All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 247 - 216: Information Misplacement_2

Su Xin actually did not promise any special privileges initially, he only mentioned something about the other party being considered a founding member of the organization, which was just an empty statement. However, this empty talk might have a certain connection with the so-called promise of privileges, maybe misleading Lin Yufei so that when she hears the term 'founding member of the organization', she vaguely feels like he indeed said something like that, which leads her to believe he truly promised special privileges.

After Su Xin finished speaking, he noticed Lin Yufei merely thanked him seriously without any trace of recalling or pondering, as if she never considered if Su Xin truly said those words.

The notification sound from the system didn't ring either.

He had no choice but to remind, "By the way, I promised you better benefits back then, and last time I only mentioned it to the staff when I brought you to the training base. I'm not sure if they missed something, did your benefits improve?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Lin Yufei was taken aback for a moment, then realized she couldn't actually remember if Su Xin had said such words, and replied with a face full of doubt:

"I don't know, did you say that?"

Su Xin said confidently, "Of course I did, I even mentioned that your family background wasn't great before, but after joining the organization, at least materially, you wouldn't be mistreated."

"Alright then, thank you very much."

Lin Yufei didn't want to think too much. Since Su Xin said it, she accepted it immediately.

Su Xin nodded with satisfaction, yet until Lin Yufei turned and left the office, he didn't hear the notification sound indicating task progress.

Su Xin immediately called over the base leader, Lin Zixiang, personally instructing him to improve Lin Yufei's benefits by one level from this month and to arrange the top medical team for her.

"If this still can't induce Memory Illusion in her, then there's nothing I can do."

Su Xin then summoned Jiang Chengcai and repeated similar words to him. As a result, Jiang Chengcai was indeed misled by him, contributing to some progress in his task.

"Sure enough, people are different."

"Is it because Jiang Chengcai has poorer memory? Or is his guard lower, making him more easily trust others?"

Su Xin seemed to have a clue.

Although he didn't interact much with Lin Yufei, he could tell that she was a very cautious girl. Even if she appeared to trust others on the surface, she would always keep a hint of guard deep in her heart.

Even in such a trivial matter, she wouldn't deny her own memory just because of someone's words.

Based on this, Su Xin could further narrow down the selection criteria for the next eight targets. Ideally, they should think simply, have poor memory, or hold strong trust in him.

Su Xin mused that it was hard to find targets who thought simply and had poor memory, but in the organization, there shouldn't be a shortage of targets who trusted him greatly.

Next, he called in everyone in the organization with whom he had direct contact for individual conversations.

In the Dawn Association, there were very few who had the chance to speak with Su Xin face-to-face. Some members who had long admired Su Xin behaved very nervously and excitedly in his presence, and were easily misled with a few words from Su Xin.

"Ding! [Memory Illusion] Progress +1."

"Ding! [Memory Illusion] Progress +1."

"Ding! [Memory Illusion] Progress +1."

...

Within just over two hours before sunset, Su Xin successfully achieved ten points of progress.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the task [Memory Illusion] is completed, granting one opportunity to awaken your superpower. Do you want to use it?"

"Use it!"

"Ding! Awakened superpower [Information Misplacement]."

[Information Misplacement LV1: When two objects of similar size come into contact, their basic information can be swapped, causing others to experience a misalignment in recognizing the information of the two objects.]

[Note 1: If others touch or discover through other means, the effect will automatically be nullified.]

[Note 2: If there's no recognition of the basic information for any one of the objects, a recognition misalignment effect will not occur.]

[Upgrade Progress: 1/10000.]

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Upon seeing the description of the superpower, Su Xin rarely felt confused, being somewhat unclear about the specific use of this ability for a while.

He tried picking up a pen and a binder clip on the desk and attempted to bring them into contact, then activated the ability.

In his cognition, neither of these things had undergone any change, but since he mastered the Information Misplacement ability, he knew the information between them had been swapped, though he didn't know how it would appear to others.

He thought for a moment, placed the pen and binder clip casually on the desk, and called a staff member, instructing:

"Go get me a cup of hot water."

"Okay."

The staff member responded respectfully.

As he was about to turn and leave, Su Xin suddenly added:

"By the way, take that clip on my desk and throw it away... don't mess it up."

The staff member stopped and turned back, immediately seeing the pen and binder clip on the desk. He hadn't grasped the special meaning of Su Xin's additional instruction 'don't mess it up', obediently returning to the desk and casually picking up the binder clip.

But the next moment, he was stunned.

What he was holding was clearly a black pen, and the other item on the desk was clearly a black pen as well.

"This... this..."

The staff member was momentarily dumbfounded.

He clearly saw a pen and a binder clip on the desk earlier. What he picked up was obviously a blue binder clip, so how in a blink did this binder clip become a pen?

"Did I see it wrong just now?"

"Not possible! Su Shen clearly instructed me to pick up the clip earlier, but why is there no clip on the desk? It can't be that Su Shen got it wrong too, right?"

At this moment, Su Xin reminded:

"You picked the wrong one, try another."

"Oh... oh!"

The staff foolishly put down the pen in his hand and hesitantly picked up the other pen.

But an even more surprising thing happened.

Although he saw a black pen earlier, when he picked it up, it somehow turned into a blue binder clip.

"This... this..."

The staff couldn't help but rub his eyes, blink several times, and pinched the binder clip in his hand again and again, finally confirming—

This was indeed a binder clip.

"No, no!"

"I thought I saw it wrong the first time, so I looked at it very carefully again. How could I still get it wrong again the second time?"

"Could it be..."

"Is this Su Shen's superpower?"

After a round of self-doubt, the staff finally came to this realization and immediately cast a shocked but admiring look towards Su Xin.

Su Xin merely waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead."

"Yes!"

The staff left with an excited face.

Su Xin sat in the chair, lost in thought.

"Cognitive misalignment is essentially a type of illusion technique, making someone recognize A as B and B as A."

"But once touched or for any other reason the misalignment is discovered, they immediately become clear, and the recognition returns to the correct state."

"However, the other party only uncovered the illusion of one object, while still maintaining cognitive misalignment with the other object, until the other object is also discovered."

"As for the notes on the ability..."

"If there's no recognition of the basic information for any one of the objects, it means the target must be familiar with both A and B objects for Information Misplacement to take effect on them."

"Let's give it a try..."

Su Xin looked around, but for the moment, couldn't think of any object that others wouldn't recognize.

After all, the note says if there's no recognition of the basic information of one object, and basic information means, for example, a rock, its basic information is a rock. Even if others cannot distinguish whether it's malachite, wax stone, pink stone, English stone, or pebble, it doesn't count as not having recognition of the basic information.

Also, plants and trees are the same.

This means that these common natural objects or various common items in life should all serve as carriers of Information Misplacement.

It seems only extremely niche industrial products or rare special substances may cause the ability to become ineffective.
