The person who was caught was also completely bewildered. He had managed to hide behind two or three other people, so how could they find him?

"Did you get the wrong person?" Admitting it is impossible.

Xie Yin looked around: "Cancel the floors where no one is going down, or I'll randomly push someone out."

No one moved; they just looked at each other.

Xie Yin smiled, and when no one got off after reaching the sixth floor, he kicked the person who had bumped into him earlier out. The person staggered and rolled to the wall and lay there, unable to get up until the elevator doors closed again.

One of the lit floors suddenly went out, followed by the 8th floor, then the 11th floor, and so on, until at least seven or eight floors went out before the lights stopped changing.

When they arrived at the 33rd floor where Xie Yin was, there were only two people left in the elevator.

After Xie Yin left, the elevator continued upwards and stopped at the top floor, number 39.

Xie Yin took out his key and opened the door to room 3308. A cold, musty smell of air rushed in, and a dark shadow flashed by in the living room.

"Smack!"

There was a sound of something breaking in one of the rooms. Xie Yin followed the sound and found it was in the kitchen. He had just reached the door when he was attacked by a dark figure. The spot where Xie Yin was about to be attacked immediately turned into black mist, enveloping the hapless dark figure. A scream came from the kitchen window.

Upon hearing this, the person on the 39th floor crossed out a word on the paper.

The young man in the wheelchair beside him said calmly, "I'm sure it's him."

"Execute plan A".

——————

There was more than one living creature in 3308. Xie Yin dealt with them one by one, then sat on the sofa to study the tasks on his bracelet. He found tasks that could be completed in a team, sent the links to Jiang Shuyin, and then glanced at the sky outside. A faint light on the edge of the clouds caught Xie Yin's attention:

"It's really lively, even the parasites have come."

Nova in the World Trade Center didn't miss this sight either, and like Xie Yin, he included the parasites in the opposing camp.

Official air monitoring centers in various countries also detected this unusual light. It eventually crashed in the jungles of South America. The countries immediately invited local officials to investigate. When reporters arrived at the site, the signal was jammed, the picture could not be displayed, and only a muffled groan could be heard before the screen went completely dark.

This scene at the monitoring center silenced all nations, sending chills down their spines; humanity was about to face a new formidable foe.

The top five most populous countries currently have the largest number of people with superpowers, likely due to their large population base. Country Z ranks fourth, with official data showing 350,000 people with superpowers. This is the publicly available data, and the actual number is likely higher. People from Country Z have always maintained a low profile internationally.

When the news broadcast announced this discovery, most of South America had already fallen, and people flocked to North America, only to be stopped by customs and wait for further notice.

After a three-hour wait, instead of receiving any notification, they were met with heavy artillery fire. After a fierce bombardment, only scorched earth remained on the ground, and billowing smoke rose from the empty crater.

A television reporter broke down in tears during the broadcast: "There's nothing we can do, they've been parasitized..."

Zheng Lanxiang was too old to watch these things, so she switched to a local channel.

"Comrade Lu Qiuying, Vice Mayor of Anshi City, stated that the city will further deepen market system reforms, vigorously promote the task point purchasing system, and ensure the safety of the families of superhumans on missions. Regarding the recent public complaints about polygamy among superhumans, the government, on behalf of the government, expressed its stance of non-acknowledgment, non-support, and unacceptability..."

Zheng Lanxiang sighed, "The government is still the best. It can consider us women and has a good attitude, which makes me feel at ease. Xiaoyin, work hard in the future and contribute to society. Mom is proud of you."

Jiang Shuyin turned off the silent mode on her bracelet and watched TV with her mother. Hearing this, she nodded in agreement, "Okay."

After the local news ended, there was still international news at 7:30, which Zheng Lanxiang insisted on watching.

Jiang Shuyin yawned and went back inside. She raised her wrist to check the time and saw the event link Xie Yin had sent. It seemed to be a new official section with official events, such as regional team-up for monster hunting, which required a certain number of people to enter. It was hard not to suspect that the person who created this event might have worked in the game industry before.

There are also activities organized by private groups, such as gathering people to search for people or things, where the organizer needs to pay teammates rewards or mission points.

Xie Yin sent an official message: to control the rampaging yak herd in Tibet; the train tracks were repaired; and two days later, a train bound for Tibet would arrive at Anshi Railway Station, taking away all the participants from the mission.

[Task Details: This is an event-based task with a point system. 3 points are awarded for each mutated yak killed/an ordinary yak rescued. Team completion is required.]

Jiang Shuyin licked her lips; she hadn't eaten beef in a long time.

Jiang Shuyin: Oh my god.

Jiang Shuyin: Have you arrived at your new home yet?

Xie Yin snapped out of his reverie and lowered his head to read the message.

Long, well-defined fingers tapped on the small screen.

Xie Yin: We've arrived.

Jiang Shuyin: Have you eaten?

Xie Yin: There's a lot of stuff in the new house. We're full now. Would you like to come over as a guest?

"......" Jiang Shuyin: Sure, I'm free tomorrow.

Xie Yin immediately got up, took a mop from the bathroom, wiped the dirt off the floor, threw away some moldy food, and discarded the refrigerator, which was no longer needed. It took him a whole night to clean up.

The sound waves from the listening devices upstairs and downstairs vibrated all night.

"This guy is very wary. He's probably looking for us to have moved the things upstairs, but he definitely won't find that the things are on the floor upstairs or downstairs at Tianhuabang, haha."

The young man in the wheelchair, holding his phone, said calmly, "Don't offend him."

That night, there was no black fog in Anshi, and the moonlight in the night sky was particularly enchanting, enveloping the rooftops. The young man opened the crystal core in the box, held it in his palm to absorb the energy, and after absorbing the energy, the crystal core changed from a dense substance into a hollow, single structure. He clenched his fist and it turned into ashes.

When the moon is full, it is a time for people to cultivate themselves.

The moon is an energy amplifier, equivalent to a spirit-gathering array in cultivation stories. Humans and animals bathe in moonlight, and their cultivation is more than ten times faster than usual. Young people are among the very few who know this secret.

Anyone can practice this. Maintain a state of tranquility, introspect your body, and focus your attention on the area you want to cultivate. After persisting for a period of time, you can achieve some success.

Everyone in this building, except for Xie Yin, is probably cultivating.

Sunlight obscured the moonlight, and the early autumn morning was a bit chilly. Xie Yin went out, wrapped the trash he had collected the night before in a bed sheet, and dragged it to the garbage heap at the entrance of the community. When he came in, the security guard saw that he was a stranger and asked him a few more questions: "You just moved in, right?"

Xie Yin nodded, and the security guard immediately held out his hand: "Pay the property management fee and garbage management fee, it'll cost 150 task points in total."

Xie Yin frowned as he looked at himself on the camera, realizing he was using facial recognition payment.
