”Captain Xiao, our Defense Division is waiting for its revival. Many members, including Captain Hu were killed during the last mission. As we suffered a great loss, your responsibility is indeed of large scale,” Mayor Song said painfully, ”And your current most important mission is to reform the Defense Division upon your return. Also, learn from this lesson and improve the security system. Are you confident enough to undertake this task?”

Not long after Xiao Baihong left the sewer, some police and military personnel came by, wanting him to go to the city council office. At the beginning, he was worried and had doubts, thinking that it was a trap. After some hesitation, he decided to go.

He found out that he was not caught upon arrival, but had an important mission instead! Xian Baihong was stunned for a moment before he could recover, and assured loudly, ”Don’t worry, sir! I hereby make a military pledge to promise that the last mistake will not be repeated again in the Defense Division!”

”Very well, I hope that you can deliver as promised. You may head back first and if possible, do submit a proposal by tomorrow,” Mayor Song said.

Mo Li sent Xiao Baihong to the gate. She then saw him off with her bashful and innocent face, without so much as a flicker of smile.

There were too many unpredictable situations recently that caught her off guard, hence, she now handled them passively!

With her strong ability and cautiousness, she soon controlled the top ranking people of the Desert City. Nevertheless, before she could heave a sigh of relief, what came after was truly shocking. First of all, the Spec and Mr. Xie lost their lives and then, Su Yu was killed unbeknownst to many, at the city council.

In fact, Su Yu was very strong, and even had a record of killing a level six mutated beast. As he was the strongest evolved person she had ever seen, he was the strongest force she had. Therefore, his death made her feel insecure.

Her ability was similar to hypnosis but is much stronger, being able to penetrate deeper and have a stronger hold on the psyche. Common hypnosis can only hypnotize one’s subconscious mind, but she could manipulate one’s memory through their subconsciousness.

Hypnotizing only the subconscious mind allows one to break loose should one begin to feel uncomfortable, or when it goes against one’s subconscious. However, manipulating the memory through a subconscious mind leaves no chance for the person to break lose, as it affects the deepest part of the brain, where the most memories were stored. Manipulation had the power to make one believe – no questions asked – as the memories which contradict with their conscience will be rebooted.

In other words, it can be considered as repairs made in one’s memory!

For instance, when everyone in the city council was given an impression that she was Mayor Song’s nice, nobody, even Mayor Song himself, doubted her identity. Over time, a conditioned memory had been formed.

A memory is not only the most precious asset of human beings but also one that is sacred and inviolable. The idea of ”I” is formed as a result of memory, hence, the ability to distort one’s memory was indeed terrifying.

She knew that if her ability was made known and exposed, no matter how she pleaded for mercy, it would be rendered useless.

Since Su Yu died, she felt that danger was creeping closer, as if a pair of indifferent eyes was watching her in the dark. If she errs, she will be struck down. The omnipresent danger had made her feel oppressed and frustrated, but she had no choice but to disguise herself. Even if she sent Hawk Eye to hell, she had no idea what could possibly happen!

She muttered to herself, and clenched her fists until her knuckles were pale, ”Could it be him?”

If anyone wanted to identify the most dubious person, he would be the strongest evolved person at Desert City, Luo Yuan – without a doubt.

Previously, she tried to control Luo Yuan, but his soul’s defense was extraordinarily strong. If the defense of a commoner was akin to a fence where she could easily climb over, in comparison, the defense of Luo Yuan’s soul would be likened to a thick and strong wall. As she was worried of being noticed, she only attempted for a very short while before stopping.

Then, she was startled from her deep thought by a few knocks on her door.
