Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 296 Wrong Trust, Right Trust

Li Sheng's movement of raising his hand blocked everything the deputy had to say.

Since he had given the order, there was no way he could stop midway.

not to mention.

"I just need you to say that we didn't detect An Wuping's biological signal, so is it difficult to judge that An Wuping died in the battle with the left-path psyker?"

The deputy felt a headache when he thought that An Wuping's death might lead to several parties, especially the Psychic Association and the Audan Star Territory, coming to question him.

If there was really clear evidence that An Wuping died in the battle, he would have enough excuses to push the matter away.

But the situation is obviously different now.

It was Li Sheng who ordered the fire to clear the ground.

And An Wuping may die under Li Sheng's order after experiencing the battle with the psyker from Zuo Jing. This is the key.

Such a force cannot be sent away directly by anyone.

If this incident only happened in a few galaxies from beginning to end, and the scale was smaller, then their Fifth Legion would not have the advantage at all, let alone take away a certain right to speak from the Psychic Association.

"Everyone has research plans for dimensional infection. When Zuojia announces those things, he doesn't care who has access to them."

"We can't preserve those samples at all, and they will eventually fall into the hands of other forces."

In this incident of Cai Mo, the main reason why their fifth legion had the right to speak was because the matter was blown out of proportion, and the emergency situation had to require the support of a legion.

The deputy didn't pay attention to Li Sheng's attitude, after all, he was used to it.

But as Li Sheng's deputy, he is naturally responsible for civilian affairs, which means that he needs to face the doubts and inquiries of these two families.

"But why is Odan the biggest beneficiary?"

The attitude towards An Wuping given by the Psychic Association was quite friendly, which was completely opposite to them.

"Can……"

"Ordinary people don't do this. Someone is teaching him how to do things behind his back."

"Others? Account? Account for what? If a person is completely dead, there is no need to explain to others."

But psychic societies are different.

Of course Li Sheng knew what his deputy was thinking, so he directly used the words of the president to gag him: "You know the warning given by the president of the Psychic Association, right?"

The deputy said, "I remember that galaxy..."

There are some people who fish in troubled waters within the association, but most of them are psychics who are willing to do things that are beneficial to the empire when necessary, that is, when their own interests coincide with the interests of the empire.

Li Sheng answered his own question and commented on Hu Yi as if he was very familiar with him: "The difference between him and An Wuping is that An Wuping will clean up things that violate human morality and ethics when he sees them."

"In the end, the biggest beneficiary turned out to be Ao Dan, who had nothing to do with anything. Can you accept this situation?"

You don’t need to let the Psychic Association get involved too much. After all, the scope of the matter is too large and the Psychic Association cannot fully control it.

Moreover, the Aodan Star Territory is not comparable to Caimo Bapolian in terms of location alone. The forces in the Star Territory are not doing things nearby, so the Fifth Army does not need to care too much.

"Whether it's the Psychic Association or the Fanchao Research Institute, they all have the ability to steal these things from us."

Li Sheng is the commander and is basically only responsible for combat matters.

Even their main fleet had a certain scale of civil strife before their trip, and no one could deny their misery.

Li Sheng pointed at the deputy's nose and asked: "Let me ask you, for us, what is the biggest benefit we can get from this incident in the Caimo Star Territory?"

"Hu Yi was taken to another galaxy by Zuo Jing before. Like An Wuping, Zuo Jing used him as a bait to distract our combat effectiveness."

As soon as the deputy's words came out, he was interrupted by Li Sheng with a hint of anger: "The recipient of Zuo Jing is dead, his psychic effects have completely failed, and the power of dimensional infection has disappeared. All the losses we have suffered in front of us have been made." All efforts were in vain.”

"And don't ignore one person, Hu Yi. He has a problem with his logic. It's obvious that he has a good overall view, but he tends to make mistakes in small matters that Aunt Xu makes quick decisions."

