Enforcer's Handbook

Song Lan felt that Lu Xiang's analysis this time was unreasonable.

He admitted that both "Rat" and Mr. Hogg had shown their talents as comedians, but he believed that this was not due to his ability. Maybe they just took off the masks they usually used to disguise themselves and showed their talents. Your truest self.

The slogans of other believers are "for the greater good" or "for the evolution of all mankind", but his "believers" have become comedians. This makes Song Lan very embarrassed, and she doesn't want to accept this fact.

But on the other hand, he has never thought about the impact that disturbing psychic energy may have on the disturbed object. His good friend, the former principal of Wisteria Academy who has not yet had time to reveal his name, has never talked to him about it. Having mentioned this matter, he felt that it should be an academic issue.

"actually……"

Lu Xiang hesitated to speak, but finally she made up her mind and told Song Lan about the matter in person, "I have always thought you have a talent for comedy."

In her daily life, she would always be amused by Song Lan inadvertently. You must know that when she was studying at Qiming School, she once went to the theater to watch a comedy show. The more than two hours of performance never made her laugh. He showed a smile, but it made her sleepy.

When she heard that she was assigned to District 17 after graduation, she thought she might never smile again in her life.

However, in just a few months of knowing Song Lan, she had been made laugh more times than in the past combined. Several times in public, she almost pinched the back of her hand until it bled to keep herself from being in front of her colleagues. Laughing out loud in front of them.

"I've never been funny. Not only that, I'm a pretty serious person!"

Song Lan tried to restore his reputation. He believed that Lu Xiang's accusations were not true. He usually neither told jokes nor performed exaggerated dramatic performances, nor did he do any nonsensical pranks.

"Well, you are the kind of serious and funny person, which is the most rare thing."

Lu Xiang said that she knew Song Lan didn't mean it, but many of his usual behaviors just hit her funny points. If it was a truly conscious joke, it would not have an effect on her.

She felt that Song Lan might have passed on his talent to "Rat" and Hogg through interference psychic powers.

Just as Song Lan was thinking about how to refute the other party, Mr. Hogg stabbed him in the back again.

It only lasted five minutes, and the worried Hogg sent him a series of text messages:

What should people with Stand abilities wear when meeting each other?

What topics should we talk about after meeting?

What taboo topics should be avoided?

Wouldn't it be too abrupt to send flowers when you first meet?

…

Mr. Hogg seemed to have a lot of problems, but because Song Lan had intelligently blocked him, he would get the prompt "The number you dialed is currently on a call" every time he made a call, so he could only talk about everything he thought of. Questions were sent to Song Lan via text message.

He also very politely transferred a consulting fee of 10,000 watts to Song Lan.

"I am the executive officer of the highest operations department of MI7, not a kindergarten teacher!"

Song Lan took action. He watched helplessly as Mr. Hogg turned towards a comedian and never returned. The other party even sent him a photo of a wig he bought from someone unknown. To cover up his slightly bald appearance - he had never been so formal in meetings before.

Obviously, Hogg seemed to want to leave a good first impression on the psychiatrist who was also a substitute messenger.

Lu Xiang encouraged, "Would you like to follow me and have a look?"

She is also curious about the changes that have taken place in Hogg. By observing Mr. Hogg, she can draw some theories about Song Lan's abilities, which will help her complete the "Slowbird Observation Diary".

In fact, she had noticed Song Lan's influence on the people around her a few months ago.

People in the department who have been with Song Lan for a long time will show signs of laziness, laziness and other characteristics to a greater or lesser extent. At the same time, they will become peaceful, cheerful and indifferent every day. It seems that this kind of mentality is valuable for ordinary people living in this era, but it is a bit wrong when it comes to law enforcement officers.

Lu Xiang now suspects that this may be the result of Song Lan's spiritual energy radiating to the surroundings unconsciously.

Even she has inevitably changed - when she woke up every morning some time ago, she wanted to lie in bed for a while longer.

On the other side, Mr. Hogg was nervous about meeting another substitute messenger.

This may be how the young people in the family describe the feeling of meeting netizens.

He rarely had such an opportunity. As a politician, everyone he met in the past had a purpose, even relatives and friends. In a big family like Foster, there was almost no such thing. There was pure family affection, and he had been in the middle of a power struggle for as long as he could remember.

But now, he is acting for the sake of "meeting similar people".

Hogg stood in front of the mirror, put on his wig, straightened his appearance, and chose a decent black suit. Finally, he sprayed himself with some men's perfume. Not long after, the plastic bouquet he ordered was delivered to his door. This is a specially made bouquet from a gift company owned by the Foster family. It is said that it also has a fluorescent light function inside.

Before going out, he looked at his phone again.

