Chapter 700: 211. Hu Yi_3
"How did he get here?"
Bai Quan raised the terminal, which displayed a personâs identity record.
"A researcher from an agency we collaborate with, who had voluntarily applied to come to the Gallo Star Realm, was replaced by him. Other than the photograph looking similar to him, all other information is fake."
"Iâll ensure stricter management in this area so that it wonât happen again next time."
It turned out Hu Yi had come to the Fourteenth Legion this way, no wonder Bai Quan said he was disgraceful.
Chen Ming glanced at the appearance of the person on the terminal, committing it to memory, and then said to Bai Quan, "I have two questions."
"Go ahead."
"Why doesnât Hu Yi directly create a volcano right under the domeâs center?"
Bai Quan pointed beneath his feet and said, "Directly below the dome, there are passive detection devices that can track the direction of magma beneath."
"If he creates a volcano directly beneath, it will be detected early. The time it takes for underground magma to accumulate is enough to evacuate everyone from the dome."
"Distancing it a bit so the equipment canât precisely detect it, until the volcano surfaces and is found out, is the best way to attack the dome."
Chen Ming knew about the detection equipment when controlling the dome and was now just confirming with Bai Quan.
"Then why only four volcanoes? Someone like him, a Psychic who can hold off Wu Lao Banâs Psychic, why only this extent?"
Bai Quan explained again, "Because this is the Fourteenth Legion, Hu Yi canât excessively use Spiritual Energy, or heâll be discovered quickly."
"We also have Psychics here, combat-type Psychics; if it gets serious, he canât escape."
"Moreover, if he caused large-scale casualties to our Legion, heâd be hunted massively by the entire Empire."
"You know what our Fourteenth Legion is doing now."
Chen Ming paused and said, "But since youâve said this, Hu Yi should have already fled."
Bai Quanâs face darkened instantly and admitted, "Yes, he brought another Psychic to assist him. When we found him, he fled directly, disappearing into a Black Mist."
"Black Mist? What kind of Psychic?"
"Retreat couldnât tell, it was definitely a Psychic whoâd never been registered, a civilian Psychic."
Psyshics arenât all willing to be constrained by the Empire.
Everyone has diverse thoughts.
Some Psychics, willing to be governed by the Empire, have long voluntarily joined the government or military.
Others want to join forces for the benefits only obtainable by joining but donât want to join the government or military, so they seek to join forces within the Empire.
For instance, various companies and research institutes welcome Psychics joining them.
Of course, some Psychics donât want to participate in government, military, or internal company matters at all.
They can choose to join loose organizations like the Spiritual Ability Association.
Some donât want to join anything.
The Empire doesnât force these people either; as long as they register, theyâre left alone, causing no trouble, and no one pays much attention.
Unless a Psychic like Chen Ming, whose Spiritual Energy abilities are unique and indispensable, would always draw the Empireâs attention.
There are also Psychics who thoroughly reject any control.
They remain hidden in certain places within the Empire, not exposed to anyoneâs sight.
So itâs not impossible for a Psychic with near-teleportation abilities to suddenly appear.
Hu Yi is at least a veteran Psychic, and itâs not surprising for someone like this to appear in his network.
"So why has he come suddenly? Revenge? I havenât even troubled him yet; heâs come seeking me?"
"I remember he was previously employed by the Battle Zone officials; I never directly faced him, only killed Yan Xiong. Was he on good terms with Yan Xiong?"
Bai Quan recalled and said, "Iâve never heard of such a thing,"
"I slightly monitored Hu Yi for a while because of you."
"After the last incident, someone from the Battle Zoneâs top brass got in trouble; he shouldnât have surfaced."
"Moreover, I heard the original intent from above was not to care about Yan Xiong, after all, his relationship with the Battle Zone was essentially a hire."
"All Hu Yi did was wander around the Star System, stop Wu An, and even your Association couldnât pinpoint problems; after all, the move wasnât from the Association."
"This is a dispute among Psychics, and the Empire wonât intervene as long as it doesnât affect other ordinary people."
Chen Ming caught the keyword in Bai Quanâs words and said, "Since you said it was supposed to be."
"Yeah, later, I donât know who put an insignificant bounty on him."
"You donât know who?"
"Right, canât trace back,"
"Initially, you and he only had implicit conflict, but someone made it public."
"And typical bounties like this are usually ignored, but Yan Xiong indeed disappeared after that incident."
"Didnât expect it to surface under such circumstances now."
Chen Ming furrowed his brows and asked, "Why do you think heâd act now? Offending me is one thing, he already did that long ago, but acting on your Fourteenth Legionâs turf, isnât he courting death?"
"Maybe he thinks that now youâve joined our Fourteenth Legion, thereâll be no chance in the future? He wants to strike before you receive full protection and before you grow, to eliminate you?"
