Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 351 Space Bag

"What is the underlying logic of mental energy scanning and shielding?" Liu Xi asked, sitting alone in the passenger seat without turning her head.

Mu Xiang practically locked the accelerator, but with his reflexes, this speed was effortless. He slightly swerved to avoid a group of zombies bursting out of the restaurant, and casually asked, "Are you asking me? Why not Zhan Lan?"

“I need your explanation to understand what you’re thinking,” Liu Xi said calmly, lowering her voice. “You’ve been acting strangely ever since you told me that instruction, and even more so after we entered the horror movie… You’re not planning to sacrifice everyone’s lives to wipe out the Demon Team, are you?”

Mu Xiang didn't look at her, but chuckled softly: "Because I used the Mind Partitioner... I gave this to Zheng Zha. By partitioning the mind, specific memories can be hidden."

Liu Xi remained silent, listening to Mu Xiang continue.

“The Mind Partitioner was something Zheng Zha and I exchanged after ‘The Trembling Black Hole.’ I used it to hide some information that couldn’t be known by others—including another version of myself. Zheng Zha’s memories of this were also hidden. He forgot that the Mind Partitioner was kept by Lori, and he also forgot his collusion with me in this matter.”

"Most of the time, I can't recall these memories, and I rarely find anything wrong with them... But I actually recall these things every night, so the problems I discover during the day are ignored the next day."

"All of this was part of my plan, so do you know how I managed to recall it so steadily?"

As he spoke, Mu Xiang turned into a side path.

Liu Xi pondered for a moment, then asked, "What is it?"

“Any thought or memory can be linked to something; this is a characteristic of human consciousness…whether intentional or unintentional. The Mind Zoner enhances this characteristic. By setting up a link, I can activate the thought in that zone when I touch it, and the corresponding memory will also be read.”

"The easiest way to understand this thing is to call it a hook, but I call it an anchor point. Through anchor points, you can get the thinking of partitioning... And the anchor points I set, others may not notice, but you should be able to notice them."

Liu Xi lowered her head and fell into thought. After the bus sped out of the alley, she suddenly turned to look at Mu Xiang: "If you usually forget it, it means this thing rarely appears... But you can access your memories every night, which means this thing is in your room, and you must come into contact with it every night, right?"

“I didn’t join the team early, so I don’t know what things appeared more often before… but combining the two previous inferences, I can guess some things.”

"It's a spatial bag, isn't it?"

Mu Xiang nodded, a smile appearing on his face: "That's right... I have a habit when I sleep, which is that at the beginning, I always put one hand under the blanket and the other hand under the pillow. And the space bag is placed under the pillow."

"What's the point of setting it up like this?" Liu Xi was silent for a while, then continued to look out the window.

Mu Xiang glanced at his teammates in the rearview mirror, some resting with their eyes closed, others chatting idly, and shrugged, saying, "Because Chu Xuan and I have a very important plan... This plan is more advanced than any team battle, even more advanced than the entire God Space. However, unfortunately, I will inevitably be copied into the Demon Team. If something is added during the copying process, the copy of me will definitely conspire with the copy of Chu Xuan to completely destroy our plan."

"The clone of Chu Xuan... he has a problem?" Liu Xi pondered for a moment. "Yes." Mu Xiang nodded, "Or rather, the entire Demon Team has a problem... Let's leave it at that. If we win this match, there will be no more taboos. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you everything, but not now."

"Besides, even if the clone wasn't tampered with, I can't expect him to be on our side once he's in the Demon Team... or rather, he'll inevitably become my enemy?" Mu Xiang smiled wryly. "I know what kind of person I am."

Liu Xi thought for a moment, "So if you take back your memories now, aren't you afraid that they'll be copied back along with them?"

“Two reasons… First, the space bag used as the anchor point is not mine, it belongs to Chu Xuan, so it won’t be copied over; second, I should have other arrangements to ensure that I won’t be completely copied over.” Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. “I’m a very suspicious person. Unlike Chu Xuan, who dares to gamble if he’s more than 50% sure, even if I’m 90% sure, I will try my best to plug the remaining 10% gaps.”

"What do you mean?" Liu Xi frowned slightly.

Mu Xiang glanced at her: "After entering the fourth-order gene lock, through consciousness differentiation, I can easily discover the blocked memories... What's interesting is that I unlocked the most crucial memories, but I also unlocked some more blocked memories. So, according to my speculation, these are memories related to filling in the gaps."

"You were the mastermind behind this whole affair, yet you choose to seal away my memories?" Liu Xi's voice turned cold.

Mu Xiang smiled faintly: "You should understand that setting up the strategy is the same as playing chess... And as the main player, I am both the player and the piece. Now I just need to play the role of the piece and execute my strategy. As for the strategy in the process, I am fully capable of handling it with my current thinking."

Liu Xi shook her head, stood up, and prepared to walk to the back: "Sometimes I really don't understand you."

"Sometimes I can figure it out, right?" Mu Xiang said nonchalantly. "By the way, even though it's blocked, I can barely deduce what it is... Do you remember the arrangements I gave you? There will be a battle soon, so you should activate the Heavenly Aether first."

Liu Xi turned her head to look at him, took a step and reached the back of the car, leaving only one sentence: "Will you stay within the connection range of Zhitian Ether the whole time?"

Now she no longer needed to ask about mental energy scanning and shielding... because she basically understood the meaning behind Mu Xiang's plan.

Mental shielding is not a standalone skill, but rather a way to suppress the range of mental energy scanning to a specific area... The stronger the mental energy, the greater the shielding range and intensity. The specific details of the shielded area cannot be scanned, but if the mental energy difference is not significant, its existence can still be detected.

If Zhang Jie were to perform mental shielding, he could even wrap his mental field outside the Demon Team's shielding range, forming a large circle within a smaller circle... If he wanted, he could make the Demon Team completely unable to detect anything, while also knowing everything about them.

However, this tactic hasn't been used yet, as it's intended to keep the Demon Team alive to fight the Central Continent Team... But Zhan Lan's mental shielding will make the Demon Team believe that their strengths are roughly equal, causing them to launch a mental attack. At that point, their mental controller will pay a heavy price.

The Demons wanted to play this match, and Mu Xiang wanted to play this match too... Just as he said, he had a reason to win, and it wasn't just about winning the team fight itself.

The next moment, Liu Xi activated the Heavenly Ether and connected to the super brain. A look of shock appeared in her eyes the instant she did so... She stared intently at Mu Xiang, who was driving at the front.

What did you do to yourself?
