Chen Ming had already locked the location of the laboratory before, and made the spacecraft remain directly above the laboratory after entering orbit.

There is no need to rush to the corpse pit which is some distance away from the laboratory.

Because he had previously separated a portion of the metal liquid and left a mark there, nothing had happened near the deep pit so far.

He just had to get to the lab.

The laboratory's peripheral main control and database systems are already under control, so when he goes to the laboratory he just needs to make sure the peripheral database is intact.

However, Chen Ming also wanted the experimental data of the Mind Beast Project located in the deepest part of the laboratory.

It's impossible to say that I have no interest in a research that can resist dimensional infection and erosion.

But he couldn't confirm whether something had happened in the deepest part of the laboratory.

In fact, if something went wrong it would be a good thing, because then he would only need to deal with the beast in his mind, and Zuo Jing would not be able to touch the remaining laboratory database.

But if nothing happened, he must go directly into the innermost part of the laboratory as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if his subsequent intrusion caused Zuo Jing to directly delete the data in the database and directly destroy the foundation of data storage from a physical level.

His psychic powers may not be able to repair the deleted data.

Of course, this is just a possibility, not a definite impossibility.

Chen Ming has been conducting strange research on his psychic powers.

This includes storing data in a storage device and then deleting the data for repair.

Or based on the previous method, after deleting the data, destroy the device and then try to repair it.

The final conclusion was that as long as the modules in the storage device that recorded data were not overwritten by new data, he could repair it.

Directly restore the deleted data.

But if the data is overwritten, it will not work.

And if the equipment has lost its basic structure, such as being completely melted into a block of iron or ground into powder, it will also be impossible to repair.

Chen Ming was not sure whether the Zuo Jing criminals would dismantle the equipment if they really deleted the data.

It is best to enter the deepest part of the laboratory as soon as possible.

Don't think about whether the left-wing elements may do this, just assume that they will definitely do it.

And Chen Ming just happened to know the easiest way to get into the depths of the laboratory.

The spacecraft, hovering at the top of the planet's atmosphere, suddenly opened its hatch.

After a surge of air, the spacecraft entered a vacuum state.

Half of Chen Ming's body was sticking out of the cabin door.

He had long wanted to try to break into the atmosphere alone.

But before Chen Ming really jumped, he suddenly thought of something.

This is based on the information he has currently collected from the databases of the space station and underground laboratory.

Zuo Jing created clones on the space station, tried to cause dimensional infection, and conducted subsequent experiments, and the results of his investigation on the space station were indeed true.

In the underground laboratory on the surface of the planet, Zuo Jing is conducting an experiment called the Mind Beast Project. The two laboratories are independent of each other, but they are also connected to each other, conducting various exchanges that require mutual verification.

For example, the corpses of those who have experienced the Mind Beast Project are sent to the space station to test whether the Mind Beast can resist dimensional infection.

So is it possible that the opposite is true?

For example, Zuo Jing sent the troubles caused by dimensional infection, such as those deformed stomach monsters, to the underground laboratory for relevant experiments.

Since Zuo Jing has verified that the infectiousness of dimensional infection can be completely blocked by the assistance of silent alloy and some other materials, will there be traces of dimensional infection in the underground? Although the probability is very low, after all, dimensional infection is not triggered by the presence of clones, but occurs randomly on clones.

And if there is only one source of dimensional infection, then when Chen Ming deals with the source of dimensional infection on the space station, the dimensional infection will have been completely resolved.

But the problem is that if there is a source of infection from two dimensions here on Zuojing, it would be a bit dangerous to explain it further.

Of course, the danger is not to himself, but to the empire and the cosmic environment.

Chen Ming was still more willing to believe that Zuo Jing really had the courage to infect two dimensions in the same galaxy.

After all, there have been precedents for this kind of situation in the past.

It just so happened that the president gave him a copy of absolutely comprehensive information about the last dimensional infection two days ago, which was impossible to read in a short period of time.

Displayed according to the data content.

Although there have only been two recorded dimensional infection incidents that actually broke out, one was experienced by the president and one was experienced by Chen Ming.

Of course, there was another incident that Chen Ming speculated was not recorded and happened on Zuojing.

However, there are indeed quite a few dimensional infection incidents that were not recorded and were directly eliminated in the early stages.

Chen Ming still remembered that the president said that the Empire did not ban cloning technology directly after the first dimensional infection because the sequelae were not discovered so quickly at that time.

