"Xu Zhiyi?"
Jia Zhengyi tilted his head, somewhat puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions and obediently used his superpower.
"Then let's do as the boss says and see what this woman named Xu Zhiyi is really thinking..."
Jia Zhengyi murmured, a layer of ink appearing on the lens of his glasses, pitch black.
Su Lin observed carefully and suddenly realized that this was not a change on the mirror, but rather that Jia Zhengyi's eyes were completely black and were emitting a black light that was reflected onto the mirror.
"He seems to have entered a strange state, like his soul has left his body."
Xiao Linlin lowered her voice beside him, as she could sense more details and unusual things. Su Lin nodded calmly and continued to observe.
"The boss's memories of this woman during the game... the first time they met... what she said... what she did..."
Jia Zhengyi was still muttering, his voice growing softer and softer, so soft that Su Lin had to concentrate to hear him clearly.
"...Let me see through the fog in her heart!"
Jia Zhengyi stared wide-eyed, the light emanating from his dark pupils growing increasingly intense, almost spilling onto his face.
"Ambition!"
Jia Zhengyi spoke reflexively, and before Su Lin could ask, he continued with his assessment: "Unity by any means necessary! Sacrifice for faith!... But the level of threat seems to be very low."
These words sound very much in line with Jia Zhengyi's description of his superpower effects, making it a "vague" judgment.
Su Lin waited quietly. Jia Zhengyi's superpower did not last long. Soon, the strange light in his eyes subsided, and he returned to normal. A deep look of fatigue appeared on his originally energetic face.
"Boss, I've finished my reconnaissance..."
What was the result?
Su Lin looked at Jia Zhengyi and casually tossed him a bottle of white oral liquid: "Drink this to restore your strength."
"Thank you, boss."
Jia Zhengyi took it, and while taking it orally, he recalled his feelings during the investigation: "Hmm... Based on the current investigation results, first of all, she is a very ambitious woman! She has an uncertain pursuit in her heart, and she is willing to do anything for this pursuit."
Jia Zhengyi paused, seemingly organizing his words and thinking about how to make his boss understand what he was saying.
Unfortunately, the effect of his special ability lies more in "sensation," and only he himself truly understands "sensation," which is difficult to describe in words.
What is she pursuing?
Xiao Linlin pressed for details, and Jia Zhengyi shook his head: "I can't see clearly, but it's probably something very powerful."
"Things? Do you mean concrete objects?"
“It’s not a physical object; I feel it’s something akin to faith. I sensed the quality of sacrifice within it.”
"sacrifice!"
Xiao Linlin glanced at Su Lin, and the two looked at each other, both thinking of Xu Zhiyi's death in the last match.
From Su Lin's perspective, she did indeed sacrifice herself for Su Lin.
"Then why did she give me the peace stone? At that time, she could have taken the peace stone away herself."
Su Lin spoke in a deep voice, and Jia Zhengyi replied, "From what I sensed, she didn't care about the stone. In that instant, she realized that the boss's value was higher than the peace stone, so she chose to sacrifice herself."
This answer is similar to Xiao Linlin's analysis.
"One last question: Does her position conflict with mine? Will her pursuit have a good or bad impact on me?"
"Boss, this question involves a time period that is too far in the future. Unless you use a superpower like divination, you can't do it. I'm just a scout."
Jia Zhengyi had a long face; his reconnaissance of creatures was more focused on the current state of friend or foe.
Simply put, if someone were to impersonate someone and try to harm Su Lin, Jia Zhengyi could see through it instantly.
If this person intends to harm Su Lin at some point in the future, but doesn't have that intention now, then Jia Zhengyi naturally wouldn't be able to see through it.
After all, this is a side effect of his superpower, not his main [reconnaissance] ability.
"Then let's not make any predictions about the future, just state your opinion."
Su Lin didn't press the issue, and Jia Zhengyi quickly gave his answer: "At least for now, she doesn't have any influence on the boss. She's neither good nor bad; it seems like they're just two separate things."
"Her stance and pursuits are completely different from those of her boss."
Jia Zhengyi paused for a moment, then added, "She lives her life, and we live ours. If you're worried, just ignore her from now on."
"Okay, that's enough for now. Thank you for your hard work."
Su Lin nodded. He was just testing Jia Zhengyi's abilities to see if they were useful; at least for now, they seemed quite strong.
After all, the ability to "detect friend or foe" is inherently biased towards bypassing the "cause" and directly seeing the "effect," which can be very useful in certain situations.
"So, boss, what else do you need me to do next?"
"Take a break!"
Xiao Linlin spoke up first, smiling as she reminded them, "We're in the waiting area now, it's rest time, you can play whatever you want."
"really."
Su Lin nodded: "There are many industries and areas in the waiting area. You can take a look if you are interested. If you need money, you can use resource coins directly. My followers have this authority."
Su Lin authorized his subordinate units with relevant powers, including the power to use resource coins and utilize warehouse assets.
After all, if you want people to work, you have to give them some benefits. You can't just take advantage of their absolute loyalty and exploit them to the point of exhaustion.
Moreover, from the perspective of loyalty, having power as a follower would only make him better serve Su Lin, and would not actually squander Su Lin's fortune.
