Midnight Forest Bar, VIP Lounge of Second Floor.
Soft and soothing jazz music flows in the air, and the dim lights illuminate the room in an ambiguous and stylish way.
Fang Cheng sank lazily into the soft Genuine Leather sofa, looking at the cleaned environment around him casually.
Xu Hao, like the most attentive waiter, carefully took out a bottle of red wine with a yellowish label from the wine cabinet.
The words "Chteau Lafite Rothschild 1982" on the bottle shine brightly under the light.
"Boss, try this, Lafite from 1982, I specially reserved it for you!"
Xu Hao grinned with a flattering smile and quickly opened the cork of the wine bottle with a corkscrew.
The rich aroma of wine spread instantly.
He carefully poured wine for Fang Cheng. The glass was so full that it was almost overflowing.
With that attitude, I wish I could serve Fang Cheng like an ancestor.
Fang Cheng crossed his legs, picked up the heavy goblet casually, and took a curious look at this famous foreign wine.
The deep red wine in the glass ripples with a charming luster under the light, like thick blood.
"It's really a good wine!"
Fang Cheng couldn't help but praise him.
Xu Hao heard this, with a look of pride on his face, thinking that the boss knows the goods.
However, what he saw in the next second made his mouth open.
Gulu--
Fang Cheng is not like those rich people who pretend to shake the wine first, smell the aroma, and then taste the wine. Instead, they just raise their heads and take a sip, and down most of the glass of wine.
"Well, it's okay. It quenches my thirst."
Fang Cheng smacked his lips, as if he was drinking ordinary grape juice.
Xu Hao looked at it with his eyes twitching.
This sip costs at least 20,000 yuan! Are you just going to drink like this?
His heart was bleeding, but he still maintained a flattering smile on his face.
Fang Cheng seemed not to notice anything strange about Xu Hao, and poured himself another full cup.
Then, he slowly asked:
"When we met last time, you said you had any clues about the very powerful master who was working against Noah Organization?"
When Xu Hao heard this, he immediately perked up and quickly stepped forward to start his performance:
"Boss, you don't know!"
"In order to find out this news, I spent a lot of effort, took huge risks, and endured unimaginable pressure within the organization, and finally got the first-hand information..."
He was spitting and talking incessantly, and he could talk all night long.
Fang Cheng frowned slightly and interrupted him impatiently:
"Tell the important point."
Xu Hao was choked, smiled, and quickly stopped bragging.
Then he lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Boss, do you still remember the murderer I mentioned to you that day?"
"A murderer?"
Fang Cheng's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.
"It's the super perverted murderer who killed Wu Shih Hao Hall in blood, and killed more than two hundred people in Warehouse Pier with one Butcher of Men!"
Xu Hao's eyes widened with an expression that you had forgotten, and then he slapped his thigh suddenly and said in realization:
"I just figured it out now. It turns out that the powerful character that the organization sent so many people to track down is him!"
Fang Cheng heard this and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The fingers holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously, causing tiny ripples to form in the wine in the glass.
Xu Hao did not notice the change in Fang Cheng's expression. He was immersed in his discovery and continued to describe vividly:
"Boss, you don't know that this murderer is incredibly powerful and his record is terrifying!"
"Not only did Warehouse Pier kill more than 200 people from Red Tiger Gang, but even a very high-ranking Minister at the top of our organization suffered a big loss under his hands. It is said that he destroyed a very important task, and that Minister was punished by Board of Directors."
Xu Hao paused, seemed to think of something, and added:
"By the way, boss, didn't I tell you that the captain I followed suddenly disappeared in front of Chinese New Year's Eve?"
"Now we have finally found out that he was killed by this murderer. Moreover, not just one person was killed, but an entire Special Operations Team, all of them were killed by the group!"
Listening to Xu Hao's narration, Fang Cheng's eyes were deep and he asked slowly:
"Have you found out his identity? What is his name and what does he look like?"
When Xu Hao heard this, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face:
"This... I haven't figured it out yet. After all, it involves the organization's operational secrets. It is difficult for me, a low-level leader, to have access to such core information."
He tried to think back and then added:
"However, I heard from a friend of mine in the action team that the murderer has a very special habit, that is, he likes to kill people wearing a mask. Sometimes it is a black mask, sometimes it is white. He never reveals his true appearance, so no one knew who he was before."
"But..."
Xu Hao changed the topic and lowered his voice:
"Noah Organization accidentally got a key clue this time, so we sent a large number of manpower to continue the investigation."
