After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Chapter 431: Three Acquaintances

Grim chuckled and replied,

"I bet that cat doesn’t have a Superpower. Want to make a wager? We can have Reinhard Caldwell be the judge."

"That won’t be necessary. I have other things to attend to."

Wyatt Holden said as he stood up.

"By the way, Nina Jacobs, don’t go out for the next couple of days. I heard someone’s already found out where you live."

"Try not to let this blow up."

Wyatt Holden warned.

"It’s just a cat. What kind of trouble could it cause?"

"Don’t worry. When General Hughes gets back, I’ll report it to him truthfully."

Nina Jacobs replied.

Only after they heard Wyatt Holden leave completely did Nina Jacobs and the others let out a sigh of relief.

She had only found out today.

Of the five supervisors in the Correction Facility, besides Everett Young of Team 3 and Wyatt Holden of Team 5, the other three all knew each other.

But in front of outsiders, the three of them acted like they were at each other’s throats.

The three of them had come together for their own reasons.

Harlan of Team 1, because of his promise to cure someone.

Grim of Team 2, because of the old base commander’s last request.

And Reinhard Caldwell of Team 4, to get revenge for his daughter.

The three had originally held their own positions within Lornwood Base, but some things were just more convenient to do inside the Correction Facility.

"Are you saying the Correction Facility only exists to make the Puppetry Technique more stable?"

Nina Jacobs still found it a bit incredible after hearing what Harlan said.

The night before, Harlan had successfully used Hypnosis on Mrs. White.

"I followed Harlan last night. The guy nearly put me under, too."

Grim said, his eyes narrowed.

The Hypnosis had begun the moment Harlan entered Mrs. White’s house and started taking out his equipment.

Mrs. White had no idea, to say nothing of the child who was only a few years old.

Of course, even if they were to wake up, they still wouldn’t realize it.

"That’s right. The Puppetry Technique is real."

Harlan said.

"The first step of the Puppetry Technique is to break a person’s psychological defenses. Evander Langdon was once locked in a man-eating hell for a full twenty days..."

They make bloodshed and violence the norm, destroying a person’s mind and spirit until they become a numb "marionette."

Harlan sighed and continued.

"In psychology, this is actually called ’violence desensitization’ and ’learned helplessness.’"

"On top of that, Evander Langdon also received a blood transfusion, and one of his ribs has been replaced with wood. From a medical standpoint, it’s a miracle he’s even still alive."

"A blood transfusion? Was it Mrs. White’s blood?"

Nina Jacobs asked.

When Harlan nodded, she understood everything.

Mrs. White was most likely using herself as a medium to control Evander Langdon.

The Correction Facility was a large cage built for Evander Langdon, and the bloody fighting competitions were his spiritual tranquilizer.

"Unbelievable. And so cruel."

"I’m afraid he can’t be restored, can he?"

Reinhard Caldwell asked.

"I made a promise to Holly Morgan, and I will keep my word."

"If it’s a psychological problem, I’ll use psychotherapy."

"I don’t believe this so-called Puppetry Technique can completely destroy a person."

Harlan replied.

The only condition was that they had to leave the Correction Facility, leave Lornwood Base.

Harlan himself was a Gold Element Superpower User, so leaving the base wasn’t difficult for him.

But trying to leave with Evander Langdon was basically impossible.

Those so-called guards protecting the base commander were all put there by General Hughes to imprison Evander Langdon.

Besides, even if they did leave the base, he would have nowhere to go with Evander Langdon in this state.

"If you can get away, you can just go to Tomorrow Base."

Nina Jacobs said.

"You’ve been there? I heard that no one who goes there ever comes back."

Reinhard Caldwell remembered that Nina Jacobs hadn’t been at Lornwood Base before. Perhaps she knew something, which was why she sounded so certain.

"I have. I have friends there."

"Maybe you could try mentioning my name when you get there?"

Nina Jacobs said after a moment of thought.

She had been away for over ten days. Felix Finch and the others were still there.
