"An Wuping, a bounty hunter who recently appeared in the fringe star region"

"He used to be a security guard for a security company. He disappeared while on a mission a few years ago and only reappeared recently."

"I've just returned and have already obtained the records of two pirate fleets. Both were obtained by a single person. However, the information circulating seems to say that he relied on a set of obsolete military power armor."

Liang Fei confirmed: "For military use?"

"Yes, it's a military model, Locust power armor, but it's an older model, and he does have a military background."

Liang Fei nodded and said, "Tell me more details."

"Okay, let me start from the beginning."

"This An Wuping was born in the Aojia-2 star region in the Aojia star region, which is adjacent to our Aodan star region."

"He had a happy family before he was five years old, but when he was five, his parents were brainwashed by the Zuojing cult and disappeared. They can basically be considered dead."

"He was orphaned at the age of five and was sent to an orphanage by a local women and children protection organization."

"Left path?"

Liang Fei muttered something subconsciously, then waved his hand to signal Li Weiqi to continue.

"He lived in the orphanage until he was sixteen, which happened to be the period when the mechanical race was active."

"He couldn't join the army because of his background, but the conscription standards were relaxed during that period. He was on the list because he had been cut off from his parents since he was a child. He successfully participated in the local compulsory conscription and joined the army."

"He was in the army for almost ten years before he was discharged. He must have been a low-ranking officer. After he was discharged, he joined a security company with a military background and military management."

"After working for a few years, he became the field team leader of this security company and was sent out."

"He went to an independent planet colony outside the Empire's territory. Then, all the expatriates, including him, disappeared."

"There is no information available on this independent colony planet. This is all the information we have about him before he disappeared."

Liang Fei touched the stubble on his chin and said thoughtfully: "Independent colony, I haven't heard of this name for a long time."

"So what's the need for a colony that gets bonuses from the empire but is not under the empire's control? It's even more troublesome than a pirate space station. At least you can stuff some garbage into a pirate space station to keep them from running around. This kind of place is simply the best place to breed rebellion and chaos."

"No one dares to rebel." Li Weiqi said with certainty: "It's just that the pioneering laws were set many years ago, and there are always loopholes in them. But the laws have been constantly being amended over the years. At least now the number of independent colonies is getting smaller and smaller."

"Yes, I know that. Please continue. The information from the time he disappeared until his reappearance is no longer available. What about after that?"

Li Weiqi glanced at the terminal again and summarized what his men had found out: "He first appeared in a pirate space station in the neighboring Orga star field, where he captured a small pirate fleet and brought it back."

"According to the information sold to local intelligence dealers by the pirates who are still alive, An Wuping is hiding in a cryogenically frozen hibernation chamber and used a distress signal to lure them over."

"After they salvaged the hibernation chamber, An Wuping, wearing power armor, broke in alone and killed the leader. He seized the flagship and command. He commanded the flagship alone and beat all the other ships into surrender."

"I have no problem with him taking the ship alone. The power armor is just a cover. He has the ability to blow up those pirates' ships directly."

"But I don't quite understand how he could lead a group of pirates he had just captured to defeat another group of pirates."

Liang Fei did not share the same idea as Li Weiqi and said, "A person who can stay in the army for ten years and continue to work in related jobs for so many years after being released should have this ability."

"Besides, pirates are just a bunch of rabble. They are fools who will work for whoever pays them the most. It's no big deal for them to rebel and attack their own people when their lives are about to be lost."

"You'll know when you see more."

Li Weiqi lowered his head and continued to talk about An Wuping's subsequent actions.

"After he took the captured fleet to the nearest pirate station, he sold all of his pirate ships and bought a heavily modified ship that could be piloted by one man."

"He left the space station with a large number of pirate corpses, and then another pirate fleet set its sights on him immediately."

"Mainly the pirate corpses on his ship. We can collect the bounty, as well as the power armor."

Liang Fei suddenly waved his hand at Li Weiqi and said, "I have already guessed the result. Don't talk about the useless parts. Just talk about the important ones."

"good."

Li Weiqi agreed and continued, "After killing the pirates, An Wuping stayed on the space station for half a day, and then went straight back to his hometown."

"Hometown?"

"Yes, when An Wuping's parents disappeared, they left behind a property. When he entered the orphanage, the property his parents left behind was also in his name. There were special people who were responsible for safekeeping when he joined or retired from the army."

