Boom!
The sound of the explosion was heard on TV news, followed by pedestrians at the scene running away and calling for help in panic, shrill sirens coming closer and closer, and thick black smoke covering the sky.
"According to our reporter, at 10:30 this morning, a robbery occurred at a bank in Shenhai City. An explosion occurred at the scene and many people were injured. Currently, one of the four robbers has been arrested, and the other three are still at large..."
The TV screen froze and the female host's report on the screen came to an abrupt end.
The interrogation room returned to an uneasy silence, and then there was a loud bang, and a thick file was slammed onto the table.
"Zhang Zhao, male, 32 years old, a B-level evolver registered two years ago."
The interrogator read out the basic information on the first page of the file, then looked up at the man handcuffed to the electric chair opposite him: "Five days ago, you and your accomplices robbed a bank and caused an explosion. 17 pedestrians were injured at the scene, but fortunately no one died."
The four walls were inlaid with explosion-proof steel plates, pinhole cameras were everywhere, and an inconspicuous metal plate was inlaid on the solid steel door - Shenhai City Radiation Evolution Monitoring Office, the third interrogation room.
In the middle of the interrogation room, on a huge iron chair that could be powered by a million-volt high voltage electricity at any time, Zhang Zhao, with handcuffs on his hands, raised his eyebrows at the interrogator with undisguised contempt:
"Is this how you, as a normal person, talk to an Evolved Person like me, Mr. Interrogator?"
The interrogator took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his emotions.
"Answer my question, Zhang Zhao. Your social work is as a partner in a consulting company, and your income is very high. Why would you risk being arrested by our Supervision Department to rob a bank?"
Zhang Zhao seemed to have heard an interesting joke: "Why? Of course it's because I'm bored."
The interrogator thought he had heard wrongly: "Bored?"
“Isn’t it fun to watch ordinary people screaming and crawling around like ants?”
Zhang Zhao changed to a more comfortable sitting position, looked directly at the interrogator's sullen face, and smiled: "The purpose of establishing the Supervisory Office is said to be to manage us Evolvers, but in fact, most of the people in the Shenhai City Supervisory Office are incompetent ordinary people, with only a few of the lowest D-level and C-level - what can you do with me, a precious B-level, huh?"
"… "
"Execute me?" Zhang Zhao raised his eyebrows even higher, and his tone ended with exaggerated sarcasm.
There was silence in the interrogation room.
After a long while, the interrogator slammed the file shut and said coldly, "What do you want, Zhang Zhao?"
A look of triumph appeared on Zhang Zhao's face and he leaned back in his chair.
"You just want to know the whereabouts of my three accomplices," he said lazily, "Come on, let's make a deal."
Many vigilant eyes inside and outside the surveillance cameras fell on this arrogant robber at the same time.
"On the day of the bank explosion, I saw a young man in black sitting in a car and talking on the phone. When I was arrested, he didn't even glance out the window - I know he is your leader, the chief inspector who rules over all the evolvers in Shenhai City." Zhang Zhao looked up at the surveillance camera and said, "My condition is that he come to see me in person."
The air seemed to stand still for a moment.
