Chapter 206 Undercurrent: Asking for votes
Director Yang Yi's usual sleepy expression was replaced by anger. After scolding him bitterly, he said angrily:
"Actually, there are only two fucking questions. First, what the fuck is this ability?"
"Second, who did it!"
Just now, his Punisher team was almost severely damaged.
If the reaction is slower, if a few people are closer to the white light, there may be irreversible consequences?
Will it... cause the contract ability to disappear permanently?
Even though most of the people in the security room have worked in the Inspectorate for many years and have experienced numerous ups and downs in their careers, they still feel scared about what just happened.
A smile suddenly appeared on Vera's face:
"I... seem to have recovered a little, and I can feel the source of the symbols fluctuating."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief... Vera also gradually recovered! She was not blocked by walls like Unpredictable, and she was not as far away as Uncle Cat. Almost her whole body was hit by white light at close range.
"As for what it is..." Vera looked thoughtful, then pursed her lips and said after a long time:
"A contract ability that can temporarily dissipate a contract... This type of ability basically cancels the contract, and it is quite rare."
"Strong white light... I don't have such an ability in my memory. Of course, this may be due to limited knowledge."
Yang Yi snorted:
"I will report this matter and apply to the headquarters for verification! You should be able to find it in the headquarters' Word of Rune files... Pandora is committed to the research of contractor monsters and has accumulated thousands of years of experience. You should be able to find records of this ability."
"No!" Mo Zhi looked up at Yang Yi, interrupted, and said what he was thinking:
"This is completely different from what we imagined. Facts have proved...this is not a contract ability!"
Everyone was suddenly startled and all looked at Mo Jie.
"Unpredictable, did you think of something? And..." Vera pondered for a few seconds, recalling his sudden warning at that time, and suddenly understood that he should have discovered something...
Unpredictable is quite attentive and can always figure out problems that others cannot see from the details... To a certain extent, within just one month of joining the team, Unpredictable has the tendency to gradually become the brains of the Punisher team.
Vera asked:
"What did you notice then?"
Unpredictable recalled and narrated at the same time:
"The changes in this woman's body should have been set by others, and the purpose is to attack our punisher! Moreover, the changes in her body are not contract abilities!"
"I came to this conclusion at the time...I thought of it when I saw Uncle Cat and Carlisle after exiting the room."
"Uncle Cat has been looking at beautiful women at the door all afternoon..."
Seeing Uncle Cat's tired eyes, his eyes suddenly froze.
"Uh, no, it's a warning at the door!" Unpredictable changed his mind: "This woman actually appeared directly in the main building of the Supervision Office. How did she pass through the gate of the Supervision Office guarded by Uncle Cat?"
"She appeared directly at the door post in the lobby on the first floor. There is definitely something wrong with this!"
"In addition to Zhuo Yeran...could there be another traitor? Did the traitor bring him in?" Yang Yi's brows had already twisted into the Chinese character "Sichuan".
The first thing he thought of was the possibility of a traitor, and he was the last to accept this conjecture—as the Director, the Supervisory Office under his supervision frequently had traitors, which was a dereliction of duty.
Unpredictably shook his head:
"It's possible she's a traitor, but I'm not sure... I'm sure there's something wrong with this woman because I used mind reading on her, and the result was that she had no voice."
"You have no voice?" Everyone looked strange.
Mo Zhi nodded firmly and recounted the entire process:
"Under normal circumstances, living Ironborn have always had mental activities. Even without deliberately thinking about certain issues, their thoughts are subconsciously moving along with the Ironborn's actions... I used mind reading to verify this before.
, this is the first time I failed in mind reading!”
"The first thing that comes to mind is that... this woman is a dead person, controlled by contractual abilities such as manipulating corpses."
"No matter what, it at least shows that this is a deliberate attack on the Supervision Office. The people behind the scenes achieved their goals through the medium of women. Later...I thought of Uncle Cat. This woman actually passed through without Uncle Cat noticing.
The gate makes me even more convinced of this!"
"As for the early warning later..." Mo Zhi pointed to the bloody scab still hanging on Carlisle's nostril and said:
"It's because of Carlisle!"
