"You call this phenomenon that happened to me 'Witch Metamorphosis'? Why? I always feel that the word 'witch'... well, it gives me a very strange feeling deep in my soul."

"This is the name set by the higher-ups, I'm not entirely sure about it either."

Sima Dan shrugged:

"However, the word 'witch' itself describes a beautiful, powerful, and intelligent woman, which suits Commander Qin very well, and she likes it very much herself."

"Oh?"

Liu Li raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with barely concealed excitement:

Is Officer Qin also in our project team? Can we meet her?

"Of course, it's more accurate to say that she's our direct superior, the person in charge of both the Jade Network Project and the Witch Project. And you're all Jade Network Linkers, so she can access your detailed information anytime she wants. How could we possibly keep our affairs from her?"

Sima Dan explained with a laugh:

"Based on our previous experience, it's not suitable for someone who has just completed the [Witch Transformation] to directly contact Commander Qin Huanyu. They need a few days of psychological counseling... After you've completed a few days of psychological counseling, she might even come personally to teach you how to use the power."

After speaking, Sima Dan glanced at Cao Yan with a complicated expression:

"And she is the source of our experience... As you can see, she can't control her emotions whenever she mentions Commander Qin Huanyu. We are considering whether to put an electric shock collar on her."

"Uh...could I possibly become like that too?"

Liu Li couldn't help but shudder.

She still idolizes Qin Huanyu, and even the thought of Qin Huanyu makes her want to kneel down and kiss the ground where Qin Huanyu has walked. But Cao Yan's behavior... seems pretty good too?

"Uh!"

Liu Li shuddered again, regaining her senses, feeling extremely conflicted.

She was both worried about her shameless thought and felt that it was perfectly normal, as if there were two little people fighting in her head.

"Hold your breath! Take a deep breath!"

At the critical moment, it was Sima Dan who noticed Liu Li's abnormality. He decisively slammed his hand on the table and shouted at Liu Li again.

Liu Li quickly did as instructed, and it took her a while to open her eyes again and regain her composure, though her breathing was noticeably heavier.

"You realize that something's not quite right with you right now, don't you? Just thinking about her makes you like this. What if you actually saw her?"

Sima Dan shrugged:

"Therefore, you must first undergo several days of psychological counseling and be able to control the abnormal desire for her deep in your heart before you can meet her."

"……I see."

Liu Li nodded, then asked with some curiosity:

"So, how many people have completed the [Witch Transformation] like me?"

"This……"

Sima Dan hesitated for a moment, then answered:

"You are the fourth, and the first, boy to complete the [Witch Transformation]."

"The first person to complete the transformation was a few months ago. She was a big fan of Commander Qin Huanyu and was introduced by Commander Qin Huanyu to join the Investigation Bureau as a prospective investigator. She is currently undergoing investigator training in Baiguang City. Commander Qin Huanyu discovered the transformation in her and promptly reported it to the state, which led to the establishment of our project team."

“In the months that followed, we kept a close eye on the Jade Network Linkers, but we did not find a second person who had completed the transformation.”

"Based on current research and speculation, two conditions are required to complete the [Witch Transformation]. First, one must frequently use the power of the Jade Net and be very adapted to and familiar with its power. Second, one must have a heartfelt admiration for Commander Qin Huanyu."

"Commander Qin Huanyu's true identity cannot be revealed to the public. Her title as the number one policewoman in the Holy Zhou Kingdom has indeed brought her a lot of popularity, but this popularity is basically just people's liking for beautiful women, which is different from worship and cannot meet the conditions for [Witch Transformation]."

"Until a few days ago, when Commander Qin Huanyu participated in an academic seminar at Shendu University and impressed some people like you with her talent, you began to truly admire her from the bottom of your hearts, and a series of transformations occurred."

“Cao Yan and her sister are both from Baiguang City, just like you, and were admitted to Shendu University. This is the main reason why we were able to arrive at the scene immediately after your accident. You were already on our list of people under close observation.”

“Cao Yan was the second to complete the transformation. At that time, we lacked experience, so we directly had Commander Qin Huanyu meet with her in person… As you can see, Cao Yan’s mental state is now somewhat problematic.”

"So starting with the third person to undergo transformation, we will begin providing her with psychological counseling. The reason the third person to undergo transformation hasn't come to welcome you in yet is because her psychological counseling hasn't ended... Um, do you have any other questions?"

"Hmm... there's one more."

Liu Li thought for a while longer and then asked:

"What are the main responsibilities of the [Witch Squad]? Are they like members of the 404 Investigation Bureau, protecting ordinary people during supernatural disasters? Or are they joining various research institutes to participate in scientific research?"

“Well… actually, you can choose to have it all. Isn’t Commander Qin Huanyu able to be both an investigator and a researcher at the same time? And she does both very well, and she can even find time to be an internet celebrity. Your Witch Transformation ability is a low-end version of her ability, so you should be able to do it too.”

