The core urban area of Starzhou City is still bustling and lively at night. Traffic control on the ground and in the air is looser than during the day. Colorful Cybermen appear in the streets and alleys in twos and threes.
"Is the popularity of prosthetics in Xingzhou City so high?" Yu Zhesen turned sideways to the car window and admired the neon lights along the street.
An He carefully drove the vehicle on the crowded road and responded: "Prosthetic surgery is very popular among young people at the bottom, especially those who feel that there is no hope of awakening their powers in this life."
"Have superpowers and prosthetic bodies become two paths that do not intersect with each other?"
"Aren't there always two opposing factions in the academic world? After all, compared to the total number of citizens, there are only a handful of people with superpowers, and those with outstanding superpowers and the ability to advance are even rarer."
Yu Zhesen opened his mouth and said after a while: "I don't know about this."
An He smiled: "The Xingzhou City Security Bureau has data. I got some information from my father. In short, don't think that superpowers are a very common thing."
"Perhaps most of the people I meet and know, whether friends or enemies, have superpowers." Yu Zhesen said in a soliloquy tone, "This really gave me a feeling - superpowers are there.
Our era seems to be very cheap, and anyone can wake up and own it."
"Theoretically, it is true that everyone has the possibility of awakening, but the actual situation is much more complicated. Some people use the catalyst for awakening of supernatural powers to forcibly activate their own superpower genes, but no one can guarantee that doing so will not buy hidden dangers.
." An He shook his head gently.
Yu Zhesen's mind immediately thought of Shen Yunqiu. Shen Yunqiu had always been incompetent in the past, but under the use of Han Jinghu, he used a catalyst to awaken his powers.
He once asked Han Jinglong and Luo Meewu and learned that Xingtian Heavy Industry itself did not have the ability to develop a catalyst for supernatural awakening.
Therefore, the catalyst originally used for Shen Yunqiu should be the same as the one sent to Lu You by the Returned Sect. It is a product of unknown origin on the black market. After all, the entire Iron Dome world has not officially recognized the legality of the catalyst for awakening supernatural powers.
The set that Yu Zhesen seized from Lu You's home was naturally handed over to the Security Bureau and destroyed according to standard procedures, but there must be many more such things on the black market and dark web.
Who created these catalysts? Are there any side effects from using catalysts to awaken powers?
These problems trouble Yu Zhesen. He is worried about Shen Yunqiu's future because he is still the only financial supporter of the whole family. He has to support his parents and support his younger sister's education. Life is not easy.
If Shen Yunqiu's body collapses due to his supernatural powers, it will be like suffering the same hardship as being exiled to the pioneer area again for their family.
"By the way..." An He, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Do you know where Wu Xiaoming lives? Where should we send her?"
Yu Zhesen, who was facing the car window sideways, was stunned for a moment and saw his silly reflection on the car window glass.
He couldn't answer this question because he didn't know where Wu Xiaoming lived.
After Wu Xiaoming returned to Xingzhou City, she inherited the Ya-Biotech Group left by Jin Guozheng. Logically speaking, the living conditions should not be too bad. Based on her living style in Qidao City - she lived in a limited-edition villa in Longpanfjord.
Looking at it, Yu Zhesen guessed that it was a place like a high-end villa residential area.
He told An He what he thought, and he immediately received a blank stare.
"Can I guess it based on these?"
"How about... let's try using the law of causality to predict?"
An He sighed: "Causal prediction is not omnipotent...but if you want to try it, just give it a try."
"No, let's forget it... I feel like the alcohol hasn't been completely metabolized yet, and I'm a little dizzy. You keep hitting the brakes again..."
"It's too crowded. If you don't apply the brakes, something will happen. Let me open the window. You should feel better."
An He said and lowered the window glass halfway to let the night wind flow into the car, causing Yu Zhesen in the back seat to shiver.
"I'm going to leave this area first. You think about how to send her home. Unexpectedly, I drove home." She said while looking in the rearview mirror.
Although it was not impossible to bring Wu Xiaoming back to their home, I still felt it was a bit strange that I didn't ask for her permission.
"I'll think of a way." Yu Zhesen was playing with Wu Xiaoming's left wrist wearing the bracelet, trying to find some clues from it, but he tried for a long time without success.
He can unlock the lock screen of Wu Xiaoming's bracelet, but he will encounter obstacles when he wants to further investigate personal information - the Supernatural Power Investigation Department not only put a limiter neck ring on Wu Xiaoming, but also installed it in her bracelet.
Monitoring program.
It is not a problem to use Shi Xin's strength to crack the surveillance, but Yu Zhesen is worried that this will bring trouble to Wu Xiaoming. After all, he cannot guarantee that Shi Xin's actions will not cause the Ability Investigation Department to receive abnormal signals. Then it will be difficult for Wu Xiaoming to explain
Clear.
This road didn't work, so he had no choice but to try to wake up Wu Xiaoming himself again. However, this road was also very difficult, because Wu Xiaoming became drunk again after getting in the car, and there was nothing more he could do except lean on him and nuzzle him like a cat.
Other reactions.
Yu Zhesen made up his mind and patted Wu Xiaoming's hot cheek with great force: "Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming..."
"Well... I don't want to go to work..." Wu Xiaoming responded with a series of drunken ravings.
"It's really speechless." An He sighed, "If it can't be done, forget it. Anyway, we still have a spare room at home, so I can sleep there."
Yu Zhesen also considered giving up the struggle. He bent down to find a plastic bag from the net pocket of the front seat and held it in his hand for a rainy day, just in case Wu Xiaoming showed signs of vomiting.
At this moment, An He suddenly braked, causing Yu Zhesen to hit the back of the front seat due to inertia.
He leaned on the back of the chair and raised his head: "What's going on...I praised you for your gentle driving style before."
An He grabbed the steering wheel and looked ahead: "See for yourself."
Yu Zhesen looked away from her and looked forward through the windshield.
The brightly lit roads and busy traffic seemed to be no different from usual.
An He didn't give him any hints and waited patiently for him to observe on his own.
Yu Zhesen's eyes gradually brightened up, and the purity of God's blood increased rapidly in his body.
With the help of enhanced vision, he finally noticed the sewer manhole cover located more than ten meters ahead. At this time, wisps of faint white mist were emerging from below.
"It's foggy...is the source of the fog the sewer?" Yu Zhesen was horrified, because this was an incredible discovery.
"It's incredible, isn't it? It seems like we've hit something big."
"What should I do? Do you want to investigate?"
"You can't park for a long time here." An He restarted the car, "I'll park the car under the shopping mall over there first."
