Chen Ming was very hesitant.

Because he had indeed thought about this matter seriously.

Chen Ming could consider most of the various issues arising from this incident, as long as Bai Quan and others could consider them.

Of course he knew that this matter would be of great benefit to many people, including himself.

And Cheng Xinghai’s conditions are indeed quite suitable.

But the problem is also obvious.

He doesn't have the time or energy to do things that are far from his goal, so agreeing to do something casually will only waste his time.

This is a lifelong matter, so he hesitated.

That's why Bai Quan had deliberately mentioned before that he would be away for a few days and asked Cheng Xinghai to come over to help substitute for the class, and his words were hinting at this in both explicit and implicit ways.

Chen Ming still did not give Bai Quan a clear attitude, but just agreed to continue contacting Cheng Xinghai.

Even if we don't look at it from an emotional perspective, but only from a profit perspective, this kind of thing is indeed worth him spending some of his energy on.

Of course, if you really only consider the benefits, that won’t work.

If Cheng Xinghai is unwilling and inappropriate, but they are tied together purely for the sake of interests.

It's not a good thing for either of them.

Anyway, he had already seen Bai Quan's attitude very clearly, but he still wanted to figure out Cheng Xinghai's attitude and whether they were suitable for each other.

Chen Ming stared at the terminal and thought for more than ten seconds.

After thinking about the general situation clearly, I answered the phone.

Cheng Xinghai waved and said hello: "Hello, hello, Chen Ming."

While Chen Ming controlled An Wuping to tear off the neck of a leftist, he used a prosthesis to pretend that everything was normal and greeted Cheng Xinghai: "Hello."

Cheng Xinghai suddenly tilted his head: "Why do I feel like you are a little absent-minded."

"Don't you even check what time it is?"

"Oh yeah, what time is it now? Aren't you going to sleep?"

Chen Ming also recorded the workbench next to the prosthesis. The computer on it displayed several pages of densely packed and complex data: "I am preparing for the next step of research. A catalytic core should be delivered to me in a few days."

"And you are the one, what do you want to do by calling at this hour?"

"Um……"

Cheng Xinghai seemed a little hesitant, tilted his head and asked, "Did Uncle Bai tell you?"

"He said you'll come help me with the lessons later."

"Well, that's it. That's what I came here to talk to you about."

Cheng Xinghai's tone of voice was a little unconfident, so Chen Ming naturally didn't believe it.

Cheng Xinghai called him late at night, and he must have wanted to talk to him about something else at first.

But Cheng Xinghai was also hesitant like him.

Chen Ming did not point this out, but instead, like Cheng Xinghai, tacitly avoided the topic.

The two looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

Cheng Xinghai suddenly broke the silence: "Then I'll go prepare the lesson plan. The lesson plan Uncle Bai gave me is not the same as what I want. I'll prepare one myself, which may take a few days."

"Thank you for your help."

"No trouble, I'm hanging up now."

"Goodbye, thank you."

"Um."

After the communication ends.

Cheng Xinghai threw the terminal to the side of the bed and leaned back to lie on it.

She stretched out her arms to block her eyes, her mind full of chaotic thoughts.

She did hesitate.

She had been in contact with Chen Ming for some time recently.

After a deep simulation of more than half a month, when the captive played games every day, he basically got to know Chen Ming well.

Because Chen Ming was doing this for Bai Quan's sake, he would usually answer all her questions.

Through these days of contact and understanding, she felt that she had no ill feelings towards Chen Ming, but she did not have much affection for him beyond normal friendship.

Maybe a little, but only a little, and it's not to the point where the relationship can go any further.

But just before she made the call, she thought that this was enough.

She doesn't have many options for her future. Either she will live out her life alone or find someone to marry.

Other marriage partners may not even have this feeling.

So her original idea was to just confront Chen Ming directly.

But just a short moment before the call was connected, she thought of something else.

What if Chen Ming didn't have such an idea? What if Chen Ming had a completely different idea?

Cheng Xinghai remembered that in the simulation, she had never seen Chen Ming have any particularly obvious fluctuations in emotions. Everything seemed to be nothing in Chen Ming's eyes, even for her.

Only when the simulated battle was nearing its end, when all his teammates had died and were at a complete disadvantage, did Chen Ming seem to feel a little bit of fun.

