Chapter 132: Psychological Analysis of Yang Yi at Aka Country's Secret Meeting

Ever since Yang Yi appeared, every single one of her actions has been watched by countless people — including, of course, the top echelons of nations around the world, and none more attentive than the governments themselves.

Although she has not spoken a single word since reappearing, the order in which she saved the various countries has revealed the political leanings of this "God of the Mortal World." The Western nations, led by Aka Country, have been like flies scenting blood, picking up an ominous whiff.

Experts from every country urgently analyzed her power and compared it with before, only to discover, to their dismay, that she was even more powerful than the S-rank she had previously been rated — she could now be called SS-rank without exaggeration.

SS-rank means she could easily wipe a country off the face of the Earth, and suffer no injury in the process.

SS-rank means that Earth's existing forces can no longer inflict any fundamental harm on her — for instance, Earth's currently strongest weapons, nuclear bombs, and the newly developed dark-matter weapons.

She has already become a "superhuman" in the truest sense of the word.

After Yang Yi's appearance, the Aka Country government urgently organized a secret online meeting, the topic of which was: What changes to the existing world order will Yang Yi's appearance bring about?

Besides various Aka Country political figures, there were senior FBI intelligence analysts, CIA special agents, and even experts from every field — scientists, economists, sociologists, linguists, computer science specialists — who would analyze what impact her appearance would have on their respective industries. There were also psychologists and behavioral prediction specialists to analyze her mental state and forecast her future actions.

"Beyond any doubt, she will bring changes to the existing world order. Based on the order in which she saved the various countries, I do not believe she was not influenced by the Xia Country government — perhaps the very list of rescue order was drawn up by the Xia side! Since she is willing to follow it, her stance is already very clear!" said a senior Aka Country government official.

"This is almost a certainty. What we now need to know is, just how far is she willing to go for Xia Country? If Xia Country prepares to expand its international influence, or even expand its territory, will she step in?" said another Aka Country political figure, frequently seen on television, with great agitation.

"Worse still — if Xia Country prepares to rule the globe and establish a communist state, will she charge into battle for the Xia government… if it truly comes to that, I fear no one will be able to stop her!"

"First we must know: what exactly is her relationship with Xia Country? Is she a puppet with no mind of her own, willing to be a weapon in Xia's hands, or is there already a rift inside, and she simply does not wish to go against Xia's wishes for some reason? …"

"If she is Xia's weapon, and is even willing to charge into battle for the Xia government, then by whatever means, we must destroy her! If there is some rift between her and the Xia government, we must seize this chance to win her over — even if we cannot win her to our side, as long as we can make her promise not to interfere in the existing international order, that itself would be a victory…" an extreme right-wing political figure said, trembling with agitation, clenching his fist and shouting loudly.

Someone gave a cold laugh. "Then please tell me, by what method would you destroy her? Even if there were a one-in-ten-thousand chance she died, and then a crisis like the Void-Eating Beast appeared again, who would deal with it?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

After a long pause, the meeting's host stepped in: "I think these questions can be discussed after we have determined her own inclinations. What we must first clarify is: what does she herself think? Her political leanings, her mind, her thoughts, and so on… Let us first invite Professor Ferdinand Xinbawei to analyze her psychological state."

Ferdinand Xinbawei was a psychology professor at Harvard. He had been listening to the political officials trade barbs with an expressionless face; only when the host called his name did he clear his throat softly and flip through the materials in front of him.

"The materials sent to me by the relevant departments are not complete, so I can only analyze based on what is available, and on Yang Yi's pattern of behavior since her appearance — there will certainly be omissions." Professor Xinbawei pushed up his glasses as he spoke; everyone on screen knew that the "relevant departments" he referred to were the FBI and CIA.

"From the investigation of Yang Yi's past incidents, has anyone noticed a particular feature: she has never killed a person."

Professor Xinbawei looked up at the various figures on the screen, then continued: "This indicates she possesses a fairly high moral standard, as well as extremely strong self-control. I believe everyone has read her detailed file — her teenage years were extremely unfortunate. From the impressions of the people around her, we can see that this 'childhood trauma' had a great impact on her personality. In daily life she was a taciturn, withdrawn person, and even today, traces of that personality can still be seen in her.

"Given her experiences, it would have been entirely normal for her to grow into a 'perverted serial killer,' a 'streetwalker,' or some small-time figure drifting through the lower rungs of society. Even if, after gaining superpowers, she had wantonly killed the innocent, been cruel and ruthless, and toyed with human lives, we would not have found it strange. What is truly strange is that her moral standard is higher than most people's — sometimes she even resembles a 'saint.'"

At these words, silence fell. The experts from every field on screen wore a variety of expressions — some showed mockery, some were coldly sneering, some wore strange looks, some were full of incomprehension, and so on.

Professor Xinbawei paid no attention to the crowd and went on: "From the materials, I see that this God of the Mortal World performed many good deeds even back in her student days — for example, helping lost children find their parents, stopping a groper on a bus. Even later, after she started working, there are several records of donations to society… I wonder if everyone has seen this video — it is surveillance footage of her rescuing a little girl from a fire while working part-time as a tutor. She threw herself into the rescue without a thought for herself, with a kind of reckless, self-abandoning drive. I suspect she may have a certain self-destructive tendency.

"I saw the CIA's interview materials with one of her classmates who emigrated to Aka Country. This classmate recalled Yang Yi's behavior at school and various small incidents, one of which caught my attention: this God of the Mortal World was late to a specialized class for some reason, and was reprimanded publicly by the displeased teacher. At the time, she flushed red and said nothing. But after that, she placed first in every exam for that class…"

"When a person cannot obtain satisfaction from the outside world, they will satisfy their own needs through themselves — I hypothesize that what she pursues is not various forms of worldly power, but the sublimation of self-awareness. She pursues a sense of order and a sense of control; she wishes to control herself, so no matter how the outside world tries to drag her toward darkness, she will struggle to go against it. Manifested in real life, this is her various acts of kindness."

"Combine her inner morality with this sense of control, and so — even though she has obtained such tremendous power — she has never abused it, never used her superpowers to run amok. I would even venture to guess that she may have set herself a principle: do not kill!"
