Chen Ming didn't expect that the glory that he hadn't seen for a while would suddenly appear here.
It had apparently evaded the attack that the XIV Legion had launched towards the system in which he had been staying.
This is not a bad thing for Chen Ming. After all, his relationship with Huihuang is relatively normal and comfortable.
So he didn't vent his accumulated emotions directly on it, but asked seriously: "Glorious, what do you want from me?"
Huihuang was very surprised that Chen Ming could distinguish the different Yuhui individuals behind the same voice, but he did not dwell on it and said truthfully: "I have a new task to communicate with you."
"oh?"
G3, who had had a conflict with Chen Ming just a few hours ago, disappeared, and then Huihuang, who had a good cooperative relationship with him earlier, came.
Chen Ming knew clearly what the mission Huihuang was talking about, but he still asked knowingly, "What mission?"
"appease."
Chen Ming sneered, pointed at the Qiling Nerve Extractor under him that was still running but would probably never run smoothly to the end, and the shackles on his body, and asked, "Are you trying to appease me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the equipment under him automatically stopped running, and all the shackles that handcuffed Chen Ming were removed.
As the psychic fluctuations of the device gradually subsided, Chen Ming suddenly realized at this time that the sense of danger that the Qi Ling Neural Extractor gave him had long since completely disappeared.
It could be that Chen Ming has already taken control of the device, or it could be that the real source of danger is that spiritual awakening nerve.
But now none of this matters anymore. Chen Ming won't let Yu Hui use this device on him a second time.
Chen Ming rubbed his wrist, stood up from the equipment, and asked Huihuang: "You don't think I'm a fool, do you?"
"No, you certainly have reason to suspect that we are just trying to delay time so that we can perform some terrible experiments on you again."
Chen Ming reached out and patted the extraction device next to him and said, "But I think this is not an experiment, but something more dangerous."
"Unless you can tell me what that thing that got into my brain but didn't kill me is, maybe I can change my mind?"
Chen Ming's words made Huihuang silent for a moment.
Obviously, there is no reasonable reason to explain what kind of thing needs to be administered directly through the eye socket to contact the human brain.
And the above arrangement obviously did not allow it to tell the actual situation.
Huihuang was in an extremely difficult situation at this time.
It had previously clearly opposed the proposal to extract Chen Ming's psychic energy.
But its opinions were not adopted, and its superiors even kicked it out in the final stage of the mission.
However, now, after the plan failed, it is needed to come back and help appease Chen Ming.
Even if the unexpected situation was even bigger than planned, he wouldn't have to talk to Chen Ming and could just collect Chen Ming's body.
It understands Yu Hui's group's fear of Chen Ming's ability, and their desire to take control of this ability in their own hands.
But it completely fails to understand how such a decision could be made without considering the risks and consequences in order to achieve the goal.
In the end, it even has to be responsible for cleaning up its mess after being kicked out.
But these glories can only be thought about. All it can actually do now is to utter four words after a long silence.
"terribly sorry."
Chen Ming always felt uncomfortable when he heard Huihuang's apology, as if Huihuang was not the one who should be apologizing.
At this moment, his mind suddenly flashed back to all the strange things that Huihuang had shown deliberately in the past period of time.
After thinking in silence for a while, Chen Ming made up his mind.
He suddenly sighed and said, "Let's start with a lighter topic. To be honest, I have a pretty good impression of you."
"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to have a good conversation with Yu Hui who wanted to kill me."
"But if we continue this topic, you and I might run out of things to talk about."
"good."
Huihuang agreed decisively and asked, "Then where do we start?"
"Let's start from here. Did you take the initiative to accept this task of comforting me?"
Huihuang once again answered decisively: "No."
"Oh? So this is a task forced upon you?"
"Yes."
“It’s really surprising.”
Yu Hui didn't seem to have adequate plans to deal with various possible situations.
So in the end, they chose to let Huihuang, an individual Chen Ming was very familiar with, to carry out the "comfort" operation, which seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at it.
I don’t know what they are thinking. Maybe they just want to delay time through their brilliant existence and Chen Ming?
Just after Chen Ming was silent for half a minute because he was thinking about Yu Hui's idea, Hui Huang suddenly took the initiative to say, "Can I ask you some questions?"
"Okay, but wait until I finish asking your question."
What Chen Ming said seemed very unreasonable.
But now Yu Hui obviously did not have the ability to immediately start the second process of extracting the spiritual nerves.
So they still had ideas about Chen Ming's psychic powers and didn't want to kill Chen Ming right away.
Chen Ming's behavior of testing the bottom line is nothing at all.
