The moment Chen Ming saw this scene, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, but he immediately suppressed this emotion.

He immediately created a thin layer of nearly transparent metallic liquid as a protective film on himself and the people around him.

The blood mist and debris spurted out by the corpse only covered the back half of the shuttle.

But this horrifying scene was indeed seen by everyone, especially the shuttle boat pilot in front of the spacecraft, who had never seen such a scene before and exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Ming no longer cared about what was going on at this time. In order to prevent someone on the shuttle from having problems or doing anything irrational, he stood up from his position and directly took over the shuttle with his psychic power, cutting off all external communications.

He controlled everyone except Bai Quan and He Gu and made them stay in their positions.

After taking control of the situation, Chen Ming once again experienced the feeling in his heart, that fear.

Although the feeling was relatively clear except for the moment when the flesh and blood exploded, now, as long as Chen Ming wanted, he could still sense the fear from the unknown from the entire environment.

The source of this fear was so familiar that it made a few drops of sweat appear on his forehead.

Fortunately, Chen Ming did not sense any danger, at least now he could calm down quickly.

He Gu stood up as Chen Ming stood up, and some spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from his body.

He pushed open Chen Ming's protective barrier and stepped into the area at the back of the shuttle that was covered in shattered flesh and blood.

He Gu walked to the seat where Lou Wei had exploded, half-crouched on the ground and observed.

His entire body was protected by a layer of mental shield, so he had no direct contact with the surrounding flesh and blood.

After watching for a while, he suddenly turned around and said to the people behind him: "He exploded directly from the inside out. There must be a bomb in his body, otherwise there would not be such an effect."

"But I don't see any traces of explosives from the residue here."

"Not a bomb?"

Bai Quan asked this question while standing in front of the metal liquid membrane that isolated Chen Ming.

He did not rashly pass through the metal membrane. After all, he did not have the shield made of mental power like He Gu to protect him. Who knew whether Lou Wei's sudden and inexplicable explosion was some kind of situation with subsequent dangers.

And he couldn't get through.

Before He Gu could answer, Chen Ming suddenly interrupted and said, "I can confirm that it is definitely not a bomb. There is no explosive residue on the entire shuttle, only fragments of his human tissue."

He Gu nodded to Chen Ming, then lowered his head and looked at Lou Wei's chair.

By the way, he took out a pair of disposable gloves from the pocket of his white coat, put them on, and began to fiddle with the minced meat on the ground.

"There is no residual psychic fluctuation, nothing like that, and I can't tell the source of the energy that just exploded."

As He Gu spoke, he raised his head and looked at the walls and ceiling next to him, analyzing the trajectory of the blood and flesh spraying.

"But the power of this explosion is not small. What on earth did Zuo Jing use to achieve such a degree?"

Bai Quan asked, "Are you sure it's the Zuo Path? Is it just because of believing in the Zuo Path that this effect occurs?"

"I can't be 100% sure, but judging from his behavior before his death, it is definitely related to Zuo Jing."

"etc."

Although Major General Song was tied to a chair by Chen Ming and could not move his body, he could still move his mouth.

He interrupted the conversation and asked, "Didn't you say there was no psychic fluctuation on him? Does that mean it wasn't done by a psychic? If it wasn't a psychic from Zuojing, then what else could it be?"

Chen Ming had adjusted his mood by now, and there was no sign of him being affected by the scene just now.

He explained: "That's not the case. In fact, I don't have any psychic fluctuations in my body right now, but that doesn't mean I'm not a psychic. And the things that my psychic powers act on are also the same as my current state, without any psychic fluctuations."

"The fact that there is no psychic fluctuation on Lou Wei's body now only means that there is no psychic fluctuation left here, but it does not mean that this was not done by a psychic."

"There must be someone or something with special psychic powers on the left side."

When Chen Ming said this, a figure with exposed flesh and blood and a deformed, twisted heart flashed through his mind.

"But I just wonder, is he passive or active?"

"Was he passively blown up by Zuo Jing, or was he the one who blew it up on his own initiative?"

Major General Song then asked: "What's the difference?"

"The difference is that the former may be a coercive measure taken by Zuo Jing, while the latter may be that he took the initiative to believe in Zuo Jing and cooperated with Zuo Jing to complete the self-destruction of his body."

Chen Ming looked at Major General Song and asked, "Has Lou Wei been in contact with Zuo Jing recently?"

