Chapter 118 Fording

After confirming that the 200,000 inars had been received, Han Xiao extended his hand, saying, "Now that the mission is complete, we won't stay any longer."

"Okay, if there's an opportunity in the future, I'll definitely look for you to work together again," Chen Xing said with a smile, almost impatiently shaking Han Xiao's hand, wanting to see the guest off as soon as possible.

Suddenly, without any warning, Han Xiao's hand clenched like an iron gate, and with a burst of force, he pulled the unsuspecting Chen Xing towards him.

The next moment, he instantly transformed into his mecha form and slammed his headbutt into Morning Star's forehead.

At the same time, Li Yuan flashed and appeared directly behind Chen Xing, delivering a chop to the back of his head.

Caught in a sudden attack from both sides, Morning Star was so badly beaten that he saw stars.

However, before he could retaliate, Li Yuan and Han Xiao suddenly threw punches, one to the forehead and the other to the back of the head, striking Chen Xing again.

Under the combined attack of the two, Morning Star was unable to concentrate on releasing her psychic power and could only endure the excruciating pain and forcefully resist.

"Get out of my way!"

Suddenly, Chenxing screamed like a woman, blood streaming from her eyes. She had stimulated her mind with some special secret technique, causing her mental power to explode beyond its limit and sweep in all directions.

The windows and walls in the room shattered, shards flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. Li Yuan and Han Xiao were temporarily forced back a distance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Morning Star used her telekinesis to grab the four statues that had fallen to the ground and eagerly stuck them to her forehead.

A peculiar rhythm of psychic power floated in the air. In a field of vision invisible to the naked eye, the undercurrent of the mind contained within the statue was continuously drawn into Morning Star's mind, revitalizing his psychic power, which had been weakened by an overload burst, and rapidly strengthening it.

The spiritual undercurrents within these statues were a powerful tonic for him, strengthening his mental power.

After draining the inner workings of the four statues like a whale drinking water, the statues fell to the ground, losing all their wonder and leaving only their hard shells.

Morning Star's eyes turned red, and a terrifying psychic power rippled around her, so thick that it was almost visible to the naked eye, distorting the surrounding air.

At this moment, his head no longer ached, his injuries no longer hurt, and his condition not only returned to its peak but even exceeded his original limit.

"you----"

Just as he was about to utter some harsh words, he suddenly felt dizzy, and his newly recovered state plummeted to rock bottom, even worse. His thinking became extremely sluggish, and his knees buckled, causing him to kneel on the ground.

"You...you guys tampered with it?!"

Morning Star grabbed a statue, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Han Xiao's lips curled into a smile. Before coming to see Chen Xing, he had applied a kind of mind virus he had purchased to the statue. This stuff was a poison that specifically worked on the mind. Once the released mental energy came into contact with the poison, it would be damaged.

Morning Star hastily absorbed all the statues in one go, along with a large amount of mental toxins, and suffered a severe backlash, which is why she instantly lost her ability to resist.

boom!

Han Xiao grabbed Chen Xing's head and slammed it hard onto the ground, knocking him unconscious.

"withdraw!"

Because the two moved so quickly, the guards were only just beginning to rush into the room.

Li Yuan and Han Xiao crashed through a window and jumped onto the street. Han Xiao grabbed a hovercar, drifted off, and sped away in an instant.

The piercing sound of sirens quickly filled the air, and police hovercars, blaring their sirens, gave chase in a flurry.

However, their driving skills were far inferior to those of Master Han.

Before long, Han Xiao had left them so far behind that their exhaust fumes were no longer visible.

Han Xiao parked the hovercar in a secluded spot and then gave Chen Xing a good slapping wake-up call.

A few seconds later, Chenxing's eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils gradually focused, her gaze became clear, and she sat up straight.

At this moment, his entire demeanor changed drastically. If he was more like a charming woman before, he now resembled a pure man.

