How did Gao Qi know? It was a wild guess, a wild guess, a wild guess.
Psychic ability users were extremely rare. In the past, there were only three known psychic ability users in the world, including Huang Fei and Han Ruofeng. They were Gao Qi's closest friends in the world.
Then, Gao Qi killed two psychic ability users. One of them was Liu Tao. Although it was announced that Liu Tao was a mutant, he was the third psychic ability user to awaken in Morning Dawn City.
The other one was the gay man who had killed countless people in Fog City. He was a psychic ability user who could kill mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Fog City without being discovered.
Psychic ability users were Gao Qi's next research direction, but now, he was considered an expert in psychic ability users. Of course, he was also the natural enemy of psychic ability users.
Han Ruofeng's ability was to tell if a person was lying, but he couldn't detect if Gao Qi was lying.
Huang Fei could see the type and strength of a person's ability, but this ability was useless and meaningless against Gao Qi.
After Liu Tao awakened, he could completely control others like a marionette, but his ability was useless against Gao Qi.
There was also the psycho from Fog City. He could affect other people's senses, but it was ineffective against Gao Qi.
Because psychic ability users were too rare, many people couldn't tell if they were psychic ability users or even realize their existence. However, Gao Qi had dealt with psychic ability users too many times. He was more familiar with psychic ability users than most people. It could even be said that the psychic ability users he was most familiar with were psychic ability users.
Therefore, after encountering some abnormal phenomena, Gao Qi would wonder if it was the work of psychic ability users.
For example, the rise of Sin City and the untimely existence of slavery.
Although the cataclysm had happened and the world had lost its original order and law, for most people, slavery was a system that had been eliminated.
It was actually very common for the strong to enslave the weak. In the wasteland, where there was no law and order, it was normal for slaves to appear. However, this kind of enslavement of others was normal on a small scale. It was abnormal for slavery to become an official system in a city.
Gao Qi had always wondered why Sin City normalized and institutionalized slavery and even had professional slave-hunting teams. This wasn't just a question of morality. In fact, in the face of human greed, morality was something that could be completely abandoned.
If the City of Sin only wanted to maximize its benefits, it would be normal for it to use agriculture as the foundation of the city since it lacked an industrial base and had no way to restore industry like other cities. But even if it was mainly for agriculture, there was no need to use slavery at all.
It had nothing to do with morality and only focused on profits. The efficiency of slavery was too low. In this current environment, as long as the city was willing to expand, land wouldn't be a problem. Population was the most precious resource. Therefore, if Sin City wanted to develop agriculture, they only needed to provide the most basic security and material support to the wastelanders, and the wastelanders wouldn't take the initiative to move forward.
But now, the City of Sin had adopted the slavery system, and they had to send slave raiders to capture slaves. The Desolate Folk had to hide, and if they couldn't hide, they would have to fight with weapons. Although the City of Sin had the absolute initiative, it was inefficient and costly. It was not worth it at all, okay?
If it was just to satisfy the satisfaction of killing and seizing, there was no need for the City of Sin's City Lord to use the slave system. As the City Lord, if he couldn't get his hands on a beautiful woman, he could just kill whoever he didn't like. He couldn't possibly find a sense of satisfaction from the slaves, right?
The birth and development of slavery in Sin City was illogical. It was completely forced by someone. There must be a reason for this abnormality. Since it was illogical, then he had to think about the reason for it.
Gao Qi knew all too well about psychic ability users. He knew the biggest characteristic and also the biggest secret of psychic ability users.
Obsession. Every psychic ability user had an obsession.
Han Ruofeng's obsession was to protect, Huang Fei's obsession was to be lecherous, Liu Tao's obsession was to control, and the psychic ability user in Fog City's obsession was to be gay.
Then, could it be that the mayor of Sin City started slavery because of his obsession? And if a mayor who was obsessed with slavery could succeed, could it be because he was a psychic ability user that he could influence many people and help him realize his dream or obsession?
Gao Qi only needed to state his own judgement or guess. If he guessed wrongly, Ao Tuo would at most say that he was wrong. However, if he guessed correctly, there would be a lot of benefits to be gained. Gao Qi, on the other hand, only needed to state his own judgement or guess. If he guessed wrongly, Ao Tuo would only say that he was wrong.
Just like now, Ao Tuo still wanted to keep Gao Qi in suspense, but Gao Qi saw right through him. Gao Qi wanted to push back his sense of superiority first. Ao Tuo did not think that just because he knew a secret, he would have the upper hand. That meant that his secret would inspire Gao Qi.
Otto wanted to cooperate in a way that Gao Qi couldn't refuse. Even if they were allies, he had to be the one leading. But now, he felt like a clown, and Gao Qi's image was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Gao Qi didn't say how he knew. After waiting for a long time without getting an answer, Otto finally said, "Okay, then do you know what the mayor of Sin City's biggest secret is?"
Gao Qi said without hesitation, "He's a black man."
But Gao Qi still guessed.
The reason was very simple. In the main areas of the world, in the main civilizations, and in the main countries, slavery was a system that had been eliminated thousands of years ago. On a large scale, the victims of slavery were mainly black people. But now, when the world returned to the wilderness because of the Cataclysm, who would still be obsessed with slavery?
If it were white people, their target would be black slaves. But it was obvious that Sin City's target was white people. So, a person who worked hard to turn white people into slaves was more likely to be black people.
In addition, Otto said that it was a secret that could allow Gao Qi to quickly take over Sin City. What else was there to guess? The answer was obvious.
So, was the truth as Gao Qi guessed?
Otto was silent for too long, which made it impossible for Gao Qi to quickly get confirmation. However, after a full ten seconds, Otto finally said, "Sorry, I … Well, since you know everything, then I don't need to say anything more. I'm very happy that we can work together. Let's keep in touch …"
Ao Tuo was at a loss of what to do. He hated himself for being too clumsy. Since Gao Qi knew that the City Lord of Sin City was a psychic ability user, how could he not know that he was a black man?
However, Gao Qi only wanted to attack Otto's sense of superiority. He didn't want to miss this excellent opportunity to get information, so he immediately said, "Wait, don't rush. I know very little. Can you tell me everything you know? Please be more detailed."
