Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 522 Disguised Personality
Battier found Ai Liang's explanation unbelievable.

For those with mental abilities, reading other people's thoughts is almost an instinct.

Once you've experienced the convenience of mind reading, no one can resist abusing this ability.

When ordinary people are doing things, they need to spend a long time exploring and asking around for information. Even if the answer is right in front of them, they still have to go through a lot of trouble.

Those with mental abilities can obtain the results directly.

Give the simplest example.

If you're on a losing streak in a game and the official game gives you a legitimate cheat that gives you ten times the experience and gold to boost your rank, would you never use it?
No one wants to give up the shortcut.

To say nothing of the distant past, Chuck's colleague in the Heart of the Sea Society usually even speaks using telepathy.

Even though he knew that using strange powers was a step towards death, he still incorporated mind reading into his daily life.

If it weren't for the fact that fusion warriors can ignore low-level corruption, a psychic would probably have gone insane long ago from abusing their abilities like this.

"When did you start to doubt me?" Battier asked.

"I never believed you from the beginning."

With a flick of his wrist, Ai Liang easily broke through the protective layer that Battier had just left on Peng Yuan, and then pulled him between the two of them.

This put Battier in a very difficult position.

This also gave Battier the impression that although Ai Liang's abilities were troublesome, his overall strength was not strong, and that he had to keep using Peng Yuan as a hostage to increase his trump cards.

"I don't recall ever exhibiting any behavior that revealed my hidden personality. Can you explain that?"

Battier raised his hands, feigning no malice, and the black markings on his body dimmed.

But he is not as harmless as he appears on the surface.

The markings on Battier's body dimmed because he was gathering all his strength, compressing and concentrating the strange power to increase his explosive power, preparing to catch Ai Liang off guard.

Ai Liang saw this clearly, but he didn't expose Battier's little scheme.

Battier's statement contained too many loopholes and was contradictory in many places.

For example, the contact information provided earlier.

No sooner had he said that Haixin Association forbids private contact and that everything must go through headquarters than he had said, than he had produced the contact information of colleagues in several surrounding cities.

If this was to ensure Peng Yuan's safety and facilitate a quick request for support...

So you can make a phone call faster than you can instantly contact everyone with a curse?

Besides, if Peng Yuan gets into trouble, Hai Xin Society will definitely use its undercover agents that Batier doesn't know about, and the number of people they call will definitely be more than just the few on the note.

No matter how you look at it, this reason is untenable.

As for personal relationships, that's utter nonsense.

During your mission, do you also plan to use two unrelated identities to drink together in different cities?
These aren't the only suspicious points.

The importance of fusion warriors is self-evident.

As their training mentors or instructors, one's stance is more important than anything else.

Hai Xin Hui would never allow someone utterly devoid of loyalty to train Peng Yuan.

If your stance is incorrect, no matter how capable you are, you'll be sidelined.

Just like in the workplace, if you don't stand with the boss, what's the point of the boss promoting you? If you end up riding on the boss's head and doing official business, you'll only make the boss uncomfortable.

Some people always believe that only by flattering others can they get promoted, and they look down on this idea.

In reality, he never saw through the surface to the essence; he was a complete traitor.

For the Sea Heart Society, an instructor for fusion warriors can lack talent or be mentally unstable, but must be loyal.

Otherwise, if you bring out a bunch of ungrateful fusion warriors, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

This is the second suspicious point revealed by Chuck's personality: he betrayed Hai Xin Hui too quickly and too thoroughly.

If Chuck Battier is truly loyal and honest, Ai Liang has reason to suspect that Chuck is a tool for convenient purposes.

Disguising one's personality is very common; Cheng Lejia is a good example, to name just a few.

What remains are the living habits that Ai Liang observed from Peng Yuan's memories.

As the primary personality, Battier could not allow Chuck, the secondary personality, to maintain control of the body indefinitely.

Two different personalities, even if they live in the same body, will exhibit completely different behavioral patterns in terms of lifestyle.

This is easy to see.

It can only be said that when Xia Qiyuan encountered the Man of a Thousand Faces, he was fortunate that he wasn't forced to wear a mask.

Otherwise, even if the masked figures are limited by their physical condition and can only possess a portion of their observation and analytical abilities, the Countermeasures Bureau would be unable to function.

"It seems you don't like to talk much."

Battier's internal energy was fully compressed, ready to erupt and injure people at any moment.

Just as he was waiting for the right moment, looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow, Ai Liang spoke up.

“I promised Chuck that as long as he cooperated with me honestly, I would let him live.”

Ai Liang suddenly mentioned Chuck in her conversation, which puzzled Battier: "So?"

Ai Liang continued, "If I kill you now, Chuck will die too, so I won't just eliminate you directly."

"As long as you obediently let me erase your recent memories, I can let you go."

"Are you sure?" Battier seemed somewhat tempted.

Ai Liang raised a finger: "I can give you one minute to think about it..."

Rumble!
The strange patterns all over Battier's body suddenly expanded and spread, emitting a muffled sound like thunder.

The patterns that were originally eerily beautiful are now a mess, like a thigh that has been run over by a steamroller.

He was like a black lightning bolt, instantly appearing in front of Ai Liang, his hands trailing black smoke as he aimed straight at Ai Liang's face.

"It seems you're not going to accept my offer."

Boom!
"Well!"

Battier's body was suddenly frozen in place by a tremendous force, and the resulting reaction force rebounded back onto him, causing him to let out a muffled groan.

Ai Liang, who was originally making a gesture with his index finger, changed position and pressed it against Battier's forehead.

“I won’t kill you, because you will still serve as a bridge between me and Haixin Society, but I will not let go of someone who tried to take my life.”

Ai Liang used her mental abilities to protect Chuck's part of his personality, and then began to violently dismantle the curse.

This action was not to obtain information about the Sea Heart Society, but rather Ai Liang wanted to destroy Battier and the curse together.

"His body has incorporated some of the strange elements, but it hasn't reached the level of a fusion warrior..."

As Ai Liang carefully removed the curse and Battier's personality piece by piece, she also checked his physical condition.

Having finally acquired a body with a strange adaptive constitution, Ai Liang was not going to let it go easily.

This is much stronger than an ordinary person's body. Wouldn't it be better to make it into a mental puppet?

As for what I promised Chuck.

Anyway, as a tool-like personality, it doesn't matter where he is, and I believe he wouldn't mind having control of his body in someone else's hands.
