Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station.

Chapter 434 Crazy
The last time Chen Ming entered the Scarlet, for various reasons, he was forced to leave the damaged scavenger robot in the Scarlet.

He tried to find it later, but he couldn't find it.

I originally thought that it was the characteristics of the dimension that caused the scavenger to disappear into it, but I didn't expect that he was taken away by a brainwashed psychic.

The scavengers left in the scarlet dimension have now had Chen Ming's control effect washed away by the scarlet substance.

If it weren't for those familiar mechanical structures, Chen Ming wouldn't even be able to tell that this was his scavenger.

"This thing poses no threat to me. You should know that."

Chen Ming's indifference after the accident was within the expectations of the brainwashed psychic. He said, "Of course I know it poses no threat to you. Its value is more just to lock you down."

"You've definitely lost control of this thing, but it still has a connection to you."

Chen Ming could guess why the brainwashed psychic knew there was no connection between him and the scavengers.

When the process of the brainwashed psychic merging the remnants of the scavenger robot and the Scarlet Eye, two similar-looking things, together was not stopped, it was enough to prove that Chen Ming really had no control over it.

But Chen Ming did not expect that the scavenger robot could actually locate his position in reverse.

This should not be a problem of psychic power, but a problem of scarlet power.

Chen Ming's psychic power controls anything and there is no psychic fluctuation.

But the impact that the scarlet power brings to these things is obviously different.

Chen Ming had previously driven scavengers into the Scarlet Dimension, and had also used the Scarlet Power to influence the scavengers to a certain extent, which of course would cause the Scarlet Power to remain on them.

Naturally, they will also be tracked by brainwashed psychics.

This is a two-way situation.

If Chen Ming can find a way to find something related to the brainwashed psychic, he can also use it to trace back to the past.

Unfortunately not.

When the brainwashed psychic separated from his body and transformed into a pure consciousness, his body was shattered by the aftermath of psychic power when Chen Ming fought with the survivors' nanorobots.

Otherwise, Chen would have taken the opportunity to chase him down long ago. How could he have given the brainwashed psychic the chance to stand here and speak today?

Chen Ming did not comment on the brainwashed psychic's words and asked, "Just lock me?"

"More than that, it has two functions."

The brainwashed psychic said this while extending two fingers covered with brain patterns towards Chen Ming, which made Chen Ming feel sick.

"One is to lock you down and keep you on the planet by force, like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, the brainwashed psychic's consciousness suddenly established an extremely close connection with the surrounding scarlet power.

A large amount of scarlet power swept towards Chen Ming.

These scarlet forces did not give Chen Ming a sense of danger, but the moment they completely filled Chen Ming's surroundings.

Chen Ming discovered that his scarlet power was stuck to the spot by this scarlet power.

It is impossible to leave here without being affected in a short period of time.

This is an effect achieved by utilizing the fact that all scarlet powers originate from the scarlet dimension.

The brainwashed psychic assimilated his own power with the power of the scarlet dimension, and actively involved this power with Chen Ming's power, and actively sacrificed his own scarlet power to Chen Ming.

In essence, it is equivalent to sharing the scarlet power with Chen Ming, and using this shared power to confine Chen Ming to the scarlet dimension.

This is a more effective way to block Chen Ming's whereabouts than closing the rift between the normal universe and the scarlet dimension.

"interesting."

The brainwashed psychic in the distance was not surprised at all to see that Chen Ming did not dodge at all and was left there.

The means he used were indeed not offensive, and Chen Ming came here just to kill him.

There is absolutely no way Chen Ming would leave before he died.

"In fact, my power level is the same as yours."

"The strength of your scarlet power comes from your understanding of scarlet, while the strength of my scarlet power... comes from the fact that I have been with scarlet for too long."

"You have mastered many more powerful powers besides Scarlet, so in the development of Scarlet power, you are not as good as me."

"In Scarlet, as long as I am willing to pay the price, even you won't be able to escape easily."

After being blocked by the brainwashed psychic, Chen Ming really couldn't leave easily.

Not only because of the limitations of the Scarlet Dimension, but also because this method almost costs one's life.