"When An Wuping started working, he traded his old house for a new one and has been living there ever since. It was only after he disappeared that the place he lived in was demolished."

"Of course the developer wouldn't bother with a missing person, so he got nothing."

When Liang Fei heard this, his expression changed to a gloomy one: "This is not a good thing."

Li Weiqi understood what Liang Fei meant. If you rob a psychic of his property when he is missing, someone will definitely be unlucky in the end, and it will definitely not be the psychic.

but……

"An Wuping did not do anything impulsive. He just stayed in his hometown for two days, went to the government to get a new ID card, collected his bounty, and then went straight to our space station in the Odan star field after replenishing his supplies."

Liang Fei immediately compared this situation with what he had just seen, Chen Ming wantonly slaughtering people at the Zuojing Space Station, and said with some dissatisfaction: "So... kind?"

"Yes, he came here directly, with a strong purpose."

"It seems like I have to change my opinion of An Wuping. He should be a decent person, but it's just his violent disorder that makes him behave like that."

Liang Fei corrected his opinion of An Wuping in his heart, and then said: "The public security here is much better than that of the marginal star field. There seems to be no pirate activity recently. An Wuping definitely has no reason to come here, unless his original intention was Zuo Jing."

"I just checked the records on the space station. An Wuping's spaceship was towed into the port by the rescue team."

"The reason is that the spacecraft crashed. The autopilot system malfunctioned in hyperspace and drove into the hyperspace channel cloud."

"If it's an ordinary spaceship, it's possible for an ordinary person to do this, but it's unlikely for him. I don't believe that he doesn't know that even if it's an automatic flight in hyperspace, someone has to keep an eye on it all the time, not to mention a single-piloted spaceship."

"I feel like he deliberately found an excuse to board this space station. Even the ship's log may have been forged."

"His identity and background can prove that he absolutely hates Zuo Jing."

"I feel that he may have obtained some clues about Zuo Jing during the years he was missing outside, and he came here to cause trouble for Zuo Jing as soon as he came back."

"Oh, by the way, I remember he seemed to have said that he liked the Anti-Cult Bureau."

Liang Fei turned to Li Weiqi beside him and said, "Quickly check whether our Anti-Cult Bureau has had any connection with him in the past."

Li Weiqi said preparedly: "Yes, I just checked. About 20 years ago, our anti-cult bureau did take down several local Zuojing dens in an operation."

"At that time, in addition to arresting Zuojing elements, we also rescued many missing persons from the Zuojing stronghold, and asked their families to come and claim them."

"He may have been there at that time, but his parents were probably not there in those dens."

"He must have been a child at that time, but he could remember all these years."

After hearing what Li Weiqi said, Liang Fei's impression of An Wuping had basically completely reversed.

"Hmm... Interesting. So that's all he had before he arrived at the space station, right?"

"right."

"Well, although a lot of what happened on the space station after that was deleted in the database, we can probably still piece together the full picture."

"After An Wuping arrived at the space station, he came into contact with the people here, sneaked into the distress signal management department, figured out the environment here, and took the opportunity to modify the equipment here to block the signal."

"This technique of using power generation equipment to generate electromagnetic interference to block communications is quite good."

"An Wuping used this method to block the external communications of the space station, buying him time to control the space station. He also played cards with others for half a day."

"At night, they sneaked directly into the interior of the space station. After eliminating the dimensional infection, they walked out intact and killed all the left-path elements without hurting anyone by mistake."

"He also hacked into the space station's system while he was doing these things and learned what Zuo Jing was doing."

"Finally he went to the laboratory on the ground, intending to solve the thing called the Mind Beast Project."

"The follow-up situation is unclear, but he has solved the dimensional infection, so the other issues should not be a problem."

"I noticed that he had apparently deleted some of the information related to Zuo Jing in the database."

"From his previous behavior, it is clear that he is not helping Zuo Jing to cover up the incident. Instead, he wants to personally deal with the Zuo Jing elements related to the information he deleted."

"This is all the information we can find out about An Wuping."

Liang Fei suddenly knocked on the table in front of him and asked, "Didn't the president of the Psychic Society say that people who have experienced dimensional infection must be marked?"

"right."

"Then it looks like this is our next mission."

