Chapter 253 Fear
"What the hell!"

The moment Chen Ming saw this scene, he suddenly felt some inexplicable fear, but he immediately suppressed this emotion.

And immediately created a thin layer of nearly transparent metallic liquid as a protective film on himself and several people around him.

The blood mist and debris that caused the corpse to spray out only covered the second half of the shuttle boat.

But this horrific scene did reach everyone's eyes, especially the shuttle boat pilot in front of the spacecraft who had never seen such a scene before and kept exclaiming.

Chen Ming didn't care what was going on at this time. In order to prevent anyone on the shuttle boat from having problems or acting irrationally, he stood up from his position and directly took over the shuttle boat with his spiritual energy, cutting off all of external communications.

And controlled everyone except Bai Quan and He Gu, keeping them all in their positions.

After controlling the situation, Chen Ming once again experienced the feeling and fear in his heart.

Although the feeling was relatively clear except for the moment when the flesh and blood exploded, now, Chen Ming could still feel the fear from the unknown from the entire environment as long as he thought about it.

The source of this fear was so familiar that it caused a few drops of sweat to flow from his forehead.

"There is no psychic wave left, nothing similar, and no source of energy that just exploded can be seen."

"There are some religious people who go to religion because they can't see their own hope, looking for psychological comfort. Lou Wei may be the same."

He Gu said, then raised his head and looked at the wall and ceiling next to him, analyzing the trajectory of the blood and meat spraying.

"and many more."

And he couldn't get through it.

After watching for a while, he suddenly turned around and said to the people behind him: "He exploded directly from the inside out. It can only be that there is a bomb in his body, otherwise it would not have such an effect."

He Gu stood up as Chen Ming stood up, and his body also emitted some spiritual energy fluctuations.

Chen Ming looked at Major General Send and asked, "Has Lou Wei been in contact with Zuo Jing recently?"

Although Major General Song, who was tied to a chair by Chen Ming, could not move his body, he could still move his mouth.

"I can't be 100% sure, but judging from his behavior before his death, it is absolutely inseparable from Zuo Jing."

"The absence of psychic fluctuations on Lou Wei's body only means that there are no psychic fluctuations left here. It does not mean that this was not done by a psychic."

"Because of the former, there shouldn't be no clues to be found during the investigation by the supervisory department, and he should not be the only one who will be bombed today."

When Chen Ming said these words, a figure with exposed flesh and blood tissue and a deformed and twisted heart flashed in Chen Ming's mind.

He squeezed open Chen Ming's protective film and stepped into the area at the back of the shuttle boat that was covered in shattered flesh and blood.

"Not a bomb?"

Major General Song immediately said: "If I have to say it, yes, because you and Lieutenant General Bai were assassinated before, it was inevitable for the superiors to come into contact with Zuo Jing when they came down to investigate Zuo Jing. Several of us have been in contact with it."

His whole body was protected by a mental shield, and he did not directly come into contact with the surrounding flesh and blood.

Major General Song guessed: "It should be right after the investigation team came down, right? At that time, for reasons you all know, he was in a very bad state, especially his mental state. I feel that it was at this time that he was taught by Zuo Jing."

"But I don't see any trace of explosives in the residue here."

He didn't rush through the metal film. After all, he didn't have He Gu's mental shield to protect him. Who knew whether Lou Wei's sudden and inexplicable explosion was some kind of dangerous situation.

Chen Ming had already adjusted his emotions at this time, and there was no trace of being affected by the scene just now.

"But the power of this kind of explosion is not small. What did Zuo Jing use to achieve this level?"

He Gu walked to the seat where Lou Wei exploded and squatted on the ground to observe.

"But I'm just wondering, is he passive or active?"

Fortunately, Chen Ming did not sense the danger, at least now he could calm down quickly.

He Gu nodded to Chen Ming, continued to lower his head and looked at Lou Wei's seat.

"It's possible."

He interrupted the conversation and asked: "Didn't you say that there are no psychic fluctuations in his body? Does that mean that this was not done by a psyker? If it is not a psyker from Zuojia, what else could it be?"

"Was he passively blown up by Zuo Jing, or was he the one who blew it up on his own initiative?"

"The difference is that the former could be a coercive method by Zuo Jing, while the latter could be that he actively believed in Zuo Jing and cooperated with Zuo Jing to complete the self-destruction of his body."

Chen Ming nodded to him and said, "Then I prefer the latter."

Bai Quan stood in front of the metallic liquid membrane isolated by Chen Ming and asked this question.

