Chapter 291: Suppressing the Queen's Power

The power of the Secret Language began to take effect, but a layer of panic swept through Luo Qi's heart; the power of the Secret Language was not what he had estimated.

"Wait." Luo Qi's Yajian shouted aloud, stopping Du Zhengyi, who was just about to fade in color and disappear. "This Secret Language isn't working."

"Why isn't it working?" Du Zhengyi also asked anxiously. "Is your will not strong enough? Is your concentration not focused enough?"

"It's not that, why is it my fault again?" Luo Qi was furious, desperately testing all the changes brought about by the Secret Language. "I definitely didn't do anything wrong. But, damn it—"

"What is it?" Du Zhengyi's phantom walked to his side and also switched into his field of vision.

"I know what this Secret Language is for now." Luo Qi said, his heart turning cold.

"If you know, stop talking nonsense."

"This is not a Secret Language for breaking through restraints." Luo Qi turned his head to look at Du Zhengyi's face; if he was about to get Du Zhengyi killed, then this was the only time he could still see a living Du Zhengyi. Admitting that all was lost, his tongue began to stiffen. "This is indeed a special Secret Language, but it is used to awaken individuals sleeping in the Mental Domain! I don't know how a Mage's Magic could have something targeting the Mental Domain, but that doesn't matter anymore, does it?"

"Try it again." Du Zhengyi ignored what he said and commanded arbitrarily.

"What?" Luo Qi asked in astonishment. "Didn't you hear what I meant? This Secret Language is not at all—"

Du Zhengyi reached out to interrupt him. "Don't think so much; you don't have any other way right now anyway. Try it again and see if there will be any other gains."

"Even if I try again—" Luo Qi said in frustration.

"Look outside." Du Zhengyi said. Following his gaze, Luo Qi also looked at their surroundings. The living room familiar to Luo Qi's memory had disappeared; the two of them were standing in a cave. Outside the cave, a gale howled and a Blizzard raged, while a fire burned inside the cave. A strange, eerie form was almost about to coalesce out of the snowstorm, and it seemed that only this fire in the cave could protect them. Without anyone telling him, Luo Qi knew what that meant. He had hidden in the depths of his mind, but the Alien Queen had been trying to dig him out; the longer he wasted, the greater the Alien Queen's chances of winning.

"Even if the fire is burning my eyebrows, impossible is impossible; you have to be reasonable." Luo Qi said weakly.

"Try it again." Du Zhengyi said stubbornly; he would not lose hope until the very last moment.

"Fine." Luo Qi dejectedly and mechanically focused his attention, recalling the Secret Language once more.

A force suddenly grabbed Luo Qi's stomach. He screamed in the Consciousness World, his whole body feeling as if it had been thrown into a washing machine; his Yajian was pulled by a force amidst the spinning world. For an instant, he couldn't tell at all whether his will had triumphed or if the Alien Queen outside had finally extinguished his fire and dragged him out.

The next second, countless pieces of knowledge flooded in. Countless logical structures of thought were like empty halls; knowledge that could only be obtained after accumulating for centuries, logical thought structures that could only be polished over time, yet they lacked the centuries of life experience to match them. Luo Qi knew what this Mental Space that resembled a human form was; it was the world of Ghosts of the Society that he was familiar with.

He had actually reconnected with the Ghosts; his brain had become active again, unprecedentedly active, and he was controlling thousands of Ghosts. Just now, when he had lost contact, the Ghosts had all fallen into a static state, and the Ghosts previously sent into the Alien's Mental Space had all been devoured and harvested by the Ghosts.

Luo Qi still couldn't figure out how he had gotten out, but he did not hesitate; he jumped up and cast the Secret Language he had just obtained into this Mental Domain. At the same time, he ordered the Ghosts of the Society of Intent to begin harvesting the Alien's Yajian. The power brought by the new Secret Language awakened all the sleeping Aliens. In this war, the outcome had been reversed again in an instant.

These things all happened in an instant; almost at the same moment, Luo Qi opened his eyes and saw Du Zhengyi's face at a glance.

"Damn it." Luo Qi exclaimed. Let this not be a hallucination again; could it be that he thought he had won just now, but in fact, he was having a big dream? Was the real result that the Queen had finally broken through that little Barrier he used for self-protection, dragged him out, and even gifted him a "hope-despair" hallucination package to torture him?

"What the hell?" Du Zhengyi said unceremoniously. "Don't move, your stomach is leaking."

"Wait—" Luo Qi said. "There is still a paradox here. I didn't do anything at all; that Secret Language truly only has the function of awakening. I—how did I defeat the Queen?"

"You? Defeat?" Du Zhengyi's expression was a bit amusing. "It wasn't you."

Luo Qi's brain turned rapidly. "You are still alive, which proves it wasn't you who won either."

Du Zhengyi hissed as if he had a toothache. "You brat, asking for a beating."

Then what happened, who was it? Could it be his old man, who suddenly found his conscience and decided to help them out?
