159. Doubt
Shen Zhihe raised his hand and pushed open the office door. What came into view was Qin Lan sitting behind the desk, flipping through the list of members of the Salvation Alliance. She was trying to select the first batch of people to join the Salvation Alliance in the future.
Qin Lan raised her head and looked at her companion who walked in:
"You said you wanted to talk to me"
Shen Zhihe had no intention of immediately coming to Qin Lan to find out what had troubled him these days, because he didn't want the other party to feel that he didn't trust her and Ma En, but he had been tossing and turning over this problem for the past few days, making it difficult to sleep normally.
"Well, I'm just a little worried." Shen Zhihe said calmly, "We have a very complex and comprehensive testing process, most of which are close to perfect, but I noticed a tiny problem in it.
.
"Some of these tests were performed by Marn - he would delete our memories related to the moon, but does this mean that the tests he received were actually flawed compared to us?"
Qin Lan replied:
"He will also delete himself regularly."
Shen Zhihe nodded:
"Yes, he can certainly undergo amnestic deletion, but we have no way of supervising him, right?
"I'm not doubting Ma En, but our opponent is a V-level spiritual god. If we only count on him, it is not in line with our caution in other aspects. Moreover, among us, Ma En is not the most spiritual at the level.
The strong one.
"If you consider the possibility of being invaded by Luna, I will definitely not be worse than him in terms of resistance.
"So I have a suggestion. Maybe I can be responsible for his amnesia deletion and other psychic testing. Otherwise, in a strict sense, he will be a loophole in the Camarilla of Salvation."
Of course there will be no problem with Ma En, and he is more reliable than other members of the Salvation Alliance. He is the man who took himself out of Eastern New South Wales when the federal prediction machine targeted him, and there is an unfathomable mystery behind him.
Anomaly Control Bureau.
But she couldn't tell Shen Zhihe this, but fortunately Ma En had already prepared an excuse for her.
Qin Lan nodded:
"What you said makes sense, but you actually overlooked one point.
"You are indeed the only Level IV telepath among us, but this is also the reason why you cannot replace Ma En's work. First of all, our work outside requires your combat power, so you have to leave the Secret Alliance of Salvation to carry out the mission.
"But we don't need Marn's combat power, so he can stay in the Camarilla of Salvation for a long time and will never come into contact with Luna or her other derivatives, so that the risk of him being infected can be minimized.
"Secondly, Marn's memory deletion is much stronger than that of a telepath, and he can only delete memories. Even if something goes wrong, the impact will be reduced, and he can easily and directly see it.
"And if a level IV telepath like you is bribed by the Moon God, he can cause much more damage in the timed detection than Man."
He nodded:
"I see."
Shen Zhihe was basically satisfied with Qin Lan's answer. Although what she said was a bit rude, he did not rule out the possibility that he might stand on the opposite side of the Secret Alliance of Salvation. Nothing in this world would not happen.
He is willing to use his own life to defend the ideals of the Skywalker, but if anyone can bring his daughter back from the dead, Shen Zhihe will not hesitate to sell his soul and life to the devil.
But this is impossible. He had already tried to search for signs of his daughter's soul when she just died, and got the answer that she was completely dead.
Life and death are one of the most important laws in the world, and those who can break it in a real sense will not pay attention to it.
"Then I will go on to search for the ability user that Ma En wants." After saying these words, Shen Zhihe walked out of the room and immediately returned to reality. However, he did not carry out the task as he said.
Get close to other people's hearts.
A mind not much weaker than a Level IV telepath.
Shen Zhihe opened the door and walked into a coffee shop from the 1980s.
A middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples was sitting on a chair and waiting. There was a restrained fierceness in his eyebrows. He tried to soften his expression, but he could not abandon the temperament he had developed over the years.
This middle-aged man is Tao He, but he looks much younger.
As a level IV wizard, Tao He has good mental strength and is also very good at resisting spiritual invasions. Even Shen Zhihe cannot easily enter his mind, but he has already greeted him in advance.
Already.
"You looked quite ferocious when you were young." Shen Zhihe sat down opposite the old man.
"At that time, I had many wrong ideas and was trapped by the crimes I had committed." Tao He said, "Don't talk about my past, let's talk about you.
"Is there anything I must say here?"
Shen Zhihe said:
"I have some thoughts recently.
"You still remember my earliest doubts about Ma En and Qin Lan. I was actually convinced by them at that time, but during this time I always felt that there were still many doubts about the Secret Alliance of Salvation itself.
"Ma En should have mentioned to you his secret plan, as well as the regular testing we received. Although they gave reasons, when I think about it carefully, I always think of one thing - all their basis
It's all one-sided.
"In the containment room and the spider, we can't prove whether the information they gave is true or false. If you think about it again...
"If these are all lies, they can definitely use this set of tests to influence and control our minds, and they can also be used to cover up other secrets."
The old man asked:
"Do you want to tell me to be more careful too?"
Shen Zhihe shook his head:
"No, I do doubt them, but that's not why I came to you.
"Because after thinking about it rationally, I determined that apart from these so-called 'doubts', there is no substantial evidence to support it.
"This is also the reason why I came to you. I already don't know whether what I am doing is right or wrong, but you are a trustworthy elder who has experienced all kinds of things.
"So I want to ask, do you think my current suspicion is normal?"
Tao He thought for a while and said:
"You also said that the fact is that you have no reason to be suspicious, but I can understand that you would think so. This is indeed what you would do. After the Federation betrayed us, your suspicion helped us survive successfully.
Now."
Shen Zhihe nodded:
"Since you said so, I will remain suspicious of Ma En and Qin Lan, and will continue to be alert and investigate further. And I want to ask you to do one thing...
"That means being suspicious of me."
Tao He said in surprise:
"you mean……"
Shen Zhihe said:
"Although suspicion is necessary, sometimes it will lead to results that neither party expects. If what Ma and En are saying is true, there is a spiritual entity in the outside world that is eyeing us, so I am afraid that I will be raped because of this.
God finds opportunity.
"But I also trust my own intuition. These suspicions cannot be unfounded. Maybe there are some issues that I have not yet accurately realized that have caused these thoughts in me. Maybe Ma En and Qin Lan really have something they are not telling us.
"In this situation, you are the only person I can trust."
The old man nodded:
"I understand, leave it to me."
Shen Zhihe stood up gratefully:
"Thank you."
He turned around and walked out of Tao He's spiritual world.
Returned to a familiar house.
