Li Yao and the mental devil grabbed at the sand deep inside the ocean of data again.

Countless data leaked through their fingers like glittering sand.

They searched, deleted, eliminated, and reorganized. They changed the capture models of several kinds of big data and soon found the names of three people and their holograms.

It seems to be one of the three guys.

Li Yao stared at the three emotionless workers in the picture. “When Gao Huan was aroused, the three of them were on duty, but it was difficult to find their work videos. One of them must’ve been talking to Gao Huan!”

“Then, should I release the suspicious data?”

The mental devil asked, “Throw it out and let the ‘Seven Stars’ find it. Let them follow the traces of the puppet king.”

“Don’t. Smash and delete all the data we found just now. This time, delete it even more cleanly than the puppet king.”

Li Yao explained, “From the data scraps just now, it can be seen that, after Gao Huan’s most intense emotions were exploited, he was like a torch that had been burnt out. His memories were wiped out easily and sent to somewhere in the frontline as an ordinary soldier.

“The final battle between the Star Glory Federation and the Star Glory Federation has not begun yet. If he was lucky enough, he should still be alive right now. His beloved wife, ‘Jiang Xue’, might still be alive.

“If we send the data to the yaksha squad, it will be easier for them to trace the puppet king, but it is also very likely that they will discover Gao Huan’s existence. According to the style of the people of the Sanctuary Alliance, if they learn that the ‘Favorite Virus’ is based on Gao Huan’s love life, there is a

99% likelihood that they will dig out Gao Huan’s brain and dissect it for research.

“can’t let the people of the Star Glory Federation do that. I can’t let Gao Huan take such meaningless risks. His deep love for his wife makes him deserve a better future. He should run away from the Star Glory Federation with his wife and return to their hometown where they can live a peaceful yet happy

life!

“Therefore, just destroy all the data. Let’s go back to Chu Zhixiao and ask her to pay more attention to the three suspects.

“Now that we have more or less figured out the identity of the puppet king, it will not be difficult to find his claws and teeth—because we are very clear about the form of Lu Qingchen’s soul, the frequency of his brainwaves, and his methods of invasion. As long as we follow the map, we will definitely find

some traces!”

“AR”

“I didn’t know that you cared so much about the life and death of a minor character such as ‘Gao Huan’.

“Of course. That’s the biggest difference between us and Lu Qingchen!”

Li Yao smiled. “Lu Qingchen can regard anybody as a stepping stone, a sacrifice, a fuel, an ant, or a speck of dust. He can build a splendid road leading to the so-called ‘future of the civilization of mankind’ with the corpses of billions of ants. But I cannot do it. I will never be able to do it. In my heart, the

present is as important as the future. The life and happiness of a person are equally important as the future of mankind.

“As for Lu Qingchen and I, let history decide who is right and who is wrong. No matter what, I am already hundreds of years old. I will not change my mind!

In the blink of an eye, Li Yao’s soul became incomparably firm and sharp.

However, the next moment, he chuckled from the bottom of his heart.

“What are you laughing at?”

“Even though Lu Qingchen is indeed the puppet king, the power behind him has not been fully revealed yet,” the mental devil said. “The truth behind the Holy Alliance, Master Zhi Shan, and the gods is also shrouded in fog. We still don’t know where we are going to go, but you seem to be in a good mood.

“Of course, I’m in a good mood.

“Because of Gao Huan,” Li Yao said, “I’ve made one thing clear. At least in this regard, Lu Qingchen was not wrong. The emotions of human beings are truly the greatest forces in the universe. Even an ordinary low-level warrior such as Gao Huan, when his most intense love burst out, could still shake the

governing foundation of the entire Sanctuary and terrify the five supreme masters!

“If one Gao Huan can do such a thing, if thousands upon thousands of Gao Huan, thousands upon thousands of fellow human beings who are full of emotions can be awakened, how can the three great laws of origin be resisted?

“After making this point clear, I no longer have the slightest bit of doubt about the road ahead. Humanity will win. Humanity’s most sincere and intense emotions will win. Humanity’s most determined and tenacious will win. I firmly believe in this!

“Gao Huan, no matter where you are right now, no matter how many times you have been brainwashed, I believe that your deep love for your wife will never be erased! And the woman who can make you love her so much must be deeply in love with you, too, waiting for you to arrive in flames of war and

smoke!

“T swear that I will make your wish come true. I will rescue you and let you return to your hometown, to the real world!”

Deep inside Li Yao’s soul, the oath cut through the sky like a thunderclap and illuminated his brilliant fighting will.

He crushed alll the data related to Gao Huan and carefully erased all traces of his in-depth investigation.

Guan Qixing was still searching for the upper-level data on the surface. Naturally, he found nothing.

