Biological Supercomputer System

Chapter 957: Shadows of Retribution (2)

Not to everyone, of course, for sure. He was with the rebels, and he had to at least tell them something that would make them keen on doing certain things for him, or accept some

suggestions.

But as for the most important brain crystal powers, Erik said nothing because of the risk of spies. Of course, he did well keeping mum about them, since in the end, a spy really appeared within the organization. He didn't want to risk the blackguards learning about his powers.

In addition to the critical information he was withholding, Erik also kept his presence within the resistance a guarded secret.

Only a few folks knew he was in New Alexandria, and even fewer knew he was spying on the blackguards. He didn't want anyone to find out to keep the mission and resistance safe.

Besides, that he made his mind-reading power known to some was already a risk in itself. No one ensured the blackguards didn't get word about it.

But about that, he couldn't worry, only about the rebels. The band of giants knew he could do that.

He was sure Rebecca kept silent about it, at worst, telling it to her mother, but there was no way to know if Camille and Ramon remained silent about it with other people.

Given Erik's multiple brain crystal powers was already weird enough, but reading minds was even more. The ability was a subject that could easily pique interest and provoke discussion.

Camille and Ramon, like many others, found it intriguing to delve into unusual topics. It was human nature, and it was no changing that.

His mind-reading ability was too of a powerful and rare power, something out of the ordinary even in a world where people could fly.

This could have led them to discuss it, even if just out of curiosity or fascination, thus potentially revealing Erik's secret.

Plus, there were ways to stop mind reading, among these the presence of some brain crystal powers. Mana shielding was also possible, albeit not simple.

Besides, if one knew he could have his mind read, he would put up some defenses. It was how his instability brain crystal power worked. Its mind reading worked through mana, and mana could stop it.

Even being emotionally guarded made his instability brain crystal power harder to use, and there was nothing Erik could do about it.

And yet, he had to say he could to some people: Fischer and Capitan Lain, for example, but didn't tell it to people like colonel Middleton, despite him having a pretty big role within the resistance.

"I already explained the situation to June. Just talk to him, and he will explain the plan in detail. He said he was already working on it."

After a brief silence, Fischer spoke again. "All right. So, just to be clear, we only assist June?" "Yes."

"If you are so sure about it, then I have nothing else to say."

"Thanks, James."

"Don't worry. Focus only on the mission and nothing else. Let us know if something interesting comes up."

"I will. Say hi to Mary for me."

"I will. Be safe, Erik."

"You too, James."

With that, the conversation ended.

Erik stopped for a moment, making everything super quiet. He zoned out, like he was looking at something far away.

"Fuck, this has been a hell of a month."

After the convoy battle, Erik had been terribly busy. The blackguards constantly sent him here and there to suppress the rebels, and this put Erik in a complex situation: having to juggle between a myriad of tasks.

First, he had to complete whatever job the blackguards gave him, while not wreaking complete havoc for the rebels and while gaining enough merit among the blackguards.

Second, he constantly had to read minds. Even a simple glimpse into someone's mind could give him precious information.

By doing this, Erik averted many important attacks on the rebels, but to do that, he had to find the right people, and that meant reading even more minds. It was extenuating.

Of course, he couldn't tell everything he found out to Van Dyke, because otherwise, it would be the blackguards' turn to suspect spies within the organization, which was unprecedented.

If the blackguards' opponent thwarted all their plans, all their attacks, what would they think?

That someone was telling the rebels about these plans and attacks, especially considering how information traveled within the blackguards.

It was impossible for a hacker to enter their servers, especially considering no one knew where they were located.

This led to death, of course, and the weakening of the rebels, but it wasn't a complete loss, because new people kept joining them, and the number of Erik's Chimaeric Demons increased

by the day.

Regardless, this was not the only things he did during this time. He also had to search for Zakir's team and for Momentum.

The problem was that his instability brain crystal power allowed Erik to read what the target was thinking.

If he wanted them to think about something specific, he had to ask. He had to be careful about what he asked and that was super exhausting. Eventually, Erik found Momentum and figured out where Zakir always went after each mission.

Momentum was hiding out in a building in New Alexandria, acting as the blackguards' backup HQ.

Erik believed that this place, even though it was called secondary, was actually the primary spot where the blackguards made decisions about the country.

Zakir would regularly come here after the mission, most likely to debrief and report. But the building wasn't used as a barracks, so Zakir must have had another place to go after his

reports.

<People really say a lot of shit inside their minds.>

It was thanks to that he found the information he sought. Of course, he used the biological supercomputer to check the place. Momentum was there, but he never left the place.

<I wonder why...>

Though, this wasn't the only things had to do.
