Chapter 193: Be Honest, Please Let Me Go
He continued walking forward, leading the people behind him to the innermost examination room.
Lin Qingliu entered first and then stood at the door like a security guard:
“Patients come in; others wait outside.”
His tone was icy, seemingly indifferent to the consequences.
Seeing the displeasure on the other person’s face, “Shadow Master” couldn’t help but twitch his lips, silently cursing.
“Do you even know who these people are? For their safety, I must accompany them!”
Lin Qingliu remained unfazed by the intimidation from the person in front of him, calmly replying:
“During psychological treatment, it is sometimes necessary for patients to discuss their past psychological shadows or things they are ashamed of…
“I believe everyone has a few of those…
“If it were you, would you want others to know?”
At this, “Shadow Master” felt a slight tremor run through his body.
His abilities were indeed terrifyingly strong; it would be hard to die in battle during the night.
But if that death weren’t in a biological sense, but rather a social one…
He instantly understood what the other meant.
At that moment, Lin Qingliu glanced at “Nian” with a knowing look.
This Dummy instinctively sensed there was something more in the other’s words, but his poor mimicking skills made it difficult for him to grasp the true meaning.
After a brief moment of thought, he forced a smile:
“It’s all good, guys, you just wait at the door; you’ve worked hard.”
Seeing the person involved also trying to persuade him, “Shadow Master” realized he might indeed have been a little meddlesome.
But it couldn’t be helped; these three treasures were in his hands, and if anything went wrong, they’d be fed to the fish in the Sea of the East!
He looked at Lin Qingliu seriously:
“You better be a proper doctor; otherwise, you know the consequences.”
Then he turned to the three people and said:
“We won’t go inside, but for your safety, I need to have them search the place.
“You don’t mind, right?”
The last sentence was clearly directed at Lin Qingliu.
Mind? He couldn’t wait for it!
Please come and check the most critical stronghold of the [Believers]; their leader has been waiting for a long time.
While Lin Qingliu was eagerly anticipating this request, he put on a somewhat reluctant expression and said:
“I am a proper doctor and of course not afraid of a search, but you must return those items back to their original places.”
“Enough talking.”
“Shadow Master” waved his hand, leaving a few teammates to guard the examination room while he summoned a group of people to thoroughly search the new store from top to bottom.
“Patients may come in.”
Inside the examination room, Lin Qingliu had already taken his seat as the doctor.
Outside, the few people exchanged glances.
Under the surveillance of the superpowered individuals nearby, they dared not communicate through physical contact for quick information sharing.
Using eye contact for communication was also somewhat challenging for the current Dummies…
So, the three of them simply exchanged brief looks, and then, following the memories they had extracted, Captain “Nian” stood up first, just as he always led the charge in battle.
He still struggled to fully grasp some of the emotions from the memories, but he had managed to mimic the external behavior quite well.
There really was nothing to worry about; after all, no matter how you looked at it, that person was just a simple human, with a glow from the biological field that even seemed somewhat faint.
“Nian” stepped into the examination room, and the door automatically closed behind him.
The moment the door shut, he felt a strange barrier suddenly materialize.
With the closure of that door, all outside sounds vanished in an instant!
The sounds of people moving up and down the stairs, the noise of rummaging through items, even the breaths of those around him… all disappeared.
No, it was more than that!
Standing by the door of the examination room, “Nian” was startled to discover that his perception had been weakened once again!
He had already experienced something similar when approaching Hope City.
As he drew closer, the primary source of the biological field had shifted from the Supreme Will to that one human.
The connection between him and his body was no longer as strong.
After entering the city, they had to gather all five individuals just to barely synchronize their views with the outside world.
As a result, their senses were weakened like never before, and not long ago, they had failed to notice the approaching superpowered individuals and soldiers because they were focused on that strange will’s minion.
But now, within this room, he had completely lost his awareness of the outside world, like a kite severed from its string in a storm.
It felt as though everything had been isolated outside, as if the entire universe had shrunk to this small, windowless space, where he couldn’t see beyond.
He slowly turned his head, wanting to look at the ordinary doctor who appeared somewhat weak in perception.
But he couldn’t do it.
Light! Blazing, scorching light, as if it were burning his eyes, shot in from behind!
That was not real light but the biological field, an immensely powerful biological field.
Just as humans cannot hear ultrasound, the strength of the biological field made little difference to them; their fear of extraordinary beasts came more from their enormous size and horrifying appearances.
And now, the perception that “Nian” used to sense the biological field had been almost completely stripped away by Lin Qingliu in a very short time.
He realized who this person was!
It was Blood Rain! It was the being who had clashed with him in the illusory ocean of biological consciousness on the day of Blood Rain.
It was that existence whose biological field was so powerful it felt like the sun, even astonishing his own body far away.
But today was different from that day; today, he, the Dummy, was merely a fragment of the Supreme Will, entirely incomparable to his body.
And it was this self who now had to face the true being!
In that moment, a spark of awareness within the Dummy experienced true fear for the first time.
“Long time no see.”
The unknown being, disguised as a young man, said with a smile,
“Please, have a seat.”
—
Outside the examination room, over a dozen soldiers searched through each room in Lin Qingliu’s small home.
Even though they found nothing, this invasion of privacy still brought them a strange thrill.
However…
This person’s life seemed a bit dull…
With the immense pressure of life in Hope City, it had become quite common to find interesting things during searches.
For a psychologist, the most likely contraband would be some odd publications or prohibited drugs.
But Lin Qingliu seemed like a saint; aside from basic daily necessities and a few professional items, there was nothing else in his home.