Major General Song immediately said, "If I must say, yes, because you and Lieutenant General Bai were assassinated, it was inevitable that we would come into contact with Zuo Jing when the higher-ups came to investigate. Several of us have come into contact with him before."

Chen Ming nodded and said, "Then I prefer the latter."

"Because if it's the former, the supervisory department shouldn't be unable to find clues during the investigation, and he shouldn't be the only one to be blown up today."

"Also, he happened to be talking about Zuo Jing's teachings before the explosion. Did you hear the tone and feeling when he was talking about the teachings?"

“When was he preached?”

Major General Song guessed, "It should be after the investigation team came down, right? At that time, for reasons you all know, his condition was very bad, especially his mental state. I feel that it was at this time that he was taught by Zuo Jing."

"Some people who believe in religion do so because they can't see any hope for themselves, and they turn to religion to seek psychological comfort. Lou Wei may be the same."

"And he is the only one who really offended you, but most of the rest of us were just affected, so our mentality must be better than Lou Wei's. He should be the one who is most likely to be targeted."

“It’s possible.”

After Chen Ming said it was possible, He Gu suddenly said, "In fact, there is no way to rule out the former, because Zuo Jing may have the ability to brainwash by force."

"We have always had this suspicion, because there is no way to completely eliminate Zuo Jing. No matter how cruelly we use to deal with Zuo Jing, Zuo Jing will emerge like mushrooms after rain. It is very likely that they have psychic powers that can carry out missionary brainwashing activities."

Bai Quan agreed with He Gu's point of view and said, "If it was before, I would deny it, but since Zuo Jing sent psychics to assassinate us, I won't say that anymore. There is no way to confirm how many psychics Zuo Jing has after so many years of development."

"Then why don't they brainwash everyone?"

In response to Chen Ming's question, He Gu speculated, "This kind of psychic power should have limits. Otherwise, if it were to rely solely on this brainwashing ability to secretly brainwash all the lower-class people, the empire would have long been ruled by Zuo Jing."

"I feel like what Major General Song just said, the limiting condition of this kind of spiritual power is a person's psychological condition. People with fragile psychology and weak hearts are easy to be proselytized."

"It's even possible that this psychic energy has always been around us. It will only wander around those with weak hearts and infect them when they are most vulnerable."

"This can indeed explain some things and is a reasonable guess."

Chen Ming also partially agreed with He Gu's point of view, but he still had a question: "Did you think there were no psychics in Zuo Jing before?"

"Because every psychic is at least a person with a strong will and the ability to think independently. Under the circumstances where the Empire has completely banned the Left Path, people with brains generally won't join the Left Path."

"You can see the Empire's attitude towards Zuo Jing. If you get involved in it a little too deeply, you'll basically be finished with this life. You can prepare for a good rebirth in the next life."

"And compared to the treatment of psychics throughout our empire, the resources that Zuojing can provide for psychics are too few."

"As long as psychics don't commit crimes in the empire, they won't be forced to do anything. If they want to have a stable government job, it's definitely fine for them to be psychics."

"But if you join Zuo Jing, you will definitely be hunted down by the Empire, which means you will be subject to stricter control by the Empire in disguise."

"Zuo Jing can't have more stuff on hand than without the Empire. The psykers who join will be hunted down by the Empire more vigorously in disguise, which is totally useless."

"There has indeed never been a record of a left-path psychic, so we have always believed this, but now we have to question this situation."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Ming suddenly thought of what happened a while ago and said, "Do you know Yan Xiong and Hu Yi? Aren't they considered psychics of Zuo Jing?"

"I know them. One died, and the other disappeared for a while afterwards. He caused a big mess."

"But they have been carrying out activities openly in the Empire before, which can be regarded as stepping on the gray area of ​​​​the Empire's laws, relying on the privileges of their own psykers to do things similar to mercenary activities."

"Being hired by someone is completely different from directly joining Zuo Jing. Moreover, they have two lieutenant generals in the war zone to support them. They are the ones who have direct contact with Zuo Jing."

"So if Hu Yi continues to disappear, this matter will end up with nothing. As long as Hu Yi doesn't show any signs of having an affair with Zuo Jing, he will still be a psychic like this."

"But he suddenly appeared in our army's branch and tried to assassinate you. He has been listed as a suspected member of Zuo Jing, but it has not been completely confirmed yet."

"As for Yan Xiong, if he hadn't been killed by you, it wouldn't have been a big deal. At least the Empire would have arrested him, educated him for a while, and then released him."