"Carlisle has always turned on his contract ability, so why didn't he notice any danger? In other words, how did this woman deceive Carlisle about his perception of danger?"
"I thought of a possibility!"
Unpredictable looked around at everyone, and his eyes fell on Carlisle again:
"Does your risk perception ability only provide early warning for dangers that you know, rather than responding to all dangers in the objective environment?"
Carlisle thought blankly for a moment:
"You mean, I can only perceive the danger I think? It seems...that's it."
Seeing that Carlisle was not sure, Mo Zhi gave an example:
"Suppose you awakened your ability when you were two years old, but you were just a child at the time and did not know the danger of electric shock...your ability would not be able to warn you of touching the power supply because of naughtiness."
Having said this, Carlisle suddenly understood and said quickly:
"Yes, it is indeed like this! I know that sharp knives are dangerous, so I can detect the danger when someone approaches with a sharp knife; I don't know what kind of boyfriend is dangerous, so... my ability cannot help me find a suitable boyfriend!"
This metaphor is quite strange and unpredictable... I looked at each other and saw a speechless emotion in everyone's eyes.
Carlisle suddenly looked strange and said doubtfully:
"But... that doesn't seem entirely right! When I attacked the Xinglong Villa nightclub yesterday, I didn't know about the teleportation array at the headquarters, but I still sensed the danger when I teleported the fifth chief."
"That's the problem!" Mo Zhi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Because your premise is that the source of symbols means the ability to contract, and the contractor is a threat, so after the contractor or the source of symbols is determined in the cognition, it will
Issue an early warning with the ability... When strong fluctuations in the source of symbols come, your early warning has arrived!"
When Yang Yi heard this, she immediately realized what Mo Zhi was expressing and was surprised: "You mean..."
Vera propped up her body and asked: "In Carlisle's understanding, powerful talisman sources are dangerous, so she can issue early warnings for corresponding talisman source fluctuations. Under this premise, she did not warn the woman approaching the Supervision Office.
so……"
"The changes in the woman's body do not come from the energy of the rune source, nor do they come from the contract ability!"
"That's right! This woman is an ordinary person!" Mo Zhi stood up and continued to explain:
"One more thing, when a woman's body emits white light, do we notice fluctuations in the symbol source? I was sure at that time that there was no fluctuation in the symbol source at all!"
Vera fell silent...seemingly recalling her feelings at that time.
Luo Qing and Rebecca quickly looked at each other, and both got a negative answer from the other's eyes...
Carlisle is even more certain:
"What Mu Zhi said is right! There was indeed no fluctuation in the source of the symbols at that time. Although the entire guard room was filled with light, there was no fluctuation in the source of the symbols."
Vera also nodded.
Luo Qing also said: "Rebecca and I searched the surroundings. The reason why we came back was because we saw the strong white light emitted here, not because we felt the fluctuation of the symbol source."
When the white light spreads, there is no fluctuation in the symbol source!
The white light emitted by the woman, which can temporarily dissipate the contractor's ability, does not come from the contract ability!
In this way...but we got an even more incredible result——
This means that women are not contracted, why can their bodies mutate, and why can they emit light that dissipates abilities?!
How can ordinary people shine, and this light can also restrict the contractor and affect the contract ability?
The inference process is actually in front of everyone, but the result is shocking!
Mozhi stood up, looked at the woman's body that had become a pile of charred coals, paused and said:
"This also negates the previous point. This woman is not manipulated by a contract-manipulating ability... If she is manipulated, the source of symbols will also fluctuate, and she will also be noticed by Carlisle! Or... the other party used a method that can conceal the manipulation of the ability!
"
He took a deep breath and said
"The current questions can be summarized... First, how did this woman arrive in front of the lobby of the Supervisory Office in a strange way?"
"Second, why does this woman have no mind? At first, I thought she was a dead person and was being manipulated... It doesn't seem right now, so... why did the mind reading fail?"
"Third, the changes in her body and the white light that occurred were not due to the contract ability, so what exactly was it?!"
"Only by understanding these three points can we follow the clues and deduce who is behind all this. Otherwise, we can only blindly guess whether it is the Southern Tribe, the Silver Hand, or someone else..."
