Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 711 Worried citizens

The first district is really getting more and more unsafe.

Looking out the window at the darkening sky again, Song Lan felt deeply worried about the future of the city. Not long ago, he heard that a big case had occurred in the counterintelligence department.

Members of the RTS went berserk and killed several counterintelligence agents before being shot.

"I remember you said before coming to District [-] that this is one of the safest cities in the coalition government."

he opened his mouth to speak.

But now, he felt that the law and order of these two cities might not be as good as that of the [-]th District. At least the [-]th District had never had a civil war, and there had never been a situation where two public agencies were at war.

And with their joint efforts, the [-]th District is now in a stage of steady and positive development.

"I also said that the second district is also the safest city."

Lu Xiang didn't deny this, she sat on the bed very calmly, "Until you came."

Now she has discovered the common ground of the deteriorating law and order in a city, and from this she finally realized why before she graduated and was transferred to the [-]th District, it was evaluated as the city with the worst law and order in the coalition government.

Because that's where Song Lan lived.

"Your words don't sound right. Why did you make it like I caused it?"

Song Lan must emphasize that he didn't mess with anyone, and he didn't do anything illegal, at least before Lu Xiang was transferred here. The blame can only be blamed on the then underground emperor Mr. Chai Ke and the Foster family for colluding, and even the former supervisor was their lackey.

"If everyone can learn from me, every city will have a better tomorrow."

Song Lan firmly believed in this.

At least a sharp drop in crime rates will become an ironclad fact.

"I believe that even Hogg has begun to learn from you."

The reason why they knew what happened to the counterintelligence department was because Hogg Foster told them about it at the first time. Now Hogg is probably more worried than Song Lan. After giving them When he sent the message, he had already embarked on a journey to find the person with the evil substitute ability.

"How is he now? It's been more than half an hour since he sent a text message."

"He went to a research institution for psychics. He has some friendship with Jiu, and wanted to see if those experts could provide some clues."

With Hogg running around, he and Lu Xiang could rest in the room of the Galaxy Transportation Company with peace of mind.

Facts have proved that if Mr. Hogg is willing to use the resources at his disposal to solve cases, he will have a unique advantage over law enforcement officers. Even the director of the law enforcement department in the first district cannot consult the spiritual ability research institute this matter.

"Will he ever go back to normal?"

Lu Xiang was silent for a while, and asked a question full of academics.

She didn't know if Mr. Hogg returned to his original state one day and looked back on what he did in the first district these days, would he regard this experience as a black history that could not be erased in his life.

He firmly believes that he is a stand-in messenger.

Embark on a journey with a psychiatrist to investigate an evil stand-in.

Even she, a bystander, felt embarrassed for Hogg, but he himself seemed to enjoy it. Even if Song Lan didn't reply to his messages very often, he would tell them the news he had investigated as soon as he made progress.

In Hogg's words, if he wants to continue this investigation, he must let the shadow that hangs over the first district disappear.

Even if he unfortunately died during the investigation, Song Lan and Lu Xiang could still inherit his will.

"do not know."

Song Lan shook her head, "But I hope he will always be like this."

In this way, he may not have to go through the sadness of parting ways with his friends again. Among the friends he knows, Mr. Hogg has been counted as the group that has lived for a long time, and every day he lives is refreshing his life. own survival record.

"Actually, he is somewhat similar to those affected by the ability to 'dominate'."

Under the influence of their abilities, those people have gone to extremes, and they themselves have become as aggressive and militant as "Domination". Even people with an obedience index over 90 will raise their guns and shoot at their superiors.

Rather than saying that "Domination" gave them a certain power to fight against the world, it would be better to say that it gave these people courage.

Inspire them to fulfill those thoughts that are usually hidden in their deepest hearts.

"I think this may have something to do with the personality of the holder of the disturbing psychic power. Your personality is generally peaceful."

Lu Xiang always felt that Song Lan's character was a bit subtle.

He is the kind of person who can never do anything if he does not do it, but once he does, he never leaves anyone alive.

It's no wonder that before she came to District [-], she never thought that there was such a person in the coalition government. Perhaps besides Chai Ke and Drago-Saffron, many of Song Lan's friends had disappeared, but No one knows where they went.

She had to remind Song Lan, "But if he continues to investigate this clue, he will finally investigate 'Jiang'. Once they meet...Hogg will die."

Lu Xiang didn't know if what Hogg said in the text message was a joke, but the person he was investigating now was indeed a murderous monster, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

"It's useless for us to investigate."

Song Lan shook his head helplessly, "It's been avoiding me all the time. Although it doesn't know why, it seems to be aware of my existence."

Otherwise, he would have brought this matter to an end as early as the Iris Consortium.

One time may be a coincidence, but "Domination" seems to be able to avoid him at critical moments every time, and it is also a remote operation type ability, without the need to show up in person, you can achieve your goals through those puppets that are "dominant" by it .

In the past few fights, the opponent has made full use of this characteristic and never actively showed up in front of him.

And even if it was him, it was impossible to kill a person who was not even sure of his identity.