"Um……"

Liang Fei didn't say much about what might happen next, and continued to talk about An Wuping, saying, "This is all the information we can get from him and Zuo Jing. Can we get some clues from other aspects, such as the security company he worked for?"

Li Weiqi shook his head and said, "No, the company has closed down. It closed down right after he disappeared."

"Because the company's boss also went out to carry out the mission, but in the end, only An Wuping came back alive today."

"The company was falling apart, and the people under it were scattered all over the world. It was impossible to find his former colleagues."

Liang Fei said with some regret: "There's really nothing we can do about it."

"As long as we continue to investigate, we will always find more clues."

"Although An Wuping looks like a cruel person, he actually seems to be okay. You can't judge a person by his appearance. I think he is suitable for me to get to know..."

Liang Fei suddenly stopped talking halfway, pointed at the image of the planet scanned by the sensor on the screen and said: "Hey, look over here...what is this?"

As the planet rotated, the location of the original Zuojing Laboratory, which had been in the blind spot of the fleet's vision, finally appeared in front of the two.

In one corner of the planet, there is an area with large areas of glassy material that can be seen with the naked eye in space.

"What's going on in this place? If I remember correctly, this should be the laboratory that is closely related to the space station?"

Liang Fei muttered to himself and immediately called up the video recording of the planet from the space station's external surveillance.

Then, he saw the light spots on the planet that lit up dozens of minutes after An Wuping left the space station.

Both people in the captain's room subconsciously moved closer to the screen, wanting to observe more information from the video.

"Is he really just a physical mutant Psychic?"

"This destructive power is close to that of a fifth-level psychic. If it can continue to work, it will definitely reach the fifth level."

Li Weiqi immediately said: "I will notify someone to point the high-precision sensor there."

"Well, let them record the data here first, and we will go to the field to investigate and see what the situation is."

"Now?"

"Of course not now. What I mean is that we should go to the space station first to confirm that there is no residual dimensional infection on the space station. Leave the space station to others to deal with, and then the two of us will go to the ground."

"And there are people on the space station waiting for us to meet."

Liang Fei and Li Weiqi arrived at the space station on a shuttle that had been prepared.

After inspecting the space station which was littered with broken corpses and bloody flesh, he sent a signal to the fleet behind him after thoroughly confirming that there were no remaining traces of dimensional infection.

People began to land on the space station and the four outer areas dispersed from the space station to control the scene.

More than ten minutes later, when the two were analyzing Chen Ming's battle based on the corpses and various traces left on the space station.

Someone brought Uncle Mao, who had been rescued by Chen Ming before, to the two psychics.

"Sir, I have brought what you requested."

"Okay, go and do your own thing first."

Liang Fei lifted up his work badge and showed it to Uncle Mao: "Mao Xingwang, right? Can you cooperate with us?"

Not long after.

Liang Fei returned to the flagship and walked into a room alone.

This is a conference room. There is a holographically projected person sitting in the main seat.

Liang Fei saluted him and waited quietly.

The person in the holographic projection put down the document in his hand and asked Liang Fei: "What do you think of this An Wuping? Don't look at his ability, just look at him as a person."

Liang Fei thought for a moment and said, "He is very friendly."

"He provided us with information about the Zuojing Space Station as soon as possible, and personally spent a lot of time and energy to solve almost all the problems, leaving the easy things to us."

“He’s crazy.”

"He slaughtered the left-wing elements crazily in the space station and the underground laboratory. None of the left-wing elements he killed on the space station had their bodies intact, and there was not even a single body left in the laboratory."

'He's very calm'

"He investigated the entire Zuojing Space Station from beginning to end without anyone noticing anything unusual. He also compiled the information into a brief introduction for anyone who comes close to here to obtain."

"I also didn't take my anger out on others when I encountered something that harmed my own interests."

"Even for those ordinary people who instinctively resisted him in self-defense out of fear or something like that, at most he would disarm them instead of killing them outright."

"All the deaths related to him were people on the Zuo Jing list he investigated."

"I think he is someone who is very worthwhile for us to win over."

The holographic projection did not comment on Liang Fei's answer, but continued to ask: "So how do you think we should win him over?"

“I think there are three areas where we can start.”

"One is to help him achieve his goal, which is to clear out Zuo Jing. His goal is in the same general direction as ours, so we can definitely start from here."

