Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 212 Hu Yi

The vertical volcano slowly tilted like the sky, and soon it would topple over the dome.

At this moment, the surging spiritual energy fluctuations in Chen Ming's own body were being absorbed by the purgatory core in his hand that had been charged to the extreme.

All psychic energy fluctuations are restrained within the core by the isolation material of the purgatory core, without any excess escaping.

Chen Ming suddenly felt inspired when he saw this scene, but now was not the time to worry about it.

He controlled the core of Purgatory and instantly transferred most of the entropy inside the magma at the foot of the vertical volcano that had melted and started to tilt to the naked eye to the surroundings.

Under the premise that all psychic energy fluctuations are transformed into the most practical effects.

The effect and scope of entropic transfer have become so powerful that even the force of nature cannot resist it.

The flowing magma solidified in the blink of an eye, and terrifying heat filled the surroundings of the volcano.

But the volcano that was still flowing with magma and began to collapse has become a pure and solid pillar of cold rock.

The pouring movement has stopped, and Chen Ming's operation seems...successful?

But the more he communicates, the more difficult it becomes for Chen Ming to deal with all the problems.

They appear to be a rescue team.

The mental power given by the ship spirit is temporary and will dissipate immediately if not used. He must seize the time to deal with the three volcanoes.

He can't stop yet.

This not only requires a huge investment of mental power, but also requires Chen Ming to focus on transferring the entropy inside the bottom magma and find a suitable opening specifically for channeling the magma.

The spiritual power of the ship spirit instantly filled the gap in the spiritual power consumed by Chen Ming.

Although he himself would most likely survive, the dome would definitely be gone.

In just a few minutes, an amount of mental energy that once took days was consumed.

Just when Chen Ming was a little surprised, he suddenly discovered that magma was pouring out from under the second volcano that he had controlled.

Some soldiers of the Fourteenth Legion wearing extremely thick heat-insulated power armor walked down from above.

Chen Ming was forced to control the core of purgatory and control the entropy of the three surrounding volcanoes.

But this shouldn't be impossible.

Otherwise, this entropy will accumulate underground, and sooner or later there will be another volcanic eruption.

Just after they came down.

Obviously, the magma inside the volcanic column has not drained out and accumulated at the bottom of the mountain. The bottoms of the two volcanoes have already begun to melt, and they may collapse at any time.

It seems that the people of the 14th Legion took the initiative to blast those volcanoes, solving the problem that they might hit the dome after they fell.

And at the moment when the magma at the bottom of the volcano stopped.

And just when the second volcano became active again, the magma activity of the third and fourth volcanoes suddenly became more active.

Chen Ming not only felt that his mind was empty, but his consciousness was blurred unconsciously.

Otherwise, whenever a volcano collapses, there will be no difference between the dome and its disappearance.

Others, whether they are bosses, presidents, or even Yan Xiong, should have the ability to fight against an entire planet.

The moment Chen Ming was ready to invest his mental power again.

The somewhat chaotic brain suddenly became sober.

"You damn thing, aren't you a loser?"

Chen Ming even felt that what he was doing was in vain.

The raging magma that was flowing to the outside at the bottom of the three volcanoes suddenly stabilized and stopped flowing to the outside.

At this moment, near Chen Ming's body, the ship spirit, which had been staying at the highest point, suddenly felt something and poked out its almost substantial head from the hull.

He could hardly bear it anymore.

It was obvious that the magma supporting this volcano had already erupted before and was all piled up at the foot of the mountain, but now more magma has appeared. This is definitely not good news for Chen Ming.

But the magma under the three volcanoes seems to be endless, and the entropy that needs to be dissipated seems to flow out from the core of the entire volcanic planet, which cannot be dealt with at all.

Chen Ming suddenly saw a bright light flashing for a moment on the mountainside of the three surrounding volcanoes, and something exploded on the mountainside.

After sizing up Chen Ming, who was covering his head for a short while, it became blurred and penetrated directly into Chen Ming's body.

After the flash of light, all three volcanoes collapsed on the spot, shattering into pieces without any inclination and piled up on the ground.

This scene that came to an abrupt end made Chen Ming, who had just prepared, feel as if he had been unable to sneeze in the middle of a sneeze.

The only psychics Chen Ming knew were Shao Yang, who, like him, had just become a psychic.

Chen Ming nodded to the ship spirit and once again transferred the spiritual power given by the ship spirit to the prosthetic body.

Chen Ming saw several destroyers landing outside the dome.

The difficulty of a person's struggle with the planet is somewhat unbearable.

