Chapter 49 He acquired Anna's spider silk control skills!
If the organization is behind this strange website, then the invitation letter is the channel to enter the organization.
What to do next is no longer up to the three of them to decide.
Jiang Mu tossed and turned all night. When the sky was just getting light, he pulled Li Xiaogou and Wang Bo out of their sleeping state and drove them back to the Special Investigation Bureau.
As Yunlou listened to their reports, he tapped the table lightly with his index finger. When he heard something unexpected or out of the ordinary, he would look up at them. There was no expression on Yunlou's face, but it made people feel inexplicably guilty.
"Report completed. We suspect this website is a channel for the organization to recruit personnel."
The three of them waited quietly for Yunlou's answer, or rather, judgment.
This is a significant breakthrough, but the means of achieving it are less than "standard."
Yunlou pondered for a moment and asked, "Did you encounter or see anything strange while answering the questions?"
Jiang Mu shook his head decisively: "No."
He didn't even hide the fact that his final test result was "World Destroyer". This is probably what it means to have a clear conscience.
Li Xiaogou asked: "Is there any problem?"
"Situ Ming, Sang Zhize, Hong Yao," Yun Lou chuckled, looking up at them, his irises darkening. "You underestimate these ordinary people."
"Even the superpowers in the bureau need to undergo a period of psychological counseling after their first murder. Killing is not an easy task."
"After killing someone, a person becomes very different. According to your investigation, these people had already taken lives before they encountered these websites. Their defenses are not something that can be broken down by a few simple psychology tests."
"Behind these questions, there may be a hidden psychic. His abilities may be related to hypnosis or mind control."
Li Xiaogou had also guessed in this direction. As long as it was done by a human, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"What happened to you?" Yunlou was terribly perceptive.
Li Xiaogou shook his head. His past was simply inexplicable.
Yunlou didn't delve into it further: "I'll hand the website over to the Information Department for investigation. You guys take a couple of days off."
"Well done." He paused.
They all tacitly agreed not to mention the fact that Hong Yao was beaten.
The more Li Xiaogou got to know Yunlou, the more unpredictable he felt. If it were Yunlou he had just met, he would definitely not agree with their approach. Was his previous understanding of Yunlou wrong, or had Yunlou changed?
During the break, the three of them went to climb Qingyun Mountain. Wang Bo was scared and screamed on the glass plank bridge on the top of the mountain. Jiang Mu took a picture and said he would send it to his colleagues. Suddenly, Wang Bo was no longer afraid and chased him all over the mountain.
In the end, both of them were punished by the monkey brother from Qingyun Mountain. One of them was hit on the back of the head, and his small bag was looted. When he came back with his head drooped, Li Xiaogou laughed so hard that tears flew out of his eyes.
Li Xiaogou took a photo of the two of them, thought about it, and sent it to Mo Shang.
Mo Shang doesn't contact them much now, but Li Xiaogou feels that he can see this information.
After working, no one will complain that the vacation is too long.
I thought I could rest for two more days, but I didn't expect Yunlou to come to my door so soon.
He was wearing a gray suit and looked very formal.
Li Xiaogou glanced at his wrinkled gray pajamas and silently retreated behind the door, only sticking his head out to ask in a muffled voice, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming, Captain Yun? Jiang Mu went home and Wang Bo isn't up yet. Did you have breakfast?"
The corners of Yunlou's lips curled up, revealing a hazy smile, but when Li Xiaogou looked carefully, the smile had disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.
"It's almost noon."
Li Xiaogou rubbed his noisy hair, feeling a little embarrassed: "We had these two days off and played games all night long."
Yunlou nodded. He took off his gloves, took out a rectangular silver nameplate the size of a knuckle, and handed it to Li Xiaogou: "I'm giving this to you on the way."
There was a cold fragrance on the nameplate, which was the smell of Yunlou. Li Xiaogou moved the nameplate and after seeing the words clearly, he opened his eyes wide silently.
Yunlou smiled upon seeing this. "Congratulations. You are the fastest person to be promoted to team leader since the establishment of the Special Investigation Bureau."
"Although the Ministry of Information has not yet completely cracked the website, this is undoubtedly a major breakthrough."
"Jiang Mu and Wang Bo also contributed a lot to this matter." Li Xiaogou said.
"Indeed." Yunlou nodded, "But I recommended you for the position of team leader."
Li Xiaogou: "Why?"
Yunlou pursed his lips and asked, "What kind of position does a team leader hold?"
