Yang Ming remained silent in the car for a long time, his face dark and uncertain. After a moment, he suddenly turned the car around and slammed on the gas, heading towards Qingbei Town.
Although he didn't quite believe Fang Xiu's words, he figured it was better to be safe than sorry, especially since the other party had accurately revealed his secret of administering laxatives.
In the lounge, Fang Xiu finished the hot water in his cup and waited for a long time before Shen Lingxue finally arrived.
This time, their report was significantly longer than the last one, clearly because Fang Xiu's previous foresight had shocked them, leading them to speak more during this report.
"Fang Xiu, I'm going to conduct a mental pollution test on you next," Shen Lingxue said with a complicated expression.
Fang Xiu nodded, then picked up the spiritual lie detector and, to Shen Lingxue's astonishment, skillfully put the device on his wrist.
Shen Lingxue was stunned for two seconds before she reacted: "The first question, if..."
"I choose one: to fight the strange creature," Fang Xiu interrupted directly.
Shen Lingxue: "..."
Ignoring Shen Lingxue's stunned expression, Fang Xiu continued, "The second question is, I will not join the side of the supernatural, even if they grant me great power and a quota to protect my family, friends, and loved ones from harm, I will still not join."
My family will not side with the supernatural, because I have no family.
If Zhao Hao joins the unorthodox side and forces me to betray him, I will personally send him on his way.
The third question is, "The thing I want to do most after becoming a Spirit Master is to kill all the strange and supernatural beings in the world..."
Fang Xiu didn't even wait for Shen Lingxue to ask any questions before answering all of them in one breath.
The spiritual lie detector never beeped once.
After saying that, Fang Xiu stood up and calmly said to Shen Lingxue, who was in a state of silence, "The test is passed. Let's go see Wang Dehai."
He then left the lounge, while Shen Lingxue remained seated, lost in thought for a long time.
For a moment, it was really hard to tell who was testing whom.
........
...
Wang Dehai's office.
Upon meeting Wang Dehai, he did not introduce himself as before, but stared at Fang Xiu scrutinizingly and said, "Mr. Fang, since you already know my name, I suppose I don't need to introduce myself. Please sit down."
Fang Xiu took his seat, and Wang Dehai continued, "To be honest, Mr. Fang, even after listening to their reports, I still find it hard to believe that you can foresee the future. This level of ability far surpasses that of other Spirit Masters. I don't know if you understand what I mean. The abilities of ordinary first-tier Spirit Masters are limited to things like fire, strength, and speed, but your abilities are clearly superior to theirs."
"Are you trying to say that I'm not on the same level as them?" Fang Xiu suddenly interjected, "The ability to foresee the future shouldn't belong to a first-tier Spirit Master."
Wang Dehai nodded: "That's right. If you were a third-tier Spirit Master with the ability to accurately predict the future, I wouldn't be too surprised. But you are just a newly promoted Spirit Master. Logically speaking, even if you can predict the future, you can probably only predict what will happen in the next second or a few seconds."
But to know in advance that Xiao Shen and his group would come to our door, that they would go to the Investigation Bureau, and even that night's lottery numbers—that's rather unbelievable.
"Director Wang, have you ever considered that perhaps I am not on the same level as them? There will always be some people in this world who cannot be judged by common sense from birth?"
“Indeed, some people are born geniuses, and there are quite a few genius spirit masters. But Mr. Fang, if you see a newborn baby who can talk and even do math problems, would you consider him a genius?”
Fang Xiu smiled slightly: "Why doesn't it count?"
Wang Dehai: "......."
He took a deep breath, and for some reason, hearing the question "How can this not count?" suddenly gave him an urge to hit someone.
"Since Mr. Fang thinks so, then I have nothing more to say. By the way, Xiao Shen, where is Mr. Fang's mental pollution test report?"
Shen Lingxue seemed a bit out of it, so much so that she didn't hear what Wang Dehai said and just sat there in a daze.
Wang Dehai frowned slightly and called out again, "Xiao Shen!"
"Oh." Shen Lingxue snapped out of her daze and looked at Wang Dehai with a puzzled expression, asking, "What's wrong, Director Wang?"
"Report! Report on Mr. Fang's mental pollution test!"
Shen Lingxue subconsciously wanted to take out the report, but she was instantly stunned, realizing that she didn't seem to have written one.
Before he could even ask a question, Fang Xiu had already answered it. He was so shocked at the time that he forgot to take notes.
"I...I didn't write a report."
"Didn't write it??" Wang Dehai felt his blood pressure rising: "Xiao Shen, you're a veteran investigator, have you become this lax?"
"No, Director Wang, it's not that I didn't write a report, it's that I didn't ask the questions for the mental pollution test."
"What!?" Wang Dehai's voice rose instantly. He felt that Shen Lingxue was deliberately going against him. Not only did she not write the report, but she didn't even ask any questions.
Shen Lingxue quickly realized that her words were ambiguous and hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. I was going to ask the mind pollution test questions at first, but Fang Xiu foresaw all the questions in advance. He didn't even wait for me to ask and gave all the answers directly. Moreover, his answers were perfect, and the spiritual lie detector didn't go off."
Wang Dehai stared at Fang Xiu in shock, speechless for a long time.
After a moment, he asked, "Mr. Fang, even if you can truly foresee the future, don't you expend energy? Can you predict the future so easily?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "Knowing the future doesn't consume much, but it comes at a great cost."
"The price?" Wang Dehai asked with a hint of curiosity.
“Spiritual out of control.”
Upon hearing these four words, Wang Dehai and Shen Lingxue's expressions changed slightly.
Because spiritual loss of control is something every spirit master has to face; in fact, the investigation bureau has suffered extremely heavy losses due to spiritual loss of control in the past.
"Mr. Fang, are you saying that every time you foresee the future, the risk of spiritual loss of control increases?" Wang Dehai asked solemnly.