However, whether to stop or not is not determined by Chen Ming's own thoughts, but by his mental strength.

It was obvious that his mental energy was constantly being consumed, and he was becoming more and more tired.

Chen Ming's desperate efforts in spiritual energy during this period should not be able to deal with these small volcanoes.

Although this collapsing volcano also caused violent ground shaking, the current shaking no longer poses any threat to Chen Ming.

And on the ground near the dome.

Chen Ming saw someone wearing armor wading through the magma, arranging special explosives, and actively blasting holes in the ground to drain the magma deep underground.

In addition, some people climbed to the top of the dome, seemingly to check for damage to the dome.

Others came to the laboratory wrapped in metallic liquid.

Just when they were looking at each other in confusion, the metallic liquid in front of them suddenly separated.

Chen Ming came to the entrance of the laboratory wearing the locust powered armor that Bai Quan had given him the blueprints for. He held the purgatory core that was directly exposed to high heat in his hand and appeared in front of the rescue team.

The leader of the rescue team immediately said to Chen Ming: "Mr. Chen Ming, please come with us to a safe place quickly."

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Mr. Chen Ming..."

The team leader wanted to dissuade him, so Chen Ming pointed directly around.

The metallic liquid that originally enveloped the buildings and domes gradually revealed those safe and sound buildings.

People who went to the top of the dome also reported back that there were no signs of damage to the dome.

The team leader still had a troubled look on his face.

Chen Ming said again: "I really have nothing to do here. Let's go to other nearby domes. They should have been affected by the volcanic eruption just now. Go and help them."

"By the way, where is Bai Quan? He should want to see me now."

"Lieutenant General Bai is directing the rescue. I will notify him immediately."

"Thank you."

"No, no, you're too polite."

The team leader quickly turned around and informed Bai Quan of the situation.

Although Chen Ming was still a little gloomy because of what had just happened, he was generally quite happy.

The test was successful.

Infernal Core works wonders when used independently.

When he holds the Purgatory Core, the psychic structure inside the Purgatory Core is almost equivalent to allowing him to master a psychic power that controls entropy and increases entropy.

After counting the psionic powers of the Queen and his own psionic powers that can be used through the hive mind network.

The combination of three spiritual powers into one can no longer be described as outrageous.

Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

His research on the core of Purgatory has been completely completed up to this point.

Next, after the geological activities are over, he can start manufacturing supporting equipment and create external devices that are originally suitable for the functions of the Purgatory Demon King, but have different effects from the Purgatory Demon King.

Allowing others to use the Infernal Core through this device instead of just being the core of the Inferno Lord.

It should be done soon.

In addition to this ordinary external device, Chen Ming also needs to help the Fourteenth Legion realize another function he is testing that is operated by psychic energy.

Although the Purgatory Core itself has a backdoor for psykers to use, direct use of this backdoor places high demands on the psykers themselves.

At least the user's ability to perceive the surrounding environment and the amount of mental power must not be less.

Other psykers still need to have suitable supporting facilities when using the Infernal Core.

It will definitely be much easier to use if you have supporting equipment.

But Chen Ming does not know how to manufacture psychic-related equipment.

So he only planned to explain the principles clearly, leaving the rest of the design of professional psychic devices to Bai Quan and the Fourteenth Legion.

Thesis, then do it last.

Anyway, once all the previous things are taken care of, the paper will just be about writing down the thoughts in your mind on paper.

It's a pity that he may not be able to do these things yet.

Because there is something wrong with what happened late tonight.

Just a few minutes after the rescue team leader called Baiquan.

Bai Quan also arrived at Chen Ming's dome in a spaceship.

When he got off the spacecraft, his face was extremely dark. He felt slightly better when he saw Chen Ming standing in the laboratory intact.

Chen Ming looked at Bai Quan who looked like he was about to eat someone and asked, "Why don't you call me?"

Bai Quan breathed out, calmed down and said, "I wanted to fight at first, but when you saw the situation outside and entered the laboratory, I knew you must have gone to the second underground floor."

"You will definitely not have time to leave when our rescue team gets here. Calling you is just a waste of time."

Chen Ming thought about it for a while. Bai Quan could only tell him two things when he called him before, reminding him to hide first, and waiting for rescue to take him away.

There is no need to remind him anymore, he can see the rescue team coming.

It's really no problem if I don't call. Several thoughts quickly flashed through Chen Ming's mind, but Chen Ming did not dwell too much on the phone call.

However, Baiquan continued: "And this situation is a bit embarrassing now, which makes me not want to call."

