Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 276 Backhand
Chen Ming looked at the mirror in front of him.

There's nothing wrong with An Wuping's prosthesis, but the real strange feeling in his mind is definitely there.

Chen Ming knew about the existence of this thing, but he couldn't analyze what was left behind in Zuojia and what effect this thing had.

But the insect queen can analyze it.

As a technical support for making prostheses, and as a psychic creature, the insect queen can analyze valuable information from the things left behind.

As Chen Ming's request was conveyed to the Insect Queen, the Insect Queen's consciousness immediately appeared on An Wuping's body.

After a while.

The insect queen transmitted the content it analyzed through memory.

The psychic residue left behind by the glass bead psyker will take root in the human brain like a seed and can be reactivated under the control of psychic energy.

When triggered, these seeds can stimulate people's nerves and cause violent desires, and affect people's consciousness to a certain extent.

Chen Ming used the prosthesis he had just made to take out a box from An Wuping's pocket.

But since Chen Ming has noticed this in advance, this thing has completely lost its threat to him.

And this ectoplasmic stone produced by the fear of his death will resonate with an enemy who actually killed him.

A well-placed death can completely erase a lot of dirt from a person.

In other words, as long as the newly created prosthetic body needs to be controlled, it will be reproduced one to one according to the illusion.

Chen Ming stretched out his hand to his side, and the insect queen immediately cooperated with Chen Ming to derive some body tissue.

You can do this.

He stretched out his right hand again and let the special organs and tissues used by the insect queen to cover his right hand.

Then the consciousness of the psyker in this fear ectoplasm stone who only has the instinct of revenge and cannot even clearly identify Chen Ming's disguise will completely dissipate.

Instead, the insect queen made a small hatching capsule to maintain the vitality of this brain.

It has to be said that prostheses are sometimes very convenient. If you are missing an arm, a leg or even a brain, you can easily replace it with a prosthesis.

However, he was immediately crushed by Chen Ming's own mental power and retracted into the box.

It was the same as the illusion brought about by the Whispering Ectoplasm Stone that Chen Ming had originally received some mental influence from the dead pirate leader and transformed into a Lying Ectoplasm Stone.

As for the old brain left behind, Chen Ming was not in a hurry to get rid of it.

The emergence of a new resonance ectoplasm stone should be used to prove An Wuping's death in disguise, making everyone think it was a real death.

Immediately, he opened An Wuping's skull.

Even if the left path fails to guide successfully, there will definitely be a steady stream of dirty water thrown at it.

Then Chen Ming controlled the new prosthesis to move for a while, after getting used to the new prosthesis.

With the cooperation of the worm queen, he took out the brain that was parasitized by the seed and was actually useless, and then put in a new brain that the worm queen made on the spot.

As for who should kill An Wuping with the fear ectoplasm stone, Chen Ming already had a suitable idea in his mind, and it was an idea that was in his interests and could help him solve all the problems.

It just so happened that he had given An Wuping a temporary change of mind, either one or two. Would you like to take the opportunity to do this?
Without thinking too much, the answer is already determined.

This should be the psychic power of the psyker in Zuojia who can perform brainwashing. It was recorded by the glass bead psyker with his psychic power.

Now, Chen Ming directly opened the box containing the fear ectoplasm stone.

So that's it, it's not a big problem.

In the illusion, An Wuping's head suddenly exploded, blood and filthy blood spread all over the floor, and the illusion disappeared immediately.

Since Zuo Jing came once and tried to turn him into Zuo Jing and left things in his mind, he would definitely come a second time and use the things in his mind to guide him to do some evil things.

Then, using these body tissues, a brand new prosthesis that was exactly the same as An Wuping was made on the spot.

The dark color of fear instantly infected the surrounding environment.

But there's no rush.

And when he used the newly made prosthesis to hold the ectoplasm stone, in addition to the lingering fear.

Chen Ming's consciousness also transferred immediately, and An Wuping's body was temporarily handed over to the Queen of Insects for disposal.

Of course, it only has a slight impact on psykers, and the effect on ordinary people may be stronger.

Zuo Jing’s thoughts are evident.

Although Chen Ming still feels a little nervous about this scene, he has done this kind of thing before when he cooperated with the Queen of Insects to conduct prosthetic experiments, and he has done it quite a lot.

This is a box made of silent alloy materials collected on the space station. It is specially used to store two ectoplasm stones of fear and fascination obtained on the space station, in case what happened to the void psyker suddenly happens to him.

In addition, only An Wuping's appearance was clearly visible, and the rest was a blurry illusion that appeared in front of Chen Ming.

