"Not capable?"

Mr. Su and Minister Shen both frowned slightly and subconsciously raised their heads.

Even Chen Jing's mouth opened slightly, forming an "O" shape.

Such absurd words come from the mouth of a top scholar like Professor Bai, which makes people feel a little unbelievable. If even a powerful ability user like a single soldier can be regarded as incapable, then what are the other C and B-class ability users?

"That's right. But what I mean by not having the ability is different from what you understand."

Professor Bai said in a deep voice, "We can take a look at the information left behind by individual soldiers when they were under surveillance as Satellite City No. 2 th Observer Number Thirteen."

"At that time, the Qinggang Mental Pollution defense system determined that Satellite City No. 2 had potential abilities, so we observed him for a long time as usual. Later, Chen Jing rushed over in person, just to judge his abilities and risks..."

"However, after we observed that his mental power was strong enough to produce Telekinesis and overturned tables and chairs, we didn't know what kind of abilities he had produced."

"It wasn't until later in the Corner Cafe Mental Pollution incident that he distorted himself and used Spider-type's ability to get rid of the Mental Monster that we determined his system."

"But after confirming it, we found that he had many behaviors that did not fit the characteristics of Spider-type..."

"Including himself, he also said that he borrowed this ability from a sister who was invisible to others."

"..."

"This incident makes it difficult for us to understand, and we even think that he has multiple personality disorder and increases his risk of losing control."

Professor Bai said, frowning. "But what if he is telling the truth?"

Minister Shen, Mr. Su, and Chen Jing were all listening to his words carefully, but the more they listened, the more confused they became.

Minister Shen couldn't help but take a picture of the information and said, "You just said that the drunkard has determined that he has no 'family'!"

"His family's way of existence, or concept, may be different from what we think."

Professor Bai took a deep breath, sounded a little heavier, and said his explanation:

"When the existing ability system cannot explain something, it is most likely because our vision has become narrowed due to the limitations of experience and cognition. After all, all ability systems are discovered first and then summarized. In other words, this belongs to existing experience, and existing experience becomes a framework, which can easily limit our new cognition."

"So, at this time, try to open your horizons and make some things easier to understand."

"..."

"I base my speculation on individual soldiers' abilities on this concept."

Professor Bai gave his answer, "I found that after changing my thinking, the ability of an individual soldier is not complicated."

"Even, very simple."

After a pause, he whispered:

"He just possesses an extremely powerful spiritual level, but no specific direction of ability."

"..."

Listening to what Professor Bai said, Chen Jing could barely keep up, but Minister Shen couldn't tell whether he could keep up.

Mr. Su was obviously confused.

After Professor Bai said this, he looked at the others with a smile and said:

"This guess can explain why a single soldier was able to destroy the Mental Pollution bomb under the south wall at that time."

"When the Mental Pollution bomb created a Mental Monster that could self-destruct at any time and distort everything around it, only a spiritual power higher than it... at least twice as powerful as it... could cover and dissolve its power."

"Similarly, it can also explain why an individual soldier can use these two Mental Monster to lock the existence of the commander behind them."

"Because these two Mental Monster were ordered to attack drunkards and individual soldiers, so they must have information about the mastermind behind the scenes, and there will also be real instructions given by the mastermind behind the scenes to attack drunkards and individual soldiers."

"Then, if the spiritual weight is strong enough, it can cover these two Mental Monster... The spiritual weight of these two Mental Monster is above one thousand, but preliminary speculation is that it has not reached two thousand, so if it can cover the spiritual bomb, it can completely cover them... Individual soldiers can get these instructions from them, and then give the answers we see!"

"..."

"This..."

When Professor Bai said this answer, Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned.

She didn't even bother to think about the logic, and just subconsciously asked:

"If he can really do it, then... how high must his spiritual level be?"

Minister Shen said calmly:

"Judging from the report I received at that time, the Mental Monster that appeared under the south wall of Satellite City No. 2 has a magnitude of at least four thousand. If you want to say that the spiritual magnitude of an individual soldier is enough to directly cover this bomb, then his spiritual magnitude..."

