Let them offer their loyalty

After all, Nora's current understanding of the nature of her own abilities may not be as good as the man in front of her.

"I think Miss Nora is very clear about my purpose... After all, you are still conscious now. If I wanted to do something to you, the last time might have been a farewell forever."

Jonas' words made Nora pause for a moment, and then the girl took a deep breath and asked:

"Do you think that what you did in front of me will make me choose to trust you?"

Although she had already guessed that there might be something fishy about this matter, Jonas's behavior still exceeded Nora's expectations. Where are those psychics who were summoned now? Nora didn't know, but it was obvious that they would not have a good ending.

Working for such a consortium heir who barely conceals his malicious intent is tantamount to courting disaster.

If the man in front of him had not been interested in his abilities, he might have become what he called a "research subject."

Or in other words...my current situation is that I am being played around by the man in front of me?

Thinking of this, Nora couldn't help but clench her fists, and the hope in her heart gradually faded.

She didn't expect that just a moment of negligence would put her in such a bad situation.

"It's up to you whether you choose to believe it, Miss Nora."

The moment Jonas said her name, Nora's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

——He knows my true identity.

However, Jonas ignored Miss Nora's shock and continued speaking after a brief pause:

"As I said before, this power is not a gift...it's an awakening."

"But not everyone can make good use of this power...the negative impact it brings is equally fatal."

After hearing Jonas' words, Nora finally recovered from the shock of the other party recognizing her true identity.

Looking at the man in front of her, Nora grabbed the bed sheet. The other party did not imprison her with shackles, but even if he did, this restriction would be useless in the face of her abilities.

But perhaps because he was fearless, the other party did not seem to worry that she would run away, and the attitude he showed was like negotiating with a person of equal status...

Nora naturally knew that this was just an illusion. This kind of fearlessness was a manifestation of arrogance, and the so-called equality was just a means for the other party to try to appease her emotions.

If I show any unusual movement, I might fall into coma again the next moment.

And when you wake up, your situation may not be as free as it is now.

After realizing this, Nora was silent for a moment, and then followed the other party's words and asked:

"Then how can you guarantee that I can truly master this power?"

"This power... to be precise, it's psychic energy..."

Jonas paused, organized his words, and then spoke;

"It not only causes physical changes, but it also amplifies psychological defects."

"If a person has some kind of mental illness, this force will amplify this desire, making him or her extreme, crazy, and irritable."

"And the higher the level of spiritual awakening, the closer he is to madness."

Jonas selectively omitted some of the content, and Nora frowned as he expected, with a look of doubt in her eyes.

After all, all this was just empty talk from the other party. She did not feel that he was so-called crazy or had psychological defects. This one-sided statement could easily make people think that the other party was just exaggerating.

But the next second, Nora seemed to feel something and her body moved involuntarily.

In Jonas's hand, a blue gem badge reflected beautiful light under the light, and Nora's body seemed to be out of control, and she was attracted by the luster of the gem almost instantly.

"looks good?"

After the girl was attracted by the gem, her eyes never left it.

The light of the gem seemed to have some kind of bewitching magic, making Nora's mind a little unclear.

The desire in her heart became stronger and stronger, and the possessiveness and greed almost occupied her entire mind.

Nora even unconsciously stretched out her hand and touched the gem.

But after being dodged by Jonas, a glimmer of clarity flashed in Nora's eyes, but was soon filled with all kinds of desires.

The next moment, the girl merged into the shadows and then appeared in front of Jonas.

She even wanted to use her ability to take it by force.

However, the girl naturally did not succeed, but was punished for her series of actions.

She was pressed down on the bed by a force, and a feeling of suffocation came from her neck.

The girl's legs kicked unconsciously and her face gradually turned red. When she was about to fall into a coma, her eyes regained clarity.

She was breathing heavily, and her eyes were full of fear and confusion when she looked at Jonas.

After a long while, Nora recovered and asked:

"What was that just now?"

There was some fear and dread in her tone. It was obvious that the feeling of being out of control of her body made her feel fear of the unknown.

However, Jonas's answer was beyond her expectations.

"It's just an ordinary gem."

"impossible!"

Nora subconsciously wanted to refute, but then she seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Ms. Nora has not been doing Nightingale's work since her ability awakened, right?"

Jonas' words sent a chill down Nora's spine.

Just as the other party said, after her ability awakened, she has been collecting information in this area and has never stolen gems containing trace elements.

And combined with what the other party said...

"Is this my magnified psychological flaw...?"

