Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 282 Hu Yi arrives
Chen Ming already had a clear idea in his mind.

However, the exchange with Qian Mian was not over yet.

After Qian Mian answered Chen Ming's question, he pointed to the glass beads on the coffee table again and said, "Come on, choose one."

Chen Ming hesitated a little when choosing this time.

With so many glass beads, there’s not much to say about choosing Black Mist for the first time.

I just used Qianmian before, and the effect is very good.

For the second choice, a normal person should choose the glass bead whose psychic fluctuations left by Hu are more obvious than the others.

But Chen Ming is not a normal person. He already has several Heart Gathering Beads in his hand.

It was impossible for Qianmian to doubt anything just because of his choice of a glass bead.

Therefore, Chen Ming's final choice was a Heart Gathering Bead that exuded warm spiritual energy fluctuations.

Mutated mutant forms with realistic prototypes will conform to the logic of biological existence in reality and should exist in reality.

Therefore, the insect form that Chen Ming carefully designed based on the combination of Thorn Zerg and humans just fits the column of realistic prototypes.

For example, "When can Zuojia start the research on dimensional infection?" "What other results can be achieved with dimensional infection?" and so on.

And Thousand Faces knew that once this thing was over and it didn't even need to be over, the Empire had already begun to blockade the replacements they had found for their cloning experiments.

Chen Ming once again acted as a bully and questioned a few words, trying to get more words out of Qianmian's mouth.

Chen Ming just happened to have learned some relevant knowledge about physical mutation type psykers recently.

Their main focus now is on the Caimo Star Territory.

As long as the appearance of the Thorn Zerg and the plasma ability of the Aurora Wind Spirit are analyzed, the result will come out.

After Chen Ming made his choice.

In other words, the psychic beast was something that Chen Ming had just come into contact with, and Qianmian didn't realize the problem, so he spoke out.

So Chen Ming simply asked casually: "What benefits will it bring to you if you take the initiative to create dimensional infection?"

In the absence of more relevant intelligence evidence and deliberate restraint, nothing can be learned. It's useless to ask,

Not to mention that the empire will definitely increase its efforts to suppress them in the future.

Qian Mian said simply: "Then you can change the question, I have no objection."

Seeing An Wuping's frown, Qianmian immediately added: "This question does involve some privacy, but you have to know that physical mutation type psychic mutation will show up in the object, and sooner or later it will be analyzed by others. , you have to understand this, this is not a complete privacy issue."

That's why they want to use the ability of dimensional infection to strengthen their psykers, at least with the ability to manually create dimensional infection events.

Qian Mian didn't say much, because this really involved what they were doing, and he couldn't talk nonsense.

"Your psychic power is of the physical mutation type. What is the object of the mutation?"

"But in exchange, this time you can ask questions first."

Chen Ming would definitely not accept Qian Mian's answer: "I'm not satisfied with this answer."

But don’t think about more.

However, Chen Ming felt that even if these questions were asked, the answers he would get from Qianmian would only be empty words and meaningless.

Then Chen Ming still planned to follow Qian Mian's initiative and decide whether to speak based on his next answer. If the information given was not enough, forget it.

I don't have the ability and energy to investigate the appearance of countless species in the entire empire and their relationship with Chen Ming's psychic abilities.

Thousand Faces was right this time. The direction of a physical mutation psyker's mutation could indeed be analyzed.

"But I also have some understanding of dimensional infection, which requires human cloning technology. All the materials needed for human cloning technology have been blocked by the empire."

There is a very obvious difference between mutations with realistic prototypes and mutant psychic powers without realistic prototypes.

They really no longer have the ability to replicate the cloning experiment until a suitable new replacement is found.

"The harm caused by dimensional infection is very complicated. In short, you can think of it as a large-scale weapon that can also pose a threat to the empire. Such a weapon is worthy of our study."

Qian Mian spoke again: "Then the third question."

Because the questions he wanted to ask were a bit more purposeful, Qian Mian would definitely be very restrained, just like the question he just asked.

"Even the raw materials for weapons are blocked. Are your weapons really a deterrent?"

Although this is indeed not a too important issue, since it is related to An Wuping's disguise.

"Whether it is a deterrent depends not on what you think, but on what the empire thinks."

What else can Qian Mian do that he can't do?
So the question becomes, what questions should he ask Qianmian?
The only valuable question at the moment is that one, and enough information has been asked. If I ask more questions, I won't be able to find anything new.

Chen Ming even knew that the Aodan star field that first came into contact with him had analyzed the direction of his psychic mutation.

But this must not be said to An Wuping, a person who has just joined.

Chen Ming didn't expect Qianmian to recognize him so simply, and many questions he wanted to ask immediately came to mind.

