Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 272 How about we meet?
After all that rambling, you're still just using armored systems to find people, aren't you?

After giving Xia Qiyuan a look of disdain, Gao Bin focused his gaze on Mu Si's palm: "He's the guy who erased my memories? But why am I now..."

Gao Bin was somewhat puzzled.

Why did I subconsciously avoid Mus just now, but not now?

Does that mean that as long as you control the other person, the avoidance mechanism in your brain will fail?

"of course not."

Xia Qiyuan had at least dealt with Muslims back then.

I saw his picture not long ago, so I can't have forgotten him so quickly: "This guy's name is Mus, and he's the Hermit's partner."

"The hermit... So the hermit is the real one?"

Looking at the mark in Mus's hand, Gao Bin put on the mask of pain.

"A hollow circle with a line that divides it into four equal parts... This is clearly the mark of a disciple. Why would the hermit use the mark of a disciple? Could he have joined the Apostles' Order as well?"

As for why the Hermit knew how to use the Apostles' mark...

Xia Qiyuan didn't seem to care much.

After all, there are many other methods.

"Seizing control of the imprint is not difficult. All you need to do is erase the mental link of the original owner within the imprint. Isn't that how all those masks in the bureau came about?"

"Easy for you to say, why don't you try erasing it yourself?"

Gao Bin rolled his eyes at Xia Qiyuan: "Our bureau chief gets exhausted after just a few masks, he wouldn't even dare to touch the engraving."

"The problem is that our bureau chief is not in the same league as them at all. He can't even do anything about their psychological suggestion."

Xia Qiyuan shrugged helplessly.

Gao Bin was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Not long ago you told me not to criticize the director, but now you're saying it yourself, aren't you?
This is a case of Xia Qiyuan's behavior, where officials are allowed to set fires while ordinary people are forbidden to even light lamps.

Gao Bin was used to it.

You can't beat them in a fight, and you can't win an argument with them, so what can you do but endure it?

"So what do we do now? Should we send this guy to the base's lab and lock him up? But he's working for the disciples now, wouldn't locking him up rashly alert them?"

Gao Bin squinted and carefully examined Mu Si's appearance.

It has to be said that Mus's fashion sense is quite good.

A casual, loose-fitting sports jacket, a T-shirt with basketball graffiti, and slim-fit trousers.

Although his face makes him look a bit older, at first glance he does appear to be an outgoing, sunny, and warm-hearted man.

Gao Bin stretched out his finger and scratched Mu Si's face hard with his fingernail.

Then, gazing at the foundation and cream creases under his fingernails, he fell into deep thought.

"I don't plan to arrest Mus right now."

Xia Qiyuan manipulated Mu Si to raise his left hand, his tone quite cheerful.

"Huh? Then what's the point of all this work?"

Gao Bin was immediately displeased upon hearing this: "Don't tell me you went through all this trouble to capture him just to catch him and then release him... Do you intend to lure the snake out of its hole?"

"Speaking of this Musi, what exactly is his identity? How come he's working for the disciples one minute and getting mixed up with the hermit the next? Does the Apostle have such a traitor among his men?"

Xia Qiyuan did not immediately answer Gao Bin's question.

Instead, he turned and walked towards the elevator: "Let's talk somewhere else."

After saying that, he remotely controlled the armor's autonomous system to make his own body keep up.

Gao Bin had no choice but to suppress his doubts and follow behind Xia Qiyuan.

The three returned to the car with normal expressions.

After Xia Qiyuan's main body got into the car, it automatically leaned back in the back seat and went into hibernation.

I, disguised as a Muslim, sat in the passenger seat.

Seeing this, Gao Bin reluctantly opened the driver's side door: "I said, what exactly are you planning to..."

'Stop talking nonsense, use your super-sensory abilities on me.'

Xia Qiyuan spoke through the armor's internal channel.

Gao Bin couldn't understand what his partner was trying to do.

But his long-standing experience told him that all he had to do was obey.

They'll explain later anyway, so why bother thinking about it now?

After Gao Bin settled in, he immediately entered the highest level of super-sensory mode without saying a word.

In this mode, ordinary chemical stimuli are no longer effective.

It can only be done with the help of armor.

But as soon as Gao Bin entered the super-sensory mode, he was stunned.

Xia Qiyuan nodded in satisfaction: "Hermit, you should be able to hear me now."

Looking at Gao Bin, who was staring blankly into space, Xia Qiyuan finally realized that the Hermit was behind Mu Si.

“We’re all smart people. Now that I’ve spoken, I’m confident that you’re observing my and Gao Bin’s every move.”

Continuing to remain silent is just wasting everyone's time.

Although Xia Qiyuan has been using He Jun's body all these years.

But in essence, he is still Xia Qiyuan.

Xia Qiyuan learned about the strange existence after joining the Countermeasures Bureau.

I have suspected more than once that hermits also possess similar abilities.

Otherwise, there's absolutely no way to explain his seemingly miraculous sources of information.

This suspicion completely turned into certainty when Ai Liang treated the criminals like a puzzle game.

Xia Qiyuan is undergoing rehabilitation training in the Countermeasures Bureau laboratory.

After seeing the briefing sent over, I concluded that the hermit must also be related to the supernatural.

However, at that time he had not fully adapted to He Jun's body and could not leave the laboratory.

The laboratory, however, also had its own concerns and could only watch helplessly as the hermit disappeared without a trace.

Several months ago, he learned about the circumstances surrounding Gao Bin's vivisection in Nevada.

Immediately direct suspicion towards the hermit.

As for why Gao Bin's live dissection was linked to the hermit...

The group of masked figures spread the word on the streets in an attempt to force the hermit to reveal himself.

Gao Bin was just unlucky and ran into trouble.

Look at the methods used back then, aren't they exactly the same as those used in current throat-slitting cases?
His name is Xia Qiyuan, not Xia Qinian. It would be strange if you couldn't connect the two.

Xia Qiyuan was certain that the hermit was behind Mu Si.

Ai Liang didn't intend to hide it any longer: "I have no interest in the Apostles Society or the Countermeasures Bureau, and I don't want to get involved in your grudges."

After erasing Mu Si's memories, Ai Liang did not leave immediately.

Instead, it left a sliver of consciousness deep within the imprint, quietly observing the interaction between the two.

He wanted to take this opportunity to find out how the Countermeasures Bureau planned to deal with Janus.

I just didn't expect that the psychological suggestion I gave Gao Bin back then seemed to have gone a bit too far.

Even a single thought can trigger the avoidance mechanism.

"Oh, you've finally come out. But... now that I've confirmed your identity, could you first untangle the clues in this guy's head?"

Xia Qiyuan was not in a hurry and instead inquired about information from Ai Liang.

Instead, he pointed to Gao Bin beside him, who was in a daze.

"Hmm... I doubt remote solutions can solve this either. How about we meet in person?"

Xia Qiyuan pressed his advantage, taking an inch and then a mile.

"...I refuse. I have no reason to believe you."
