Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 260 Good impression
When I saw that the direction that Brother Shi was heading towards was the core area of ​​the space station.

Chen Ming felt slightly excited.

Sure enough, the temptation he made during the day was correct.

Once he has found the left-wing elements hidden among ordinary people, the possibility of finding more clues about the left-wing elements lies in him.

Brother Shi quickly walked through the area where the isolation membrane existed and entered the interior of the space station.

Chen Ming immediately controlled the metallic liquid in Shi Ge's soles to separate part of it and seep into the ground.

His psychic power can remotely control metallic liquid, and can remotely increase the amount of metallic liquid, even if the entire space station is filled, it is not a problem.

But he won't add much now.

Because when his spiritual energy is used, that is, when he creates metallic liquid, he will still release trace amounts of spiritual energy fluctuations.

Although this psychic fluctuation will not leave any residue, it may still be discovered if there are psychics nearby or some equipment that monitors psychic fluctuations.

In fact, it seems that other people can also be used as objects to hide the metallic liquid.

Just before, when Chen Ming was still in space, he observed the structure of the space station while being dragged to the space station by a tugboat.

Chen Ming estimated that the entire space station might be divided into four or five rings. If so many different areas were all isolated from each other by silent alloy, it would be really troublesome to go deeper.

Without knowing the specific location of the psykers on the space station, rashly expanding the coverage of the metallic liquid will definitely cause problems.

However, others stated that they were not sure who could enter the space station before.

The confusion is that it is normal for the left diameter to isolate the outside, but what does it mean to isolate the inside?
The value of silent alloy, a material related to psychic energy, is not low, especially if it is made into a metal film with induction circuits inside. Such a huge amount is used on the entire space station...

Therefore, there are definitely psychics on the space station, and they may have been staying at the core of the space station.

Since Zuo Jing has deployed Silent Alloy on the space station, it is impossible for this space station not to have things related to psychic energy.

Even the interior of the space station is divided into more areas by these silent alloys and modified structures.

At least it would definitely be faster than finding Brother Shi.

So even in the area where he was staying now, where he could directly and completely control it with his own hands, he did not manipulate the metallic liquid too much.

It is a proper act of suicide to conduct experiments related to psychic energy without a psychic being nearby to take care of you.

Isn’t it possible that there are dangerous and psychic-related things being researched inside this space station, and then these are isolated?
Fortunately, he didn't feel any danger at this time. Even if there was really any dangerous research going on inside the space station, he still had a chance to stop it... or run away.

Compare the area of ​​this area and the outermost area with the size of the entire space station.

So he was lucky to be able to find a suitable partner right away.

It's obviously not a good idea to go deeper at this point.

Because there is still a silent alloy partition in this area leading to the interior of the space station.

Anyone who can move in the area where the metallic liquid now enters must have some authority. It shouldn't take long for him to find someone who can enter the deeper parts of the space station.

With this idea in mind, Chen Ming continued to control the metallic liquid and began to explore deeper after passing through the outer isolation membrane through Shi Ge.

Why not take advantage of this moment to explore this area.

Because he also has no way to ensure that there are no psychics outside the space station.

So at this time, in the area slightly inside the space station, Chen Ming was very vigilant before using metallic liquid, and deliberately limited the amount of metallic liquid to a level where he could completely suppress the psychic fluctuations.

Of course, if we can find key locations on the space station, such as databases or security system centers, etc.

This ecological observation space station, which is closely related to Zuojiu, has invited a minister of a government department to come over. It is obvious that there will be a big move in the near future.

Unless it really comes to the point where he needs to react immediately, he will definitely do it in a steady manner.

Either that, Ye Lirong is being watched by countless people, and it's hard to do anything to him.

So in this case, it is normal to find another psyker to protect the smooth progress of this matter.

Those that have been determined are either temporarily out of reach like the deputy general manager who came to explain things to Uncle Mao before, and no one can be seen outside the space station.

But currently, it seems that Brother Shi has only moved inward to one area.

This may be Chen Ming's unfounded worry, but this is what he is used to.

Chen Ming discovered that his metallic liquid could only restrict internal movement in a certain area.

At least now, he has successfully allowed the metallic liquid to break through the peripheral isolation membrane and monitoring barriers and enter the interior of the space station.

This made Chen Ming very uncomfortable and confused.

Although the equipment for monitoring psychic energy fluctuations cannot be completely determined, it is very likely to exist.

As long as he can control the entire space station, he can have many ways to sneak into the space station and obtain information about the left path without exposing his own spiritual energy, so there is no need to be as cautious as now.