Therefore, these unrecorded dimensional infections basically occurred during the period from the first dimensional infection to the ban on cloning technology, after the initial dimensional infection incident.

Cloning experiments are still ongoing in various laboratories.

According to records, almost all subsequent clones showed body deformations, but most of these clones' deformations were simply affected by another dimension, similar to the deformities of newborns, rather than actual dimensional infection.

Only a small number of clones actually showed signs of dimensional infection.

And then of course people died.

Even after the first dimensional infection, each laboratory has prepared follow-up treatment measures before conducting experiments.

But not many of these measures are effective.

In the earliest days, the most effective way to curb the spread of infection in the early dimensions was to drive the warship directly to the door of the laboratory, aim large or even main weapons at the laboratory, and bomb it directly if there was any problem.

Therefore, even if it is an early dimensional infection, once it occurs, the mortality rate of all people directly involved is 100%.

Then, after going through many experiments, the laboratories that communicated with each other did obtain some valuable data from the dimensional infection, and safety measures were naturally implemented.

It is similar to the silent alloy isolation layer that Zuo Jing is making now.

It does work and can stop the spread of dimensional infection.

Moreover, these silent alloy isolation layers can block the further expansion of entities that have already been infected with dimensions, but they cannot prevent dimensional infection from occurring in clones.

The source of the dimensional infection outbreak can be directly and specifically sealed into the necessary blocking equipment.

Many cloning laboratories in the Empire have found ways to deal with the problem that seem perfectly effective at first glance, and naturally they have continued to intensify their experiments on human cloning.

At first glance, this situation does seem to be a good thing.

Isolating the clones can still trigger the dimensional infection they want, and sending people directly into the isolation room also saves a lot of trouble.

However, no experiment can be guaranteed to never go wrong.

The development of science and technology itself is progress through failure.

Once the experiments related to dimensional infection fail, it is very likely to lead to the leakage of dimensional infection.

The mortality rate of dimensional infection and leakage can be said to be high. To be precise, as long as it fails, the mortality rate is 100%, even psychics are no exception.

No psyker can survive a dimensional infection leak, even in its early stages.

So far at the level of the empire, there are no survivors except the president and Chen Ming who have personally experienced the dimensional infection.

In addition, no matter how good the protective measures are, there will always be loopholes. Even if the dimensional infection is restricted over a long period of time, there is still the possibility of leakage.

Once the dimension is infected and leaked, a large number of people will die again.

Later, the wave of deformed children began to attract attention, and the president gradually discovered the connection between the deformed children and dimensional infection.

The emergence of sequelae resulted in a 90% deformity rate among newborns in the empire for at least the next twenty years.

Even if the Empire has cryogenic hibernation technology, it can extend human life in disguise.

The lack of newborns in the past twenty years is indeed a heavy blow to the empire.

Although it has not yet reached the point of direct collapse, if this time continues to extend, it will be really fatal.

So after half a year of testing and verification, and the death of a large number of top scientific researchers.

The empire finally decided to completely ban this technology and seal up all related information, so that only the president and some government officials were qualified to use it.

Of course now, Zuo Jing is suspected to have studied dimensional infection and created survivors who survived the dimensional infection.

Coupled with the dimensional infection that Chen Ming experienced some time ago, the two sequelae are likely to erupt in an overlapping manner.

In order to completely solve the troubles of left diameter and dimensional infection and carry out targeted prevention.

Some information related to dimensional infection has been released at some levels.

Chen Ming didn't know whether Zuo Jing learned about the method of infection in the isolated dimension from the news that it had been released or whether he had developed it himself.

No matter which one it is, they are definitely the same as the cloning laboratories in the empire that once discovered new phenomena and continued to conduct research after the first dimensional infection incident.

They believed that isolation measures were very safe and invested manpower, material and financial resources into them without any hesitation.

Expanding research on dimensional infection.

These are all backed by historical data, not just random guesses by Chen Ming.

So at this moment, he was standing in front of the open hatch of the spacecraft outside the atmosphere.

He directly took the worst result as the most likely result, which means that Zuo Jing also conducted dimensional infection experiments in the underground laboratory.

According to this, even if Zuo Jing did not actually do this, he would not suffer much loss.

Chen Ming became alert, then mobilized the metal liquid he left in the underground laboratory and went to the closed door at the core of the northernmost part of the laboratory.

