difference in power was vast, and Li Yu could feel the struggling force on the other end of the tentacle growing weaker and weaker.

This was a truly magical experience, almost like daydreaming.

He could feel his body, sense the surrounding seawater and the tiger shark's resistance, yet he couldn't control his own body.

It was a state between first-person and third-person perspective.

After squeezing the shark to death, the giant squid didn't swallow it but continued to dive, searching for a new target.

Taylor was in a good mood today, hunting seemed to have injected youth and vitality into him.

Soon she spotted a great white shark and hummed a tune as she swam over.
