Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Study of Abilities
In the office, Zhang Tianxiao got a copy of the surveillance video, Su Ming's ability is very weird, and he plans to study it.
But he didn't plan to watch the tape directly, because Su Ming had said before that observing his ability by watching the monitor would still be affected by his ability.
Assuming that this is true, if he starts watching the surveillance right now, he will soon be unable to detect the anomalies in the footage, which will affect his final judgment and make it impossible to draw correct conclusions.
Therefore, it is necessary to do some preparation before looking at the monitoring.
Zhang Tianxiao took a notebook and wrote down his views and speculations on Su Ming's abilities so far, and recorded the special features of Su Ming's abilities in every detail.
After doing this, he picked up the landline and made a phone call.
"Fang Ling, are you free now?"
"Are you free, is there anything wrong with Minister Zhang?"
"I want you to help me analyze an ability, and I have a sample of that ability."
"Okay, send me that sample first, and I'll see what kind of ability it is."
"This sample is a surveillance video, I can't watch it because of the effect of the ability, I'll go to your office to talk about the specific details, are you in the office?"
"Yes, just come here."
……
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tianxiao came to Fang Ling's office.
Fang Ling is subordinate to the Analysis Department, which is a special department dedicated to assisting specialists in analyzing weirdness, summarizing weird characteristics, and formulating crusade strategies and containment strategies.
It can be said that if the Investigation Bureau had not had an analysis department, the mortality rate of the executive commissioner would have increased by at least several times, and it would have been impossible to stably contain high-risk monsters.
Fang Ling, on the other hand, is the rising star of the analysis department, Fang Ling is just over twenty years old, but he has already made great achievements in weird theory, he has several articles on weird research, which is widely praised in the academic circle, and he has long been a top professional researcher.
At present, Fang Ling's main research direction is ability analysis, which is why Zhang Tianxiao is looking for him.
Zhang Tianxiao sat down in front of Fang Ling's desk and handed Fang Ling a few pieces of paper in his hand.
"Look at it."
The other party picked up the pieces of paper and quickly skimmed through them.
"This Su Ming is a newcomer?"
"Hmm."
"Is this what you wrote? Are you sure it's true? ”
"I'm not sure if it's true, because that kid's ability has an effect on people's thinking, and I'm not sure if I'm affected or not."
Fang Ling nodded: "That person said that his ability can affect the people watching through monitoring, if that's the case, then this ability is amazing." ”
"So I'd like to check with you."
"I understand, Minister Zhang, go to the small room next to you and take a look at this surveillance video, after watching it, I will ask you some questions, and then according to your answers, compare it with the information you wrote down now, do you think it's okay?"
"Just do as you say."
Zhang Tianxiao picked up the video and took it to the cubicle next to him to watch the video.
The time of this video is not long, in the video, from the time he and Sylvie go out to the time they re-enter the door, it does not take more than ten minutes, so soon, Zhang Tianxiao finished watching the video.
In the video, Xia Xiaoyu stood by Su Ming's side from beginning to end, and after Zhang Tianxiao and Sylvie went out, she stepped forward and took off all the tops of the five people, and then she took out the red pen she stole from Sylvie and drew a red cross at the position of everyone's heart.
After doing this, she returned to Su Ming and handed the red pen to Su Ming, the whole process lasted a lot, maybe only five minutes.
Zhang Tianxiao stared intently at the picture on the screen, the video ended, and his heart was even more puzzled.
In the video, Su Mingming didn't do anything, and there was nothing special about this video.
Don't...... Now you've been affected by Su Ming's abilities?
Let's watch it again.
Zhang Tianxiao started playing the video again, and after watching it for the second time, he still didn't find anything special.
He returned to Fang Ling's office and sat down opposite Fang Ling, his expression very puzzled.
Fang Ling glanced up at the other party and asked, "Have you finished watching the video?" ”
"I'm done."
"Do you feel anything?"
"What he said should be true, I feel like I've been affected by his ability, I feel like there's nothing special in any video, it's normal."
Fang Ling's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Things are getting interesting, this newcomer named Su Ming seems to be able to indirectly influence others through video.
This means that Su Ming's ability has a permanent effect on the item, and even if he is not activating the ability, the object that has been affected by him will still maintain its special influence, as is the case with the current monitoring record.
That alone is enough to prove that this ability is very powerful, and the ability to give special properties to normal objects is always scarce, and the ability to give special properties to objects without direct contact and observation alone is even more incredible...... That most likely involves the concept of cause and effect.
Cause and effect are also often described as rules in this field - that is, if the preconditions are met, the subsequent effects are automatically achieved.
"Minister Zhang, you should have seen that your five subordinates had their shirts off and their chests were painted with red crosses, right?" Fang Ling looked at the piece of paper written by Zhang Tianxiao and confirmed with the other party again.
"Yes."
"How did you take off your clothes? How is the red cross drawn? ”
"I don't know."
"Don't you think it's strange that your clothes are taken off, and you have a red cross on your body, but you don't know who did it?" Fang Ling tried to guide the other party's direction of thinking.
Zhang Tianxiao thought for a few minutes with a puzzled expression, and then shook his head: "Hmm...... I guess there's nothing strange about that. ”
Fang Ling handed the other party's handwritten impressions to the other party and asked him to read them from the beginning.
After Zhang Tianxiao finished reading it, his expression became even more puzzled.
"You thought it was weird at the time, but now you think it's normal, which means you've been affected by surveillance." Fang Ling said.
Fang Ling said as he observed Zhang Tianxiao's expression, and he keenly sensed a trace of doubt in the other party's heart.
"Minister Zhang, do you remember how you felt when you wrote these words?"
"Incredible...... I can't figure out why I thought of such an ordinary thing as something so special.
Or is it ...... These things are inherently special, but now that I have been influenced by Su Ming, I can't perceive the particularity of these things? Zhang Tianxiao self-analyzed.