"Row."

But for the left diameter.

The physical changes of physical mutant psykers without realistic prototypes will have an exaggerated and extreme change, which is very iconic.

Qian Mian just let Chen Ming continue to ask questions. He would never answer inappropriate questions anyway.

In his opinion, this deal was more of an attempt to open An Wuping's heart and allow him to gradually accept further cooperation with them.

This kind method is just a way to make peace with An Wuping, and other more bad methods will also appear in the future.

Just ask now, it's his business to answer or not.

Both of them knew each other's thoughts.

So Chen Ming thought about it for a while, and finally asked a somewhat broad question: "What is the purpose of Zuo Jing's organization? What do you want to do? Even if it is a cult, it must first build its base, right? But I I only see destruction, not construction.”

"Of course there is construction, and what is being built is the hearts of believers."

Sure enough, this kind of question can only get such an answer.

Although this may indeed be true, trying to analyze anything from this sentence is a dream.

Chen Ming also completely lost his patience and said directly to Qianmian: "The direction of my psychic mutation is the Thorn Zerg and Aurora Wind Spirit."

After saying that, he took a glass bead from the table.

"That's it. I really don't have anything to say to you. It's not interesting at all. Call me when you get there."

"it is good."

Qian Mian watched with a smile as An Wuping left the captain's room and walked to his room.

He was not angry at all and silently collected all the glass beads.

It was enough for him to figure out what happened in the space station laboratory using only three Heart Gathering Pearls and actually answering two ambiguous questions, as well as to figure out An Wuping's psychic effects.

He even told An Wuping, who had just walked out: "Remember not to crush multiple glass beads at the same time, otherwise you will become the monster you killed in the laboratory."

An Wuping obviously heard these words, but he didn't want to continue talking to Qianmian, so he turned the corner on the spaceship.

After confirming that An Wuping had completely left.

Qian Mian locked the door of the captain's cabin, took out his terminal, and contacted the person he had communicated with before.

"I haven't contacted you in a few days. How are you doing there?"

Qianmian's familiar voice came from the terminal: "No, we are still hiding with others."

"The Psychic Association seems to have been cornered. They asked Chen Ming for help. Several places they visited were surrounded by Chen Ming's Afterglow spacecraft."

"One time, if we hadn't run so fast, we might have been intercepted by Chen Ming."

Qian Mian's expression turned slightly ugly when he heard Chen Ming's name. Apparently this name had disgusted them for a long time: "Is that guy Chen Ming? It's really troublesome."

"Because of his relationship, our development speed in the Galo Star Territory has obviously slowed down. Many people who know him can no longer believe in our teachings."

"Hey."

Qian Mian said and suddenly sighed: "It was also my problem last time. I misjudged Chen Ming's ability and the time when the psyker of the Fourteenth Legion discovered me. Otherwise, there should be a chance."

"Don't think about the past. Let's talk about our present. I won't be able to hide for too long if I continue."

"His condition has begun to deteriorate and he is about to enter the final stage. In the final stage, he is not easy to move. It is time to find a place to stay and prepare for the final stage."

"As long as we survive, we can still have a place no matter how completely we are surrounded by the empire."

Qian Mian's expression finally became a little relieved: "Where is the final location?"

His words had just fallen.

At this time, Chen Ming, who was using his spiritual power to secretly observe the captain's room, only saw a cloud of black mist suddenly burst out from Qian Mian's body, completely covering him and the terminal in his hand, not giving anyone a chance to peep. .

Even on the spaceship, even if there had been no contact for several days, Qianmian was still extremely vigilant about such a critical matter.

Chen Ming clicked his tongue in displeasure.

I temporarily gave up observing the Thousand Faces in the black mist.

And in the dark fog.

A voice came from the terminal in Qianmian's hand: "We have been to the Luci Galaxy in Caimo-6 once before, and Chen Ming's Afterglow Fleet has also been there once. It should be dark under the lights."

"There happens to be an industrial colony over there with an earth-core furnace energy supply tower. I can ask him to help hypnotize the people over there and do regular maintenance on the furnace tower."

"You can hide while the energy supply tower is undergoing maintenance. During the next period of time, the underground should be safer than the ground."

Qianmian nodded and said, "I understand, and I will cooperate when the time comes."

"it is good."

The other end of the terminal responded, and after a short moment of silence, he suddenly said: "Now that the battle is so big, I don't know how it will end."

"Don't worry." Qianmian said, "You will win."

"I hope so. That's basically the case here. What's the situation on your side?"

Qian Mian summarized An Wuping's situation just now in his mind and said: "An Wuping's attitude is still the same as before. He didn't show much intention to resist, and he didn't say he had any idea of ​​continuing to cooperate with us."

