Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

The president couldn’t provide a clear stance on An Wuping.

Chen Ming didn’t disturb the president further, hung up the phone, and returned to the underground of the Earth Core Melting Furnace Power Tower.

The place was now just a scene of desolation.

Although Chen Ming’s main target along the way was the Host.

Nonetheless, the pursuit process and the battle aftermath with Thousand Faces and Tremor caused considerable damage to the Power Supply Tower.

The Power Supply Tower couldn’t be salvaged anymore, it was time to leave directly.

However, before leaving.

A large number of tentacles controlled by the Insect Queen grew from Chen Ming’s left arm, extending towards the surroundings.

These tentacles invaded the corpse of the Host, which had turned into a Meat Mountain, devouring it.

Chen Ming’s intention was clear, let the Insect Queen eat the Host to see if any memories could be retrieved from his corpse, and possibly gather more information about Zuo Jing.

After all, the Host was already dead, and with Zuo Jing losing its core figure with brainwashing ability, the Empire’s suppression of Zuo Jing would certainly be more effective. Gathering more intelligence against Zuo Jing would surely be beneficial.

While Chen Ming was having the Insect Queen do this.

His remaining Spiritual Power was also protecting the Insect Queen’s Spiritual Power.

If any issue arose, he would immediately help the Insect Queen sever this part of the consciousness to prevent further disastrous consequences.

After all, it was the Host’s corpse, and who knows if he left any tricks behind after his death; it’s always safer to be cautious.

The tentacles proliferated inside the Meat Mountain, growing continuously, feeding continuously.

When the tentacles of the Insect Queen had consumed half of the Meat Mountain, reaching near its central location.

The tentacles of the Insect Queen suddenly halted.

One tentacle twitched a few times in the center of the Meat Mountain, twisted over, and spat out a round thing in front of Chen Ming.

It was a human head with noticeable signs of flesh transformation around the edges.

Dug out from the Meat Mountain, it should be the head of the Host.

Chen Ming didn’t immediately grasp what was unusual about the head.

After all, the Insect Queen mainly read memories by devouring the brain, spitting out a complete head was rather odd.

But the next moment, Chen Ming’s expression turned serious.

Because the face on this head was different from the face of the Mind Control Psychic he last saw through Thousand Faces’ remaining consciousness.

This wasn’t the Mind Control Psychic’s face.

Chen Ming immediately picked up the head, and his other hand transformed into tentacles to wrap around the head, examining its condition.

He felt extremely dense Spiritual Energy Fluctuation belonging to the Host on this head and also discovered a deceased Enlightenment Nerve with the Host’s aura inside the head.

Yet he didn’t find any signs of cosmetic surgery on the head, nor any evidence that this head didn’t belong to the Meat Mountain, didn’t belong to the Host.

This was the Host’s original face.

The person seemed to be in their forties, similar to Thousand Faces.

And the Mind Control Psychic in Thousand Faces’ memory was also in his forties.

But when Thousand Faces became a Psychic and joined Zuo Jing, he shouldn’t have been even twenty at that time, and then the Mind Control Psychic appeared forty from his appearance.

So now he should be at least over sixty.

This age doesn’t match.

The Host’s situation doesn’t correspond to the Mind Control Psychic from Thousand Faces’ memory in Zuo Jing; they... aren’t the same person.

Chen Ming suddenly remembered something and quickly took out the Emotional Stone that appeared after Thousand Faces’ death.

This Emotional Stone didn’t resonate after Chen Ming killed the Host, but still made Chen Ming experience hallucinations when he grasped it.

And through the hallucinations induced by the Spiritual Stone, she confirmed the appearance of the Mind Control Psychic once again.

The Mind Control Psychic really wasn’t the Host.

Wait, this isn’t right.

Chen Ming suddenly thought of another possibility.

A possibility similar to what he had been doing all along.

Chen Ming recorded all the data of the Host’s head, and threw the head back to the Insect Queen, letting the Insect Queen consume it.

Soon, the Host’s memories were transmitted back by the Insect Queen.

From birth to adulthood, to joining Zuo Jing.

From becoming the leader of the new generation in Zuo Jing, to eventually dying in confrontation with Chen Ming on Yunluo Star.

The Host’s memories were very clear, clear to the extent that almost every detail could be matched with relevant information, inside, there was naturally also the memory of meeting Thousand Faces for the first time.

Calculating based on these memories, the real timeline was over sixty years, not forty.

There was an obvious discrepancy with the Host’s physical age.

The Host’s memories were clearly problematic.

Such incongruity with age, and the ability to perfectly recall every detail in the memories, could only be explained as one possibility.

That these memories were false, implanted, or forcibly altered memories.

Chen Ming suddenly punched the Power Supply Tower, shattering a large section of the wall.

The real Mind Control Psychic was another person, hidden in a more secretive place.

His actions merely solved the visible trouble.

Chen Ming originally thought the Host was the source of Zuo Jing’s cult spreading, as a Mind Control Psychic aligns well with the cult’s underlying logic.
