Chapter 707 - 705: Dinner Plate_1

Chapter 707: Chapter 705: Dinner Plate_1Lucy hoped to make Jock realize Mr. Hog’s transformation, but to Jock, it sounded like she was telling a story full of magical elements.

However, she concealed the specific details about the Standin ability.

Firstly, Hog had courteously agreed to meet her at a cafe and even arrived early to wait for her.

Then he gladly accepted her invitation to visit the hospital together.

Even more preposterous was that, faced with an armed criminal, he disregarded his personal safety and saved her life.

Do you think I’ve only known Hog Foster since yesterday?

Jock felt his intelligence was being insulted. From the first day he knew Hog, the man had never been someone who would consider the lives of the "Common People" important. If he really encountered an armed criminal, the only thing he would do is pull the nearby Lucy over to act as a human shield.

Using the lives of "Common People" to ensure he wasn’t grazed by a bullet was quite a profitable deal for Hog.

He thought Lucy must be ignorant of the true value of the Conservative Faction to concoct so many events that couldn’t possibly happen in reality. Not to mention, Richard Gervis was Hog’s best friend; those two were cut from the same cloth.

After much thought, Jock felt that everything Lucy described fitted perfectly with her own theory—these were all delusions from a person with a mental illness. She probably mistook Hog’s action of taking a bullet for her as him saving her.

He thought Lucy might need a psychologist.

Regrettably, in The First Region, it was impossible to find a better psychologist than her, and this harsh reality filled Jock with despair.

"Lucy, you haven’t come back to your senses yet. Wait until you get a good night’s sleep tonight, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, you’ll realize how absurd the things you’ve just said are."

The call was disconnected, which was not the outcome Jock wished to hear.

Elsewhere.

Having witnessed the entire strange dating process of Hog, Lu Xiang basically confirmed the hypothesis that Song Lan’s Spiritual Energy of interference could affect people, "Even the Worms would think he was parasitized if they saw Hog now."

This might be the terrifying aspect of Dumb Bird’s spread of energy—subtly turning all affected individuals into lazy and mild-mannered people. But if one thinks positively, if everyone was under this influence, the world’s crime rate might reach an all-time low, even potentially achieving the concept of world peace in some sense.

She once heard during her time at Morning Star that most of the world’s killing and strife stemmed from the desires of people’s hearts.

And the salted fish that doesn’t fight with the world wouldn’t launch an attack on another salted fish.

However, it was this outdoor observation expedition that let her witness the occurrence of a case.

While aiming and shooting at the two individuals, Orman had yelled, "They are pushing me."

This made Lu Xiang think of a Knight named Cain from The Second Region who had become a puppet controlled by "Dominate", and during a highly-attended martial combat event, he committed an irreparable act. He ultimately could not escape the fate of death. When Jasmine went to inspect his wounds, "Dominate" turned him into a Spiritual Energy bomb that exploded inwardly scattering him all over the Iris Consortium’s hospital.

As a Law Enforcer, her intuition told her that these two incidents were closely connected—and the attack on the Chairperson of the Council proved that "Dominate" had followed them out of The Second Region and come here.

After letting Dr. Bai Zhu investigate, they found out that similar incidents were already giving the local Law Enforcement department a headache.

Apart from Orman, there had been seven other incidents of murder due to workplace disputes recently, without exception, and all the criminals were shot dead on site by the anti-terrorist tactical team.

In The First Region, workplace disputes and job reassignments were not uncommon, but in the past, such conflicts rarely escalated into murder cases.

"Among the many strategies designated by the company, there is a data point called the compliance index."

Lu Xiang mentioned another piece of knowledge that Song Lan was unaware of, "In day-to-day work, especially when new employees just start their jobs, they would purposefully undergo compliance training, and the re

As Mr. Lucky had told him, Standin messengers attract each other, and the evil ones had begun to emerge...

Looking at the words "evil Standin messenger" in the text message, Song Lan and Lu Xiang fell silent at the same time.

Because traditionally, Hog Foster himself was considered a member of the evil faction, and not just any member but one of the highest-ranked, with the capacity to create more damage through the Review Meeting passing certain laws than direct crimes could ever achieve.

And now, Hog was proposing to investigate the evil Standin messengers. Lu Xiang felt these messages were full of black humor.

"I think, the influence of your Spiritual Energy is much more severe than I imagined."

Lu Xiang turned his face, looking intently at Song Lan’s.

"Comedian" is no longer sufficient to describe the changes in Hog Foster.

Believe it or not.

Starting today, Mr. Hog actually intends to become a concerned citizen.