"Those research results published by Zuo Jing? Our Fifth Legion has unprecedented control over the Cai Mo Star Territory. We can rely on the samples left by Zuo Jing in the Cai Mo Star Territory for research."

The deputy was silent and did not dare to respond. Of course he knew how much their fifth legion had suffered, and he also knew how heavy such a loss was for Li Sheng.

"An Wuping has experienced two dimensional infections. Each dimensional infection is equivalent to providing a coordinate to another dimension,"

Li Sheng denied: "Resolving Zuojiao is beneficial to everyone."

"Before the psyker in Zuojiao was killed by An Wuping, news that the galaxy had been recovered had already been reported there."

But psychic associations must be respected.

"Our fleet lost the battle in that galaxy and left the entire galaxy to Zuo Jing. The strongest person in that galaxy is Hu Yi."

"Such a person may still have some value while alive and someone will protect him, but if he dies, no one will care at all."

The president of the Psychic Society can currently be regarded as one of the top psykers in the entire empire.

"Who did it? It can only be him."

Forget about the key Aodan Star Territory. Aodan participated in the Caimo matter purely by shameless means, and their main demands can be blocked.

He thought carefully for a while and asked tentatively: "Resolve the left path?"

Taking all these factors into account, the deputy said to Li Sheng in a very embarrassed tone: "It's mainly because it's hard to explain to others."

Although the Psychic Society has always been a loose organization, it has always kept in step with the Empire.

"This can be seen from what An Wuping did. In all the Zuojia strongholds he visited, there was not a single Zuojia alive, and not a single Zuojia research result could survive."

"An Wuping's attitude towards these things is to completely clean them up, leaving only some paper evidence to prove the existence of these studies."

"But for Hu Yi, since he was able to cooperate with people connected with Zuojia before, leaving these samples on the Zuojia space station now is definitely not a problem."

"And Hu Yi has never been removed from the Psychic Association... Do you remember how Hu Yi got on the wanted list of psykers before?"

Without waiting for the deputy to answer, Li Sheng answered himself: "Hu Yi took the initiative to assist in attacking Chen Ming, who has a close relationship with the president of the Psionic Association and is also the most outstanding newcomer of the new generation of the Psionic Association. He has not been removed. "

"Think about what's going on inside."

Li Sheng said in a warning tone: "So we are not the only force that has obtained Zuojing research samples. This is not our greatest benefit. Keep thinking."

The deputy already figured out the answer from what Li Sheng just said: "Is that An Wuping himself?"

This time Li Sheng did not refute and admitted: "It's him."

"A 5-year-old who has just returned from a disappearance, has no power affiliation, can lurk and endure, has experienced two dimensional infections in a row and still survived, and killed the source of dimensional infections, and has the strength to kill multiple high-level left-path psykers in a row. Super psychic, are people like this the biggest benefit in this matter?"

"Think again about how An Wuping came here?"

According to the recorded content, the deputy quickly gave an answer: "After clearing a Zuojia space station in the Aodan star field, he ran all the way to Caimo openly. He was framed by Zuojia's design on the way and got into Zuojia. He arrived at the Caimo Star Territory, and finally he entered the hyperspace through his own body and came to Luxi through some kind of psychic ability."

After finishing speaking, the deputy added: "Only the last paragraph of the record is a bit vague, the rest can be determined."

Li Sheng asked: "So which forces are involved in this colorful ink incident?"

"None of them, except for Ao Dan who was not involved in the Cai Mo incident at all."

"Yes."

"He helped Audain, and Audain helped him."

"The last time Zuo Jing designed him, Aodan also had a negative attitude towards his rebellion and joining Zuo Jing."

"Just a while ago, two An Wuping appeared at Yunluo's energy supply tower. After confirming that one of them was fake and was disguised as Zuo Jing, Aodan was also the first to jump out to clear An Wuping's name. "

"Do you still remember what happened when Aodan quietly changed his hometown to An Wuping? Aodan had already become a joke before, dragging a level 5 psyker who committed a serious crime into his own star field."

