"call!"
In the early morning, John Oppenheimer slowly opened his eyes on the hotel bed.
He looked at the strange woman who was still sleeping beside him, got up without any nostalgia, put on his pajamas and walked towards the bathroom.
This is already the thirty-fifth day since he gained superpowers.
Ever since that day, when he discovered that he could easily overturn a redneck who was chasing him, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights, thinking about the strange power he suddenly gained every day.
At first, he was a little worried, worried that he had some disease, so he went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, but nothing was found.
After a few days, after seeing that there was still no problem with his body, he slowly relaxed.
However, he still kept an eye out and spent a lot of time every day searching for examples of superpowers on the Internet. As a result, he discovered a pattern, that is, from June to mid-July, there were continuous reports related to superpowers around the world. News appeared, on average several times a day, and even his own deeds were published in newspapers.
Fortunately, John felt that his identity was not exposed.
From the initial excitement to the subsequent apprehension after acquiring superpowers, to the current cautiousness and low-keyness, John is not crazy about acting as a superhero. He is afraid that his special power will be noticed by the government. If the government notices, He suspected that he might be caught in the laboratory and sliced into slices by those evil scientists.
Just like Einstein’s brain…
Therefore, instead of being ostentatious, he became completely silent. He would hide alone in his room after returning home from get off work every day, testing his superpowers.
Gradually, he discovered that as he experimented, his body began to undergo new changes. His strength began to increase, and his skin became as tough as rubber. Not only that, when he went to the bar to hang out last night, , a drunkard suddenly appeared and provoked him.
When he was furious, his eyes suddenly felt an inexplicable burning feeling, as if something wanted to burst out, but because of his careful personality, he quickly suppressed it.
"I don't know whether this power is good or bad..."
John came to the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. He looked at his blond hair and, as usual, combed his hair back neatly.
John himself is handsome and sunny, and this haircut gives him a more tough temperament, which is in line with the popular beauty style in North America. In addition, he is still unmarried. Whether in the company or in a bar, he is like a young woman. The goal to chase.
Because of this, his private life is very rich.
And the one who is still asleep on the bed is obviously the trophy he captured in the bar last night...
However, John did not miss the other party. His mind was filled with the scene where the drunkard provoked him last night. Obviously, with his sudden increase in strength, the drunken man's fate was very sad, but that was not what he cared about. It was the burning sensation in his eyes that he suddenly felt last night.
"What's going on with that feeling?"
John looked thoughtful. He raised his head again and looked at himself in the mirror silently. Then he frowned again and stared at the figure in the mirror.
However, there was no movement in the area around his eyes, and the burning sensation from last night never appeared.
"Is it an emotional problem?"
John was a little confused. He suddenly took a deep breath, then held his breath and continued to stare at the mirror.
However, nothing happened to him in the mirror.
After trying for a while, just when John was about to give up, he suddenly heard a crisp doorbell ringing from outside the door.
Not the bathroom door, but the hotel room door.
John then turned and left the bathroom and came to the door, "Who is it?"
"I'm the food delivery guy, sir."
A waiter's voice came from outside the door.
Seeing this, John silently opened the door, but what he saw was not a hotel waiter, but three men in suits and black sunglasses.
"We are from the FIB. Can you spare a little time and come with us?"
The man leading the door showed a certificate with the FIB logo on it.
Seeing this, John's heart sank. He immediately understood why the other party was looking for him, but on the surface he looked confused, "I don't know what I did to make you come to me?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
The leading man smiled and didn't say much.
Damn it, was it exposed last night
John was even more wary. He looked down at himself and then smiled apologetically, "Please wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."
"Okay, we'll wait for you at the door."
The FIB nodded.
John just closed the door, and his expression suddenly became anxious. He looked around the room, and his eyes lit up when he saw the half-open window on the balcony. He changed his clothes without thinking, and then didn't even look at the bed. The woman, who was still sleeping deeply, turned over and stepped out of the window.