Mr. Rob Lucci finally wrote back.

There are no special taboos on communication between stand-ins, but there is some kind of wonderful connection between them, so that they can recognize each other at a glance in the vast sea of ​​people.

This calmed him down a little.

Hog arrived at the coffee shop downstairs a quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time - as an important figure in various gatherings in the past, he was usually the last person to attend and rarely attended early.

A few minutes later, a psychiatrist wearing a coat and a pair of sunglasses entered the door.

When their eyes met, both of them froze on the spot at the same time. After a moment, Hogg's eyes showed a trace of joy - Mr. Lucci did not deceive him. He recognized his own kind at the first time. .

Of course, this was also related to the fact that he was the only customer in the coffee shop at that time besides the staff.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Hogg, I'm Lucy."

Lucy hesitated at the door of the coffee shop for a long time before making up her mind and walking over.

Hogg's mental state was very different from what she imagined, and it was also different from any mental patient she was familiar with. Judging from Jock's description and the content of their last phone call, she could easily make up a mental state. An old man who is listless and looks extremely slovenly.

But now Hogg looked energetic and seemed to have tidied up his appearance carefully before going out. When she thought that the person in front of her was the current leader of the Foster family, she was a little flattered.

It seemed that Mr. Hogg had specially prepared a meeting gift for her.

This made Lucy question her previous diagnosis.

The reason why she asked Hogg out was very simple. Jock hoped that she could cure Hogg's mental illness, but no matter how good a psychiatrist was, he couldn't treat a patient who refused to cooperate. Therefore, before the treatment started, she had to go into the hospital first. In his heart, Hogg became a...substitute messenger.

She specifically checked a large amount of relevant information in the hospital, but she couldn't find any information about the substitutes. She still can't figure out what kind of people the substitutes are.

She would rather Hogg imagined himself as a mushroom or a pine tree.

Right now, she must figure out the true meaning of the substitute messenger as soon as possible, "Mr. Hogg..."

"You don't have to be so harsh. You can call me Hogg."

"Okay, Hogg, how did you discover your identity as a substitute?"

"Because an 'evil spirit' appeared next to me."

And this "evil spirit" happened to appear in the form of his mortal enemy, which made Hogg subconsciously think that the other party was here to persecute him.

However, Mr. Luqi’s explanation for this is that avatars are projections of human spiritual power. Their images are related to the ability of birth and the will of the original body. Because he is always thinking about the “enthusiastic citizens”, he awakens to an image similar to his. , and also has a substitute with the same type of ability.

"What kind of 'evil spirit' is it?"

Lucy continued to ask.

Hogg seemed happy that she would ask this. He stood up from the chair and waved his right hand, "Just in time, let you see my substitute!"

Lucy held her breath, and even the cafe staff cast strange glances at this table.

More than ten seconds passed, and Hogg still maintained the same posture. Unfortunately, nothing happened, which made him a little embarrassed. He explained, "I have just become a substitute user not long ago, and I haven't fully mastered this ability yet. "

This scene was also seen clearly by Song Lan and Lu Xiang across the street.

Song Lan covered his face in pain. Even he felt embarrassed for Mr. Hogg from the bottom of his heart. This kind of embarrassment of making a wonderful pose but nothing happened inexplicably made him feel the same, and he was "invincible in the universe" The setting of "Series" was equally embarrassing for Lu Xiang.

Fortunately, for him, such a thing would never happen.

Lu Xiang next to him showed an expression of "Sure enough" - now Hogg has begun to try his own performance as a comedian, and the performance is as embarrassing as the troupe that came to Qiming Academy before.

The call for a substitute failed, causing Hogg and Lucy to fall into silence.

About a minute later, Hogg suddenly thought of something and pulled out a pistol in front of Lucy.

This is a tactic tailor-made for him by Mr. Lucci - due to his limited physical strength, two seconds is too short for him, so he can only use firearms to launch surprise attacks on the enemy while time is stopped.

But now, he thought of a way to prove his identity.

Under Lucy's shocked gaze, he loaded the gun and pointed the gun at his head.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Hogg!"

Lucy was so frightened that she quickly pressed the muzzle of the gun with her hand, "There's no need for this, I know you are a substitute... Substitutes can sense each other's identities, you don't need to prove this!"

While she was talking, she saw the store clerk who was ready to call the police at any moment, and she came up with a plan and said, "It's better to keep our matter a secret and not involve ordinary people."

"You're right."

Hogg was startled and seemed to be convinced by her.

Seeing him finally put down the gun in his hand, Lucy breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she felt certain.

Mr. Hogg was seriously ill and had strong suicidal tendencies.

Jock must be informed of this matter as soon as possible.
