Lin Fan's memory has been getting better and better since the upgrade.
Although I haven't reached the level of photographic memory, I will definitely not be unable to remember someone I met during the day at night.
But now, no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't remember what Shen Bei looked like.
I just remember that he seemed to be very ordinary looking and easygoing...
Lin Fan turned over and sat up.
There must be something wrong!
"What's wrong?" John Woo waited for a long time on the other end but only heard the noise of "hehe and rustling".
"You may not believe this..." Lin Fan sighed helplessly, holding his head with one hand, wondering if he had the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. "I can't remember what Shen Bei looks like at all."
“…” Wu Yusen was stunned for a moment, then he realized what was going on and said with a smile, “So this is what you encountered.”
"What?" Lin Fan heard Wu Yusen's tone and seemed to know the answer, so he asked hurriedly.
"You know what sleight of hand is, right?" John Woo was lying on the sofa at home, playing with the relief on his lighter.
"I seem to know." Lin Fan rolled his eyes and recalled.
I've seen it on TV and in novels more than once, so I should know it.
When Wu Yusen heard Lin Fan say "seems", he knew she didn't understand. He smiled and explained, "It's a technique of using certain means and techniques to obscure or divert other people's attention."
"Yeah, I read about it in a novel. By using the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, one can make things that are right in front of people invisible." Lin Fan seemed to remember reading it in a novel.
Isn’t that what you are talking about?
Who says reading novels is useless? Isn't it full of knowledge?
Wu Yusen couldn't immediately deny that the novel was wrong; after all, the principle was the same. "There are many different techniques, including the use of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, as you mentioned, and others. The point is to create an illusion."
"Are you saying Shen Bei used a trick on me?" Lin Fan thought it didn't make sense. "Why?"
"In addition to the active methods I just mentioned, there is another situation, which is a passive talent." Even if he had never seen Shen Bei, Wu Yusen could probably judge, "a natural weak sense of presence."
"What is that?" Lin Fan had never heard of this word.
"How can I explain it to you? You know that some people have a strong presence, right? For example, the eldest brother, no matter how many people are in between you, you can see him at first sight." John Woo thought for a moment and gave an example of someone she was familiar with.
"That's for sure. Whoever looks at his eyes won't be attracted by them?" Lin Fan moved his butt and leaned against the headboard. He no longer felt sleepy.
"But it's undeniable that as long as he stands there, he's hard to ignore, right?" John Woo used himself as an example. "For example, if Song Ren and I stood together, who would you notice first visually?"
That must be Song Ren!
Lin Fan thought to himself.
Song Ren's face is more handsome than John Woo's, and he is a little taller. Because he has been in the military for a long time, he has a straight posture and strong muscles. Because he is not talkative, he has a faint aura of abstinence.
As for John Woo, he is also handsome, but his handsomeness is not as eye-catching. His temperament is not as formal, but more casual and relaxed.
Although he has a very friendly smile, if we only talk about the first impression, Song Ren beats John Woo in seconds.
Obviously, John Woo didn't really want her to answer, so he continued, "Among your former classmates and colleagues, there must be someone who just blends in with the crowd, right? You know there's such a person, but when you think about it, you can't remember anything, so it's easy to overlook them."
Lin Fan probably knew what he meant. "So you're saying Shen Bei is also this kind of person?"
"I think so." Wu Yusen nodded. "First of all, there's no need for him to use any tricks on you."
Shen Bei had seen Lin Fan before. He was also a colleague on this mission. He had no motive to deceive her.
"Secondly, considering his class requirements, having a weak presence is the perfect support talent."
John Woo knew that many people had a weak sense of presence to some extent, but there were not many people whose presence was so weak that people could not remember their appearance when they turned around. Unexpectedly, Lin Fan also encountered one.
"How do you say that?"
"He's a bodyguard. What's a bodyguard's main duty? To protect his employer, right? But if he's too conspicuous, it will attract unnecessary attention to his employer," John Woo explained.
"So bodyguards don't want to be particularly conspicuous in appearance. They should even blend in with the crowd, making it difficult to spot them in a crowd. This way, they can better perform their duties."
"If you don't believe me, look back and see the bodyguards accompanying the group this time. They all look pretty ordinary. I'm not saying they're ugly, but they're not like the ones on TV, with handsome men and beautiful women who are particularly eye-catching."
It’s not that people with good looks can’t do the job, but as a bodyguard, it’s really not as convenient to be average-looking as to be good-looking.
Otherwise, as soon as you show up, people will stare at you, and your employer's security pressure will increase unnecessarily. Isn't that troublesome?
"Is that so? I thought they didn't hire good-looking bodyguards because they were afraid of overshadowing their masters." Lin Fan muttered softly.
Wu Yusen smiled. "Private bodyguards don't rule out the possibility of what you're talking about, but this is a national TV station, there's no competition for attention. The bodyguards around big leaders, those who can't attract attention but can handle things on their own, are the most useful."
Lin Fan nodded, this is true.
After all, they are the backbone of the country, and safety is the first priority.
"If people like them don't follow the right path, wouldn't that be very convenient?" Lin Fan began to think divergently again.
"Yes, but this is a matter of personal character and has nothing to do with talent. It's just that if this kind of person commits a crime, it is indeed harder to catch than others." John Woo pinched the bridge of his nose.
He encountered this once and asked the witnesses, but no one could remember what the person looked like.
Later, they checked the surveillance footage and finally found the person, but he had forgotten what he looked like and had to print out a photo to carry with him for comparison.
Just like that, I almost let the person run away when we passed each other.
Fortunately, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong and took out the photo to take a look, otherwise who knows how long it would take.
Lin Fan laughed out loud after hearing this, and he could imagine how passive John Woo was at the time.
John Woo didn't mind. After she finished laughing, he asked about her day.
Knowing that they had a small competition in the afternoon, Lin Fan felt a little excited when he didn't beat his opponent.
Should he try it too? Should he tell Lin Fan not to use his weapon?
The two of them hung up after not chatting for long.
When Lin Fan was wrapped in the quilt, he couldn't help but think about Shen Bei's appearance.
Those eyes seemed... seemed...
There seems to be a vague image in my mind, but it is not very clear.
She didn't know when she fell asleep, but the next day she was woken up by a knock on the door.
Lin Fan jumped up from the bed and touched his cell phone.
Phew! Fortunately, I didn’t sleep.
The person outside was still knocking three times slowly and steadily. Actually, the sound was not loud, but she had sharp ears!
Since the alarm was almost time anyway, Lin Fan put on a coat and went to open the door.
I thought it was Shen Bei, but when the door opened, it was an unexpected face.
"Cen Fangyuan?"
Anyone else remember who this is?
Hahaha, I worked so hard to come up with this name, how can I only use it once? What a waste.
