Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chen Ming looked into the mirror in front of him.

From the surface of An Wuping’s pseudobody, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong, but there was indeed an undeniable sense of anomaly in his mind.

Chen Ming was aware of the existence of this thing, but couldn’t analyze exactly what Zuo Jing left behind or what effects it had.

However, the Insect Queen could analyze it.

As the technical support for the manufacture of pseudobodies, and being a spiritual creature, the Insect Queen could completely analyze valuable information from these remnants.

As Chen Ming’s request was conveyed to the Insect Queen, her consciousness immediately appeared in An Wuping’s body.

Moments later.

The Insect Queen transmitted the analyzed contents over through memory.

The spiritual residues left by the Glass Bead Spirit Ability User root themselves in a person’s brain like seeds and can be triggered again under the manipulation of spiritual energy.

Once triggered, these seeds can stimulate a person’s nerves, creating violent urges and impacting one’s consciousness to some extent.

Of course, for a Psychic, it would only have a minimal effect, while it may be more powerful on ordinary people.

This should be the spiritual energy of the brainwashing Psychic that Zuo Jing was capable of, recorded by the Glass Bead Spirit Ability User using his spiritual energy.

Though this thing’s effect is almost negligible for an ordinary Psychic, for a Psychic suffering from rage syndrome, even a little stimulation could be deadly.

Zuo Jing’s intentions are somewhat evident.

But since Chen Ming had already detected this in advance, this thing completely lost its threat to him.

Chen Ming reached out with his hand, and the Insect Queen immediately coordinated, deriving some body tissue.

Using this body tissue, a brand-new pseudobody identical to An Wuping was manufactured on the spot.

Chen Ming’s consciousness immediately transferred, temporarily handing An Wuping’s body to the Insect Queen to handle.

Then Chen Ming controlled the new pseudobody to move around a bit, adapting to it.

He extended his right hand again, letting the Insect Queen’s special experimental organs cover his right hand.

Immediately, he opened An Wuping’s skull.

With the Insect Queen’s cooperation, he removed the parasitic seed-infected brain, which was practically useless, and replaced it with a new brain manufactured by the Insect Queen on the spot.

This scene, although still somewhat unsettling for Chen Ming, was not something he hadn’t done before during pseudobody experiments with the Insect Queen, and he’d done it quite a few times.

So it was fine, no big issue.

Admittedly, sometimes pseudobodies are really convenient; missing an arm, leg, or even a brain can be swiftly replaced and used.

Though Chen Ming could have directly eradicated the spiritual residue invading his brain, it was apparently a better choice to replace the brain when it could be swapped so freely.

As for the old brain left behind, Chen Ming wasn’t in a rush to dispose of it.

Instead, the Insect Queen was tasked with creating a small incubation pod to sustain the vitality of this brain.

The seeds left by Zuo Jing in this brain posed no real threat to him, so he intended to use it to his advantage.

Moreover...

Chen Ming casually pulled a box from An Wuping’s clothing pocket using the freshly manufactured pseudobody.

It was a box made from Silent Alloy Material collected on the Space Station, specially used to store the Fear and Obsession Spiritual Stones acquired on the Space Station, to prevent the accident that occurred with that Void Spirit Ability User from happening to him.

Now, Chen Ming directly opened the box containing the Fear Spiritual Stone.

The pitch-black fear instantly tainted the surrounding environment.

But it was quickly crushed and retracted back into the box by Chen Ming’s own spiritual power.

When he gripped the spiritual stone with the new pseudobody, besides the persistent fear,

there appeared a clear image of only An Wuping amidst a blurry illusion before Chen Ming.

In the illusion, An Wuping’s head suddenly exploded, blood and filth splattering everywhere, and the illusion vanished as quickly.

Much like the illusion brought on by the Whispering Spiritual Stone, after being transformed by the slight influence on a Whispering Psychic who had embraced the Pirate Leader’s death.

It indicated that next, by replicating the illusion exactly with the newly created pseudobody,

the residual consciousness of that Psychic, now only driven by an innate vengeance and incapable of clearly recognizing Chen Ming’s disguise, would completely dissipate.

Moreover, the spiritual stone, created from his death-related fear, would resonate with a tangible enemy who caused his death.

Thinking about this, Chen Ming couldn’t help but feel like laughing.

Since he had already temporarily replaced An Wuping’s brain, replacing one is as good as replacing two. Should he take this chance to do so?

Without needing much contemplation, the answer was already decided.

He could do it.

But there’s no rush.

The existence of the Resonating Spiritual Stone is presumably known knowledge.

The emergence of a new Resonating Spiritual Stone could serve to indirectly confirm An Wuping’s death, making everyone believe it as actual death.

Given that Zuo Jing had once attempted to turn him into another Zuo Jing and left things in his brain, surely he would attempt a second time, guiding him to commit some evil deeds using that brain residue.
