"Directly see?"<br><br>Jane Chen paused slightly upon hearing Lucas's words, then instinctively asked.<br><br>She emphasized the words "see."<br><br>"Yes!"<br><br>When Lucas spoke to this point, he too seemed quite earnest and said, "I can see the appearance of those monsters. That's why I could see that the three of them were just restrained rather than becoming part of the monster. Also, the reason my sister was able to help me deal with that monster was because I could see it... That monster is indeed frightening, but once you dodge it, you're fine!"<br><br>"So you're saying..."<br><br>Jane Chen mused, her expression gradually growing serious, "You can see those twisted psychic auras?"<br><br>"Sometimes yes, like in that café, I saw the monster put something in my cup, and just now when the monster erupted, I could see it too. But later, when the monster hid in the puddle, I couldn't see it anymore..."<br><br>Lucas spoke slowly, frowning, "You can't see it?"<br><br>"In most situations, no!"<br><br>Jane Chen frowned, speaking slowly, "And to be precise, we shouldn't be seeing it, more like sensing it."<br><br>"Psychic monsters have no tangible form and can only be sensed under certain circumstances."<br><br>"…"<br><br>Lucas pondered the distinction for a moment before slowly speaking, "Perhaps that's your problem?"<br><br>"This..."<br><br>Lucas's words caused Jane Chen some confusion.<br><br>Talking with this young man felt strange, including but not limited to the fact that he had an invisible sister watching you.<br><br>But her professionalism quickly helped her adjust her mindset.<br><br>Her tone became more relaxed, with a smile, she chatted with Lucas for a while.<br><br>She inquired in detail from the initial investigation Lucas conducted at Ryan Quinn's place to whether Lucas adapted to cooperating with the investigation team, even asking about how it felt to see and battle the psychic monster. She even fetched a pencil and quickly sketched, based on Lucas's description, the "anthropomorphic orchard" Lucas saw...<br><br>…Lucas felt this woman was amazing, even being able to sketch accurately just from his words.<br><br>"You did well this time, go back and rest."<br><br>After a serious conversation, Jane Chen rubbed her temples and said to Lucas, "I'll inform you about the subsequent investigation."<br><br>"Okay."<br><br>Lucas stood up too, looking somewhat hesitant.<br><br>Seeing this, Jane Chen smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, some of your abilities indeed are rarely seen by us. But after the Red Moon Event, abilities resulting from psychic anomalies are diverse. The fact that you can see those pollution sources and even engage in close combat with them isn't a bad thing, nor is it the weirdest. I've even seen those who can steal others' abilities..."<br><br>Lucas nodded and said, "Actually, I was wondering about the reward..."<br><br>"…"<br><br>Jane Chen was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled, "It will soon be credited to your account!"<br><br>Lucas was relieved, nodded, and turned to walk out the door.<br><br>"A lot of people are eyeing you with ill intentions..."<br><br>His sister, following beside him, looked up and said, "Brother, that woman with the deformed chest is trying to get information out of you..."<br><br>Lucas lightly placed a finger on his lips and whispered, "Don't speak, they've paid..."<br><br>…<br><br>…<br><br>After sending Lucas downstairs and arranging a car to take him back, Jane Chen, with much to contemplate, slowly walked back into the previously empty conference room. Lucas's answers seemed to have sparked many complex thoughts in her mind.<br><br>To the fact that Lucas could see those pollution sources and even considered himself able to see the monsters directly, she was unaware.<br><br>This might be seen as a flaw in her work.<br><br>But there was no way around it because the specifics of Lucas's condition could only be fully examined in the Main City with its sufficient capabilities.<br><br>And Lucas's mental state made her hesitant to risk sending him to the Main City.<br><br>However, Lucas's performance in this mission stirred more conflicting emotions in her heart.<br><br>The diversification of abilities often signifies a rise in the risk of losing control.<br><br>Yet, this young man saved three of their members during a perilous contamination event.<br><br>Or rather, prevented them from having to kill three of their own.<br><br>…<br><br>…<br><br>"Being able to see psychic monsters isn't a unique case. In fact, during a full moon when the weather is clear, and the red moon's light is abundant, many people have claimed to see shapes of mutated psychic entities. Some appear as ghosts, while others morph into various distorted monsters, which is where the term 'psychic monster' originated."<br><br>"However, to be precise, they likely weren't seeing but sensing them. Because the energy level of those pollution sources was so high, it affected our brains, distorting our vision, which is why we perceived those images..."<br><br>"Consequently, no photographic equipment can capture their specific image, a fact already proven."<br><br>"And the monster images we have to date are all obtained through hand drawings, holding little reference value."<br><br>"Additionally, it's worth mentioning that the psychic monster images seen by multiple people simultaneously are mostly vague and cannot be precisely described. The same psychic monster might be described by some as a ghost, while others claim they saw Ultraman..."<br><br>"…"<br><br>"…"<br><br>In the empty conference room, a woman's voice suddenly sounded, it was Corporal Bing Han.<br><br>Jane Chen rubbed her brow, then reached out to the window and pressed a button.<br><br>The walls of the office began to project, and the beams of light instantly formed several life-size figures in faint blue within the empty office, vivid and realistic.<br><br>The entire office suddenly seemed filled with people.<br><br>If an outsider saw this, they would find it incredibly bizarre.<br><br>Just two streets away from the patrol office, there are areas where phones are useless, and water and electricity can't be supplied timely.<br><br>Yet the patrol office's conference room had restored the high-end holographic projection technology from before the disaster.<br><br>"But he's clearly different…"<br><br>A man in a lab coat and glasses said, "Not only can he see them, but in his eyes, he can discern the finest details from a distance of four or five meters, determining whether our three team members were restrained or contaminated."<br><br>"This is beyond mere illusion. I suspect because his psyche scale is extremely high, making him highly sensitive to psychic fluctuations and changes. In his chaotic consciousness, he 'sees' the monsters!"<br><br>"Initial judgment, I suspect his psyche scale might have reached three hundred… or above!"<br><br>"…"<br><br>The office was momentarily silent.<br><br>Obviously, an initial-stage mutant, who hasn't even been guided, possessing a psyche scale over three hundred units is something of notable concern, and everyone needs a moment to analyze and assess.)