No, Cheng Xinghai suddenly remembered that when the simulation just started and Chen Ming found an opportunity to assassinate her, Chen Ming's emotions seemed to have fluctuated violently once.

When Cheng Xinghai thought about how Chen Ming, who usually had a calm expression as if nothing could affect him, shouted out a lot of swear words because of the explosive force of her kick that almost killed him, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up for some reason.

But she was still hesitating and struggling.

I still plan to wait until tomorrow to find Uncle Bai who has almost finished his work, and then ask him more about Chen Ming and his attitude.

At this moment, Chen Ming's mind was a little confused for a while after hanging up the phone.

However, the situation on An Wuping's side did not give him much time to think.

Right now.

On the Zuojing space station.

A thick black fog suddenly burst out from behind him, completely covering him.

This is certainly not the Black Mist psychic that has been captured by Chen Ming, but the effect achieved by borrowing the Heart-Gathering Spirit Bead (Black Mist) of the glass bead psychic that Chen Ming had seen once.

The psychic that Zuo Jing had been looking forward to finally arrived after Chen Ming had slaughtered half of the Zuo Jing Space Station.

After Chen Ming was shrouded in black fog.

Outside the black fog, a psychic who was dressed no differently from an ordinary person suddenly appeared here along with the black fog.

He casually threw away the broken black glass bead, stretched out his thumbs and index fingers, and made a tilted camera gesture.

Psychic energy waves gathered on his body, and a tiny ball of light flickering with tiny dots of light emerged from the center of his gesture.

When the size of the light ball instantly expanded to the size of an eyeball, it suddenly emitted a long and flashing beam of light, heading straight towards Chen Ming in the black fog.

Although Chen Ming's perception was blocked by the black fog at this moment, he did sense the beam of light.

However, he sensed no danger from the beam of light and did not make any evasive move.

This beam of light had no substance and passed straight through the black fog without being blocked by it.

Moreover, this beam of light had no lethality. It exploded directly after hitting Chen Ming's body. Some remaining spots of light were suddenly absorbed by his body for some reason.

However, as these light spots entered his body, Chen Ming not only did not feel that he was hurt, but he felt that his mental strength was more invigorated by the stimulation of this beam of light.

"?"

This beam...

Chen Ming frowned slightly and took a step forward.

Hearing the sound of Chen Ming moving in the black fog, the psychic who had just arrived became serious and quickly retreated. At the same time, the diameter of the light beam emitted by the light ball in front of him doubled.

However, immediately afterwards, he heard the sound of Chen Ming taking another step forward.

His eyes widened slightly, as if he was a little bit unbelievable.

But after confirming that he had not heard wrongly, he gritted his teeth again, changed the posture of his hands, and directly held the ball of light in his palm, and threw it towards Chen Ming.

After the light ball hit Chen Ming's body and did not cause any harm to Chen Ming.

Chen Ming finally understood the psychic effects of this psychic.

This ball of light is not real light, and the psychic power of this psychic is not the beam of light it appears to be.

This ball of light and beam of light is actually a manifestation of the essence of his psychic energy fluctuations.

His psychic power is a pure mental ability.

It is not Hu Yi's ability to control entropy and external objects, nor is it the Queen of Insects' ability to amplify herself.

It was not the ability that Chen Ming had heard from Bai Quan that could directly transform mental power into fire or water through psychic energy.

His abilities have nothing to do with the outside world and are not interfered with by any other factors.

It is to purely release mental power through psychic energy in a powerful way. The light balls and light beams are just the embodiment of highly concentrated mental power.

The full name of psychic is someone with psychic abilities.

As for this psychic, Chen Ming felt that he could simply be called a mentalist.

Although the concept of psychic was conceived by Chen Ming, even he felt it was a bit abstract.

So it mainly depends on the effect of psychic power.

The effect of this pure psychic's mental beam is that after hitting a target, it actively allows the person hit to absorb the light spot that materializes his mental power.

These light spots will contain part of his consciousness and can directly hit the brain of the person hit, interfering at the psychic level.

The importance of the brain to a psychic is self-evident. Doing this will definitely affect a psychic's normal use of psychic powers.

Those with slightly weaker mental strength might even die directly because of the existence of this light spot.

Luckily he didn't die, but the damage to his brain was almost enough to make him disabled.

However, Chen Ming's current An Wuping's brain is purely a decoration.

