Chapter 501 Data

Lin Xiyue and Molos stared at the large stack of documents, which were densely filled with the results of the psychic center's investigation over just four days.

These results were obtained through intelligence provided by Hero, and then through the psychic center's investigation of various cases and accidents throughout the city.

The document details the problems they discovered:

In just four days, they discovered more than four hundred cases similar to Heheluo's, where families were using items to sacrifice themselves.

However, what is shocking is that in these more than 400 cases, almost everyone used different sacrificial items.

Some people bought plastic figurines directly, while others chose clay dolls, and some even cut out human figures from just a few sheets of paper.

In short, these items have almost nothing in common except that they all have humanoid features.

This discovery greatly surprised Lin Xiyue. She couldn't help but wonder why these people would choose such a wide variety of sacrificial items and yet remain undetected.

Moreover, even if these things are seen by others, they will not arouse any suspicion, and even those with psychic abilities will find it difficult to detect anything amiss.

After all, the items placed inside these human figures are the core of this sacrificial ritual, and most of these items can be easily placed inside after being purchased and taken home.

In fact, the discovery of all this is all thanks to Heheluo. It was because of her love for cotton dolls that she had the idea of ​​ordering a few custom-made ones.

It was precisely because of her decision that Lin Xiyue unexpectedly discovered the problem with the cotton doll, which was originally supposed to be added during the production process.

Otherwise, if this situation is allowed to continue, it may eventually lead to an unimaginable disaster.

"What exactly did these people sacrifice? What was their purpose in doing so?"

Lin Xiyue frowned, staring at the shocking words in her hand, her heart filled with doubt and confusion.

She simply couldn't understand what goal Philip was trying to achieve through this method, or what these people's motives were for doing such crazy things.

It's important to know that not everyone on this platform is as lucky as Heheluo.

In fact, some people, in the final stage of the sacrifice, cruelly murdered their wives, children, and elderly relatives with their own hands, and then chose to commit suicide.

This is such a heinous act.

"What was sacrificed? Isn't this kind of sacrifice obviously problematic? Why would anyone do it? Is what they're asking for really worth such a high price?"

Lin Xiyue clutched the paper tightly in her hand; its contents filled her with fear. She couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

"Awoo—Meow—"

Suddenly, Meros shouted from the side, waking Lin Xiyue, who was somewhat lost in her own imagination and panicked.

Looking at the paper in Lin Xiyue's hand and listening to her question, Moros's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

"Of course it's not worth it, but human greed is the hardest thing to control, so what they sacrifice is everything, including their souls!"

He spoke directly, his words filled with contempt and disdain for these people.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue's doubts deepened.

She simply couldn't understand what these people were after.

She remembered that the Psionic Center would release promotional videos every quarter to prevent these things. Hadn't these people seen them?

"I remember your center releases promotional videos or something every quarter, right?"

So, Lin Xiyue turned to look at Ling Yan, who was curiously playing with a small piece of malleable material, and asked.

"Not only that~ We don't just release these kinds of videos every quarter. We also frequently invest a lot of promotional resources on various short video platforms."

"Moreover, SMS platforms are also one of our commonly used promotional channels, and we frequently send relevant information to everyone. We even carefully organize some offline activities, such as distributing small perks like eggs, to attract the elderly to come and receive our promotions."

Ling Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. After hearing Lin Xiyue's question, he raised his eyebrows slightly and then slowly added to her.

From Lingyan's words, it is clear that the Psionic Center is going to great lengths to promote cults and heresies!

"Never believe in cults!" (ц｀w′ц*)

It's as if they're afraid others won't know, they practically want to grab the people's ears every day and shout loudly in their ears.

However, even with such a high-profile publicity campaign, Lin Xiyue was still quite surprised by the number of believers, which was over four hundred.

"Tsk, there are still at least four hundred people who believe this?"

She couldn't help but shake the documents in her hand, and said with a face full of suspicion.

Ling Yan remained quite calm in the face of Lin Xiyue's questioning.

"As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. No matter how hard we try to spread the word, there will always be some people who are blinded by human greed and cannot resist the temptation of cults."

"So all we can do is try to help those who can still be saved before they completely fall into depravity."

He waved his hand casually, as if it were no big deal, and then answered in a nonchalant manner.

Clearly, he had worked at the psionic center for many years and was used to this kind of thing.

He remained calm, seemingly not taking it seriously.

“e=(′o｀*)))Alas”

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but sigh, revealing a deep sense of helplessness.

She shook her head gently and continued reading with a sense of helplessness.

Not long after, Lin Xiyue had roughly read through all the cases of these four hundred-plus people.

"An Qing, before He Hailuo returns, take her to the warehouse to organize materials. Come back later. What happens next is not suitable for her to know."

Then, she slowly put down the paper in her hand, raised her head, looked at An Qing, and calmly gave the order.

Upon hearing this, An Qing nodded, indicating that she understood.

She quickly got up and walked towards Heheluo, who was about to walk over.

"Okay, I understand that roughly. So, is there anything else I can help you with?"

After An Qing left with He Hailuo, Lin Xiyue turned her attention back to Ling Yan and asked a question.

"You've seen the information. I was sent here to ask one question: Is it possible to undo their sacrifices, and are there any subsequent consequences?"

Ling Yan looked at Lin Xiyue with a serious expression. His voice was deep and firm, clearly indicating that this was the main reason he had come here.
