After hearing what Han Baling said, Jin Xinyue suddenly covered her mouth and said, "According to Director Lei Yuqin of Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital, my father's brain condition is very unstable. He is still suffering from the double scourge of 'cerebral sclerosis' and 'sequelae of hibernation'. He has to be dripped with special drugs every day and be monitored and treated remotely through the Spiritual Nexus. Also, he has to be sent back to Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital for a full examination every three months so that the necrotic or diseased parts can be replaced with the synthetic brain tissues produced by the 'molecular layer-by-layer printing technology'! Is — Is that the — "
Everybody was greatly alarmed.
If they did not know Lei Yuqin's real identity and the secrets of Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital, those measures would have been nothing more than normal medical procedures.
However, since Lei Yuqin had been possessed by the extraterrestrial devils, and Deep Blue Super Brain Hospital was their biggest nest, the purpose behind the series of measures was crystal clear.
Han Baling snorted. "That's it. Through the 'remote monitoring and treatment' every day, the extraterrestrial devils can grasp most of your father's thoughts, as well as what he saw, heard, and said. The bits and pieces of his communication with you are the most critical. Even half a second of your memory will not be missed by the extraterrestrial devils.
"The full examination every three months is perhaps meant to check if the 'barriers' deep inside your father's brain are solid and whether or not he is still under 100% control.
"Or maybe, it is meant to inject new 'viruses' into his brain.
"Control and communication go both ways. Since the extraterrestrial devils can control your father, your father must know that he is under the control of a certain mysterious and evil force, too.
"But he can't tell you. Even the smallest hint might be discovered by the extraterrestrial devils. Then, they will brainwash, seal, and control him on a deeper level. It is even possible that, like what you were worried about just now, his consciousness will be completely erased and replaced with a whole set of complicated and vast databases, creating an artificial intelligence that is very similar to your father, a super Deviant Spirit — Hyper Spirit!
"In such a desperate situation, it is almost impossible for your father to resist. But since he was the planner and executor of the 'Red Tide Plan' in the past, and the one who healed the rift between human beings and demons on his own, he would certainly resist and make the extraterrestrial devils who controlled him pay a high price in his own way!
"You can imagine, everybody, if you were Jin Tuyi, how would you have resisted under such circumstances?"
Everyone fell into deep thought, putting themselves in the shoes of Jin Tuyi, and all of them felt a great fear that made them shudder.
Li Yao swallowed hard.
If he was Jin Tuyi, he would face such a fate.
Because of cerebral sclerosis, he gradually lost his clear mind and firm will. His soul slowly sank into a dark swamp, and he spent decades in a muddleheaded state.
But one day, when he woke up again, he discovered that his limbs and his body were all gone, leaving only a highly-corrupted, half-dead brain.
Even though the brain had fallen into the hands of the extraterrestrial devils and been repaired by them with 'molecular-layer-by-layer printing' technology, countless barriers, seals, and viruses had been implanted into the brain. Almost every brain cell in the brain was under high control.
He knew that the Extraterrestrial Demons had a scheme. This scheme would destroy his life's work, destroy the common hope of the human race and the demon race, and even … destroy his daughter!
But he could not say it. He could not even think about it because the extraterrestrial devils would perform a full examination on his brain and his soul every once in a while. He could not let the extraterrestrial devils discover that he had the will and the ability to resist. Otherwise, the resistance would turn into illusions like soap bubbles under the sunlight.
Then, could he tell the truth to his daughter without caring about anything and persuade her to abandon the 'Dim Moon Plan' immediately?
That would not work, either.
First of all, the massive invasion of the Black Wind Fleet was unavoidable. If the main force of the Black Wind Fleet could not be crushed in a space battle, the Xing Yao Federation would be dragged into incessant wars no matter what. Even if it was not destroyed by the Black Wind Fleet, it would be destroyed by the second or third expedition army of the Imperium of True Human Beings decades later.
Lingering for decades was obviously not an ending that Jin Tuyi wanted to see.
Secondly, the extraterrestrial devils were unpredictable and traceless. Even if their scheme was exposed, as long as their foundation was not hurt, they could always lurk for decades and stir up trouble when the Federation was about to be destroyed.
Faced with the double scourge of the Imperium of True Human Beings and the extraterrestrial devils, not just one 'Vulture Li Yao', even a hundred of him would not be able to change the situation.
Therefore …
"It's difficult. It's too difficult!"
Li Yao felt that his back teeth were cold. He discovered that Jin Tuyi at that time was like someone whose limbs had been chopped off and who had been caged in a dark, sunless prison cell. There was absolutely nothing that he could do, and there was nowhere that he could run to. He could neither live nor die!