The hotel was not high-rise, and he lived on the fifth floor. As soon as he stepped out of the window, he looked around, and then stepped on a bulge outside the window accurately.
Then he grabbed the window next door and carefully moved towards the window of the other room.
If it were him in the past, he would not dare to do this even to death. However, recently after he obtained superpowers, his physical fitness and strength have continued to increase, and his courage has become bolder, which is why he is now like this. scene.
"Ding bell..."
Inside the window, the doorbell suddenly sounded again. John's heart tightened, and his hands moved faster. He gathered all the strength in his hands, and then with a slight swing of his arms, he jumped to the door next door. outside the window.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a violent banging sound from the room he left before, as if someone was banging on the door. At the same time, a woman's scream came, and John became even more nervous. He gritted his teeth and looked downstairs, and simply went straight Let go and the whole person will fall down!
However, when he fell out of the third-floor window, his hands suddenly grabbed hold again, and suddenly, he was hanging firmly out of the third-floor window!
"He's running away, catch him!"
At this moment, there was a sudden noise above the head, and an FIB agent stuck his head out of the window. He immediately saw John who was falling and escaping, and then quickly retreated.
"You want to catch me?"
A trace of madness appeared in John's eyes. He loosened his hands again. Half a second later, he had fallen to the second floor. Then he lifted himself up again and hung himself on the second floor.
Then, he continued to let go while adjusting his center of gravity in mid-air. The next second, he landed directly on the ground with his feet and stood firmly in front of the door on the first floor of the hotel.
"Huh..."
John felt a cold sweat on his back. If he had made any mistakes in his actions just now, he might have been seriously injured by the fall. That is, he only dared to play like this after gaining super powers.
However, before he could even stand firmly on his feet, a sharp shout came from behind him, "Don't move, raise your hands!"
John was startled. He slowly turned around, only to see another FIB member walking out of an official car, pointing a pistol at him.
When he saw the gun, John couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly!
"Hold your head with your hands, lie on the ground, now!"
The other party still pointed at John and kept urging.
John felt a strong sense of crisis. He stared at the gun in the opponent's hand. At this moment, the inexplicable feeling he had in the hotel last night reappeared...
John couldn't help but squint his eyes, his eyes were burning like fire, and even his vision began to turn red, as if the reality in front of him had turned into a red world...
"Hands up, now!"
The other party continued to urge, but to John's ears, the voice became extremely distant, as if the voice would be lengthened and changed when the camera was slowed down, as if the whole world began to slow down!
In this red and slow world, John discovered that the muscles in the opponent's arm suddenly moved!
[The arm muscles squirm, which is a precursor to the finger pulling the trigger, which means that the opponent will immediately pull the trigger in a few tenths of a second! ! !]
Judging from this scene, John's inner sense of crisis had reached its extreme. He couldn't help but open his mouth, revealing his white teeth. At the same time, something burst out in his eyes!
Buzz!
John only felt the world in front of him flash slightly, and then changed from red to normal again, but he found that the FIB investigator in front of him, the firearm in his hand and his chest, had actually melted into a fist. Big bloody hole!
The gun had completely melted, and the big hole in the opponent's chest was completely scorched. An unpleasant burnt smell filled the air, making John's expression even more horrified.
He watched helplessly as the FIB agents fell to the ground, and then he realized that he had killed each other by mistake!
"Damn it!"
John cursed bitterly. He understood that the matter had become completely serious by now, but now was not the time to think about it. He could only feel regretful, and at the same time, his feet suddenly jumped, and he fled towards the alley next to him. , not even cars parked on the roadside!
After escaping for more than ten minutes, John stopped at a blind spot and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily silently.
"What did I just do?"
John closed his eyes in pain. He originally just wanted to escape, not kill anyone, but if he didn't attack the other party just now, the other party was obviously ready to shoot.
"I have to leave North America..."
John secretly made up his mind. Just as he was about to continue running away, he suddenly heard a sharp braking sound and a black off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the alley.
