Chapter 228: Chapter 129: A Powerful Spiritual Ability User? Sain’s Despair!

Sain’s eyes were empty, his brow slightly furrowed, vaguely feeling a tingling sensation in his brain, an old trouble of his that would recur when he was too fatigued.

It was said that the genetic injury left by the injection of substandard gene seeds was basically beyond hope of repair.

"If Lord Sain is feeling unwell, you can go to the back," a colleague behind him said without any courtesy.

Sain paused for a moment, managing to squeeze out a smile, "Alright."

He stepped aside, making room for another, but the colleague behind him showed no pity and quickly took his place, even bumping his shoulder in the process.

"Ah..." He sighed inwardly but did not take it to heart.

Youke had been killed, and he was the primary person responsible, not to mention the previous failure of the "Exchange Conference" plan, which had made him a sinner.

Many colleagues around him believed he had betrayed the interests of his own civilization to curry favor with Prince Bai Jiang and looked down on him for it.

He had contacted Prince Bai Jiang several times. The prince’s words were indifferent and showed no intention of supporting him; instead, he lamented Fu Zongchen’s death several times.

This further added to Sain’s inner misery. Just a few days ago, he even found that his bounty had been posted on the Black Hole Network.

This was no longer just about losing his position; his very life was in jeopardy. He could only try to make amends during this period.

Envoy leader Guyate had hinted at him several times to find a way to kill Li Ming, even suggesting a suicidal attack.

Of course, he was unwilling to trade his life for Li Ming’s.

And Li Ming, that cautious young man, always had Luo Chuan with him when he went out and spent his days in the laboratory—a strictly guarded area that was nearly impossible to infiltrate.

He had risked it several times but couldn’t find a breakthrough and even felt he was being subtly watched.

He lamented in his heart but also constantly contemplated other plans. The arrival of Duke Bai Ye presented an opportunity.

If he could leverage the duke’s power, there might be a chance for a comeback.

"Sain"

Just as he was pondering, a faint voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Who!" He looked up abruptly, his gaze sharp as he scanned his surroundings.

But this only brought the sneers of his colleagues, who told him to keep it down.

"Sain." The voice was clearer this time, and Sain’s sharp gaze slowly turned to astonishment.

The voice was speaking directly inside his head.

"Speak softly, I can hear you," the voice grew clearer, neutral, not betraying gender. freёwebnoѵel.com

Sain frowned but did not speak.

"Or write it on the smart terminal," the voice added.

Sain’s frown deepened, and he tentatively opened the smart terminal, typing a few words—’Who are you?’

"You don’t need to know who I am, just that I’m here to help you overcome your difficulties," the voice quickly responded.

Sain’s pupils constricted, somewhat aghast. Could they really see?

He couldn’t help but look around again; everyone passing by seemed suspicious yet not suspicious.

What kind of method was this? Had the person invaded the surveillance probes?

He cautiously covered the smart terminal and wrote again: "Overcome difficulties? I have no difficulties. Who are you, exactly?"

"You can lie to me but don’t lie to yourself," the voice faintly carried a smile:

"You’ve been dismissed from your post and put up for a bounty. If it weren’t for the fact the envoy has not returned, you would already be a prisoner."

To see, how was that possible!

Sain felt a chill in his heart. He had carefully covered the smart terminal; the surveillance probes couldn’t possibly see.

Somehow, he felt like his entire being was exposed to someone’s gaze, leaving no secrets hidden.

"Are you a superpower user? A spiritual ability user?" Sain guessed, and the voice seemed hesitant before responding.

"No wonder Prince Bai Jiang took an interest in you, you’re somewhat clever."

He guessed right, but Sain didn’t relax in the slightest, instead more wary. Superpower users were not rare, but spiritual ability users certainly were.

He suspected this was some kind of spiritual realm, with his whole person exposed to the other’s observation.

He had experienced it once before but, being a C-grade life form, he was quite aware of it, as if an invisible film was wrapped around his skin’s surface, which felt quite awkward.

But this time, he felt nothing at all. The other party’s level of superpower development must be extremely high to possess such strength.

Stunned, aren’t you?

Li Ming, hidden in the shadows, sat in a chair, using the power of the "Anti-interference Communicator," a gadget obtained on Silver Grey Star.

He had upgraded it to D-level, and its ability, "Mind Communication," enabled him to converse with any life form within 1000 meters.

"What’s your purpose?" Sain asked tensely, his mind also becoming more agile.

For a superpower user of such a level to approach him, the purpose surely wasn’t simple.

"I want to kill Li Ming, and you want to kill him too, so we can work together," the voice said straightforwardly. Sain appeared surprised, his expression froze, then he exhaled and asked, "Work together? Can’t you do it yourself, with such a powerful spiritual realm?"

"My ability is not lethal. To kill someone, I must be within one meter of them, and if I get that close, everyone becomes a suspect once the person dies."

Superpowers were diverse, and it was normal for some to lack lethality.

Sain didn’t doubt this but was curious about where the other person came from.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Why do you want to kill Li Ming?"

"There are many reasons. You could ask endlessly, or you could work with me. Don’t waste time," the voice said.

Sain frowned, "How do we cooperate?"

"I’ll provide the power, you provide the people, each with our own role," the voice suggested.
