Monster of Qinggang City

"Regardless, if he could really tug off your wig without you noticing, it not only shows his mental level is very high, but also that he has strong control over the subtle application of psionic power. This..."

"This mental level is truly high, definitely above four hundred, perhaps even..."

During a previous meeting at the Guard Department, when someone reasonably speculated that Lu Xin's mental level was above three hundred, it was met with surprise. Yet now, in this office, more than half of the people present had excited expressions.

"How do I feel like he might even exceed five hundred?"

"No matter what, it's already extremely high. With such an initial mental level, if he just undergoes one or two more enhancements..."

"He might directly enter the second stage?"

"..."

"..."

Amidst the astonishment of those around, Chen Jing silently noted it down on the file and then looked up, asking, "What about the others?"

Listening to her inquiry, the other professors also expressed their opinions.

Some praised Lu Xin's talent.

Some affirmed the stability of his ability usage.

Some expressed a degree of regret about his refusal to use firearms.

Finally, everyone turned their gaze to a middle-aged woman with permed hair and a distinguished aura.

Throughout the entire testing process, she hadn't participated at all; she hadn't even approached Lu Xin.

In fact, in terms of demeanor, she was somewhat different from the other professors and researchers.

These professors were a bit fanatical, while she appeared relatively calm...

"I research Crimson Moon mysticism!"

Seeing everyone's gazes turn towards her, she spoke softly, "Actually, my main purpose for coming this time was to confirm a fact: that whether it's Doctor Zhou Qin's conversation or Professor Chen's observation of him, both indicate that he indeed has an 'family member' around him that we cannot see. To some extent, this does resemble dissociative identity disorder."

She paused slightly and continued, "And my purpose for coming was to determine, what if this isn't personality splitting?"

"What if he truly has several mental bodies around him that we can't see, and they can grant him abilities?"

"..."

These words caused the other professors and researchers to pause slightly.

As researchers who believed in facts and data, they somewhat felt they were not on the same page as this woman.

She seemed more like a fortune teller than a scientific researcher!

As the female professor, who called herself a Crimson Moon mysticism researcher, spoke to this point, she moved slightly and took out a small, black, box-like instrument she had with her, placing it on the table. It could be seen that the sensitivity setting on it had been turned to the maximum.

The female professor said, "So I've been conducting tests, trying to determine if there's another mental body around him."

"I've set up ten of these instruments here, positioned at various angles and locations."

"Unfortunately, even with the most advanced detector made by the Eclipse Research Institute, even at its most sensitive setting, I haven't captured any mental power fluctuations that don't match his personal actions. And logically, if there were other mental bodies around him, even if they were perfectly synchronized with his actions, there should still be some discordant clues for us to observe..."

"Moreover, he himself has stated that his 'family' isn't that obedient!"

"..."

Having said this, she expressed some regret, "So I can only admit that those family members are his delusions!"

The group of professors around them breathed a sigh of relief.

But the curly-haired woman continued, "Of course, it's also possible that the instruments aren't sensitive enough..."

As she spoke, she lightly licked her lips, her eyes shining slightly, making her appear younger.

"If only we could open up his brain..."

"..."

The expressions of the other professors became somewhat strange again.

Professor Chen tapped the table at this moment and said, "There's also the issue of the dream weaver's death..."

As he said this, he looked at the psychologist.

The psychologist shook his head slightly and replied, "This is one of the questions Professor Bai said cannot be directly asked. But I've also made arrangements. Behind me, in his line of sight from where he sat, I've posted a photo of that dream weaver. If he had met this dream weaver, he would definitely show a corresponding reaction, but he appeared extremely unfamiliar with the dream weaver."

"..."

"So, what can be confirmed now is..."

The bald Professor Chen finally summarized, "He has great potential, his values are upright, his thoughts are clear, and his splits... are also very distinct?"

Everyone at the table nodded in agreement.

"And this also indicates that he is indeed dangerous to a certain extent?"

"Of course, definitely dangerous..."

Then, Professor Chen turned his gaze towards Chen Jing.

Amidst their discussions, Chen Jing had meticulously recorded everyone's statements. Seeing all eyes turn to her, she closed the file and, with a thoughtful pause, began to twirl the black pen in her hand.

"The remaining issue is the most crucial one," she said. "What are your thoughts, professors, on whether we should guide him?"

The professors exchanged glances. Professor Chen was the first to raise his hand. "I agree!"

Seeing this, the others also raised their hands to vote. "Agree!"

"Agree!"

"Pending!"

"With such great potential, of course, we must guide him!"

"Strongly agree!"

The last to raise her hand was the female expert in mysticism. She slowly lifted her hand and then calmly stated, "Furthermore, I recommend assigning him more tasks to gather relevant data!"

Her words immediately drew more voices of agreement and support.

"This..."

The initial outcome caused Chen Jing to hesitate for a moment.

Based on her previous understanding of Lu Xin, she had been quite confident that the six professors would recommend guiding him. However, she hadn't anticipated their opinions being so remarkably unified. The only one who said "Pending" was doing so because he needed time to analyze Lu Xin's blood samples and couldn't give a final answer yet.

Moreover, according to Qinggang City regulations, a decision was already made if three out of the six professors gave a positive opinion.

This was because the seventh professor was Professor Bai, who had agreed from the start.

"Little Chen Jing, do you know why we support guiding him, even knowing he has many strange aspects?"

As if sensing Chen Jing's confusion, the professor surnamed Chen smiled and said, "Most of us here experienced the initial panic of the Crimson Moon incident, the confusion during the civilization's rebuilding period, and the helplessness when the mental pollution events occurred. So, we've gradually come to understand that when facing those twisted and bizarre things, hiding and avoiding them is useless!"

"Confronting the challenge, understanding it, and then utilizing it is the true solution!"

"And this young man, with his good nature and great potential, yet possessing certain states we cannot explain..."

"Tell me, who could be more suitable for our research?"

"..."

"Uh..."

Chen Jing suddenly understood. Looking at the professors, most of whom had thinning hair, and even the two female experts in mysticism and psychology, who displayed expressions of anticipation, even bordering on fanaticism, she felt a sense of helplessness.

"No wonder even the mental anomalies call them monsters..."
