Chapter 701: The Worried Citizen

District 1 is getting less and less secure.

Song Lan looked out the window at the dark sky again, and felt deeply worried about the future of the city, not long ago, he heard that there was a big eucalyptus in the counterintelligence department.

Members of the Terrorist Task Force went mad and killed several counterintelligence agents before being killed.

"I remember before you came to District 1 that this is one of the safest cities in the Coalition Government."

He spoke.

Now, he felt that the security of these two cities might not be as good as that of the 17th arrondissement, at least the 17th arrondissement had never fought a civil war, and there had never been a tension between the two public offices.

And with their joint efforts, the 17th district is now in a stage of steady and positive development.

"I also said that the second arrondissement is also the safest city."

Lu Xiang did not deny this, she sat on the bed very calmly, "Until you come." ”

She now found a common denominator in the city's deterioration, and she finally realized why she was rated as the least safe city in the coalition government before she graduated and was transferred to the 17th arrondissement.

Because, that is where Song Lan lives.

"What you don't sound like you say, why do you act like I caused it?"

Song Lan must emphasize that he didn't provoke anyone, nor did he do anything illegal and undisciplined, at least before Lu Xiang was transferred, he was a logistics clerk who worked diligently to make a living, and he could only blame the underground emperor at that time, Mr. Chai Ke, who was complicit with the Foster family, and even the former director was their lackey.

"If everyone can learn from me, every city will have a better tomorrow."

Song Lan was convinced of this.

At least a sharp drop in crime would be an ironclad fact.

"I'm sure even Hogg is starting to learn from you."

The reason why they knew what happened to the counterintelligence department was because Hogg-Foster told them about it in the first place, and now Hogg was probably more worried than Song Lan, and when he sent them a message, he had already embarked on a journey to find the evil double ability.

"How is he doing now? I haven't sent a text message for more than half an hour. ”

"He went to the psionic research institute, and he had some friendship with the dove, and wanted to see if the experts could provide some clues."

With Hogg's running around, he and Lu Xiang could rest in the room of the Galaxy Transportation Company with peace of mind.

It turns out that if Mr. Hogg is willing to use the resources at his disposal to solve the case, he has a unique advantage over the law enforcers, and even the head of the Law Enforcement Division in District 1 will not be able to consult the psionic research institute about the matter.

"Will he ever return to normal?"

Lu Xiang was silent for a long time and raised a question full of academics.

She wondered if Mr. Hogg would one day return to his original self and look back on what he had done in the First District in the past few days, and if he would regard this experience as an indelible black history in his life.

Convinced that he is a stand-in messenger.

and a psychiatrist embark on a journey to investigate the evil stand-in messenger.

Even her, the others, was embarrassed by Hogg, but he himself seemed to enjoy it, even if Song Lan didn't reply to his news much, he would tell them the news of the investigation as soon as he made progress.

In Hogg's words, for this investigation to continue, he must let the shadow that looms over the First District disappear.

Even if he unfortunately died in the process of investigation, Song Lan and Lu Xiang could inherit his legacy.

"I don't know."

Song Lan shook her head, "But I hope he always does." ”

That way, he might not have to go through the grief of parting ways with his friends again, for Mr. Hogg was one of the longest-lived friends he knew, and every day he lived was breaking his own survival record.

"Actually, he is somewhat similar to those who are affected by the ability to 'dominate'."

Those people have taken extreme paths under the influence of their abilities, and they themselves have become as militant and belligerent as 'dominance', and even those with an obedience index of more than 90 will raise their guns and shoot at their superiors.

Domination gives them some kind of power against the world, but rather it gives them courage.

Inspire them to complete the thoughts that are hidden in their deepest hearts on a daily basis.

"I think it might have something to do with the personality of the disruptor psychic wielder, who is generally more peaceful."

Lu Xiang has always felt that Song Lan's personality is a little delicate.

He is the kind of person who can never do anything without doing it, but once he does it, he never leaves anyone alive.

It's no wonder that before she came to District 17, she never thought that there would be such a person in the coalition government, maybe in addition to Chai Ke and Dorago Safron, Song Lan and many of her friends had disappeared, but no one knew where they had gone.

She had to remind Song Lan, "But if he keeps following this clue, he will eventually investigate the 'Domination', once they meet...... Hogg will die. ”

Lu Xiang didn't know if what Hogg said in the text message was a joke, but the object he was investigating now was indeed a murderous demon who didn't blink, "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

"It's useless for us to investigate."

