Another transparent device!

But the device in front of her was different from the one before.

As the lights fully dimmed, Lu Xining felt as though she was in a cinema. The difference was that the screen she watched today was unsettlingly shaky.

On the screen was none other than the Dest Strait of the South Atlantic!

The roar of helicopters was intense.

Over there, dawn was just rising—a time said to be the most tranquil and harmonious moment of the Dest Strait every day.

The sea, as dark as ink, looked down from the sky, evoking a stark fear of humanity’s insignificance. Nearby, several helicopters hovered above, each trailing a steel cable beneath them.

In an instant, the footage shifted to another location.

Blackness—endless blackness.

Suddenly, beams of light appeared. It looked like a deep-sea expedition. At first, the crowd didn’t feel anything significant until they saw countless strange creatures never seen before.

Many foreign superhero movies often feature prehistoric crocodiles and sharks as a means of amplifying the viewers’ curiosity and anticipation. That culminates in humanity overcoming prehistoric creatures in a heroic display, interspersed occasionally with emotional entanglements that often leave viewers alternately speechless and cringing.

"Is this supposed to be a movie? The mermaid performance earlier was way better! Though I must say, this movie does seem thrilling. Did you notice the brief glimpse of that octopus tentacle on the screen? It must be as tall as several stories!"

"Something’s off. Why does this seem like a live documentary? Look at the upper left timestamp. I checked—it perfectly aligns with the time in our region, which happens to be... the Dest Strait’s time!"

"Vocal!!! Could this actually be the abyss of the Dest Strait? Who on earth would dare to explore the South Atlantic, a treacherous place where reefs and underwater whirlpools can sink freighters. Is it too late for me to disembark now?"

A few people murmured quietly about the meaning of the scene before their eyes, while others, including Lu Xining and Ji Muye, remained silent.

For everyone present to have achieved their current status, their minds were undoubtedly agile.

Since Lott had claimed the upcoming show would be even more thrilling and stunning than the youthful mermaid performance earlier, it was definitely not just a simple special effects film.

It was highly likely!

The scene unfolding before everyone’s eyes was the depths of the Dest Strait in the South Atlantic.

The thought that someone not only managed to descend into the Dest Strait but even delved to an inconceivable depth to explore these prehistoric creatures sent chills down their spines and filled them with an indescribable sense of danger.

Lott stepped into the shadows as the large screen lit up.

While the crowd focused on the screen, he silently observed them. These people represented the financial support necessary to continue the experiments. With their backing, the research could proceed unhindered.

His blood began to boil, his heart raced, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him. But when he followed the line of sight, he couldn’t locate the person.

Lu Xining had just seen a crazed, desperate resolve on Lott’s face.

Her heart sank further.

Perhaps she had oversimplified things. She originally thought the most severe issue surrounding the Royal Cruise was illegal secret experiments. However, based on the information she had now acquired, it had far surpassed her predictions about the Royal Cruise.

Submarines capable of diving to such depths were mostly held by powerful nations. Yet the Royal Cruise possessed such technology and could freely conduct these clandestine exploratory operations deep in the Dest Strait, showcasing the formidable power behind the Royal Cruise.

If this were discovered, it wouldn’t merely be about the interests of one nation.

This could very well involve the safety of the entire world!

The large screen on the stage continued displaying footage. The beams of light attracted numerous marine creatures to linger. Gradually, sounds began emerging from the speakers beside the screen—eerily resembling the mermaid song they had heard earlier.

In an instant, the beams of light vanished, and the banquet hall plunged into darkness once again.

Strange sounds suddenly reached their ears, as though something was approaching the submarine that emitted the light.

Bang!

The violent noise caused the crowd, who had been intently focused in the hall, to feel their hearts skip a beat and shudder momentarily.

When the large screen resumed displaying images, one of the guests let out a sharp scream: "Ah!!"

Among the startled crowd, a middle-aged man mockingly glanced at the woman beside him and sneered, "What’s with the scream? It’s just an octopus that doesn’t look like a regular species. What’s so scary about that?"

A second later, the octopus’s tentacle effortlessly pierced through the submarine.

Lott’s voice rang out at just the right moment, addressing the crowd, "This unmanned exploration submarine, even more advanced than the latest model you’ve seen in the news—and equipped with superior safety mechanisms—was effortlessly destroyed by it."

And this wasn’t the first time it had pierced through a submarine.

Over the past decades of underwater exploration, they had confirmed that this colossal octopus hailed from billions of years ago.

This creature had already transcended the laws of nature.

Feigning confusion, Lu Xining raised a question, "Mr. Lott, why are you showing us this? No matter if it’s from millions of years ago, it’s not something humanity could ever hope to touch."

Hearing her question, Lott smiled and answered, "Because the serum that restores youth by twenty years, which was injected earlier, was extracted from this grotesque giant octopus."

This revelation caused the crowd, who had initially found the octopus hideous, to suddenly change their perspective. Their eyes now gleamed with a strong possessive desire as though they had glimpsed shining gold.

"We’ve only managed to extract trace amounts of its essence to develop something this miraculous. If we could capture it and study it up close, we could undoubtedly create something that restores life itself."

The elderly wealthy individuals in the crowd were the most visibly affected emotionally!

The way they eyed the octopus seemed as if they wanted to devour it, completely discarding their previous sense of fear.

Lu Xining stared at the footage of the submarine being destroyed by the octopus’s tentacle, leaving nothing but static akin to snowflakes on the screen. She couldn’t care less about whether the creatures carried ancient viruses, but Lott’s restrained demeanor clearly indicated that things weren’t as simple as they appeared.

Lott didn’t seem particularly moved by the way his words instantly stirred the crowd’s emotions.

His gaze fixed on the contemplative Lu Xining, and he said slowly, "But for now, we still need a technological formula—it’s hidden within the ’Deep Sea Heart.’"

The Deep Sea Heart?

So that’s why these people were so intent on getting her aboard the ship?

While the other guests were overcome with excitement, Lu Xining felt as though she was on the brink of uncovering all the answers.

The treasure her grandfather had concealed...

The reason her mother had instructed her grandmother to send the jade bracelet to Shang Lvxing...

Lu Xining had thought she was entangled in a wealthy family feud, but it turned out to be a technological revolution?

If this were the plot of a novel, it would unquestionably make readers drop it in frustration.

Lost in thought, her hand was suddenly gripped tightly by a large palm reaching out from beside her. Lu Xining turned her head, "???"