"But it's still possible that he still wants to do something. We still can't expect too much from him. At least he must completely lose confidence in the empire."

"For the sake of stability, I haven't stimulated his madness in the past two days."

"If you want to slowly break through his psychological defenses, you won't be able to do it if you don't have time, so there is probably no other way before we really start. Let's treat him as an ordinary psyker for the time being."

"He has a lot of people's eyes on him. At that time, I will take him to a nearby but unrelated place and use him as bait."

"I'll be there in about four or five days. You'll let me know when you're ready."

Time flies.

Six days later.

Two days later than Chen Ming's original plan. After changing five more spaceships, Qian Miancai finally took Chen Ming to the edge of the border between the Red Ink Star Territory and the Caimo Star Territory next to Cai Mo.

A comprehensive colony.

As soon as he landed, Qian Mian said he would take Chen Ming to the Zuojiao stronghold here.

Chen Ming originally thought it would be some darker place.

But after arriving, Chen Ming discovered that Zuo Jing's stronghold was an ordinary-looking cafe.

It is relatively close to the edge of a few cities with relatively backward urbanization scale in the colony of this prosperous star field.

There are no high-rise buildings or shuttle boats traveling high in the sky.

Only the comfortable environment close to the countryside gives people a leisurely feeling.

However, the left diameter is always the left diameter,

As Chen Ming entered the basement of the cafe, he passed through a closed door.

The slogans written by leftist elements suddenly filled everything he could see.

Even though the basement is brightly lit, a dark and crazy atmosphere still lingers here.

There are no psychic fluctuations here, it is just an ordinary stronghold, not a psyker's stronghold.

After confirming this, Chen Ming ignored the people here and followed Qian Mian directly to a room with a glass door in a corner of the basement.

The other side can be seen clearly from both inside and outside the room.

But there is no one here now.

Qian Mian took Chen Ming and sat down here, signaling Chen Ming to wait for a while.

After waiting for about ten minutes.

Chen Ming heard heavy footsteps coming from the entrance to the basement.

A man in a cloak who was not tall walked down and walked straight towards Chen Ming.

The cloak covered most of his body, making it difficult to see his specific appearance.

It's hard to tell whether he's a boy or a girl, old or young.

But his steps are very heavy, he should be a strong man,

Chen Ming could not detect psychic fluctuations from him, but he did pay a lot of attention to the cloaked man.

After all, he had just analyzed Zuojia's dimensional infection a few days ago and it must have involved a psyker.

Maybe it's the one in front of me?

It's a pity that Chen Ming couldn't see anything from him. With Qianmian beside him, it was not easy for Chen Ming to use his spiritual power to release a trace amount of metallic liquid on the spot to track him.

The cloaked man pushed the door open and entered the small room, putting down two identity cards.

At this moment, Chen Ming finally found an opportunity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of touching the card, he reached out and touched the sleeve of the cloaked man. Iron atoms invisible to the naked eye had been contaminated by him on the cloak.

This was something he had prepared before. The mental power required to control this level of iron atoms was completely covered up by An Wuping's mental power, and there was no possibility of being discovered.

And when Chen Ming did this, the cloaked man's body suddenly shook slightly.

But he didn't say anything in the end, turned around and left here silently.

So far, Chen Ming's iron atoms can still clearly locate the cloaked man's whereabouts.

The cloaked man can be seen walking out of the cafe, boarding a shuttle boat, and heading into the city. It is still unclear what will happen next to him, and it will take time to confirm.

In the basement of the cafe, after confirming that the person had left, Chen Ming rubbed the card in his hand and said to Qianmian: "This card..."

Qian Mian finally put down the terminal, took away the card and said, "You need to keep the things you need first. You need more than this to enter the color ink. You have to wait for two days."

"You can wander around here for the next two days. You can live here or go to the city with me later. I'll let you know if there's any news."

"Aren't you worried about being discovered?"

"Can't you be careful not to be exposed? If you are exposed now, the result will be no different than if a left-winger who has carried out massacres is exposed. We are grasshoppers on the same rope."

"Okay, then I'd rather go to the city."

Qianmian nodded and said, "Wait for me for a moment, I have something else to do here."

He just wanted to get up and go out.

Suddenly, the basement door of the cafe was violently kicked open by something, making a loud noise.

Qian Mian hesitated and looked in the direction of the basement door with a frown.

Chen Ming's spirit was also slightly lifted, and he looked at the door expectantly.

A few seconds later, the person who had just kicked in the door walked into the basement.

Chen Ming also saw his appearance clearly.

It's Hu Yi.

