    Chapter 292

    In Su Hao's view, the rebel's sudden disappearance could only mean one thing.

    They had mastered the ability to freely travel between the Main Star and the Secondary Star.

    Since the twin Spatial Module corresponding to the Main Star generally existed above the Secondary Star, once a person's mental tentacles resonated with the spatial network and opened a passage, the destination would inevitably be the Secondary Star.

    As long as someone possessed the balancing technology that allowed humans to survive spatial transit, traveling between the two worlds would be no different from summoning or dismissing a summoned beast.

    According to Su Hao's speculation, the Resistance Association had already mastered the technology for creating a human balancer.

    As for short-range teleportation within the Main Star, that technology was still firmly controlled by the Custodial Agency.

    The relationship between the world's major powers was surprisingly simple despite appearing complicated.

    The Custodial Agency coveted the Resistance Association's human teleportation technology for traveling to the Secondary Star.

    The Resistance Association coveted the Custodial Agency's short-range teleportation technology.

    The Summoner Association coveted the technologies possessed by both the Custodial Agency and the Resistance Association.

    Meanwhile, the World Federation coveted the Summoner Association's military strength...

    ...and envied the extraordinary status the Summoner Association enjoyed.

    Once the layers were stripped away, everyone's objectives were remarkably straightforward.

    What puzzled Su Hao was something else.

    With the Custodial Agency's research capabilities, why hadn't they mastered the human balancing technology first?

    Instead, the Resistance Association had somehow taken the lead.

    There had to be something hidden behind this that he didn't yet understand.

    Su Hao looked at Yashan.

    "I want to see it myself."

    "The next time you move to capture one of their managers, bring me with you."

    Yashan immediately nodded.

    "Of course, Boss Wei."

    "I'll finish editing this video first. Once it's uploaded, we'll set out."


    ---

    As Yashan busied himself with editing, Su Hao silently considered another possibility.

    "If they can instantly escape to the Secondary Star, I won't have time to react once they become alert."

    "The only way is to subdue them before they realize what's happening."

    "Or..."

    "Develop a method to lock space itself."

    With that thought, Su Hao returned to his laboratory.

    His mental tentacles spread outward once more, sensing the strange fluctuations permeating space.

    The structure of space remained as mysterious as ever.

    Twisted.

    Chaotic.

    Yet strangely orderly.

    He quietly observed the countless Spatial Modules expanding, contracting, intertwining, and flowing throughout the surrounding space.


    ---

    "If I want to interrupt teleportation..."

    "Where should I begin?"

    "The key clearly lies in the Spatial Modules themselves."


    ---

    Time slowly passed.

    While observing the constantly shifting Spatial Modules, Su Hao suddenly noticed something unusual.

    A newly born cluster of Spatial Modules expanded rapidly, compressing the surrounding modules.

    At the same time...

    Several nearby Spatial Modules quietly disappeared.

    A flash of inspiration struck him.

    "Disappearance!"

    He suddenly remembered one of the Custodial Agency's ongoing research projects.

    Project KFK-1380.

    Its objective...

    Was precisely to study the disappearance of Spatial Modules.


    ---

    Realization dawned on him.

    "So that's it..."

    "The Custodial Agency has already begun researching spatial locking technology."

    He couldn't help but smile.

    "The Resistance Association probably has no idea that the Custodial Agency is already digging at the foundation of their greatest advantage."

    In Su Hao's opinion...

    If things continued this way...

    The ultimate victor of this world would almost certainly be the Custodial Agency.

    Knowledge alone did not determine everything.

    But knowledge combined with technology...

    Often determined almost everything.


    ---

    Entering the Marble Space, Su Hao carefully reviewed the research data he had obtained from Project KFK-1380.

    After reading through it, he slowly opened his eyes.

    "As expected..."

    "It's another specialized magnetic field."

    He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

    "In that case..."

    "I'll need another rune."

    "A Force Field Detection Rune."

    "Once I can directly observe those magnetic fields..."

    "I'll be able to derive their parameters myself."


    ---

    From that day onward, Su Hao buried himself entirely in research.

    Day and night blended together.

    Experiments.

    Calculations.

    Repeated failures.

    Then more experiments.


    ---

    A week later, Yashan knocked on the laboratory door.

    "Boss Wei."

    "Rebel Butcher 003 just sent a report."

    "He discovered suspicious Resistance Association activity in Qingnan City, about five hundred kilometers from here."

    "I'm planning to stake it out tonight."

    "Would you like to come along?"

    Su Hao immediately put aside the rune design he was working on.

    "Of course."


    ---

    After dinner, the two activated their Light Absorption Runes and quietly rose into the night sky.

    Flying at low altitude, they headed toward Qingnan City.

    Less than an hour later, they landed outside the city and entered on foot.

