Chapter 404 Chase
"I did it?"
Chen Ming couldn't help but laughed in anger, and said: "All I did was find the people who were controlled by you, and it was you who killed them. Do you think it was me who did it? Is there something wrong with your brain or mine?"
The way he looked at the brainwashed psyker looked like he was looking at a fool.
"The day you control these people, they will be dead. If you want to use this to put psychological pressure on me, you are thinking too much."
"Haha."
The brainwashed psyker laughed twice, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"Just say it and give it a try without spending any money."
Brainwashed psykers say seemingly harmless things in flat tones, but actually do the most disgusting things.
And it wasn't over yet, he continued: "They might be able to live for many more years, and I might not even be able to control them until they die of old age, but there's nothing I can do about it, right?"
< br>
"Stop being so weird."
"I have already said that when an ordinary person is affected by the psychic power of a psyker, he is already dead. Even if he is alive, he is just a walking zombie."
"What I did must not be a good thing for you, otherwise you wouldn't come to me in such a hurry."
"It's not a good thing for you, and for me, it's what I have to do."
"You have the ability to kill everyone under your control like you just did, otherwise I will continue to do this."
The brainwashed psyker shrugged indifferently and said, "I'm already killing."
Upon hearing this, Chen Ming immediately took a look at the situation on the planet that the minister of psychic energy helped arrange.
Under the influence of his spiritual energy, everyone he brought there was scattered on the planet.
There are many people who are not directly controlled by brainwashed psychics and still maintain their original consciousness. They have no idea what is going on.
They could only remember that they were wrapped in metallic liquid, and then appeared in this strange environment.
Panic and fear are their prevailing emotions.
And some of these people were not far away from others when Chen Ming randomly assigned positions.
Therefore, this group of people can see that the people around them are dying piece by piece.
Finally it was the turn of those who saw this scene.
The method of death was still the same as before, his head exploded.
Such a cruel way of death is even more depressing.
It is a direct fall from an originally peaceful life to hell. Chen Ming could hardly imagine what kind of psychological torture the people there were experiencing.
But there was nothing he could do.
Because among the list of 60 million people, there will definitely be some people whom brainwashing psychics have only come into contact with a few times and have no real control over.
As special as the brainwashed psyker's abilities are, they cannot be easily detected by some means.
It is impossible to figure out whether those people are really being controlled, and those people are just in contact with people controlled by brainwashed psykers.
Therefore, it is impossible for Chen Ming to kill all the people just to save trouble or to help them end their suffering in advance.
There must be someone who can come back alive from this planet.
But others...
It can only be said that when those people were controlled by brainwashed psychics, they were already destined for this ending, and there was no way to change it.
Even if it were directed against brainwashed psykers, the outcome would be the same.
Because Chen Ming believes that if he tries to kill the brainwashed psyker, the brainwashed psyker will definitely drag everyone controlled by his psychic power into hell before he dies.
This isn't just speculation.
This is already starting to take shape.
Chen Ming saw from the news channels in different regions of the empire and the things he left under his spiritual control that he left throughout the empire that there were quite a few places in the empire where people who were not on the list were dying in the same way.
They are also people controlled by brainwashed psychics, and have certain connections with those captured by Chen Ming. There is a very high possibility that they will be taken away by Chen Ming again in the future.
The number is not large, at least not compared to the 60 million people.
Apparently this also means that the brainwashed psyker didn't kill everyone he controlled.
He only killed others who might be found by the Empire and were related to the list of 60 million people.
After their identity was discovered by the Empire, they had lost their value.
Instead, they may become a path for the Empire to attack him in the future, so they must die.
This is what brainwashing psykers do.
Chen Ming stared at the brainwashed psyker with a calm expression and said: "That's good, but why don't you be more decisive and kill everyone under your control?"
"Why should I do something for no reason? You can't find it, and there's no need for me to take the initiative to kill it."
The brainwashed psychic who had already sat on the sofa in Chen Ming's office stood up again and walked to the TV again.