However, he did not continue to talk about these things, but brought up an earlier incident: "What were you doing after I left?"
"I told you before that you should continue your previous mission of looking after the galaxy and managing the colonies. The three colonies in the galaxy mainly produce mineral resources, and I need to coordinate their output."
As expected, Huihuang mentioned the mining site again.
Then Chen Ming could actually try asking it some suggestive questions.
If Huihuang really has any special ideas, he should try his best to answer.
But you have to take some detours and provide some cover so that these hints are hidden among the surface problems.
It is best to ask a few general questions first before starting with the formal questions.
So Chen Ming said to Huihuang: "I need to think about a question, you ask one first."
Huihuang was a little surprised by Chen Ming's sudden reluctance. After pausing for a while, it asked Chen Ming, "Are you injured? Do you need medical treatment? We also have medicines for injuries caused by psychic energy."
What Huihuang asked sounded simple, but was actually a test of Chen Ming's condition, trying to find out his physical condition.
Although Chen Ming was still quite coveting the medicine, if he dared to ask Yu Hui for it, he would definitely go straight to the point of taking advantage of the situation and conduct a detailed examination on him to determine the medication policy.
So he answered without thinking, "I'm fine now, I don't need treatment. Okay, it's my turn to ask."
"Glorious, I remember the galaxy you were in was also attacked, are you okay?"
Chen Ming's question would expose the fact that he was still connected to humans.
But since Chen Ming can remotely control the spacecraft, Yu Hui, as long as he is not a fool, can guess that he has the ability of remote communication.
Even if there are some limitations due to the long distance that cannot be precisely controlled, it is always no problem to let the spacecraft gesture a few words in space. Communication is the simplest thing.
It’s just that Chen Ming has been behaving well and it seems that he really wants to join Yu Hui and has no intention of resisting at all.
At least Huihuang had not mentioned the details of Chen Ming's mischief to any of Yu Hui.
This is the image of Chen Ming in Yu Hui's eyes.
Now even if Yu Hui knew that Chen Ming really maintained contact with humans, the impact would basically be gone, and it would even be a good thing for Chen Ming.
Because Yu Hui would never let him go. After the first time, the second extraction of spiritual energy would definitely be more covert and more difficult for Chen Ming to detect.
Maybe one day in his sleep, Chen Ming was tied up and tied to the extraction device again.
As for the humans, since the front has been bombed by Gauss cannons, they will definitely not come back to rescue him.
But this is for Chen Ming.
As long as Chen Ming openly disclosed the fact that he could communicate with humans, and at the same time did not say that humans would not come to rescue him.
Then Yu Hui would have to consider the possibility of humans coming a second time.
Because from Yu Hui's perspective, humans chose to kill Chen Ming only when the situation was dire and they had no choice.
Since Chen Ming is not dead, the humans will either come to rescue him or come to kill him. There is no third possibility.
Although in fact humans don’t actually know that Chen Ming is still alive.
As long as Chen Ming does not take the initiative to spread the news that he is alive, humans will never come again, unless their destination is somewhere else, such as Kletka.
But Yu Hui didn't know this.
Therefore, under the premise that Chen Ming took the initiative to tell them about this situation, they had to allocate part of their strength to guard against the possible reappearance of the human fleet.
This was also a little calculation of Chen Ming. The less power Yu Hui concentrated around him, the greater the possibility of his safe escape later.
Huihuang does not need to consider the issues in Chen Ming's words for Yu Hui as a whole. It only needs to answer Chen Ming's questions.
"I have been staying on that planet to manage the operations within the galaxy, and I have not actually installed it on the spacecraft."
"When the human fleet launched the raid, I immediately called for rescue and installed the ship, preparing for battle."
"But before I could actually take off, our capital ship support arrived."
"The human fleet chose to retreat."
It seems that Huihuang's luck is still very good.
Chen Ming quickly accepted Huihuang's answer, and suddenly asked with some sudden inspiration: "So you are now in my position?"
"No, I'm still in the original galaxy. Due to the heavy losses of our individuals, I need to urgently deploy the production lines of various colonies. At the same time, I also need to clean up the wreckage of the entire battlefield. Now the communication with you is only remote communication."
Chen Ming then asked, "In other words, you are still on the planet where I stayed before, in that industrial colony?"
"Yes."
"I see."
As Chen Ming asked a few questions, the extremely stiff atmosphere between Chen Ming and Yu Hui did ease.
However, Chen Ming also knew that Yu Hui was definitely just trying to delay time, and the specific method of delay was actually not important.
