The Rebel Army withdrew quickly and, true to their word, let the remaining therapists live. East District players arrived one after another. After examining the two therapists, they discovered that they had been injected with truth serum and immediately contacted the hospital to pick them up. In less than half an hour, all ten people, including Xu Huo, were lying in hospital beds.
More than ten psychotherapists had been taken away at once. No matter how well-staffed Agor Company was, it couldn't simply ignore that. They had brought them to the hospital mainly to check for any Aftereffects. As for the truth serum, its effects would wear off in time.
At this point, it was difficult for Xu Huo to keep up his disguise. And it wasn't realistic to take the place of one of the existing psychotherapists; without adequate preparation, he would be exposed too easily, making the whole effort pointless. So, after hypnotically suggesting a few therapists in the same ward, he followed them out and slipped away from the hospital among the patients.
Running into the Rebel Army had been unexpected, but even more surprising was what they wanted to learn from the therapists. Therapists were the people who had the most contact with players apart from the surgeons, but if they hadn't gotten any specific names from the East District players, how could they be sure the therapists knew any?
Wouldn't it be easier to find a way to kidnap a senior Agor executive?
Kidnapping the therapists and then letting them go—wasn't that telling the East District players that they already knew "White Blood" was bait?
Of course, it could also be seen as a move to advance the plan, intended to inform Agor Company that the Rebel Army had seen through their bait and force