...How does he know?
Yunlou: "It's a position to take the blame."
...He really doesn't know, is it too late to return it now?
Yunlou seemed to be able to see through his thoughts: "It's too late to return it now. The Special Investigation Bureau has many rules. They restrict our power as psychics to do whatever we want, but they also limit the methods of our investigations. When the investigation reaches a bottleneck, these rules and power need to be traded off."
Li Xiaogou: "But I'm not sure what I did this time is right."
Yunlou smiled and said, "There is no right or wrong."
"If you cross the line, you will be punished. But if you find clues, you will be rewarded. The two can exist at the same time."
"You are the one most likely to make the right decision among the three of you, so I recommend you for the position of team leader."
After giving him the things, Yunlou said goodbye: "Go back to the bureau tomorrow. Your first mission as a team leader is waiting for you."
Li Xiaogou watched Yunlou walk to the side of the car. The driver opened the door for him. He put his right hand on the roof to prevent Yunlou from hitting his head, and his left hand was loosely covering his side.
After a moment of hesitation, Li Xiaogou found the answer to the question he hadn't asked.
He wanted to ask why he was not punished for crossing the line this time.
It turned out that it wasn't that there was no punishment, but that someone took it for him.
Neither Wang Bo nor Jiang Mu showed any unusual emotions because of Li Xiaogou's promotion. If they had to say something, it might be sympathy.
Li Xiaogou: "...I got a raise, aren't you two envious at all?"
Wang Bo patted his shoulder and said, "Jiang Mu's parents and I are both from the Special Investigation Bureau. I won't go into the rest, you can experience it yourself."
Li Xiaogou knew that they were afraid that he would think too much, so they were trying to reassure him in their own way, and he was happy to play along with them in this drama.
The next day, the three of them reported on their work together and received new tasks.
Yunlou: "You all participated in the capture of Puppet Master Anna, and you are familiar with her previous cases, so this mission is given to you."
"She remained uncooperative during interrogation, and only recently provided a list of people under her control. The bureau cross-referenced her social circle and narrowed it down for you."
"Your mission is to find out which of these people are truly controlled by her. You must not arrest the wrong ones, but you must not let any of them go."
At this point, Yunlou's tone softened a bit: "This is your first case as team leader. You are allowed to make a request."
Li Xiaogou: "Can I meet the puppeteer?"
Yunlou agreed.
Interrogations at the puppeteer level are the highest level of secrets in the bureau, and participants are all at the rank of deputy captain and above.
When Li Xiaogou arrived at the interrogation room, Du Tu was inside.
This was the first time the two met after the air-raid shelter incident.
Li Xiaogou paused when he saw Du Tu from afar. At this moment, Yunlou said softly, "Let's go."
Li Xiaogou hurriedly followed.
On the other hand, Du Tu, who was worthy of being a captain, saw Li Xiaogou and Yun Lou coming together, and made room for them with a smile, as if nothing had happened between them.
"I'll be standing guard outside. Call me if you have any questions."
After saying that, Yunlou closed the door, and only Li Xiaogou and puppeteer Anna were left in the room.
Li Xiaogou wanted to see Anna for two reasons.
First, he had a guess that he wanted to verify.
Second, he wanted to find out about the website.
Anna's hands and feet were bound by special materials and she was unable to use her supernatural powers.
From the outside, she didn't have any obvious scars on her body, but Li Xiaogou was not naive enough to think that she had been living a comfortable life recently.
Anna knew that Li Xiaogou was coming. Maybe she had been tortured for so long that she had no energy to speak, or maybe she wished that everyone in the Special Investigation Bureau would die on the spot. She simply disdained to talk to him. In short, Anna glanced at him and turned her head away, ignoring him.
Just as he intended.
Li Xiaogou didn't say anything either. He tried to wake up the system and use it on Anna.
In the darkness, the corners of his lips slowly rose.
His guess was correct!
He had used the melon-eating system to eat a lot of melons about Anna's different identities before, but he had never eaten the melon of Anna's true form, the puppeteer.
Now that the Puppet Master has been caught, his influence on the world line will definitely be reduced.
Li Xiaogou thought so and decided to try the melon-eating system.
I didn’t see many melons, but I did get to eat some.
After a quick look, Li Xiaogou chose the emotional melon with the highest level of secrecy.
After finishing the meal, Li Xiaogou felt mixed emotions. It turned out that the puppeteer's deep hatred for men came from here.
In his youth, puppeteers were also innocent and yearned for love.
