Be cautious when getting to know someone, know (part of) the inside story, and be a unique and reliable person.
When several key words came together, Wang Xiao thought of a psychologist he had met a few days ago.
Of course, this is only the other party's apparent identity. In private, the other party is a missionary of God, and I am a believer who was personally recruited by the other party.
The omnipotent Dr. Lin should know something.
With this thought in mind, Wang Xiao left the headquarters and headed for the new address that Lin Qingliu had given him when they had a private conversation some time ago.
Arriving at the end of the Fourth Commercial Street, Wang Xiao easily found Lin Qingliu’s new home.
A hunchbacked man with dark circles under his eyes just walked out.
Seeing Wang Xiao appear at the door, Lin Qingliu was surprised for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully and welcomed him in.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Arriving at the innermost consulting room, Lin Qingliu asked very naturally.
He leaned back in his chair, looking up and down at Wang Xiao, who seemed to have become stronger again.
"There are some things, doctor."
Wang Xiao sat on the edge of the bed and chose not to lie down.
He organized his words and gave a brief explanation of the matter that everyone had forgotten.
At the end of his words, he raised his head and looked at Lin Qingliu.
"Doctor, do you remember her?"
"Yes, of course I do."
Lin Qingliu tapped the tabletop casually with the tip of his pen:
"Isn't he the superpower who can subjectively control the speed of time?"
"Great, I knew you wouldn't forget it."
Wang Xiao immediately became excited. The previous few hours had been weird and depressing for him.
For a super-powered person like him, external attacks are not that scary. But just like being affected a little bit in the wilderness, mental attacks are always hard to guard against.
What's more terrifying is not that you are influenced and controlled, but that you are the only one who is different. After all, for most people, only a small number of people are the ones who are influenced...
Looking at the excited believers, Lin Qingliu cleared his throat:
"Let me tell you a little thing. Shi Jin is also one of ours."
"ah?"
Wang Xiao felt a little confused for a moment.
He was indeed interested in the other party's ability to grow quickly, but to say that the other party and he were genuine accomplices was still a bit...
Something is wrong, and it’s very wrong!
After dinner two days ago, the other party clearly exchanged secret signals with me, and it seemed that he also had doubts about my ability to grow quickly.
But he himself had never heard of that secret code.
Is it because I joined too early and am not clear about the subsequent processes?
Or is it that the so-called "believers" have something to do with that holy fire?
Wang Xiao thought about it and decided to tell Lin Qingliu about what happened in the past few days, emphasizing on repeating the incoherent code.
"Well, that's how it is."
Lin Qingliu resisted the urge to raise his lips and replied seriously:
"It's true that Shi Jin is one of ours, but she's quite special.
"She doesn't know she's one of ours."
This is so special...
Wang Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment. He just felt that his brain seemed insufficient after being strengthened by his body.
But the point now is not which side Shi Jin belongs to, but...
“So, why do you think everyone has forgotten about her?
"I felt very strange for a moment last night, but it disappeared after I woke up. I don't know if it has anything to do with this incident."
After hearing the other party talking about something he was interested in, Lin Qingliu asked Wang Xiao about his feelings at the time and got a response similar to his own.
As a combination of multiple ability channels, it is reasonable for Lin Qingliu to feel very close to Wang Xiao in this regard. I just don’t know if other believers have any special feelings about this.
Thinking of this, he also understood why nothing strange happened after he woke up last night -
Because that kind of external interference did not have a substantial impact on myself, and other affected people could not notice it, that's why I had the feeling of confusion when I drew my sword and looked around last night.
"It seems that there must be some kind of power in Hope City. This may be a super-powered person..."
Lin Qingliu was halfway through his speech when he thought of the remote control device in Luke's arm, and continued to add:
"It could also be some powerful technological product that we don't yet understand, which is in the hands of those congressmen."
"In short, it can be confirmed that Shi Jin does exist, and she seems to have been transferred to a certain congressman recently. This is not your problem, and you are not mentally ill. You can continue your mission."
Wang Xiao felt relieved after receiving the affirmation. His teammates were not replaced and there was nothing wrong with his brain. It was just that most people were affected. This outcome was already good.
The two of them talked for a while, Lin Qingliu pretended to write a few lists, and then sent Wang Xiao away.

Central spire, meeting room.
"The device is functioning normally, and the suggestions have been implanted in the residents' minds.
"In the days that follow, without external stimulation, they will rarely take the initiative to think of or mention any topics related to the exploration plan."
An old voice came from under the hood, calmly recounting the facts that made the hair on the ground stand on end.
"Don't forget to monitor the people in the three major institutions and find out those who have behaved abnormally in the past two days..."
Another person whose face could not be seen clearly said.
"I know, I'm not that old yet, but I think this kind of surveillance is totally unnecessary..."
“That may have been the case in the past, but it is necessary now.”
A young voice suddenly came from Councillor Nia.
"We all know that there is an organization called The Believers operating in secret. They may have a different power from ours, which is why our plans have failed time and again."
"Hmph, do you think this is possible? We all know that this is just an incompetent excuse. It is impossible for there to be a power higher than our level here. If there is, it definitely does not belong to humans."
Soon, a hooded old man started to speak sarcastically to Nia, but Nia didn't seem angry at all. Instead, she said in a tone of stating the facts:
"I still say the same thing. Anyone who came here would be defeated under the circumstances. If you are not convinced, you are welcome to catch the tail of that [believer].
"But let me be frank. They are not that easy to deal with. If someone here suddenly disappears, don't blame me for not warning them in advance."
"Alright, alright, let's talk about the device first. It has been used only a few times and we have no way to maintain it. We need to be more cautious when using it next time."
A middle-aged man with a moustache began to smooth things over and redirect the conversation in another direction.
"I have no objection. Anyway, everyone has things that need to be handled by the [device]. It is best to accumulate more before activating it."
Nia spread her hands as if it didn't matter.