Brainwashed psychics are always actively giving away their power rather than converting it into their own use.

Doing this in a short period of time can indeed allow him to control more power belonging to the Scarlet Dimension before the mark belonging to him on the released power dissipates, thus causing trouble for the enemy.

But once this method is used too much, the lost power will not come back on its own, and will eventually endanger oneself.

At this time, Chen Ming could already see that the brainwashed psychic's consciousness was becoming weaker.

The reason for this was simply to force him to stay where he was.

No wonder the brainwashed psychic said he would die today.

He was actively tearing himself apart, allowing everything in his consciousness to become the foundation for this power.

And what he just said were his last words.

Even for a madman like him, it is difficult to die alone and silently when he really faces death. He has to say what he wants to say before he dies.

Then, find a way to pull someone together to walk to the underworld.

But if that's all, it's not enough.

It was not enough to make Chen Ming go on the road with him.

Chen Ming raised his left hand, and another giant blue hand pressed down from mid-air.

Once again, the brainwashed psyker dodged, and though he was visibly weaker, his reflexes were still there.

While the brainwashed psychic was hiding, Chen Ming asked, "And then? Don't tell me that's all."

"Of course there are others..."

The sound of the brainwashed psychic's consciousness became somewhat unclear, and it seemed that it was in danger of dissipating at any time.

But Chen knew clearly that he would not die before he had done what he was supposed to do.

As the brainwashed psychic's words fell.

The scarlet power of the scarlet mechanical eye floating behind him was mobilized, and the mechanical eye, which originally exuded the absolute aura of the scarlet eye, suddenly exuded a power similar to Chen Ming's.

Its violently fused half-mechanical, half-biological structure suddenly began to further deeply fuse, as if Chen Ming's psychic power was really acting on it.

At this moment, the brainwashed psychic's consciousness established a connection with the Scarlet Mechanical Eye.

Chen Ming immediately understood where the Crimson Brain, which had been used as a mount for brainwashed psychics in the Crimson Dimension, had gone.

At the same time, he also understood what the brainwashing psychics were trying to do.

No wonder he wanted to use himself as bait to infect this planet in the normal universe with scarlet, and even let the scarlet dimension completely invade here to see that this place was completely assimilated.

He wanted to make this place a part of the Scarlet Dimension and give it some of the characteristics of the Scarlet Dimension.

He wanted to... create a situation where two similar scarlet creatures were fighting, just like the last time, when Chen Ming fought with Scarlet Heart.

"too weak."

Chen Ming thought that the idea of ​​brainwashing psychics was a good one, but the actual effect was not very good.

"Even so, you can't beat me in scarlet power."

"After all, you are just a half-human, half-scarlet creature monster, and I am the one who truly controls the power of the scarlet."

"Yes."

The brainwashed psychic agreed with Chen Ming's words, but he added: "But let me ask you a question, do you dare to let your scarlet mechanical heart come over?"

"Can you, can you get your scarlet mechanical heart over here?"

Chen Ming turned his head and looked around.

This place is now a space that was originally part of the normal universe and has been completely infected by scarlet.

This space is still separated from other places in the normal universe because Chen Ming took the initiative to block this area when he first came here.

After being completely infected by the scarlet here, he maintained a fragile balance, so that the scarlet would not escape his control.

If the Scarlet Mechanical Heart in the Scarlet Dimension wants to come over, it will definitely burst this small area of ​​scarlet infected space which is not very vast and is confined to the periphery of the planet.

The scarlet will spread completely.

"No wonder..."

The current situation makes it impossible for the Scarlet Mechanical Heart controlled by Chen Ming to directly confront the Scarlet Mechanical Eye controlled by the brainwashed psychic.

He can only mobilize the power of his heart to a certain extent, and cannot use all of it.

But it’s different with the brainwashed psychics.

When two scarlet creatures of the same type with a large difference in power are fighting, the scarlet dimension will give extra care to the weaker one.

When Chen Ming fought with Scarlet Heart before, the Scarlet Dimension gave Chen Ming extra power.

And now...

The Crimson Power in the brainwashed psyker has become very obvious.