Unless he emulates "Domination" and triggers a psionic storm that destroys the entire First District, but this is obviously not what an enthusiastic citizen should do.

He suspects that this has something to do with the aggregates of consciousness, or that, as Delta said, they can actually sense something from the whispers.

"Domination" used to be the most fanatical follower of Whispers, and even regarded them as "father".

It faithfully followed the guidance of Whisper, and completed every task assigned to it by Whisper, even if these tasks eventually caused it to turn itself into a psychic bomb, into a psychic storm that shocked the coalition government, it There was no complaint in my heart.

"Old Lu, I wonder if you have heard a saying?"

"Ok?"

"Remote operation type ability restrains and stops."

Even the invincible Mr. Jotaro has suffered several times from users with remote control abilities.

"No."

Lu Xiang shook his head very positively, "The coalition government has no record of time-stop ability users, nor does the rebel army."

....................................

On the other hand, Hogg's investigation continued.

The person he can think of who has the most research on psionic energy is Dove.

The latter founded the Psychic Research Institute, and was also one of the earliest researchers of the coalition government. However, their relationship is not particularly good, and only maintained at the level of understanding and being able to speak. He has been on many occasions Everyone has heard that Jiu has a strange personality and is a difficult person to get along with.

But unexpectedly, after he explained his purpose of coming, Dove welcomed him very warmly.

A lot of secret information was also called out from the database.

"The ability you describe seems familiar..."

After a long period of investigation and comparison, Jiu found a file named "Domination" from the densely packed entries, "That's right, it should be this file."

For most in the Coalition, the dark ages are years they don't want to look back on, when MPs, rescuers and ordinary people lived in fear and insecurity, never knowing which buildings would blow up, Or which neighborhood will stage a collective riot, and they are unlucky victims of these emergencies.

But Dove has always loved that era.

That was the period when research on psychic abilities was the most flourishing, and powerful psychic ability users emerged in endlessly, but now, they seem to never return to that period.

"The behavior you describe is somewhat similar to the effect of its ability in the early days."

From the statistical data, all those who opened their hearts to "Domination" died without exception, but before they died, they often achieved their innermost desires.

These long-hidden desires are often bloody and brutal. Under the guidance of "Domination", those people seem to have given up their rationality as humans and completely released their animal side.

But in the later stage, "Domination" is no longer satisfied with this, it prefers to turn those people into psychic bombs simply and rudely, and anyone who approaches them will be blown up to ashes.

"what?"

When Jiu continued to read, he suddenly froze for a moment, "The file says it is dead, and when facing the siege of the six-star rescuers, it also turned itself into a spiritual bomb, together with all those who hunted it It's all over, if only Miles was still around, he recorded all these things at the time."

"Miles?"

"A great psychic researcher and my best friend."

"Where is he now, I can send a private plane to pick him up in the first district."

"I'm afraid it won't work."

Dove shook his head regretfully, "Miles has passed away, and the Morning Star Academy held a funeral for him not long ago... But I am sure that the abilities of the dead cannot be inherited. We have been engaged in the past few years. research in this area."

The psychic ability research institute has been committed to completing the research of this technology, hoping that even if those powerful and important psychic ability users die unfortunately, they can continue their abilities through technological means.

Those abilities that completely disappear due to the death of the holder always make him sigh.

"Perhaps, they were inherited through other methods."

What Dove said made Hogg open his mind.

Suddenly he had a startling idea, and it all made sense.

"Maybe it didn't die completely at that time, but existed as an evil spirit until it was encountered by others."

He also initially regarded the double as an evil spirit attached to him.

"Are you referring to the consciousness body? Some people have indeed proposed this theory, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove its authenticity."

"Not a conscious body."

Hogg shook his head firmly, "It's a stand-in messenger."

　Small theater its 130 V:

　　On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, Tuesday afternoon.

　　That day, Song Lan had just finished her nap when she saw Lu Xiang sitting on the sofa in a daze.

　　He stepped forward and asked, "Old Lu, what are you doing?"

　　"I was thinking about traveling just now."

　　"Where are you going to travel this time?"

　　Song Lan is familiar with the roads. Although he has been to many places after meeting Lu Xiang, sometimes under the name of traveling, but in fact, he is on official business. When the official business is over, it is almost time to go back.

　　"...what image do I have in your mind?"

　　"Gentle, lovely and kind."

　　"No, don't you think I asked you to go out with me for work?"

　　"No, of course not, like last time, last time, uh..."

　　The two fell silent at the same time. Song Lan was racking his brains to mention a trip that had nothing to do with work, but he couldn't think of one.

　　"I have saved another half a month's vacation and plan to take a break."

　　In the past, she saved her leave and never applied for voluntary leave, but this time, she read the description of her honeymoon in "A Love Tip Every Day: Advanced Edition", and her mood became a little ready to move.

　　"That's just right, I also saved half a month's vacation."

　　Song Lan readily agreed.

　　"Wait a minute, when did you save your vacation?"

　　This half-month vacation was a break from her long overtime work, and she had never seen Song Lan work overtime.

　　"Just now."

　　"?"

　　"Take every day off, if you dare."
