Then let the witch offer her loyalty

But after being processed by that brilliant mind, what came out was the rather ambiguous statement we just heard.

It's kind of cute that she's so silly.

Those black eyes, reflecting the moonlight, were filled with clarity—the softest thing in the world, without any sharpness, yet capable of piercing straight through the hardest part of the human heart.

Chen Moxin took his hand out from the gap in Dong Xiaobai's clothes, reached back and wrapped his arms around her waist, and leaned forward, burying his head in her shoulder, pressing his face against hers.

As Chen Moxin inhaled the unique fragrance emanating from Dong Xiaobai, her body relaxed, and the fatigue accumulated from the day's work seemed to vanish. She slowly closed her eyes.

"Let me hold you while you sleep tonight. I don't know when I'll be able to sleep this soundly again."

"Okay."

Dong Xiaobai gazed tenderly at Chen Moxin, who was leaning against her chest, and gently pulled up his loose collar before closing her eyes as well.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky outside.

The figures inside the room were indistinct.

Chapter 132 Wait for me to come back

The next day, Chen Moxin returned to her office.

This afternoon, to ensure the smooth progress of the mission, he needs to make some preparations in advance for the cube resonance.

He summoned the system and entered the "Divine Sense Talent" interface.

Since completing Gu Qiaoqiao's exclusive mission and establishing a spiritual contract with her, Chen Moxin has gained 2 points of spiritual consciousness.

Furthermore, since he had already invested 2 points of spiritual energy into the "First Ring Talent" and put them into the [Raging Suppression] talent, the prerequisite was met, and now the "Second Ring Talent" has been unlocked.

Among the many abilities of the second-ring talent, Chen Moxin prioritized two divine sense talents.

[Divine Sense Talent: Enemy Witch]

[Effect: When you are attacked by psionic energy, there is a 5% chance that it will be rendered ineffective.]

Chen Moxin found this kind of probability-based ability very interesting, as it was high-risk and high-reward.

If you're lucky enough to trigger it consecutively, it could very well produce a surprising effect at a crucial moment.

Bad luck...

This brings to mind a professional gamer who brought a thief's sign but failed to steal a single penny in over ten minutes.

The passive skill of Lv.1 Enemy Witch has a 5% probability, which is relatively low.

Based on mathematical expectation, this is equivalent to it taking effect once every 20 times.

Taken 20 psionic attacks? He'd be five and a half pounds along with his box by now.

However, Chen Moxin was attracted to this ability not because of its probability, but because of its active effect.

[The Enemy Witch's talent can be used as an active ability]

[After activating the active effect, the next psionic attack targeting you will be nullified within 10 seconds.]

[Activating the use of the Enemy Witch will put her into a 30-minute cooldown period, during which her passive effect will no longer be active.]

This is what Chen Moxin believes is the most powerful aspect of the Enemy Witch's talent.

Actively using the Enemy Witch will cause the passive effect to be disabled for 30 minutes, but you can reliably gain "Absolute Defense" once within 10 seconds.

Normally, it can exist as a gambling-like ability, a chance to try one's luck.

In crucial battles, if the timing is right, using this active effect to counter an enemy's trump card could potentially turn the tide of battle.

After selecting the [Enemy Witch], Chen Moxin looked at the second talent she had chosen: Divine Sense.

[Divine Sense Talent: Psychic Storm]

[Effect: When you release a psionic energy, the accumulated Frenzied Erosion from the next psionic energy release within 3 seconds is reduced by 5%. This effect can stack up to 10 times.]

This talent is active by default and can be manually deactivated.

In terms of effectiveness, the [Psionic Storm] talent is well-suited for situations where psionic energy is released frequently, such as in some very intense battles.

As long as the release rhythm is maintained, the accumulation of rampant erosion will gradually decrease until it is halved.

Madness is an obstacle that no psionicist can avoid at present.

Using psychic energy will inevitably accumulate and corrode the witch's body.

Within the Administration Bureau, the word "wild imagination" is highly sensitive.

