Brian pinched his little hand, and the Obsession Little Ball immediately transformed into a rainbow light, shooting into his eyes.
A message appeared in his mind.
Sudan’s obsession: What is soft-heartedness?
Seeing this obsession, Brian was stunned.
Wasn’t this a question?
It was the first time he had encountered a question-like obsession.
Geniuses are often paranoid.
It seemed that this Sudan had suffered from being soft-hearted, turning it into an obsession.
Brian continued reading.
Gift One: 95 Gift Energy Units.
Gift Two: 50 Gift Energy Units + Observation.
Gift Three: 1 Gift Energy Unit + Self-Deception.
Judging from Gift One, Sudan’s potential was indeed high, his Spiritual Strength was not low, nearly reaching the level of Brian’s great uncle.
Brian then focused his attention on the talents of the next two gifts.
Observation: Your Observation ability is naturally strong, allowing you to notice details that others easily overlook, your mind is sharp, and you can easily see through the real emotions of the people around you.
"You even deceive yourself; when you deceive your body, your body will choose to believe you unconditionally.
Bro, if I say you can do it, you can do it, perk up!
When you are paranoid enough, your persuasive power increases.
Your emotions will influence the people around you."
Brian quickly passed over the talent of Observation.
This talent wasn’t as good as his Supercomputer Perception.
Although Supercomputer Perception initially didn’t have as much potential as Observation, at least in terms of Gift Energy Units.
However, as his other hardware continued to upgrade, this talent that had been with him from the beginning played a bigger and bigger role.
Thus, a versatile talent was actually more helpful to Brian.
As for ’Self-Deception’...
Brian:"...what does ’bro, if I say you can do it, you can do it’ mean... you’re quite sassy."
This thing, in reality, was just his own Blood Moon Gift Talent transforming the obsession gift into something Brian could understand.
That is to say, the style of the note was influenced by Brian’s personality.
Of course, he considered himself a decent person and wouldn’t acknowledge this.
After checking the gifts.
Brian stroked his chin.
The talent of Self-Deception was, in fact, easy to understand.
For example, when Sudan made a move, his body suddenly burst into that kind of explosive speed, and his knife-wielding hand was also very stable.
But in conversation, Brian felt he was just an ordinary person.
That kind of change was likely due to Sudan’s Blood Moon Mutation talent ’Self-Deception.’
Key to the note, Self-Deception could not only deceive one’s own body, but when confident enough, it could also influence the people around.
This talent was probably cooler than it seemed on paper.
As for Mind Reading...
Sudan didn’t have it.
Mind Reading... This would be considered a psychic skill.
Considering Sudan said he was a Ph.D. in psychology, so this should be his own inherent talents and knowledge at play.
Many practical psychology applications, such as micro-expression observation, the art of speaking, etc., actually all revolve around Observation.
When communicating with others, he could also easily capture subtle facial expression changes, thereby determining whether the other party was lying or not.
However, this skill only worked on the unguarded.
For those who were mentally prepared, you could only feel that they were very wary, but couldn’t get much information, plus seasoned liars with good acting skills, it’s hard to discern through simple conversation whether they were telling the truth.
Unfortunately, Sudan didn’t have it.
Brian was slightly disappointed.
Sure enough, he didn’t.
Earlier, when Sudan had countered him by asking if he was wearing a fake face, Brian realized that Sudan must have used micro-expression analysis to control someone’s psyche, then through his persuasive speech, toy with others.
It turned out exactly so.
"Let’s forget it, whether it’s Gift One or Gift Three, they both look good; it’s just this obsession, how should I answer it?"
Brian habitually thought to stroke his chin but ended up picking up Sudan’s head, which stared back deathlessly.
He discarded the head with some disgust, walked over to a black man lying unconscious, ready to strip off his clothes to wrap around Sudan’s head.
But before he even bent down, he smelled a strong body odor.
This scent was too pungent.
Brian sighed, took out his phone, and called Green.
Green was still working overtime.
The victims were numerous, and their parents were too, and being somewhat socially established, it was inevitable to offend some, so the mess of information provided was also abundant.
Plus, the information provided by schools and camps.
This screening process was highly brain-draining.
Green was just feeling the headache when he received a call from Boss Brian, who informed him that the perpetrator had been dealt with.
"Boss Brian’s efficiency is really fast..."
Green happily threw the documents in his hands onto the conference table, grabbed his coat, hurried to the parking lot, and drove the investigation van to the location Brian had provided.
Following the right person truly brings joy!
Brian wasn’t idle either.
He tried to mimic Dean’s posture, attempting to light a cigarette with his fingers.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work.
He had rubbed his own skin raw and still hadn’t seen a spark.
"This swaggering bit, I still need to practice..."
Brian sighed and pulled out a lighter.
A puff of smoke billowed out.