The picture on the TV has turned blue, and the signal of the news channel that just reported the death of a large number of people in the empire has been cut off.
The brainwashed psychic next to the TV tuned it again and switched to a new channel.
This is the news channel of a local TV station in a certain star district.
The screen on the channel showed the situation on the planet where Chen Ming concentrated on imprisoning people affected by brainwashed psykers.
Some of the people taken away by Chen Ming had photographic equipment on them, and they recorded what happened on the planet.
However, Chen Ming remembered that he had blocked all communication signals on the planet.
It's a bit outrageous that the above situation can still be conveyed.
Maybe it had something to do with some of the psykers he had brought there.
The content of the news is to put the blame for this situation on psykers as a whole.
At this time, it was Chen Ming's turn to be indifferent: "It is impossible to use this kind of thing to drag the normalized status of psykers back to the past. The empire has been laid out for so many years, and psykers are already a part of the foundation of the empire. .”
"If you pay a little attention to the news, you will see from time to time that psychics who have committed crimes have been arrested. This is a mess left over from the past, and it is left to be dealt with now."
"One or two psykers getting into trouble won't change anything at all."
As soon as Chen Ming finished speaking, the signal on this channel was suspended, making no waves at all.
The brainwashed psychic tried to change several channels one after another, but the channel he wanted to change was all a blue screen without any external signal.
And some of the press releases on the Internet that Chen Ming could just search through the terminal were all completely processed in the blink of an eye.
It seems that the empire has also begun to exert its strength.
Although 60 million people disappeared within the empire in just a few minutes, the loss of these people was only a small number.
Even though there were a large number of people with status among them, it did not affect the overall situation of the empire at all.
Those afterglow cores that were put in place as quickly as possible after a person disappeared have begun to take over the work of the disappeared person.
Some departments with relatively good internal working structures found replacements faster than Yuhui core dispatch, and quickly resumed normal operations.
Just like Caimo Star Territory, after experiencing a dimensional infection and the infiltration of brainwashing psykers, it really took very efficient countermeasures.
The same goes for governments at all levels in other star regions and the military in various places. Although they may not have experienced similar things, You Caimo has made the consequences clear before, and any place that is slightly motivated will find a way to copy their new policies. .
With sixty million people lost to the Imperium, news of the many losses caused by brainwashed psykers was suppressed.
The empire was rapidly recovering from the pain of population loss, as if the loss of 60 million people was just a small thing that happened every day.
But correspondingly, the brainwashed psyker was not in a good mood.
Although the controlled person in Chen Ming's office had no expression on his face, this was clearly evident from the behavior of the brainwashed psyker.
Of course, this may also be the brainwashing psychic who deliberately acted like this for Chen Ming to let Chen Ming relax his vigilance.
But regardless of whether it was staged or not, it was still satisfying to see the brainwashed psyker deflated.
The brainwashed psyker also gave up at this time and continued to look for any remaining TV stations that had not been banned.
His idea of using the news media to guide public opinion in the empire before many lower-level people had time to understand the specific situation was completely suppressed.
The brainwashed psyker shook his head, sat back on the sofa and said to Chen Ming: "You cooperated with the empire to suppress all the negative news related to me, cover up all the news about the deaths of more than 60 million people, and let everyone People die in confusion. Is this really a good idea? ”
Chen Ming waved his hands and said: "It's useless for you to tell me these moral kidnappings, because I know there is no good person in your world. Who are you kidnapping? Do you really think I have never seen the world?"
"The cause of everyone's death is very clear. It was a certain psyker who has been issued a wanted order by the empire. I don't know where this psyker is hiding and whether he dares to come out and admit it."< br>
The brainwashed psychic suddenly laughed and said: "Even if I admit it, you can't take it seriously, can you?"
"Indeed, so why are you here?"
"It's nothing, it's just that you will probably find something wrong with this body soon, and I will just use it to talk to you in the end."
"By the way, I want to confirm with you how many methods the empire has prepared against me and the people I control."
"So? Are you sure?"