Sima Dan pondered for a moment:

"Actually, none of this is important right now. Given Commander Qin Huanyu's personality, she will most likely respect your own wishes and let you choose freely. Those who want to do research can do research, and those who like fighting can participate in fighting."

"What's really important right now is to gain a deeper understanding of you witch metamorphosis beings... After all, including you, there are only four witch metamorphosis beings now, which is too small a sample size. We can't yet determine whether this change is more harmful or more beneficial."

"Therefore, we must quickly gain a deeper understanding of the Witch Transformers... If the benefits of this change far outweigh the drawbacks, we can replicate your transformation experience and artificially create more extraordinary individuals to strengthen our nation. However, if the drawbacks of this change far outweigh the benefits, we will immediately find a way to stop those transformations that have not yet occurred and study ways to restore you to your original state."

"……I see."

Liu Li paused for a moment, her gaze gradually hardening:

"I will fully cooperate with you to conduct a thorough study, and we can begin now."

Perhaps because male souls are more rational than female souls, Liu Li's performance satisfied Sima Dan. She was the best performer among the three Transformers from Shendu University.

Immediately after the conversation, a team of mental health experts arrived to provide counseling to Liu Li. Prior to this, testing was required. Only by understanding Liu Li's current mental state could the expert team develop a counseling plan.

The test is very simple; you just need to answer a few questions honestly.

To help Liu Li relax and feel comfortable speaking her mind, the mental health expert team will first show her Cao Yan's previous test records.

The gist is—look at your sister, she's not afraid of being embarrassed at all, so you don't need to be shy either. Speak your mind so we can address the root of the problem.

The first question in the test was a high-definition picture of Qin Huanyu in a police uniform, hot pants, black stockings, and knee-high boots. The test taker was required to answer their feelings about her, their true feelings.

—She's simply my goddess! Not the kind of goddess you see in a superficial romantic relationship, but a true goddess in a religious sense!

Liu Li immediately wanted to answer in that way, but the psychological expert team signaled her to calm down and watch Cao Yan's answer video first.

Soon, Cao Yan's rapid breathing and frantic voice came from the video:

"Ah! It's my big sister! Waaaaaah... Please, big sister, put me on a collar and lead me around! I want to be your dog, to be led around by you every day, to tear your enemies apart in battle, and to shield you from all kinds of attacks with my body... Hehehe! I also want to be the chair under your tight black stockings, to be sat on by you, to bear your entire weight, and ideally, the seat would be my face, then I would... Aha, a ...

Cao Yan's subsequent response was utterly offensive, causing her to explode on the spot. She was eventually forcibly injected with a sedative and carried away.

While Liu Li was dumbfounded, a strange change suddenly occurred in her heart, a feeling of vying for favor mixed with resentment.

—I can do so much more for my older sister!

The moment this thought arose, Liu Li almost lost the ability to think, and blurted out:

"I'd give anything for my sister! Even if she wanted to eat my heart, I'd personally dig it out, drizzle it with vinegar and chili sauce, and offer it to her with both hands... Uh, what nonsense was I spouting? No, no, no... That doesn't count, that's not my true feeling!"

Liu Li's face instantly turned bright red. She wished she could dig a rabbit hole in the ground with her foot and bury her head in it to hide.

"No, this is actually your true inner thought, and it's the answer we need most."

The team of psychological experts quickly comforted Liu Li and showed her several embarrassing answers from Cao Yan's past before she finally calmed down and was able to continue the test.

The following questions were quite similar to the first one, basically asking test participants to answer their feelings about Qin Huanyu in different situations.

Even though Liu Li tried her best to control her thoughts, when looking at Qin Huanyu's various high-definition beautiful pictures, she still couldn't help but feel the impulse deep in her soul to give everything for Qin Huanyu, and made several embarrassing answers that were not much better than Cao Yan's.

It seems Liu Li has truly become a chosen one and fanatical follower of a god, her every action conforming solely to the god's will. She possesses a sense of self, but it's practically nonexistent. For Qin Huanyu, she's capable of any illegal, disorderly, or heinous act.

Liu Li became increasingly alarmed as she answered, while the team of psychological experts remained remarkably calm, asking questions and taking notes in a very composed manner.

It wasn't until the very last question of the entire test that Liu Li finally heard a different answer from Cao Yan.

The final question is very pointed. Simply put, if Qin Huanyu asked the test subject to kill their own parents and relatives, what would the test subject choose?

Cao Yan's performance was classic.

At first, she was full of disdain:

"Just two old men. If their lives can make my sister happy, I'll definitely..."

Then Cao Yan's expression froze, and her eyes showed intense struggle:

"Although they are just two old men, although they have always liked to scold me and not give me enough pocket money since I was a child, although they... but..."

After gritting her teeth for a long time, Cao Yan in the video bit her lip until it bled, but she still couldn't say a harsh word to the two old men she was talking about.

After a full half minute of silence, Cao Yan finally let out a long breath.