By the way, he also took out a pair of disposable gloves from the pocket of his white coat, put them on, and began to fiddle with the minced meat on the ground.

He explained: "That's not the case. In fact, I don't have any psychic energy fluctuations in my body now, but this does not mean that I am not a psychic, and the things my psychic energy affects are not the same as my current state. Psychic fluctuations.”

Bai Quan asked: "Are you sure it's Zuo Jing? Just because you believe in Zuo Jing, will you have such an effect?"

"When was he preached?"

"Also, he just happened to be talking about Zuo Jing's teachings before the explosion. Did you hear the tone and feeling when he was talking about the teachings?"

Before He Gu answered, Chen Ming suddenly interjected: "I can confirm that it is definitely not a bomb. There is no explosive residue in the entire shuttle boat, only fragments of his human tissue."

"There must be someone with special psychic effects on the left path, or something."

Major General Song then asked: "What's the difference?"

"And he is the only one who has really offended you, but most of the rest of us have just been affected, so his mentality must be better than Lou Wei's. He should indeed be the easiest one to be targeted."

After Chen Ming mentioned the possibility, He Gu suddenly said: "In fact, there is no way to rule out the former, because Zuo Jing may have the ability to brainwash by coercion."

"We have always had this suspicion, because there is absolutely no way to completely eliminate Zuo Jing. Even if we use cruel methods to deal with Zuo Jing, Zuo Jing will still spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain. It is very likely that there is psychic power that can Carry out activities similar to proselytizing and brainwashing.”

Bai Quan agreed with He Gu's point of view and said: "If it were before, I would deny it, but since Zuo Jing sent psychics to assassinate us, I will not say so. There is no way to confirm Zuo Jing's hand that has been developed for so many years. How many psykers will there be?"

"Then why don't they brainwash everyone?"

Faced with Chen Ming's question, He Gu speculated: "There should be limits to this kind of spiritual power. Otherwise, if this brainwashing ability alone could secretly brainwash all the people at the bottom, the empire would have been dominated by Zuo Jing."

"I feel like what Major General Song just said, the limitation of this kind of spiritual power is a person's psychological condition. People with fragile hearts and weak minds are easy to be preached."

"This psychic energy may even always be around us. It will only wander around people with weak hearts and infect them when they are at their most vulnerable."

"This can indeed explain some things, and it is also a reasonable guess."

Chen Ming also partially agreed with He Gu's point of view, but he still had a question: "Did you think there were no psychics in Zuojiao before?"

"Because every psyker will at least be a person with a strong will and the ability to think independently. When the empire completely blocks Zuojia, people with brains will generally not join Zuojia."

"You can also see the empire's attitude towards Zuo Jing. If you get involved in it a little deeper, you will basically be gone in this life. You can prepare for a good birth in the next life."

"And compared to the treatment of psykers in our entire empire, the resources provided by Zuojiao for psykers are too few."

"As long as psykers do not commit crimes in the empire, they will not be forced to do anything. If they want to have a stable public life, they will definitely be fine as psykers."

"But if you join Zuo Jing, you will definitely be hunted down by the empire, and in disguise, you will be subject to more stringent control by the empire."

"It's impossible for Zuo Jing to have more things on hand than without the empire. The psykers who join will be hunted down more vigorously by the empire in disguise, which is completely useless."

"There has been and indeed has never been a record of psykers from the left path, so we have always thought so, but now this situation has to be questioned."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Ming suddenly thought of what happened some time ago and said, "Do you know Yan Xiong and Hu Yi? Aren't they considered psykers from Zuo Jing?"

"I know that one of them died, and the other disappeared for a while and caused big trouble."

"But they have been carrying out overt activities in the empire before. They are stepping into the gray area of ​​the empire's laws and relying on the privileges of their status as psykers to do things similar to mercenary activities."

"Being hired is completely different from joining Zuojia directly. What's more, there are two lieutenant generals in the war zone in front of them to support them. They are the ones directly connected with Zuojia."

"So if Hu Yi continues to disappear and this matter ends up being nothing, as long as Hu Yi doesn't show that he is having an affair with Zuo Jing, he will still be such a psyker."

"But he suddenly appeared in our legion branch later and tried to assassinate you. He was already on the list of people suspected of joining Zuojiao, but it has not been completely confirmed."

"As for Yan Xiong, if he hadn't been killed by you, it wouldn't have been a big deal. At least the empire would have arrested him, educated him for a period of time, and then released him."