"Yes."
The brainwashed psyker looked like he was chatting with Chen Ming and said to Chen Ming: "I feel like I don't have to worry too much. After all, you still can't find a way to target my psionic power, just like I can't find a way to deal with it." The same method applies to you.”
"Actually, we are quite similar. We both climbed up from little people step by step, and we all relied on ourselves to enter Scarlet and master the power of Scarlet, surpassing most people."
“But I don’t understand why you are still stuck on the concept of ‘people’?”
"Obviously 'people' have hindered you a lot and brought you a lot of trouble."
Chen Ming asked: "Then how did you abandon your 'people'?"
"I gave it up the moment I entered Scarlet. If I didn't give it up, I might die in Scarlet."
Chen Ming said with some regret: "What a pity, are you Scarlet or a human now?"
"I am myself, who are you? Scarlet has a huge impact on people. Even I can't bear it and can only accept it. How did you stay unaffected?"
"I'm so powerful. I can absorb scarlet without affecting myself at all. Do you have any opinions?"
The brainwashed psychic didn't believe Chen Ming's words: "I feel it's not just that, there are many secrets about you that we can still be in contact with in the future, and I'm not in a hurry to find out now."
"That's it."
As he spoke, he got up from the sofa and walked to Chen Ming's desk, looking like he was ready to make Chen Ming covered in blood.
Chen Ming also stood up and asked, "Are you planning to leave now?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Do you have anything else to say?"
"It's not about talking, I still have something to talk to you about."
The metallic liquid suddenly spread from Chen Ming's feet, completely covering the office.
"Want to take action?" The brainwashing psyker reached out and nodded the head of the body he controlled and said, "This person only has a small part of my consciousness in his mind. Even if you kill him, it won't matter to me. Impact.”
"Of course I know, but I'm still going to do it."
The brainwashed psyker's expression truly changed at this moment.
He knew a lot about Chen Ming, and he knew that Chen Ming would generally not do useless work when he was full.
Just like how he took the initiative to contact Chen Ming several times, Chen Ming would not waste his energy to kill the body he controlled.
But this also means that when Chen Ming is really ready to take action, he must have a certain degree of confidence.
He just wanted to commit suicide directly and get rid of this small part of his consciousness. To avoid being used for anything by Chen Ming.
Chen Ming's mental power was like a sharp knife, piercing into the mind of the body controlled by the brainwashed psyker. Brainwashed psykers have constructed a hive mind network, using people.
This is the information Chen Ming got from his last confrontation with the brainwashed psyker.
Coincidentally, he also possesses the exact same ability.
Even more diverse, more complex, and more powerful than those of brainwashed psykers.
So he knows the key points of a hive mind network, especially the hive mind network built by psychics.
He knew how to target such an ability.
As Chen Ming pierced the mental power into the small part of consciousness of the brainwashed psyker.
Use your mental power to gather this part of your consciousness.
This small part of consciousness resisted instinctively, relying on the scarlet power controlled by the brainwashing psyker to easily pass through Chen Ming's mental blockade and the office blocked by Chen Ming's silence alloy, and wanted to leave.
This is what Chen Ming wants to see. When the brainwashed psyker uses the scarlet power to escape, Chen Ming, who also masters the scarlet power, can also use this power to lock in the core of the brainwashed psyker's gathered consciousness.
This is a fleeting opportunity.
Chen Ming grasped it.
His actions successfully dragged the brainwashed psykers far away into the final confrontation between psykers through the feature of being connected to the main body through the hive mind network.
Even though the two people may be located tens of millions of light years apart, under the environmental conditions of the psyker's special hive mind network, this has never been possible.
Chen Ming once again came to the consciousness space, and once again saw the brain that seemed to be filled with divinity.
Without any hesitation, he controlled the mental power to attack the brainwashing psyker's brain, and said with a slight sarcasm in his words: "Why don't you guess why I tell you so much gossip and nonsense. ”
"Also, when we compete mentally next time, will there be someone outside following the link between your mental power and mine to find your true body?"