He transferred his consciousness to An Wuping through psychic power, and did not need a brain carrier like ordinary Zerg to control the Zerg body.

His consciousness exists in every corner of An Wuping's body. Every movement of An Wuping is an instruction he gives directly to the body's tissues and organs with his consciousness, without even requiring nerve conduction.

No brain work required at all.

The only purpose of An Wuping's brain is to maintain the instinctive activities of various organs in this body.

The psychic power of this psychic can interfere with the brain and consciousness from the psychic level, rather than directly interfering with the body. Otherwise, this light spot would definitely not be able to directly penetrate the shell on Chen Ming's body.

Since it cannot affect the brain's ability to continue to maintain its physiological functions, it also cannot affect Chen Ming, whose consciousness is not in the brain at all.

Although this ability is very brutal, it is meaningless to Chen Ming, who relies on the prosthesis.

By the way, could this psychic be the one that Zuo Jing is responsible for brainwashing?

This thought suddenly flashed through Chen Ming's mind, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not possible.

The psychic power of the psychic responsible for brainwashing should be milder and more deceptive. He should be a charlatan, not the current person.

However, Chen Ming found this psychic very interesting.

After all, this was the first psychic he had seen whose psychic powers relied purely on his own mental strength and psychic abilities.

After Chen Ming had this idea.

A three-meter-tall human-shaped gap suddenly appeared in the black fog that seemed to have trapped him.

At that moment when the psychic's brain barely reacted, but his body was completely unable to respond.

Chen Ming had already rushed out of the black fog and stopped in front of him. He grabbed his neck with one hand and picked up the psychic like a chicken.

Use your fingers to apply slight pressure to compress the carotid artery, thus blocking blood flow to the brain.

The psychic went into shock instantly.

As soon as Chen Ming let go, he fell directly to the ground and collapsed into a ball.

Dragged by Chen Ming, he found a spaceship that had not yet left the space station, stuffed it into the cryogenic hibernation chamber, and would come back to take it away.

This was the third psychic he had captured.

Chen Ming felt that he had to go back and ask Bai Quan if he could directly apply for an artificial spiritual awakening nerve for the experiment, instead of spending his contribution points to exchange for a spiritual awakening nerve.

The arrival of the psychic was just a minor incident.

After all, it was only two minutes from the time he appeared to the time he was knocked unconscious by Chen Ming.

Before Chen Ming even had time to form any impression of his face, he once again plunged into the hunt for the left-wing elements on the space station.

In addition to giving An Wuping extremely strong physical fitness, the Queen Insect's technology also gave him terrifying perception abilities.

Sense heat sources, sense heartbeats, and many things that human senses cannot perceive.

Therefore, Chen Ming could easily find the completely collapsed Zuo Jing hiding in every corner of the space station.

Of course, Chen Ming didn’t kill everyone, because there were indeed some ordinary people inside the space station.

Although the number was small, Chen Ming had already slaughtered half of the space station and there were only three in total.

But Chen Ming did save their lives.

Even though the three of them chose to pick up weapons from the corpses of the left-wing elements to resist out of fear, Chen Ming still did not kill them, but only disarmed them.

He can directly extract the real list of Zuo Jing personnel through the space station's database.

There is no need to worry about not being able to tell who has problems and who doesn't.

Chen Ming would not kill anyone by mistake, nor would he miss anyone.

Of course, even with the list, Chen Ming was not 100% sure that those three people were good people.

So just now he used some local materials, took some steel from the wall and twisted it into a twist to fasten it on the person.

I plan to leave it for those who come later to investigate.

As long as the investigation shows no problems, the person will be released. If there are problems, someone will naturally help him deal with them.

Half an hour later.

Chen Ming thoroughly swept several areas of the space station.

He swept from the core experimental center of the space station to the outermost internal personnel layer of the space station, leaving no place untouched, and all the left-path elements died in his hands.

Chen Ming has now turned into a monster stained with blood.

But this is Zuo Jing's blood, so Chen Ming now has no psychological burden at all, and instead feels somewhat happy.

After confirming again that there was no one on the space station that he needed to kill.

Chen Ming went to the database.

He left a message that would be automatically sent after the five-hour agreement between him and the Anti-Cult Bureau expired.

A lot of content related to him was deleted, leaving only some traces that could provide some clues for later investigators.

