After eating a little sothing, Raymond asked Ren to take him to see the n who had been temporarily locked up—especially the ones who had been killed.
To keep things quiet, Ren hadn't called the police but had pressed the matter down internally.
Those who had killed or injured were all kept in one place—"Boss, don't waste your ti. A life for a life, it should be settled like that…" One of the locked-up n sighed when he saw Ren coming.
His spirit looked broken. He gave off a lifeless air, as if he had lost the will to live.
"Bullshit!"
Ren roared in anger. "You think dying is easy? I could shoot you right now, but until I find out the truth, don't you dare make trouble, understand?"
At his outburst, the few prisoners instantly went silent.
Compared to when he faced Raymond alone, this was when Ren really looked like a gangster boss. Normally, he seed more like a rich businessman, nothing like soone tied to the underworld.
"Doctor, sorry you had to see that. Please…" After yelling at the n, Ren turned to Raymond with an apologetic look.
Raymond waved it off and looked at the prisoners. "These are the ones with problems?"
"Yes… You may check them however you want. They'll cooperate." Ren glanced at the locked-up n, warning them to behave.
"Good."
Raymond nodded. "Open the door."
"Uh… maybe we should let them out one by one, in case they lose control?" Ren hesitated.
From his reaction, Raymond guessed sothing like that had already happened before.
But to Raymond, these were just normal people. Even if they went mad, they couldn't cause much trouble in front of him. Nothing worth worrying about.
He shook his head. "No need. Just open it."
"Alright."
Seeing Raymond so sure, Ren stopped talking and gave a signal to his n.
One of them stepped forward and unlocked the door.
Once they entered, the locked-up n also seed to notice from Ren's attitude that Raymond wasn't ordinary. They forced a bitter smile and reminded him:
"Honored guest, please keep so distance from us, in case sothing happens."
"It's fine," Raymond said calmly, then turned to Ren. "Bring a stool."
"A stool? Okay." Ren didn't ask why. He simply waved at a man.
Right away, soone brought over a stool. Raymond sat down and looked again at the prisoners.
At that mont, he switched to Professor X's sub-personality—Privacy Violator, activate!
"Ahhh!!"
Almost at the sa ti, the prisoners clutched their heads and scread in pain.
Ren stared in shock, not understanding why they had suddenly beco like this.
But he quickly realized it must have sothing to do with Raymond. There was no other reason for it to happen so suddenly.
Yet seeing Raymond stay calm, silently watching the n, Ren didn't dare interrupt.
"As expected, sothing's wrong…" Professor X's sub-personality was speaking with Raymond inside his mind.
"What's going on? Were they influenced by psychic powers before?" Raymond asked.
"No. This isn't sothing psychic powers can do," Professor X's sub-personality denied. "Mind powers can control people or alter mories, but they can't keep affecting soone like this…"
"But when I entered their minds, I felt a strange, evil energy. That's what's been affecting them."
"An evil energy… Can you bring it out?" Raymond asked.
"Yes, but once it's pulled out, it will probably vanish quickly. If you want to study it further, you need to prepare in advance," the sub-personality advised.
"Alright, give a mont."
Raymond understood, and remotely called back the Exorcist sub-personality.
After briefly explaining the situation, he switched back, then in front of everyone created a shadow clone and transferred the Exorcist sub-personality into it.
Ren was startled to see another person suddenly appear in the room.
When he realized it looked exactly like Raymond, he cald down a little, but was still shocked. This was the first ti he had ever seen sothing like a clone.
Raymond ignored his reaction, switched back to Professor X's sub-personality, and signaled that they could begin.
Soon, faint red mist began to leak out from the prisoners' bodies, as if it could scatter at any mont.
The Exorcist sub-personality didn't hesitate. Forming hand seals, he gathered the red mist together.
Just like when he sealed Dormammu's aura before, he trapped this red mist inside a transparent crystal orb, then handed it to Raymond after switching back.
The clone vanished right after, returning to Raymond.
"What is that?" Ren asked, already guessing the answer as he stared at the red mist inside the crystal.
"Yes, this is what made them suddenly violent and unable to control themselves," Raymond confird.
"What exactly is it?" Ren asked warily.
