Chapter 029 Research on Superpowers
In the office, Zhang Tianxiao got a copy of the surveillance video. Su Ming's ability was very strange, so he planned to study it.
But he did not intend to watch the videotape directly, because Su Ming had said before that observing him using his superpowers through surveillance would still be affected by his superpowers.
Assuming this is true, if he starts watching the surveillance video right now, he will soon be unable to detect any abnormalities in the video, which will affect his final judgment and he will not be able to draw the correct conclusion.
Therefore, before watching the surveillance, it is necessary to do some preparation.
Zhang Tianxiao took a notebook and wrote down his views and speculations about Su Ming's supernatural powers so far. He also recorded every detail of the special features of Su Ming's supernatural powers.
After doing this, he picked up the landline and made a call.
"Fang Ling, are you free now?"
"I'm free. Minister Zhang, what can I do for you?"
"I want you to help me analyze a superpower. I have a sample of this superpower on hand."
"Okay, send me the sample information first, so I can see what kind of supernatural power it is."
"This sample is a surveillance video. It cannot be viewed due to the effects of the supernatural power. I will discuss the details with you in your office. Are you in the office?"
"Yes, just come over."
…
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tianxiao came to Fang Ling's office.
Fang Ling belongs to the Analysis Department, which is a special department dedicated to assisting the specialists in analyzing anomalies, summarizing the characteristics of anomalies, and formulating suppression strategies and containment strategies. Their brains are the foundation of the Investigation Bureau, and everyone in the Analysis Department is a very valuable human resource of the Investigation Bureau.
It can be said that if the Bureau of Investigation lost its Analysis Department, the death rate of executive officers would at least increase several times, and it would be impossible to stably contain high-risk monsters.
Fang Ling is the rising star of the Analysis Department. Although he is just over 20 years old, he has already made outstanding achievements in weird theory. He has several articles on weird research, which are widely praised in the academic circle. He himself has long been a top professional researcher.
At present, Fang Ling’s main research direction is supernatural power analysis, which is why Zhang Tianxiao found him.
Zhang Tianxiao sat down in front of Fang Ling's desk and handed a few sheets of paper in his hand to Fang Ling.
"Take a look."
The other person picked up the papers and quickly glanced through them.
"Is this Su Ming a newcomer?"
"Um."
"Did you write this? Are you sure it's true?"
"I'm not sure if it's true, because that kid's ability affects people's thinking. I'm not sure if I've been affected."
Fang Ling nodded: "That person said that his ability can affect the people watching through surveillance. If that is true, then this ability is incredible."
"So I wanted to check with you."
"I understand. Minister Zhang, please go to the small room next door and watch the surveillance video. After watching it, I will ask you some questions, and then compare your answers with the information you have written down now. Is that okay with you?"
"Just do as you say."
Zhang Tianxiao picked up the videotape and went to the small cubicle next to him to watch the video.
This video was not long. From the time he and Sylvie left the house to the time they returned, it took no more than ten minutes, so Zhang Tianxiao finished watching the video quickly.
In the video, Xia Xiaoyu stood beside Su Ming from beginning to end. After Zhang Tianxiao and Sylvie went out, she stepped forward and stripped off the shirts of the five people. Then she took out the red pen she had stolen from Sylvie and drew a red cross on each person's heart.
After doing all this, she returned to Su Ming and handed the red pen to Su Ming. The whole process lasted a long time, perhaps only five minutes.
Zhang Tianxiao stared at the picture on the screen intently. The video ended, but he felt even more confused.
In the video, Su Mingming clearly did nothing. There was nothing special about this video at all.
Could it be that... I have been affected by Su Ming's supernatural powers?
Watch it again.
Zhang Tianxiao started playing the video again. After watching it for the second time, he still didn't find anything special.
He returned to Fang Ling's office and sat down opposite Fang Ling with a very confused expression.
Fang Ling looked up at the other person and asked, "Have you finished watching the video?"
"I've finished reading it."
"What do you think?"
"What he said must be true. I feel like I have been affected by his ability. I feel like there is nothing special about that video. It's very normal."
There was a gleam of light in Fang Ling's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Things are getting interesting. This newcomer named Su Ming seems to be able to indirectly influence others through video recording.
This means that Su Ming's ability has a permanent influence on objects. Even if he is not in the state of activating his ability, the objects that have been affected by him will still maintain his special influence, just like this surveillance record.
This alone is enough to prove that this ability is extremely powerful. The ability to give normal objects special properties is always scarce. And the ability to give objects special properties through observation without direct contact is even more incredible... It may very well involve the concept of cause and effect.
Cause and effect, in this field, are often described as rules - that is, once the preconditions are met, the subsequent effects are automatically achieved.
"Minister Zhang, you should have seen that your five subordinates had their shirts taken off and red crosses were drawn on their chests, right?" Fang Ling looked at the paper written by Zhang Tianxiao and confirmed with him again.
"Yes."
"How did the clothes get taken off? How did the red cross get drawn on it?"
"have no idea."
"The clothes were taken off, and there were red crosses on the body, but no one knew who did it. Don't you think it's strange?" Fang Ling tried to guide the other party's thinking.
Zhang Tianxiao thought about it for several minutes with a puzzled expression, then shook his head: "Well... I don't think this is strange."
Fang Ling handed the other party the handwritten reflections and asked him to read it from the beginning.
After Zhang Tianxiao finished reading it, his expression became even more confused .
"You thought this phenomenon was very strange at the time, but now you think it is very normal, which means you have been affected by surveillance," said Fang Ling.
As Fang Ling spoke, he observed Zhang Tianxiao's expression. He keenly sensed a hint of doubt in the other person's heart.
"Minister Zhang, do you still remember how you felt when you wrote these words?"
“It’s incredible… I can’t understand why I thought such an ordinary thing was so special.
Or... these things are special in the first place, but I have been influenced by Su Ming now, so I can't perceive the special nature of these things?" Zhang Tianxiao analyzed himself.
