Mental Suggestion?
Maeve: "..."
This question really stumped her.
She glanced subconsciously at Madelyn next to the desk before looking back at Lin Mo.
It seems that's true. He didn't say earlier that once the injection was successful, the matter would be over.
Looking at her expression, Lin Mo suddenly chuckled.
"How?"
"You have a problem with that?"
No, no.
Maeve immediately shook her head, then nodded after speaking.
I was just asking casually.
"You continue."
The A-Train beside him silently swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of its tongue.
It seems I shouldn't ask so casually.
Madelyn was clearly not in the mood to listen to what they were saying; the changes happening inside her body had made her oblivious to everything else.
She couldn't even quite remember what she had just shouted.
The pain and fever were making me feel like I was losing control, coming in waves.
She gripped the edge of the table tighter and tighter.
Her once neatly combed hair had come loose, and she no longer looked like the person who had been sitting in the office in control.
Lin Mo looked at her, but didn't rush to do anything.
He wasn't very optimistic that Madelyn could pull through.
After all, this Ordinary Compound V is different from the one he just improved.
The difference is significant.
However, things took an unexpected turn.
After a while, the increasingly chaotic changes in Madelyn's body actually began to stabilize slowly.
The intensity of her trembling decreased, and her abnormal breathing gradually returned to normal.
Joanna spoke first.
"She held on."
Her gaze swept over Madelyn.
With her X-ray vision, the changes within the other person's body naturally came to her attention.
Lin Mo nodded.
"Um."
She actually held on; that's quite something. Looks like this woman's luck isn't too bad after all.
At least he's a named villain from the original story; he might actually have a bit of luck with him.
Of course, this was just a random thought; he had no interest in actually investigating whether it was true or not.
What concerned Lin Mo even more was something else.
Madelyn's brain seems to have undergone some unusual changes.
Lin Mo had been observing her body ever since she started receiving injections, and now her condition was gradually stabilizing.
He actually sensed something unusual: a spiritual force was moving towards him.
It was blurry, but there was a vague idea that it was meant to help him relax.
He felt there was no need to pursue the matter further with the woman in front of him.
The moment this feeling arose, it was captured by his Super Brain.
Lin Mo's eyes flickered slightly.
oh?
Mental abilities?
Similar to...
Mental suggestion?
It's not entirely certain what exactly it is yet, but their capabilities in this area should be quite similar.
Looking at Madelyn, Lin Mo suddenly felt that she was quite in line with her personality.
This woman has always liked to arrange things clearly for others.
Now that he's awakened his abilities, they're even heading in the direction of influencing others.
It can only be said that it fits the character's persona.
In the past, if you wanted someone to obey you, you had to rely on your status, your interests, and your words.
Now, things have gotten even better; they've gained superpowers.
Given some time, she might actually be able to create quite a few things with this ability.
After all, mental abilities are extremely rare; you can't find more than a handful in the entire Black Cannon.
What a pity.
Lin Mo sighed inwardly. His abilities were quite impressive, but people still had to die.
Madelyn has no idea what he's thinking.
She only knows one thing now: she actually made it through.
The excruciating pain that felt like it was tearing me apart has begun to subside.
Inside her body, she experienced a sensation she had never felt before.
This gave her a glimmer of joy, even though she was almost in despair.
It was a success.
She did not die.
And it seems they actually gained the ability.
Madelyn supported herself on the table and slowly straightened up.
I looked up, about to say something.
The hint of surprise on her face gradually froze.
because.
Lin Mo's gaze towards her was no different from before.
The same goes for Joanna.
As for Maeve, she clearly didn't suddenly feel happy for her just because she survived the injection.
No one in the office congratulated her, and no one even said a word to her; the matter simply passed.
This made Madelyn's heart sink; the hope that had just resurfaced in her mind suddenly became uncertain again.
I did it.
She quickly said.
It was as if he was reminding Lin Mo, or as if he was trying to convince himself that his words were indeed useful.
"I've already had the injection."
"And I made it through."
Lin Mo nodded and said coldly.
"I saw it."
Those were just three words, and that was it.
Madelyn's expression changed once again; she realized a possibility.
"Didn't you say...?"
Her voice was strained.
"Give me a chance?"
"I did as you said, and I succeeded. Now you can't kill me anymore."
Lin Mo looked at her and asked, somewhat amused.
When did I say that last sentence?
Madelyn opened her mouth.
For a moment, I couldn't find the phrase I was looking for.
Give her a chance, let her get the injection.
Lin Mo did say these things, but if the injection was successful, he would definitely not kill her.
It seems there really isn't.
"You said before that you could let me stay..."
"Consider."
Lin Mo interrupted her.
"What I meant was, we can consider it."
As he spoke, the smile on his face faded slightly.
Madelyn.
"You don't think that just because you survived one shot of Compound V, you can get away with everything you did before, do you?"
Madelyn's face turned pale instantly.
She finally understood the sliver of hope she had been desperately grasping at.
From beginning to end, it was all just her own belief.
"Etc."
She spoke up quickly.
"I can also give you *..."
Lin Mo didn't reply. He lowered his hand, took Joanna's fingers, and then gently squeezed them.
The movements were very small.
The A-Train next to it didn't even notice.
Joanna, however, understood what he meant. She looked up at Madelyn.
A red glow appeared in the retina.
Madelyn noticed it immediately.
She had just acquired this ability and hadn't even had a chance to fully utilize it yet; she couldn't die here...
At this moment, nothing Madelyn had in store for her truly served her purpose.
She didn't even finish her last sentence before a Heat Vision swept over her.
The sound stopped abruptly.
Madelyn's head was instantly pierced by the red light, and her body lost its support, falling backward.
The office fell silent.
The woman who was just standing there, congratulating herself on successfully gaining her powers, is now silent.
From becoming Supe to dying here, the entire process wasn't very long.
Joanna withdrew her Heat Vision.
He then looked at Lin Mo again, giving him a smile that said, "Praise me!"