Chen Moxin had already learned that whether the witch hunters were on a mission or conducting cube resonance, the witches who had formed a spiritual contract with them would be gathered together and monitored, and their internal energy levels would be constantly monitored with instruments.

Hunters are free to use psionic powers during quests, but every hunter has an obligation to constantly consider the issue of madness corruption.

Hunters have the right to use psionic energy according to their own judgment, but they must also be responsible for the consequences of each use.

If a hunter overuses psionic energy during a mission, causing the witch's body to be corrupted too deeply by madness, not only will the witch herself be put in danger, but she will also be investigated by the Inquisition afterward.

Chen Moxin chose the [Psionic Storm] talent precisely for this reason.

It's best not to use this ability.

The fact that it is not needed indicates that the battle situation is not dire.

If you encounter a situation that requires frequent use of psionic energy, [Psionic Storm] can greatly alleviate the pressure.

Chen Moxin invested her divine sense points and acquired both divine sense talents.

He then turned on his computer and began to review the information about cube resonance, preparing to familiarize himself with it several more times.

As I was watching, I suddenly heard a shout: "Wow!"

A sweet, fragrant strawberry scent wafted through the air, and Luo Lingyou peeked out from the side with a grin: "Brother Chen~ Did I scare you?"

Chen Moxin reached out and gently pinched her cheek twice: "I'm looking at the documents, don't mess around."

“I heard you’re going to have a cube resonance test today.” Luo Lingyou sat down in the seat next to her, resting her face on her arm on the table, and looked at Chen Moxin’s profile.

A sense of melancholy and loss gradually surfaced in her crimson eyes as she murmured reluctantly, "The resonance time is uncertain, you don't know how long you'll be gone... What if I miss you?"

Chen Moxin said straightforwardly, "If you miss me, just come see me. Anyway, my consciousness has gone over there, but I'm still in the station. As long as you don't mind me being naked, it's fine."

The principle of cube resonance is to transmit the consciousness of the psychic, without affecting the body; the body remains in place.

When the witch hunters in the Bureau participate in the resonance, their bodies are placed in a special life support device and soaked in nutrient solution.

Of course, there were no clothes.

Luo Lingyou blushed upon hearing this, and punched Chen Moxin's arm with her little fist: "You're so perverted, I'm ignoring you now, hmph..."

Seeing that Luo Lingyou was about to leave, Chen Moxin called out to her, "Wait a moment."

Chen Moxin stood up, smiled at Luo Lingyou, opened her arms and said, "I don't know when I'll see you again. Shall we give each other a hug?"

Luo Lingyou never expected Chen Moxin to make such a bold request. She was at a loss for words, blushing and standing there with her head down, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with her small hands.

Chen Moxin stepped forward.

She took a step back.

Chen Moxin took another step forward.

She took another step back.

Chen Moxin stepped forward again.

Her back was already pressed against the wall; there was nowhere left to retreat.

Chen Moxin was like a wicked wolf with a wicked grin, cornering the innocent little lamb and then reaching out her claws.

"Don't..."

Just as Chen Moxin was about to touch Luo Lingyou, she let out a soft murmur.

Her face was as red as a ripe apple, her trembling eyes were brimming with tears, she wanted to look at Chen Moxin but dared not, and in the end she could only curl up her shoulders and lower her head, her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Not here..."

There were other people in the office, and Chen Moxin quickly understood, subtly giving a wink to the small conference room next door.

The two entered the small conference room, and just as they closed the door, Chen Moxin suddenly heard a whooshing sound.

Luo Lingyou jumped up and gave him a flying hug.

The blushing girl wrapped her arms around the boy's neck, playfully twirling around him, her long white hair swirling like a snow curtain, her eyes filled with happy smiles.

Both Dong Xiaobai and Luo Lingyou smelled nice, but they were not quite the same.

Dong Xiaobai exudes a subtle, night-blooming orchid-like fragrance.

Luo Lingyou's strawberry scent is very sweet, passionate, and exciting.

