As expected, his aloofness had the desired effect.
In the Empire, high-ranking nobles don't need to consult with lower nobles about everything, nor do they need to share all their secrets; it's enough for others to know the final decision.
If Ren Zhong really asked questions like "Do you trust ?", it would only reveal his insecurity, completely contradicting his persona as an Angel Envoy.
His second response was correct, and after a brief deliberation, the credibility of the frozen Elders in Ren Zhong was once again solidified, becoming even firr.
Ma Zhongfei was the first to jump out, reaching above the rectangular structure to open the cover, revealing the physical button console inside, while lanting, "This Pilgrim is truly despicable and shaless, even in dying trying to sow discord. But I, Old Ma, won't be fooled by its sweet talk."
Barton Augustus quickly followed, pounding his chest in regret, "Honorable Angel Envoy, I must apologize to you. For a mont just now, I had a slight doubt about you. That damn Pilgrim is more cunning and insidious than I imagined. Fortunately, we have you, who is omnipotent, or this would have been really dangerous."
With Ma Zhongfei and Barton's lead, Ying Feng and others followed suit naturally.
Once everyone had expressed their loyalty, Ma Zhongfei sumd it up, joking with a folksy tone, "To be honest, when you said it was the Pilgrim's final words, it really gave a big scare."
While flattering with words, Ma Zhongfei continued his work, quickly activating the backup system's entry process.
Ren Zhong smiled lightly and gestured with his hand, "According to the Pilgrim's definition, once that Wise Man's consciousness entered the 'Net', he essentially beca the 'Net' himself; he just wasn't loyal to the Empire but to the Pilgrim."
Ma Zhongfei agreed, "Indeed, that's the case."
Ren Zhong bluntly continued, "As for your montary hesitation earlier, I naturally knew about it without needing your confession. But I don't bla you; after all, you're rely C-grade Tracer colonial team administrators, at that level. I don't have any extra demands on you."
They felt a bit embarrassed by his words but were not displeased; instead, they secretly rejoiced at having easily won the Angel Envoy's forgiveness.
After a pause, Ma Zhongfei warmly explained, "Angel Envoy, the system recording has started and will take three days to complete. I've set up data activation on my end, so there's no need to watch over it. Shall we return to the ship first?"
Ren Zhong nodded, "Alright."
After so fuss, everyone returned to the Tracker Spaceship.
Hua Yuelan and Chen Qiao's activity areas were still confined to the Water Drop as usual, not allowed to wander freely.
As for Ren Zhong, he used the excuse of feeling slightly fatigued and needing so rest to return to his luxurious guest suite on the Tracker Spaceship.
Reclining again on the sofa by the window, gazing at the starry sky, Ren Zhong rubbed his temples, indeed feeling sowhat swollen and uncomfortable.
He was recalling those two brief hallucinations he experienced just now.
He had already proven the correctness of one of these hallucinations through practice and understood so of its anings.
This was a kind of precognitive ability!
He was soone who liked to delve into the principles of phenona he couldn't understand, almost obsessively, to co up with a reasonable theory to support them.
But ever since mastering the Resurrection Ability, his obsessive tendencies had been forcefully cured.
Because no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't comprehend the principle behind the Resurrection Reset.
He had so bold speculations about it, but he also thought these speculations were too bold to be worth ntioning.
Now, he quickly recognized the reality again, realizing that his obsessive tendencies likely needed to be further cured.
He had another doubt: what exactly was this precognitive ability, where did it co from, how did it work—what's the specific scientific basis and theory behind it far exceeded his current understanding.
Additionally, Ren Zhong also felt that this precognitive ability and the Resurrection Reset seed to overlap sowhat, as if giving soone with an indestructible, invincible body a mighty self-healing power.
If the universe held nothing and no energy that could harm him, what was the point of having self-healing?
It was purely redundant.
But no matter what, this phenonon had already occurred.