Song Lan shook her head helplessly, "It has been avoiding me all along, although it doesn't know the principle, it seems to be able to detect my existence." ”

Otherwise, as early as the time of the Iris Consortium, he would have put an end to this matter completely.

It may be a coincidence, but Domination seems to be able to avoid him at critical moments every time, and it is also a remote-operated ability, which can achieve its goals through the puppets it has "dominated" without showing up in person.

In the past few encounters, the opponent has taken full advantage of this trait and never took the initiative to show himself in front of him.

And even he couldn't take out a person whose identity he wasn't even sure about.

Unless he imitates 'domination' and causes a psionic storm that destroys the entire First District, this is clearly not what an enthusiastic citizen should do.

He suspected that it had something to do with the aggregates of consciousness, or or, as δ said, that they could actually sense something from the whispers.

Domination used to be Whisper's most fanatical followers, even seeing them as "fathers".

It faithfully followed Whisper's instructions and completed every task Whisper had assigned to it, even if those tasks eventually led to it turning itself into a psionic bomb and a psionic storm that shocked the coalition government, it had no complaints in its heart.

"Lao Lu, I don't know if you've ever heard of a saying?"

"Huh?"

"Remotely operated capability restraint stops."

Even the invincible Mr. Jotaro has suffered several big losses from those with remote operation ability.

"Nope."

Lu Xiang shook his head with great certainty, "The coalition government does not have a record of those who are able to stop time, and there are no rebels. ”

………………………………

On the other side, Hogg's investigation continues.

The person he could think of who had the most study of psionic abilities was the dove.

The latter founded the Psio Research Institute, and was one of the first researchers of the coalition government, but their relationship was not particularly good, only to the extent that they knew each other and could speak, and he had heard on many occasions that the dove had a strange temperament and was a difficult person to get along with.

But unexpectedly, when he explained his intentions, the dove welcomed him very warmly.

A lot of hidden information was also retrieved from the database.

"The abilities you describe are familiar......"

After a long period of investigation and comparison, the dove found a file called "Domination" from the dense entries, "That's right, it should be this one." ”

For most of the coalition government, the Dark Ages were the ones they would not want to look back on, when parliamentarians, rescuers and ordinary people alike lived in fear and anxiety, never knowing which building would explode or which neighborhood would be the scene of a mass riot, and they were unfortunate enough to be the victims of these sudden events.

But the dove has always loved that era.

It was the most vigorous period of psionic research, and there was an endless stream of powerful psionic people, and now, it seems that they will never go back to that period.

"The behavior you've described is somewhat similar to the effect of its abilities in the early days."

Judging from the statistics, all the people who opened their hearts to "domination" died in the end without exception, but before they died, they often achieved their deepest wishes.

These desires, which have been hidden, are often bloody and brutal, and under the guidance of 'domination', those people seem to have given up their human reason and completely unleashed their bestial side.

However, in the later stages, Domination is no longer satisfied with this, preferring to simply and brutally turn those people into psionic bombs, and anyone who comes close to them will be blown to pieces.

"Huh?"

As the dove continued to read, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, "The file says that it is dead, and when it faced the encirclement of the six-star rescuers, it also turned itself into a psychic bomb, and died with all the people who pursued it, if only Miles were still here, these things were recorded by him at that time." ”

"Miles?"

"A great psychic researcher and my best friend."

"Where is he now, I can send a private jet to pick him up in District 1."

"I'm afraid it won't work."

Dove shook his head regretfully, "Miles has passed away, and Daystar Academy held a funeral for him not long ago...... But I'm pretty sure that the powers of the dead can't be inherited, and we've been working on this for the last few years. ”

The Psionics Research Institute has been working hard to complete the research of this technology, hoping that even if those powerful and important psionic abilities unfortunately die, they will be able to continue their abilities through technological means.

The abilities that were completely wiped out by the death of the wielder always made him sigh.

"Perhaps, they were inherited by some other means."

When the dove said this, Hogg opened his mind.

Suddenly he had an amazing idea, and it all made sense.

"Maybe it wasn't completely dead at the time, but existed as an evil spirit until it was encountered by someone else."

At first, he also thought of the stand-in as an evil spirit possessed by him.

"You mean the conscious body? It is true that this theory has been proposed, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove its truth. ”

"Not a conscious body."

Hogg shook his head firmly, "It's the stand-in messenger. ”