Although this sentence was talking about the phone call, it also confirmed Chen Ming's previous conjecture: "It seems that this geological activity is not a simple natural phenomenon."

"You can see it too."

"Yeah, the location of the three volcanoes at the back is so coincidental."

"It's a coincidence. Do you still remember that the psyker I once helped you investigate was the psyker who stopped Wu An when you and Yan Xiong were fighting.

Chen Ming's tone became as low as Bai Quan's: "I remember him, Hu Yi. You previously investigated that his psychic ability is to control temperature, but now it seems that it is not simply controlling temperature."

It's no wonder that his mental power can't even handle three volcanoes. If there is someone behind him who has been supporting the flow of magma at the bottom of the volcano, everything will make sense.

"How did he get here?"

Bai Quan raised the terminal, which displayed a person's identity history.

"A researcher from an institution that cooperates with us who voluntarily applied to come to the Gallo Star Territory was replaced by him. Except for the fact that the photo is similar to him, all other information is false."

"I will ask people to increase management efforts in this area in the future so that it won't happen again."

Hu Yi actually came to the 14th Army Corps like this. No wonder Bai Quan said he was embarrassed.

Chen Ming glanced at the face of the man on the terminal, recorded this look in his mind, and then said to Bai Quan, "I have two questions."

"You said."

"Why didn't Hu Yi create a volcano directly under the dome?"

Bai Quan pointed to his feet and said: "Just below the dome, there is a passive detection equipment that can detect the direction of the magma directly below."

"If he creates a volcano directly below, he will be discovered very early. The time when magma accumulates underground is enough to evacuate the entire dome."

"Separating a distance so that the equipment cannot accurately detect it, and not being discovered until the volcano emerges is the best way to attack the dome."

Chen Ming knew that there was detection equipment when he controlled the dome, and now he asked Bai Quan just to confirm.

"Then why are there only four volcanoes? For a psyker like him, why can he only hold back Boss Wu's psyker to this extent?"

Bai Quan explained again: "Because this is the Fourteenth Army Corps, Hu Yi cannot use psychic powers too much, otherwise he will be discovered soon."

"We also have psykers here, combat-type psykers. He won't be able to escape in a real fight."

"And if he causes large-scale casualties to our legion, he will be hunted on a large scale by the entire empire."

"You also know what our Fourteenth Legion is doing now."

Chen Ming paused and said, "But since you are like this now, Hu Yi should have run away."

Bai Quan's face darkened instantly and he admitted: "Yes, he also brought another psyker to assist him. When we found him, he ran away and disappeared into a black mist."

"Black Mist? What psyker?"

"You can't tell from the repel. It must be a psyker that has never been registered before, a civilian psyker."

Of course not all psykers are willing to be bound by the Empire.

Everyone's ideas are always diverse.

Some psykers willing to be governed by the Empire have long since volunteered to join the government or the military.

There are also some who want to join a force and want to get the benefits that can only be obtained by joining a force, but do not want to join the government or the army, so they will find forces within various empires to join.

For example, companies and research institutes welcome psychics to join.

Of course, there are also psykers who simply don't want to get involved in government, military, or internal company affairs.

Then they can choose to join a loose organization like the Psychic Association.

There are people who don’t want to join at all.

In fact, the empire doesn't force these people. They just need to register and let them go. No one will pay too much attention if they don't cause trouble.

Unless a psyker like Chen Ming has special psychic effects and cannot give up no matter what, he will always attract the attention of the empire.

There are also psykers who don't want to be controlled at all.

They have always been hidden in certain places in the empire and are not exposed to anyone's sight.

Therefore, it is not impossible for a psyker to suddenly pop up with a teleportation ability.

After all, Hu Yi is a veteran psychic, so it's not surprising that such a person appears in his network.

"So why did he suddenly come here now? Revenge? I haven't even bothered him yet, and he came to me?"

"I remember that he was employed by the top management of the war zone before. I never faced him head-on. He just killed Yan Xiong. He has a good relationship with Yan Xiong?"

Bai Quan thought about it and said, "I have never heard of such a thing."

"I have been paying attention to Hu Yi for a while because of you."

"After the last incident, some high-level officials in the war zone fell out. He shouldn't have taken the lead."

"And I originally heard that the higher-ups meant that Yan Xiong should be ignored. After all, the relationship between him and the people in the war zone is an employment relationship from the very beginning."

"What Hu Yi did was just wander around the galaxy and stop Wu An. Even within your Psychic Association, you couldn't find the problem. After all, the person who did it was not a member of the Psychic Association."