The seeds left behind by the left path in his brain cannot really threaten him, so in that case, he has to use the topic to his advantage.
In addition...

Although the effect of this thing is close to nothing for ordinary psykers, for a psyker suffering from berserk disease, a little stimulation may be fatal.

The existence of resonance ectoplasm stones should be considered knowledge that some people know.

Although Chen Ming can actually directly remove the psychic residue that invades the brain, it is obvious that replacing the brain with a new one is a better choice under the premise that the brain can be replaced at will.

Chen Ming couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

Chen Ming closed the box of the fear ectoplasm stone and put the ectoplasm stone away.

The brain must be kept for a while, so that the disappearance of the seeds will not be noticed by Zuo Jing.

However, An Wuping's body can be replaced in advance.

After all, dimensional infection marks from another dimension exist on the body.

It is also certain that the marked brain has been removed and can be discarded at any time, and it is time for the body to be replaced with a new one.

Chen Ming was originally thinking about finding an opportunity to change it, but the opportunity has come.

It would do him no good to continue to have the mark of a dimensional infection.

Even if it is used to prove identity, it will not work, because the president has clearly told Chen Ming that there is currently no stable method of testing people who have experienced dimensional infection.

There are only two samples in the empire that have experienced dimensional infection. They have not been able to meet each other and cannot summarize the rules at all. How can they possibly research such a device.

Therefore, there is no harm in cleaning up the markers of dimensional infection, only benefits.

In this way, Chen Ming no longer has to worry about problems such as accidentally encountering dimensional infection and triggering marks after entering the Caimo Star Territory.

Although it is unlikely that the Caimo Star Territory will experience a dimensional infection that could endanger the entire Star Territory, it is generally untouchable.

But... it's hard for Chen Ming to say, it's better to play it safe.

With the help of the new prosthesis that was just made, and the tentacles extending from the insect queen.

Chen Ming quickly transferred all non-biological components on An Wuping's body that would not be marked by dimensional infection.

The rest of the biological components were discarded for safety reasons, and only the Queen's ability was used to recreate them, cutting off any possibility of interaction with dimensional infection.

The new prosthesis that Chen Ming had just created quickly transformed into the new An Wuping in just a few minutes.

An Wuping, who originally had only the basic structure left, was not in a hurry to deal with it. He could save a little before entering the color ink, maybe it would be used for other purposes.

After settling this matter.

Chen Ming did not want to stay any longer.

He controlled the spacecraft to leave the port and set off again.

A few hours after Chen Ming left.

In the private room where Chen Ming had stayed before, two figures, one fat and one thin, pushed the door and entered the private room.

The two people were Liang Fei and Li Weiqi.

After seeing the clean box, Liang Fei said with a somewhat unhappy face: "It's a step too late, still four or five hours behind."

Li Weiqi also looked distressed and said: "An Wuping suddenly changed his rhythm and came here to resupply, which caused our reaction to be a beat slower. This guy really has anti-tracking awareness."

"Let the people in front continue to track first. We also have work to do here. An Wuping is not the only one who has the psychic fluctuations here."

Liang Fei said as he picked up the terminal and called up the surveillance at the door of the hotel's private room, and immediately locked on Qian Mian, who had never entered the private room, but walked out of the private room.

"Someone got in touch with An Wuping faster than us, we must speed up."

Four days later.

Chen Ming arrived at another colony in a prosperous star field that was still six days away from the Caimo Star Field on the hyperspace route.

The development level of this colony was more advanced than the two colonies where Chen Ming had stayed before. However, when Chen Ming first arrived here, he felt that some places here gave him a lifeless feeling.

It's as if everyone here has no future.

But he figured it out immediately.

As he went deeper into the empire and closer to the Caimo Star Territory, the sequelae of the dimensional infection became more severe.

What is the difference between a place with no newborn and no future?
Fortunately, there are only some places where he feels this way. There are still many places in this colony that have maintained a normal development trend due to the efforts of the empire these days.

At least there shouldn't be any problems in a short period of time. As long as the war goes smoothly later, everything will be fine.

However, Chen Ming had just signed a maintenance order with the maintenance factory at the port and planned to go to the colony to spend an hour or half an hour experiencing the local customs.

He suddenly noticed that there was a sudden movement in the head of An Wuping, who had been placed in a miniature incubation capsule and carried around in his backpack.

The psychic residue left in the brain really secreted irritating substances at this moment.

In other words.

Zuo Jing knew his location and took action directly.

