Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Salted Fish Lecturer_1

In fact, when Lu Xiang put forth the theory of interference-type Ability User and mind control, Song Lan was suddenly shocked, a familiar figure emerging in his mind.

The criminal, it was Nonoreius-Yuri!

Or perhaps he could say it was an Ability User of the same type as Yuri!

"Do you have a new discovery?"

Seeing that Song Lan looked like he had figured out the truth, Lu Xiang could not help but ask.

"No, I was just thinking about what to do next."

To avoid being seen as a troublemaker and driven out of the office by Lu Xiang, Song Lan did not mention the honored name of the political commissar.

"We are unable to confirm the current state of the mayor. If we consider the worst-case scenario, his thoughts might have already been completely controlled by that Ability User. In this case, the Law Enforcers can’t investigate with a valid reason. Moreover, those people would probably have known that the mayor had secretly sought out Ophir, and on the contrary, they hope to utilize you to cause him to give up completely."

Song Lan finally understood.

No wonder the mayor’s secretary, after seeing them, didn’t even allow them to examine the patient’s records properly and was eager for Roger to issue a declaration that the mayor was not seriously ill.

Because they already knew what was happening to the mayor.

But even if he guessed that there was an Ability User behind this, without solid evidence, the Law Enforcers couldn’t take any substantial action. If handled improperly, the other party could utilize the mayor’s power to directly get Lu Xiang fired.

Lu Xiang also seemed to realize this, her expression extremely grave.

Controlling the mayor was just the beginning, afterward, they would certainly use the convenience of the mayor’s authority to achieve their goals.

The more critical the situation, the more calm they needed to be.

"When you were at the mayor’s house, did the water the secretary poured for you look abnormal?"

"It only looked like normal lemonade... We almost fell for it just now."

Thinking about this, Song Lan couldn’t help feeling a bit scared.

If it were not for the memo from the mayor specifying not to drink the water prepared by the secretary, the three of them would probably have fallen victim by now.

You could never let your guard down in District 17.

The old saying did not deceive him; don’t eat food given by strangers when you’re out.

That also went for the water given by the mayor’s secretary.

"She probably just wanted to ensure that you would provide a report confirming that the mayor does not have any mental illness," Lu Xiang commented. "Judging from the memo, even if his thoughts and cognition were tampered with, there would be a brief period of time when he could regain consciousness. It was in this lucid moment that the mayor sought out Ophir. For those people, controlling a person’s thinking completely also requires time."

For this reason, for those less important security personnel, they used a simpler and cruder scientific approach - killing the person, implanting a chip, and turning the corpse into a cyborg.

Cyborgs could execute simple commands, didn’t fear pain, and didn’t show any human negative emotions.

This technology was once widely used in war, but since the establishment of the United Government, it has been banned on inhumane grounds.

The changes that occurred at the mayor’s house indicated that the Ability User found it difficult to manipulate many people’s spirits and cognition at the same time.

However, the emotionally intelligent Lu Xiang chose not to delve further into this topic.

Besides, her belief that the other party wouldn’t bother to invest too much effort in Song Lan and others resulted from the fact that these three were just employees of the Law Enforcers department and not from key sectors. Even if their thoughts were completely controlled, what could they do?

Of course, if she was too blunt, it would greatly dampen Song Lan’s enthusiasm.

And this was only limited to how those people saw Song Lan. If she possessed the ability to peek into people’s thoughts, she would happily study what Song Lan was thinking every day.

Song Lan was a smart man, he could more or less make out Lu Xiang’s underlying message.

But he is not only not angry, but takes it as a compliment.

This was the power of the Way of the Salty Fish - as long as one could be an unambitious person to the extent where even those wanting control find it troublesome, the most powerful interference-type Ability User would also be helpless against you.

It’s like, if you spend 1000 to create a Yuri, you would definitely not want to use him to control the opponent’s mobilized soldiers.

As for Song Lan’s self-positioning, it was far below that of the mobilized soldiers. In this conversion, he should belong to the category of neutral civilians on some maps.

Following this thought, Song Lan came up with a brilliant idea.

"Chief, I suddenly thought of a method."

"Speak."

Lu Xiang was a little surprised, she did not expect that Song Lan would also think of methods for the sake of official work.

"Although we found out that his ability’s rules may be spread through water, we still know nothing about the details of the power and the identity of the Ability User. It is too difficult to find them from a sea of people, so reversing the logic might be a better method."

"How do you reverse the logic?"

"Think about it, they are spending so much energy to control the mayor because they covet the power that the mayor holds. So, if we frequently expose the mayor’s dark side in the next period, destroying his election next month, and pull him down from the position of the mayor, then the current mayor would completely lose his value to them. At that time, they would naturally give up on their plan to control the mayor."

Generally speaking, Song Lan did not like to express his own opinions at work.

However, now there were only two of them in Lu Xiang’s office, and this matter concerned the Way of the Salty Fish that he observed, so he felt it necessary to say a few words.

In short, as long as the mayor is turned into a civilian with no value, those who want to use him will voluntarily give up their conspiracy.

Lu Xiang was rendered speechless at Song Lan’s proposed method. She really had never thought that there could actually be such a method to break through the Ability User’s ability, and to some extent, this method could indeed be effective.

"Moreover, during the election next month, we can secretly gather the dark side of other candidates. Whoever has a high support rate, we expose them. This way, they won’t be able to decide who the next mind control target will be in advance."

As long as everyone can peacefully embrace the Way of the Salty Fish, there will be no harm in this world.

This guy even thought about the next step in advance!

The more Lu Xiang listened, the more she thought that Song Lan was the real culprit who wanted to disrupt the atmosphere in District 17.

She was sure that the current Mayor Lyon Seabot, seeking out Ophir while fully conscious and at great risk, certainly wasn’t hoping for her to bring someone to ruin his reputation.

"What you said is also a way."

This was the first time Song Lan had voiced his opinion at work, so Lu Xiang still tended to be more encouraging. "But there is one thing I hope you can understand."

"Huh?"

"We are the Law Enforcers. Our targets should be the criminals, not the victims."