So he acquiesced to Huihuang chatting with Chen Ming about all kinds of things, as long as no important information was exposed.
But Chen Ming also wants to delay time.
Therefore, delaying time is also beneficial to Chen Ming. The direction of things will depend on which of Gamma Z and Yu Hui can prepare faster.
"What are your plans for me from now on? If it's going to be a return to the way things were before, then you don't have to tell me. I won't believe it even if you tell me."
Huihuang fell silent for a moment.
Chen Ming also knew that this question would definitely not be answered, so he took the opportunity to say what he really wanted to say.
"I feel a little uncomfortable here in the experimental area. Let's go talk next door."
"good."
Chen Ming walked out of the experimental area without any hindrance.
I saw that the industrial area diagonally opposite the experimental area was gone, and there were only many robots cleaning up the wreckage of the buildings. It seemed that they were preparing for reconstruction.
If it weren't for the Iron Ore, the entire research institute and Chen Ming himself would be lost now.
Through the original work area, Chen Ming could also see that the dome outside, which was smashed by the Iron Ore and pierced by the Gauss cannon, had been repaired.
Continue to maintain an environment suitable for human survival under the dome.
But Chen Ming is no longer affected by these small favors that seem to be made with great care.
After all, what Yu Hui did was like someone inviting him to breakfast every day, but while eating he found out that this person wanted to stab him in the kidney.
No matter how much you eat for breakfast, it can't compare to kidneys... no, compared to life, it can't compare at all.
Chen Ming took a closer look at the robots in the work area and then returned to the cafeteria in the living area.
Then he suddenly saw a group of robots hurriedly running to the cold storage room behind the cafeteria.
"What's going on?"
Huihuang immediately replied: "Your...pet, it just destroyed the wall of the dining area behind the cafeteria and is currently eating."
"Um……"
Xiaoshi had already found an opportunity to escape when Chen Ming was caught by Yu Hui before.
It is a product of Fan Chao's laboratory. It has strong survival and digging capabilities, and can be put into suspended animation in an emergency.
Let it run around the institute freely without worrying about its safety.
So Chen Ming had never deliberately looked for it before. Anyway, when Chen Ming was about to leave, Xiaoshi would definitely suddenly jump out from some corner.
But now Chen Ming went directly to the storage room behind the cafeteria.
Then he saw a fist-sized hole on the wall of the storage room, which was originally completely sealed and isolated and not open to Chen Ming.
The moment Chen Ming arrived here, the round little stone that had eaten a lot of food came out of the cave in a flash.
While being surrounded by several robots, he jumped onto Chen Ming's shoulder with a dexterity that was totally inconsistent with his body size.
It swallowed the last bite of the fairy leaves emitting psychic energy fluctuations in its mouth, and began to grin at the robots.
However, Xiaoshi's appearance shows that his grin is just for cuteness.
When the robots arrived here, they stopped moving under the control of Huihuang or other afterglow individuals, allowing Chen Ming to take Xiaoshi away.
Chen Ming returned to the front of the cafeteria and picked up a meal.
However, after noticing that the cup of fairy tree tea water was missing from the meal, Chen Ming simply grabbed Xiao Shi, who realized something was wrong and wanted to run away, and pinched him a few times.
But Chen Ming doesn't care too much about it now. After all, the increase in spiritual energy from drinking the fairy tree tea during this period is actually not as much as that from daily exercise. The tea from only a few leaves is just a bonus.
It is completely incomparable to the mental power that increased after Chen Ming assimilated and absorbed the spiritual awakening nerve.
Moreover, because of that spiritual awakening nerve, Chen Ming can now even see the name of the meal in front of him directly through the panel.
So it’s just some tea to top it up, and when it’s gone, it’s gone.
The most important gain he has now is the ability to find out the name of an object simply by touching it, without having to take it onto the spacecraft.
Even if he put it simply, this ability would allow him to never have to worry about eating food that contained something hidden in it for the rest of his life.
Not to mention that Chen Ming was still unclear about how long it would take Yu Hui to prepare the second spiritual awakening nerve. At most, it would take half a month to a month. During this period, Chen Ming would only be able to get more than a hundred pieces of tea.
The number of tea leaves that have allowed Xiao Shi to become his current round shape, with spiritual energy emanating from his entire body, is definitely more than just over a hundred pieces.
After picking up his meal, Chen Ming found a seat in the cafeteria and sat down.
Xiao Shi, who was placed on the table by Chen Ming, suddenly carefully spit out a few pieces of tea leaves from his cheek pouch on the table, pushed them to Chen Ming, and then ate the tea leaves back while Chen Ming looked at him as if he was a fool.