"The other is to help him cure his berserker syndrome. Berserker syndrome patients usually have to suppress their violent emotions, which is very painful. We have done in-depth research on berserker syndrome, so helping him relieve his pain is also a good opportunity to win him over."

"Another option is to start with the losses he suffered during his years of disappearance. Although An Wuping did not show any complaints, he must have some complaints in his heart. This is also a good opportunity for us."

"It's best to have a three-pronged approach, but the first prerequisite for us to do so is to find him first."

The holographic projection seemed very satisfied with Liang Fei's answer: "This mission will still be in the hands of you and Li Weiqi. You must approach people in a friendly manner."

"His current condition is actually very dangerous. Even if it is the early stage of berserker disorder, the symptoms will become more serious as he immerses himself in extreme emotions. The wanton killing is actually a way for him to vent his disease."

"Although killing can temporarily relieve the pain, it will cause him to fall into extreme emotions and aggravate the symptoms."

"That's definitely not his original intention. He has been very restrained and only attacked Zuo Jing, so don't directly provoke him in this way."

"If mania really reaches the late stage of the disease, the patient will gradually lose the ability to judge and can be easily led by someone with ulterior motives, leading to situations we don't want to see."

"And I'm also worried that someone will find him before us."

Liang Fei's face darkened. It was obvious what kind of people would target a psychic who was affected by berserker syndrome and had a slightly weak consciousness.

Even though there had just been a conflict between them.

A few minutes later.

Liang Fei came out of the office, with only a gentle smile on his slightly fat face.

He patted Li Weiqi who was standing outside in the corridor and asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Weiqi shook the terminal in his hand and said, "I talked to my former colleague about An Wuping. They are confirming the strength of An Wuping's ability based on the video we obtained."

"We have now analyzed that his normal speed can directly exceed 3.2 times the speed of sound, and this should not be his limit."

"And he also has a mutant state, and the upper limit of this state is even more unknown."

"From the video footage, it looks like he has at least the ability to withstand large weapons. He is basically 100% certain to be a Level 4 Psychic."

Liang Fei had some doubts: "Is it still only level 4? The laboratory on the planet has been burned into crystals. Is the strength of a single person to destroy a planet almost enough?"

"My colleague said it's hard to say whether An Wuping was the one who burned the glass, so let's not calculate this for now."

"But they still believe that it was An Wuping who did it. An Wuping is indeed at level 5, so they have been working overtime to study An Wuping."

"The conclusion now is that An Wuping is a comprehensive physical psychic, and a relatively versatile one."

"Strength, speed, endurance, and physical strength are all at level 4 under normal conditions, and the psionic effects are both active and passive."

"In addition to the terrifying increase in physical abilities, the mutant state also has the ability to cause crystallization over a large area, which is similar to high-intensity plasma. Level 5 is definitely not a problem."

Liang Fei thought about what other data could be used as reference for physical psychics, and then asked, "Is there any real reference for the direction of his mutation state?"

"Yes, first of all, it is definitely a crustacean, so the current suspects in the laboratory are the Thorn Zerg and the Aurora Wind Spirit."

“Isn’t the Aurora Wind Spirit a giant butterfly?”

"It is indeed a butterfly, but only the Aurora Wind Spirit can produce plasma, so they doubt this creature."

"And according to previous records, some Thorn Zerg have indeed shown the status of black shells. The strength of this shell is higher than that of other groups of Thorn Zerg."

"This is just speculation at the moment. It will take some time to understand the details."

"Didn't we find some body tissue samples that An Wuping dropped after he entered the mutant state on the space station? The genetic test results should be available in a couple of days, and there will be a more detailed report."

Liang Fei suddenly thought of something and said, "If An Wuping really has a double biological mutation, he should have great potential, right?"

"I remember there was a psychic with a physical mutation who had two biological mutations at the same time."

"Yeah, I have an impression of that, too." Li Weiqi responded, "The 14th Legion's Level 6 Psychics, Behemoth and Galatros, are terrifying just thinking about it."

Liang Fei suddenly waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the rough guys in the army. Anyway, if you have any results, tell me."

"It's almost time for us to leave. The next mission has been assigned. We need to find An Wuping and make contact with him."

Li Weiqi asked back: "How can we find him? He has already run away."

Liang Fei gave him a reassuring look and said, "The traces of deleted data in the space station's database can help us find him."

"Besides, he has only been gone for five or six hours at most. We still have a chance to catch up with him."
