From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

When Lu Heng, Su Muyu, and Jian Qing entered the crime scene, they found that Zhuo Hongjun and Chen Zihang were also there.

In addition, there is Li Zhaofeng, a senior inspector of the Capital Iron Blood Investigation Bureau.

After the introduction, Lu Heng and Li Zhaofeng shook hands and became acquainted.

There was a guard at the scene describing what happened.

While on the road, I listened to some case stories intermittently.

After hearing the complete explanation at the scene this time, Lu Heng finally connected the whole thing.

Alex Austin does show up, but things are not as previously thought.

Among the guards tonight, Zhuo Hongjun is the lieutenant on duty with the rank of captain. He is also the highest ranking among the guards on duty tonight.

In other words, before the incident alerted the superiors and sent a general to command the operation, Zhuo Hongjun was the person with the highest military rank tonight, and he was in charge of the scene.

Although the guard did not name Zhuo Hongjun suspiciously, by combining what he said, we can roughly deduce what happened.

Before coming over, the news that Lu Heng and Jian Qing had been hearing was that Alex Austin attacked the Academy of Sciences.

This news sounds a bit scary, a blatant attack on the Academy of Sciences, which is outrageous no matter how you hear it.

In the age of the abyss, anything outrageous can happen.

However, there is another story behind tonight's incident.

Now that he heard the complete account of the incident at the scene, Lu Heng figured out what was going on.

In fact.

Alex Austin didn't actually attack, but he did show up.

He appeared near the Third Research Institute on the side of the Academy of Sciences, and was discovered by the Perceptor among the guards that night.

After the Perceptor guards discovered Alex Austin, they immediately reported it, and naturally they reported it to Zhuo Hongjun.

Because he was the highest-ranking lieutenant among the guards on duty that night.

After Zhuo Hongjun heard the news, he chose to report it.

So far, there are no problems.

However, after Zhuo Hongjun reported Alex Austin's whereabouts, he immediately led a team of guards to arrest Alex Austin.

Fighting also broke out, causing quite a commotion.

This led to a flaw in the Academy of Sciences' guards, and subsequent data theft occurred.

Of course, there are some details in this matter that Lu Heng deduced.

During the guard's narration, there was no problem with Zhuo Hongjun's decision-making.

Discover enemy spies, report the information, and then go out to arrest them.

It seems that there is no problem.

It just turned out to be a problem.

If he were to be held accountable, Zhuo Hongjun would definitely have to review it, but given his background, that was all. At most, he would be held responsible for making a rash move.

Others might not be able to hear it, but after Lu Heng and Jian Qing heard it, they looked at each other and guessed the reason that others didn't know.

The reason why Zhuo Hongjun chose to attack rashly was to capture Alex Austin.

The reason is also very simple.

Naturally it’s because of the skill [Damage Recall].

When we were at the training base, we decided on a way to compete for this skill. Whoever catches Alex Austin will get this skill.

Tonight, Zhuo Hongjun discovered Alex Austin. For him, this was the best opportunity. Naturally, he immediately took action and brought his supernatural warriors to take down Alex Austin in one fell swoop. .

As a result, because he took away a group of guards, the security force of the Academy of Sciences was compromised, and a hard drive that backed up Sykes' technological data was lost.

After listening to the guard's story, Lu Heng and Jian Qing both guessed what was going on, but the most important thing now was to recover the hard drive.

Later, Lu Heng and his party, led by the guard captain, passed through three security checks before entering the computer room where the hard drive was lost.

You have to go through three security checks before and after. From the perspective of strict scrutiny, it is actually very strict.

The guard captain said: "Under normal circumstances, no spies can enter these three security checks, but those who came in last night were scientific researchers from the hospital and have the authority to pass these three security checks."

There is really no solution to this problem. The researchers were mind-controlled and then took out the hard drive.

With this kind of extraordinary power, no matter how strict the security check is, it is difficult to prevent it.

Subsequently.

Lu Heng saw the host from which the hard drive had been taken away. There was a lock on the outside of the host, but the lock was broken. The hard drive was violently removed and even a corner was broken off.

Although a corner of the hard drive was broken off, it did not affect the ability to retrieve the data inside through technology.

Lu Heng stared at the destroyed host and asked, "Has all the data been lost?"

The deputy dean on the side quickly explained: "No, we adopted the method of separate backup. According to the data in different fields, it was divided into more than a hundred copies. Only one of them was lost, mainly the controllable nuclear fusion part."

Lu Heng frowned when he heard that the information on controllable nuclear fusion was lost.

Controllable nuclear fusion is a 1.0 technology and a landmark technology for planetary civilization.

