Mental Illness Evolution Manual - Chapter 14

The next day, they only filmed for the morning, and at noon, everyone went their separate ways, taking a two-day break before filming the rest of the content.

Yan Xianchuan followed Lu Mingqiu back to Nanjin City.

The actress’s home, just like the impression she gave people, was a large space with warm tones, arranged in a staggered way, with a faint fragrance in the air, making people feel relaxed as soon as they entered.

There were two pots of orchids on the windowsill, the emerald green leaves were spread out, full of vitality.

The light blue curtains were half-open, cutting the sunlight, a beige tapestry hung down with fine tassels, with wheat waves woven in gold thread.

“This is the bedroom, if there’s anything you don’t like, please let me know.” Lu Mingqiu said.

If Yan Xianchuan were to evaluate it, there was nothing wrong with this bedroom, except that it was too cozy, too much like a home.

“No, thank you.” Yan Xianchuan nodded politely. Her demeanor was no different from when she was filming, but some of her subtle body language was gone.

She wouldn’t deliberately get close to Lu Mingqiu, closing the distance between them, she wouldn’t stare at her for a long time, as if she didn’t want to be separated for a second.

Just a small change, the sweet atmosphere between the two of them instantly disappeared, like soap bubbles in the sun, leaving no trace.

“If you want to go out for dinner, there’s a mall downstairs, if you don’t want to go out, there’s a property phone by the bedside, tell them what you want to eat, and they can deliver it.” Lu Mingqiu said gently and politely, “Don’t be restrained.”

“I will.” Yan Xianchuan looked at the door, her intention to send her guest away was obvious.

“Filming the show is hard work, so get some rest, I won’t disturb you.” Lu Mingqiu said, exiting the room and closing the door.

They ate dinner separately, Yan Xianchuan went out and ate barbecue downstairs, she didn’t know what Lu Mingqiu ate.

While eating, Yan Xianchuan pulled out her light screen, went online and browsed, the live broadcast was very popular, even she, who never paid attention to the entertainment section, was pushed related content.

She was a little interested, she clicked on the content related to her, the comment section was quite harmonious, there were no negative comments.

This was quite unexpected.

Some people guessed her identity, the replies were all covering their mouths, because they couldn’t find anything, which actually narrowed down the scope.

Besides that, Xie Chuxiao and Doudouna’s fans were fighting fiercely, but now it was only at the stage of mutual insults, if there was no external force to stop them, it would probably soon reach the next stage – throwing dirt and digging up black history.

Doudouna wasn’t afraid, she had always been real since her debut, she didn’t hide anything, she entered the circle simply to find something to do for her hobby.

The points she could be attacked on were the old clichés of “arrogant” and “low EQ”, which were simply not painful. Fans follow their idols, Doudouna’s fans were also self-willed and had a strong attack power.

Xie Chuxiao was different, the blacker the crow, the more it cherished its feathers, he still had to wear a layer of stolen white feathers on the outside.

If you really wanted to dig up dirt, Xie Chuxiao couldn’t withstand it.

So as soon as the live broadcast ended, he posted a statement saying that the two of them had a good relationship, he didn’t think there was anything uncomfortable about what happened on the island, Doudouna’s personality was very real, he liked her very much.

Not long after, Doudouna posted, “Mind your own business, don’t drag me into it.”

Hot oil splashed water, instantly exploding.

Yan Xianchuan realized for the first time that she had a hobby of gossip, she spent the whole night watching the dirt on both sides, she was engrossed, and she couldn’t stop.

Until the person sleeping in the next bedroom suddenly disappeared.

Yan Xianchuan looked out the window, if she remembered correctly, this was the 99th floor.

Lu Mingqiu’s true identity, besides the other two leaders who were at the same level as her, and Su Hong, no one else knew.

So the only Nanjin City branch that the organization knew about was a warehouse at 153 Olive Street.

Dan You Media was unknown to the public.

The branch usually only had researchers and members assigned to guard it, not all the psionics would stay at the branch, this was to avoid being wiped out. After receiving the order, they returned from their respective safe houses and gathered together.

Every person who joined the organization had a mental imprint left in their mind, personally imposed by Lu Mingqiu, once someone betrayed, the imprint would remind her in reverse, Lu Mingqiu would immediately be alerted.

The members who could pass the approval were mostly those who had a deep grudge against the chaebols, they had the same goals and ideals, naturally they couldn’t tolerate betrayal.