Chen Ming suddenly had a bad premonition.

But soon.

It is now close to night, and most people have gone back to their resting places. Except for some people on the night shift, there are no people active on the space station.

Although Chen Ming knew that Zuo Jing liked to commit suicide, he probably wouldn't leave a guarantee when doing such a big thing.

The discomfort is that if he wants to continue to penetrate deeper, he has to break through more protective films.

He can directly use that metal liquid to control the internal authority of the space station from a physical and technical level.

If he remembered correctly, there should be an internal port in this area.

It happens to be the port where Uncle Mao said just now that spaceships will leave the port at midnight every day.

He had to go and see.

Just when the metallic liquid was controlled to spread towards the port.

Chen Ming suddenly noticed that Brother Shi, who had just entered this area, walked into an office.

And sitting in this office was the deputy manager Chang who had informed Uncle Mao during the day to tell An Wuping to stop running around during the two days when Ye Lirong came over.

I saw Deputy Manager Chang asking Brother Shi, who had just come in: "Shi Shao? What are you doing here?"

"Deputy Manager Chang, I feel like there's something wrong with the man named An Wuping."

Chen Ming did not react to these words, and just watched calmly.

He had thought that this might happen when he was testing it before.

But everything he did was considered.

Every action he made seemed absolutely normal, leaving no logically defensible doubt.

And Zuo Jing seemed to be a little bit logical, otherwise Zuo Jing would have been able to take action when his spaceship was towed over.

Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that Zuo Jing just wanted to raise him for a few days and planned to replicate the same treatment method used by the group of people who received the distress signal half a year ago when Uncle Mao received the distress signal.

But even if the leftists really want to do something directly regardless of the evidence.

He can also change his course of action immediately. At most, it will be more troublesome to obtain clues.

This is the worst case scenario.

Chen Ming continued to read, ready to explode at any time.

His previous plan was his previous plan. If the situation changed, he would have to adapt.

At this time, Deputy Manager Chang did not have any special attitude because Brother Shi mentioned Chen Ming. He asked like he was facing some ordinary questions: "What's wrong? What did he do?"

Shi Shao quickly recounted today's process.

The more he talked, the deeper Deputy Manager Chang frowned.

After Brother Shi finished speaking, Deputy Manager Chang stared at him for a while, then suddenly slapped the table angrily and said, "Think about what you are talking about?"

"He helped you look at the equipment, won money from playing cards and treated you to lunch in the cafeteria. After showing a few TV programs, you got suspicious of him? I don't see anything wrong with him."

"Can……"

Deputy Manager Chang waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him: "This is not something you should worry about. Continue to take care of other people. This An Wuping will be gone in a few days."

"Unless he has any obvious abnormal behavior, don't tell me."

Shi Shao wanted to say something else, but gave up after seeing Deputy Manager Chang's expression.

Turned around and left the office.

When he left the office, he didn't notice that the metallic liquid at his feet separated slightly and flowed along the floor to Deputy Manager Chang's feet.

After Shi Shao left, Deputy Manager Chang suddenly shook his head and said to himself: "The brain circuits of people who believe in Zuo Jing are really different from ordinary people."

He had already told people to keep an eye on An Wuping, an outsider. Of course, besides Mao Xingwang, there were people who had been monitoring An Wuping from a distance.

Of course, it was impossible for him not to be wary of an outsider like An Wuping, and he would definitely arrange for others to do what needed to be done.

Today, An Wuping has been spending time with Mao Xingwang and others.

I only went to see his spaceship in the afternoon and repaired the power armor. Mao Xingwang also went over immediately to ensure that people would not run around. It can be said that there were no accidents throughout the process.

An Wuping was also very cooperative and didn't do anything unusual at all.

As long as An Wuping stays peacefully in the next few days, he can even let An Wuping leave here safely at this sensitive time when Minister Ye comes.

Several people who knew An Wuping didn't say there was anything wrong with him. However, one of the people at the bottom suspected An Wuping just because he changed a few TV programs.

If we follow Shi Shao's standards, wouldn't it be more necessary to be suspicious of so many ordinary people on the space station?
They were in contact with Zuo Jing every day, and any one of them might have discovered something.

What's more, Shi Shao's job is to keep an eye on the ordinary people who are used to disguise the space station. Instead of doing business, he keeps an eye on An Wuping, who Minister Ye said has no big problem.

Doesn't this clearly mean that he and Minister Ye have a bad vision? Put in a person who might be a threat to the space station.