"I'm not sure if you know one thing. There is a psyker in the Empire whose psychic powers are specifically designed to restrain you."
Long before today's incident began, after Chen Ming had just learned about the way brainwashed psykers controlled ordinary people, Chen Ming had asked his boss if his psychic powers could be used to save people.
The answer is no.
Brainwashed psykers have a tighter control over those people and penetrate deep into everyone's consciousness.
When a person is influenced by a brainwashed psyker, that person has become a puppet of the brainwashed psyker and cannot be changed no matter what.
But as for the brainwashed psychics themselves, the boss felt that he had something to say.
So after today's events began, Chen Ming immediately went to his boss to explain the situation in detail and the help he needed.
This time it's not about saving people, it's about finding the brainwashed psyker.
The brainwashed psyker's hive mind creates a special connection between all the people controlled by him. As the boss of a psyker who specializes in human psychic abilities, it is strange that he cannot find this connection.
The boss was able to discover the special situation of Chen Ming's consciousness.
Now, with Chen Ming locking part of the brainwashed psyker's consciousness through consciousness hedging, it is not impossible to find the brainwashed psyker's true form.
How could the cooperation between Chen Ming and the Minister of Psychics and the Empire really only target those 60 million people?
If there are no 60 million today, the brainwashed psykers may control 600 million tomorrow!
We cannot do more than treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The symptoms and the root cause must be treated together.
From now on.
The brainwashed psyker felt the danger from Chen Ming's side in a real sense today.
He didn't dare waste any more time responding to Chen Ming. He could only desperately think of a better way to escape than the last time.
But at this critical moment, he couldn't think of a suitable method at all. He could only continue to use the old method to tear apart a small piece of the divine brain in his consciousness space and split it into a smaller brain, allowing Chen Ming and him to The consciousness link between the two is transferred to the small brain.
Such a split meant that the human face inside the brain of the brainwashed psyker was clearly visible to Chen Ming.
This face information can be transferred directly to the worm queen by Chen Ming, and then stored in the storage unit through the worm queen, and repaired immediately.
Then submit the repaired photo data to the Minister of Psychics and ask him to search the imperial database to confirm the location of each person.
Anyway, now that the empire's plan to deal with people controlled by brainwashed psykers has been completely exposed, there is no need to hide it.
What we need to do now is to arrest all these people and leave no one behind.
It's just that this time, the troubles encountered will be more than what Chen Ming would have done himself.
But this is the empire's own business.
Chen Ming's goal has always been to brainwash the psykers themselves.
Although the brainwashed psyker barely escaped from the conscious space by separating his brain, he escaped Chen Ming's pursuit.
But before he could be happy, the next moment, Chen Ming's figure appeared next to a body he controlled.
Without saying a word, Chen Ming once again pierced the mental power into the body, once again established a spiritual link between him and the brainwashed psyker, and dragged each other into the consciousness space.
This is the disadvantage of the hive mind network. Every separation will have the "thread" of consciousness and psychic energy broken at the end.
Before this thread is completely disconnected, it is enough for the boss to help Chen Ming find the next person who is related to the consciousness of the brainwashed psyker, and let Chen Ming continue to pursue him.
Just detaching a part of the brain can't get rid of Chen Ming's tracking.
But this time when Chen Ming caught up with him.
Brainwashed psykers do not directly separate small brains.
But he said to Chen Ming: "You know that every time you do this, someone will die, right?"
"I know, but you killed them all. If you die honestly, won't they not die?"
Chen Ming was not affected by any words at all, and his mental power rushed towards the brainwashed psyker mercilessly.
The brainwashed psyker is forced to give up part of his brain once again and escape.
If he was really caught by Chen Ming, he would definitely end up dead.
And this time he deliberately spoke to Chen Ming in order to adjust the position of the head inside the brain of his consciousness space symbol.
So that some unimportant people can be exposed first and protect the other important people he controls.
He successfully actively controlled the position of the face and once again escaped Chen Ming's tracking.
