This contrasting feeling made Chen Ming feel somewhat nauseous for some reason.

A nausea that seemed to stem from the instincts of Spiritual Power.

Chen Ming suppressed this sensation and continued to observe the situation in the pit through the liquid metal.

Currently, it appears that the closer to the bottom of the pit, the more severe the decay of the corpses, indicating that this pit could not have formed overnight.

How long has Zuo Jing been active here?

How many people have fallen victim to Zuo Jing’s cruelty?

Just as Chen Ming was pondering, the spaceship that had landed suddenly opened the door at the rear of the ship.

A visible stench of blood immediately dispersed from the open door, and the cargo hold of this garbage transport ship was packed with deformed and dilapidated human corpses, just like the pit.

Along with this bloody smell, a heavy, dense psychic wave filled with an extreme emotion that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Chen Ming was released.

As he sensed this psychic wave, he seemed to see those deformed corpses.

Chen Ming once again felt an uncontrollable nausea, accompanied by an intense feeling of disgust.

And at the moment when the ship’s compartment tilted slightly under mechanical influence, throwing a large number of corpses carrying psychic fluctuations into the pit.

This sensation reached its peak.

These corpses were not of psychics, but their malformed tissues were spread with that psychic fluctuation.

Just as Chen Ming was having trouble restraining his urge to vomit, he suddenly realized that the source of his sensation was not just from himself.

It was his own instincts, and the Frenzy Stone held by his Fourteenth Legion phalanx had triggered some special reaction.

This special reaction affected Chen Ming as he saw these corpses, making him feel nausea and disgust.

Chen Ming immediately had the phalanx move "Ming," which contained the Frenzy Stone, a distance away from him, and temporarily blocked the connection between himself and the resonating Spiritual Stone with Spiritual Energy.

Then Chen Ming looked at the corpses again.

But something even more bizarre occurred.

When Chen Ming lost the nausea and disgust brought by the Frenzy Stone.

He suddenly felt a chilling emotion toward the deformed parts of those corpses.

A... inexplicable fondness.

He felt fondness for these deformed things!

This is impossible!

Chen Ming’s heart raced.

He urgently used a large amount of Spiritual Power to protect his brain.

However, this could only slightly slow down the growth rate of this inexplicable fondness; as long as he continued to observe, his fondness for these malformed tissues would continue to grow.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Chen Ming cursed inwardly.

He suddenly noticed the faces of the corpses.

As long as the head wasn’t completely destroyed and still barely retained its form, the face of every corpse showed a rigid smile as if torn out by something.

Even though it was such a smile, it seemed to Chen Ming as if it was a genuine smile from the heart.

This extreme sense of fracture made Chen Ming not just feel his scalp tingling—his entire body experienced visible physical discomfort.

He quickly restored the connection between himself and the Spiritual Stone, ceasing the interruption.

Finally, his emotions while observing these corpses once again reverted to disgust, and the nausea returned right on cue.

The smiles once again became torn-out rigid faces, except for occasional moments when Chen Ming seemed mistaken, seeing them as genuine from the heart.

Chen Ming truly never missed the feeling of wanting to vomit as much as he did now. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At least this allowed him to feel safe.

Clearly, the Frenzy Stone was protecting him from being affected.

Wait, the Frenzy Stone...

Chen Ming suddenly realized what familiarity the psychic fluctuations spread over the deformed human tissues brought—it was akin to the extreme feelings from the psychic properties of the Frenzy Stone.

The source of these deformed human tissues was something similar to the Frenzy Stone.

It may not be a Spiritual Stone, but it’s definitely a similar existence.

Chen Ming affirmed his thoughts inwardly, taking deep breaths to calm his mindset.

In this world, where Spiritual Energy exists, he wouldn’t be surprised by anything that happens.

But he can’t be sidetracked by these events now.

He must investigate thoroughly.

What exactly is Zuo Jing doing?
