The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

It has been proven that the eyes are the second most complex organ after the brain. Darkness naturally reduces a person's senses, while hearing, the only organ that remains unaffected and may even be enhanced, becomes a detrimental factor affecting a person's thoughts.

very noisy.

—This was Jiang Hui's only feeling at that moment.

It's not just about sound; it's about "noise" in every sense of the word.

Jiang Hui didn't know what it felt like to hear five hundred ducks quacking at the same time. But she thought the situation at this moment was probably a hundred times worse. Just imagine what it would be like to hear fifty thousand ducks quacking at the same time!

Fragments of voices, large and small, from all sides, mixed with a massive amount of mental threads, swelled and expanded violently in the venue like fermentation, creating an extremely terrifying atmosphere of chaos.

Even with Jiang Hui's extremely strong mental fortitude, she found it hard to bear for a moment. She felt as if hundreds of needles were vibrating and moving inside her skull, the intense pain and confusion overwhelming her. However, she was, after all, a person who had weathered many storms, and despite the discomfort, she immediately became vigilant.

In situations like these, it is all the more important to remain calm and composed, otherwise it is easier to make mistakes and be taken advantage of.

Therefore, Jiang Hui forced himself to suppress his restless spirit and tried his best to get rid of the "chaotic dance of demons" in the outside world, and finally regained some rationality.

“Théophile!” she called out her friend’s name in a low voice.

"I'm here," came the reply from a nearby voice on the left.

The other person put their arm around hers, breathing softly, as if they were wary of something.

In the unknown environment, the two stood very close, the hand holding hers tense, and they could almost hear each other's breathing.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

“There are plenty of baits outside,” the boy whispered.

Jiang Hui knew what the other person was referring to. Her mental perception was even superior to Clarence's, and she was the first to sense that something was wrong. Although her mind did go blank for a moment in the darkness, causing a delay, the underlying mechanisms were there, and even unconsciously, she could still discern that something was amiss.

Indeed, besides the spiritual threads emanating from various directions, there were also some unusual auras mixed in. Compared to the spiritual energy of others, which exuded surprise, fear, anger, or curiosity, these auras were particularly different. How to put it? They might have also put on some disguise, but the feeling of being watched by a venomous snake was lingering, and their allies were like venomous snakes lurking in the crowd, ready to strike.

As for what they're waiting for, it's naturally their target this time.

As expected, something bad happened—it really did happen. Although it happened suddenly, Jiang Hui wasn't surprised at all; in fact, she felt a sense of relief.

In fact, the purpose of this auction was not pure from the beginning. The undercurrents before and after the event, the sudden split, and all these things showed that this accident was premeditated. It's just that no one expected things to turn out this way.

The auction lasted for several hours, not counting the pre-auction period. The fact that it only started near the end suggests it wasn't just to see these powerful figures in a state of panic and disarray. Jiang Hui had been wondering about this before; for a while before the auction began, there were subtle signs of the mental energy outside the private rooms expanding and spiraling out of control. At the time, she thought it was due to too many high-level awakened individuals mixed together, and the inevitable disruption caused by the interaction of their mental brainwaves.

Looking back now, there was mutual influence, but it was mostly man-made disaster, artificially created turmoil. These omens were actually triggered by awakened individuals to resist external interference. Everything has its precursors.

Jiang Hui just couldn't understand how they managed to disrupt everyone's mental state and create this chaos so secretly, right under the noses of the organizers and so many privileged military and political figures. Could it be that some technology or tool had appeared on the black market that could evade the existing tracking by the military and political authorities?

No, no, it's not just that. For the mastermind to evade so many "eyes," the necessary technology and tools are undoubtedly essential. But the most crucial and indispensable factor in creating such a situation is people—and the right people at that.

All the "people" in this venue collectively created this situation. The attendees, the organizers, those with ulterior motives, the innocent, or even allies and enemies could all be pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes.

They had calculated the course of events precisely; this was only the first step. The next step, naturally, was to welcome those who would enter the game.

So anyone wandering around aimlessly in a place where they don't know the situation or can't see anything right now is either an absolute fool or someone who's personally involved in the game.

I believe that not many of the former will be able to come here.

She couldn't go out, and she couldn't even move around freely! Jiang Hui had already made up her mind.

Due to the turbulent environment, Jiang Hui's already sensitive mental energy was now restless. She forcefully suppressed her outer mental energy, causing it to shrink back layer by layer, gradually reducing her presence until she was subtly separated from the outside world by a layer of space.

The surroundings became much quieter in an instant, but that brief moment exhausted most of Jiang Hui's concentration, causing her to break out in a cold sweat, experience tinnitus and panic, and her legs suddenly felt weak, almost causing her to lose her footing. Fortunately, Clarence tacitly lent a hand, saving her from a flat-top fall.

"I'll handle the rest." She sensed the equally powerful spiritual energy beside her, like a dragon emerging from its abyss, surpassing her slightly weakened spiritual energy and supporting the outer spiritual barrier. Although they were both equally strong spiritual energies, the alternation between them was seamless, without affecting the barrier in the slightest.

"I can last for about twenty stars at most." The partition was constructed by Jiang Hui by expending most of his mental energy, providing enough space for the two of them to move around. With Clarence's mental endurance, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should be able to remain hidden in this chaotic environment for about twenty stars.

"That's enough." Whatever the mastermind behind this is up to, the enormous expense and the huge risk of being discovered and punished by both the military and political circles suggest that their ambitions are considerable. They certainly won't act slowly; they will act in the shortest possible time, perhaps even more than twenty stars.

This period of time is neither long nor short, but in such a chaotic and uncertain situation, it can indeed ensure their safety to the greatest extent.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the person behind it doesn't actually intend to wreak havoc here. If those people are determined to cause large-scale casualties regardless of the cost, then no amount of mental barriers will be effective—this is the worst-case scenario.

Sensing Jiang Hui's unspoken meaning, Clarence silently reduced his mental energy output to conserve as much mental energy as possible, because who knew what might happen next.