"Because he never made a real mistake before he died. At least his butt was not crooked and he was still sitting on the imperial chair. Moreover, it can be said that he was deceived by the two lieutenant generals in the theater. ”

"Like what you do in the two colonies out there."

"Just think about how many illegal things you have done, and it has affected civilians on a large scale. Even if there are many left-wingers, there are also many ordinary people."

"Finally, do you think anyone dares to speak against you? No. This is the privilege of psychics, so you don't need to say anything, you also have the same treatment."

"The hatred between psykers belongs to the psykers, and no one will care about life or death as long as it does not affect the civilians of the empire."

"The privilege of psykers is that as long as they don't make fundamental mistakes, they will have a chance to be released even if they are caught. At most, the empire will treat them less well in the future." "But the Black Mist Spirit who assassinated you before The capable person is completely different. His behavior threatened the safety of the Imperial Lieutenant General, and someone came here after revealing your whereabouts to Zuo Jing. In the absence of other evidence, he can be characterized as The Psyker of the Left Path."

Chen Ming considered He Gu's words for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be surprising that there are such psychics in Zuo Jing, right? Zuo Jing's power is actually quite powerful, and they can be found everywhere in the empire."

"If there are really only a few psykers in Zuojia, then the resources allocated to these psykers may really be more than those of some low-level psykers who choose to join the empire."

"And if some psychics make big mistakes and can't be saved, joining Zuo Jing, a force that the empire has never been able to eradicate, can be considered a reason, right?"

Of course, He Gu also knew that this situation might indeed exist: "So the main reason why we have not believed that there are psykers in Zuojiao is that they have never revealed that they have psykers."

"Only recently have they shown their fangs."

Next to him, Major General Song almost fainted after hearing about the psyker, and asked: "How on earth was it done? There are so many conjectures, which one is correct?"

He Gu was not sure at this time and said: "Lou Wei exploded like this, and now we can only analyze this result from the corpse."

"A more detailed investigation needs to be done by professionals. I am not the psychic responsible for this, and neither is Chen Ming."

He Gu mentioned Chen Ming, but Chen Ming was a little silent at the moment and didn't know what to say.

Because the previous speculations seem to have some explanations, but some are not easy to explain.

Moreover, in Chen Ming's mind, Lou Wei's sudden explosion into flesh and blood reminded him of the past.

That familiar feeling that made him unable to help but feel fear lingered in Chen Ming's heart, and he couldn't get rid of it. He was too familiar with this feeling.

So he had to look at the two things together.

Just when Chen Ming remained silent.

Bai Quan suddenly took the initiative and concluded: "No matter how Zuo Jing did it, this matter must not be spread directly, otherwise I think there will be a big problem."

"Let's send the news back to the senior management first and see what they say."

"Lou Wei was also a major general before. Zuo Jing's stubborn diseases for so many years have reached the point where they can threaten the empire's major generals. We must find a way to deal with them."

"Otherwise, the empire's major actions may be disrupted in the future."

"And now that Lou Wei dies in a place like this and at this time, it should be clear who he is targeting."

"Is it possible that this is Zuo Jing's revenge? To retaliate against Lou Wei for giving away the colony?"

"Who knows what the lunatic on Zuojiao is thinking."

Major General Song, who was restrained by Chen Ming next to him, suddenly winked at Bai Quan.

When Bai Quan came to his side, he whispered to Bai Quan: "Even if Lou Wei dies, I can find a way to pay him the compensation he should have paid. As far as the matter in the light industrial colony is concerned, our faction is finished now." , but I can take this opportunity to help instructor Chen get what he deserves."

Bai Quan nodded slightly, not surprised that Major General Song was willing to do such a thing.

Just when Bai Quan and Major General Song were talking.

Chen Ming suddenly approached He Gu and asked, "Researcher He, do you know about dimensional infection?"

He Gu's expression changed a little and he said: "I know, and I know you are the person involved. The empire is also experiencing the sequelae of the dimensional infection."

"What about being more specific?"

"That's not clear. I haven't experienced it personally."

Chen Ming thought about his wording, but still did not directly explain to He Gu his keen perception and his intention to perceive the content of Lou Wei's death. He just explained: "Dimensional infection, just looking at it with the naked eye is... A situation of blood and flesh flying everywhere.”

He Gu glanced at the flesh and blood on the shuttle boat next to him and said, "The difference should be a bit big, right?"

"I know, but it's very similar, and some time ago Zuo Jing was spreading a message, saying that the sequelae of dimensional infection, that is, the frequent occurrence of a large number of newborn deformed children in the empire, was caused by the empire's disrespect for the gods and wanton development of technology. of."