And if An Wuping really went completely berserk in a place like this, the casualties of ordinary people would be enough to knock An Wuping down to the lowest level of the most vicious criminals.

An Wuping's face instantly darkened, and he quickly returned to the port.

The order for spacecraft maintenance was canceled, no deposit was required, and the supplies were not even replenished before they set sail and left the space station.

On the space station, a few people who had been lurking in the crowd and observing quietly communicated with each other, then integrated the information they collected and reported it to their superiors.

Qian Mian, who was based in this colony, felt a little relieved after receiving the report.

He confirmed the information, then picked up the terminal and contacted others and said: "An Wuping still can't let go of the hypocrisy in his heart. He should do as we predicted and make preparations."

After Chen Ming started the spacecraft and set sail.

He immediately entered hyperspace very purposefully and flew towards a nearby galaxy.

He had investigated nearby galaxies before, and one of them happened to be related to the left path on the space station that he slaughtered. There is also a space station there.

But the left path above was not evacuated.

Perhaps it was because Chen Ming had not handed over all the data in the database to the Audan government before, leaving some left paths that he was too bold to withdraw.

Or maybe it's because this space station has other arrangements for Zuojia.

But no matter which one it is, what he will do next will not change.

Chen Ming picked up the terminal and found the phone number of the anti-cult bureau in the local star field. He planned to use the same method as in the Aodan star field to ensure that someone would do the follow-up work.

But this time it was slightly different from the previous one.

This time, in order to prevent some accidents from happening, for example, Zuo Jing might have predicted that he would go to this space station, so he prepared a backup plan.

So Chen Ming had to roughly estimate the time before calling the Anti-Cult Bureau here called Beniu Star Territory.

Time it so that the government fleet arrives just after his massacre of the space station is over and he safely retreats.

Deal with the remnants of the Left Path on the space station, as well as the ordinary people who may have been abducted by the Left Path.

Chen Ming once again encountered the same problem as on the previous space station, but as before, it was impossible for him to actively expose his psychic powers to save people.

The most he can do is promise not to take the initiative to harm others.

At the same time, try to identify the target accurately and leave the task of protecting civilians to the local government.

This is the situation that best meets his needs.

At the same time, he also took out a second level of insurance.

Chen Ming dialed the number of the Anti-Cult Bureau in the Aodan Star Territory.

"Hello, this is the Anti-Cult Bureau. What help do you need?"

Chen Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this voice, because the person who answered the phone this time happened to be the operator who answered his call last time.

"Do you still remember my voice? Although I have changed my voice, it shouldn't have changed much, right?"

"You...I will notify the deputy director for you."

"Thank you."

Soon, the call was picked up by the deputy director, who said straight to the point: "Mr. An Wuping?"

"it's me."

Chen Ming also restored the original voice of An Wuping's prosthesis and said: "I'm not calling you this time to communicate with you or anything else. I won't communicate with anyone until I achieve my goal."

"That……"

"Don't ask me what my purpose is. My purpose is as you can see, to kill Zuo Jing. I just want to destroy Zuo Jing's most important plan at the moment."

"I am only calling you now to inform you of something. I say, listen."

The deputy director was not angry because of Chen Ming's attitude. Rather, for a psyker suffering from berserk disorder, such an attitude was quite acceptable.

"You say."

"Well, my mental state is very bad right now, so I found another Zuord space station nearby that I had contact with in the Zuord space station. I will send you the coordinates right away."

Chen Ming's words were telling him, the deputy director of the Anti-Cult Bureau, that he was going to kill someone again.

But the deputy director just listened silently at this time and did not stop him in any way.

"I don't know if your governments in different star regions can enforce laws across star regions, but I have informed you of the news. It will be up to you how to deal with it later."

"I understand, please..."

When the deputy director had just finished speaking and was about to say something else, Chen Ming immediately interrupted him and said: "I guess you still want to ask me about what happened at the supply place before, so I'll just tell you, Zuo Jing's People found me before your people did.”

"But my attitude is very clear, Zuo Jing must die."

"Well...I don't have time, that's it, goodbye."

"Wait a minute, we can help you treat..."

Before the deputy director finished speaking, Chen Ming had already hung up the phone.

He readjusted his body and adapted to the spiritual energy originating from the source of chaos.

Chen Ming arrived at the destination of his trip in silence.

This is also a galaxy located in a prosperous star field, but with few resources.

Only one mining space station responsible for collecting minerals from the asteroid belt exists in this galaxy, so it was also targeted by the Left Path and completed the penetration, becoming a Left Path stronghold.

So Chen Ming's goal of coming here this time is very clear.