If this kind of thing spreads, the position under his butt may not disappear, but more people will definitely stare at this position.

It was already settled that he didn't just tell people to get out.

Deputy Manager Chang shook his head again and put the matter behind him.

Chen Ming felt a little interesting watching this scene.

Deputy Manager Chang of this space station, like Shen Yi, the middleman of the Zuojia who he once personally killed, only used the Zuojia as a business, rather than truly believing in the Zuojia.

Obviously, the middle and senior levels of Zuo Jing don’t actually believe in Zuo Jing. Only the lower levels foolishly fall into the trap, and their way of thinking is tending towards extreme and sensitive.

Although Brother Shi's feeling was correct, Chen Ming did come here to stir up trouble.

But today's events are definitely no problem no matter who you look at them.

So no one believed that it was normal for him to play such a small role. Chen Ming continued to pay attention to Shi Shao for a while after he left the office, but he turned around and walked towards the outside of the space station. It was not like he could continue walking inside.

Chen Ming also turned his attention away from him.

Next, the metal liquid mainly has to follow this deputy director.

Deputy Manager Chang was one of the people who had been around Minister Ye before. If there was a chance, he might be able to contact Minister Ye through him.

Of course not yet.

Still handling work in Deputy Manager Chang's office.

Even the space station on the left path still has a lot of work that needs people to deal with.

I'm afraid it's time to take a break once the work is done.

At least there won't be a chance until tomorrow.

Therefore, Chen Ming directed all his attention to the last pool of still moving metallic liquid.

At this time, the pool of metallic liquid had arrived at the port inside the space station, and a closed passage in the corner of the port suddenly opened.

There was a spaceship that had just been delivered to the outbound orbit by transportation equipment, and it looked like it was about to set sail soon.

Judging from the logo, this is a garbage ship, and it is going to take away the domestic garbage on the space station for destruction.

This spaceship is the spaceship that Uncle Mao mentioned.

And Chen Ming did what Uncle Mao said and found something in the corner of the spacecraft that should not exist in such a place.

Some obvious dark red traces.

is blood.

Chen Ming immediately continued to divide the metal liquid into two batches.

A batch of metallic liquid immediately spread in the direction from which the spacecraft was transported.

But there is still an isolation membrane in the direction from which the spacecraft comes, isolating the port from the more inner area where the spacecraft comes.

At this moment, no one was entering or exiting the passage. Even with the purely mechanical structure transporting the spacecraft, Chen Ming had no chance of entering deeper.

We can only hide on the spot and see if there is a chance to find a deeper way into the space station other than Deputy Manager Chang.

The other batch of metallic liquid that had just been separated spread directly along the track to the garbage transport spacecraft.

Now there was only one place left worthy of his investigation.

However, as soon as the metallic liquid boarded the spacecraft, Chen Ming discovered something else.

The spacecraft was also wrapped in a silent alloy film that completely protected the spacecraft, blocking the metallic liquid from the outside of the spacecraft.

What can be transported by such a spaceship protected by a silent alloy film is definitely not a simple thing.

Chen Ming felt that he had found the right direction.

What Uncle Mao said is indeed correct.

After hiding the metallic liquid, Chen Ming continued to wait for a while.

Nearing midnight, the spacecraft finally started moving and flew into space, then flew to the edge of the galaxy, started to activate the hyperspace channel system, and entered hyperspace.

Up until this point, everything looked normal.

But after the spacecraft entered hyperspace, it only flew a little distance, then suddenly turned off the transponder, activated the hyperspace channel system again, and left hyperspace.

A spacecraft with its transponder turned off was less likely to be discovered than a spacecraft with its transponder turned on. The spacecraft just quietly circled back from the edge of the galaxy and went directly to the planet orbited by the space station.

It flew straight to the other side of the planet opposite to the space station.

As the spacecraft slowly landed, Chen Ming realized that he had really found the key.

Because there were extremely obvious psychic fluctuations coming from just below the spacecraft.

Chen Ming once again confirmed the status of the metal liquids he controlled to prevent the metal liquids from exposing his spiritual energy.

He was a little nervous and expectant at this time. He wanted to know what he could investigate along this spacecraft.

Soon the spacecraft came to a complete stop.

However, it was then that Chen Ming discovered that the situation was a little beyond his expectation.

Because there is a huge open pit next to the place where the spacecraft landed.

In this deep pit, there are a large number of corpses piled up.

The vast majority of the corpses have different looks, genders, and ages, and many of them may be Zuo Jing's victims.