Thinking that the comrades who had been like-minded were actually turning against them, becoming the running dogs of power, they wanted to devour their flesh.

From the moment the order for a full staff review was issued, the harmonious atmosphere within the organization instantly disappeared, seemingly ordinary greetings were filled with probing back and forth, their words were full of sharp edges.

In just one day, the underground interior, which had stopped external communication, was like a volcano that had begun to erupt, silently accumulating heat. The restless hearts were suppressed when Lu Mingqiu arrived.

She was still wearing a full disguise, under the ordinary mask, her eyes were like falcons poised to strike.

“I am very reluctant to issue this order, it means that the relationship between us, the relationship of mutual trust where we can entrust our lives, has developed a crack.”

“I am also unwilling to believe that among the people here, there will be someone who succumbs to profit, who is seduced by power, and chooses to abandon their comrades.”

“But the fact of the operation’s failure is right in front of us, forcing me to believe, forcing me to doubt.”

“I sincerely hope I’m wrong.”

Lu Mingqiu’s gaze swept across the room, some were angry, some were indifferent, some were observing the expressions of others, she stood at the head, taking in everyone’s demeanor.

“Let’s start with the people who were with me last time.”

After she finished speaking, she took the lead in pushing open the side door and walked towards the next room.

The first person to come in was Gold Ring, he sat down in the chair, his expression was open.

“How’s your arm healing?” Lu Mingqiu asked, her tone still relatively gentle.

“This little injury, with the doctor’s skills, it’s already healed.” Gold Ring shook his arm, indicating that everything was normal.

“That’s good.” Lu Mingqiu said, “Relax your mind.”

Gold Ring closed his eyes, without any resistance, he let Lu Mingqiu’s mental power invade his brain.

Actually, with Lu Mingqiu’s psionic level, even if he resisted, it wouldn’t be of any use. The information provided by the organization said that she was an A-level mental psionic, but she was actually S-level.

Everyone’s brain’s automatic protection was like a soap bubble in her eyes, it would burst with a single poke.

But Lu Mingqiu was used to using language to lower people’s guard, at the same time, her psionic ability was constantly in use, this was the real reason why she had such strong affinity.

It wasn’t brainwashing, it wasn’t hypnosis, it was a subtle influence.

It made her appear more harmless, more approachable in the eyes of others, making people unconsciously relax their guard, get close to her, and make more people like her.

The organization needed a public figure, everything she had done so far was laying the groundwork for this.

What could be more visible to the public than a well-known public figure?

Gold Ring had no problem, none of the people who had been with her last time had any problems.

The review was proceeding steadily, everyone who came out had a relaxed expression, they chatted in low voices in groups of two or three, at the same time, they looked at the remaining people with suspicious eyes.

The traitor was most likely hiding among them.

Once there really was an inside man, he would definitely not survive.

“You seem a little nervous.” A person wearing a black diamond pendant walked over, it was Mirror.

She could change her appearance at will, only a very few people knew her true face. She used a different appearance every time, but she would always wear this necklace around her neck to identify herself.

This time, she looked like a gentle old lady.

Poison Sting put his hands in his pockets, “I’m nervous?” He deliberately retorted, “I think you’re getting old and your eyes are failing, when have I ever been nervous?”

Mirror pushed up her reading glasses, and when she smiled, she showed a mouthful of shiny ceramic dentures, “Young man, why are you so angry.”

“Just chatting, that’s all.”

Poison Sting snorted, wiping the sweat from his palm into his pocket.

Yellow Canary’s mental psionic ability was very tricky, almost all the traitors were caught by her, her ability, combined with the brain machine’s assistance, was like adding wings to a tiger, everyone had no secrets left.

The side effects of the brain machine were significant. Ordinary people would invariably experience a week of mental instability after use, rendering them incapable of self-care. Well-trained soldiers could recover in about four or five days, while psionics required a two to three-day buffer period.

Besides, this thing was very rare, the organization only had two. After using it last time, it was already transported away, so this time, only she was doing the review.

Psionics’ mental strength was a little stronger, but compared to Yellow Canary ( Lu Mingqui ), it was like hitting a rock with an egg, as long as she wanted, she could easily look through people’s memories, even details that the original owner had forgotten, as long as they existed in the brain, she could know them completely.

Poison Sting didn’t know if he could escape this time.