"Because he never made a truly serious mistake before his death. At least his butt was not crooked, and he was still sitting on the chair of the Empire. Moreover, it can be said that he was deceived by the lieutenant generals of the two theaters."

"Like you did in the two colonies out there."

"Think about how many illegal things you have done, and how they have affected civilians on a large scale. Even if there are many criminals, there are also many ordinary people."

"Do you see anyone dare to say anything to you? No one. This is the privilege of a psychic, so you don't have to say anything. You will get the same treatment."

"The hatred between psychics belongs to psychics. No one will care as long as it does not affect the civilians of the empire."

"The privilege of psykers is that as long as they don't make fundamental mistakes, there is a chance they will be released even if they are caught. The most they will get is a lower treatment from the Empire in the future."

Chen Ming thought about what He Gu said and said, "Then it shouldn't be surprising that Zuo Jing has such a psychic, right? Zuo Jing's power is actually quite large, and there are psychics everywhere in the empire."

"If there are really only a few psykers in Zuojing, then the resources these psykers can get may really be more than some of the lower-level psykers who choose to join the empire."

"And if some psychics make big mistakes and cannot be saved, joining a force like Zuo Jing that the Empire has never been able to eradicate is also a reason, right?"

He Gu certainly knew that this situation might exist: "So the main reason why we didn't think there were psychics in Zuo Jing was that they really never revealed that they had psychics."

“Only recently have they just bared their fangs.”

Major General Song, who was standing next to him, was almost dizzy from listening to the story of the psychic. He asked, "How did they do it? With so many guesses, which one is correct?"

He Gu was not sure at this time, and said: "Lou Wei just exploded like this, and we can only analyze this result from the body now."

"For a more detailed investigation, we need professionals to do it. I am not the psychic responsible for this aspect, and neither is Chen Ming."

He Gu mentioned Chen Ming, but Chen Ming was silent at this moment and didn't know what to say.

Because the previous speculations seem to have some explanations, but some are not easy to explain.

Moreover, in Chen Ming's mind, Lou Wei's sudden explosion into flesh and blood reminded him of the past.

That familiar feeling that made him feel fearful lingered in Chen Ming's heart and could not be shaken off. He was too familiar with this feeling.

So he had to look at the two things together.

Just when Chen Ming kept silent.

Bai Quan suddenly took the initiative to conclude: "No matter how Zuo Jing did it, this matter must not be spread directly, otherwise I think there will be big problems."

"Let's pass the news back to the top management first and see what they say."

"Lou Wei was at least a major general before. Zuo Jing's chronic illness over the years has reached the point where it can threaten the imperial major general. We must find a way to get rid of them."

"Otherwise, the empire's major moves in the future may be disrupted."

"And Lou Wei's death in this place and at this time should clearly indicate who he is targeting."

"Could this be Zuo Jing's revenge? Revenge for Lou Wei giving away the colony?"

"Who knows what the madman in Zuojing is thinking."

Major General Song, who was being restrained by Chen Ming, suddenly winked at Bai Quan.

When Bai Quan came to him, he whispered to Bai Quan: "Even if Lou Wei is dead, I can still find a way to pay the compensation he should have paid. As for the matter in the light industrial colony, our faction is finished now, but I can take this opportunity to help Instructor Chen get what he deserves."

Bai Quan nodded slightly. He was not surprised that Major General Song was willing to do such a thing.

Just when Bai Quan was talking to Major General Song.

Chen Ming suddenly came up to He Gu and asked, "Researcher He, do you know about dimensional infection?"

He Gu's expression changed a little, and he said, "I know, and I know you are the person involved. The Empire is also experiencing the sequelae of the dimensional infection."

"More specific?"

"That's not so clear. I haven't experienced it myself."

Chen Ming considered the wording, but still did not directly explain to He Gu his keen perception and what he perceived from the scene of Lou Wei's death. He just explained: "Dimensional infection, just from the naked eye, it is a situation of blood and flesh flying everywhere."

He Gu glanced at the blood and flesh all over the shuttle next to him and said, "This difference should be a bit big, right?"

"I know, but it's very similar. And some time ago, Zuo Jing happened to be spreading a message that the sequelae of the dimensional infection, that is, the frequent emergence of a large number of deformed babies in the empire, was caused by the empire's disrespect for the gods and its wanton development of technology."