"Connecting this matter with the god they believe in."

"I used to think they were just taking the opportunity to cause trouble, but now, I really can't say whether there is any connection."

"Of course I'm just guessing, this is just the worst outcome."

"I really don't want this to happen, but I can't be 100 percent sure of it."

"As for me, I always like to use the worst possible outcome as the most likely situation that will happen in the future, and then use this outcome to work backwards and plan the way I do things."

"So I was wondering if Zuo Jing really mastered part of the means to connect with the existence of creating dimensional infection."

"The bottom elements of the leftist class are extremely averse to technology, but judging from their usual behavior, they know how to use technology and don't mind using it."

"Could they have conducted some cloning experiments in private and successfully created a dimensional infection? But that dimensional infection was suppressed?"

"I specifically asked someone before about the specific situation of the sequelae of dimensional infection. The sequelae of the last dimensional infection only started to break out about half a year after the infection and lasted for about twenty years."

"This time, the date of appearance of deformed children was much earlier. It can be said that not long after my place just ended this matter, the situation of deformed children appeared everywhere."

"It will take time for the ability of infection from another dimension to affect our world. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to use those unconscious clones to create a wide range of flesh and blood biological tissues."

"What's more, I encountered the dimensional infection on the territory of the Left Path. Even if it starts from the Left Path, it won't expand outward that fast."

"Furthermore, the star regions and star regions where the news of deformed children appeared did not gradually spread from the Galo Star Region, but started to break out directly from the empire."

"So I was thinking, is it possible that the sequelae of the dimensional infection this time were not caused by me? But by the left diameter?"

"If it's just a pure flesh and blood explosion, then I actually won't combine these two things."

"But since I had this suspicion before, and there is not enough sample evidence, I have reason to doubt whether the dimensional infection this time was caused by Zuo Jia."

After listening to Chen Ming's story, He Gu's brain was thinking rapidly.

He could hear that what Chen Ming said was very logical, but he didn't know much about the dimensional infection. He had to investigate it in detail later.

He did not doubt that Chen Ming was lying. After all, Chen Ming was a member of the Psychic Association. As the largest psyker organization besides the Psychic Research Institute and Fanchao Research Institute of various departments in the empire, the Psychic Association has always been very influential. capable.

In particular, the president of the Psychic Association has personally experienced a dimensional infection.

So what Chen Ming said was quite convincing to him.

But persuasion is persuasion. Chen Ming currently has no substantive evidence. Although He Gu believes it in his heart, he still has to wait.

He Gu said to Chen Ming: "To be honest, your guess is a bit too crazy. It is difficult for me to accept it directly."

"I know."

Chen Ming said: "So this is just my guess. I can't be sure, but one thing is certain, Zuo Jing must die."

Chen Ming didn't say much. After finishing speaking, he returned to the front of the shuttle boat that was isolated by the metal film.

But there was actually another thing he didn't say just now.

It was the president and he who had been marked by beings from another dimension during two dimensional infections.

If his most terrifying guess comes true, it will most likely be another one, or even if a few more survive...

This is not necessarily true. After all, people who survive a dimensional infection have the same time span and may not be used for different positions between the two dimensions, but can only be counted as one person.

But it also means there could be three people within the Empire marked by another dimension.

The president said that as long as four such people come together, the empire's position can be completely determined.

Three is only one step away from four.

If Zuo Jing causes dimensional infection again, brings out a fourth one, or even directly brings out all those who have experienced dimensional infection except Chen Ming and the president, then the problem will be huge.

However, Chen Ming felt that he couldn't tell He Gu about this matter. He Gu didn't know about dimension infection. He had to discuss this matter with his boss and president.

Chen Ming sat back in his seat and released the restrictions on the metallic liquid for the other people on the shuttle boat.

Then he sailed the shuttle directly into the Stardust-class flight deck.

Let everyone stay on Stardust for now.

The matter of Lou Wei's death due to Zuo Jing was too important. At least until the outcome of this matter came out, the few people present could not leave.

Chen Ming no longer restricted their freedom on the spaceship, and everyone could move around on the spaceship.

After all, everything in the spaceship is under Chen Ming's control.

Chen Ming also quickly gave Bai Quan and He Gu permission to communicate with others on the spacecraft.

Just wait for Bai Quan and He Gu to inform the people who have the authority to know the news, so that they can ask what they should ask and do what they should do.

Then decide how to deal with Lou Wei's matter.