"Based on the previous tentative contacts and the evidence we have, we are at least 80% sure that we can confirm the true identity of the murderer."
"Now, they are waiting to send experts from the headquarters to prepare to... well, you know."
Fang Cheng's eyes flickered, and he continued to ask with a guiding tone:
"Is that person a member of Special Search Team, or someone from Chaebol Prominent Family?"
Xu Hao shook his head:
"I heard that he was just from a small declining family. Think about it, boss. With the few manpower we have at Dongdu City, how dare we easily provoke those local behemoths."
"That's it."
Fang Cheng nodded, thoughtfully.
Xu Hao hesitated for a moment, looked at Fang Cheng's face, and asked cautiously:
"Boss, you... do you know this murderer?"
"Why do you say that?"
Fang Cheng put down the wine glass and looked at him calmly.
Xu Hao was a little embarrassed by Fang Cheng, and quickly waved his hand and said:
"Nothing, I just asked casually, casually."
Fang Cheng shook his head lightly. "I don't know."
"That's good, that's good!"
Xu Hao was obviously relieved and put a smile on his face again:
"Don't worry, boss. You just taught a few Red Tiger Gang blind gangsters a lesson before. The higher ups won't even care about such a trivial matter."
"They are all staring at the murderer now. As long as we fool the person responsible for the investigation, everything will be fine."
Fang Cheng ignored his relief and gave him a new task:
"Next, you need to find out the main master information arranged by Noah Organization in Dongdu City, their identities and specific abilities. The more detailed the better."
"Yes, boss, I promise to complete the mission!"
Xu Hao immediately straightened his back, patted his chest and promised.
Seeing that Fang Cheng seemed to be quite satisfied with his performance this time, Xu Hao rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to say with a shy face:
"That... Boss, you see, I have now begun to practice that..." Great Sun Burning Body Art". I still feel a little unstable mentally. Can you give me more specific guidance?"
Fang Cheng glanced at him and nodded pretending to be profound.
Then I learned from Qi Gong Visualization's methods and taught Xu Hao how to concentrate, eliminate distracting thoughts, and some tips on stabilizing emotions.
The two of them were discussing this question and answer.
Of course.
Rather than discussing it, it is better to say that Fang Cheng is learning and applying it, gradually enriching a theoretical system of Cultivation Method.
While chatting, Fang Cheng's heart moved slightly, and suddenly asked again:
"I heard that Noah Organization has a very magical medicine that can not only eliminate mental symptoms, but also suppress injuries to a certain extent and speed up the body's recovery?"
"Boss, you mean "Touch of the Revealer" injection, right?"
Xu Hao heard this and immediately showed a surprised look on his face:
"You are really well-informed. This medicine has just been successfully developed within our organization. It has been promoted for less than half a year. The control is very strict. Unless we perform tasks, it will be difficult for even us official members to get it!"
Seeing Fang Cheng showing doubts, Xu Hao explained in detail:
"Although this "Touch of the Revealer" is very effective as a temporary recovery potion, it can only temporarily suppress mental problems and cannot fundamentally eradicate them."
"Moreover, this product has strong side effects, which will overdraw the body's potential and is addictive. Once the effect of the drug wears off or you stop using it, if the mental illness relapses, it will be more serious than before."
He listed all kinds of appalling hazards and side effects, which made Fang Cheng frown slightly and couldn't help but ask questions:
"With so many side effects, why promote it within the organization?"
Xu Hao sighed, with a hint of helplessness and ridicule in his tone:
"Because, this itself is Noah Senior Management Board of Directors, a weapon used to control us low-level personnel and cadres. Once used, it will be difficult to get rid of it."
Fang Cheng glanced at Xu Hao in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this guy is quite thorough in some aspects and is not as straightforward as he appears.
So I asked out of curiosity:
"Oh, as a newcomer, how do you know this kind of inside story?"
Xu Hao heard this, with a hint of bitterness on his face. He did not explain directly, but responded vaguely:
"Some things... you will naturally understand after you have experienced them more."
Fang Cheng saw this and didn't force him anymore. It probably involved some unspeakable secrets that he didn't want to mention.
The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the box was slightly dull.
Fang Cheng suddenly had a sudden idea and said:
"Xu Hao, do you know some reliable friends? Especially within Noah Organization, there are also people who are facing mental problems."
Xu Hao was slightly startled, and somewhat understood what Fang Cheng meant, and asked tentatively:
"Boss, you mean... you want to help them solve their mental problems as well?"
Fang Cheng nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Xu Hao heard this, his eyes lit up and he said quickly:
"Yes, boss, there are quite a few people at the bottom of Noah Organization who suffer from mental problems due to various reasons."