The power that had just been lost even showed signs of returning.

The voice of the brainwashed psychic became much clearer: "I know that these are not enough to defeat you. Your growth and strength are truly unprecedented to me."

"So I have something else prepared for you."

The brainwashed psychic suddenly inserted the limbs of his own consciousness, which were probably hands, into his torso, and fumbled around a few times, pulling out a mass of dark substance.

"You know best what this thing is."

"Fragments of the nightmare plane."

"Yes."

"I have controlled many people before. Although I may not be able to remember all the memories of those I controlled, I still have some impression of them."

"I will remember the memories of some people I care about very carefully."

"For example, I know all the memories of the leader of your negative matter research team."

"So I know how to use negative matter, and I also know what use this thing will have in the Scarlet Dimension."

Chen Ming stared at the brainwashed psychic in silence, not knowing what to say.

The ability of brainwashing psychics is really powerful.

Regardless of the effect of psychic power itself, even if it is just to extract the memories of others by controlling them, filtering out memories related to other people and things, leaving only memories related to knowledge, this effect...

However, the brainwashed psychic used this power for this kind of thing.

Chen Ming didn't say what he wanted to say. He just said, "So you want to repeat what you did before."

The brainwashed psychic admitted Chen Ming's statement and said, "You used the phase space to escape last time. Can you escape again this time?"

He simply stuffed the fragments of the Plane Nightmare's body into the piece of flesh and blood underground.

He wanted to use negative matter to infect the entire planet, allowing the properties of negative matter to transform the entire planet into a black hole.

The black holes that appear in the scarlet dimension will be transformed into a special "red hole".

No one knows where the red hole will lead to.

"Scarlet can't help me, and the survivors can't help me, but the mechanical race can. This is the first time I've discovered that the mechanical race has such strong abilities."

"You are the biggest threat to the mechanical race in the current empire. Come with me and let only death remain in the world."

Chen Ming suddenly asked, "The mechanical race only has extreme hatred towards humans, don't you know that?"

"Of course I know, but they will also clean up the Scarlet. The Scarlet will kill all creatures except the Mechanicals, and the Mechanicals will kill the Scarlet. That's enough."

The brainwashed psychic knew that if he wanted what he expected to happen, he only needed to get rid of Chen Ming, who posed the greatest threat to the mechanical race.

He used himself as bait, the scavengers left behind by Chen Ming as anchors, and used the fragments of the Plane Nightmare's corpse obtained from Chen Ming as keys to open the red hole.

He would never let Chen Ming escape from the gravitational range of the red hole. He would realize his idea at the cost of his own life.

"The mechanical race has already evolved intelligence similar to Yuhui's. They are also living beings, but they just have a different life form from us humans."

"The nightmares in the black hole dimension are also a special kind of creatures, and even the survivors have not died out yet."

"You said this would wipe out all life, but you didn't even look at those lives."

"You've been crazy for a long time. Everything you said was just the fantasy of a madman. You are nothing."

The brainwashed psychic did not respond. Perhaps he himself knew that everything he did was just to satisfy his own crazy ideas.

Or maybe, he really has completely indulged in madness.

As for Chen Ming, although he successfully stopped the brainwashed psychic last time, he couldn't do it this time.

The crack that blocked the overflow of scarlet power has become a shackle for Chen Ming to restrict negative matter.

Let him make a choice.
Either tear the space apart, open a rift to the phase space and push the planet in again.

At the same time, the scarlet was released, and he would need to spend a lot of energy to go to different corners of the normal universe to wipe out all the scattered scarlet.

It is not too far away from the empire now. Once the Scarlet expands and he fails to deal with it in time, the impact will be extremely terrifying.

Or he could just choose to withstand the gravity of the red hole until the brainwashed psychic died.

He left the scarlet-infected space again and tore the space apart again from a wider dimension, dividing a larger independent area to deal with the scarlet infection and the existence of the red hole.

Chen knew clearly what choice he should make.

He chose to continue reinforcing the Crimson Rift that he controlled.

Let the Scarlet Mechanical Heart completely block the outside of the rift.

He will personally face the brainwashed psychic's final stand.
