Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 699 Beware of Evil Spirits
Hogg vigilantly observed the movements of the people around him. No one noticed anything abnormal here. Everyone regarded the "evil spirit" as air. Some familiar people sensed his sight and greeted him with wine glasses. .

He didn't know the purpose of the "evil spirit" coming over, but this was undoubtedly the worst time.

What's worse is that because of his criminal record, even if he warns them of the existence of "evil spirits", he will probably only be treated as a mental illness.

But Hogg thought about it again, the appearance of the "evil spirit" here is not entirely a bad thing.

If he unfortunately exposes his identity, he may be able to use the other party to exchange some life. However, when he came up with this idea, he even suspected that he was really suffering from a mental illness, and he pinned his hopes on a theory that does not exist. People, especially in those nightmares, "evil spirits" act as killers.

If counting the dream, in just a few days, he had been killed by the other party more than a dozen times.

Jock was right, when this thing was over, he really had to get a psychiatrist.

Hogg quickly adjusted his mood and greeted the acquaintances walking towards him with smiles. Such occasions have almost become a part of his life. The fake smiles at the banquet and mutual flattery are all their instincts. , that is, the so-called decent people.

Only by hiding your true colors can you be decent.

So are they.

Everyone avoided topics such as "enthusiastic citizens" and "mental state" that might irritate Hogg, but warmly welcomed him to join.

Without the obstruction of the chairman of the council, the issues discussed in this banquet hall will soon be implemented into policies affecting the entire coalition government. Although they are deeply saddened by the departure of the secretary-general, they believe that the will of the secretary-general will be with them Together, and everything they do is to move this country and themselves towards a better future.

Hogg was a little absent-minded, which made him miss many political topics that he would normally be interested in.

This time the "evil spirit" existed for an unimaginable time. Although he kept telling himself not to pay attention to the other party, his eyes still inevitably stayed on the other party.

Rather than being surrounded by politicians, he now hopes to find a quiet place to question the purpose of the "evil spirit" following him here.

And this also confirms the evaluation made by the family psychologist more than a month ago.

The patient sometimes regards fantasies as reality, which is a dangerous signal and proves that his condition has deteriorated again. If left unchecked, eventually the patient will no longer be able to distinguish the difference between fantasy and reality. To die of things of imagination.

The family doctor hopes that Hogg will tell him about it as soon as he realizes that his condition is getting worse, so that he can take rescue measures in time.

But Hogg didn't believe them at all. He suspected that the family's psychiatrist had already discussed with the younger generation. Once he received treatment, the other party would have enough reasons to ask him to "temporarily" let the patriarch Position, once the position is given up, after he recovers, it will not be so easy to get back.

"Hogg, Mr. Hogg, are you all right?"

His thoughts were interrupted by the call, and he realized that everyone's attention was on him.

However, they have long been accustomed to this. Recently, Hogg has been acting like a god in the council, and it will not surprise anyone if he does anything. But since he can pass Trian's assessment, there is nothing wrong with him. I'm so worried.

"What do you think of the topic just now?"

This is why they think the fishing boat club is superior to the council.

Here, people can be liberated from factional disputes, no longer need to be coerced by others, but think about the pros and cons of each issue from their own perspective, and finally they will consider everyone's opinions, Make a decision that pleases everyone as much as possible.

This should be the proper atmosphere of the Council, but because of the intensified factional struggles, it has become a battlefield. Members can no longer sit together calmly and seriously discuss a certain issue from a practical point of view.

Even MPs from different factions will not be suspicious of each other, because they all know that temporary gains and losses are meaningless to the fate of the coalition government.

Therefore, even if Hogg is a new member who just joined today, they still have to take Hogg's opinion into consideration. He also represents the attitude of the Foster family.

"I totally agree with you guys and I'm glad we've reached a consensus."

Hogg didn't pay attention to what they were discussing just now, he could only squeeze out a smile, raised his glass and said to the people around him.

"That's great."

This is the first time that Hogg got bored with the high society banquet. Fortunately, the well-prepared Joker stepped onto the stage and raised the most important issue that the high-level council is facing now——for the six-star rescuers disposal problem.

The last thing the chairman of the council did before his death was to use his authority to call all the six-star rescuers back to the first district.

With his death in the attack, all the contents of the original meeting were cancelled. They will not bring the issue of foreigners to the table for discussion. A little ahead of time, it is a little difficult for people to accept.

But everyone knows that controlling all six-star rescuers is equivalent to controlling the entire world.

For the coalition government, the thirteen neutral countries, and the rebels, the six-star rescuers are like nuclear weapons deterring them, so that they only dare to occupy the "outside". Even the most radical rebels dare not lead the flames of war to within the coalition government.

How to smoothly transfer the power that originally belonged to the chairman of the council to the high-level council is the issue they need to consider most now.

Moreover, this incident is of great significance to the upcoming ceremony of becoming a god.

Only by turning those six-star saviors into believers of "gods" can they help him complete the final steps, and now ordinary people can no longer be used as sacrifices to help him go any further.

"We have basically persuaded the three of them, but the Ragus Foundation rejected the invitation, and the company cluster still has more than half of the six-star rescuers in its hands, especially after the turmoil of the Iris Consortium, Jasmine and Rose also left Our control."

