Chapter 1012: Chapter 290: The Mastermind, The Greed of the 5th Legion_3
Chen Ming was just about to ask Thousand Faces beside him.
But suddenly he realized the scene before him was once again having issues.
Looking forward, now there was just a complete glitch.
Everyone, including the young Thousand Faces and the person in the shadows, had disappeared, leaving only Thousand Faces standing by his side.
What’s going on?
Chen Ming looked at Thousand Faces.
He saw a face with the remnants of Thousand Faces’ consciousness, showing agony, hatred, despair, anger, and many other intensely negative emotions.
And these complex emotions eventually distilled into one.
Resentment.
The remaining consciousness of Thousand Faces felt that its end was near.
The Space Station constructed by Chen Ming’s Spiritual Power could no longer continue to protect him.
So he moved.
He walked into the chaotic glitch with a heart full of resentment.
Where he passed, everything returned to its original state, except the people who were supposed to be there had vanished.
He walked to the desk but didn’t sit in the position where his younger self had just been sitting.
Instead, he sat in the place of the person in the shadow.
He looked at Chen Ming.
Just at the moment everything was about to end, when the environment around was completely distorted and blurred.
Thousand Faces’ face changed.
In the midst of chaos, Chen Ming could barely make out a face.
A face that appeared in its forties or fifties, unremarkable.
But his eyes were deep and captivating.
As if they contained everything.
Subsequently, the consciousness of Thousand Faces completely dissipated.
The last trace of existence in this world vanished.
Leaving only Chen Ming alone in this dark, void Consciousness Space.
Chen Ming didn’t rush to exit but carefully recalled the events that had just happened.
Before, Thousand Faces was rambling, just a dying... already dead person recounting his untellable past, venting.
The key was in the final scene.
Though it was only a fleeting glimpse, Chen Ming had already etched that face into his mind.
This face, it must be the face of Zuo Jing’s Mind Control Psychic.
And that final scene was deliberately imitated by Thousand Faces.
Chen Ming roughly understood what had happened to Thousand Faces after joining Zuo Jing, he also understood Thousand Faces’ intention.
The answer was actually quite simple.
Thousand Faces was brainwashed.
Initially, he was a Psychic who had just awakened Spiritual Energy, and inexperienced.
Upon investigating Zuo Jing’s issues, he chose to join Zuo Jing.
Thousand Faces’ original intent in joining Zuo Jing was definitely to eliminate Zuo Jing, but after joining, he gradually became complicit with Zuo Jing.
Evidently because Thousand Faces had bad luck.
He was purely brainwashed, his thoughts gradually altered.
Changing to satisfy malicious thoughts he had long repressed deep within him, thoughts that might never have surfaced in his lifetime.
Such a person who emerged from extreme environments, after gaining power, instead of wantonly venting, only resisted those who caused him pain and was even willing to repay debts to those who he owed.
Indicating he still maintained a stable mindset, a desire for revenge, and tolerance towards civilians, he was a normal person.
Such a person, after joining Zuo Jing, became a complete madman.
The main culprit for all this could only be Zuo Jing’s Mind Control Psychic.
The face formed by the remnants of Thousand Faces’ consciousness left a profound impression on Chen Ming.
He must find this person and resolve it.
At this very moment, deep underground.
Unfortunately, there were two questions Chen Ming hadn’t had the chance to ask.
How did the Mind Breaking Entity that Thousand Faces became actually die, and why did Thousand Faces call him a monster.
A dying person’s words are kind.
Chen Ming could feel that nothing Thousand Faces said before was a lie. After his remaining consciousness was no longer being controlled, he had already been passing along messages about Zuo Jing to Chen Ming, which could likely answer these questions.
But Chen Ming truly didn’t expect Thousand Faces’ consciousness to dissipate so quickly.
If he’d known, he wouldn’t have given him the chance to say nonsense.
Forget it, it’s not a big problem.
These are matters concerning himself, he would understand them sooner or later.
Chen Ming exited the Consciousness Space constructed of his Spiritual Power and the remnants of Thousand Faces’ consciousness, supported by him.
Upon realizing he was back underground at the Power Supply Tower, he took a deep breath.
Plasma began to condense again on his fist.
The enemies had already been cleared, so next, it should be the end.
But at this moment, his mind was still occupied with thoughts of Thousand Faces.
From Chen Ming’s perspective, Thousand Faces, at least before joining Zuo Jing and being brainwashed, was indeed a good person, even sharing similar values with him on some matters.
During that time, Thousand Faces hadn’t done anything outrageous, and only actively killed those who perpetrated domestic violence against him, his own father, and those who saw him as young and wealthy, intending harm.
It’s a pity that with rashly investigating Zuo Jing and joining Zuo Jing, everything changed.
It was all due to Zuo Jing’s Mind Control Psychic that it turned out this way.
A bit unfortunate.
Someone like Thousand Faces, had he been noticed earlier, might very possibly have been absorbed into a local government department.
After all, his actions before couldn’t be considered true evil.
Of course, if it were the current Thousand Faces still alive, Chen Ming certainly wouldn’t let him continue living.
The current Thousand Faces is definitely a thorough villain.