Before, he was worried that his own spiritual power would be exposed, so he didn't dare to break the door directly.

But now that he was going to break in directly, and he believed that he could control the situation directly and delete the information that was not beneficial to him, there was no need for him to deliberately keep anything.

Although the door made of silent alloy material can block psychic fluctuations, Chen Ming's psychic power cannot affect it.

But the strength of this metal itself is not top-notch.

It cannot stop physical attacks.

If the metal liquid really discovered the dimensional infection, Chen Ming would delay his actions slightly.

If you don't find any signs of dimensional infection, just rush in.

After thinking it through.

Chen Ming no longer hesitated, released his hand on the hatch handle, and jumped off the spacecraft.

Gravity was pulling him straight down.

After adjusting his posture in the air, the biomass nozzle behind him ejected a large amount of gray-green tail flames, once again providing him with huge acceleration.

Under the dual acceleration of gravity and the biological engine, Chen Ming rushed straight to the ground like a meteorite.

The atmosphere of this planet is relatively high and thick.

At this speed, it will take about two minutes to reach the ground from outside the atmosphere.

It just so happened that at this moment the metal liquid turned into a metal filament only as thick as a molecule, which directly penetrated the silent alloy membrane at the bottom of the door.

Moreover, the single-molecule structure created by Chen Ming just bypassed the sensing circuit in the middle of the silent alloy film and did not trigger the alarm.

This was a pleasant surprise.

But it doesn't make any sense.

Because the big fuss he's going to make next can't be covered up without an alarm now.

As the metal liquid flowed into the deepest part of the laboratory in large quantities, Chen Ming immediately saw a complete scene of chaos.

There were corpses everywhere, and flesh and blood that had completely merged with the metal walls.

Everything that had anything to do with living things had the heart-shaped deformation that Chen Ming had seen in the corpse pit before.

The shape used to express love, after being expressed through distorted human tissue or some unknown flesh and blood tissue, still made Chen Ming feel nauseous even though he had seen it once.

It's not just the nausea of ​​sensing the psychic energy fluctuations of the beast in the mind, but the real nausea that makes people physically uncomfortable.

It is scenes like this that form a sharp contrast to the peace and harmony in other parts of the laboratory.

Chen Ming held back the unnecessary feelings.

The metal liquid expanded directly underground without any hesitation and quickly found the main control room and monitoring room which were also covered with flesh and blood.

Using equipment made of liquid metal, they hacked into the laboratory and instantly took control of the most core area of ​​the laboratory.

And through monitoring and spreading of liquid metal, it was confirmed that there were indeed no signs of dimensional infection in the underground laboratory.

Although Chen Ming did see the corpses of the deformed stomach monsters, they were just corpses. When the source died, these deformed stomach monsters would naturally die as well.

Moreover, the corpses of these deformed stomach monsters were not affected by the surrounding heart-shaped deformed flesh and blood. It seems that the mind beasts and dimensional infection are indeed mutually exclusive.

When he discovered this, there were still forty seconds before Chen Ming landed.

He even had time to take a look at the database.

The contents in the database are similar to those on the space station.

When the Mind Beast Project went wrong, the core of the laboratory did warn the outside world.

However, all these warning signals were blocked by people with ulterior motives.

If Chen Ming did not interfere, it would probably take until the inner beast developed before people outside would notice that something was wrong.

Then once the door opens, it becomes a great experimental process.

This is the left path.

Chen Ming temporarily stopped his investigation of the database.

At this moment, there were ten seconds left before he reached the ground.

Feeling the high heat caused by friction with the atmosphere, he slowly calmed down and prepared for battle.

And inside the laboratory.

Management in the area outside the laboratory has anxiously set up a communication channel.

The person in charge of laboratory safety had already observed Chen Ming while he was still flying in the atmosphere, and immediately reported that Chen Ming was about to fall overhead.

Of course, at this time they still thought it was just a meteorite.

However, when their high-precision scanner detected the ferocious creature rushing straight into the ground, they only felt their scalps tingling.

After a conversation on the emergency communication channel, they found that they had no means to stop the creature.

Even the psychic responsible for laboratory security would not be able to withstand the impact from the starry sky.

No one could interfere with Chen Ming's actions.

The moment when Chen Ming, in insect form with crimson tail flames, hit a flat area on the planet at a terrifyingly high speed.

