Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station
Chapter 859 - 252: Fear Arises
"This is messed up!"
At the moment Chen Ming saw the scene, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear rise within him, but he quickly suppressed this emotion.
He immediately created a thin layer of nearly transparent metallic liquid as a protective film on himself and several people around him.
Letting the blood mist and fragments from the corpse only cover the rear half of the shuttle boat.
But the terrifying scene indeed reached everyone’s eyes, especially the shuttle boat pilot at the front, who had never seen such a scene and kept exclaiming.
At this time, Chen Ming didn’t care about the specifics of the situation. To prevent anyone on the shuttle boat from having issues or doing anything irrational, he stood up and directly took control of the shuttle boat using Spiritual Energy, cutting off all external communication.
He controlled everyone except Bai Quan and He Gu, making them all stay in their seats.
After controlling the situation, Chen Ming once again experienced the feeling in his heart, that fear.
Although the feeling was more distinct at the moment the flesh exploded, now Chen Ming could still sense the fear from the unknown in the entire environment.
The source of this fear was incredibly familiar, causing a few drops of sweat to trickle down his forehead.
Fortunately, Chen Ming did not sense any danger, at least for now he could still calm down quickly.
He Gu stood up following Chen Ming, with some Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from him.
He squeezed through Chen Ming’s protective film, stepping into the area of the shuttle boat covered with exploded flesh.
He Gu walked to Lou Wei’s exploded seat, squatting down to observe.
He was protected by a layer of Spiritual Shield all over, not directly contacting the surrounding flesh.
After watching for a while, he suddenly turned his head and said to the people behind him: "He exploded from the inside out; there must be a bomb inside him, otherwise it wouldn’t have this effect."
"But I didn’t see any explosion traces on the remains here."
"Not a bomb?"
Bai Quan stood before the metallic liquid membrane isolating Chen Ming, asking this question.
He did not recklessly pass through the metal film, after all, he wasn’t protected by a Spiritual Shield like He Gu, who knows if Lou Wei’s sudden explosion is carrying any subsequent dangers.
And he couldn’t pass through it.
Before He Gu answered, Chen Ming suddenly interrupted: "I can be certain it’s definitely not a bomb, there are no explosive remnants on the whole shuttle boat, only fragments of his body tissue."
He Gu nodded to Chen Ming, lowered his head again, and looked at Lou Wei’s seat.
Meanwhile, he took out a pair of disposable gloves from the pocket of his white coat and put them on, starting to manipulate the flesh on the ground.
"There are no Spiritual Energy fluctuations remaining, no similar objects, nor can the source of the explosion’s energy be discerned."
He Gu spoke, raising his head again to look at the trajectory of blood and flesh splatter on the nearby walls and ceiling.
"But the power of this explosion is not small. What did Zuo Jing use to achieve this scale?"
Bai Quan asked: "Are you sure it’s Zuo Jing? Just because he believed in Zuo Jing, there would be such an effect?"
"Can’t be one hundred percent sure, but judging by his behavior before he died, it’s definitely related to Zuo Jing."
"Wait a minute."
Major General Song, who was tied to the chair, could still move his mouth despite being immobile.
He interrupted the conversation to inquire: "Didn’t you say there were no Spiritual Energy fluctuations on him? Does that mean this wasn’t done by a Psychic? If not by Zuo Jing’s Psykers, then what could it be?"
By this time, Chen Ming had adjusted his emotions, showing no visible traces of being affected by the scene just now.
He explained: "It’s not like that. In fact, I have no Spiritual Energy fluctuations on me right now, but that doesn’t mean I am not a Psychic, and the things I apply my Spiritual Energy to also have no Spiritual Energy fluctuations with my current state."
"The fact that Lou Wei’s body has no Spiritual Energy fluctuations only means there are no remaining fluctuations here; it doesn’t indicate it wasn’t done by a Psychic."
"Zuo Jing definitely has someone with a special Spiritual Energy effect, or something."
As Chen Ming said this, an image suddenly flashed in his mind of a figure with exposed flesh and a grotesque, twisted heart.
"But I wonder, was it passive or active?"
"Was he passively blown up by Zuo Jing, or did he actively explode?"
Major General Song continued to ask: "What’s the difference?"
"The difference is, the former could be a coercive means by Zuo Jing, while the latter might be him actively believing in Zuo Jing and cooperating to achieve bodily self-detonation."
Chen Ming looked at Major General Song and asked: "Has Lou Wei recently been in contact with Zuo Jing?"
Major General Song immediately said: "If you insist on saying, yes, earlier, with you and Vice Admiral Bai being assassinated, contact with Zuo Jing was inevitable when the investigation was launched; we have all had contact."
Chen Ming nodded to him and said: "Then I’m more inclined toward the latter."
"Because, if it’s the former, the investigation department would certainly not have missed clues during their investigation, and today, he wouldn’t be the only one meant to explode."
"Additionally, just before the explosion, he was reciting Zuo Jing’s doctrine, remember the tone and feeling when he spoke of the doctrine?"
"When did he get preached to?"
