The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

It turns out that something truly remarkable did happen outside, unseen by them.
The two of them froze for a moment as they cautiously followed each other out of the private room.

It was faint, but even spread out over such a large area, the lingering scent of blood remained.

Jiang Hui finally understood why, in such a chaotic situation with so many people gathered, the noise could quickly turn into deathly silence. There was a ready example: people were dead, and it was pitch black outside, so they were already at the mercy of others. To make any noise would be no different from beckoning death itself.

Although it's still unknown how many people have been infected, a faint aura of death permeated the area, suggesting that this will be another interstellar headline after tonight.

Of course, the most important thing for them right now is how to escape from this dangerous "crime scene". The officer who was there to meet them was very careful. Apart from a brief instruction before leaving, he turned off the lights as soon as he left the private room and even walked very quietly, as if he wanted to blend into the darkness.

If the other party hadn't extended a wisp of their spiritual power to connect with them, the two of them would probably have lost track of them immediately upon emerging.

Even so, Jiang Hui and the other person were in a state as if they were walking on a tightrope, with a floating feeling that they were not touching the ground. Their hearts and brains were pounding, as if they were about to lose control at any moment.

The venue was still under partial shutters, which showed that the venue was very well sealed, with not a single ray of light able to penetrate. Combined with the unknown brought by the darkness, Jiang Hui had never felt that a road could be so long.

Unable to see their surroundings or communicate verbally, they felt like they were walking in complete darkness. Both were uncertain of their surroundings, but had no choice but to grit their teeth and keep going.

Fortunately, the foreign aid sent by Zhou Xiuwen was quite reliable. In such a critical and uncontrollable environment, they eventually managed to cross this not-so-long "darkness" without any major incidents.

Then it entered another darkness. Well, of course, that's impossible.

The two people behind them sensed that the person leading the way had quickened their pace and was walking with a more hurried footstep.

"They're here, hurry up, cover it up." A voice suddenly came from ahead, a familiar voice.

This time, not only the officer leading the way, but also the two people trailing behind unconsciously quickened their pace.

They didn't know where they were being taken, nor who was around them, but hearing the voices of their familiar companions instantly made them lower their guard and breathe a sigh of relief.

The space they had just entered seemed quite large. However, everyone present was a high-level mental power awakener, and even though they were unseen and deliberately concealing their abilities, they still exuded a considerable presence. Jiang Hui could sense a very familiar aura not far away in a certain direction.
As the person leading the way stopped, the two also halted. A soft rustling of footsteps approached, and someone casually placed their hand on her shoulder—an aura that made her feel safe and secure, coming from someone familiar.

Zhou Xiuwen. After a journey filled with unknown dangers, the trio finally reunited without incident, which was the luckiest thing in their terrible day.

"Was the journey smooth? Did anything happen?" Although he had already confirmed the situation of his two friends through the communicator, Zhou Xiuwen still couldn't help but ask, since coming from the private room to here had indeed taken a considerable risk.

“No, it went smoothly,” came the reply from Clarence on the other end. He seemed slightly relieved that he had temporarily escaped that delicate danger, but his tone was still somewhat tense.

Given the current uncertainties, even with the arrival of two friends, they showed no intention of turning on any lights. Zhou Xiuwen carefully explained the current situation to them in the darkness.

In fact, the situation at the venue was far more chaotic than the two had imagined. Even Jiang Hui and Clarence, two inexperienced young people, could sense the danger lurking in the shadows, let alone the more experienced members of society present. Especially considering the considerable number of genuine military personnel also present.

These people are all professionally trained and equipped with suitable defensive and offensive weapons. If the mastermind behind this really decides to go on a killing spree, they are not to be trifled with.

As for the impact of the circuit breaker being tripped on them, once the armor is deployed and the firearms are ignited, everything will be clear, and there will be no impact whatsoever!
However, if war were to break out, things would not be so simple. It would not only involve the target people and objects, but also the lives of many civilians present.

This is clearly not what they wanted to see, and it's something the people behind the scenes had already planned in – to make you hesitate to act rashly.

So they had already made thorough preparations. Now they are in someone else's game, and no matter how unwilling they are, they can only be pawns.

However, it's unrealistic to expect them to entrust their safety to others. After all, who knows if those behind-the-scenes guys might go on a killing spree and drag them down with them? In this situation, ensuring their own safety is the top priority.

For those without the means, keeping quiet and minimizing their presence, like Jiang Hui and Clarence, is naturally the best and easiest solution. For those with the means, the obvious choice is to find a way to leave this dangerous situation as quickly as possible, or at least find a safe place instead of remaining there to be at the mercy of others.

Therefore, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, the vast majority of people in the venue could only remain in their original private boxes and wait for the turmoil to pass. However, a small number of people, such as Zhou Xiuwen, whose status was of high importance and could not afford to be harmed, naturally dared not entrust their safety to a vague and uncertain possibility.

Before things could get any worse, the soldiers guarding Zhou Xiuwen quickly cleared a path and escorted him away from the no-longer-safe box. They then immediately dispatched men to rescue Jiang Hui and Clarence, who were still trapped inside. Their professionalism was remarkable in such a chaotic and disorganized setting; they truly lived up to the high-ranking officer Commander Zhou trusted to protect his only son.

"So how long will this situation continue?" Jiang Hui silently swallowed the rest of her sentence, reflecting on it for a moment, and suddenly realized how naive she had been to ask such a question. If the current predicament could be resolved, why would she be asking now? Right now, apart from the mastermind behind the scenes, both the participants and the organizers are probably the ones who most want to restore normal order.