He turned to look at Li Yuan and Han Xiao, a calm and composed smile on his face, showing no trace of his previous anger and frustration.

"Hello, my name is Fording. Although you may have attacked me for kidnapping purposes, I am still grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to get some fresh air."

His voice was mellow and gentle, completely different from his previous feminine tone, as if he were not the same person at all.

A glint flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "As expected, you were possessed before."

The cultivation of a psychic is a process in which physical strength and soul grow together.

A powerful telekinetic practitioner can separate their soul and consciousness from their original body and reside in the brain of another life form, thereby gaining a second life.

However, this method is not something that can be used at will. It is generally only used when the body is severely injured and there is no other way out.

This process causes irreversible damage to the soul, and the chance of success is not very high. Failure will lead to the collapse of the soul and death on the spot.

Morningstar was a critically injured female telekinetic who, in her dying moments, possessed Fording, an ordinary human, in her spirit form and took control of his body.

"I can help you expel the guest from your mind and regain control of your body. Otherwise, once she recovers, your body will belong to her again," Han Xiao offered.

Fording remained calm, not particularly agitated by his words: "What do you want? I don't believe this is free help."

Han Xiao smiled and said, "Chen Xing is such a big interstellar star, she must be very rich. You and she are twins, so you must know her account password. I want her savings."

Morning Star is indeed very wealthy, but that is not Li Yuan and Han Xiao's real primary target.

However, they couldn't simply say they were interested in Fording's potential; that wouldn't convince the other party.

On the contrary, the argument that he was after money was more convincing and could make Fording lower his guard.

Sure enough, Fording immediately believed Han Xiao's statement.

After all, hiring mercenaries for money is perfectly normal.

Moreover, this behavior does not constitute kidnapping; rather, it is helping a person who has been possessed, and does not violate the mercenary agreement.

Moreover, Fording didn't feel any guilt about spending Morningstar's money.

Although Morning Star earned the money, he used his body to do so. Since that's the case, it doesn't seem like there's any problem with him squandering it.

"Sounds good—but if you want the money right away, I'm afraid I can't help you." Fording shook his head with a wry smile, pointing helplessly to his head. "She just threatened me that if I touch her savings, she'll kill me and me."

"So—I can't afford to pay her until I get rid of her problem."

Li Yuan and Han Xiao exchanged a glance and nodded: "Okay, but in that case, you must stay by our side to suppress Chenxing's counterattack until we find a way to completely get rid of her."

Fording nodded, paused, and slowly said, "I hope I can avoid harming her life. She was forced to reside in my body; she didn't use my body to do anything reckless."

"Over the past five years, although she found me annoying and blocked my voice in her mind, I have looked through her memories and realized that she was also a pitiful person."

"Okay." Han Xiao agreed without saying a word.

Then, he changed the subject, saying, "Now that we've reached an agreement, we'll need to trouble you with something. If you step in, our warrants can be lifted."

"No problem." Fording smiled gently, "But you need to take care of the injuries on my face first, otherwise I won't be convincing at all."

"At 9:00 AM today, the famous interstellar singer Morning Star was attacked on the New Ferran 8 colony in the Ryan system of the Colton Cluster, and his whereabouts remain unknown."

"According to eyewitnesses, the attackers were the Xuanji Mercenary Group, a well-regarded mercenary group in the Colton Cluster, and also a field force on Longtan Floating Island."

"Specific details are not yet available. Our station is actively communicating with the local police department and Morningstar's assistant team."

'

At this moment, the area surrounding the hotel where Morning Star had originally stayed was filled with hovercars, and in addition to the security forces sealing off the scene, there was also a large group of media reporters.

Among these reporters were local media from the New Ferran Alliance and media from interstellar space. Like sharks that had smelled blood, they rushed to the scene shortly after the incident and rushed to publish first-hand reports.

If it were just a regular kidnapping case, they wouldn't be this proactive, but this incident is different.

