"Is there any progress?" Old hunter Alex's surprised voice came from the other end of the receiver. "What kind of progress? Is it related to the whereabouts or goals of the Truth Society?"
Wu Ming sorted out the relevant clues in his mind, and then said: "That's about right. First, let me talk about Lao Zhao's research results. The truth potion should be..."
Then he briefly told Alex the results of [Truth] research, and also included Zhao Sida’s final conclusion that the truth potion was incomplete, the speculation of the existence of a superior potion, and the fact that he was intensifying his research on [wisdom]. information.
Wu Ming then shared with Alex the complete inference he had gradually pieced together when he had an idea.
"Old Zhao's research results gave me a lot of ideas. Combined with Lin Jiaojiao's extraordinary potential and the psykers we had dealt with before, we can initially judge that the Truth Society is indeed releasing the truth potion, so that Ordinary people who take this potion accumulate enough extraordinary potential, and their minds are subtly tampered with, and then a special method is used to transform them into psykers..."
"The mass production of extraordinary potions that have been castrated and have little effect on extraordinary people was originally intended to be administered to ordinary people..."
"Putting psychic seals in potions in batches, allowing ordinary people to keep it secret and select targets to spread on their own before their minds are completely eroded. This may be to reduce the risk of exposure of Truth Society personnel..."
"Then ordinary people who have been affected by the potion and whose minds have been eroded will be captured by them regularly and transformed into psykers with extraordinary powers..."
"Most of the people selected by the Truth Society are those who are still immature in mind, want to prove themselves, and are easily incited to become hot-headed. The reason is probably that such people are perfect for being used as guns..."
"From this point of view, the ceremony in the shadow world is probably planned by the Truth Society. It can even be considered that they are planning it behind the scenes. With a little incitement, young people with these patterns will rush to practice it in order to prove themselves... "
"This is exactly what they want to see happen..."
"It's just that what I don't understand is the motivation and reason for the Truth Society to spread the potion and transform ordinary people into psykers regardless of the cost, even at the risk of being traced, being deemed an illegal organization, and being banned. What is..."
The old hunter on the other end of the phone had been listening quietly to Wu Ming's conjecture. Only then did he speak: "Psychics use psychic powers at the cost of burning souls and lifespans, replacing and overwriting reality with delusions... "
"Unless someone with knowledge of the matter informs them, they will only know about it after there are obvious changes in their bodies. And Otto and the others do not know this fact..."
Hearing Alex's reply, Wu Ming was startled, and then a reasonable and appropriate adjective emerged in his mind to describe people like Ao Tu: cannon fodder.
If the prerequisite is based on the fact that these transformed psykers do not know the price of using psychic abilities and modifying reality, then these psykers who are reckless, easily incited, and eager to prove themselves are obviously very useful. cannon fodder. With a little guidance, the young people with these patterns will naturally push the development of events to the trajectory of action that the Truth Society wants to see.
The information balance between the two sides has been crushed by the Truth Society from the beginning. Naturally, Otto and the others can only be treated as tools.
After some thinking, Wu Ming has already come to a conclusion: "Cannon fodder, and if Otto really came into contact with the truth a year ago, and became a psyker and began to spread the truth potion to others, then the number of cannon fodder may be greater than what we have discovered now." There are much more..."
Alex added: "Otto has just been pushed to the bright side. They have no value in continuing to use it. And the other transformed psykers are probably still being used by the Truth Council in the dark... or... The new master is being used to achieve a certain purpose..."
Although the direction of the next investigation is already available, this is undoubtedly bad news, both for Alex and Wu Ming.
These psykers hiding in the dark are like time bombs. No one knows when they will explode, and no one knows how much damage they will cause.
…………
After exchanging information with Alex and making an appointment to keep in touch if there was any progress, Wu Ming sighed and hung up the phone.
The old hunter has initially completed the weaving of the healing dream. Those psykers who were once used as cannon fodder will receive healing and the seal of extraordinary power at a speed of 1:30. In fact, it is just a seal. Seal their ability to actively use extraordinary powers, and after deleting their memories, they will not remember that they have been in contact with extraordinary powers, they will not remember how to use their psychic powers, and they will no longer be able to summon the fantasy sword. But they have been transformed into extraordinary beings, and they already have ways and means to safely vent excess extraordinary power. Even if they no longer actively use extraordinary power, their bodies can automatically complete the consumption of excess power.
It sounds very much like a blind act of self-deception, but if it were another extraordinary force, the way it would be handled would not be much different.
But this method is obviously of no use to Lin Jiaojiao. She has no way to release her extraordinary power and no means of control. Treating her in this way is undoubtedly courting death.
——It seems that I have to go to the office in the end to find out if there are any abnormal objects that can be used to solve the problem, or to delay the deterioration of Lin Jiaojiao's condition...
Wu Ming shook his head and gave up the idea of expecting Alex and the Hunting Group to find a cure, and then decided to go to the office to check if there were any abnormal objects that could solve Lin Jiaojiao's problem.
The Crimson Queen, who had been silent all this time, finally uttered a Google girl's electronically synthesized voice: "Where are you going, big brother?~"
Wu Ming's steps toward the bedroom stalled, and he turned to look at the Crimson Queen, who looked like a laptop, but had a strangely well-behaved aura.
——This guy has been silent just now and almost ended up at home like this. He has to take her with him to apply for shelter...
With this thought in mind, he reached out to pick up the Crimson Queen on the table, walked into the bedroom, and stepped into the rippled mirror: "I'll take you to see the world, and do a physical examination on the way..."
…………
Yandu, the hunting group is in the basement rented in the old city.
Alex stepped on the creaking old wooden stairs and arrived in the basement that looked like a morgue.
These psykers are still indulged in the dream woven by the hunters. In their dreams, they will cleanse all memories of the extraordinary, and step by step lock the ability to actively use extraordinary power...
Of course there was one person who did not enter the healing dream state.
"You, you, you! Don't come over! If you come over again, I will... I will... I will call someone!!!"
Seeing his companions lying on the ground neatly stacked like corpses in the basement, Otto, who was huddled in the corner in horror, screamed in horror.
