Chapter 258
Li Xiang’s words undoubtedly hit the key point. If an oddity organization could so easily control any important member of the Special Strategy Department through consciousness manipulation, then whether they chose Deng Yuqi or Liu Jiayi, who had access to more confidential, or used it to “assassinate” important officials, either option would be much better than choosing him, a researcher who only dealt with studies.
Unless… the other party’s goal was precisely to steal some important research data from the Research Department, or they were directly targeting Li Xiang himself.
The first possibility seemed less likely, because the surveillance footage showed that after controlling Li Xiang, the entity didn’t access any confidential research data. It only casually flipped through the reports on his desk, more like it was checking what he was currently working on to confirm its next course of action.
So, compared to the other, the latter possibility seemed more likely.
But what was the point of controlling Li Xiang? Just for that copy of the Oddity Sample Data that Shen Ge sent over?
If so, how did the other party know that Cheng Shengnan would receive that information yesterday afternoon, and choose such a precise time?
So, was Shen Ge being monitored, or were the people on their side being monitored?
Deng Yuqi felt this was an issue that needed to be investigated and clarified as soon as possible, because it determined whether the oddity organization’s capabilities were as truly “terrifying” as they imagined.
At least for now, neither Deng Yuqi, Li Xiang, nor the others believed that the oddity organization possessed such powerful abilities that they could completely toy with the Special Strategy Department.