First, the person who was kidnapped was a celebrity, a star singer.

Secondly, the kidnapping occurred in a busy urban area, and the kidnappers were actually a fairly well-known mercenary group.

These journalists have an exceptionally keen sense for trending topics, and they immediately noticed something unusual about it.

In addition to reporting events normally, they almost immediately started fabricating all sorts of rumors, with various sensationalist headlines and sensationalist claims emerging one after another. They did whatever was most eye-catching and sensational.

Immediately, Morningstar's many fans were in an uproar, launching a barrage of criticism against the New Ferran Alliance on the interstellar network, demanding that they quickly rescue Morningstar.

Just as things were getting out of hand, to everyone's surprise, Morning Star came back on her own.

Moreover, members of the Xuanji Mercenary Group who had previously kidnapped Chenxing were also among those who returned!

This bizarre turn of events left the New Ferran Alliance law enforcement officers and the media completely bewildered.

Fording, however, used pre-prepared wording to deflect all their questions.

He then announced a hiatus from his acting career and disbanded his team.

After doing all this, he returned to his hotel room and smiled, "Now I have time. How do you plan to help me?"

'

Han Xiao seemed to have been prepared, and said confidently, "Since you don't want to hurt Chenxing, then I won't resort to destructive methods."

"There is a telekinetic in my team. Although he is not very strong, that is precisely why he can keep Morning Star weak and unable to recover without seriously damaging her."

"But the key to the problem lies with yourself."

"9

"At most, I can make sure you maintain control and that she can't take your body."

"The only way to completely resolve this issue without harming her is for you to negotiate with her yourself."

Fording, however, was optimistic: "As long as I can control my body, that's enough. Besides, I learned how to train my telekinesis from her memories."

"If I become mentally strong enough, I think she won't be able to do anything to me."

Han Xiao nodded in agreement, then turned around and gestured.

One of his men stepped forward from behind the crowd and walked up to Fording.

This person was originally a slave in the slave market of Longtan Floating Island. He was released by Li Yuan and Han Xiao during the last slave market riot, so he chose to join the Xuanji Mercenary Group.

Standing before Fording, he slowly closed his eyes, and ripples of psychic energy spread from his forehead, entering Fording's brain.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, exhaled slightly, and nodded: "I found Morning Star. She is very weak now and cannot resist my invasion."

"I set up four mental barriers to trap her inside, and hypnotized her consciousness to slow down her thinking."

"Given her current recovery ability, she shouldn't be able to cause any trouble within fifteen days."

Fording slowly opened his eyes as well, a sunny smile spreading across his face: "She's yelling at me right now, looks like it's working pretty well."

Han Xiao nodded and waved his hand, "Now that it's resolved, let's go."

The group boarded the Xuanji Mercenary Group's spaceship and left the colony.

In the pitch-black universe, the spaceship travels at a constant speed toward its destination.

Fording sat in a chair, looking at an ornament on the table in front of him.

-

The next moment, a subtle surge of mental energy emerged in his mind, and the ornament began to float gently.

Upon seeing this, Han Xiao's eyes widened slightly: "You've already awakened your psychic powers?"

Fording smiled broadly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Morningstar's memories contain a complete set of telekinesis training methods, and I can feel what she felt when she trained her telekinesis. It was just following along; it was very simple."

"Moreover, it seems that I have quite a bit of talent."

"It took her three days to awaken her psychic powers, while it only took me a few hours."

"Moreover, while she is healing herself, I can more or less steal some of her psychic energy. We share one body and there is no mutual repulsion between us."

Li Yuan had anticipated this, after all, for Fording, Morning Star's memories were a considerable treasure.

At this moment, all her accumulated cultivation experience was forced to be shared, which meant that Fording had already practiced it once and would not take any detours.

Coupled with his powerful talent and the fact that he is a twin, his growth rate will be quite terrifying.
