'Black Dream' Yun Haixin glanced at Li Yao.
Li Yao was still shivering in fear.
It was the usual reaction of the spider tank 'Red Pig'. Although Yun Haixin was not fond of setting the cold machine to such a humane level, he could still turn a blind eye to it since it was the 'major''s pet.
"Most importantly of all, I couldn't find out the guy's background at all."
Yun Haixin continued his analysis. "Twenty years ago, when I left the Imperium, not only did such a person not exist, but there was not even the soil to raise such a monster. Judging from his shocking performance in the past year, he must be between the middle level of the Divinity Transformation Stage and the Divinity Branching Stage at least. Such a shocking expert couldn't have lurked in the darkness for decades, much less jump out of a rock!
"According to the public files of the Imperium, he returned to the Imperium as the commander of the Black Wind Fleet. However, there was no such brutal and shameless guy in the Black Wind Fleet that was crushed by the Holy League a hundred years ago. Otherwise, the Black Wind Fleet wouldn't have suffered such a miserable failure. In other words, it was very possible that he joined the Black Wind Fleet during the Black Wind Fleet's expedition to the edge of the cosmos and seized the command and the title of 'Black Wind King'.
"Is it possible?
"A Mr. Nobody at the edge of the cosmos snuck into the intimidating, destructive Black Wind Fleet and usurped the highest command of the entire fleet. He even snuck into the Imperium and turned the Imperium upside down, becoming a powerful minister of the Imperium and even influencing the election of the emperor? Is it really possible that such unbelievable things were accomplished in only several years? "
"Impossible."
Li Yao shook his head hard and said, "That's absolutely impossible!"
"But the facts are right before our eyes. Li Yao, the Black Wind King, does exist," Chu Zhixiao said.
Chu Zhixiao said, "Also, he rose to power almost at the same time as the Puppet King. The Black Wind King and the Puppet King are almost identical copies of the Covenant Alliance and the Imperium."
"Yes. If they do exist, there can only be one answer."
Yun Haixin said, "There must be a very powerful organization, institution, or force hiding at the edge of the cosmos. It may not be as large as the Imperium of True Human Beings, but it is at least as large as twenty Sectors and has technology that is better than the Imperium or even the Holy League in certain fields. Perhaps it is the nest of the extraterrestrial devils, where the Puppet King and the Black Wind King, the two real extraterrestrial devils!"
Li Yao: "Well …"
"So, in your opinion, are they one person or two?"
Yun Haixin.
..................... if there is one person, how is it possible that he manipulators manipulators? of the same person...... of. how........
"That's not a problem," Yun Haixin said.
Yun Hai thought to himself, If the guy has really reached the middle or high level of the Divinity Branching Stage, it's possible that he can split his soul into multiple parts and act at the same time. Or, is the form of 'Seven Star' one person or two? Of course, the Puppet King and the Black Wind King may be from the same mysterious and enormous organization. Their names are just their code names and not important.
"What is important is that their methods are the same. They are both unpredictable, unpredictable, and dangerous people. One moment of carelessness, and our brains will be invaded, interfered with, or even swallowed by them!"
"That is a big problem," Chu Zhixin said.
"If we don't take care of the brain virus that they spread out, it is very likely that they will run away even if we approach them again. Qixing, have you figured out anything about the Puppet King's brain-hacking method?"
"Yes."
Every crystal camera on Guan Qixing's face was glittering. He said in a low, muffled voice, "After the close contact with the Puppet King the other day, during which he invaded our brains and souls and controlled our retina and auditory nerves, I captured the pattern of his invasion and retrieved some interesting data.
"I can write a brand-new 'anti-virus mental wall' based on his invasion pattern and inject it into Red Pig's crystal processor. It will boast the functions of defense and tracking. In such a way, if we run into the Puppet King again and he does the same thing, Red Pig will be able to interfere with his invasion and even inject a certain 'tracking factor' into his soul, allowing him to track down his real body.
"However, for the mental wall to be 100% effective, we still need to have an immaculate mind and soul without any gaps or weaknesses.
"The brain virus works by relying on the weaknesses of human nature. Therefore, the mental defense wall must protect the weaknesses in the depths of our souls. I know that you were invaded by the Puppet King that day and didn't even know that you were in an illusion. Then, did the Puppet King say anything to disturb your mind in the illusion?"
Guan Qixing's words made the atmosphere in the meeting room weird all of a sudden.
