FBI Division, somewhere in a conference room.

James was gathering his agents for a small meeting, with Yusaku Kudo, as an advisor, in attendance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we can put pressure on the Japanese side not to obstruct our actions."

"Regarding the superhuman ability shown by the masked woman who captured Gin, the codename member of the drinking party, in that terrorist attack, we have been ordered to track it down!"

"The initial suspicion is that it is a biochemical modified person who was privately researched by the drinking party, but after this period of continuous crackdown, there is not a trace of information about this in the information we have collected."

"Either it's very well hidden, or it doesn't exist at all."

"So I propose to intensify efforts to search for the whereabouts of that superman, and if necessary, mobilize heavy weapons, helicopter gunships, and capture her alive at all costs!"

"So, if you agree, please raise your hand!"

There is nothing to say about this, and almost everyone present raised their hands, except for ······· Yusaku Kudo.

"Yusaku?"

"Are you going to be the tenth?"

James smiled and asked Yusaku Kudo, who was sitting precariously.

It's not the first time they've dealt with each other, and they both know each other's habits.

Yusaku Kudo's position is a consultant, and to put it bluntly, it is the same as the criminal police looking for detectives or forensic support, all of which are to seek professional support and provide reference advice.

Of course, it is James who makes the final decision, and the adviser only needs to admonish, and does not bear any leadership responsibility.

Yusaku Kudo has been silent today, and he knows that the other party has a different opinion.

As for the tenth person theory, it is also an interesting dialectic of thinking, which originated in an Israeli institution.

In the aftermath of the Fourth Middle East War (also known as the Yom Kippur War) in 1973, the Israeli Ministry of Defense set up a special agency called the Red Team, known as the devil's advocate, who could use various ways and means to challenge the common assumptions made by intelligence agencies to ensure the accuracy of intelligence.

This body is the tenth man, and no matter how correct and foolproof the conclusions of the first nine people seem, they must raise objections, find exceptions where all nine are wrong, and provide them to the military for evaluation.

The organization is small and lean, all members have academic backgrounds, and most importantly, they have unrestricted access to all kinds of information, from generals to soldiers, who collect and analyze all kinds of information, look for loopholes and errors at various nodes of the information ring, and challenge all assumptions and judgments. Their credo is not "He who dares wins", but "He who thinks, wins".

This was Israel's "Intelligence reforms" rule, which came to be translated as the "Tenth Man Theory."

"When a person thinks that one thing is right because of subjective factors, the second person will have the same view along the first person's train of thought, and so on until the ninth person also has the same view, indicating that the nine people are all looking at this problem along the same line of thought, and the tenth person must oppose the views of the previous nine people, and try to look at this problem from the opposite side, so as to see the hidden dangers of this line of thought, in order to truly consider the problem comprehensively."

"Now, as an advisor, I was originally used to provide advice and counsel, as for whether to accept it or not, that's your business."

"So, no matter how ridiculous it may seem, I, the tenth, must object—"

"I am against the use of force! Even against the FBI's exuberant desire for control! ”

Yusaku Kudo looked around the conference room, stood up, and bowed slightly, like the Earl of the Night in his novel, calm and elegant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be fooled by the word "country······· The country is also composed of ordinary people, and no matter how much you and I here, no matter how much we exercise, it is absolutely impossible, and it is actually unnecessary to oppose that kind of inhuman. ”

"We belong to ordinary people, and our country is a country of ordinary people."

He smiled, then threw out his opinion:

"However, the one in the live video probably belongs to another level!"

"That is, what I'm going to propose here, the [Dark World] hypothesis!"

No matter how absurd or unfounded, the tenth person must come up with different assumptions from a completely different angle, so as not to fall into the habitual thinking of all people.

"Outside the world of our normal people, there is likely to be a dark world that is extremely hidden, and this is the power of the dark world."

"I implore you, not to veto me directly, but to find evidence and consider the possibility that there is a mysterious force in the world that we do not know."

This is an assumption that Kudo Yusaku came up with after careful consideration and awe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all members of the national intelligence agency, and your position is not low, I believe that over the years, you have always been exposed to something that cannot be explained by the current natural science theory, right?"

"There are many, many things that cannot be explained, and I believe that the information we have collected is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are many more unknowns, and there are always unknowns."

There was silence in the meeting room.

Those of you who can be selected for the FBI are all elites with higher education and online IQs.

There are no brain-dead people who jump out and shout "this can't be", "it's ridiculous" and anything like that.

They all understand the terrible nature of human habitual thinking - generally speaking, the thinking of the first person, as long as it is reasonable, the second person will be inclined to accept it, and deduce on this basis, all the way to the ninth person, the inertia will continue, and there are loopholes in the logic of thinking.

Thus the tenth man must raise an objection, and one cannot arbitrarily dismiss him, but must seriously assume that possibility·········

Undoubtedly, Kudo's hypothesis is possible.

The more you know, the more ignorant you feel······

These people know more information, and they encounter more incomprehensible events, but they are even more unable to refute the existence of the [Dark World].

They know the information that ordinary people can't get, so they feel that there are many unknowns in this world.

That concludes the meeting.

Because no one can refute the tenth man, nor can he break the seemingly ridiculous argument.

Because of this, the previous use of force is no longer possible.

Yusaku Kudo actually didn't feel good.

Because the more you know, the more you are away from the daily life of normal people, and the more you can't sleep peacefully.

The closer you are to the dark world, the farther away you are from your daily life.

His son just couldn't control his curiosity, so he stepped into the dark side of society and couldn't get out.

On the dark side of the normal world, there is such a murderous organization as the drinking party, so what about the darkworld that is more secretive and terrifying in comparison?

What is the cost of being in contact with the dark world?

Rao is Kudo Yusaku has a lot of experience, and sometimes, he also feels lost and ······ Exhaustion.

In the United States, I have tried my best to fight wits and courage with the organization, and finally the organization collapsed, and something even more inexplicable came, in the end, when······ Is that the end?