Then Chen Ming came to the port of the internal personnel level and boarded the spaceship where he had placed the psychic.

Getting ready to do the last thing he would do today.

However, before leaving, Chen Ming took one last look at the external personnel layer that he had separated out earlier.

The outer personnel layer was automatically divided into four parts after separation, each with a separate life support system.

And the number of ordinary people in each part is far greater than that in the left path here.

Zuo Jing is not afraid of death, but since ordinary people have the advantage in numbers, they are indeed capable of resisting Zuo Jing's elements.

Through the remote signal connection monitoring, Chen Ming can see that ordinary people have the upper hand in all four sections of the external personnel layer.

The left-hand molecules have basically all been controlled.

However, just when Chen Ming was about to leave with peace of mind, he suddenly discovered the section where the separated distress signal office was located.

Shi Shaozheng, who was in the distress signal management department, was leaning in the corner of the office.

He held a small knife and put it against Uncle Mao's neck.

In front of Shi Shao were other people in the office who had also reacted.

They were holding sticks and other weapons that they had found from somewhere, and were in a stalemate in the office, which seemed to have lasted for a long time.

As for the others, Chen Ming could die at will, but Uncle Mao who had helped him must not die.

Chen Ming drove the spacecraft out of the space station and set the spacecraft's automatic driving system to head near the planet's atmosphere.

Then he jumped out of the spaceship and entered the outer space in his physical body.

In his insect form, the carapace and elytra on his back opened, revealing the same type of biological clock jet holes as the Queen Insect's biological spaceship.

With a gray-green tail flame, it flew towards the space station area that had drifted away for some distance.

At this time in the distress signal management office.

Uncle Mao reached out and grabbed Shi Shao's arm to prevent him from being strangled.

There were already several bloody marks on his neck, with blood flowing slightly.

His forehead was covered in sweat and he might fall down at any moment.

One of his colleagues in front of him tried to persuade him again with a nervous look on his face: "Shi Shao, you should know what is going on with this space station."

"The structure of the space station suddenly separated. Someone is definitely targeting Zuo Jing. If you surrender now, you can get a lighter sentence if you are caught later."

Shi Shao simply spat and cursed: "Do you f*cking think I'm a fool? What's the difference between being arrested and dying like Zuo Jing? I might as well replace a few people before I die."

The colleague advised again: "But you didn't kill Brother Mao directly now, which means you haven't made up your mind yet. You still want to live, not die. But if you really do something to Brother Mao, you will really die."

"Shut up!"

Shi Shao's face turned black, and he swung the pointed kitchen knife twice in the air in front of him. His knuckles, which had already turned white from using too much force, looked even paler.

Just before he had time to put the kitchen knife back against Uncle Mao's neck.

A huge, pitch-black hand covered with shells suddenly tore through the wall behind him, stretched out, and grabbed his face.

Pull back hard.

Accompanied by a sound of something exploding.

Shi Shao's headless body fell directly to the ground.

The blood and white stuff from his exploding head splattered all over everyone in the room.

Especially Uncle Mao, who was closest to the scene. He heard the sound of a body falling behind him and turned his head slowly and stiffly.

It just happened to coincide with Chen Ming's action of looking inside through the hole he had torn.

Looking at that ferocious face, those scarlet eyes, smelling the bloody smell that was almost thick enough to be real in the space station and the stench of Shi Shao's incontinence who had just died.

No one dared to make any move.

Chen Ming did not make any unnecessary moves. After confirming that Uncle Mao was safe, he left the room amid the terrified gazes of the people in the room.

Uncle Mao stood there for a few seconds, and his frightened look suddenly changed.

He suddenly realized something and immediately rushed to the crack in the wall and shouted outside: "An Wuping? Is that you?"

Chen Ming heard it, but did not look back. He jumped into outer space again.

He doesn't have time to take care of people. The most he can do is save them, and then it's up to them to handle the rest.

He still had to go to the ground.

Let’s see what the other Mind Beast Project that Zuo Jing is working on is.

Since Zuo Jing was already causing trouble on the space station, he proactively leaked the dimensional infection.

So will something similar happen on the ground? Although, the areas outside the underground laboratory covered by his surveillance seem to be normal at present.

But what happened in the core area of ​​the laboratory, where Chen Ming's metal liquid could not penetrate for the time being, is still an unknown.