"However, if you want to find an honest person who has a good relationship with me and is trustworthy, I still have to think about it and screen it out."
"There's no rush in this matter."
Fang Cheng warned, "First observe secretly to find out the other person's character and details, and then inadvertently reveal a little bit about them to see their reaction."
"If they are indeed reliable and have the intention, I will consider contacting them secretly."
Having said this, Fang Cheng paused and said in an enigmatic tone:
"You have to remember that the Cultivation Method of our sect only teaches those who are destined to teach. Those gangsters with evil intentions and bad conduct must not be introduced into the door."
Xu Hao When he heard the word "sect", his eyes widened instantly, and his face was filled with incredible excitement.
This is the first time I heard Fang Cheng personally admit that there is a bigger force behind him.
Boss, you finally admitted it!
He was ecstatic, as if he had seen the bright future of getting rid of Noah Organization's control and completely solving his mental illness, and his confidence instantly soared.
Amidst Xu Hao's excited and somewhat incoherent farewell, Fang Cheng quietly left Bar and blended into the darkness.
Midnight It's deep now, and the hustle and bustle of the city has long faded away.
Only the street lights cast long shadows on Street, and the occasional car passing by, breaking the tranquility.
Fang Cheng crosses Alley and walks on the sidewalk.
Recalling the way Xu Hao just wanted to bow before him, patting his chest and promising to recruit more "destined people" for the "sect", Fang Cheng couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Suddenly, I felt a bit like a small advertisement posted on the street, Underworld Youyi, a doctor who claimed to cure all diseases and specialize in solving difficult and complicated diseases.
But put aside these joking thoughts.
This time, we started a preliminary test of "Mind Resonance" with Xu Hao, and the results were quite satisfactory.
Fang Cheng has basically determined one of the effective mechanisms to implement "Mind Resonance".
When both parties are in a relatively focused and mentally empty state, such as Meditation or concentrated thinking.
At this time, Fang Cheng, as the leader, can use the ability of "Mind Resonance" to increase the fluctuation effect of its own Mental Energy.
Thereby actively guiding the target, adjusting the mental state, bringing the consciousness frequencies of the two closer and converging, and finally establishing a stable Mental Link.
According to Fang Cheng, the key to this mechanism is to erect a "Waymark" that is eye-catching and bright enough.
Just like what happened just now.
When Fang Cheng is immersed in Meditation, merges with Spirituality Fire, and transforms into a Lighthouse.
If Xu Hao happens to be thinking of him, reading his name, or Visualization thinking of his image.
Then the consciousness frequencies of both parties may reach a subtle agreement at a certain moment.
When this fit reaches a certain level.
Xu Hao can see the Lighthouse light appearing from Fang Cheng in the dark.
Fang Cheng also has a chance to capture the fluctuations in the other party's consciousness.
The specific success rate should be related to the distance between the two parties and the strength of each Mental Energy.
No matter what, this can be said to be the easiest and most natural way to create Mental Link.
After all, even ordinary people will sometimes react to someone talking behind their back, sneeze, or suddenly burst into Heart Stirring.
Fang Cheng's Spirit Attribute has a high level of 50 points, and its perception ability is far beyond that of ordinary people, naturally even more so.
Even if the linked target Mental Power is weaker, it is not too Major Milestone related.
As long as Fang Cheng's own Spirit Attribute is powerful enough, it will be like having a high-power Lighthouse and radar in the endless darkness of Ocean of Consciousness, which can more easily capture those weak signals coming from afar.
During the previous test, Xu Hao actually did not really enter the deep Meditation state.
At most, I just touched the level of beginner Entering Stillness, and even fell asleep.
But even so, Fang Cheng still successfully established a preliminary Mental Link with it and exerted influence.
Walking on the streets of Midnight, the evening breeze blew on my face, bringing a bit of coolness.
Not far away, those skyscrapers stood tall in the night, their Glass curtain walls reflecting the Neon Lights lights.
Like the silent giant in the forest of Rebar Cement.
Fang Cheng summoned Panel with a thought, and his eyes fell on the two skills not far from Level Up.
[Running lv0(79/100)]
[Sanda lv2(431/500)]
Next, in addition to continuing to deepen the capabilities of Mind Resonance, play its role.
The main direction of improvement is these two seemingly ordinary skills.
The body is the capital of revolution, no matter how many magical abilities you master.
His strong physique and Combat skills are still his most reliable reliance in this crisis-ridden Dark World!
