"Why can't they figure it out on their own? What about the black librarian? Isn't she powerful?" Eddie was still unconvinced. He thought that there was more to it than just getting rid of the anti-government influence.

"Indeed, figuring out the puppets within is easy and doesn't require using my ability to discover their identities. There are obvious symptoms, and their survivability on drugs is one glaring factor."

"Blood contract?"

"Yes, the seer would have never simply trusted them if not for it."