But right then, an earsplitting explosion took place in the front half of the temple, followed by a storm of gunshots. The ocean of data was immediately disrupted.

“Not good. Something has happened to the ‘Major..”

Guan Qixing sent an order to Li Yao, “Hurry and reinforce them!”

Li Yao was dazed for a moment. His sou! left the Spiritual Nexus and returned to the mainframe crystal processor of the spider tank. He felt feeble quakes all around him. The workers and low-level priests around him were all at a loss, but the gunshots in the front were getting more and more intense.

“Seven-star Red Pig!”

Chu Zhixiao shouted in the communication channel, “Come close to me!”

Li Yao and Guan Qixing rushed towards the palace without any hesitation. On the way, they leamed the situation from Chu Zhixiao.

Just now, Li Yao and Guan Qixing had been asked to check the data inside the mainframe crystal processor, while Chu Zhixiao, Yun Haixin, and Yuan Kou were responsible for questioning all the workers and priests.

‘Black Dream’ Yun Haixin was an experienced Meditation Healer. She seemed to have been engaged in the anti-spy work of interrogation and identification in the Imperium of True Human Beings. She could see through the anomaly of a member of the Star Glory Federation easily.

He interrogated more than ten workers in a row without any accidents. However, when he reached the second high priest, something happened. The high priest was hypnotized by ‘Black Dream’ Yun Haixin and did not have the chance to interrogate her before he kicked Yun Haixin away and ran away.

Then there was no way he could run away. There must be something wrong with this guy!

Chu Zhixiao and Yuan Kou’s pincer attack had been almost certain.

He didn’t expect that the priest would boast unexpected hypnotizing and illusionary techniques, too. It was very likely that he had been controlled by Wang Yuan, the puppet, and caused Chu Zhixiao and Yuan Kou to hallucinate for half a second so that they could crawl out of the gap between the two of

them and escape to the depths of the Psychic Temple.

The Psychic Temple was an asteroid fortress floating in the sea of stars. It was surrounded by a cold vacuum and a dark universe. There was nowhere to run to.

After the yaksha squad arrived, all the space ports were temporarily blocked. No starships were allowed to leave or enter.

Therefore, the priest should not have been able to run away.

But he or the puppet king behind him seemed to have realized that they had nowhere to run to. In a weird way, they detonated the ‘emotional bomb’ that had been lurking in the depths of the temple for a long time and blew up the Love Virus inside the brains of the captives of the Star Ocean Imperium

who were being brainwashed!

The captives of the Star Ocean Imperium who were lying in the metal cocoons did not erase their memories and self-awareness in the first place. Their heads were still filled with fear and hatred for the Sanctuary Alliance.

Right now, the puppet king was adding oil to the fire and pouring the hottest love on him. How could he not be crazy?

‘When Li Yao and Guan Qixing arrived at the temple, they saw a blood-freezing scene.

Inside the countless translucent metal cocoons, the hypnotizing and purifying drugs were boiling like magma. The ‘quasi-Sanctuary Alliance members’ who had been crouching inside quietly like babies were all struggling and roaring crazily, knocking the shells of the cocoons loudly.

Many strong captives of the Star Ocean Imperium had broken their shells and jumped off.

Their eyes were blood-red, and their faces were hideous, as if they were watching their beloved die miserably in front of their eyes. Their every pore was filled with venom-like hatred.

“Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue, you killed Jiang Xue!”

The human-shaped beasts, which were in a muddle-headed state between the citizens of the Star Ocean Imperium and those of the Star Glory Federation, roared in pain and fury and lunged at the team of Yaksha and the ordinary purifiers, cleaners, and workers nearby.

Confusion rippled out of Li Yao’s soul. A moment later, he realized that Lu Qingchen had come up with a lot of different ‘scripts’ targeting Gao Huan’s feelings, which could transform the most passionate love into the most intense hatred.

Although the yaksha squad was strong, there were too few of them after all. Faced with tens of thousands of human-shaped ferocious beasts whose eyes were red and who were shouting ‘Jiang Xue’ at the same time, they felt that it was quite tricky and did not dare to act rashly for fear of arousing the

other party’s more intense ferocity and hatred.

More importantly, the infected were not their targets at all. The fleeing priest was the key to finding the puppet king!

“Red Pig, seven-star, lock onto the priest!”

Surrounded, Chu Zhixiao shouted, “Don’t let him get away, and don’t let him kill himself! He is the only clue that leads us to the puppet king. Everything will be doomed if the clue is gone!

“Just now, Yuan Kou and I were both affected by his illusions. A mere priest does not have such an ability. The puppet king must be manipulating him from afar.. Let’s track him down and find the real puppet king!”
