"That's impossible!"
He exclaimed. "Is this your true power? Then why did you run away? "
The cigar man cursed the informant a million times in his heart. Such a terrifying ability and such a huge oversight. They were simply trying to ruin their agency!
This level of power was probably beyond the ranks of an A-level wanted criminal. They would need to mobilize a higher-level agency to try and take her down.
"Can't I play with you?"
The spiritual fox smiled beautifully. No one noticed the bloody bandages under her coat. "This is just a lesson for you. Remember not to provoke me in the future. Scram!"
She raised her eyebrows. The cigar man hesitated for a moment, then turned to leave.
He had to leave! With the spiritual fox's power, she could easily destroy them here. This matter was far beyond his level.
The cigar man decided to report to his superiors when he got back. He would punish those perfunctory investigators and raise the spiritual fox's danger level by two levels!
Once he left, his subordinates followed. Not long after, the entire factory returned to silence.
"Come out, I still have to thank you for saving me!"
The spiritual fox's face turned pale. She could barely stand and sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Just when she thought she was at her wit's end, a voice suddenly entered her ears, claiming to be able to help her.
If she had not gritted her teeth and tried, she would have become a captive.
However, she was even more wary of this unknown existence.
"Are you afraid of me?"
A voice came from the darkness. It was hoarse and dry, as if someone was scratching a glass with their fingernails. It gave people goosebumps unconsciously.
"But … the current you has no ability to fight back. You're just a little brat who has activated a bit of your special ability!"
The voice chuckled coldly. The spiritual fox felt nauseous and almost fainted.
After a while, the mysterious voice continued. "Everything that happened just now was indeed your doing. I only used a bit of my mental strength to stimulate your original potential, allowing you to do things that you can only do in the future! Of course, the huge consumption and overdraft of your mental strength came at a price. The current you can't even defeat a three-year-old child … "
"That's my ability!"
The spiritual fox was shocked, and a glimmer of light appeared in its eyes.
Needless to say, the ability of group hypnosis would be almost invincible if one could obtain it.
"Hehe …"
The mysterious man on the opposite side seemed to have seen through her inner thoughts and let out an inexplicable smile, "It's just a few hypnosis techniques, what's so great about it? This time, you're lucky that your opponents are all ordinary people, otherwise … "
"Who are you?"
The spiritual fox lay on the ground, completely giving up on resisting.
In any case, with the abilities displayed by the other party, even if she was at her peak, she would not be able to fight back. Rather than that, she might as well not resist, lest she infuriate the other party. In any case, she did not think that the other party had any ill intentions.
"Your name?"
The mysterious man asked.
"Dia Field! Of course, they now call me 'Seductive Fox'! "
Dia laughed at herself.
"You're not from the Golden Oak Kingdom. What are you doing in Yinchao City?"
The other party seemed to be very interested in her background.
"As you can see, in order to escape arrest, I was originally an ordinary psychologist in the Bauhinia Federation …"
Dia laughed bitterly, "Until I 'awakened' my special ability …"
"Awakened?"
In the dark, Wu Ming curled his lips, speechless, "It's just a bit of Spirit Enhancement, is it really that great?"
"Spirit Enhancement?"
Dia looked confused, causing Wu Ming to sigh even more.
He knew that the one he had hooked was probably a wild fellow. To think that he had wanted to catch a werewolf, vampire, or something like that. From then on, he would have come into contact with the underworld.
Who would have thought that the other party was a rookie even more inexperienced than him?
"Spirit Enhancement? Special ability? "
Dia immediately thought of Wu Ming as some powerful old monster, "Sir, can you give me some pointers?"
"Pointers? Let's talk about it later. Who are those people? Why are you wanted by them? "
"The International Special Search Office, a secret organization. They should have the support of big countries like the Bauhinia Federation, and specialize in capturing major international criminals!"
Dia laughed bitterly.
"Major criminal?!"
Wu Ming was not surprised at all, "What did you do?"
"I have a younger sister who met a scumbag. I hypnotized that scumbag and made him end his rights as a man … After that, he went crazy and committed suicide … But I didn't expect that his family was actually a large financial group in the federation …"
Dia said briefly, "After that, in order to escape arrest, I had to do many things …"
"I see …"
The mysterious person in the dark was silent for a moment, "Can you leave? You need to leave this place immediately … Although the people from the Special Search Office have left, I can't rule out the possibility of them coming back with an army or a sniper … "
"I … don't have any strength left …"
Dia shook her head.