Li Yao looked around and discovered that both the dominating Yuan Kou and the mysterious Yun Haixin were in a trance, as if they were unwilling to expose their 'weaknesses of human nature' in front of everybody.
Even though 'everybody' was their closest comrade-in-arms, they still could not do it.
After a long silence, Guan Qixing said, "Since I'm the one who raised the question, I'll be the first to answer it. Although I was in the safe zone outside of the engine compartment, I was still found and invaded by the King of Puppets. The King of Puppets did not attack my soul but merely raised a question for me. He asked me, since I was a brand-new life made of seven remaining souls, which of the seven remaining souls was the main one and which was the secondary one? Which part of my life did I like more?"
The tricky question seemed to have drained all of Guan Qixing's computational ability. The moment he finished speaking, the colorful brilliance on his face dimmed.
"I was caught in the Puppet King's illusion, too. After I smashed thousands of virtual ghouls that he created, he said something to me, too," Yuan Kou said.
Yuan Kou said, "He asked me, 'What are you afraid of?'"
After saying that, Yuan Kou took a long breath, and his enormous body withered.
"Just like you," Yun Haixin said, "the Puppet King sent me a message through the illusion, too. He said, 'I know why you are staying in the Holy League.'"
Expressionlessly, Chu Zhixiao listened in silence. In the end, she concluded, "You must've heard what the Puppet King said to me. I asked the priest if he knew that he was being manipulated, and the Puppet King asked me if I knew that I was being manipulated through the priest. That's all."
The four members of the yaksha squad were caught in silence.
Even in such a notorious' heretic squad ', there were still some taboos that had never been broken.
Nobody had ever asked who Guan Qixing was exactly. Was he the amalgamation of seven remaining souls, the combination of seven different people, or one of the personalities swallowed the other six personalities, or a spiritual puppet that only inherited the memories of seven people?
For example, nobody had ever asked why 'Titan' Yuan Kou, a hideous human-shaped beast with a hideous face, was shivering and sobbing in his nightmares all the time, as if he were terrified of something.
For example, nobody had ever asked why 'Black Dream' Yun Haixin, an Immortal Cultivator who had a profound understanding of the brain, memories, and self-awareness, would abandon himself and stay in the Holy League as an accomplice.
Of course, it was also because nobody had ever asked their captain, 'Major' Chu Zhixiao, if he knew anything about his past. Also, what was going on with the goddamn yaksha squad? Were they part of a certain enormous experiment and pathetic 'experiment subjects'?
At the very least, with 'Black Dream' Yun Haixin's wisdom, he should've thought of it, and he certainly did. Now and then, he would mock himself.
But he never asked Chu Zhixiao, as if Chu Zhixiao had never asked him before.
But now, the Puppet King had grasped all of their secrets. In the illusion, he used a sharp scalpel to dissect their twisted humanity layer by layer, wantonly toying with their fatal weaknesses.
The battle meeting was temporarily suspended.
The four core members of the yaksha squad were all in a great trance. They had to meditate and train to stabilize their beliefs.
"I have a feeling."
At the end of the meeting, 'Black Dream' Yun Haixin said gloomily, "It won't be long before the four of us' clean up 'each other. Perhaps, this is the destiny of the cleaners."
…
Li Yao and Chu Zhixiao returned to her room again.
Chu Zhixiao was crouching in a corner again. She lit a cigarette and hid herself in the rising smoke. Confusion and vulnerability were popping up in her eyes that were frozen.
Just like that, she smoked one cigarette after another without saying a word.
Li Yao, however, intended to break the silence. Of course, he was not going to dance.
This might be a good opportunity for him to get closer to Chu Zhixiao's heart. He could let him know what Chu Zhixiao was thinking. Did the leader of the Yaksha Squad, the woman who carried the destiny of the Goddess of Slaughter, know her past and … destiny?
Of course, even if she did, it would not be so simple.
There were no devices such as eavesdroppers or surveillance cameras in the room. They were not needed at all.
It was because Li Yao's spider tank carried tremendous data collection magical equipment that could transmit the voices and pictures incessantly to the mainframe crystal processor of the Heresy Inquisition or even to the ears of the Ultimate Benevolence Masters at a higher level.
Therefore, Li Yao had to interfere with the data collection mode of the spider tank and send out some fake voices and pictures to cover the real conversation between him and Chu Zhixiao.
The work took the mental devil ten minutes.
Then, he was finally able to have a mental clash with Chu Zhixiao without alarming anyone.
"Major …"