No. Jin Tuyi's real situation was a hundred times more difficult, a thousand times more conflicted, and ten thousand times more painful than that.
If his limbs had been cut off and he had been locked in a dungeon, he would have been the only one suffering.
However, Jin Tuyi had watched his daughter step into the trap despite knowing the existence of the scheme. He had even become part of the 'trap' beyond his control.
When Jin Xinyue elaborated the 'Dim Moon Plan' in front of him, talked about her dreams and future proudly, and envisioned the dual rise of the demon race and the Federation, what kind of overwhelming tides were surging deep inside his soul, and what kind of willpower did he have to suppress the surging tides and prevent the extraterrestrial devils from sensing anything?
Li Yao covered his face with his hands and rubbed it hard, feeling that the great horror that he could not get rid of was burning him brutally.
It was the real hell.
His heart was frozen just thinking about it, and he found it hard to breathe.
Looking around, he discovered that Ding Ling Dong, Bai Kaixin, Long Yangjun, and the rest of them were deep in thought, too. Fear and shock were all beaming out of their faces.
Jin Xinyue, on the other hand, was stunned for a long time. Hot tears flowed out of her red eyes, ruining her delicate makeup.
Han Baling remarked with mixed feelings. "If I hadn't seen the files and the evidence in person, I would have found it hard to imagine that such a vicious trap and such a resolute and farsighted man could exist in the world!
"In the meantime, the heavens finally did not disappoint the man's struggle and resistance in the boundless darkness. They sent him the best gift and the best 'comrade' — Boss Bai, the Pirate Potentate, who was reincarnated in someone else's body and who swallowed the remaining soul of Yan Xinjian, the strongest expert at the edge of the cosmos for five hundred years, improving himself to an unparalleled level!
"Everybody has their limits. If Jin Tuyi had been fighting on his own, it would have been useless no matter how tough his will, his wisdom, and his heart were. The best that he could do was to postpone the scheme of the extraterrestrial devils for decades.
"But right then, he noticed the anomaly of Boss Bai.
"Nominally, Boss Bai was a trusted general of Jin Xinyue's system, and the Great White Fleet was established and expanded with the tremendous support of Jin Xinyue's system. Both as Jin Xinyue's father and as a spy of the extraterrestrial devils, he must've paid some attention to Boss Bai and the Great White Fleet.
"Normal people might not be able to see through Boss Bai's disguise, but he was Jin Tuyi, who planned the Red Tide Plan. He must've noticed some loopholes more or less.
"I think that the extraterrestrial devils couldn't have monitored Jin Tuyi all the time. It was not necessarily impossible, but it was very easy for Jin Xinyue to see through the surveillance every minute and every second. Then, all the previous efforts would've been in vain.
"There's another possibility. The surveillance of the extraterrestrial devils was indeed more rigorous than ever, but Jin Tuyi escaped from the surveillance for a short period of time with a certain secret technique. For example, he 'earned' five to ten minutes of free time for himself every day.
"He couldn't have contacted his daughter during the time because his daughter was also under surveillance from multiple perspectives. He couldn't have been the only 'spy' around her.
"Then, wouldn't Boss Bai, who had a whole fleet, mysterious origins, and unparalleled strength, be the best person for him to reach out to?
"As for how the two of them communicated, what they talked about, and what kind of agreement they reached, we naturally don't know the details.
"But judging from the final result, there must've been a certain deal between the two of them. Jin Tuyi convinced Boss Bai that an evil force that could control the Spiritual Nexus existed. More importantly, he convinced Boss Bai that as long as Boss Bai suddenly marched out, it was very possible for him to crush the force!
"Right. You said that Boss Bai jumped to the center of the cosmos?
"Although I don't know much about the space jump technology, I do know that it consumes tremendous spiritual energy and fuel. The starships have to carry all kinds of supplies, and the information about the sailing routes at the center of the cosmos and the coordinates of the destination, right?
"Boss Bai alone, when he was exhausted after a fierce battle, was barely able to finish all the preparations for the space jump.
"But what if Jin Tuyi was added to the mix?
"Jin Tuyi was not only the commander of the Coalition Army of Demons in the past but also the manager of the space exploration project of the Blood Demon Sector for decades. 'Eye of Blood Demon', the most powerful super teleportation array of the Blood Demon Sector a hundred years ago, was developed by Jin Tuyi, wasn't it? Most of the world fragments around the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm were discovered under the command of Jin Tuyi, too, right?
"During the process, Jin Tuyi accumulated tremendous experience in space jumps and secretly kept one or two unknown world fragments as his last trump cards. It was not outrageous at all, was it?