However, there are still some corpses with the same faces. Apparently Zuo Jing has the cloning technology, selected some suitable people to clone, and used these clones to do these terrible things.

These corpses all have one characteristic in common. They are all badly mutilated and there is no good flesh on them.

There are even deformities in different body parts of the body.

A deformity that is unsettling to look at.

It was not a deformity caused by dimensional infection that Chen Ming knew about, but a deformity that Chen Ming felt was very familiar, but had never seen before.

This contrasting feeling made Chen Ming feel queasy for some reason.

A nausea that seemed to come from psychic instinct.

Chen Ming suppressed this feeling and continued to observe the situation of the deep pit through the metallic liquid.

At present, it seems that the closer to the bottom of the pit, the more serious the decay of the corpses. Obviously, this pit cannot be formed overnight.

How long has Zuo Jing been active here?

How many people were killed by Zuo Jing?

Just as Chen Ming was thinking, the landing spacecraft suddenly opened the hatch at the rear of the spacecraft.

The bloody smell visible to the naked eye immediately spread from the open hatch. The cargo hold of this garbage transport ship was filled with deformed and mutilated human corpses, just like the pit.

Along with this bloody breath, there was also a heavy, thick, and extreme emotion released that was familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Ming.

When he felt this spiritual energy fluctuation, he seemed to see those deformed corpses.

Chen Ming felt uncontrollable nausea this time, and even had an emotion of extreme disgust.

At the moment when the cabin of the spacecraft tilted slightly under the action of the mechanical structure, a large number of corpses carrying psychic fluctuations were thrown into the pit.

This feeling has reached its peak.

These corpses are not the corpses of psykers, but their deformed tissues have psychic energy waves spread across them.

Just when Chen Ming couldn't help but want to vomit, he suddenly discovered that the source of this feeling in him was not just himself.

Rather, it was his own instinct that directly produced some special reaction with the Word of Madness Spirit Stone in the hands of his Fourteenth Legion prosthesis.

This special reaction affected Chen Ming when he saw these corpses, making him feel nauseated and disgusted.

Chen Ming immediately asked the prosthesis to move "Ming" embedded with the ectoplasm stone of the Word of Madness away from his side, and used his psychic energy to temporarily block the relationship between himself and the ectoplasm stone that had resonated.

Then Chen Ming looked at the corpses again.

But something even stranger happened.

After Chen Ming lost the nausea and disgust that the Mad Words Spiritual Stone brought to him.

Suddenly, he felt an emotion about the deformed parts of the corpses that made him even more numb.

An...inexplicable good feeling.

He developed a fondness for these deformed things!

This is impossible!

Chen Ming's heartbeat was speeding up.

He immediately used a lot of mental energy to protect his brain.

However, this can only slightly slow down the growth of that inexplicable favorable impression. As long as he continues to observe, his favorable impression of these abnormal organizations will continue to grow.

"What the hell is this?"

Chen Ming cursed in his heart.

Suddenly he noticed the faces of the corpses.

As long as the head was not completely destroyed, the face of the corpse that still managed to maintain its shape showed a stiff smile as if it had been torn out by something.

It was obviously such a smile, but it felt to Chen Ming as if they were smiling from the bottom of their hearts.

This extreme sense of fragmentation made Chen Ming's scalp not only numb, but also his whole body felt obvious physical discomfort.

He quickly reconnected himself with the ectoplasm stone and stopped blocking it.

And when he was observing these corpses, his mood finally turned back to disgust again, and the nauseating feeling came as expected.

Those smiles became as stiff as being torn out again. Only occasionally, Chen Ming would seem to have seen something wrong and see the scene where the smile seemed to come from the heart.

Chen Ming really has never missed this feeling that makes him want to vomit as much as he does now.

At least this way he could feel at ease.

Obviously, this situation is because the Mad Words Spiritual Stone is protecting him from being affected.

Wait, the Mad Words Spiritual Stone...

Chen Ming suddenly realized the familiar feeling brought to him by the spiritual energy fluctuations spread on those deformed human tissues. It was an extreme feeling similar to the spiritual energy properties of the Mad Words ectoplasm stone.

The source of these deformed human tissues is something similar to the Mad Words Spiritual Stone.

It may not be an ectoplasm stone, but it must be a very similar existence.

Chen Ming confirmed his thoughts in his heart, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down his mind.

He would not be surprised by anything that happened in this world with psychic beings.

But he can't be disturbed by this kind of thing now.

He must investigate clearly.

Zuo Jing, what are you doing?
