Chapter 125: Chains From the Void (Part 1/2) (2/2)

These Darksider life forms followed their instincts completely. It could be said that they lacked intelligence. It was because of this that they would actively go the shallow zone due to the allure of food and react to the emotions and consciousness of humans. Only when this happened did people have the chance to capture them.

Yes, when the Human-Faced Arachnid interfered with an external object, the depth at which it could hide was affected. The degree it was affected was related to the diving depth of its target on the mental plane.

The closer their two depths, the less the Human-Faced Arachnid was affected.

Zheng Xiao had an approximate understanding of the decisive methods that An Weng had employed.Perhaps, An Weng could reduce the effects of the interference to the very minimum by utilizing the Human-Faced Arachnid's innate gifts. In this way, An Weng sought to find the Gate of Truth that was hidden away in the depths of the endless void.

An Weng had already made his move. The marvelous probing waves of the Evolution Field was transformed through the Human-Faced Arachnid and cut deeper into the mental plane.

Zheng Xiao was not too clear about the concrete details of the probing process. After all, he was a ‘kite string’. Nonetheless, there was one thing he could not understand at all.

Why did An Weng need to go look in the mental plane? Was the Gate of Truth just an illusory spirit?

It was within this moment of puzzlement that An Weng spontaneously had his thoughts converged with Zheng Xiao. ”What a pity, child. It is impossible for me to pass to you what I am currently experiencing. You don't understand just how interesting this experience is. All I can tell you is that you shouldn't use the popular-science-like analogies of the Order to guess at the truth. The structure of the mental plane and the way the two planes interfere with each other is much more interesting than you can possibly imagine. Of course, we need to give much thanks to Ouyang and give much thanks to his laboratory...”

Atop of building A, Fairchild turned to look at Ouyang Chen, who had just walked over to his side. ”How long are you going to let your laboratory corrupt An Weng for?”

Ouyang Chen loosened his bow tie to get into a more comfortable state. However, he also increased his concentration at the same time. He drew out a drawn breath and said softly, ”It is good to reinforce buildings when earthquakes are due, but it is impossible to reinforce a city. We need to have its energy be released, and sometimes we take the initiative to set it off... This is what my laboratory is doing.”

Fairchild sneered, ”You and An Weng must chat away at times.”

”We have in the past.” Ouyang Chen did not deny it. He then asked back, ”Mr. Fairchild, aren't you going to say something more?”

”I know absolutely nothing about An Weng's plans.”

”I'm referring to the matter with the Human-Faced Arachnid.”

”Human-Faced Arachnid?”

”This Darksider life form is much more marvelous than we imagined. Quantum Corporation has their own theories and the Society's research yields different theories. Of course, there's also the Order of Justice... Within the ancient scriptures of the Order of Justice, does the Human-Faced Arachnid have a place?”

Fairchild sunk into thought. He had to recollect some memories and consider his options.

But further development of the situation did not give him much time. An Weng controlled the Number 3 that floated in the depths of the void. It switched frequencies the fifth time and this time there was a subtle difference. An Weng was uncertain about what he saw, so he cast his consciousness over in utter concentration.

However, a more substantial change occurred within Number 3. It occurred within the depths of the Human-Faced Arachnid's intrinsic mass of chaos.

A rattling vibration rang forth that was like the sound of chains shaking.

The erratic shaking did not seem to follow any rule, but the sound itself could be perceived and distinguished; it was incompatible with the chaotic nature of the Human-Faced Arachnid.

What was perceived was order.