“They connected this matter to the God they believed in.”

"I used to think they were just taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble, but now, I really can't say if there is any connection between them."

"Of course I'm just guessing, this is just the worst-case scenario."

"I really don't want this to happen, but I can't be 100% sure of it."

"As for me, I always like to use the worst possible outcome as the most likely scenario, and then work backwards based on this outcome to plan how I do things."

"So I was wondering if Zuo Jing really had mastered some of the means to connect with the existence of dimensional infection."

"The lower-level elements of Zuojing are extremely averse to technology, but judging from Zuojing's usual behavior, they will use technology and don't mind using it."

"Could it be that they have secretly conducted some cloning experiments and successfully created dimensional infection? But the dimensional infection was suppressed that time?"

"I specifically asked someone before about the specific situation of the sequelae of dimensional infection. The sequelae of the last dimensional infection only began to break out about half a year after the infection and lasted for about twenty years."

"This time, the deformed children appeared much earlier. It can be said that it was not long after I finished this matter, but the deformed children appeared everywhere."

"It takes time for the infection from another dimension to affect our world. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to rely on unconscious clones to create large-scale flesh and blood biological tissues."

"Besides, I encountered the dimensional infection on Zuojing's territory. Even if it started from Zuojing and spread outward, it shouldn't be that fast."

"Moreover, the various star regions and star regions where the news of deformed children appeared did not gradually spread from the Galo star region, but broke out directly within the empire."

"So I was wondering, is it possible that the sequelae of this dimensional infection were not caused by me? But by Zuo Jing?"

"If it was just a simple explosion of flesh and blood, then I wouldn't actually combine these two things."

"But I had suspected this before, and without sufficient sample evidence, I have reason to suspect that this dimensional infection was caused by Zuo Jing."

After listening to Chen Ming's story, He Gu's brain was thinking rapidly.

He could tell that what Chen Ming said was very logical, but there were some news about the dimensional infection that he didn't quite understand, so he had to investigate it in detail later.

He did not suspect that Chen Ming was lying. After all, Chen Ming was a member of the Psychic Society. As the largest psychic organization besides the Psychic Research Institutes and the Fanchao Research Institute of various departments of the empire, the Psychic Society has always been very powerful.

In particular, the president of the Psychic Society had personally experienced a dimensional infection.

So what Chen Ming said was quite convincing to him.

However, no matter how convincing it is, Chen Ming does not have any substantial evidence now. Although He Gu believes it in his heart, he still has to wait.

He Gu said to Chen Ming: "To be honest, your conjecture is a bit too crazy. It's hard for me to accept it directly."

"I know."

Chen Ming said: "So this is just my guess, I can't be sure, but one thing is certain, Zuo Jing must die."

Chen Ming didn't say much. After he finished speaking, he returned to the front of the shuttle that was separated by the metal film.

But there was actually another thing he hadn't said just now.

The president and he had been marked by an existence from another dimension during two dimensional infections.

If his most horrific guess came true, there would most likely be another one, or even if a few more survived...

This is not necessarily the case. After all, the people who survived a dimensional infection have the same time span and may not be used for different positioning between the two dimensions, but can only be counted as one person.

But this also means that there may be three people in the Empire who have been marked by another dimension.

The president said that as long as four such people get together, the position of the empire can be completely determined.

Three is only one step away from four.

If Zuo Jing causes dimensional infection again and creates a fourth one, or even directly brings out all those who have experienced dimensional infection except Chen Ming and the president, then it will be a big problem.

However, Chen Ming felt that he could not tell He Gu about this matter. He Gu did not understand dimensional infection. He had to discuss this matter with his boss and the president.

Chen Ming sat back in his seat and removed the restrictions of the metal liquid for the other people on the shuttle.

He then drove the shuttle directly onto the Stardust-class flight deck.

Let everyone stay on Stardust for now.

The matter of Lou Wei's death because of Zuo Jing was too serious. At least until the result of this matter came out, no one present could leave.

On the spaceship, Chen Ming no longer restricted their freedom, and everyone could move around on the spaceship.

After all, everything inside the spaceship is under Chen Ming's control.

Chen Ming also quickly gave Bai Quan and He Gu permission to communicate with the outside world on the spacecraft.

Just wait for Bai Quan and He Gu to notify the news back to those who have the authority to know the news, so that they can ask the questions they need to ask and do the things they need to do.

Then decide how to deal with the Lou Wei matter.
