Chapter 705: Dinner Plate
Lucy wanted Jock to be aware of Mr. Hogg's transformation, but to Jock, she was telling a magical story.
However, she hid specific details about her stand-in abilities.
First of all, Hogg and her politely agreed to meet at the café, and arrived early to wait for her.
Then he gladly accepted her invitation and went back to the hospital together.
What's even more outrageous is that in the face of a gun-wielding criminal, he saved her life regardless of his personal safety.
Did you meet Hogg Foster on my first day?
Jock felt that his intelligence had been insulted, since the first day he met Hogg, he had never been a person who would care about the lives of the "common people", and if he did encounter a gunman, the only thing he would do was pull Lucy over to serve as a human shield.
Using the lives of the "common people" to keep him from being grazed by shrapnel was a pretty good deal for Hogg.
He felt that Lucy probably didn't know anything about the value of conservatives, so he made up so many things that were impossible in reality, knowing that Richard Gilves was Hogg's best friend, and the two of them were simply the same thing.
Jock thought about it, and felt that everything Lucy described fit perfectly with her own theories—these were the imagination of a psychopath, and she was afraid that Hocra was saving her by blocking bullets.
He felt that Lucy might need a psychiatrist.
Unfortunately, there is no better psychiatrist in the First Sector than her, a brutal fact that makes Jock despair.
"Lucy, you haven't recovered yet, and when you get a good night's sleep tonight, you'll wake up tomorrow morning and understand how outrageous what you just said."
The call was hung up, which wasn't what Jock wanted to hear.
The other side.
Lu Xiang, who had observed the whole process of Hogg's wonderful dating, basically frustrated Song Lan's inference that Song Lan's interference-type psionic ability would affect people, "If you let the worm see Hogg now, you will feel that he is parasitic." ”
This is probably the terrible thing about the spread of this stupid bird's psychic energy - subtly, the people who will be radiated will become lazy and gentle people, but if you think about the good thing, if everyone is affected by this, then the crime rate in this world will go to the lowest point in history, and it is even possible to reach the idea of world peace in a sense.
She once heard people say when she was studying at Daystar that most of the fights and battles in this world come from the desires of people's hearts.
A salted fish that has no quarrel with the world will not take the initiative to attack another salted fish.
However, it was precisely because of this outing that they witnessed the occurrence of a eucalyptus.
As he raised his gun at the two men, Allman shouted "They're urging me."
This reminded Lu Xiang of a knight named Kane in the second district, when he became a puppet manipulated by "Domination", and also did irreparable things in the much-anticipated martial arts competition, he finally failed to escape the fate of death, when Jasmine went to check on the wound, "Domination" turned him into a psionic bomb, detonating from the inside and leaving him scattered everywhere in the hospital of the Iris Foundation.
Her instincts as a law enforcer made her feel that the two events were closely linked—and the attack on the Speaker proved that the Domination had followed them out of Sector 2 and here.
As soon as Dr. Bai Zhu investigated, they found that a similar incident had caused the local law enforcement department to be anxious.
In addition to Allman, there have been a total of seven recent murders due to work disputes, and without exception, all of the criminals were killed on the spot by the terrorist mobile team.
Work disputes and job assignments are not uncommon in District 1, but in the past these conflicts rarely escalated into homicides.
"Among the many strategies specified by the company, there is a data called the Obedience Index."
Lu Xiang also said a knowledge that Song Lan did not know, "In the daily work, especially when new employees have just joined the work, the company will consciously train them in obedience, and the researcher who proposed this data gave a set of detailed scoring criteria, and he believes that the final score of more than 70 is a qualified company employee." ”
"What does it mean to be qualified?"
"Even if the employee is forced to leave the company because of unfair treatment one day in the future, he will not take some extreme measures."
The company of course knows that long-term stress can lead to changes in people's mindset, anxiety, irritability, and even mental illness, so they have hired a team of experts whose job is to research anti-anxiety drugs and how to minimize their damage to the company when these diseases break out.
This is where the obedience index comes in.
Lu Xiang had heard that those people with a very high obedience index would even find a place to end their lives quietly after handing over the work at hand to their colleagues before deciding to commit suicide to ensure that it would not affect the progress of the next work, so that some people died for a long time without being found by their colleagues, they just thought that the deceased had been transferred to work in other cities.