After mastering controllable nuclear fusion, civilization will move from planetary civilization to stellar civilization.

Therefore, the significance of this technology is very significant.

Fortunately, only some of the scientific and technological information was lost, not all of it. This is not the worst situation.

Subsequently.

Lu Heng went to the monitoring room and replayed the process of the researcher entering the computer room and taking away the hard drive.

In the surveillance video, the researcher looked normal, but what he did was obviously not of his subjective will.

After Lu Heng read it, his conclusion was the same as his previous analysis.

"This person is indeed under mind control, and his opponent is well prepared."

By observing the status of this scientific researcher, Lu Heng speculated that there are two possibilities for this mental control skill.

One is C-level [Spiritual Control], and the other is B-level [Will to Dominate].

If it is C-level [mental control], then the distance of this controller will not exceed two hundred meters.

If it is a B-level [Will to Dominate], the distance can exceed one thousand meters.

There is a big difference between the two.

If the distance is no more than two hundred meters, it means that the controller is very close to the Academy of Sciences.

If it is more than a thousand meters, it will be more difficult to find.

As for which of the two skills it is, you can't tell just by looking at the surveillance video.

Lu Heng turned around and asked the guard captain: "At the time of the incident, did you find any suspicious people around the Academy of Sciences?"

"How big is the surrounding area?" the guard captain asked thoughtfully.

"It's right where the hard drive was lost, two hundred meters around." Lu Heng said.

"This range is very small, even to the entrance of the Academy of Sciences." The guard captain frowned.

"Then call the surveillance cameras on the surrounding streets to see if there are any suspicious people." Lu Heng arranged the work.

The guard captain did not move, but looked at instructor Liu.

Instructor Liu nodded and said, "Assign someone to do it."

Subsequently.

Lu Heng got the information of the controlled researcher and found that the researcher was not a superpower, but just an ordinary person.

After the abyss falls, not everyone is willing to wake up.

Because, according to the currently accepted information, it is believed that after awakening as a person with powers, he will be recruited by the Abyss battlefield.

As for the recruitment rules, they have not yet been fully explored.

Therefore, many ordinary people who do not want to be recruited into the abyss battlefield will choose not to awaken.

Among the scientific researchers, many want to concentrate on scientific research, and the proportion of those who choose not to awaken will be higher.

Lu Heng saw that the researcher was not a superpower, so he asked, "Isn't he a superpower?"

"Yes, Liu Gong has not awakened." The guard captain nodded.

"Can you show me the list of scientific researchers in the Academy of Sciences tonight? It would be better if the information is more detailed." Lu Heng made the request again.

Instructor Liu is here to watch, and he is always following Lu Heng's requirements.

Therefore, the guard captain went to get the list of people who were at the Academy of Sciences tonight.

After Lu Heng read it, he found that among the researchers at the Academy of Sciences tonight, only two people had the authority to pass the three security checks.

One is Liu Gong, who has been silenced, and the other is the scientific research director, but this scientific research director is a superpower, level 10.

Moreover, the scientific research director has a higher level of authority.

In other words, if you control this scientific research director, you can actually steal more scientific and technological information.

However, this mind controller did not do this, but chose unawakened scientific researchers.

Relatively speaking, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist mind control.

It is indeed easier to control ordinary people, but the scientific research director is only level 10, which is not particularly high.

Being able to be sent here to carry out such a task of stealing scientific research secrets, the level of this psychic superpower cannot be low.

In this case, the unawakened scientific researchers were chosen.

Instead of finding ways to obtain more scientific and technological information.

There was only one reason. He was not sure about controlling this level 10 scientific research director.

A level 10 scientific research director will definitely have higher mental attributes, but since he is not a combat-type superpower, there is a limit to how high he can be.

If the skill used by this mind control superpower is [Controlling Will], then controlling a level 10 superpower would be easy.

B-level [Will to Dominate] is very strong.

Lu Heng has personally experienced this skill used by Hasegawa Satoshi, so he knows exactly how powerful this skill is.

Even Lu Heng would lose control for a moment, but a level 10 scientific research director would not be able to resist.

However, this spiritual superpower still chose an ordinary researcher who had not yet awakened.

There is only one possibility. It is difficult for him to control a level 10 scientific research director with his skills.

In other words, this mind controller's skill is not B-level [Will Control], but C-level [Spiritual Control].

After Lu Heng discovered this, he said in a determined tone: "With all the surveillance around Chaco Academy, I am sure that there must be a person with mental powers who has appeared around."

After listening to this, Instructor Liu frowned, but when he saw Lu Heng was so sure, he chose to believe it and said loudly: "Send more manpower to check the surveillance cameras in the surrounding neighborhoods and find this person!"