Humans are often attracted to individuals who are completely different from themselves. The good girl Anna fell in love with a yellow-haired man.
Every time I saw Huangmao, he was running away, followed by the head teacher chasing him.
Once, he accidentally bumped into Anna who was on duty. The head teacher had already caught up with him. The boy overturned the mop bucket and the water spilled everywhere. When it was about to wet Anna's skirt, the boy picked her up and put her on the clean lawn.
Everything happened so fast that before Anna could react, the boy was already squatting in front of her, wiping her shoes with his sleeves.
From picking her up with the ease of pulling onions out of dry land to polishing her shoes, the boy's actions had nothing to do with the word gentle. But when he stood up and looked at Anna with a smile, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and cast a halo on the boy's yellow hair.
Anna heard her heart skip a beat.
After a brief intersection, the lives of the two returned to their respective tracks, but Anna couldn't control herself and her eyes always fell on the boy involuntarily.
He was late again today and was punished by the head teacher by being made to run laps around the playground.
Anna found that many girls were like her, looking at the playground from time to time. It turned out that she was not an undiscovered gem that no one cared about.
Anna is a stubborn person. After confirming her feelings and realizing that she has many potential rivals, she decided to take action.
So she wrote a love letter to the boy and stuffed it into his desk drawer while on duty.
Then Anna waited. The night had never seemed so long to her. She longed so much for school to come early.
The next day, she went to school happily. During breaks, she passed by the boys' classroom countless times inadvertently. It was not until lunch break that she happened to hear the boys' comments about her.
Two simple words - "boring".
Li Xiaogou couldn't feel the other person's emotions when he was eating melon, but Anna must be very sad because her sky darkened and her memories came to an abrupt end.
He came here to eat melons, but he didn't expect to eat such melons. Li Xiaogou stood up, and for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation.
Just then, Yunlou outside the door knocked gently.
Li Xiaogou understood that this was a reminder that he didn't have much time left.
He quickly asked the questions he had prepared: "Isn't your totem a triangular ouroboros? Why is the logo on that website a hexagram?"
He didn't specify which website it was, partly because he was certain Anna knew it, and partly because he wanted to trick her.
Anna looked at him with big eyes and suddenly smiled. Her voice was hard and completely different from before: "You saw something that they couldn't see. Are you afraid?"
"What is it?" Li Xiaogou asked.
"The destroyer cannot escape his fate." Anna stared at him intently and spoke word by word.
Li Xiaogou couldn't get anything out of Anna no matter how much he asked. Anna just kept repeating the same thing.
"It's time to go." Yunlou said outside the door.
Li Xiaogou walked to the door and looked at Anna deeply. When this woman was brought here, her soul had already died, and what was left was a meaningless empty shell.
However, it was at this glance that Li Xiaogou suddenly had an idea.
The current level of the Watermelon Eating System can copy up to three abilities. He has already copied Wang Zheng’s boxing skills, and there are two chances left.
The prerequisite for copying skills is to be able to eat the opponent's melon, so, can he copy Anna's skills now?
Suppressing his wildly beating heart, Li Xiaogou immediately used the melon-eating system in his heart.
Done!
He gained Anna's spider silk control skills!
Although the control time and mental strength requirements are longer, this is definitely an unexpected skill that can turn the tide of battle at critical moments.
When he returned to the Special Investigation Bureau lobby, Wang Bo and Jiang Mu had already finished breakfast and were waiting for him.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaogou asked, looking at the two people's sad faces.
Wang Bo sighed deeply: "Oxen and horses, oh cows and horses."
Jiang Mu handed Li Xiaogou a notebook. Li Xiaogou opened it puzzled and found that the thick notebook was full of names.
"What's this?"
"This is the list Anna gave me, after screening."
Wang Bo grabbed the notebook and flipped through it. "Is this a list? This is a dictionary! If we look up one a day, we won't be able to finish it in a year!"
Complaints are welcome, but what needs to be investigated still needs to be investigated.
Jiang Mu suggested that they first check those lists where several people were gathered together, so that they could be eliminated at once.
Soon they locked onto their first target.
"Well, tennis referee Zou Cheng, these are all well-known tennis players, we can check them together."
Wang Bo excitedly said, "I know this guy! He's been making dirty calls in a few games lately. People on the forums are speculating that he owes money to someone because of gambling. Could he be being manipulated by the organization to do this?"
Li Xiaogou said, "Let's go and take a look and you'll know."
