Chen Ming agreed to the president’s suggestion not to continue investigating the information that was previously still questioned and asked, "Since I don’t need to investigate anymore, what do we do next? A movable dimension infection source that’s also a psychic—how do we track him?"
"There’s still a way." The president’s tone was not overly anxious: "First, I need to bring up the places with a one hundred percent newborn mutation rate I mentioned to you a few days ago."
"I remember that, what’s going on?"
"The places with a one hundred percent mutation rate are exactly where the dimension-infected enhanced psychic visited."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Of course there is."
The president emphasized, saying, "The different locations with a one hundred percent mutation rate did not reach this rate at the same time."
"However, the interval for each region to reach a one hundred percent newborn mutation rate is basically the same as the interval it takes an ordinary spaceship to travel from one place to another."
"By combining the information sent over from Wu An, we can confirm that the person from Zuo Jing is definitely on the move."
"Messages can corroborate each other, so there should be no errors in this information."
"Unless some special psychics are involved, otherwise moving in the Cai Mo Star Realm must follow the basic rules of our universe."
"Even Zuo Jing can only move through superspace or spaceships; if he wanted to move through spiritual energy, the commotion would definitely not be small, making it easier for us to detect."
"With the spaceship’s maximum speed and the estimated time point when the mutation rate reached one hundred percent."
"Combining these two data sets, we can outline a rough range of Zuo Jing’s movements."
"Finally, using the star system that reached a one hundred percent mutation rate about five hours ago as a reference point, there are a total of six star systems with colonies outlined within this range."
"We will then focus our investigation on these six colonies to search."
"If any new star systems reach a one hundred percent mutation rate during this process, we will replace the new target anytime until we locate Zuo Jing’s position."
Chen Ming thought about the capture plan the president had devised and found it quite plausible.
He hadn’t thought about leveraging the newborn mutation rate across different regions before.
Once Zuo Jing’s spiritual energy reaches a location, it gathers another dimension’s attention on him, so while the relative position between the main universe and another dimension hasn’t changed, and the dimension infection source hasn’t been cleared, the mutation rate increasing rapidly is definitely guaranteed.
There’s no problem confirming Zuo Jing’s movement range based on the sudden surge in mutation rates between two regions.
Chen Ming also considered a more advanced approach: "If we can calculate where Zuo Jing’s first target might be, then we might be able to find the second target too, though it would be a larger range."
"With some preparation, we should be able to quickly intercept him once Zuo Jing starts moving."
The president was somewhat surprised and delighted by Chen Ming’s immediate plan, "That’s exactly what we’re working on."
"In up to three days, we can thoroughly lock down Zuo Jing’s movements."
"What happens after that?"
The president mercilessly uttered two short words: "Take him down."
"Hope nothing goes wrong then."
Chen Ming casually commented and shifted to another topic, "The source of Zuo Jing’s dimension infection is a psychic; that’s information from the boss, right? Did the boss say where he got this information?"
"He said he has people in Zuo Jing, nothing more. You can go ask him; he might tell you."
"..."
Chen Ming was silent for a moment and then asked, "Anything else important?"
"That’s all for now; we’re basically changing our approach and using new methods to track down Zuo Jing."
"The entire Cai Mo is still the same, but you can feel that the resistance facing the people below is greater than before. If Zuo Jing really has mind control psychics, there’s no escape."
"Oh, right."
The president suddenly remembered something and said, "Someone filed a complaint against you."
"What?"
Chen Ming was caught off guard and asked, "A complaint against me?"
"Yes, because your Dusk Fleet is running around Cai Mo, so some people who know about your spiritual energy effects are displeased with you." freёwebnovel.com
"Some people believe that your Dusk could help spread your spiritual energy, controlling various star systems of Cai Mo. By then, it’s uncertain whether Cai Mo is still under Cai or becomes Chen."
"..."
Chen Ming was silent again for a moment and then said, "Honestly... such suspicions are quite normal, but I’ve never done anything out of line before, right?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Moreover, my Dusk Fleet operates mainly through scanning, not landing on colonies or making contact. If you insist, the only contact is during supply stops at some space stations, but they can’t deny me supplies, right?"
"Besides, what do they think psychics are? Using spiritual energy carries a mental burden. This is a star realm; laying it out for me, I wouldn’t have the mental capacity to control it."
Of course, Chen Ming cared enough to say it because, in reality, if the Dusk assisted in control, the mental burden of controlling these entities wouldn’t be significant for him.