"..."

He didn't say the following number, nor did he say Chen Jing.

Mr. Su, on the other hand, calculated in his mind and said slowly, "In terms of multiples, it's close to ten thousand?"

This number made Minister Shen and Chen Jing tremble in their hearts.

Professor Bai smiled and shook his head, saying:

"There is currently no humanoid creature that can withstand the mental level of ten thousand, or even close to ten thousand."

"Not even a single soldier."

"So, you don't have to worry so much. Judging from the reports at the time, there was a fierce fight before he dealt with the Mental Monster. Therefore, it is very likely that he weakened the Mental Monster first and then covered it."

"Based on this calculation, I think the estimate is between 4,000 and 6,000, which is more appropriate."

"..."

The conference room was quiet, and no one refuted or answered Professor Bai's words.

Professor Bai smiled and continued his reasoning:

"Once you accept the fact that he has a powerful spiritual power, I can explain to you the following inference."

"For ease of understanding, you can regard an individual soldier as a Pollution Source."

"A powerful Pollution Source."

"However, he is a non-polluting Pollution Source... just like pure water does not conduct electricity."

"..."

Minister Shen, Chen Jing, and Mr. Su were all full of questions, but they listened patiently and did not try to interrupt.

Professor Bai continued:

"Because he has no abilities, he only has the distortion, perception, imitation and other characteristics of the spiritual power itself."

"And this, when he needs it, he can use his powerful mental level to analyze and reconstruct some abilities."

"Of course, this requires him to be very familiar with that ability."

"..."

The sound was still floating in the conference room, and Chen Jing, Minister Shen, and Mr. Su could no longer get in the conversation.

Professor Bai breathed a sigh of relief, "And this can also explain why he has three 'family members'."

"He doesn't have multiple personality disorder, but he doesn't really have three families."

"..."

Facing the people in the office, he smiled and slowly expressed his speculation:

"I suspect that during the initial awakening stage of his abilities, he did see three such people, or abilities."

"We all know that he is related to the escaped laboratory, but we don't know what he went through."

"If I were to guess, it was that he met three such people in the experiment, and for some reason, he used his powerful mental power to imitate and deconstruct three abilities. The abilities that remained were different in nature from his own mental power, but they have the same origin, so he would feel close to him, but not belong to him..."

"It's like an actor playing another character."

"This is a role that left a deep impression on him, and he put a lot of effort into it."

"This character is him, but it is not him. It is just a reconstruction based on his own understanding."

"..."

Professor Bai picked up the writing pen and drew a large circle on the whiteboard, and then drew three small circles on it. On the leftmost small circle, he made two upward strokes, turning it into an avatar with two pigtails, indicating that this was his sister, and then said:

"For an individual soldier, when he deconstructs these three abilities, he will inevitably have a certain degree of confusion and incomprehension. If his mental level is as strong as his, he will inevitably have a logic that is different from ordinary people. Therefore, in the process of tolerating and accepting these three abilities, he will inevitably give these three abilities a position and an understandable position according to his own understanding."

"At that time, he was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid who lost his orphanage and was in a chaotic era."

"So, the positioning he gave these three characters was family."

"He accepted these three abilities as family members that others could not see, and allowed them to accompany him."

"..."

After saying this in one breath, he gently put down the document, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyebrows.

He said softly, "This is my guess about the individual soldier's condition based on all the current data!"

"When the mental level reaches six to seven thousand, it already falls into the category of dangerous level."

"If you have the corresponding ability, you can often reach an unsolvable state and classify it as S-level."

"But in fact, an individual soldier only has a corresponding mental level, but he has no ability that can truly be controlled by himself. His power is imitated and reconstructed by him, and he cannot truly display his mental level, so he is born one level lower than a real S-class."

"So, now we can give an answer to his ability rating!"

Putting on his glasses again, he wrote the information supplement of Lu Xin on the writing board behind him:

Codename: Individual Soldier

Ability: None (or, not awakened)

Grade: Grade A

Risk of loss of control: 65%
