The tranquility returned to Noland Lee’s mind, he exhaled slowly and started to check the system messages.

His unbearable discomfort and relentless resistance to the alien space noise wasn’t in vain—the passive deconstruction was successfully triggered!

[System Message:]

[You suffered a spiritual attack from “Alien Space Noise!”]

[Since the spiritual attack did not cause substantial negative effects on you, passive deconstruction was triggered as usual.]

[You have obtained the following deconstruction results:]

[1. Text information from spiritual attack: aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ…]

[2. You learned one characteristic of “Alien Space Noise”:]

[Signal Resonance]

[Individuals who hear the alien space noise will become secondary signal sources connected in parallel with the noise signal source. The interference between secondary sources can lead to signal coupling, a phenomenon of synchronous resonance that continuously enhances the signal strength of secondary sources. Partitioning secondary signal sources can prevent the phenomenon of signal resonance and effectively reduce the signal strength of secondary sources.]

Noland Lee glanced at the deconstruction results in his mind, contemplated carefully, and formulated a countermeasure.

He went up to each team member and manually changed their facial orientation and seating arrangement, ensuring that nobody else was in their field of vision.

After he finished, something wonderful happened.

The team members who had previously been experiencing aching heads were suddenly relaxed. The dizziness in their minds and their discomfort had reduced to about one-fifth of their initial state.

Everyone felt surprised as the situation improved and started to turn their heads to exchange glances. As they did so, their symptoms returned with a vengeance.

“Don’t move!”

Noland Lee warned loudly:

“Maintain the position and direction I gave you! Don’t move around! As long as there are no other people in your field of vision, the alien space noise in your mind will not be so intense.”

“Everyone do as Noland Lee said!” Derek Davis roared, nodding at Noland Lee with a confirming expression in his eyes.

The cabin fell silent, with only the sound of sea breeze, night rain, and waves echoing.

After about 3 minutes, the burden on everyone disappeared all at once, as if they had all been freed from invisible shackles.

“We’ve left that sea area,” Hudson announced, wiping the sweat from his brow as he stood in front of the operation console, “It seems that the ritual on the cargo ship can only affect the sea area it’s located in. Miss Esme Smith, please release the alchemical toy ship. We need to seal off that area as soon as possible.”

“It’ll be ready soon, give me a half a minute.”

Miss Esme Smith fiddled with the alchemical toy ship with a multi-function mechanical wrench, picked it up, walked outside the cabin, and tossed it onto the sea surface.

The alchemical array inside the toy ship was activated, and two jets of water spouted from the rear of the ship.

The entire ship accelerated to a speed of 50 kilometers per hour in an instant, shooting into the sea area where the cargo ship resided like a sharp arrow skimming the sea surface.

The sight in front of them was awe-inspiring.

A wall of grey mist rose from the black surface of the sea to reach the sky ten thousand meters high.

Looking back toward the sea area where the cargo ship was located, nothing but a dense grey mist was visible, no signs of sea water, night sky, night rain, or ships.

In this world, the boundary of the sea area is not determined by water depth, sea bottom trend, or ocean currents, but by the Lost Sea Fog.

The edge of the Lost Sea Fog marks the boundary of a sea area.

How did Hudson know that the exploration ship left the previous sea area?

That was the work of the Alchemy Nautical Instrument. This essential alchemy item installed on the control console has a visualization interface covered in grid lines.

The trajectory of the ship will be recorded by the Alchemy Nautical Instrument and presented on the visualization interface that was created with alchemy at a reduced ratio of 10,000:1. The interface presents a clear picture of the vessel’s position, helping the helmsman determine the specific location of the ship.

On the visualization interface, as the ship’s marker crosses the thick line denoting the sea area boundary, it signifies that the ship has left the previous sea area and entered a new one.

Now, the area marked as “Eastern Offshore Zone 117” on the visualization interface was entirely covered by the Lost Sea Fog.

Ships outside the Lost Sea Fog can drive into the fog and forcibly enter that sea area, but they will soon reduce their speed due to the influence of the sea fog until they come to a complete halt.

The Investigation Team Members have encountered the Lost Sea Fog several times at sea and aren’t surprised by it anymore.

The Golden Merchants’ Swords found it curious, they couldn’t help but watch the swirling grey sea fog in fascination.

After getting Miss Esme Smith’s approval, Hudson sailed the ship to the edge of the fog and stopped.

Everyone took off their Alchemy Weaponry in this place, saving their valuable transformation duration for potential battles that could happen later.

Looking at the grey mist less than half a meter away from the external metal plates, Hudson made a bold move.

He grabbed the railing, leaned out of the ship, and stuck his head into the grey mist.

Most of his body was still on the ship, but his head was immersed in the Lost Sea Fog.

After maintaining this position for about a minute, Hudson pulled his head out of the mist, his face was pale but he had a big smile on his face. In excitement, he exclaimed:

“Major discovery, mates! We have to write a new investigation report! After I put my head into the fog, I heard the noise from outer space. But once I took it out, the noise was gone! Do you know what this means, mates! It means that the Lost Sea Fog can block the noise from outer space, it’s not just a simple barrier stopping the ships from advancing!”
