”Hey, I’m dead, can’t you just listen to a dead man clarify things?”

”You’re already dead, can you hurry up? I have things to do outside.”

”You can tell that time moves slowly in this space of consciousness, right? At least let me clarify my last words.”

Seeing Chen Ming with the same attitude, the remnants of Thousand Faces’ consciousness could only compromise: ”Alright, I’ll speak quickly.”

”Later on, I further disguised myself. I learned some makeup and disguise techniques, masking myself as a stranger and starting to play Glass Bead again.”

”I started with just one remaining Glass Bead and won more back.”

”Not only Glass Beads, but also money.”

”I hid all the Glass Beads elsewhere, and stored away all the money too.”

”Just like that, I managed to luckily survive until the day I became of age.”

”On that day, with a small knife, I retrieved the Glass Beads I had won over the years and a savings card containing enough money to raise me from childhood.”

”I gave the card to my father.”

”He paid no attention to the jar of Glass Beads in my other hand, only caring about the money I gave him.”

”For the first time, he praised me, then took the money and went out for the afternoon, and when he came back...”

Chen Ming suddenly interjected: ”I bet he lost all the money in one afternoon, then he continued to ask you for more, and when you didn’t give it to him, he cursed you and wanted to hit you.”

”... Got a smoke?”

Chen Ming used Spiritual Power to manufacture a small box of cigarettes he had seen in reality within this space and handed them to Thousand Faces.

”Special supply cigarettes from the Fourteenth Legion, good stuff.”

Thousand Faces took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.

Chen Ming casually lit it for him.

Thousand Faces closed his eyes and took a deep drag, slowly exhaling rings of smoke as he asked: ”This is a very cliche story, right?”

”Right.”

Thousand Faces took another drag, calmly continued: ”He wanted to hit me, wanted to find more money from me.”

”And after biting off one of my own fingers, I took out the knife.”

”I was already a strong adult. Even with my hand injured, I easily overcame that drunkard, smoker, and gambler.”

”I severed his tendons and ligaments, cut off the tongue he used to scream, repaying all the beatings and suffering I had endured over the years,”

”Finally, I stuffed every Glass Bead I had won over the years into his stomach.”

”Just like he used to stuff Glass Beads into my stomach.”

”Watching the Glass Beads fill his stomach, fill his esophagus, until they couldn’t be stuffed anymore.”

”I was very happy.”

”I was very satisfied.”

”After he died, I awakened Spiritual Energy.”

”My Spiritual Energy isn’t just able to replicate others’, I can replicate everything about others, including height, appearance.”

”Only Psychics can have physical manifestations of their abilities, like those Glass Beads, which should be called Heart-Gathering Spirit Pearl.”

”Handling his aftermath was rather simple, just told the outside world he drank himself to death, and no one said anything.”

”Anyway, he was just that kind of person, no one suspected anything when I, a ’good child’ in everyone’s eyes, said that.”

”Later, there were some creditors he owed money to that came over, of course, I could repay the debt, and I did.”

”I also killed off some fools who wanted to trouble me.”

”I planned to move somewhere and start a new life.”

”But just before I left, someone informed me, my father, having lost too much money gambling, sought help from Zuo Jing.”

”By that time, I was already a Psychic, I knew I had the ability, so I chose to investigate Zuo Jing.”

”At that time, I discovered that the surface of Zuo Jing was just a facade, the true Zuo Jing was a powerful entity hidden within the Empire, funded by multiple sources.”

”So I had an idea, which was to join Zuo Jing.”

Just as Thousand Faces said this

The surrounding environment suddenly blurred for a moment, as if momentarily scrambled.

Thousand Faces showed no reaction to this situation, but he clearly saw the changes in the surroundings and stood up instead of staying on the bed.

After he stood up.

The environment surrounding them underwent a complete transformation.

From the attic of a dilapidated building, it became a basement.

The shape and structure were much like the Zuo Jing stronghold under the cafe that Chen Ming had stayed at.

Chen Ming and Thousand Faces stood at the corner of the basement staircase, able to clearly see the entire basement.

At this moment, other people besides the two of them appeared around.

But Chen Ming didn’t pay much attention to those people.

Instead, he focused on the deepest part.

There, the young Thousand Faces sat at a desk.

And behind the desk was a person completely hidden in shadow, entirely obscured from view.

At this moment, a strange noise inexplicably appeared in the voice of Chen Ming’s Thousand Faces, along with abrupt changes in the tone.

”I joined Zuo Jing to fulfill my insane ideas.”

”?”

Isn’t this quite a jump in narrative? Thousand Faces’ previous behavior sounded like actions one would expect from someone with somewhat normal values.

Why did he start talking about joining Zuo Jing as fulfilling his insane ideas?

What insane ideas?