This is distressing news.

Because originally in their plan, Jasmine and Rose, who were implanted with conceptual weapons in their bodies, were the best targets. Whether they wanted to or not, the implants would help them make choices. Rob Lucci, who appeared out of nowhere, sabotaged their plans.

He seems to have a very close relationship with the chairman of the council, making it hard for them to figure out whether this is the result of the secret instruction of the chairman of the council.

At the same time, the information provided by Claire made things even more confusing.

According to her, it was the chairman of the Senate who used his authority to pass the bill of the highest operational department of MI[-] without telling everyone.

But there was one thing they agreed on.

Rob Lucci and Mo Lian are a big problem, and they have to find a way to get rid of them.

Most people were satisfied with Hogg's approach—at least, he temporarily dismissed the two of them and sent them to the Sixth District, which was far away from the center of power.

The battle against counterintelligence and SI:[-] is in full swing, and at the same time they have to deal with the meeting of the six-star rescuers. In this case, they have no spare energy to deal with Rob Lucci. , Judging from his actions in the second district, if this matter is not handled properly, most of the cities in the first district may suffer.

"To help us achieve these ambitious goals, we brought in a real expert who was able to take a lot of my troubles out of my hands, which might change the companies and the six-star rescuers themselves who refused to cooperate."

Joke's speech allowed Hogg to gradually clear his mind and understand the focus of the fishing boat club's next work.

But he was also worried about this crazy plan. He always felt that the other party did not pay enough attention when talking about the six-star rescuers. What they are facing now is a group of high-risk groups comparable to tactical nuclear bombs. The first The district obviously should not be the main battleground of the plan.

However, as a new member, especially a new member with ulterior motives, he feels that he should not put forward too many opinions. All he has to do is to pass on the plan of the high-level council to MI[-]. Stealing people can only depend on Rob Lucci's own ability.

Members of Parliament had a lively discussion on this issue, but Hogg took a lenient attitude, no matter what the final result was, he agreed.

He had collected enough secrets in the conference room, and the next thing he needed to consider was how to get these secrets out.

There are also "enthusiastic citizens".

Whenever Hogg saw that erratic figure, he couldn't help wondering if it was an illusion.

He had never taken anti-fatigue drugs in such excess that it would have unknown effects on his physical health.

"You shouldn't have taken so much medicine."

During the heated discussion, Hogg heard an incompatible voice.

When he took out the anti-fatigue medicine for the fourth time and took them as a hangover medicine, the "enthusiastic citizen" seemed to be unable to stand it anymore and reminded him.

This is also the first time that Hogg really heard the voice of hallucinations.

And he almost responded to the other party.

If he really did that, he would become a lunatic in the eyes of everyone just like he did in the Council.

Hogg refused to listen to the advice from the "evil spirit". He pretended not to hear, unscrewed the cap of the bottle with trembling hands, trying to take out the few remaining pills inside.

Then, all the sounds stopped at this moment.

He noticed the strange behavior of the people around him—many of them still opened their mouths, maintaining their original movements, as if the world had been frozen at this second.

In this silent banquet hall, he became the only one who could feel the passage of time.

He really saw clearly the behavior of the "evil spirit".

The other party reached out, snatched the bottle containing the anti-fatigue medicine in his hand, and confiscated it into the "evil spirit"'s own pocket.

This process lasted about two seconds.

Two seconds later, the noisy voice in the banquet hall returned.

No one realized what happened just now, nor did they notice Hogg who remained silent.

Only he himself witnessed what just happened.

The medicine bottle he was holding had indeed disappeared. Hogg searched every pocket on his body but could not find any trace of it.

　Little Theater IX of its 120:

　　On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, Friday, evening.

　　Lu Xiang recently discovered that Song Lan has become interested in games, but his way of experiencing games is a bit unique. Others would sit in front of the computer or play with a VR device, while Song Lan would watch them on the sofa after returning home from work. Others play.

　　At first, she thought that Song Lan was watching the game under the guise of what was said on the Internet, and her real purpose was to peek at the female anchor, but after she got home and carefully observed the live broadcast content, she found that the anchor was a man who spoke a little funny.

　　Driven by curiosity, Lu Xiang accompanied Song Lan to watch it for a while, but she was sleepy without any interest. She yawned several times and asked, "I heard people say, let's see if this is right. To spend money?"

　　"Spend money?"

　　"Someone in our previous department tracked down a bank theft and found out that the hackers spent all the stolen money watching live broadcasts."

　　Lu Xiang doesn't know much about live broadcasts, but various hearings show that watching live broadcasts is a very expensive act.

　　"It's impossible to spend money, I'll just see."

　　"Then why don't you play by yourself? You also rejected me when I wanted to buy a family VR package."

　　At that time, Lu Xiang took a fancy to several games that were said to be very suitable for couples to play, but this dumb bird didn't cooperate at all.

　　"I'm getting old and can't play anymore. I think cloud players are pretty good."

　　"Cloud player?"

　　"I watch it when others are playing."

　　Lu Xiang was thoughtful, she had never dealt with games before, "You like to watch other people play."

　　"That's understandable."

　　"Then I'll play, do you want to watch?"

　　Lu Xiang asked, "Instead of watching them, you might as well come and play with me."
