"Thank you all for coming to this meeting. This concludes this morning's meeting."
With the words of the host, the morning meeting came to an end.
The content of the meeting was not much different from before. First, the managers of each department reported on the work summary of the past quarter, and finally the mayor of Lyon gave a concluding speech.
To sum up, great progress has been made in the fight against crime, but the employment rate and people's livelihood issues still remain half-dead, and demonstrations due to unemployment have never stopped.
"Director Lu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
While the dignitaries were leaving the venue one after another, Leon Serbot came to Lu Xiang.
Before the meeting started, he received a work report of the law enforcement department submitted to him by Lu Xiang. On the surface, it looked like a normal work handover, but the content of one page made Leon very concerned.
On the evening of May 12th, "Gold Digger" bar, Offee.
This is a sticky note sandwiched between work reports. At first glance, it seems that Lu Xiang accidentally inserted this sticky note during the process of organizing documents. However, when Leon subconsciously followed the content on the sticky note, When I thought about it, I was surprised to find that I couldn't remember what I did on the night of May 12th.
This discovery made his hair stand on end.
This was definitely not forgetfulness caused by excessive stress and lack of sleep, because he could clearly remember the morning and afternoon of May 12, and the early morning of May 13. He even remembered the details of his work clearly, except for the night. It was as if hours of details had been ripped directly from his memory.
Lu Xiang nodded and took the lead in walking towards the small conference room that had been prepared in advance.
Since she could not yet determine the mental state of Mayor Lyon at the moment, she did not write the matter too clearly in the document. The reason why she chose the time to start the meeting was because she believed that the person with interference-type abilities would not be here. Let the mayor take Mecofen IV at the right time.
Mecofen IV is a hallucinogen. While the drug is taking effect, the user's brain will operate at a high speed, and the perception of the real world will be greatly reduced. Therefore, the most intuitive manifestation is that the words may appear inconsistent with the words spoken. Condition.
In the morning meeting, the mayor was going to take the stage to give a concluding speech. Taking Mecofen IV at this time was equivalent to admitting that he had a mental problem in front of all the participants.
Two minutes later, the two of them walked into the small conference room one after another. The documents prepared by Lu Xiang had been placed on the table in advance.
"Before that, I want to ask you a question."
"Um?"
"What is 85 times 85?"
Leon was stunned by this abrupt question. He hesitated for a long time, and finally had to use the calculator that came with his phone to give the answer "7225".
Seeing this, Lu Xiang felt relieved and handed the information compiled on the table to Leon, "These should be the lost parts of your memory."
In the past week, Lu Xiang carefully studied the content of Lyon's message and made time notes before each line. It can be seen from the other party's fragmentary notes that he actually started taking Mecofen a long time ago. Ⅳ.
As the dose increased and the influence of interference-type ability users increased, his memory became more and more confusing.
"What did you mean by the question you just asked?"
Leon asked before reading the information.
There must be a profound meaning to this question that he could not understand yet. He was sure that Lu Xiang's purpose of calling him here was definitely not to discuss some interesting arithmetic problems with him.
"This is the characteristic of Mecofen IV."
Lu Xiang said, "While it has a hallucinogenic effect, it forces the brain to think at a high level, the biggest manifestation of which is the computing power. After taking Mecofen IV, the user can mentally calculate this in just a moment. The answer to the question."
The mayor of Lyon's embarrassing behavior of opening the calculator on his mobile phone proved that his current mental state is still normal.
"Someone drugged me?" Leon understood Lu Xiang's intention at once. Although he had never heard of Mecofen IV, this drug was probably the culprit that caused his memory loss. "That note? To hint that I went to the Gold Diggers bar on the night of May 12th and met Aoife."
He immediately realized the extent of the problem.
During his tenure, he has tried his best to distance himself from the gold diggers led by Offee. At least so far, no one knows about his previous relationship with Offee.
Only after a serious problem occurred would he take a huge risk and go to the "Gold Digger" bar to seek help from Aoife.
Leon finished reading the information without saying a word, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
If it had been anyone else, he would have immediately become furious and threatened to thoroughly investigate the secretary and arrest the person who drugged him.
That's anyone's first reaction.
However, the reason why he appears here now and has completely forgotten what happened at home means that he has probably tried to do this before, but ended in failure.
So Leon was not in a hurry to speak. He waited patiently for Lu Xiang's suggestion.
"Mecrofen IV is extremely addictive. In your current state, it is difficult to refuse this drug with willpower. The normal course of treatment takes a month, so if you want to return to normal, you must ensure that you You cannot be exposed to this drug again for a month. During the treatment process, your emotions will fall into an extremely unstable state. This is reflected in the fact that any small thing may cause you to become angry, and people around you will definitely notice it. Your changes.”
One month is the other party's brilliance.
Even if they discovered that the mayor had been taking Mecofen IV for a long time, they would not have time to implement remedial measures.
"Had I been treated, I would have missed the campaign."
Lyon-Serbot also realized the problem. People would never choose a moody person as the next mayor.
He took a deep breath and asked, "So, what if I postpone the treatment to a month later?"
"The memories you forget will become more and more until you only remember the parts the other person wants you to remember."
Mecofen IV is a drug developed for those with psychic powers. Its harm is much more serious for ordinary people. "Even if we arrest the person who drugged you and remove all external interference, if you continue Taking this drug will make it increasingly difficult to distinguish between hallucinations and reality.”
By the end of the day, users are almost indistinguishable from psychopaths.
Hallucinations may cause them to do anything unbelievable anywhere.
"I need a moment to think this through."