"Who would have thought that we would be the ones who became the joke in the end?"

"I suffered the greatest loss, but failed to get the greatest benefit."

"There is a connection between Aodan and An Wuping that we don't know about, so where do you think An Wuping will go in the end? Who can get the greatest benefits?"

The deputy already understood what Li Sheng was thinking. If he can't get it, then others shouldn't want it either.

Although a bit harsh, this is indeed an option that can be chosen when necessary.

but……

"...Why don't we try to recruit An Wuping?"

"I tried."

The deputy was stunned, why didn't he know about this?

Li Sheng explained: "I specifically found the people closest to An Wuping. They were the ones I sent to find the recipients of Zuo Jing. You know them."

The deputy suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.

How could he not know about the people Li Sheng sent out? All of them are psychics, all of them are arrogant and have extremely poor qualities.

If Li Sheng hadn't been helping them wipe their butts all the time, they would have offended a lot of people.

It would be okay to give them some tasks such as combat reconnaissance and infiltration.

Isn't it a joke to give them the task of recruiting civilians and ask them to find An Wuping?
The deputy was about to persuade Li Sheng to stop clearing Yun Luoxing, and then sent some suitable people to try to recruit An Wuping.

Li Sheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table next to him.

The deputy raised his head slightly and saw Li Sheng's eyes.

This look contained complex emotions.

But the deputy could clearly see the dissuasion in his eyes, telling him not to say anything.

The deputy could also clearly see the deepest ruthlessness in Li Sheng's eyes.

He immediately lowered his head and pressed his lips tightly.

The situation was clear: Li Sheng deliberately asked those guys to recruit An Wuping.

Li Sheng seemed to have some extra purpose.

The deputy didn't understand the reason, but Li Sheng was older than him in the Fifth Army, stayed longer than him, and made more contributions than him.

As Li Sheng's deputy, he can assist Li Sheng in doing things. He should point out questions only when Li Sheng clearly made some fundamental mistakes.

This is nothing now.

Moreover, when their Fifth Legion internally decided whether to obtain the power of infection from this dimension released by Zuojia.

This proposal was the most critical vote cast by Li Sheng. It was Li Sheng who took the initiative to let him take command and took the risk to hold the battle himself.

And he also sent important cronies to work on the planet occupied by Left Path, which was at risk of dimensional infection breaking out at any time.

It can be said that Mr. Li is greedy for credit, but the danger he faces is also real.

This kind of people,

They will definitely not do anything harmful to the Fifth Army as a whole.

The deputy looked at Li Sheng with eyes full of trust.

Li Sheng also slowed down his tone when he saw this: "So this is no longer my own preference, but a problem of our Fifth Army."

"The biggest loss and the smallest gain, everyone will see our joke."

"I'm also reluctant to do this kind of thing."

"Anyway, An Wuping is a psyker with extreme hatred for Zuo Jing, which is good,"

"But instead of being good to us, his existence will make us lose our prestige, so we have nothing to do."

Do we...

The deputy suddenly felt that he understood something and nodded.

"Then let's go and deal with this matter. If necessary, pretend to be dead and get over it with a few scoldings."

"Learn from those politicians. Their thick skin is thicker than the armor of a battleship. As long as you are thick-skinned and don't violate the bottom line, what can't you do?"

The deputy fully understood what Li Sheng meant, was ready to handle the whole matter, and turned around and left the command room.

But just ten meters after he walked out of the command room, he suddenly thought of a question.

What if An Wuping is still alive? If such a psyker survived, wouldn't it cause problems with their prestige?
He wanted to turn around and ask, but in the end he didn't turn around.

Li Sheng always has his own reasons for doing things, and he should have thought about various possible developments before ordering this matter.

Or make a plan so that a certain situation will never happen.

He continued to walk out.

