Chapter 131 00131
131 Chapter - You'Ve Been Set Up!
Wu Mi and her group entered the private room they had just booked.
Ye Yao emerged from Mu Luo's shadow.
After all, she couldn't show her face on the street.
And her black mist form was so eerie.
She could only go out like this.
Ye Yao still felt it was a bit inconvenient.
If only she could change her disguise.
At least look somewhat human.
Once in the private room, she no longer needed the black mist form.
While waiting for the food, Ye Yao casually found a topic to chat about with everyone.
Actually, there was indeed something to talk «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» about.
"I wonder if the Countermeasure Bureau has found the mole within the Countermeasure Bureau."
Overall, Ye Yao still had considerable faith in the Countermeasure Bureau's reliability.
There should be many Ability Users like Cheng Muxue who can identify undercover agents.
The upper limit is supported by Lou Wei.
The lower limit is guaranteed by other Ability Users combined.
It shouldn't be so easily manipulated by a Shelter.
"Who knows? Those guys seem very dangerous, easily making people lose control and go berserk. Perhaps they have many ways to evade detection."
Xia Lian was somewhat interested in this Shelter.
They caused trouble and almost wiped out Wu Mi and White Kitty.
Xia Lian wished she could have turned them into a bloody mist and then detonated it.
Not even their ashes would remain.
Jiang Huashen took out a drawing board from the scroll he carried with him.
He wasn't idle while waiting for the food.
This scene of them dining together was worth recording.
It was also good to sketch meaningful moments in life.
He painted while participating in the conversation.
"Why not let Gu Wenxin handle it? That kid has a unique identification ability; he might be able to pinpoint targets in a crowd."
"Oh, wow~"
Ye Yao looked at the silent Gu Wenxin.
Only then did she remember there was such a Countermeasure freak in the team.
"It seems it really could work."
The members of the Shelter had done so many bad things; they must have accumulated a lot of karma.
Gu Wenxin had given up conventional perception abilities and could sense the aura of evil.
He would definitely be able to find targets among a group of Countermeasure Bureau Espers.
Such a useful mechanism should have been incorporated by the Countermeasure Bureau.
Worst case, if his urge to kill acted up, Gu Wenxin could be permanently stationed in prison.
Occasionally, a few death row inmates could be brought out for him to execute.
Consider it special treatment.
"Gu Wenxin, how were you strictly controlled by the Countermeasure Bureau?"
Ye Yao asked curiously.
Gu Wenxin was silent for a moment, as if recalling, and then slowly spoke a few seconds later.
"At that time, I killed several desperadoes who broke into my home, and the Countermeasure Bureau Espers who pursued them sensed the Ability fluctuation..."
It was Ye Yao's favorite part: story time.
Gu Wenxin came from a family of police officers.
Both his parents died at the hands of extremely evil Ability Users.
Gu Wenxin naturally detested evil people.
One night.
Several desperado Ability Users broke into his home.
They tried to use this to evade the pursuit of Countermeasure Bureau Espers.
They originally intended to take Gu Wenxin hostage but unexpectedly stimulated his Ability awakening.
At that time, under intense emotion and a life-or-death crisis, Gu Wenxin easily killed several desperadoes.
Subsequently, the Countermeasure Bureau's Ability Users came to his door.
They took Gu Wenxin back to check various data.
Gu Wenxin's expression became inexplicably gloomy when he spoke of this.
"When I returned to the Countermeasure Bureau with those Ability Users, I saw a person in the Countermeasure Bureau who was full of evil.
On the surface, the person was glamorous and polite, but in reality, he carried countless departed souls.
I could see many innocent vengeful spirits wailing around him.
At that time, I was so shocked by this evil that I lost my mind."
The result was obvious.
Gu Wenxin, who extremely detested evil and had a killing frenzy, attacked that person.
His power of 'Evil Slaying' was exerted to the extreme, but it was easily stopped by the Countermeasure Bureau Espers.
"Later, the Countermeasure Bureau Espers asked me why I attacked.
I told them that person was an unforgivable villain.
Even though that person held a high position within the Countermeasure Bureau and was well-liked.
This incident did indeed attract the attention of some high-ranking officials.
That person was also taken for examination to see if there were any problems."
Ye Yao nodded upon hearing this.
The Countermeasure Bureau was quite cautious.
They didn't ignore the accusation of a small person.
They conducted an inspection on a veteran just as they said they would.
"What happened next?"
Gu Wenxin replied, "Later, they said the person had no problems and told me that the 'Evil Slaying' Ability was too dangerous, and my personality was unstable, which might lead to incorrect judgments, requiring strict control."
For Gu Wenxin, an Ability User with an overly strong killing intent.
Control was equivalent to house arrest.
During that period, the Countermeasure Bureau did have a control plan for Gu Wenxin.
To see if Gu Wenxin could break free from "cognitive bias."
And not mistake good people for bad ones.
To help Gu Wenxin strengthen his judgment.
The Countermeasure Bureau even brought captured bottom-tier Sequences before him for identification.
And he could also execute them himself.
This allowed the Countermeasure Bureau to collect data on the 'Evil Slaying' Ability.
The best way to collect data was to let them fight.
Powerful Ability Users would be present outside the arena to ensure Gu Wenxin's safety.
While the bottom-tier Sequences, being desperadoes, would try their best to kill Gu Wenxin.
It could be said that Gu Wenxin's Spiritual Power was weaker than many people's at that time.
Yet, he was able to kill B-rank and even near A-rank Ability Users with C-rank Spiritual Power.
Cross-rank combat was as simple as breathing.
This restrictive ability also made many Countermeasure Bureau Espers gasp.
"I can increase my Spiritual Power by slaying evil people; the Countermeasure Bureau Espers didn't know that at the time."
Gu Wenxin specifically mentioned this.
Other people's Spiritual Power was enhanced through combat, enlightenment, or spiritual training pods.
But Gu Wenxin had an exclusive enhancement channel.
That was slaying evil people.
Now, Gu Wenxin's Spiritual Power could increase to 2,800.
That was all fed by the Countermeasure Bureau using those eliminated bottom-tier Sequences.
However, the further he went, the harder it became to improve.
Killing low-level evil people no longer allowed Gu Wenxin to improve.
Just like the Sequence 096 he killed before.
The experience provided was negligible.
"After I had killed enough, the Countermeasure Bureau brought out the person I had initially accused for me to identify."
Gu Wenxin's tone was terrifyingly calm when he said this.
The scene at that time seemed vivid in his mind.
"How is it? After seeing so many bad people, do you still think I am a bad person?"
That person showed a peaceful smile.
"You've misunderstood me.
How could I carry so many lives on my conscience?
Because of your unproven accusation.
The higher-ups used mind judgment, lie detection abilities... all sorts of methods proved I was innocent.
I haven't killed a single person.
Could it be that you were affected by your Ability and made a cognitive error?"
"The wails of life do not lie; I will kill you sooner or later."
This was Gu Wenxin's answer at the time.
He couldn't deceive his own heart, nor could he control his killing intent towards evil people.
That person merely sighed lightly.
"Sequence 011, you will likely be controlled for a long time like this. Both your Ability and personality are very dangerous. I hope you can adapt to your current life."
From then on, Gu Wenxin was deemed an uncontrollable Sequence Esper.
He was almost facing lifelong imprisonment.
Until Mu Luo secretly infiltrated the place where Gu Wenxin was held.
Ye Yao suddenly understood after listening.
"You were set up!"