He wouldn't even compete with the hamster for food.
At this time, Chen Ming had no intention of continuing to talk to Huihuang.
Instead, he buried his head in preparing his first meal after being unconscious for several hours.
Because he needs time to think.
At present, Chen Ming has learned from Huihuang's words that Huihuang is still working on the planet where he had stayed before, which means that he can access the mining sites on the entire planet at any time.
This is what it has been hinting at all the time.
But having said so much, Chen Ming would definitely not take the initiative to let those few Yuhui in the mining field come into contact with Brilliance.
Therefore, this matter still depends on whether Huihuang can give Chen Ming an answer that convinces him.
Chen Ming quickly finished his lunch and continued the previous topic by asking Huihuang, "So how are you going to make me believe you? You don't really want to rely on you to convince me, do you?
Chen Ming's question already began to conceal some of the meanings he wanted to express secretly.
Since Huihuang has hinted so much before, how can it make Chen Ming believe that its hints really mean that it wants to have some special communication with Chen Ming, and is not just fishing?
Huihuang thought about it for a moment and answered seriously: "Yes, because now it seems that my method of communication is the best."
"You and I are discussing various issues, but if it was G3, he would have been scolded by you...right now?"
"And if I can't convince you, then it will be even more impossible for other individuals."
"So after considering everything, I'm most likely to find a way to convince you."
“But it’s unclear how long it will take.”
Huihuang's answer clearly showed that he had heard the hidden meaning in Chen Ming's words.
The meaning of what it said was also very clear, and it could give Chen Ming a reason, but it would take some time.
Then Chen Ming naturally took over the conversation and said, "There must be an estimated time. There should also be a deadline when this task is assigned to you."
"Can you promise to convince me within the deadline? Or do you just want to talk to me beyond this deadline?"
Huihuang immediately responded: "The task was assigned to me directly. I cannot guarantee that I will complete it within the deadline, but I will try my best every moment."
Huihuang's meaning was a little unclear, so Chen Ming simply answered Huihuang's question and asked, "Just like you have been doing your best to manage the colony and build the mining site on the planet?"
"Yes, but that's not all."
"Oh? Then I can't chat with you here 24 hours a day, how can you try to complete the task every moment?"
Huihuang did not answer Chen Ming's question, but Chen Ming already knew Huihuang's plan.
"Okay, I'm done asking questions, you can ask any questions you have."
"good."
Huihuang began to ask Chen Ming various questions in a very organized manner.
There were some irrelevant questions that Huihuang asked himself, and there were also some questions that Yu Hui knew he wanted to ask.
Chen Ming naturally strictly controlled his answers and would never say anything that should not be said.
After a few hours and a few questions, the tension in Chen Ming's words gradually disappeared.
As to whether it was because of his glory or Chen Ming took the initiative to restrain himself, only Chen Ming himself knew.
"Then let's leave it at that for today."
After Chen Ming asked Huihuang several irrelevant questions in succession, he knew that Yu Hui had discovered that they could not get any useful information from him.
Asking questions now is just wasting time.
Huihuang did not refuse Chen Ming's request.
After saying hello, he disappeared.
Chen Ming didn't care, but relied on the new functions added after his psychic power was enhanced, and looked at the spiritual nerve extractor in several rooms.
From the beginning until now, there has been no movement from the extractor, and Yu Hui has not come to check and maintain it.
It seems that the equipment itself is not important, what is important is the spiritual nerve itself.
So Chen Ming just glanced at it twice and then shifted his attention away without studying it now.
He turned his attention instead to the three afterglows at the mining site on the planet where he had once been.
Chen Ming waited for about half an hour.
A small transport spacecraft was seen appearing above the mining site.
Chen Ming still didn't move, just waited quietly.
The transport spacecraft landed at the warehouse behind the mining site, opened the armor outside the storage compartment, and began to transfer the ore piled up in the mining site to the ship quickly through the equipment.
Everything looks normal.
But suddenly, all the lighting equipment in the mine flashed a few times.
Then, Chen Ming saw the scene he wanted to see.
This small transport spaceship flew to a location specifically for spaceships that replace the core of the mining site, and connected the transport spaceship directly to the control network of the mining site.
The spacecraft is not equipped with an ordinary gamma-class core.
But it was the glory that he had just spoken to Chen Ming.
In order to ensure that Chen Ming believed it, it connected itself to the mining site where Yu Hui had worked before Chen Ming was relieved.
Then he was controlled by Chen Ming.
Chen Ming directly asked Huihuang through his consciousness: "Does this count as surrendering?"
