Chapter 409: Ghost Patterns
XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX
Su Chen wasn't particularly interested in the history of Yan Yun Star. After all, he was here to complete a mission, and he didn't care whether someone was an Invader or a native.
"Bring a Ghost Clan member over."
Soon, a Ghost Clan member who looked somewhat like a middle-aged Human man was brought before Su Chen. He was a Third Order Ghost Clan member with weak strength, even weaker than the lowest-level Fourth Order peak Soldier in Su Chen's group.contemporary romance
A proper cannon fodder!
"Are you the highest authority in this base?" the Ghost Clan member spoke, his face showing a resigned expression.
Su Chen leaned slightly to the side, casually extending his right hand to the side. Ju Ling immediately handed him a cup of tea, her actions skillful and smooth, devoid of any awkwardness.
Not anyone could make a super soldier act as a maid.
If this Ghost Clan member knew that this maid was an Eighth Order peak expert who had undergone four evolutions, he would probably be dumbfounded.
After taking a sip of tea, Su Chen spoke lightly, "I didn't give you permission to speak."
In the next moment, a gunshot rang out, and one of the Ghost Clan member's arms was pierced by a bullet. He let out a cry of pain and covered the wound with his other hand.
If it hadn't been for the gunshot indicating that Tanya was the one who shot, no one would have guessed how she did it. She didn't even appear to draw the handgun!
Tanya was not the same as before. With a single move, except for a few individuals, a Ghost Clan member couldn't even see her actions.
Surprisingly, this Ghost Clan member endured the pain. This made Su Chen slightly revise his opinion of the Ghost Clan; they weren't a mindless race.
"Where is your Ghost Clan headquarters?" Su Chen asked.
The Ghost Clan member remained silent, seemingly resisting.
In reality, bringing a Third Order Ghost Clan member here wasn't done on a whim. Yuri Clone had learned an unexpected piece of information from other Ghost Clan members. This Third Order Ghost Clan member seemed to have an unusual identity. He had suddenly joined their team and taken on the position of vice-Captain.
Among the Ghost Clan, authority was determined by strength. Captains were Sixth Order, and vice-Captains were at least Fifth Order.
A Third Order Ghost Clan member becoming a vice-Captain raised suspicions. It was clear that something was amiss.
"You should know that I have countless ways to obtain information from you. Otherwise, why do you think I chose you?" the Ghost Clan member said.
Su Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly. Psychic power told him that the Ghost Clan member wasn't lying.
No wonder the Ghost Clan could act so arrogantly on Yan Yun Star. They couldn't even locate their headquarters, so how could they be fought?
Even if they killed the external Ghost Clan members, powerful individuals from the Ghost Clan's headquarters would continue to emerge. This was slowly wearing down the Humans.
"So you're useless now?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
The Third Order Ghost Clan member turned pale. Once he was useless, the most likely outcome was that his life would come to an end.
No intelligent race would willingly choose death, unless they were brainwashed fanatics.
Clearly, this Third Order Ghost Clan member wasn't that type.
"I... I can tell you other things about the Ghost Clan," he conceded.
"No need for you to talk. I can obtain information from your mind," Su Chen said nonchalantly. With Psychic power, making someone speak about what they knew was incredibly simple.
However, this Ghost Clan member suddenly chuckled. "I don't know what methods you're planning to use, but I've heard of similar brainwashing techniques. However, I can tell you that those methods might work on regular Ghost Clan members, but they won't work on me, because..."
"In my mind, there are some special Ghost Patterns that have been reinforced. Even a Ninth Order peak expert, said to be the strongest on this planet, wouldn't be able to break them." The Third Order Ghost Clan member exuded confidence.
Su Chen didn't believe this. He gave a command to Yuri Clone, and the Third Order Ghost Clan member was soon under control.
Su Chen attempted to ask some questions but realized that he could ask general questions without issues. However, when he delved into core Ghost Clan matters, it was as if the Third Order Ghost Clan member had frozen, not saying a word.
If Yuri Clone hadn't confirmed his Psychic control over the Third Order Ghost Clan member, Su Chen might have thought he was pretending.
Yuri Clone was a Sixth Order expert, perhaps not strong enough, so Su Chen decided to do it himself.
With unmatched Psychic power, he instantly controlled the Third Order Ghost Clan member. Afterward, instead of asking questions, he used the current version 4.0, or rather, 4.5, of powerful Psychic techniques to directly obtain the information he needed from the Third Order Ghost Clan member's mind.
However, Su Chen soon furrowed his brow. He couldn't find what he was looking for in the Ghost Clan member's mind. It was as if something was blocking him.
"Is this the effect of those special Ghost Patterns he mentioned? The Ghost Clan actually possesses something so remarkable?" Su Chen was somewhat surprised.
He had thought that the Ghost Clan was just a species with well-developed limbs and simple minds, but now it seemed that this view was entirely incorrect.
In hindsight, it made sense. The Ghost Clan had endured living underground for millions of years, enduring humiliation, all for the purpose of catching Humans in one fell swoop and reclaiming Yan Yun Star. How could they be a group of simple-minded individuals?
Recalling his Psychic power, the Third Order Ghost Clan member quickly regained consciousness and smiled. "Now you should understand. The power of our Ghost Clan is beyond your resistance. If you release me, I can be your insider."
As an intelligent Ghost Clan member, he wasn't foolish enough to directly say, "If you don't release me, the Ghost Clan boss will do this and that to you." That would be pushing the other party to kill him.
But what the Third Order Ghost Clan member didn't expect was Su Chen's response: "Take him down and study him carefully, see if those Ghost Patterns can be replicated."
That's right, Su Chen had taken an interest in the Ghost Clan's Ghost Patterns.
As a qualified Commander, he would grab anything that could benefit the Red Alert Base.
The Third Order Ghost Clan member: "???"
If he knew that he would be studied endlessly and have his blood drawn and sliced at every opportunity, he probably wouldn't have spoken about the Ghost Patterns. (To be continued)
