Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 354 Mind Control
After testing the body data.

Ai Liang turned her gaze to the three illegal immigrants below.

Tests of mental abilities require biological cooperation.

If you want to test all abilities, you definitely can't rely on small animals alone.

He needs highly intelligent primates, that is, humans.

However, Ai Liang did not intend to directly control their brains right away.

After all, the number of test subjects is limited, unlike Nevada City ten years ago, where there were plenty of lab rats and you could practice however you wanted.

And what if those two stowaways who are walking across the plank have gotten carried away?

We have to wait until they recover, or use telekinesis to force the poison out, before we can use it for experiments.

If it were lysergic acid diethylamide, at least you could use it to read minds and see what they're fantasizing about.

But after drinking fruit, my mind goes completely blank, I'm totally dazed, and I can't say a word.

What's the point of reading his mind? There's absolutely no point in trying.

Fortunately, the snakehead didn't join them in sucking with the tube, so they could use him as a test subject first.

Ai Liang tried to concentrate, trying to sense the memories and thoughts of the snake head below.

This brain invasion was extremely difficult.

Even with Ai Liang concentrating, she couldn't read the other person's memories immediately.

Compared to the efficiency of knowing what someone has done over the past few decades with just a thought, this is far less efficient.

Perhaps this is related to the bleak disappearance.

Aside from the time when she first awakened her abilities, Ai Liang rarely used mental abilities.

When the massacre took place in Nevada, Ai Liang was constantly plagued by negative emotions, which made him extremely resistant to mental abilities.

It was always Anliang who replaced Ailiang, using his mental abilities to invade the minds of those scumbags.

This resulted in Ai Liang having experience and memory, but being very unfamiliar with its actual application.

As for why Ai Liang always hated using mental abilities, she still wanted to find people to conduct experiments on.

He can dislike mental abilities, or he can choose not to use them at all.

But you must have it, and be able to use it proficiently.

Whether you need it or not is one thing, but whether you have it or not is another matter entirely.

In the past, Ai Liang was unaware of the existence of the Apostle Society, the Countermeasures Bureau, and the Strange Things, and believed that she was the only one who was special.

When facing a group of ordinary people, he can naturally choose to use his abilities selectively.

However, even knowing that a spiritual apostle like the Thousand-Faced Man exists.

Furthermore, based on their own preferences, they deliberately avoid mental abilities, and even when their proficiency is reduced to zero, they don't practice them.

This is no different from actively destroying nuclear weapons and related materials, attempting to influence other countries with love.

It's not just mindless, it's downright idiotic behavior.

Putting aside everything else, let's take the cooperation with the Countermeasures Bureau as an example.

If Ai Liang's mental abilities weren't strong enough, would Xia Qiyuan sit down and have a proper talk with him?
Only when you have a big enough fist will others be willing to sit down and reason with you.

The perspective shifts back to the mountain.

From a more materialistic perspective, mind manipulation is the use of mental power to interfere with the chemical reactions in another person's body.

The human body produces countless chemical reactions every moment.

Controlling the release of acetylcholine in the brain can excite people and accelerate blood flow;
The secretion of catecholamines can cause low mood and lethargy.
The release of dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins can bring people to the peak of ecstasy...

This is the simplest, most basic application of mental power.

Ai Liang doesn't even need mental power; she can do this directly using only telekinesis.

Therefore, most people with mental abilities cannot be brought to the forefront in the early stages.

However, when one's mental abilities reach a higher level, they can manifest as tangible interference in reality and even in the soul. This is rather idealistic, as no one has yet been able to figure out exactly what the soul is.

With gloom and death, Ai Liang must start practicing mental abilities from scratch.

Fortunately, he has the memories and operational experience left behind by Anliang.

With more practice, you can regain your proficiency.

Mind reading is the easiest skill to master.

After all, people are constantly emitting brainwaves, and by capturing and analyzing them, it is easy to know what the other person is thinking.

Of course, this applies to the average person.

Like the masks of the Apostles, or the armored users of the Countermeasures Bureau.

This kind of mind-reading based on brainwaves is not very useful.

To prevent excessive mental energy output, the snake's head was directly mashed into a paste.

Ai Liang carefully controlled her mental power and cautiously invaded the snake's brain.

It took him a full three minutes to successfully hack into an ordinary person.

After taking control of the snake's head and brain, Ai Liang quickly moved on to the next stage.

"Memory reading works fine, let's try mind manipulation..."

Ai Liang put all the decades of memories she had read into her memory bank, and then used her mental power to try to control the other party's consciousness.

Previously, when controlling Mus, there was an imprint on this medium channel responsible for signal transmission.

To give an example, controlling Mus through the engraving is like having a device to assist you when playing a game; pressing the W key will make the character move forward.

Now, controlling the snake's head involves taking your hands off the keyboard and using only your mind to control the computer to issue electronic commands to complete the forward movement.

The difference in control difficulty between these two is significant.

The snakehead, who was keeping watch against a tree trunk in the forest, suddenly had unfocused eyes and a blank expression.

Meanwhile, the two people next to them were busy having fun and had no time to pay attention to the snakehead's changing expressions.
Ai Liang looked at the snake head and nodded: "It was a bit awkward to control, but... it was a success for now."

Although his mental ability proficiency was reset to zero and he needed to start from scratch, he still had a wealth of practical experience as a foundation.

I believe that if I practice with a few more people, I can get back to my previous level in a few months.

Ai Liang manipulated the snake's head and walked up to the two stowaways.

Without saying a word, he kicked the makeshift curling stone made from a mineral water bottle away.

The two men instantly turned their heads, glaring fiercely at the snakehead: "Damn it! What do you mean?!"

It seems they've just started having fun and haven't tasted much success yet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so clear-headed.

This was exactly what Ai Liang wanted.

Ai Liang, controlling the snake head, didn't waste any words with them and kicked one of them again.

This completely enraged the two illegal immigrants.

"You son of a bitch! Don't think I won't dare to touch you!"

The smuggler, who had been kicked to the ground, pulled out a knife and was about to fight the smuggler to the death.

The snake head controlled by Ai Liang was not very flexible, and she was accidentally slashed by the stowaway.

The cut on the arm wasn't too serious, but it served as a strong warning.

Although the illegal immigrant was furious, he still retained basic rationality.

If someone were stabbed to death over such a trivial matter, who would take them away?

Moreover, the powerful figures behind the smugglers won't let them off the hook.

My brother was killed, so I definitely want revenge. I don't care who started it.
