Apocalypse Descends Chapter 68 - Mind Reading
"What's going on?" Barana exclaimed, "Leslie wants to kill him? ”
"Impossible." Zhang Chuanlan said calmly, "First, he doesn't have the courage, and second, he doesn't have the ability." ”
Paraná was a little ashamed of the overreaction and asked, "Why is that?" ”
"It's a warning." Zhang Chuanlan had a gloomy face, "He wants to warn us not to worry about Shirley's business." ”
"Looks like they have a problem."
"Their problems have been exposed just now underground." Zhang Chuanlan had already seen through Leslie's mental activities, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly just now, but fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to trick him and get key information." ”
Judging by the look on his face, it was clear that the Assassin had been assigned by him, and it seemed that Shirley knew something that forced Leslie to kill her. And this timing happened to be after Rambo confessed to Shirley, which had to make people think one more step. ”
"What? Rambo confessed Shirley? "Paraná doesn't know yet.
"yes. But it's clear that there is something in the words. There is only one piece of the puzzle left, and we can use the information we get from the two of them to test Shirley, and the truth should be revealed. Zhang Chuanlan is full of confidence, rather fighting wits than strength, this is his consistent style.
The missile is close, but there is no need to hide from a missile of this class, the protective shell of the Commander Tornado will not even be cracked, and once the missile explodes in front of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Leslie will wait to be slashed by the Christians.
Sure enough, Zhang Chuanlan still controlled the Commander Whirlwind to stay put, waiting for the charge to be completed. The sirens have been lifted, and it seems that the defense forces have activated the manual control of the missiles and hit them elsewhere.
"Hmph, I know." Zhang Chuanlan said mockingly, "If you want to scare me Zhang Chuanlan, there is no door." ”
The Commander Whirlwind slowly lifted into the air and disappeared with a thud.
The two walked down the gangway and into the Hindenburg, where they were picked up and taken to Shirley's infirmary. It seems that Erich wants to be ahead of everything and has expected Zhang Chuanlan to come, so he has already sent someone to wait here.
"Is Shirley awake?" Zhang Chuanlan asked the officer who answered.
"Not yet, but not dangerous." The officer replied.
"Very good," Zhang Chuanlan nodded, looked at Parana and said, "She may be pretending to be asleep." ”
"So what do we do?" Paraná felt that he still had a lot to learn from the wise general.
"Have you ever heard of mind reading?" Zhang Chuanlan asked abruptly.
"No, what's that?" Barana didn't figure out what Zhang Chuanlan wanted to ask.
"Mind reading, also known as hypnosis, is a kind of magic technique in the West that integrates psychology, psychiatry and other disciplines. It can use reasonable guessing, plus extrapolation of small changes in facial expressions, and even the dilation and contraction of pupils to guess what is in mind. Zhang Chuanlan explained.
"What, you know how to read minds?" Paraná admired him more and more.
"I won't. But its principles are the same as interrogation techniques. Today's computers can roughly determine whether a person is lying based on their facial expressions, but they don't have the ability to read minds. It is still up to the human brain to come up with reasonable guesses. ”
"So, are you sure you're going to get her to speak?"
"Try it, it doesn't work, and Christina."
"She? She has some experience in arbitraging intelligence, a scientist. "Paraná could not imagine what such a civilian could do.
"You still don't know her well enough, Paraná." Zhang Chuanlan smiled helplessly, "This president of the Academy of Sciences has had countless experiences of clichés from the mouths of reluctant people, believe me." ”
As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived outside the door of the infirmary. There are hundreds of such infirmaries, scattered throughout the ship's inner compartments, which not only ensure that each area has adequate medical support, but also avoid direct attack. Shirley's location is on the inside of the bridge, the infirmary for the captain and fleet commander is excellent, and the treatment Shirley receives here is the limit of what the earth can provide, and recovery is only a matter of time.
Erich was standing at the door waiting for them, he instinctively thought that this was the top priority, so he left behind the staff officers who were planning strategy at the headquarters and waited for Zhang Chuanlan here alone.
"Where's Christina?" Zhang Chuanlan asked.
"Inside," Erich glanced inside again. "It seems to be doing a check."
"It seems that she is also starting to suspect that Shirley is pretending to be asleep." Zhang Chuanlan nodded approvingly, "The coma caused by the high-G-force action is only temporary, she only did a momentary whirl, and it is impossible to cause permanent brain damage." As long as you inject some drugs, you will wake up instantly, and it has been so long, it is time to wake up. ”
"What is she hiding from us?" Erich asked.
"Rambo says she's an Apocalypse spy and accepts Christina's leadership."
"Ridiculous." Erich reacted in the same way.
"I thought so too, but Shirley and Marshall seem to have something to do with Leslie." Zhang Chuanlan knocked on the door, turned around and said, "I've already investigated." ”
The door opened, Christina looked tired, and when she saw Zhang Chuanlan, she seemed to see a savior: "Chuanlan, you are here!" Great, over to you, I'm going back to sleep. ”
"Okay, leave it to me, I can handle everything, trust me." Zhang Chuanlan glanced at her and said in a reassuring tone.
"Well, I'm leaving." Christina walked away without looking back, seemingly uninterested in the matter.
"Wait a minute, with her attitude, did Shirley tell her everything?" Zhang Chuanlan looked at her back and suddenly had questions.
"Let's go, you won't have to read your mind." Parana didn't want to bother with it, and it would be nice if Shirley had already spoken out.
The two went inside to find a place to sit down, but Erich remained outside the door. This is to prevent the sense of threat brought by strangers and facilitate the conversation.
"Shirley, do you have a clue why you were attacked?" Zhang Chuanlan said to Shirley, who was lying on the bed without moving.
Shirley didn't react, but her breathing was slightly scrambled.
Zhang Chuanlan saw the clue, and then said: "If you don't say it, everything Christina promised you won't come true." After all, she needs my help to do this. ”
Zhang Chuanlan is just guessing, if Shirley told Christina and didn't want to tell Zhang Chuanlan them, then there must be some reason. Because she would naturally know that Christina would definitely tell them. And Christina must have promised something.
His guess was true, Shirley sat up instantly, moved her body, leaned against the head of the bed, and said coldly: "What do you want to know, ask." ”
"What is Marshall's relationship with you?" Zhang Chuanlan got straight to the point.
"Marshall asked me to pretend to be a spy for Chrisselis and test Rambo." Shirley was expressionless.
"What is the purpose?"
"I don't know, but I guess I want to blame Christina and Rambo for the crime of being a spy for Christine."
"As a result, he didn't expect Rambo to be a real spy, Rambo was caught, he confessed to you, and if I followed the trail to find Marshall's line, he would be exposed. So he instructed Leslie to kill you. Zhang Chuanlan understood everything in an instant.
"Jesus" command. Leslie sat in his chair and was slowly circling around.
"It's time to get off work, let's all go back and rest." Leslie looked at his watch and shouted to the staff at the headquarters. They were waiting for this, and they had already packed their things and went out in a swarm.
Leslie looked around and confirmed that there was no one left. He pressed a button on the chair, and a lid popped up at the armrest, with a combination lock inside. Les used different fingers to enter the password, and it was shown that the entry was successful.
Leslie fastened her seat belt and rested her hands on the armrests, her fingers tapping irregularly, seemingly impatient. After a while, only a deflation sound was heard, and a hole opened in the ground, and the person with the chair fell.