Nora's words were a little hoarse, as if she was unable to accept this fact.

Just now, my body completely lost control and I felt like a zombie. This is only the initial stage.

If we say that as one's abilities improve, this defect will gradually become larger.

By then, will she be Nora, or just a body completely dominated by desire?

"So, do you understand what I mean now, Miss Nora?"

Jonas' words were calm, but they made Nora feel as cold as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

That was the fear of being completely dominated by someone.

.................................

Chapter 157: I have nowhere to escape...

Jonas's words were not difficult to understand. It was not a threat, but it was more deterrent than a threat.

After all, apart from Jonas, she couldn't find anyone else who could solve her mental illness.

At least in the short term, she will be greatly troubled by this... This is when her psychological defects have not yet developed to the maximum. Unless she stays indoors, she may fall into a dangerous situation at any time.

In the situation just now, she couldn't even control her body, let alone stay conscious.

If other people knew about this weakness of mine, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Nora looked at the man in front of her, and she already had the idea of ​​compromise in her heart.

"What do you want from me?"

Just as the other party said, if he really wanted to do something to me, then my end would not be good.

She also roughly guessed part of the other party's purpose of keeping her here.

Jonas was not the first person who tried to recruit her. In the past, many financial groups had extended olive branches to her with the identity of "Nightingale".

But without exception, all of them were ignored by Nora...Her ability to lurk and gather intelligence was definitely at the ceiling level in District 25, so it was natural for her to be recruited.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Jonas came here for her ability.

Her already ridiculously strong lurking ability, coupled with the ability to blend into the shadows, means that Miss Nora can sneak into almost any place in District 25 if she wants to.

The value behind it cannot be summarized by just a few pieces of information.

Sure enough, after hearing Nora's words, Jonas said softly:

"I hope you can join Alte Corporation..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a contract appeared in front of Nora.

"This is a recruitment contract, and it is also the greatest sincerity I can show at the moment."

Hearing this, Nora's eyes couldn't help but look at the contract, but after just one glance, the girl froze in place.

It took him a long while to react, and he spoke hesitantly with some uncertainty:

"Alte Corporation.. Special Intelligence Division..?"

The contract clearly stated the recruitment of Nora Rockefeller as department head.

——Is he crazy..?

Although it is unclear what the specific duties of this department are, one must know that any department head has considerable power...Once one wants to do something, the entire Alte Company may be affected.

As Jonas said, this sincerity was enough to dispel her concerns...

But she didn't know why the other party dared to give her such a level of trust.

Suddenly, Nora seemed to have thought of something and was startled.

Since the other party dared to do this, he must have something to threaten her, and the only factor that could control her was...

"Like I said at the beginning, this is not coercion, this is cooperation."

"The premise of cooperation is win-win, isn't it?"

Listening to Jonas's slow and unhurried narration, Nora's feeling of being completely controlled became stronger and stronger. Sweat beads appeared on her palms and her mouth became a little dry.

She now finally understood why the other party would confidently hand over such power to her.

From the moment Jonas said this, her interests were tied to the ship called the Alte Group.

From the very beginning, she had no power to choose.

Nora took a deep breath and spoke calmly, but her voice was still trembling:

"I don't think I have any reason to refuse."

"Then sign it."

The calm voice sounded like the devil's verdict to Nora's ears.

Nora seemed to hear that mysterious voice.

——She has nowhere to escape.

...................................

Naturally, the conversation with Miss Nora was always under Jonas' control from beginning to end.

The so-called special intelligence department was indeed Jonas's original idea. After the new version was launched, the acquisition of information became more important. If there was no sufficiently powerful intelligence acquisition agency, it would have an impact on a series of subsequent developments.

The decision to let Miss Nora be the head of the department was naturally based on two considerations. First, it was to distinguish it from the existing intelligence department. Second, there was only Miss Nora in this department for the time being, and before confirming her loyalty, there was no need to worry that the other party would suddenly turn against them and cause further losses.

Although the latter is a low-probability event, it is always better to take precautions against it.

After leaving the hospital, Jonas drove to the Alte company building.

Miss Nora is just the appetizer, the real main course is yet to come.

Of course, the preparation of the main course requires a lot of preparation steps, and it is obviously not enough to serve the dish just like that.

So what needs to be done before that is to use a catalyst to quickly transition it to the semi-mature stage.

So, how did Jonas do it?

First, let’s decide on the object of the main course, Ms. Eucas.

Then, there is the object of the catalyst...
