Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 947 - 274: Inducement (Part 2)

Chen Ming didn’t understand it at first, but he immediately realized this was a good opportunity.

His gaze became more ferocious, and he growled in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

Chen Ming’s tone grew increasingly vicious, as if he had been hit where it hurt.

A faint smile appeared on the face of the Glass Bead Spirit Ability User, silently crushing a glass bead in his pocket, within it a vortex-like entity that unsettled the mind, as if staring at it for too long would make one completely sink into it.

A suggestive remark came from his mouth, "You actually don’t care about the lives of those ordinary people on the Space Station; you just want to satisfy your own desires."

"You call someone directly, completely disregarding the aftermath. To you, those ordinary people are insignificant, what matters is yourself."

"I agree with you on this point; you indeed shouldn’t care about ordinary people. They are just a weak group, Psychics are the future."

"..."

Chen Ming paused for a moment.

Because honestly, the first two statements were indeed true for him.

But this isn’t a thought limited to Psychics, but a thought any normal person could have.

Preserving oneself, not actively doing things that shouldn’t be done by oneself.

Under such a premise, Chen Ming also believes that some people are indeed willing to sacrifice for others, and he respects them, but he’s not one of those people.

Therefore, he just casually passed the information to the Anti-Cult Bureau and carried out some basic protective measures within his abilities.

Only Uncle Mao he personally went to rescue, because Uncle Mao had helped him before.

As for the third statement, Chen Ming completely disagreed with it.

Psychics are a rare group based on the Empire’s massive population; without ordinary people, there wouldn’t be as many Psychics.

Moreover, there are many ordinary scholars in the Empire conducting more in-depth research into Spiritual Energy than the Psychics.

Saying Psychics don’t need to care about ordinary people is absolutely wrong.

This is a belief Chen Ming has always firmly held.

Of course, this isn’t the point; the point is Zuo Jing seems to have a pretty deep misunderstanding of him.

Clearly, Chen Ming was using An Wuping to vent his dissatisfaction towards Zuo Jing, but Zuo Jing seemed to interpret his actions entirely differently.

However, this indirectly shows that Zuo Jing doesn’t have many informants in the Audan Star Realm’s Anti-Cult Bureau, otherwise, he could’ve known about the video of him rescuing Uncle Mao, and wouldn’t have misunderstood him like this.

But the enemy’s misunderstanding might be a good thing.

This Glass Bead Spirit Ability User definitely came with malicious intentions, because Chen Ming noticed his small gesture with the hand in his pocket.

The Glass Bead Spirit Ability User didn’t realize his identity had been seen through by Chen Ming, and still continued with a ’been there, done that’ demeanor, saying to Chen Ming, "These problems are not problems for us; we can help you, help you kill at will."

The words of the Glass Bead Spirit Ability User were very persuasive, guiding Chen Ming in the direction of releasing his frenzy during episodes of rage.

Chen Ming simply went along with this suggestion, displaying a bit of irritability.

"Zuo Jing?"

"Why should I?"

"Are you even worthy?"

He rapidly expressed these three sentences, appearing to be in a state of intense emotion while thinking.

The Glass Bead Spirit Ability User confidently said, "Because after all these years, we still haven’t been eradicated."

"Zuo Jing is a cult, every person in a cult is a criminal. As a Psychic, killing these people at will is no problem. What have ordinary people done? Why should I kill ordinary people? Does that benefit me?"

"Let me ask you a question," the Glass Bead Spirit Ability User said, "If one day, your frenzy becomes serious, and there’s no Zuo Jing nearby, no lawbreakers, what would you do?"

"Wait to die? Wait for the frenzy to completely overtake your brain? Turn you into a complete monster? Or go kill some civilians to quell your fury?"

"You kill Zuo Jing merely because they’re within your reachable range and their identity provides a bit of psychological comfort."

"If it’s really impossible, would you really not kill those ordinary people?"

"..."

Chen Ming actually didn’t have frenzy, but if such a situation really occurred, he couldn’t confidently say what he would do.

And this reaction just fit An Wuping’s current situation, so Chen Ming went silent, saying nothing.

"Looks like you also know what a sick person would actually do."

The Glass Bead Spirit Ability User crushed another glass bead in his pocket, just like before, and said, "It’s not your own thoughts that are the problem, it’s a physiological issue you can never control."

"Even if you can still find some Zuo Jing to kill, what about in the future? You can only, during a frenzy episode, turn your claws and fangs towards the ordinary people you previously pretended not to kill, and get targeted by the Empire."

"Instead of facing two enemies in the future, why not turn one enemy into a friend now?"

Chen Ming noticed another subtle gesture by the Glass Bead Spirit Ability User, along with an extremely faint, vaguely familiar Spiritual Energy Fluctuation surrounding him, and he already knew what this guy wanted to do.
