Chapter 475: Chapter 251: Vigilance of the Small Fry, Reappearance of the Dimensional Gods_2

Dimensional Gods!?

He was not unfamiliar with this name; there were many rumors about them within the organization, the most famous feat being guiding the Firework Master Coyle to kill Isus, causing a sensation within the organization.

It was said that the leaders considered them not just ordinary Dimensional Creatures, but rather powerful.

He swallowed hard, yet skepticism rose: "How can you prove it?"

"What kind of proof do you want from me?"

"This..." Pier hesitated slightly, his mind racing with thoughts, and he couldn’t help pointing at the screen where the surveillance footage was still playing on a loop: "Are you the one Controlling me?"

"No..." the voice denied: "Not me. It is precisely because of this matter that I’ve turned my attention to you."

"Paying attention to me? You can observe the entire Torch Base?" Pier couldn’t help but express his astonishment, "How is that possible? This is the Realm of Perpetuity’s coverage area, the power of other Dimensional Creatures would provoke retaliation from Balzak."

The voice was calm and indifferent: "I am right here."

Pier couldn’t help but gasp in shock. Either Balzak hadn’t detected the Dimensional Gods, or it didn’t dare to retaliate.

Pier swallowed hard and cautiously inquired, "If it’s not you, then who is Controlling me?"

"Shouldn’t you turn off the surveillance cameras in the room first?"

This reminded Pier, and he hurriedly opened his intelligent terminal; the surveillance camera in this room was not connected to the Torch Organization’s system but to his own terminal.

Looking at himself panicking and shouting in the empty room on the screen, he broke into a cold sweat and quickly performed a destructive deletion.

"The one Controlling you, and the one you are looking for, is the same person," Li Ming finally revealed.

"The same person..." Pier was initially puzzled, then his expression changed slightly, "Is it the inner spy that the leader asked me to find?"

"Who is he? Is it Azure Dragon?"

Azure Dragon? He actually suspects me?

Li Ming was speechless, but Connet hadn’t told Pier more information, so naturally, he suspected the most formidable one.

"The other party has the protection of power from other Dimensional Creatures. I am still searching."

"What? But this is Balzak’s territory, it wouldn’t allow other Dimension Life..." Pier was startled again, about to say it was impossible.

But this Dimensional God he was talking to had done it.

Another life form at the Dimensional Gods’ level?

Why have they all set their sights on the organization’s base?

"So, the other party was able to use mind-influencing powers on you," Li Ming explained.

"What does he want?" Pier asked anxiously, "And who is that Dimensional Creature?"

"You do not need to know that. All you need to know is that I will help you find him."

"This..." Pier hesitated, "Why come to me? Why not speak directly with the leader?"

"Your leader may not necessarily want to help me, but you can only listen to me."

Pier fell silent, speculating that this might be a struggle among the highly intelligent Dimensional Creatures.

Indeed, their own leader might not help the Dimensional Gods but would aid the Dimensional Creature that offers the highest price.

But since he had already been Compelled to do certain things, if he didn’t find out the truth, he would also be on a path to death.

It seemed he had no choice, but this was at least for investigating the enemy’s spy within the Torch Organization, so it did not count as a betrayal.

"How do you plan to help me?" Pier composed himself.

"I can tell you that the method the other party uses for external contacts is distributed data decompilation."

Pier had a strange expression; hearing such technical jargon from the mysterious Dimensional Gods felt oddly incongruent, but then he had an epiphany:

"I see, you mean that he is using our data streams."

"Our data stream is like a newspaper, and what he does is cut out the words he wants to say and the responses from the newspaper."

"No wonder the overall data stream shows no fluctuations."

"But..." He felt helpless again, "this kind of decompiling program uses specific encoding, if we don’t know the exact encoding, it’s almost impossible to translate."

"I know some of it."

Pier’s expression dramatically shook, as he rapidly operated under the guidance of the Dimensional Gods.

"...I now need inside the Torch Organization..."

The voice was calm and indifferent, and under the effect of data compilation, sounded somewhat feminine.

Pier’s pupils contracted, had it really been compiled?

Of course, Li Ming didn’t know what encoding Des had used specifically, but he was aware that from the dialogue between the two, he could directly deduce in reverse.

"Is there more?" Pier couldn’t help but ask; with only a fragment of the code, he couldn’t even contemplate breaking the encryption.

"Not at the moment, I need to break through the opponent’s blockade to know more information, but it’s better not to alarm the enemy unnecessarily."

Pier nodded, also understanding this principle. After a moment’s hesitation, he spoke softly, "Could you... help me, in case I am controlled again..."

"I will construct a mental defense for you, there will be a moment of haziness afterwards."

"Yes..." Pier was invigorated as he prepared himself.

The next moment, a pocket watch fell from the sky.

Not long after, Pier suddenly awoke from the chair, looked around, and then glanced at the time, discovering several minutes had passed.

But he vividly remembered everything that had happened before, the communication with the Dimensional Gods, and the mental defense constructed for him by the Dimensional Gods.

No longer would he have to fear being controlled.

His spirits lifted, he instinctively clenched his fists, the involvement in the dispute between two mighty Dimensional Life Forms filled him with trepidation, but perhaps it was also an opportunity!

"Right, there’s also the matter for the Warship assembly, I need to remind you a few things." He seemed to suddenly remember and summoned Zog.

The looming threat within Pier had been suppressed, and a hook implanted, ready to be activated at any time to reveal the true face of Des.

And several key suggestions had been planted for later use.

Li Ming was now lurking within Zog’s shadow, contemplating:

"The regular Warship assembly doesn’t need the core researchers like Zog, but main-level Warship assembly must be handled by them personally."

"I could use similar-looking components to replace the main cannons of the flagship, but for these professional personnel, they would be able to notice something odd about the main cannons during installation, not waiting for testing."

"Therefore, suggestions must be implanted to make them deliberately overlook the anomaly in the main cannons."

Li Ming had a plan in mind; the Warship assembly line of the Torch Organization, even with assistance from various instruments, involved operations by tens of thousands of people.

Simultaneously assembling all kinds of Warships, hypnotizing these people individually and planting suggestions was a massive undertaking, nearly impossible to achieve within ten days.

But for the main-level Warship assembly, they used the core members of the research department, always those three to four hundred people, with swift action, ten days was almost enough.

They were mostly D or even F level Life Forms, unlikely to notice having been hypnotized.

"Zog, why do you look so sleepy, got scolded by the minister?" In front of the large workbench, a bald colleague jokingly said as a panel was drawn overhead,

"Not at all..." Zog shook his head: "The minister just gave me some instructions, I just feel like I haven’t been resting well lately, often feeling distracted."

"Me too..." The bald colleague raised an eyebrow, "Maybe it’s because the workload has been bigger lately, it’ll get better after this period."

"That’s true." Zog agreed and then went to another workbench.

On the ground, shadows hardly visible to the naked eye kept flickering.

The staff responsible for the main Warship assembly had been decided, Li Ming hypnotized Zog one by one, leading him to find them.

It definitely couldn’t be accomplished in one day; in the end, a total of forty-two people had been hypnotized, with suggestions implanted in their minds.

Over the next few days, after mingling in the Core Laboratory, Li Ming went on to hypnotize the members of the research department responsible for the main Warship assembly.

Time passed in this repetitive process, the Torch Base operated as usual, with no one aware of the undercurrents prepared to surge beneath the surface.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
