"Another batch of slop?" In the dimly lit basement, Bo'er was tallying up a list of disheveled but unconscious slaves.
This was Planet S2971, a no-man's land, unclaimed by any power because it held no value, thus it had become a hub for interstellar slave traders.
"Yes, they were stolen from a laboratory, the ones that came out of the Endless Abyss that obliterated the Blue Song Civilization not long ago," the person said nonchalantly as he tossed an unconscious body into the prison.
This piqued Bo'er's interest, "This is a rare commodity that could fetch a good price."
Scarcity increases value, a fact known to all.
All interstellar civilizations were intensely curious about the special civilization of the Endless Abyss, and there were multiple high-paying commissions on the black market for acquiring an Abyss Spirit Monster, though none had been met so far.