"That's easy, Confrontation!"
The mysterious person in the dark said a mysterious note.
The moment this note came out, Dia only felt a warm current flowing through her body. Even the wound on her arm did not hurt as much, especially her drowsy head. It was as if a clear stream had been injected into it, and she immediately woke up.
"Let's go!"
A thin and tall silhouette appeared from the dark and waved.
…
"Why did you save me?"
The two of them snuck out of the factory and walked along a small path until they reached a dense forest beside a small river. Dia finally could not hold it in any longer and asked on her own.
"Did you meet anyone like you while you were on the run? I mean … someone with special abilities! "
Wu Ming's tone became more serious.
"A few, but people like us are too cautious, so we split up after working together a few times …"
"On the other hand, I know of another of my kind in this city. It's because of a music box …" Dia replied nonchalantly.
Seeing that she had even told him about the music box, Wu Ming knew that this spiritual fox was telling the truth, but he still felt a little depressed.
After all, it wasn't something to be happy about if he only caught a small shrimp.
"Alright … I can give you some pointers on how to use your mental strength, and in return, you have to work for me … Don't worry, it's not something too difficult. Think about it!"
With the attitude of recycling trash, Wu Ming offered a price to recruit her.
This kind of technique was the most beneficial and inexpensive, and he could even teach her half and keep the other half. It was like tying a carrot in front of a donkey, enticing her to work for him.
"What will you do if I don't agree? Kill me? "
Dia suddenly asked.
"I won't!"
Wu Ming was not a murderous person. Besides, how could he bear to kill such a rare Extraordinaire? At most, he would just treat her as a test subject.
"Alright, I promise you!"
Dia heaved a sigh of relief.
"Very good. One day, you'll realize that your decision today was not wrong!"
Wu Ming smiled slightly. "I will leave something for you first. You should recuperate well. If you want to see me, put three white cobblestones under the statue of the Goddess of Victory in the city center garden. That night, we will meet here!"
"Got it! Boss! "
Dia ran her fingers through her hair and suddenly smiled. "Since I've decided to work for you, shouldn't you show me what you look like?"
"There's no need for that!"
Wu Ming immediately rejected her.
Maintaining a certain sense of mystery was the only way to keep his subordinates in check.
Besides, if Dia saw that he was just a brat, she would probably betray him and run away immediately.
…
After teaching Dia some techniques, Wu Ming immediately turned around and left.
After making sure that there was no one around, he suddenly took off his robe and hat.
As if by magic, his tall and thin body suddenly withered, and there was only a little boy of about ten years old left.
"Phew …"
After putting away the things, Wu Ming let out a long breath. "I didn't gain much from this operation. I'm really unlucky. But I got a subordinate, and that's still acceptable …"
What he taught Dia was naturally not a Taoist technique, and she definitely could not learn it herself.
What she could learn at this stage was only some techniques to use her spiritual power.
Even if it was just a little, it would probably be enough to improve her hypnotism by one or two levels. At the very least, she would not be in such a sorry state if she had to face tonight's encirclement again.
'It's just that … apart from Dia herself, it seems that even the International Special Search Office only treats her as a dangerous criminal. They did not realize much …'
Through today's operation, Wu Ming noticed many things.
'But that's normal. Dia is a psychiatrist to begin with, and it's very normal for her to know hypnotism. As for the unexpectedly good results … What kind of technology can explain what's going on in the brain?
'Even the dual-gun Jack from before only ran a little faster and had a little stronger limbs. Perhaps he was just treated as a top-notch special forces soldier?
'If that's the case, the decline of extraordinary powers in this world is even greater than I imagined … Also, it didn't attract too much attention from the international and domestic countries … If that's the case, it's actually a good thing.'
Wu Ming turned around and entered his room. He stuffed his trench coat into a box and hid it under his bed. Then, he changed into his sleeping robe and sat cross-legged on his bed.
Using this method of meditation, he only needed to sleep for an hour a day, and he would be full of energy the next day. Otherwise, he would not have the energy to deal with all this.