A shock wave visible to the naked eye, accompanied by a huge amount of dust that almost soared into the sky, swept away in all directions. The roar of the violent impact excluded all sounds within a radius of dozens of kilometers.

At the core of the impact, the ground collapsed and shattered, leaving only a deep straight pit leading directly to the ground.

After hitting the ground, Chen Ming continued to penetrate thousands of meters deep underground, directly smashing the structure of the laboratory and rushing into the core area that had been covered with the flesh and blood of the mind beast.

The pitch-black shell exuded a burning breath, and even the impact brought by Chen Ming's continuous acceleration could not cause any effective damage to him.

An impact whose speed was even faster than that of a Gauss cannon's shell was nothing to Chen Ming.

The burning sensation on Chen Ming's body gradually dissipated. He ignored Zuo Jing who might be coming from outside and chose to go directly to find the beast in his heart.

Anyway, if Zuo Jing dares to open the door now, he will die. The influence of the beast in his heart can even charm him. It is a luxury for some ordinary people to survive a fight.

Even if there are psychics here in Zuojing, they can only protect themselves at best.

There is nothing much to say. Going back to deal with Zuo Jing is just a waste of time. It is better to deal with the beast in my heart.

Chen Ming walked straight to the center of the laboratory.

As soon as Chen Ming started to act, the surrounding environment immediately began to convey a feeling of disgust that made him want to vomit.

Those human tissues that clearly belonged to different people but were stuck together made him once again experience what disgusting was.

Come to think of it, anything related to this kind of extreme psychic power seems a bit disgusting.

It's all blood and flesh.

Is this some kind of rule?

This thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, but he did not dwell on it immediately. Instead, he suppressed the idea in his heart and suppressed the nauseous feeling. Now everything else was empty, and killing the beast in his heart was the most important thing.

Through the surveillance camera in the deepest part of the laboratory that had not been completely damaged, Chen Ming easily determined the location of the beast in his mind.

However, when Chen Ming arrived here, he found that this spiritual beast did not look like a beast at all.

Just an ever-expanding mass of flesh.

Through psychic perception, Chen Ming could clearly feel that the core of this mental beast was a spiritual stone that had merged with flesh and blood.

And the nature of the beast in the mind.

According to the research data Chen Ming found from the database here, the Mind Beast is just a by-product of the Mind Beast Project research.

What Zuo Jing is really researching is to use the extreme emotions of the spirit stone to influence the nature of the body. Not to kill people directly like the corpses in the deep pit, but to allow people and spirit stones to coexist together.

Some are similar to parasitism.

It's just letting people parasitize the spirit stone.

It can transform people into people with properties similar to those of spiritual stones, protecting their existence and preventing them from being infected and eroded by the dimension.

These mental beasts are the result of a failed experiment, which is a manifestation of the spiritual stone eroding the human body. It is also the source of the name of this plan.

Looking at the piece of meat slowly wriggling in front of him, Chen Ming felt extremely nauseous.

Chen Ming couldn't hold back any longer.

Everything he did before was based on safety.

Now that there are no security issues, the only thing left for him to do is the simplest thing.

Chen Ming leaned forward slightly and made a movement to exert force.

The dark beast pounced on the bloated body of the beast in the mind in an instant.

The spikes that popped out from the arm slid into the body of the mental beast like a hot knife cutting cold oil, tearing a gap big enough for Chen Ming, who was now three meters tall, to squeeze in.

And when Chen Ming made another effort.

A hole appeared in the center of the piece of meat, running through front and back.

Chen Ming appeared behind the piece of meat.

What he held in his hand was the spiritual stone that was attached to flesh and blood.

Part of the spiritual stone has begun to turn into flesh and blood, and there are also some biological reactions.

Some boneless flesh and blood that was almost equivalent to growing on the spiritual stone immediately wrapped around Chen Ming's hands after leaving the piece of meat.

One part wanted to return to its original body, while the other part wanted to occupy Chen Ming's body.

Of course Chen Ming would not let this thing realize any of his ideas.

A small amount of plasma emerged in his palm, directly carbonizing all the flesh and blood on the spiritual stone.

After knocking the spirit stone against the wall next to it, all the carbonized flesh and blood tissue fell off.

Chen Ming got another spiritual stone.

Its psionic trait is, obsession.

It has a dark red heart-shaped pattern that looks like dried blood.
