Chapter 265

Luo Qi obtained a memory segment copied by a Ghost, and the volume of memory was vast. While Luo Qi arranged for a large number of Ghosts to go out one after another to control the mental nodes of the Alien Queen, he prepared to open the Alien Queen's memory.

The Queen's memory bank was like a boiling cauldron, and such things often carried the characteristics of the person themselves. Luo Qi had seen Du Zhengyi's Mental Domain; it was an endless expanse of water, and even though he wore frost on his face, that vast expanse of water was warm and calm. Luo Qi's own world was not entirely stable, nor was its form fixed.

The Queen's Mental Domain, however, carried a violence different from that of humans. Luo Qi knew that as long as he was in this Xuehui Guzhen, his mind possessed completely overwhelming power, but when he truly faced the Queen's mental world, he still instinctively shrank back. It was as if prey felt an innate fear when facing a predator.

When the Alien Seal Beast was created, a predatory nature must have been added; Luo Qi could understand that, but for it to have been added so successfully, that was not a task that Mages of Luo Qi's era could have accomplished.

Luo Qi knew he could skip this part of the work; with the Ghosts of the Society here, he believed he could control the Alien Seal Beast. His father had only used a Magic Array to complete the operation, and the array formed by his Society Ghosts, a dozen Mind Mages' Magic Arrays, could not reach this order of magnitude.

It was just that, given Luo Qi's suspicious and curious nature, he always felt that wealth like information should be obtained as soon as it was available.

He had gone to such lengths to get the brain data of the Seal Beast from his father, so how could he not immediately dig into the secrets of those Qionglin Mages? Come to think of it, there was no telling how much information they did not want outsiders to know that had been passively recorded in the Seal Beast's memory.

Who opened the sealed Tomb, who had most recently used the Seal Beast—he would know the secrets of the last hundred years, perhaps... even the secret affairs of Qionglin from the last thousand years. Even... Luo Qi's brain was burning a bit hot, and he, in the outside world, was about to have a nosebleed; he dared not think any further.

His father must be very annoyed right now, and come to think of it, Luo Qi felt a rare sense of shame. After all, he had obtained access to the Seal Beast by threatening his father with death; the process had basically followed the pattern of crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang himself.

Right now, Du Zhengyi might not have realized what he was actually doing, and once he did, there was no telling how he would despise him. But what else could he do? He couldn't exactly pry his father's head open to explore his father's mental gates. Luo Qi got goosebumps all over just thinking about it.

He would rather die than explore his own father's mind; he did not want to know any of his father's secret little fantasies.

Although he actually kind of wanted to know what the secret little fantasies hidden beneath Du Zhengyi's cold and arrogant shell were. What kept him from pulling back from the brink and secretly peeking into Du Zhengyi's heart when he possessed an army of thousands of Society Ghosts was his pitifully small amount of principles. This principle was roughly equivalent to the rule that when boys pee together, they shouldn't look at each other's junk.

However, having said that, his father had not stood by and watched him die, nor had he used someone else's hand to kill him. He could more or less forgive his father for lying to him for so many years.

He thought distractedly, reached out his tentacles, and connected into the memory bank of the Alien Queen.