A beautiful woman with a cold temperament sat in the driver's seat and opened the door, saying in a hurry, "Get in the car!"
John hesitated for a while, and he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"Get in the car first, the FIB people will be chasing you soon!"
The woman urged with an urgent look, "If you don't get in the car, you and I won't be able to run away!"
After hearing these words, John finally gritted his teeth and jumped directly onto the off-road vehicle. Suddenly, with a harsh engine roar, the whole vehicle was like black lightning, driving straight into the distance...
It wasn't until the off-road vehicle completely left the area that John secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the woman driving the car, only to see that the woman was wearing a pair of low-brow makeup, and a cold and sharp aura came out of her body. , just like a rose with thorns, exuding an alluring atmosphere.
"Who are you?"
John asked still a little wary.
"I'm from Blackwatch."
The woman took out a certificate book and said, "The company has been paying attention to you for a long time."
"Blackwatch?"
Hearing the name of this super enterprise that has become world-renowned in recent years, John's heart tightened. He immediately thought of the changes in himself, "Does it mean that even you know what happened to me?"
"certainly."
The woman nodded and handed the certificate to John, "When you first awakened your 'psionic power', you were already on the company's attention list, but don't worry, we don't mean any harm."
John had a complicated look on his face. He took the ID and looked at it, only to see the logo of 'Black Security Service B·S·S' written on it in English. However, for the Blackwatch Black Security Service Department, John never Never heard of it.
"The task of our department now is to invite you, the psykers who have awakened your psychic powers, to convince you to join us. As long as you can join us, we can help you solve the incident of accidentally killing the FIB just now."
"Psychic..."
John thought about the name silently and asked in a low voice, "What does this title mean? Does it refer to the power I gained?"
"Of course."
The corner of the woman's mouth was slightly raised, as if she was smiling, "'Psychic' is the general term for all people who have awakened psychic powers. Of course, you also have another title on the Internet today, that is, superpowers, and the reason why you are The awakening of spiritual energy is related to the horrible virus that was infected before."
"Is that so?"
John suddenly realized that more than half a year ago, the world encountered a special virus. All those infected with the virus would eventually merge with each other and die in extremely horrifying ways. These are already well-known things. In the end, it was because of the Earth Federation and Blackwatch Corporation Together, we found a solution and pulled human civilization back from the hands of death.
"Did everyone who was infected with the fusion virus get the same superpowers as me?"
John asked again.
"of course not."
The woman shook her head, "Only a very small number of people can awaken psychic powers, and as far as we know, most people's psychic powers are not the same, and you should belong to a special psychic power."
As she spoke, the woman pressed the dash cam, and the screen in the middle of the vehicle began to play the scene of the previous confrontation between John and the policeman.
John immediately realized that the car was right in front of him, but he had been running for his life, so he didn't notice the car.
He looked intently, only to see the FIB agent in the picture pointing a gun at him, and his eyes gradually turned ferocious, and at the same time, his eyes quickly turned red, like the eyes of a demon.
Buzz!
Suddenly, two red rays of light suddenly shot out from his own eyes. This ray of light condensed in front of him and directly penetrated the gun and the opponent's chest at the same time!
"Hiss..."
John took a breath of air. He never thought that all that happened just now was caused by the red light emitting from his own eyes. It was simply unbelievable!
"All people have different psychic abilities."
The woman continued to state, "When everyone first awakens to their spiritual energy, everyone's spiritual energy is the same, which is specifically manifested as telekinesis. However, as time goes by, the spiritual energy will merge with your body. At this time, the spiritual energy will merge with your body. Changes will occur, and everyone will begin to show different strengths..."
"Some are flying, some are powerful... and your psychic powers can be called heat vision for the time being. No other abilities have been discovered yet."
"But judging from some of the psykers we have collected, some psykers have more than one power..."
As the two talked, the off-road vehicle drove straight to the Blackwatch Company's New York branch. The off-road vehicle stopped briefly at the entrance and then drove into the company's underground parking lot...
