[Big Gums]

Having gained the recognition from the Deep Sea, and accepting a special task from Fish Origin, this ship was acknowledged by the deep waters, thus no further disguise in the deep sea was necessary—full speed ahead was possible, even with the boost of the seawater.

The seawater in the ship’s corridors was completely drained, restoring them to a dry state.

Four people were gathered around a table in the corner of the dining area, eating breakfast and engaging in a discussion.

William began with a slight apology, "I’m really sorry for involving Miss Jessica as well;

when the time comes, I will ask the captain to stop the ship at a nearby continent, and you can find a passage back to the Old World."

Jessica, with a mask hung on one ear and dot-like pupils, glanced at William briefly before retractively her gaze subtly.

"Fish Origin has completely set its sights on us—if there is any deviation in the ship’s course, the ocean probably won’t allow it;

docking near a continent is even less likely. I don’t mind being involved, it’s all the same to me since I don’t have much going on recently.

Could you please elaborate on the Silver Ocean? To actually wrest control of the ocean from Fish Origin, who could possibly have such capability? Is it the ’friend’ you mentioned before?"

"Yes, it indeed involves my friend~ but I never expected him to occupy a part of the ocean, I have no idea what he is actually up to.

As for the silver, it is directly related to his illness~ he is the origin of Lunar Illness in this world."

"What!?" The dentist was suddenly shocked, this identity was no small matter.

With the moon of the Old World long shattered, once the two worlds combined, this person would possess a status equivalent to that of the former Moon Queen.

"I still have a pretty good relationship with him, it’s just that there have recently been some unpleasant matters. This time I plan to go apologize and then ask him for a favor~ that’s roughly it.

As for the sea being dyed silver, we will see how it goes when we get there. Fortunately, Fish Origin hasn’t mandated us to kill anyone;

we just need to provide enough evidence.

By the way! I just remembered something! My friend is very interested in medicine;

he even opened his own clinic on the Moon."

This last remark piqued Dentist Jessica’s interest completely;

she even put down her knife and fork, leaning forward with her arms resting on the table.

"Hmm? How does the Moon relate to medicine? The queen of the previous Old World was not proficient in medicine at all.

What’s the standard of his medical skills?"

William spread his hands, "I’m an outsider myself, so I don’t know how to answer that.

But from my experience, his medical standards are very high, and he also brought a medical team that can handle various high-difficulty surgeries.

Since Miss Jessica will be joining us, maybe you can visit the clinic when we get there;

being more professional, you might even share some medical knowledge with him."

"Hmm! Sure!"

With this, Jessica was fully integrated into the team and motivated by personal reasons.

Principal Daislin, also seated at the table, overheard their conversation;

she could clearly discern the speech techniques William was using,

and had even begun setting traps for Jessica from the initial physical examination, tying her step-by-step to their group.

For a moment, Daislin felt her former student, with whom she had meditated across planets, seemed somewhat unfamiliar, even occasionally spotting an odd mask over William’s face, covering his eyes and nose with his hands, leaving only the mouth exposed.

Reflecting on this, Daislin cut a piece of foie gras, enhanced it with Star Energy, and actively offered it to Jessica with a fork.

Jessica also immediately turned her head, her expression flickering with puzzlement—perhaps she had never been fed by someone else.

But seeing that the feeder was Daislin and the surface of the foie gras was rich with Star Energy, she chose to swallow it in one gulp.

Watching the dentist eat the foie gras, Daislin said gently, "Jessica, stick close to me after we reach the Silver Ocean, I can pre-empt any dangers."

"Thank you, sister."

The Star particles mixed in the foie gras markedly cleared Jessica’s brain, making her consider the potential dangers of their next moves, rather than just focusing on the Moon and the clinic.

[Night]

Jessica, exhausted from a day of medical check-ups, fell asleep and had a rather solid rest tonight after achieving some results with today’s examinations.

William still chose to sleep alone in the bathtub, keeping as much distance as possible from the two ladies.

In the middle of the night, without the bathroom door being opened, an additional person appeared in the bathroom. The Principal leaned against the wall just like yesterday, but with a much colder expression.

"William, you started plotting the moment you set foot in Deep Tooth, didn’t you?

Despite the urgency, you deliberately opted for a medical check-up, creating a challenging scenario for the local hospital, which attracted the Old World’s Silver Circle Dentist. Through your means, you tricked them into boarding the ship, and step by step, you led them to join us.

Such tactics completely contradict the demeanor of a gentleman;

the old you was never this scheming."

The bathroom area dark and devoid of light,

William, lying back in the bathtub, had his head conveniently shielded by darkness, obscuring any discernible expression.

"Principal, you are correct. Recruiting dentist Jessica was indeed a scheme and manipulation of mine all along—but initially, that was not my intention.

When I arrived at the port city, it was my first time hearing about Teeth Hall, and I also wanted to understand my own deficiencies, so I spent a little time experiencing the medical standards of the Old World.

It was just that Miss Jessica’s unexpected arrival allowed me to seize the opportunity.

The reason I acted so was due to a bad premonition, feeling that the risks of this trip would far exceed expectations. As Fish Origin made its move, I became even more certain of this, Lorrian’s current state is highly abnormal, even going so far as to silverize the sea.

With Miss Jessica’s presence, our survival rate would be significantly increased.

This will be the only time I resort to such despicable methods, I truly apologize... perhaps due to my prolonged separation from the organization, I had forgotten my gentlemanly identity."

The Principal did not respond and in a blink of an eye, William was alone in the bathroom again.

At that moment, William’s back began to wriggle, and the ’Second One’ embedded within slowly crawled up, its face resting beside his ear, the Death Aura even completely darkening the bathtub.

"Aha~ William, is it because you’ve been in contact with me lately, and your unexpected journey to that world has granted you a different understanding of human nature?

It’s okay. Just proceed according to your own thoughts, and don’t mind the perceptions of others.

Pulling in the dentist was a clear choice, the challenges we are about to face inevitably concerns the entire Moon.

After all, if I were Lorrian, I would be so resentful that I would want to flay you and eat you up completely, bones and all, to relieve my anger."

William, his face hidden in the darkness, did not respond to Yi Chen’s words but spoke of something else:

"The sea being silverized, our rights stripped away, even Fish Origin specifically sent someone to negotiate with us, hoping we could help investigate. This shows that the people they sent were unable to retrieve effective information, or couldn’t bring out any at all.

Once our ship reaches the Silver Sea Domain, we will be exposed immediately,

Just as you said, Yi Chen, Lorrian is likely harboring intense hatred towards me—thus, my identity must not be exposed immediately.

When the time comes, you take over the control of my body, erase all traces related to me, first investigate what exactly is happening inside the Silver Sea Domain, and then try to make a moon landing."

"Hey, hey, hey, you’re going to fully utilize even me?"

"It doesn’t matter, if you, Yi Chen, are unwilling, then I’ll just have Nash collaborate with me for combined disguise, which should also conceal my identity for a short duration."

"Alright~ alright~ After all, this is for both of our benefits. Remember to call me then, William~"

...

After a full ten days,

following the direction indicated by William, the captain finally arrived at the anticipated destination: a sea shimmering with silver light was in sight, frightening the crew enough to immediately halt the ship.

William’s Moon Transformation Sensing peaked here, but as he stood on the deck looking up at the sky, he could not see any moon hanging there.