Hu Yi had a dark face, and after scanning An Wuping's body, his eyes locked on Qian Mian.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying psychic energy fluctuations that Chen Ming had only seen in his boss surged throughout the basement.

Qian Mian suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't move!"

Just when Chen Ming was wondering that the raging spiritual energy fluctuations seemed to be doing nothing.

His sense of danger was suddenly triggered. An Wuping was in extreme danger at the moment, and the tingling feeling of danger in his mind was desperately sounding the alarm.

Chen Ming's expression became serious.

Because he finally discovered the problem.

In a small space that could almost be said to be close to An Wuping's skin, a huge amount of entropy suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The entropy was restrained by the spiritual energy, which was equivalent to a terrifying high fever being restricted around An Wuping's body.

Any violent movement will cause his body to come into contact with surrounding high heat.

At this time, the air around An Wuping had been distorted, and his naked eyes could no longer see clearly what was happening next to him.

But from the perspective of the other iron atoms that Chen Ming left in the basement, the entire basement environment was still maintained at the appropriate 24 degrees by the air conditioner.

Only near the people in the basement can there be terrifying heat caused by his psychic energy.

There was a leftist who didn't seem to want to listen to Qian Mian's words, and didn't realize the danger around him, so he stood up from his seat.

However, as soon as he made the move, his whole body was lifted into the air.

Not to mention the body, not even a speck of ashes was left.

This is Hu Yi's spiritual power.

Although the boss said that Hu Yi seemed to be mentally ill.

But the fact that he was able to force his boss to confront him there alone proved that he was definitely not a simple psychic.

At this moment, Chen Ming also discovered that his road to revenge seemed a little far away.

After being caught making the first move, it seemed difficult for him to take action against Hu Yi even if he relied on poor information.

Of course, although Chen Ming had temporarily given up his plan of revenge against Hu Yi after his boss came to talk to him a few days ago.

After all, Hu Yi did not harm him directly, and he was also ready to compensate.

But he still wanted to take revenge as An Wuping. If Hu Yi could really resist and survive, then forget it.

Anyway, Hu Yi probably couldn't tell that An Wuping was him.

Although he now feels that An Wuping is really difficult to attack Hu Yi, and there is even the possibility of being killed directly.

But even the most powerful psykers have weaknesses.

For example, Yan Xiong's weakness is inside his body, and he will be gone if he is blown up.

The weakness of the boss and himself is that he is too fragile and can easily get into trouble if his true form is found.

So Hu Yi definitely has some kind of weakness that can be targeted.

Chen Ming firmly believed this, so he felt a little more relaxed.

But his vigilance against Hu Yi did not diminish at all.

Chen Ming had never been in contact with Hu Yi before, so he looked down upon him. But from today on, Chen Ming will deal with Hu Yi with great care.

At this moment, Wu An, who was also in Caimo Star Territory, but next door to Caimo-1, finally received Hu Yi's message.

After confirming that Hu Yi had found An Wuping and Qianmian through the news given to him by Chen Ming, he had a slight smile on his face, a smile that looked like fun.

He supported Hu Yi in causing trouble for Zuo Jing, and also supported Chen Ming in using An Wuping's identity to seek revenge.

I support Hu Yi because Zuo Jing has dared to act like a clown in his face.

I support Chen Ming because, after all, Hu Yi is also a psyker of the same level as him. Although there are differences between the same levels, the differences between the same levels are much larger than the direct differences between different levels.

So for Chen Ming, fighting a psyker who is one level above him is the best way for him to understand which level of his abilities he is on.

So Wu An is now looking forward to what will happen next.

Of course, Chen Ming also said that he would take action after solving Zuo Jing's trouble. Wu An also told Hu Yi not to attack An Wuping, so it would not have any impact on the next thing.

At this moment, in the left path stronghold, the basement of the cafe.

Hu Yi pushed the door open and walked into the room in the corner.

He threw a photo on the table and said to Qianmian: "Here, give me an explanation."

Chen Ming glanced at the photo.

This photo was exactly what Hu Yi recorded when he assassinated him at the branch of the Fourteenth Army Corps.

Now the situation in this scene has been determined. It was Zuo Jing who assassinated him, and it was the Qianmian in front of him who carried out the assassination. In the end, the blame was placed on Hu Yi.

Qian Mian suddenly exploded into a ball of black mist, bypassing the cage of entropy surrounding him, and appeared at the door of another closed room.

"Come in and talk."

Hu Yi put the photo away and followed Qian Mian into a small room.

Everyone outside, including Chen Ming, was left trapped in the cage.

Half an hour later, when the two appeared again, their expressions were very satisfied for some reason.

Hu Yi patted his shoulder as if he knew Qian Mian very well and said, "Okay, okay, let me see what confidence you have."