Li Sheng in the command room looked at the door that had just closed, thinking in his mind whether he needed to replace his deputy with one who would not have so many problems.

In the command room, Li Sheng and his deputy explained the reasons for what he did.

Chen Ming was still driving on the way to Kongtian Airport.

However, the speed of ground vehicles is too slow compared to the speed of battleships in space.

According to Chen Ming's calculations, if he continued at this speed, he would never be able to get to the airport in time and find a suitable spaceship to escape.

If he chooses to enter the insect state, his mental strength will not be enough to support him to reach the nearest airport or directly leave the planet's atmosphere.

Even if you dig underground, you won't be able to dig deep enough to withstand the thermal pulse laser.

It seemed like it was really too late.

An Wuping seemed to be dead.

Fortunately, the impact is not too big. After all, An Wuping is just a prosthesis. It is meant to replace Chen Ming to do some dangerous things that he cannot do in person. Death should be the destination of the prosthesis.

Just wait quietly for death and get a new one later.

It's a pity that the fused origin of chaos in An Wuping's heart was a pity.

It will be gone before it can be used.

wrong.

Speaking of the origin of chaos, Chen Ming suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a spiritual power that could save An Wuping's life.

The [Spiritualization] that passively transforms the body into a pure spiritual body when the psychic is about to die.

Although his mental power seems to be insufficient now, if he accumulates mental power from now on and only transforms part of his body, he should be able to protect a small part of his body.

As long as one part can be protected, such as the core of the Zerg that is integrated with the origin of chaos, which is An Wuping's heart, An Wuping can survive.

Although I don’t know whether the protective prosthesis will affect Chen Ming’s mental state, but how can I know if I don’t try it?
His ability to perceive danger is not free of charge.

After Chen Ming thought of this, he immediately calmed down, stopped all actions that might deplete his mental power, and silently waited for his mental power to recover.

While waiting, Chen Ming suddenly thought of another thing, that is, his prosthesis at the branch of the 14th Army was still on the phone with the president, and the communication had not been disconnected.

So Chen Ming immediately asked the president a question that he was very concerned about: "Who is the commander of the Fifth Army who ordered the land washing?"

"Why do you ask?"

Chen Ming couldn't say that he was looking for a chance to retaliate when An Wuping failed. He immediately gave a reason and said: "Ask me, that An Wuping has the same purpose as us. In the end, I was stabbed in the back by this person, and I don’t want to follow the same path as An Wuping.”

This answer was reasonable and reasonable, and the president had no doubts and told Chen Ming the answer: "There is a commander from the fifth headquarters named Li Sheng."

"He was supposed to go to the front line to alternate with the Seventh Army, but this time the Fifth Army was seriously injured. I estimate that the Seventh Army will continue to be stationed on the front line until the Fifth Army recovers."

"The Fifth Legion will definitely not be running around during this period. You have little chance to meet him. Even if he behaves like a villain, it will not affect you. Don't pay too much attention to him."

"understood."

Chen Ming wrote down Li Sheng in his notebook.

Li Sheng has been in the limelight recently and is definitely not easy to target.

But as long as Cai Mo's matter becomes less heated after a while, he will be in the dark and Li Sheng will be in the light, there will always be a chance for him to come back with revenge.

Personal matters will be put aside for now.

Chen Ming continued to ask about the official business of the Psionics Association: "How many psychics have been exposed to dimensional infection this time? Will the pressure on you to prevent and control dimensional infection be too great?"

"Don't worry about this, I've already made a lot of preparations here."

"And those psychics also know that their lives are their own, and there is no need to fill in the lines for others."

"Yunluoxing evacuated many people as soon as problems arose. The number of psykers who were not evacuated who were actually exposed to dimensional infection is not large, and they can all be detected."

"At that time, the lists of these people will be listed separately, and opportunities will be found for unified management or decentralized management. As long as they are no longer exposed to matters related to dimensional infection."

“You don’t have to worry too much about prevention and treatment problems.”

