Chapter 36: Formulating Strategies

me wider and stronger, and the speed of his Qi circulation has increased significantly.Come to think of it, with my current abilities, this conference should be a sure win, rightAfter leaving Chen Yan...The next day, Wang Lin continued to live his ordinary life.

He delivered packages during the day and, after work, he took some time to call Zhou Qi. He agreed to his invitation and then continued practicing martial arts.

A week later, Wang Lin received a call from Wang Erpao. Wang Erpao's voice was unusually angry and he only said that Ding Sheng had escaped prison again and the police had applied for support, asking them to go to the branch office for a meeting that night.

Wang Lin also knew why Wang Erpao was angry. He had already warned Lü Fang at the time, but he didn't expect Ding Sheng to succeed in escaping prison in the end. Wang Erpao must have scolded the police as useless by now.

In the evening, Wang Lin and Xiaoyue pushed open the door and walked into the department. Entering the conference room, Wang Erpao and Zhang Meng were already waiting.

Wang Erpao, seeing everyone had arrived, didn't waste time on pleasantries. He cleared his throat and directly announced the start of the meeting.

Today's meeting is still about the capture of Ding Sheng. Last time, if it wasn't for Wang Lin, we would have been wiped out. Such a situation cannot happen again.

"As for the second arrest, what do you have to say about that" Wang Erpao looked around and asked.

To avoid such a situation from happening again, we need to first understand Ding Sheng's illusions. Wang Lin tapped the table with his finger and looked at Xiaoyue, "What are your thoughts"

Wang Lin asked Xiao Yue directly because Wang Erpao and Zhang Meng, those two idiots, couldn't possibly have any ideas.

Xiaoyue nodded and said, "After the last mission ended, I specifically looked into information about illusions. In theory, it can reduce the effects of hallucinations, but it cannot provide complete immunity."

Wang Erpao's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Tell me more," he said.

“First of all, we need to know that illusions work by affecting which parts of our brain produce hallucinations.” Xiaoyue pointed at her head.

"The parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and limbic system, these areas control a person's higher emotions, cognitive functions, and mental behaviors. These are the root causes of our hallucinations."

Wang Lin nodded in agreement, but before Wang Lin could ask, Zhang Meng stammered, "I don't understand these. Tell me something I can understand. How can we minimize the impact of illusions on us"

Xiaoyue smiled at Zhang Meng and nodded, "There are four main methods to alleviate hallucinations, but only one method should be somewhat helpful for us, which is physical therapy, such as vagus nerve stimulation."

"What does that mean" Zhang Meng became more and more confused. Wang Erpao also listened in confusion. Wang Lin was doing a little better, but just stared blankly at Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue looked at everyone's expressions and explained, "It's simple. Stimulating the uvula with your hand can induce nausea and vomiting, which in turn stimulates the vagus nerve."

Or you can practice deep breathing by diaphragmatic breathing. Take a deep breath in, hold it for a few seconds, and then exhale forcefully. Then, inhale deeply again, hold your breath, and exhale forcefully. This can also stimulate the vagus nerve reflex.

“That breathing, I understood it, but what is that uvula”

At this time, the three gentlemen present were increasingly impressed by Xiaoyue. They thought her words were so sophisticated and elegant. Well, in their eyes, anything they didn't understand was considered sophisticated and elegant.

"It's that fleshy lump at the back of your throat. When you drink too much and need to vomit, you dig there, right"

Little Yue opened her mouth and pointed to it.

"Oh, I see. But both methods seem pretty slow, right Would the other party even give us that chance"

Wang Erpao listened to Xiaoyue's words and said he understood, but also raised his own objections.

"That's all I could find. Other methods are slower, these two are already the fastest." Xiao stood with his hands up in surrender, helplessly saying.

"Actually, there's another way, and it works very quickly." Wang Lin said while pinching his chin.

"What's the plan" Wang Erpao looked at Wang Lin with some surprise. This was truly a good fortune for him!

"Pain, even intense pain, can stimulate the nerves and cause them to quickly break free from illusions."

"Well, that's an option too. In an emergency, you can pick at your fingernails. After all, we're all connected, it would definitely hurt like hell and wouldn't affect your combat ability."

"How can we distinguish between illusions and reality" Zhang Meng asked again.

"The only way I can think of right now is not really feasible, after all, we don't have enough understanding of Ding Sheng's illusions," Xiaoyue picked up the topic again and then looked at Wang Lin and the three. "It's about the code."

"It's not a verbal code, but rather an action or expression, something subtle and hard to notice."

"Well, then just nod. If you find yourself suspecting you're in a dream, just secretly nod your head. If we respond, then it's real." Wang Erpao said

"Okay, but I suggest it's best to keep talking or singing as a backup plan." Wang Lin suggested with a frown.

"Well, that works too. As long as there are some pauses in the voice, you can basically determine if it's real or not, and then confirm with a nod." Xiaoyue continued to add.

"Okay, that's it. We can probably expect some pauses in the conversation. Let's sing a song instead, something upbeat. What do you suggest, Xiaoyue"

"Just sing the Hero!"

"Great!"

"No problem!"

"Yes!"

"Everyone agrees, the basic battle plan is finalized. Does anyone have any further additions Wang Erpao looked around and asked."

Wang Lin raised his hand. “Has the target location been confirmed”

"Not yet, we will be notified once it is confirmed."

"OK, I'm fine now."

"Alright, that's it for today. Keep the lines open and ready for a second capture anytime."

Everyone stood up and left.

On the way home.

"Has your wooden dummy arrived yet" Wang Lin asked Xia Yue.

"You're here! But I was thinking of practicing a bit first, getting familiar with it. What do you think Is Teacher Wang feeling impatient" Xiaoyue looked at Wang Lin with a mischievous smile.

Wang Lin generously admitted it, making Xiaoyue's face flush red.

"Time is money. It's a waste of time to figure things out on your own."

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you rascal!" Though Xiaoyue said it, the smile on her face was growing wider and wider.

Wang Lin was completely shameless now, laughing and saying, "Then are you a little white rabbit"

Xiaoyue lightly spat, "Bah! I'm Superman, here to take care of these lecherous wolves."

Wang Lin sauntered forward, a sly grin plastered on his face. "Hey hey," he chuckled, "I promise not to resist. Just do whatever you want, I'm always happy to cooperate."

Xiaoyue's face was getting redder and redder, but her mouth remained stubbornly firm. "Alright! Then I'll go back and get my whip, guaranteeing that you'll be howling in pain!"

After getting to know each other for a while, Wang Lin has taken off his mask in front of Xia Yue and acts like a complete scoundrel all day long.

"Shall I give you the first lesson then"

"I won't! My whip isn't ready yet!" Xiaoyue blushed and lowered her head, finding a random excuse to refuse.

Wang Lin feigned disbelief, lamenting with a heavy heart, "You wouldn't really want to beat me up first and then teach me, would you I'm your teacher!"

"As the saying goes, 'Husband and wife for a night...' No, it's 'A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father!' You can't treat me like this"

"Oh, I can't argue with you anymore. Forget it."

After that, the electric car sped up and quickly left Wang Lin behind. Wang Lin also accelerated to chase after it, but unfortunately, the electric car was not powerful enough and he could never catch up.

Not until she entered the residential compound did Xiaoyue turn back to say goodbye to him, and then she dashed away.

Wang Lin looked at Xia Yue's back, laughing carefree. I must chase after you, my white moonlight!e Pifu's turn to put on a pitiful expression. He sniffled and cried to Wang Lin, complaining."Brother, you wouldn't believe how hard our lives are! Our small sect is insignificant. Nobody takes us se...