At this moment, Qian Mian, who was on the space station, also used the space station's sensors to observe the ship belonging to An Wuping that had just come out of hyperspace.

Of course he knew what An Wuping was going to do next, but he obviously wouldn't stop it because that's what he wanted to see.

When something happened to their space station and laboratory in the Audan Star Territory, he knew that many places would definitely be implicated.

In his opinion, those places that were not attacked immediately by government departments and the military either had their protective umbrellas to help cover it up, or they were lucky enough not to be discovered, but it was only a matter of time before they were eventually attacked.

Therefore, the really important places would have been evacuated long ago as long as they were not surrounded and suppressed, and only such unimportant places would continue to exist, acting as human shields to attract firepower.

By the way, use the last remaining heat when necessary.

After thoroughly confirming the identity of the arriving spaceship, Qian Mian picked up the terminal and made a call: "How are the preparations going?"

The voice of the person whom Qian Mian had talked to many times came over the phone: "We have already set off, but doing so will lead to the liquidation of at least a group of people in our government. Is it worth it?"

"It's okay. As long as An Wuping can be brought in, the people being liquidated will have their value."

"You're out there on a mission and your judgment is the most important judgment. Don't let all of us down."

"I know."

Qian Mian hung up the communication and continued to wait for Chen Ming's arrival.

At this moment, Chen Ming was already very close to this crescent-shaped flat space station.

After the spacecraft entered the galaxy, Chen Ming left it in a dark corner of the galaxy early.

And he himself entered the insect form and flew all the way to the vicinity of the space station.

This mining space station looks very similar to the mining space station he once stayed in, so you can probably guess where the core area is.

It hit the core of the space station like a meteorite.

When the left-wing molecules come around.

Chen Ming also officially started the massacre.

Splattered blood and broken flesh and blood are becoming the mainstream of this space station.

A small amount of metallic liquid that could completely suppress psychic fluctuations penetrated into the space station with his arrival, secretly searching for the control hub of the space station.

Qian Mian looked at the massacre going on like a crazy Chen Ming. Not only was he not angry, but there was also a slightly proud look on his face.

He stood up and left the main control room of the space station, boarded a small shuttle boat, and quietly left the space station as soon as Chen Ming started the massacre.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The blood on the left path has gradually dyed every corner of the space station red.

Chen Ming deliberately slowed down the killing speed in the middle of the massacre, and took the time to run through the database here in order to find excuses for his subsequent actions of only killing Zuo Jing and not ordinary people.

At the same time, he is also always paying attention to the interior of the galaxy and the external observation signals of the space station.

Prevent other additions to the left path.

It is valuable for Chen Ming to devote his energy to paying attention to the situation of the galaxy.

Just as his massacre of the space station was coming to an end, a cruiser entered the normal universe from hyperspace at the edge of the galaxy.

It was a lone cruiser with government markings on it.

But instead of feeling relieved that someone came to help him deal with Zuo Jing's affairs, Chen Ming suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

This isn't right.

His estimate of time will be fine.

The local government will only arrive later, not earlier, let alone such a lonely cruiser that does not even have a fleet.

Chen Ming immediately came to the outer area of ​​the space station, ignoring all the people who came to attack him.

Just stand in the area that has been shrouded in vacuum, staring at the incoming government spacecraft.

After entering the normal universe, the spacecraft restarted its acceleration and flew towards the space station with a clear goal.

However, just as it had flown into the range of a large weapon from the space station.

Its shields have begun to deploy, and the muzzles of the large weapons are charging.

This cruiser wants to destroy the space station directly.

The government paint is just a disguise, it is a spacecraft belonging to the Left Path, and it wants to bury all evidence in this galaxy.

In this way, the protective measures taken by Chen Ming for the civilians on the space station will be completely useless.

An Wuping's actions and thoughts will be willfully twisted by others into weapons to attack him, leading him to the left path.

As expected, Zuo Jing still had a backup plan left, and he arrived a little earlier than Chen Ming thought.

But this is just a cruiser, so it's not like it can't be handled.

Chen Ming was standing at the edge of the space station that had been cleaned and confirmed to have no other living people.

In his insect form, he half-crouched on the ground and made a gesture of exerting force.

The muscles all over his body suddenly swelled.

The elytra on the back are open.

Biomass vents are ready to go.

A terrifying force suddenly acted on the space station beneath him.

Under the law of conservation of momentum, the space station was directly shattered by nearly a quarter of this force in the opposite direction.

With the blessing of this power, Chen Ming rushed towards the cruiser at a speed completely invisible to the naked eye.
