However calm Li Yao’s soul was, he could not help but be greatly shocked. He could not have been more furious. His strength was about to explode like a supernova and crush the evil devil’s den!
“Don’t be rash. A little impatience will spoil great plans!”
The mental devil’s voice came from the depths of his soul and helped him suppress his soaring fighting will. “As a extraterrestrial devil, I hate the inhumane slaughterhouse more than you do, because I’m the source of my strength based on the emotions and desires of human beings. But it’s useless to be
angry right now. It will only make things worse.
“Let’s not talk about whether or not we can destroy the temple by ourselves. Even if we can, what can we do about the thousands of people imprisoned here? They are still trapped in the depths of the Sanctuary. Nobody can rescue them.
“That’s true, but we can’t just ignore it.
Li Yao asked, “In your opinion, what should we do?”
“On the shuttle just now, we have grasped the precise coordinates of this place. As long as we have the opportunity to send the coordinates back to the imperium and the federation, we will have the opportunity to send an army to this place and wipe out the entire Golden Lion Sector.
“More importantly,” the mental devil said, “with the help of the investigation of the puppet king, we will be granted the highest clearance of the mainframe crystal processor of the Psychic Temple. We will be able to see how the brainwashing process works clearly. We will even have the opportunity to
plant ‘backdoors’ in the system so that we can coordinate with the Star Ocean Imperium or the federal fleet when they assault the place.
“After all, we are not only trying to restore the feelings and desires of the people of the Golden Lion Sector, but we are also trying to restore everyone in the entire Sanctuary, aren’t we?
Li Yao had to admit that the mental devil was right.
He tried to control his boiling soul and followed Chu Zhixiao to the mainframe crystal processor of the Psychic Temple.
Chu Zhixiao divided the members of the yaksha squad into two groups. She took Yuan Kou and Yun Haixin to investigate, interrogate the workers and the high priests, and Guan Qixing took Li Yao, the spider tank, to look for the traces left in the mainframe crystal processor and try to find traces of the
puppet king from the data.
This was exactly what Li Yao wanted.
They saw the super crystal processor system from hundreds of thousands of years ago deep inside the temple.
The appearance of the crystal processor array was different from the crystal processors that Li Yao had seen in the Gold Crystal Tower. At first glance, it looked like a pile of enormous, rusted internal organs made of metal. Complicated tubes were tied up among the internal organs, from which liquids of
various colors were flowing nonstop.
It was not hard to guess that the thirteen carbon-based intelligent creatures of the Pangu Civilization Alliance all had their own crystal processor technology. The super crystal processor inside the Gold Crystal Tower that looked like a giant tree was a product of the Houyi Clan, and the crystal processor
system that looked like a metal organ was the crystal of the Pangu Clan, wasn’t it?
However, no matter how different they looked, after hundreds of thousands of years of integration, the internal computational logic and operating system of the crystal processors of the Pangu Clan and the Houyi Clan were very similar. They were all based on the ‘Fuxi System.
Li Yao had deeply deciphered the mysteries of the super crystal processors of the Houyi Clan in the Gold Crystal Tower. Naturally, his understanding about the super crystal processors of the Pangu Clan far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Besides, the mental devil had absorbed all of Professor Mo Xuan’s knowledge and turned into an information life form that was equal to Xiao Ming, Wen Wen, and the Fist King. Once it was sent into the world of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus, it would be like a fish in water that could roam
freely anywhere.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The three high priests in bright gold robes entered their fingerprint, iris, blood, and brainwave passwords. After inputting a series of complicated runes, the control panel of the mainframe crystal processor popped up from the internal organs of the metal. Li Yao and Guan Qixing inserted several thick
crystal cables into them respectively.
Ina moment, the real world dimmed and perished in front of them, replaced by a virtual world of data. Endless information, a new world made of interconnected, complicated information highways and enormous memory chips!
Li Yao and the demon soldier went in two directions, one in the light and the other in the darkness.
On the surface, he listened to Guan Qixing’s arrangements and, under Guan Qixing’s comman4, collected the surveillance videos of the past ten days as well as any data related to ‘Gao Huan’.
In secret, the mental devil sank into the mainframe crystal processor and absorbed a lot of data quietly, giving it a more comprehensive understanding of the structure of the Psychic Temple.
As it tumed out, the main palace they saw just now was just the most basic brainwashing facilities that were designed to produce ‘soldier bees’ and ‘worker bees’.
Once the system discovered that the brainwashed person was relatively strong or that there was something special about their soul, they would be transported to the depths of the Psychic Temple together with the metal cocoon for targeted modification.