Chen Moxin wrapped her arms around Luo Lingyou's slender waist, twirled her around in the air, and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me to come back."

Chapter 133 Star Gate Project

"The hunters are in position and ready to soak."

The pale blue nutrient solution was injected into the three life support devices, submerging the bodies of Chen Moxin, Alexander, and Lei Lie.

These three life support devices all have a cabin-like structure with walls made of translucent nanocomposite material. The inner layer is etched with honeycomb-shaped energy channels. When the neural connection tubes connect to the back of the three people's necks along the magnetic rails, the control consoles around them, which are staffed by technicians, start to flow like a waterfall of data and project a three-dimensional model of the three people's brainwaves.

Standing in front of the life support equipment, Wei Lai looked at Chen Moxin and the others and said, "The nutrient solution around you is a highly oxygenated liquid that you can absorb nutrients through your mucous membranes and provide a fish-like breathing effect."

"Don't hold your breath. Exhale the air from your lungs and then inhale the liquid. It will feel a little uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it."

Bubbles kept rising from the mouths and noses of the three people. As the nutrient solution was poured into their lungs, their bodies tensed up to varying degrees, but they quickly overcame the initial discomfort and gradually relaxed.

"Soaking complete, activate the cube."

Above the three life support devices, there is a ring-shaped magnetic confinement device. The triangular prism-shaped energy matrix suspended on top of it, with an invisible magnetic field, keeps the mysterious cubic creation steadily suspended in the center.

As the ring device began to rotate, fine ripples of light appeared on the surface of the cube, as if the metal had turned into liquid and was flowing. Occasionally, a flash of electric arc would appear, and a faint blue halo would explode at the edges.

Gradually, the light marks on the surface of the cube began to show regular symbolic patterns. These symbols did not belong to the current human language system. They kept flashing and flickering, and the surrounding space also began to distort irregularly, as if this metal object was tearing apart the boundary between reality and illusion.

"The cube has been activated, resonance has begun."

The moment the words left his lips, the symbolic light trails, guided by the ring-shaped device, surged toward the life support equipment, shimmering and dancing around Chen Moxin and the others, as if forming a magnificent sea of ​​stars.

For Chen Moxin and the others, it was a very strange feeling. They felt their consciousness was drifting out of control, floating, as if their souls were breaking free from their bodies and leaving this distant mortal world.

As consciousness gradually fades into darkness, the sounds around me become increasingly indistinct, like someone struggling to stay awake and about to drift off to sleep.

What they heard last was Yang Jie's meaningful advice.

"The reality of the resonant world is far beyond imagination, and it is easy to lose one's way."

"But remember, it is ultimately just a virtual world. Everything you experience is infinitely close to reality, but it is not reality."

"No matter what happens, don't let emotions override reason; always prioritize the mission."

Yang Jie's instructions faded and blurred in their ears, and darkness spread to its extreme, engulfing all three of them.

...

...

...

Ever since the first man gazed at the night sky in the darkness, and the glimmer of light in his pupils resonated with the stars billions of light-years away, humanity's contemplation of the universe has been like an inextinguishable flame, passed down through generations in the long river of civilization.

The cold winds of the Ice Age swept by, and humanity cleaved through the chaos, deciphering the mysteries of star trails on astrological altars built of animal bones, and depicting our imagination of the other side of the starry sea with ancient murals, until technology brought us good news.

From crude stone tools to sophisticated nanomaterials

From a simple thatched hut made of stacked wood to a magnificent space station floating in space.

From the spark ignited by friction to the blue flames of a nuclear fusion reactor

Humanity has thrived on its home planet for tens of thousands of years, dynasties have risen and fallen, and eras have changed like fireworks, with countless civilizations rising and disappearing in the torrent of time.

Only the yearning for the starry sky, like a lighthouse in the dark night, guides humanity forward.

The universe, this endless and vast black forest, carries humanity's yearning for the unknown world and embodies humanity's long-cherished wish to escape its home planet.

However, a set of numbers that has existed since the beginning of the Big Bang has locked humanity in the cradle of civilization.
