Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

”Just like I said earlier, I need to see evidence.”

”What kind of evidence?”

”The most direct kind, surveillance will do.”

The officer considered for a moment and then said, ”We don’t have surveillance evidence...”

Chen Ming slammed his fist on the table.

He really wanted to unleash his Spiritual Energy and control the entire police station, turning it upside down himself to see if there was any surveillance evidence.

But the Spiritual Power pervading the entire planet suddenly locked onto him again, clearly sensing the fluctuations in Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy.

”Tsk.”

Chen Ming had no choice but to pull a voice recorder from his pocket and press the play button.

This was the audio he recorded earlier in the school’s security office.

Everything the student who was guarding the door said was in here.

Although he usually liked to use Spiritual Energy in more straightforward ways, Chen Ming never skimped on proper preparation.

”Need me to help you find the person?”

The officer showed no embarrassment when confronted with immediate evidence.

Facing Chen Ming’s doubts, he seemed completely unaware of his earlier false statements, instead saying to Chen Ming, ”Please wait a moment.”

After speaking, he turned around, went to the back of the reception area, and picked up the phone.

About ten minutes later.

The student who guarded the door at school hurriedly arrived at the police station.

His face was filled with anxiety, panic, fear, and terror.

Not just towards Chen Ming, but also towards the officer and certain others not present.

He came to Chen Ming and the officer, shaking and stuttering, ”Well... I actually don’t know anything, but he threatened me with his Colonel status. I got scared and thought I’d make up some stories quickly so he’d leave. What I said before was all false.”

Chen Ming knew the student was repeating words taught by others. He was just an ordinary student; it wasn’t his fault, but Chen Ming still had to say, ”You better think it over.”

Yet before the student could speak, the officer stopped Chen Ming, saying, ”Mr. Chen Ming, even if you currently have this authority and are a Colonel, you can’t casually threaten others in front of us.”

Chen Ming snorted coldly, saying, ”If just speaking a reminder counts as a threat, then I really want to ask what you mean by that.”

The officer wore a sullen face, momentarily too afraid to answer Chen Ming.

Chen Ming didn’t want to look at the officer any longer, turning towards the student while attaching his Colonel insignia to his chest.

”Tell me, what’s the real situation?”

”I... I...”

The summoned student was stiff, unable to move, his face full of terror, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Previously, Chen Ming might have scared him a bit, yet the student at least communicated smoothly with him.

Now, his speech was halting, clearly having been threatened by others.

The threat he received was undoubtedly more severe than Chen Ming’s.

Chen Ming had already thought of many ways to threaten a student.

Seeing the student with tears almost welling up, Chen Ming could only say with some pity, ”Alright, you can leave.”

Chen Ming stopped questioning the student, no longer forcing him to give a truthful answer.

He was just an unfortunate student, tasked with guarding a door, then threatened by people.

It really wasn’t necessary.

Yet the student, even hearing Chen Ming’s words, dared not move, instead looking towards the officer.

The officer quickly stepped forward, holding the student’s shoulder, escorting him out of the police station.

After a while, he returned to Chen Ming, saying, ”I’ll help you find the surveillance, just wait a moment.”

”Why? Did your conscience suddenly awaken?”

Chen Ming didn’t believe such things happened in the world.

The officer didn’t respond to Chen Ming, disappearing into the interior of the police station.

Leaving Chen Ming to wait outside.

Time rushed by.

The officer still hadn’t returned.

Despite Chen Ming’s repeated urging, he finally returned empty-handed nearly an hour later, standing before Chen Ming.

”Sorry, Mr. Chen Ming, the storage device holding the surveillance evidence is broken.”

Now Chen Ming understood why the officer’s conscience suddenly awakened.

However, he didn’t get angry, instead following the logic of the evidence being broken, saying, ”So, the evidence is gone, right?”

”The evidence that brought Cheng Xinghe in is gone, so can he be released?”

By now, the officer had completely assumed a rogue attitude, saying, ”But no, that’s still not possible.”

Chen Ming chuckled and said, ”How was Cheng Xinghe sent to confinement? Because surveillance showed him instigating a fight.”

”How can you stop him from leaving? Because the surveillance is broken.”

”Is this making any sense?”

The officer, grim-faced, said, ”I believe I’m speaking sense, but you seem not to understand.”

Chen Ming wouldn’t condone such snide comments, as the surging Spiritual Energy fluctuation instantly enveloped him.

And as Chen Ming acted, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation that had locked onto him since entering the Space Station immediately reacted.

They similarly surrounded Chen Ming, firmly locking his Spiritual Energy, preventing it from spreading.

Chen Ming didn’t relax, but he also didn’t directly utilize his powers further.

Maintaining his current state.

However, the Spiritual Energy fluctuation didn’t accept this outcome, instead further compressing Chen Ming’s Spiritual Power, pressuring his consciousness, trying to force Chen Ming to abandon using Spiritual Energy.
