Chapter 595: Chapter 325: Anomaly Strikes, Song Yin’s Vigilance
At the banquet, Wang Wushan downed a glass of wine and set the glass aside.
"Actually, the people I admire most are scientists!
"I don’t admire those academic frauds; I only admire real scientists..."
Beside him, Bai Mo and Professor Zhang looked a bit awkward.
Bai Mo remained calm and didn’t look at Professor Zhang.
Professor Zhang smacked his lips, pondering... Before the Immortal Technique Era, he was quite productive; he didn’t really count as an "academic fraud."
As the group chatted away, Wang Wushan suddenly set down his wine glass and checked his phone.
"I have a nine o’clock flight tonight, heading back to Sichun.
"There’s some urgent business at the company!
"Expert Bai Mo, let’s wrap up our conversation for today.
"Goodbye!"
After speaking, he stood up and left, hurrying through the crowd, disappearing into the night.
Leaving Professor Zhang and Master Chong exchanging glances... What’s up with this kid?
After expending so much effort to meet Expert Bai Mo and bragging on, he didn’t discuss any important matters and even left early?
Bai Mo was speechless too.
This kid kept saying how he admired Expert Bai Mo, but as soon as his Gu Insect filled itself with Traitor’s Wine, he immediately got up and bolted.
Saying he admires, all fake...
Or perhaps... he couldn’t wait to return to Sichun, to seek revenge, to protect that city?
Bai Mo smacked his lips, held his disciple, sipped some grape wine, and continued chatting with Master Chong and Professor Zhang.
"Master Chong, what’s your relation with this Wang Wushan?"
Master Chong smacked his lips, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"It was a friendship forged before the Immortal Technique Era.
"Back then, I went to Sichun for business, but accidentally overturned. I was detained by the local tycoons, who wanted to chop off my hand.
"Friends from the Flower and Bird Association helped find him, and he intervened to get me out.
"This person is quite loyal!"
Bai Mo smacked his lips.
Indeed, even before the Immortal Technique Era, Master Chong was not a well-behaved businessman.
As the group ate and drank, Bai Mo’s phone vibrated in his pocket once more.
It was Mo Lanyou again, who sent a message.
This guy surfed the web intensely every day and always forwarded the trending topics to Bai Mo at the first moment.
Bai Mo looked at the post he forwarded this time.
[Will the West State Boss be attacked by the Prince Bloodline?]
[I don’t think so; is the Prince Bloodline that strong? If so, isn’t our society on the brink of collapse?]
[Think about it, in the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, what were the Prince Bloodline, they were Princes! At least young princes or dukes from a prince’s family.]
[What’s the West State Boss? A genius immortal? A powerful local force?]
[Can the West State Boss win, this feels hard to say]
Bai Mo curled his lips and ignored the post.
He was just about to take another bite of roast beef when suddenly a message popped up on his phone again.
This time, it wasn’t gossip; rather, someone in the high-level group of the West State Immortal Committee sent a message.
Professor Zhang received it too, looking serious.
Master Chong was quick-witted, instantly reacted, got up with his glass, and cheerfully went to chat with others.
Bai Mo looked towards the group and saw it was Song Yin who sent the message.
[There’s an anomaly in the prison]
[In today’s psychological health test, almost all inmates and staff at the prison showed psychological issues]
[Including me]
[All of us have weakened willpower]
Weakened willpower?
Can this be detected by a psychological test?
Bai Mo looked up at Professor Zhang.
Only to see Professor Zhang also looked up and quietly said.
"It can indeed be detected.
"Song Yin... he is a top psychology expert."
Bai Mo continued looking at the group chat and saw other psychology experts from the West State Immortal Committee, including Professor Lin, Professor Ye, and Professor Xu, speaking in the group.
[There’s nothing abnormal about this, right?]
[Inmates locked in prison naturally suffer damaged willpower, that’s undoubted]
[The staff at the prison, being exposed to these things daily, experiencing emotional depression and damaged willpower, is also normal]
[And let’s not forget, this prison was Song Yin’s creation, a type of prison never seen before]
Huh?
These words do make sense.
Then Song Yin spoke up to refute.
[It’s normal for inmates and staff to experience emotional depression and damaged willpower.]
[But it’s abnormal for my willpower to be damaged!]
[This indicates something abnormal must have occurred!]
The group was silent, struck by Song Yin’s words.
How should this be assessed?
Song Yin, what makes you so unique?
You’re not an Immortal Technique Master, merely flesh and blood; why can’t your willpower be damaged?
Song Yin continued to speak.
[I even suspect the anomaly has expanded]
[I propose, right now, immediately, conduct psychological health tests on all members of the West State Immortal Committee!]
The group remained silent.
Song Yin’s proposal seemed a bit crazy.
But ignoring it completely felt unsettling.
Professor Zhang lifted his head, "Expert Bai Mo, what do you think? What should we do?"
Bai Mo actually didn’t notice anything wrong with West State.
But intuitively, he trusted Song Yin, feeling that Song Yin wasn’t unreliable and heedless.
"How about conducting random checks?"
Professor Zhang nodded.
"That’s a good approach.
"Random checks have minimal impact and won’t cause chaos.
"It’s also quick and results can be obtained faster.
"Moreover... it somewhat respects Song Yin’s opinion."
He immediately typed and sent the proposal in the group.
...
Every corridor and every cell of the prison was illuminated so densely with bulbs, turning them pure white and shadowless, resembling a Pure White Hell.
Only at the entrance of the prison, inside an office, it was pitch black, with only the computer screen glowing.