"This is a conflict between psychics. It needs to be resolved by both parties. As long as it does not affect other ordinary people, the empire will not take care of it."

Chen Ming grabbed the key words in Bai Quan's words and said, "Well, since you said it was true."

"Yeah, I don't know who made him a wanted person later."

"You don't know who it is?"

"Yes, I can't find it,"

"There is only a hidden conflict between you and him, but someone made this matter visible."

"And originally there was no need to worry about this kind of wanted person, but Yan Xiong really disappeared after that incident."

"I didn't expect it would happen in this situation now."

Chen Ming frowned and asked: "Why do you think he chose to take action now? It doesn't matter if he offends me, he has already offended me. Did he think he had a long life when he took action on the chassis of your 14th Army Corps?"

"Maybe he thinks that you will have no chance in the future after joining our Fourteenth Legion? Does he want to kill you before you are strictly protected and mature?"

Chen Ming nodded and said, "It's possible."

Bai Quan suddenly received a message on his terminal. He glanced at it and said: "I have already posted the situation. Soon there will be a special notice for wanted psykers in the military and government systems. Put his name on the website.”

"Is there such a website? No wonder the wanted list is useless. Doesn't Hu Yi know about this website?"

Bai Quan explained: "Not many people know about this website, but logically he should know that the wanted notices posted outside are completely useless to psykers. I don't understand what his situation is. , it’s unlikely that he really has anything to do with Zuo Jingche, right?”

Chen Ming could only say casually: "Who knows?"

"No one knows what he thinks, but you have to pay more attention in recent times. If he has the ability to escape, he should have the ability to come back."

"It's okay. If he comes to me again next time, it won't be my problem."

Bai Quan was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said: "It's true, if he can touch you again, then I must bear full responsibility."

"If he dares to come next time, we will definitely be able to keep him, but we may not be able to completely stop him from touching you. You may still be in danger."

"I know, I will be on guard."

Hu Yi, a hostile psyker who knew that Yan Xiong died at his hands, was extremely wary of him, and was still able to fight with his boss, made Chen Ming feel troublesome just thinking about it.

"Tell me about his situation if you have the chance, and I'll find a way to kill him."

"Okay, let me tell you when I have time. By the way, how is your research going?"

Bai Quan's abrupt turn made Chen Ming unable to hold back a laugh.

"It's okay. You should have seen the situation nearby. Give me a few days and I can sort out the details and write them out."

Just as Chen Ming and Bai Quan finished talking, Bai Quan continued to direct the rescue.

At the other end of the empire, in another prosperous star field near the Sunset Star Territory where the empire and the main force of Afterglow are fighting, on a planet with a pleasant climate.

Hu Yi, who was lying on the deck chair in his backyard, suddenly received a call. He opened his eyes and glanced at it. It was the president's call.

"Hey?"

"You want to kill Chen Ming?"

Hu Yi was stunned and asked: "What did you say?"

The president quickly explained to him the news he had received from Bai Quan.

Hu Yize responded with questions on his head: "But I didn't do anything. I hid somewhere else after I told you last time. How about I videotape you now."

"Then let's do the video."

Hu Yi immediately got up and headed to the local government department.

Ten minutes later, the president confirmed that Hu Yi had indeed not gone to the 14th Army Corps.

"But the news from the Fourteenth Army Corps has been confirmed. Due to your relationship with Chen Ming and Wu An, I can't intervene directly. You can find a way to solve it yourself. I will give you the contact between the Fourteenth Army Corps and Chen Ming. Way."

Hu Yi could only return to his home with a sense of anger that he had been impersonated.

He knew from the previous incident that he had made a wrong decision. A psyker supported by the empire and the psionic association was not someone he could offend.

So he completely cut ties with Zuo Jing, ran to the other side of the empire alone, and found a place to live in seclusion far away from the Gallo Star Territory.

I was afraid that Chen Ming would find him out one day.

He even wanted to sleep for a hundred and eighty years and then crawl out when Chen Ming died of old age.

However, he finally gave up on realizing this idea and found a place to just enjoy life.

Anyway, after getting the money, no one would hold him accountable as a psyker because of an employment relationship.

But now, this situation means that he does not have enough evidence to prove that he did nothing.

After all, no one knew what he was doing in seclusion.

He had to find a way to solve this problem.

He doesn't take the blame for Chen Ming's assassination. At most, he just chatted with Wu An for a while.

Hu Yi thought about it for a while and dialed Wu An's number.