"The number of people who are exposed to dimensional infection and can survive will be much smaller than you think."

Chen Ming interrupted and asked: "Approximately how many psychics have experienced dimensional infection?"

"There are already more than twenty psykers. Counting that there may be more in the future, the total number is not expected to exceed forty."

"There should be no more than twenty people who survive in the end."

Chen Ming asked with some surprise: "Even psykers have such a high mortality rate?"

"Yes, it seems that many people were exposed to dimensional infection and left alive, but their survival is only temporary."

"If they cannot use psychic energy to completely protect themselves until they are out of the area directly affected by the dimensional infection, even if they only relax for half a second, the dimensional infection will completely penetrate into their bodies."

"Even if you can get treatment in time and perform organ removal surgery, the survival rate will not be too high."

"This is because the target of this dimensional infection is the intestines. If it were other organs, the consequences would be more serious and the mortality rate would be higher."

"These are the results I analyzed through the data model I established, and they should be quite different from the reality."

Chen Ming really doesn’t know much about how to improve the survival rate of psykers affected by dimensional infection. After all, as far as he knows, he and the president are the only psykers who have survived from dimensional infection so far. Individually, only the president can study this specifically.

However, this did not prevent him from coming up with an idea: "Can cryo-sleep temporarily prevent the spread of dimensional infection?"

"No, dimensional infection does not occur when people are in hibernation. Once a psychic is infected by a dimensional infection, surgery must be performed immediately. A slight delay may lead to comprehensive organ infection and spread to other organs."

"The effects of dimensional infection have become serious. Psykers are no different from ordinary people."

Chen Ming couldn't help but said: "This is like a special kind of cancer."

"Cancer has been conquered long ago, and cancer cells will not get up and fight with doctors on the operating table."

"So this is another reason that limits the survival rate of psykers infected by the dimension. We don't have that many doctors who at least have certain psychic abilities and can use the equipment I designed to protect themselves."

"Although it is barely possible to use medical robots in conjunction with ordinary psykers, it will definitely not be as efficient as a dedicated psyker doctor."

"So there are really very few people who can survive dimensional infection."

"There is no need for prevention and treatment."

At the same time that Chen Ming's prosthetics from the Fourteenth Legion were communicating with the president about the dimensional infection.

An Wuping had stopped the car and was waiting quietly on the side of the road.

Constantly gathering spiritual power, preparing for spiritual transformation.

Of course, it is also possible that the spiritual transformation will be ineffective and An Wuping will be directly vaporized by the direct heat pulse laser.

After all, black mist spiritual energy can be restricted by strong light, and it is unknown whether some life-saving spiritual energy can take effect under the bombardment of the main-level weapons of the battleship.

While Chen Ming was resting on the spot, there were already some flesh and blood monsters around him, following the movements he made and getting closer, wanting to assimilate An Wuping into one of them.

And further away, the red meteors that are enough to destroy a cruiser with a shield activated in a single shot are constantly leaving horrific scars on the surface.

Chen Ming could even see two or three scattered shuttle boats belonging to unknown forces leaving the planet in a hurry.

I don’t know if these psykers, who were notified too late and must have been infected by the dimension, can seize this last chance.

Chen Ming didn't pay attention to them. For him, An Wuping's spiritual transformation was the most important thing.

Just when he gradually slowed down his heartbeat and completely concentrated his mind to prepare for the coming danger.

He suddenly saw with sharp eyes a shuttle boat that was still in the air in the distance. Suddenly he seemed to notice his side, turned a corner close to a right angle, and flew towards this direction at high speed.

At the edge of the open hatch of the shuttle boat was Liang Fei, the psyker from the Aodan Star Territory who had chased An Wuping all the way.

Liang Fei was seen holding the cabin with one hand and stretching out the other hand.

A chain made of psychic energy waves appeared from his palm and was thrown out in the direction of An Wuping.

"Hurry up!"
