Chapter 980: Chapter 892: Dry weather, beware of pathogens

Time could erase many things.

The students who had experienced the accident had long since graduated, and the dean had transferred the rescue team and teachers who had witnessed the event away from the Seventh District.

At least before Lu Xiang returned to school, everything was as tranquil as he had planned.

This was a secret.

But the real entity that needed to be kept in the dark was not Lu Xiang himself.

"You are trying to avoid the Review Meeting,"

Lu Xiang said, "This is not in accordance with the regulations of the United Government."

The undetected meteorite incident was serious enough to command the utmost attention of the United Government. If the dean wasn’t lying, then according to the standard protocol, the Counter-Intelligence Department or Military Intelligence Section Seven would take over the case, and she would be transferred to the relevant agency, awaiting endless house arrest and experimentation.

The only thing that puzzled Lu Xiang was the dean’s reason for doing this.

By not reporting, he would face tremendous risk, and should the truth come out, not only would he lose his position as Dean of the Morning Star, but he would also likely face trial and be sent to the most secure prison of the United Government.

"I would like to hear your reason."

"Because I have decided to believe in destiny. You might not believe it, but when I saw the meteor fall, I heard the call of destiny."

Therefore, he needed to conceal everything he had discovered in the depths of the ruins from the United Government, raise the child, and reveal to Lu Xiang what had happened that night at an appropriate time.

Even the dean himself did not understand what promise destiny had made to him; it was more like an impulse entrenched in his instinct, transcending rational thought.

He had perused countless books, trying to comprehend the source of the impulse.

The closest explanation was faith.

Fervent faith surpasses rational judgment, rendering people blind and obstinate.

However, within the United Government’s territories, there was no church; after the Dark Era, the Review Meeting believed that the citizens of the United Government did not need such a dangerous thing. They hoped that when facing crucial decisions, the only voice heard within the United Government would be unified.

The Lunar Eclipse Sect was the oldest and most populous religion he knew of.

"And that moment in time is the day you grew up and gained the ability to protect yourself."

The recent turmoil in the core city had proven that the day had arrived, and Lu Xiang, guided by destiny, had indeed appeared before him.

However, destiny is always obscure. The dean listened and followed the guidance of destiny without knowing where the path would lead.

Perhaps Lu Xiang would give him the answer.

"Dean..."

After a long while, Lu Xiang finally spoke, "According to Professor Miles’s theory, you have mostly been brainwashed by a Psychic with interference abilities."

Even though she knew she should be grateful to the dean for not handing her over to the Review Meeting, she felt obliged to remind him frankly.

To believe in destiny, to heed the guidance of destiny.

Not knowing where the path leads, yet pursuing it eagerly.

Strong convictions sustain them.

These were the methods of Whisper from the upper world that Song Lan had summarized, adept at beguiling people’s minds. In the field of anti-fraud, Dumb Bird indeed was a fine bird.

The dean exhibited all the typical signs of being brainwashed, just like the fervent believers of the churches of old.

When in the Fourth District, Song Lan had also explained interference-type Psychic abilities.

Typically, an Ability User with interference psychic abilities could only crudely control a target’s actions, implanting an idea was a more advanced technique. To accomplish this, biological pharmaceutical companies of the United Government have developed a plethora of drugs to weaken an individual’s consciousness, making it easier for interference Psychic Abilities to creep in.

To develop people into fervent believers is an even higher-level technique, which requires at least a delta-level Psychic to achieve.

But now is not the time for denunciation.

Lu Xiang had a growing premonition that the person who had "suggested" to the dean was most likely herself. To hurry to denounce would result in being hit by her own boomerang, which was very much Song Lan’s style, but she was not the type to play the jester.

During her first encounter with Dr. Bai Zhu, she realized something unusual about herself.

Bai Zhu had said her brain was unlike others’, capable of easily withstanding the strain brought by the "Deep Web" chip.

Medea had remarked she was the only person besides Song Lan capable of giving direct instructions to the Devourer, while others who made cognitive connections with the Devourer typically did so in a manner of negotiation and communication.

Following further research, Medea found the Devourers to be a fascinating species.

Although it had become much friendlier and kinder under Song Lan’s influence, many of its deeply ingrained notions were unchangeable.

Such as the Devourer’s established hierarchy of recognition.

Song Lan had prompted the Devourer’s cognitive system to classify "humans" as "friends," but Lu Xiang apparently did not fall within this category. Medea believed that the Devourer would obey her commands so readily only if it recognized Lu Xiang as a higher life form.

And now, her mind had squarely accommodated the entire "Sea of Souls."

This was not something that could be explained by mere prodigious talent. RT6 had stated that if it were someone else, just transferring the "Sea of Souls" authority would have been enough to burst their brain, let alone using the authority of the "Sea of Souls."

This was why Lu Xiang decided to make an impromptu return to Morning Star after her journey to the Fourth District.
