Chapter 702: Defending
When Hogg uttered the words "stand-in", Dove felt that this serious, scholarly discussion was heading in a strange direction.
But unlike the laymen who only accuse others of nonsense, he quickly adjusted his heartbeat and tried to see the matter through the eyes of a psychic researcher.
According to Hogg's description, the biggest difference between stand-ins and psionic beings is that they can see the phantom projection of their own psychic power, and other aspects can be explained by psychic power.
Whether it's a stand-in messenger, a witch, a witch, or a Taoist priest, as long as the nature of his psychic abilities hasn't changed, he can try to understand these identities through his own research, and once the minutiae are put aside, Hogg, a layman, actually comes up with a very interesting hypothesis.
Those who are influenced by distracting abilities such as 'domination' and 'justice' will also show abilities that are different from ordinary people, so can these people who have been given power also be classified as psychic powers?
】
In Hogg's understanding, he refers to such people as stand-ins.
As the name suggests, they have lost their souls and become puppets of some kind of consciousness, although I don't know who came up with the term, but Dove finds the name very vivid.
"It's a possibility."
"Domination was once the culmination of destructive and disruptive psionic powers, and if it really managed to keep itself alive as a conscious body, then its powerful psionic powers would be enough to distort the minds of ordinary people and make them its own puppets. ”
"The question now is how to discern who is really dominated by it?"
"A: Yes, you'll never know."
Dove smiled and shook his head, "Or by the time you know you, you'll be dead, so Mr. Hogg, I strongly recommend that you give up on continuing the investigation, it's for your safety." ”
According to the description on the file, in that dark age, both the rescuers and the intelligence services of the coalition government racked their brains to confirm the true identity of the "Domination", which described it as an extremely insidious and cunning criminal, and the whole process of hunting for it lasted for several months, and in the first few months, they did not even know what the "Domination" looked like or the gender of.
After sacrificing a dozen or so excellent agents, they narrowed down step by step, and finally locked in the identity of "Domination".
"And the premise of all this is that it was still human at the time."
The "coverage" rating on the "Domination" character card is medium, which means that it can only control those who are ruled by it at most one block away at that time, which is also an important reason why it was finally discovered, "If, according to what you said, its physical body was destroyed in that psionic storm, it will probably never be subject to these restrictions again, and it is still an extremely rare person with two different attributes of psionic energy." ”
The dove didn't want to say anything too ugly, but there were countless ways to get rid of Hogg as long as the Dominator was willing.
Considering his status as a Hogg layman, he went on to explain, "The two attributes of psionic energy mean that its ability can be used in at least two different ways, the first of which is the distortion and manipulation of people's minds that you have discovered; The other is to make those who are controlled by it into psionic bombs. ”
When Domination first demonstrated this ability, a five-star rescuer paid a terrible price for it.
When she was rescuing the little girl who was involved in the accident, she was detonated by the other party at a close distance, and even if the bones of her whole body were strengthened by the prosthesis, she was almost killed on the spot.
In the eyes of the dove, even if he was fully aware of the ability of 'domination', it would take at least several six-star rescuers to work together to be able to kill him...... The premise is that there is also a possibility that the consciousness can be killed.
And for Hogg, the best ending is that he will never encounter 'domination' in his life.
"I see."
Hogg nodded solemnly.
Through the narration of the dove, he learns how tricky the enemy is.
The evil stand-in messenger mentioned by Lucy is almost invincible.
Even the six-star rescuer is helpless against it, and he, although he has awakened his stand-in ability not long ago, Hogg is still self-aware, and now he is by no means an opponent of 'domination'.
Dove offers him advice from an objective point of view, but what he doesn't know is that he is not fighting alone, and that he has Mr. Rob Lucci by his side to help him.
What's more, it is against his identity to allow an evil stand-in to behave in the First District.
As soon as he left the Psychic Research Institute, Hogg sent all the news he had heard and his judgment to Song Lan, and he also thought of an idea.
According to the dove, it is difficult to actively find the "domination" of consciousness, but they can in turn let the "domination" come to them.
Its trajectory is traceable, and Hogg clearly remembers the last time he spoke to Jock, the other party warned him to stay away from the terrorist team recently before he was about to hang up, but less than a day later, one member of the terrorist team went crazy in the counterintelligence department and made such a big noise.
From his perspective as a politician, it is not difficult to see that the reason why Jock had asked the terrorist mobile team to accept these things was to cover up the secret of the existence of "domination".
But he knew that Jock would never easily tell him the secret of his 'domination' identity, so he had to think of a roundabout way.
……
"Hogg is going to put pressure on the local law enforcement department to investigate these eucalyptus thoroughly?"
Lu Xiang looked at the text message sent by Song Lan's mobile phone and was stunned for a long time, "In this way, wouldn't the entire Foster family be involved?" ”
"He's already done that."
Song Lan said, "He thinks that in this way, 'Domination' may take the initiative to come to the door." ”
In addition to his abilities and early experiences, Foster also saw a few other things, such as the fact that Domination, like him, had been a very vindictive person, that all the people who had provoked Domination recorded in the Archives had died, and that even the two six-star rescuers had been reduced to dust in the psionic storm.
He knows that "domination" will not easily let go of those who oppose it, especially a politician who seems to have little ability to protect himself.
"He wants Domination to assassinate him on his own initiative."