    Night gradually deepened.

    The city lights illuminated the streets below.

    The two silently moved across rooftops like shadows.

    If anyone happened to notice them...

    They would have looked like two silent guardians patrolling the sleeping city.


    ---

    It wasn't until nearly two o'clock in the morning that Su Hao finally spoke.

    "Two kilometers east."

    "There are two unconscious children."

    "Let's take a look."

    The two immediately changed direction.

    Soon, they discovered a summoned beast quietly carrying two men toward the outskirts of the city.

    Each man was carrying a large sack.

    They had found them.

    Yashan silently switched on the portable camera attached to his chest.


    ---

    One trafficker whispered,

    "After this job, we'll finally reach our quota."

    "Then we're quitting."

    His companion nodded repeatedly.

    "This business is getting too dangerous."

    "It isn't worth it anymore."

    "What if we run into the Rebel Butcher tonight?"

    "We'd be finished."

    "Shut your mouth!"

    "You'll jinx us!"

    "What? I was just saying—"

    "I told you to shut up!"


    ---

    Following the two men from a distance, Su Hao watched them enter a dilapidated rental house.

    They placed the two unconscious children inside one of the rooms before sighing with relief.

    Without lingering, the two traffickers quickly left.

    They had clearly made up their minds to abandon this line of work.

    Neither Su Hao nor Yashan paid them any attention.

    They quietly hid nearby and waited.

    The person they truly wanted...

    Had yet to arrive.

    Under Su Hao's perception, the two traffickers had no possibility of escaping anyway.


    ---

    Nearly half an hour later...

    A heavily made-up woman dressed in revealing clothes slowly approached the rental house.

    She unlocked the door and walked inside.

    Su Hao narrowed his eyes.

    This was the person they had been waiting for.


    ---

    The woman was extremely cautious.

    Two invisible summoned beasts were silently lurking nearby.

    Hidden in the shadows, a large black cat quietly observed the surroundings, prepared to react at any moment.


    ---

    Without making a sound, Su Hao sank into the ground.

    He moved directly beneath the woman.

    The next instant—

    He burst upward.

    Before the woman could react, Su Hao seized her throat and slammed her violently onto the ground.

    Boom!

    The ground shook.

    "Level Two — Lightning."

    A violent current surged directly into her body.

    The woman's entire body convulsed violently.

    Her internal organs were instantly scorched.

    Even then, Su Hao wasn't satisfied.

    He grabbed a loose brick from the nearby wall.

    Activating the Hard Rune, he smashed it straight onto her forehead.

    Bang!

    Her body trembled.

    Her eyes rolled upward.

    She immediately lost consciousness.

    Only then did Su Hao finally relax.

    If he had hesitated even a moment...

    She might already have escaped to the Secondary Star.


    ---

    Without wasting any time, Su Hao infused Blood Qi into her head, copied her consciousness into the Marble Space, and sealed it inside an isolated Black Room.


    ---

    Yashan lowered his voice.

    "Boss Wei..."

    "You're incredible."

    "I've learned another way to capture people."

    "I'll go catch those two traffickers and practice."

    Su Hao nodded.


    ---

    Walking over to the sacks, Su Hao untied them.

    Inside lay two unconscious children.


    ---

    A few moments later, Yashan returned carrying the two traffickers.

    He searched the unconscious woman's body, retrieved her phone, unlocked it using her fingerprint, and dialed the local police.

    Changing his voice, he calmly said,

    "There are two kidnapped children at Rental House 104, XXX Street."

    "Come immediately."

    He ended the call and looked toward Su Hao.

    "Boss Wei."

    "Let's wait until the police take the children away."

    Su Hao nodded.


    ---

    Only after confirming that the children had been safely rescued did the two leave.

    Carrying their three captives, they took to the skies once again.

    Flying at low altitude, they returned to their hidden base.


    ---

    After arriving, Yashan immediately began preparing everything for another recording.

    Three cameras were positioned to capture every angle of the room.

    Just as he reached out to wake the woman...

    Su Hao suddenly stopped him.

    "Wait."

    With a wave of his hand, Su Hao summoned a giant black wasp.

    This was his second Primordial Sovereign, one that had never been entrusted to the Custodial Agency.

    Countless invisible parasitic units quietly entered the woman's body.

    Only after confirming that the parasitism had been completed did Su Hao leave the room.

    "You can begin."

    Yashan nodded.

    He stepped forward and awakened the woman.

    Slowly opening her eyes, she looked around before suddenly laughing.

    The laughter was almost hysterical.

    "So..."

    "You're Rebel Butcher No. 000."

    "This is your execution chamber, isn't it?"

    "I've watched your videos before."

    "I never imagined..."

    "I'd have the honor of seeing it in person."