Many special professionals, powerful soldiers, and high-level commanders were refined in such a way. They cleansed their brains and strengthened their bodies, including the injection of various strengthening drugs, the awakening of primeval cells, the transplantation of artificial organs, and so on.
There were twenty to thirty procedures in total. Those who could survive more than ten procedures would become killing machines that could compete with the Core Formation Stage Cultivators of the imperium on the battlefield.
The meditation chamber in the deepest part of the Psychic Temple, on the other hand, was designed for the brainwashing of the Kindest Beings. Naturally, it boasted the most advanced facilities and the least side effects, but it could still trigger the strength deep inside the body to the greatest extent.
Of course, if the puppet king could infiltrate the meditation room and inject some vicious ‘poison’ into the brainwashing process against the Kind Ones, it was very likely that a lot of the management posts of the Kind Ones would be corrupted.
After scanning the entire system, Li Yao and the mental devil were gathered again.
Now, it was time to dig out the puppet king’s tail!
“Guan Qixing searched for a long time but found nothing.
Li Yao said, “He checked the data of all the surveillance videos inside the Psychic Temple over the past three months and found nothing wrong.
“Of course.”
“If the puppet king has the ability to corrupt and manipulate the Spiritual Nexus that is equal to or even better than ours,” the mental devil said, “even if he has done something wrong, he will certainly erase all the traces that he left behind, including the surveillance videos that might be exposed.
Li Yao asked, “Then what should we do?”
“Naturally, I went to look for the deleted and overwritten data.
“One question,” the mental devil said. “Why do you think the puppet king is looking for ‘Gao Huan’? With his emotions as his weapon, is ‘Gao Huan’ really someone else? Is he different from the rest of the world, or was he chosen by the puppet king randomly?”
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, “I think that there is someone else named ‘Gao Huan’, and he should be different from the rest of us. Maybe it was because his feelings for his wife were too intense that he was chosen by the puppet king to be the source of the virus.
“Yes, exactly as I thought.”
The mental devil replied, “I think so, too. ‘Gao Huan’ is a soldier from the Star Ocean Imperium who was captured and sent here not long ago.
“If so, the puppet king must have discovered his uniqueness in a certain way and even had deep interactions with him in order to extract his emotions and refine the brain virus, right?”
Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, “Fair enough. Therefore, Gao Huan must’ve left some sort of distinctive traces, and the puppet king must’ve communicated with him before. The traces and the communication couldn’t have disappeared without a trace. Even if they were deleted, the pieces would’ve
been left behind.
“It’s true that nobody can delete anything in the Spiritual Nexus. As long as one has enough computational ability and grasp the correct computational logic, everything will be restored!
The mental devil smiled. “If Gao Huan is really a captive from the Deep Earth Sector and Black Castle, he shouldn’t have been sent to this place for long, All we need to do is find the files of the past month.”
“But—”
Li Yao said, “It’s a simple deduction. If we can figure it out, Guan Qixing definitely can. Why can’t he restore the deleted pieces, but we can?”
“Well…”
“Firstly, I’m afraid that our ability to absorb and analyze data is slightly higher than Guan Qixing’s,” the mental devil said confidently. “More importantly, I can vaguely sense that the puppet king shares the same origin as us. He is like… a senior brother of the same sect. I can smell his scent and guess how
he corrupted the Spiritual Nexus and deleted the data. It’s quite odd, isn’t it? But this is my first feeling.
“Senior and junior brothers?”
Li Yao did not understand what the mental devil meant, but his soul was emitting glittering pieces. When he was about to connect the pieces and find a conclusion, the mental devil had already jumped into the depths of the ocean of data with his soul again.
Like two tangled fish swimming in a glittering ocean, they avoided the venomous jellyfish and the deadly hunters nearby and gradually approached the bottom of the ocean, crawling into the sand on the seabed.
In the seemingly dark sand, countless remains of plankton, small fish, and shrimps were buried. However, all the remains were too fragile to be touched.
Only the computational ability of Li Yao and the mental devil, as well as the mysterious connection between them and the puppet king, could allow them to smell the information that was about to be obliterated in the billions of data pieces and restore the data about ‘Gao Huan’ and the puppet king bit by
bit like a 3D puzzle castle.
Li Yao could feel that, in the upper level of the ocean of data, Guan Qixing’s soul was like a Seven Star Sea Eel, anxiously swimming and opening its bloody mouth to filter the ‘sea water’, trying to find an answer—he was still far from it!
From the depths of the sand came the cheerful waves of the mental devil.. “Found it!”
