The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 198 Little Secret

How could Jiang Hui not know? She thought for a moment and said, "No, but it's no different from that. The sound of your spiritual energy exchanging was very clear; I can still hear the noise in my ears."

Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian had been communicating through two-way mental energy transmission all the way, so only the two of them should have been able to hear it. How did Jiang Hui "hear" it? So he subconsciously assumed that he was not skilled in mental energy transmission and accidentally transmitted it to Jiang Hui.

"You can hear what we're saying?" This time, Huan Xian was surprised; he seemed somewhat incredulous.

"I didn't hear the content." Jiang Hui shook his head: "It was just a lot of background noise."

Upon hearing the answer, Huan Xian was unsure whether he was somewhat disappointed or surprised by the unexpected response; in any case, his feelings were complicated.

The transmission of spiritual power is not through sound, but through the ability to transform thoughts into spiritual magnetic waves and transmit them into another person's brain, achieving true synesthetic communication. Only a very small number of awakened individuals possess this ability, and these awakened individuals can be considered natural-born commanders.

So that's not sound at all, but magnetic waves, which are energy wavelengths that the ear simply cannot detect.

Therefore, the only thing Jiang Hui could have captured was the mental magnetic waveband.

But she also said she didn't hear the content... so it's impossible for her to be like him. It seems there aren't many oddballs like him in this world. But it's probably for the best, otherwise this Jiang student, who is so trusted by her friends, would probably have suffered a similar miserable situation.

As for Jiang Hui's situation, it should be related to her mental strength level. When he transmitted instructions to her earlier, he felt that the barrier's resistance was exceptionally strong. Only extremely high-level mental awakeners would experience such a situation. However, given her untrained mental state, how could she possibly have the sensitivity to detect energy as subtle as mental magnetic waves?

Unaware of the shock in the other person's heart, Jiang Hui said, "How should I put it? It doesn't sound like an ordinary sound. It's more like a slightly vibrating 'buzzing' sound, intermittent."

At first, she thought the tunnel was about to pull some new trick or an enemy attack, and she was quite startled. But then she realized that the two pairs of creatures floating behind her were like real corpses, one quieter than the other, as still as mountains.

Jiang Hui found it strange; could it be that she was the only one who heard it?
She was also struggling to swim and lacked energy, and didn't want to startle the two people who were still trying to adapt to the water, so she patiently listened for a while longer. She discovered that the sound wasn't coming from anywhere else, but seemed to be coming from behind... right from the two teammates he was with.

Rather, it wasn't a single, specific sound, but rather a series of sounds coming from opposite directions. It was like the rising and falling tones of human speech; although there was no specific content, she could clearly feel the strange connection between the two.

Are these two... talking? Is it a mental transmission?

Then Jiang Hui took the opportunity to observe for a while and finally confirmed that the two were indeed transmitting mental energy.

It turns out the two of them were just whispering to each other, so it's fine as long as it's not some unknown danger.

Jiang Hui was wondering how long Huan Xian could hold on in such a terrible mental state. He thought that if Zhou Xiuwen could talk to him, it might distract him a bit.

What these two guys who haven't known each other for long would talk about was not Jiang Hui's concern. After all, is it strange that two brothers who have never met want to get to know each other? They are already in a cooperative relationship, and mutual trust is the foundation of cooperation. Jiang Hui didn't have that much curiosity.

Besides, if these two really had a problem during their conversation, wouldn't they tell her in the end? If they didn't tell her, it's probably because they didn't reach a conclusion or there was no need to tell her. Jiang Hui trusted both of them completely and didn't see anything wrong with them talking behind her back. She was even quite happy to see two teammates she wasn't very familiar with actively communicating with each other.

She only remembered that Zhou Xiuwen had said that using this would consume more mental energy than usual. Although she still didn't quite understand what this thing called 'mental energy conduction' was, it didn't prevent her from understanding it literally.

It's likely that these two inevitably expended a lot of mental energy along the way, so this mental energy replenishment is naturally more needed by them. Jiang Hui has always believed that 'resources should be allocated rationally to maximize the team's combat effectiveness,' and that it's pointless to be greedy for meaningless people or things.

As for herself... she really didn't need it that much. To her shame, she had just come out of the mental space not long ago after eating and drinking her fill. Although the replenishment points had been depleted during this period, she was still much better off than her teammates who hadn't had a break for more than ten stars.

"Alright, stop passing the buck. I really don't need it, and it's not like I'm using that much mental energy. You two should take it easy; once your mental energy is depleted, it won't be a short time. There's no one around here, so if you want to talk about something that doesn't need to be kept secret, just say it. Why waste mental energy on transmission?" Jiang Hui suggested practically.

Neither of them could persuade Jiang Hui otherwise, and seeing his resolute attitude, they had no choice but to accept the gifts themselves, lest they end up throwing them into the water while pushing them back and forth.

Upon hearing Jiang Hui's words, Huan Xian's hand, which was gripping two vials of mental energy replenishment, stiffened. He pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing.

Zhou Xiuwen replied, "I noticed that Huan was very tense, and it seemed to help him a bit by communicating with him mentally, so I was trying to distract him. I was planning to do it quietly, but I didn't expect you to hear me..."

"The sound wasn't actually that loud, but it was still a bit noticeable. Fine, you can decide for yourselves. Pay attention to your mental state, or I won't be dragging you along," Jiang Hui threatened, raising an eyebrow.

Jiang Hui was chatting with Zhou Xiuwen with her head turned to the side, so she naturally didn't see the slightly complicated expression on Huan Xian's face behind her.

The boy naturally noticed the expression on his unfamiliar teammate's face, but showed no change in expression and continued chatting with Jiang Hui as if nothing had happened.

Actually, he didn't quite understand Huan Xian's concerns. What was so hard to say? It was just a rather special talent; there was nothing scary about it.

This student, Huan, is far too sensitive; he wasn't scared at all... Well, he might have been slightly startled at the beginning, before he understood what was going on.

Zhou Xiuwen was both curious and amazed by Huan Xian's talent.

Although they are currently facing some difficulties for various reasons, this is only temporary. Zhou Xiuwen believes that if they can continue to cooperate in the future, the other party's talent will definitely become a strong asset to their group.

As for why Zhou Xiuwen didn't tell Jiang Hui directly, it's because the current situation is already complicated enough, and Jiang Hui is already exhausted... Even though she has always seemed to be handling things with ease, Zhou Xiuwen didn't want to add any more trouble to her at this critical moment.

Since he can now barely help Huan Xian through this difficult time, let him do it. It's not possible for Jiang Hui to bear everything alone.

As a teammate, he has to be useful, right?
