76. Perception (reading, ah, a little bit lower)
"I thought your ability would only work if you were in close contact." Qin Lan looked at Ma En and exclaimed.
He explained:
"The closer I get, the stronger my ability is, but I was lucky just now. If he hadn't wanted to get close to me, I wouldn't have been able to bring him close enough. And if he wasn't close enough, I couldn't let him forget.
Keep the flame alive.
"And without you, I can only control him in place. It would be very difficult to engage in a mental confrontation with such a high-level creature, and I wouldn't be able to cause any real harm to him."
Of course, if they are ordinary level III ability users who are not good at mental power, the final distance is enough for Ma En to completely erase their memories.
But at most, it would only allow a person with the same level of ability to reach the state of confusion for ten minutes before he lost his memory. And if he was facing a person with abilities like a devil or a person with lycanthropy, he would not be able to erase it from his memory.
What real damage does the ability cause.
Of course, he can then directly use the "disintegration" technique to eliminate his opponent in the real world.
Qin Lan shook his head:
"But if you cooperate with anyone with sufficiently destructive abilities, your power will increase exponentially."
Of course that includes her.
Hu Weifeng stood up in a daze and looked at the situation for more than ten seconds before he suddenly remembered what had happened here.
"I didn't expect that I am the esper with the weakest combat ability in the entire coordination bureau." He said with a hint of ridicule, "I didn't expect that you could kill a devil so easily."
Man said:
"This is because he doesn't understand my abilities. Although I can destroy other people's ability to resist at close range, they won't be affected by me as long as they are far enough away.
"In modern society, the flow of information is quite convenient, and as long as my strengths and weaknesses are exposed, killing me is just a matter of bullets."
After hearing his words, Qin Lan agreed and nodded:
"Indeed, your power is quite dangerous when you are unguarded. Almost all Level III ability users will not be your opponent in a face-to-face situation.
“But if specific information is known, a well-trained sniper can kill you, and in complex battles, there is a small chance that the unintentional aftermath will kill you.
"And we all only get one chance.
"In the final analysis, the strongest point of memory erasure is not combat."
Ma En agreed:
"That's right."
Incomplete memory erasure is exactly that.
But in the case of the Unrememberable, the so-called exposure of information is simply nonsense. No one can know his abilities, or even be aware of his existence at all.
But even the current level of memory erasure can increase Ma En's danger level at close range several times.
Hu Weifeng imagined with excitement:
"But if you join forces with the boss, you can kill such a monster so easily."
Ma En looked at Qin Lan and asked:
"Would this devil be difficult for you to handle without us?"
She smiled and said:
"Of course not, as long as he is not in a completely isolated place, his flames and magic can't even catch up with my walking speed, and I can definitely kill him as long as I wait for the opportunity.
"If it really doesn't work, I can run away."
If it weren't for the presence of Ma En, Hu Weifeng, and other Coordination Bureau employees, Qin Lan wouldn't have to counteract the devil's attack, nor would she have to try to protect the other two. The entire battle would have been under her control.
Man said:
"The key point is the risk. My ability is only strong at close range, and some people with abilities may have uncontrollable destructive abilities even if they are affected by me."
Qin Lan already understood what he meant:
"Xiao Feng, write in the report that it was you who disturbed the devil's spirit that allowed me to seize the opportunity and successfully drive him away."
Marn doesn't want to fight, and his ability is not suitable for frequent battles. Even if it is used against something, it is best to only use it at the right and important time.
Hu Weifeng was stunned for a moment and immediately understood why Qin Lan did this.
"OK."
As Ma En said, what he fears most about memory erasure is that he will be given specific information in advance, which will prevent those who want to deal with him from getting close enough.
The information gap is much more important to him than other ability users, so Qin Lan wants to keep Ma En's specific situation secret.
But why can’t it even be mentioned in the report?
Qin Lan saw his expression.
She straightened her expression and said:
"This matter is very strange. Normally, it is impossible for devil believers to summon in prison. I can only think of a more likely situation, that is, they knew the specific structure inside in advance, which means...
…
"There is a mole."
Hu Weifeng immediately asked:
"Is it Huang Qingfeng?"
Qin Lan narrowed her eyes and said:
"It would be nice if it was just him, but if something like this leaks out, it's definitely not something that just one member of the Supervision Department can do. I'm afraid the situation is much more serious than we thought.
"Marn, if anyone asks you about what happened today, tell them that the Coordination Bureau requires confidentiality, even from the church.
"If they have questions, I will answer them myself."
He nodded and said:
"OK."
Qin Lan said solemnly:
"If the facts are really what I guess, the problems we have to face will be far more difficult than they are now. It is best to find ways to speed up the process of dealing with the hell believers.
"I will try to see if I can apply for assistance, but to be honest, it may be difficult. The entire Coordination Bureau is not particularly well-staffed now, and the Yin and Yang twins are actually quite strong level IV ability users."
She ordered to Hu Weifeng:
"I want you to start investigating Ren Shizhi to see if this matter has anything to do with him. The interrogation work must be suspended before the prison system is updated.
"You should go find him and ask him now."
Hu Weifeng nodded solemnly:
"OK."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Qin Lan looked at Ma En and said:
"You will have more leisure during this period, but if approved by the superiors, you and Xiaofeng may have to interrogate Ren Shizhi, but it is difficult to pass such an inter-department application in a short time, and I don't think it will be asked.
What's going on?"
She paused and said in a questioning tone:
"Qin Luan came to me today and said that she would have to handle some special work for you, and she would ensure your safety during the process and that there would be no dangerous situations.
"Do you think it is okay?"
Qin Lan is really asking for Ma En's consent.