But then, Chen Ming still appeared next to a body in the empire he controlled like a ghost.
But this time, Chen Ming didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense. The brainwashed psyker was forced to tear his brain apart again, without even having time to adjust the position of his face.
Even if a brainwashed psyker personally controls so many people, it is unlikely that he will be able to determine exactly who is in the brain that constitutes the symbol of his conscious space.
The most he can do is identify some truly key tasks, roughly divide a part of the space, and assign people of different importance to different areas of his conscious space and brain.
When he divided his brain, he couldn't confirm how many people he had protected. He could only roughly know that he must have lost many important people.
But at this moment, he didn't dare to think too much, nor did he dare to resist at all.
He could feel that a force independent of Chen Ming was frantically tracking him
As long as he dares to hesitate for a moment, he will be completely locked by this power.
"Wu An..."
outside the space of consciousness.
Chen Ming also reluctantly got some information from the outside world through the Insect Queen and Yuhui.
As he hunted down the brainwashed psykers, there were literally a lot of casualties in the Empire.
There was almost no way to suppress the news of casualties, because a small number of people died suddenly and suddenly on almost every planet in the empire.
What's even more troublesome and terrifying is that everyone in the galaxy in a prosperous star field in the empire died almost at the same time.
That tragic situation is telling the terrifying coverage of brainwashed psykers' psychic powers.
And this can only be regarded as a trivial matter.
Because as more and more people are lost.
The number of afterglow cores originally prepared by the empire was somewhat insufficient.
And it is true that some of the Empire's Afterglow core was affected by the psychic powers of brainwashed psykers.
Chen Ming's Afterglow core is already trying its best to fill the gap, but before the core dispatch is over, there will still be many places that lose government control.
After losing government control, all kinds of bad things happened to almost every corner of the empire at the same time.
They can only rely on the empire's top psykers and the garrisons in different places to use force to supervise different galaxies.
The number of people who died because of Zuojiao may not even compare to the number of deaths caused by the impact of the subsequent chaos.
However, when Chen Ming asked Yu Hui if he needed additional help, he was rejected.
It is said that the empire has the ability to solve these small problems.
Then Chen Ming was relieved, he could continue to track the brainwashed psyker.
And just when he once again established a spiritual link with the brainwashed psyker.
The brainwashed psychic suddenly shouted at Chen Ming: "Wait a minute! I admit it!"
At this time, the size of his brain was less than one-third of its previous size, and his conscious space exuded the feeling of mental failure.
But Chen Ming didn't listen to him at all and continued to rush towards him full of energy.
No matter what he said today, it would be impossible for Chen Ming to give up the opportunity to kill the brainwashed psyker.
This is the best chance to kill him.
The brainwashed psychic saw this and understood Chen Ming's thoughts.
He knew he had no chance of bargaining.
The brain in his consciousness space suddenly split open completely, exposing the real head of the brainwashed psyker inside.
Chen Minggang wanted to pursue him.
The brainwashed psyker's split brain alone forms a new, complete brain.
Compared to the previous smaller brains, this one contains everyone controlled by the brainwashed psyker.
All the remaining people who are still under his control are among them.
He gave up all objects of control in order to escape.
The bald head instantly disappeared into the space of consciousness.
The boss also told Chen Ming the coordinates of the next brainwashed psyker discovered through his spiritual link with Chen Ming.
It's just...the location of this coordinate is behind the wormhole.
The brainwashed psyker really gave up everything in the Empire. Maybe even his own body.
Place your trust in the leader of the negative material group who escaped from Chen Ming's colony some time ago.
It would be easier if it were someone else, but Chen Ming had no way of tracking this person in a short time.
"What a pity."
Chen Ming really couldn't track down the person who was the first to be exposed and the first to escape from his sphere of influence.
But at least with the brainwashed psyker barely surviving, his influence within the Empire has been completely wiped out.
Chen Ming's actions have solved a serious problem in the empire.
Let the concept of left path be truly and completely eradicated from the empire.