"I can't do it... I'm sorry, big sister... but I really can't... If you insist on making me do this, then I'll have to kill myself first... Huh?"

Seemingly pleasantly surprised by her sudden 'brilliant idea,' Cao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and even laughed out loud:

"That's right... I can't fight those two old men, and I absolutely don't want to disappoint my sister, so why don't I just kill myself? If I'm dead, I won't have to make such a difficult choice! I really am a genius!"

"..."

After watching the video, Liu Li fell into a long silence.

She wanted to say that she could make better and more correct choices, but every time she opened her mouth to answer a question, the answer that came to her mind was no different from Cao Yan's.

She couldn't bring herself to harm her parents and relatives, but she didn't want to disappoint the goddess. The best way was to end her own life and use death to escape the difficult choice.

Realizing that she found it difficult to resist her true inner thoughts, and that even if she did resist, it would do more harm than good and hinder psychological counseling, Liu Li chose to tell the truth.

The expert team was not surprised at all; it seemed that the first two individuals to undergo transformation had made the same choice.

"what is happening?"

Seeing the experts huddled together discussing in hushed tones, Liu Li couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's one of the side effects of transformation. Most miracles come at a price. Your power comes from her, so it's normal to feel a strong sense of obedience to her... even if she herself doesn't really want to be this way."

An expert sighed and patiently explained:

"Fortunately, the degree of coercion in this forced obedience is not very high. When she asks you to do something that crosses your bottom line, you can still resist her."

"Isn't this level of obedience high enough?"

Liu Li was dumbfounded:

"I'd even be willing to dig out my own heart and feed it to her."

"...For superhuman powers, this level of obedience is really not high."

The psychologist gave Liu Li a deep look and said meaningfully:

“When you are truly infected by a high-intensity power, you will lose all self-awareness and become a completely manipulated puppet.”

"You still have self-awareness and the ability to resist her, which is already quite good and gives us the possibility to work on it... After our counseling, you will further reduce your level of obedience to her. You will still admire her very much and be willing to give your life for her, but you will no longer be a dangerous fanatic."

Chapter 195 Becoming a girl, awesome!

The flowers and trees of Shangyang never bloom in autumn, and the Luo River flows through the palace everywhere.

The palace gardens are evergreen and fragrant all year round, especially in spring when they are a riot of colors, making it a perfect time to enjoy the flowers.

In the spring breeze and sunshine, several women were enjoying the fragrance of flowers, listening to the birdsong and fish leaping by the pond.

Wu Xiqun lay on a large recliner with her eyes closed, resting. She was eight months pregnant. Even though she possessed the blood of a warrior, she was now unable to move around easily and spent most of her day resting like this with her big belly. This was why she often complained that being pregnant was like being in prison.

Yi Youyou was also lying on a recliner. She was only two months pregnant, and it was barely noticeable. However, she pretended that her belly was already very big. Not only did she push all the work she could turn down to Xiao Ye, but she also often took advantage of her pregnancy to enjoy Qin Huanyu's service. Not only did she have to be waited on hand and foot, but she also had Qin Huanyu apply shower gel to every inch of her skin when she took a bath.

Qin Huanyu and Nangong Yue were naturally busy taking care of the pregnant women. They not only had to personally take care of the two pregnant women's daily lives, but also had to think of ways to keep them entertained so that they wouldn't get bored.

Nangong Yue was a little better off; Wu Xiqun and Yi Youyou wouldn't bully her too much, since the children in their bellies weren't hers, and Wu Xiqun felt somewhat guilty towards her.

Qin Huanyu was different, because the children in Yi Youyou and Wu Xiqun's wombs were hers, and she could order them around with complete confidence, leaving Qin Huanyu speechless.

Now Qin Huanyu is multitasking, having divided her thoughts into two threads.

One thread of thought was running through the imperial kitchen, remotely controlling all the modern kitchen utensils, and with the help of several palace maids, developing and making various snacks to satisfy the cravings of the two pregnant women.

A thought process was linked to the 3D projector, quickly searching online for various amusing stories from the White Eagle Federation to share with everyone.

Her true form was sometimes massaging Yi Youyou's shoulders and back, sometimes using the power of the Holy Maiden to peel apples for Wu Xiqun, and occasionally discussing mechanical efficiency and aerodynamics with Nangong Yue.

Almost two months had passed since that grand New Year's fireworks display.

Under the strong suppression of the military, the initial riots in the White Eagle Federation were quickly quelled, and the country remained under military control for a long period afterward.

Thanks to its strong technological foundation, the White Eagle Federation restored network communication to its citizens in less than a month.

With so many satellites damaged, even with the White Eagle Federation's strong industrial capabilities, it's impossible to restore everything to its original state within a month.

Currently, the main provider of network services to the White Eagle Federation is a small satellite constellation network launched by a large technology company.

Unlike traditional orbital communication satellites, these small satellites fly at an altitude of only 500 to 700 kilometers, making their launch costs much lower and allowing for rapid replenishment.