Only by knowing what it is first can we deduce the second question through logic...who did it!
However, these three questions are before everyone at this time, and each one is difficult to answer.
Strangely passing through the door where Uncle Cat is; unable to read minds while alive; physical mutation that can temporarily dissipate the contract ability... How do you do it without being controlled by the contract ability?
This is equivalent to...an ordinary ironborn achieving the above three points!
Unbelievable.
It would be easier for people to accept it if there was some rare contract ability that dominated all of this.
The guard room fell into silence for a while...
Yang Yi immediately cursed: "I can't figure it out at all!"
"Yeah..." Vera sighed and looked at Mo Jie: "So, you realized this at that time!"
"You came to this result after derivation...you think the threat from women is not contractual ability, and there was a problem with my response at the time."
"Under normal circumstances, of course I would be wary of a woman being a contractor... However, she has nothing to do with the contract ability! The annihilation handcuffs cannot restrain the opponent, nor can the shield, and all contract items may not work."
"So, you gave me a warning and shot at a woman?"
Mozhi nodded: "Yeah. I originally wanted to kill her to stop the mutation, but unfortunately it failed."
Vera's face was extremely stern, but she said in a sincere tone:
"The facts prove that you are right!"
"After you came to an unbelievable conclusion, you were able to firmly believe it and react in a very short time... If it weren't for your reminder, I might not have had time to escape that distance, and the white light might have exploded.
He was in the closest position to a woman... at such a close distance, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Vera's gratitude was beyond words.
Mo Cai shook his head and said modestly: "Use logic to eliminate all impossibilities, and the remaining conclusion will be the truth no matter how impossible it is!"
This sentence caused everyone present to be stunned for a moment... Yang Yi looked at the unpredictable with deep eyes.
"If all impossibilities are eliminated, what remains...is the truth." Luo Qing murmured.
Unexpectedly waved his hand, changed the topic, and raised another even more disturbing prediction:
"Everyone, although we can't figure out these issues now, we can still confirm that this was a deliberate attack. The destruction of the contracted items is terrifying enough!"
"Let's assume that if this thing is mastered by some people..."
Yang Yi's heart suddenly shook, her eyes full of shock, and she continued without thinking:
"If this ghost thing is controlled by some secret organization, wouldn't even ordinary ironmen also have the means to fight against the contractor monsters and Pandora?!"
Yang Yi's words immediately reminded everyone... Anticipating the consequences that this "ghost thing" could bring, everyone's eyes showed shock.
Unpredictable: "It's not what if, it's already been controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes!"
"Because... today's attack was premeditated."
Yang Yi figured out this joint in an instant, and her whole body suddenly froze.
Since it is a deliberate plan, this thing can only be mastered by someone... The other party will most likely be an organization, because it is still very difficult for an individual to launch a similar terrorist attack.
This white light...if it can be used repeatedly, it will undoubtedly become a weapon against the Punisher, even at the cost of sacrificing the lives of the Ironborn.
Life is nothing. In the eyes of the hidden forces, life is absolutely nothing, let alone just ordinary Ironborn!
If this white light can be controlled and used in large quantities... even Pandora, who has accumulated thousands of years in the contractor world, has to face it -
In front of this white light, the contractor's advantage will be gone...
"This..." Yang Yi walked back and forth uncontrollably with her legs, and after a few laps, she stood still: "No, this matter must be reported immediately!"
With that said, he was about to walk out of the guard room.
"Director." Vera stood up and asked, "What should the Inspectorate do next?"
Yang Yi thought for a moment and said:
"Since someone is targeting us, and it's in this way... Courtney will arrange it, and the Hot Spring City Inspectorate will be on the highest alert!"
"I'm talking about the inspector... you still arrange the Punisher monsters, we have a clear division of labor!"
The security force of ordinary inspectors cannot be ignored, and it is also the only way to deal with the current situation - after all, ordinary ironmen will not be affected by white light.
"It has become increasingly unsettled recently, and there are more and more things to investigate." Vera sighed when she saw the director and Courtney going to arrange relevant matters.
As for being unpredictable, what he felt at this time was...
The entire continent of Rodinia was undercurrent, as if something big was about to happen.