"Under the framework of the obedience index, it is absolutely impossible for so many violent incidents to happen in a month, and there should be someone behind them to encourage them."
"It's 'domination.'"
In the shadows δ she finally found her own chance to play, she had been waiting not far from the two of them just now, waiting for this time to come, "This is its ability." ”
It felt like it had to give Domination a backstab.
In fact, from the moment it arrived in District 1, it was a gold mine with countless potential customers, and any building it could find some people who were eager for revenge and rebellion, and it should have negotiated a few big deals in this situation, and let the important people of the coalition government die in an accident one by one in a bizarre way.
But there was a devil staring at her, so she didn't have a chance to go out and talk to someone about business.
What's even more infuriating is that "domination" is completely unrestricted, and the city is completely regarded as its amusement park.
So δ got sick.
It had a red eye disease, and in the spirit that no one wanted to do business if it couldn't do business, it had been following the devil since the afternoon, and it had finally found this opportune moment.
"What is its purpose? Does this give it power? ”
Song Lan asked.
"It used to be like this, but now it should just be out of professional habit."
δ empathize, it's like you have a red button at your hand and you can see it every time you look up, and it's hard to hold back the idea of pressing the button.
It felt that it was about to suffer from mental illness because of its long patience, and that when this was over, it must convince Jasmine to try to avoid acting with this devil in the future.
"You might be able to follow this clue to find it, it should be somewhere in the city right now, talking to someone from a certain company."
"What about you? Can you hold back? ”
"I try."
The shadow of the δ is erratic, and it tries not to pay attention to the tall buildings around it, which to it are like high-end restaurants that emit an enticing fragrance all the time, with slogans such as "Free" and "Guests invited" hanging on them.
To make matters worse, the Morgo family, the Iris Consortium, and now the First District, have been with the devil for too long and have long been hungry.
A person who has been hungry for more than half a month walks on a food street, this is the most real feeling it feels at the moment.
"I want you to understand that the real problem is not with us."
Before parting, δ added, "If this is a city where there is no hatred and people can live and work in peace, there will be no attraction for us." ”
Fortunately, the devil is different, at least on this point.
He's not the kind of person who can't solve a problem and just solves the problem that was raised, which is why it's willing to follow the other party all the time.
According to its long-standing observations, the devil ...... In fact, it is reasonable, principled, and even shows the human side many times.
That's a lot better than the councillors.
It had just heard the content of Song Lan's conversation with Lu Xiang, and the obedience index had once again refreshed its perception of the coalition government experts - since they couldn't solve the work pressure and overtime itself, they would start with those individuals who had problems.
And now, it's going to get back to Jasmine as soon as possible.
If you stay in the "food street" for too long, you may not be able to bear to secretly add a meal to yourself.
Just as the two were thinking about the new news that δ had brought, Song Lan's phone was bombarded with highly recognizable text messages - in the space of one minute, Hogg sent him seven text messages.
This guy is like a primary school student who just bought a mobile phone, and after adding a friend, he chatters with each other non-stop.
Hogg reports on his encounter with Lucy today, claiming that his control of the double has improved.
And then, he's going to do something big — investigate the people or groups of people who instigated Allman.
Soon after he got home, Lucy called him and told him all about her suspicions.
Just as he hesitated to meddle in such a trivial matter, Lucy offered a reason that he could not refuse—the person who encouraged Allman was most likely also a stand-in.
A stand-in messenger belonging to the evil faction.
At this point, Hogg felt that he could no longer sit idly by.
As Mr. Rob Lucci told him, the stand-ins are attracted to each other, and the evil stunt-ins come to the surface......
Looking at the words "evil stand-in messenger" in the text message, Song Lan and Lu Xiang couldn't help but fall silent at the same time.
Because Hogg-Foster himself is a member of the evil camp in the traditional perception, and he is also the highest level of the evil camp, and the lethality of their passage of a law through the Council is probably far more far-reaching than the direct crime.
And now, Hogg has threatened to investigate the evil stand-in messenger, and Lu Xiang feels that these text messages seem to be full of black humor.
"I think the influence of your psionic powers is much more severe than I thought."
Lu Xiang turned his face sideways and looked at Song Lan's face seriously.
"Funny entertainer" is no longer enough to describe Hogg-Foster's changes.
Say it and you may not believe it.
From this day forward, Mr. Hogg intends to be an ardent citizen.
