Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 975 - 281: Hu Yi Arrives_2

In his view, this transaction was more of an attempt to open up An Wuping’s heart, gradually getting him to accept further cooperation with their Zuo Jing.

This gentle approach is just a way to connect with An Wuping; other more vicious methods will also be applied in the future.

Now, ask whatever you want; whether or not he answers is another matter entirely.

Both knew what was on the other’s mind.

So Chen Ming considered for a while and eventually asked a somewhat broad question: "What is the purpose of the Zuo Jing organization? What exactly are you trying to achieve? Even a cult needs to build a basic foundation, right? But I only see destruction, not construction."

"Of course there’s construction, constructing the minds of the followers."

As expected, such questions can only get such answers.

Although this might be true, attempting to analyze anything deeper from this sentence is a fool’s dream.

Chen Ming completely lost patience and directly said to Thousand Faces: "My spiritual energy mutation direction is Thorn Insect Race and Aurora Wind Spirit."

After saying that, he casually picked up a Glass Bead from the table.

"That’s it, there’s really nothing worth discussing between us, not the slightest interest. Call me when we get there."

"Alright."

Thousand Faces watched An Wuping leave the captain’s room with a smile and head towards his room.

He wasn’t angry at all and silently tidied up all the Glass Beads.

For him, it was enough to figure out what happened in the Space Station’s laboratory using only three Heart-Gathering Spirit Pearls and actually answering only two ambiguous questions, while also understanding An Wuping’s spiritual energy effect.

He even instructed An Wuping, who had just walked out: "Remember not to crush multiple Glass Beads at once, otherwise you should become the same monster you dealt with in the lab."

An Wuping obviously heard this, but he didn’t want to continue talking to Thousand Faces and turned the corner of the spaceship with his head down.

After confirming An Wuping had thoroughly departed.

Thousand Faces locked the captain’s room door, took out his terminal, and contacted the person he had previously communicated with.

"Haven’t been in touch for a few days, how’s the situation on your side?"

The terminal emitted a voice familiar to Thousand Faces: "Not good, still hiding with people."

"The Spiritual Ability Association seems desperate; they’ve gotten Chen Ming to help. Several places we’ve been to have been surrounded by Chen Ming’s Dusk Spaceships."

"Once, if we hadn’t run quickly, we might have been caught by Chen Ming."

Upon hearing Chen Ming’s name, Thousand Faces’ expression became somewhat unpleasant; obviously, this name had long been a source of annoyance: "Chen Ming, that guy? Definitely troublesome."

"Because of his influence, our development speed in the Galor Star Realm has noticeably slowed. Many who know of him simply refuse to believe our teachings."

"Sigh."

Thousand Faces suddenly sighed: "Last time was my fault; I underestimated Chen Ming’s ability and the Psychic from the Fourteenth Legion, who discovered me sooner than anticipated. Otherwise, there might have been a chance."

"Forget about past matters, focus on now. I can’t continue hiding much longer on this end."

"His condition has begun worsening, soon reaching the final stage. In the final stage, he won’t move easily; it’s about time to find a place and prepare for the last phase."

"If we endure this, even if entirely hunted by the Empire, we’ll still have a place."

Thousand Faces’ expression finally showed some relief: "What about the final chosen location?"

Just as he spoke.

At this time, using his spiritual energy to stealthily observe the captain’s room, Chen Ming only saw a cloud of Black Mist suddenly erupt around Thousand Faces, completely enveloping him and the terminal in his hand, preventing any possible spying.

Even on the spaceship, even after days without contact, in such crucial matters, Thousand Faces remained extremely vigilant.

Chen Ming clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

Temporarily gave up observing Thousand Faces in the Black Mist.

While within the Black Mist.

The terminal in Thousand Faces’ hand conveyed: "Lucy Star System of Cai Mo-6, we’ve been there once before, Chen Ming’s Dusk Fleet has also been there once, should be in complete darkness."

"Just right, there’s an Industrial Colony with an Earth Core Melting Furnace Power Tower there. I can have him help hypnotize the locals, perform regular maintenance for the Furnace Tower."

"Using the supply tower maintenance time to hide underground; in the upcoming period, underground should be safer than aboveground."

Thousand Faces nodded: "I understand, I’ll coordinate then."

"Good."

The person on the other end of the terminal responded, then after a brief silence suddenly said: "With such a big commotion now, who knows how it’ll end."

"Don’t worry," Thousand Faces said, "we’ll win."

"Hopefully, that’s the case. I’ve been about it, how’s your situation over there?"

Thousand Faces summed up An Wuping’s recent situation mentally and said: "An Wuping’s attitude remains similar to before, showing little intent to resist and not indicating any desire for continued cooperation with us either."

"Still, he might want to do something, can’t have too much expectation for him, need to ensure he completely loses confidence in the Empire first."

"To maintain stability, I haven’t provoked his rage disorder the past few days either."

"If we want to slowly break down his psychological defenses, it’s impossible without time; before truly beginning, just treat him like an ordinary Psychic."
