The idea of having to take into account the load-bearing problem and to complete such a project without alarming the shogunate's secret guards is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

But who told them that they were not ordinary people?

The second one, who has mastered various unscientific supernatural abilities, first uses the ability of [Exploring the Earth] to master the structure of the secret guard base.

Then use [Rapid Excavation], [Wall Digging], [Hole Digging], [Soil Removal], [Stone Wall], [Stone Plastic], [Fossil to Mud], [Mud to Stone], [Earth Skeleton]...... and so on and a series of civil engineering spells.

Like industrious termites, little by little it hollowed out all the space around the secret guard base, and successfully built a "shell base" composed of countless mezzanines, secret rooms, and secret passages.

It's also thanks to the consciousness splits, they all use puppet stand-ins as carriers, and they only need to summon the puppet stand-ins first, and then they use [Mind Projection] to project and control the body, which realizes the effect of "traceless teleportation" in disguise.

A two-one consciousness split can single-handedly build a huge underground base, what can a group of two-one consciousness splits do?

They think that if they are given a certain amount of time, they can dig through the earth!

If it weren't for the fact that every consciousness split had a mess on their hands, Eryi really wanted to try how deep a group of them could dig together.

As for whether this will destroy the plate structure of Fuso, causing the Fuso land to sink ...... This is not in the scope of the second consideration.

In short, after a group of consciousness splits joined forces to complete this huge project, Eryi began to work on the meticulous decoration of the "shell base".

It's really like a moth, digging up and down the secret guard base, inside and out, and laying out countless secret doors.

Then the "infiltration" operation was unconsciously launched, and the first invasion was the local area network in the shogunate's secret guard base, and the spirit pattern AI directly took over all the monitoring of the other party, and then the "replacement operation" began!

Closely monitoring the every move of all the other party's personnel, using secret doors, secret passages, and traps, he secretly caught the lone member of the shogunate's secret guard.

Use soul realm spells such as [Detect Thoughts], [Detect Thoughts], [Thought Probes], and [Flip Through Memory] to steal the opponent's memories and obtain useful information.

Then use [Shared Memory], [Modify Memory], [Erase Memory], [Memory Compilation], plus [Slavery] to brainwash these people into their own puppets...... Otherwise, how do you think the two men got the detailed plan of action of the shogunate guards?

Unfortunately, the Stone of Verne, which he had been looking for, seemed to be highly classified in the secret base.

He "replaced" almost one-third of the secret guards in the entire base, and he couldn't find out who really controlled the secret.

The only useful information is that there seems to be a special unit within the Shogunate Secret Guard, which is more authoritative and secretive, and is directly subordinate to the leader of the Shogunate Party and the leader of the military hawks, called the "Hachimoto Samurai".

The size and authority of this secret force, known as the "Hachimoto Samurai", are unknown, but the existence of the entire shogunate secret guard seems to be at their service, and the research related to the Stone of Verne seems to be in their hands.

The only problem is that this secret force has been hiding in the core of the secret guard base.

And the core area is established in a position where the upper and lower four are not touched and the five are not leaning, and there is no way to use the secret passage of the shell base to get close to this area.

Therefore, in order to find out the truth, when the Shogunate Party ordered the Shogunate Secret Guards to send secret forces of the Shogunate Guards to stop the Hermit's Society.

The puppets controlled by Eryi through [Servitude] sent those members of the Shogunate Secret Guard who were not controlled to death, and those who remained in the secret guard base were basically "their own people" except for those scientific researchers.

Only then did he take Joan to push open the secret door and blatantly enter the secret guard base, ready to get close to the core area to find out.

However, the defense of the core area was completely isolated from the rest of the secret guard base, and none of the puppet personnel under the control of the second guard had the permission to enter and exit.

Just when he was thinking about whether to sneak in directly and violently, the gate of the core area was opened, and a team of strange strong men of nearly 100 people appeared, almost colliding with Er Yi and Qiong, who were hiding near the gate with optical invisibility!

Fortunately, there was such an accident, so that the two of them found an opportunity to blend into the core area...... Thanks to the fact that the Spirit Pattern AI is powerful enough, the moment the core area is opened, the moment the internal and external signals are connected, it invades.

Otherwise, even if the strong men didn't notice them, the various detection devices installed in the internal passages of the core area would have detected their presence and triggered the alarm.

Compared with the secret guard base, the core area is more like a large laboratory, and all the activities are some scientific researchers in white coats, busy conducting experiments, and there is no one in the institution of dozens of people who speaks, silently performing their own duties.

Although it felt that the atmosphere was strange, Eryi and Joan began to investigate the secret laboratory in the core area separately.

While ordering the Spirit Pattern AI to invade all the electronic devices in the laboratory and download all the test data, Er Yi quietly moved close to those large petri dish jars, and was surprised to find that all the stuff inside were all kinds of strange animal specimens!

There are insects, there are guinea pigs, there are pigs, there are silverback gorillas, and even people!

It's just that these biological specimens are all mutated to be unusually large and deformed, and the mice look like wild boars, and they also grow all kinds of strange organs, such as the wings of birds, the tails of scorpions, and the like.

And the sturdy domestic pig simply grew more than a dozen human-like arms, legs and feet, and seventeen or eighteen large and small hearts, hanging out of the body like bunches of grapes!

The silverback gorilla is the most terrifying, the hair on its whole body has fallen off, revealing a purple-black wrinkled skin, and it is soaked in a petri dish in an upright position like a human.

When Eryi got closer to observe, he even woke up the silverback gorilla, and suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him through the tempered glass of the petri dish!

Startled, he thought that the silverback gorilla would get agitated, which would alarm the researchers in the laboratory!
