"Article 1229 of the Hope City Law Code: If the crimes committed by unregistered superpowers do not meet the [evil] standard, the punishment may be reduced or exempted as appropriate, and they may be dispatched for voluntary labor in a targeted manner."
Fran said seriously that this was not a law she made up, but was clearly written in the documents in Zhuang Mian's office.
The only problem was that because she didn't see it clearly enough, there were always some problems when she recited it.
Shi Jin listened silently, and when Fran finished reciting, he suddenly asked:
“Why haven’t I heard of this?”
Fran, who had returned to her living state, showed a disdainful expression:
"Have you ever learned anything about this before?"
"……No."
"Have you been in here before?"
"……No."
"Have you ever had super powers?"
"……No."
"That's it, isn't it?"
Fran stretched out her claws forward. Shi Jin thought he was going to be taught a lesson by his new boss, so he shrank back slightly. However, he did not expect that the other party just stretched out his claws and patted his shoulder.
Although she herself did not like being disciplined by her boss or superior, perhaps because the kitten in front of her was unfathomable, or perhaps because the other party had just added a large amount to her lifespan, in short, at this moment Shi Jin did not dislike the superior in front of her who was disguised as a kitten.
"Okay, don't be nervous. I also thought the future would be bleak...
"I can't tell you too much. Anyway, we, um, although the Holy Fire Meow Meow Church doesn't have any salary, subsidies or material rewards... Anyway, it's a pretty good place."
Fran forgot most of the excuses she had prepared and almost fell into the hole she dug.
Fortunately, superpowers are a real benefit, and this alone is something that no other job or organization can match.
"Time is running out. It's time to familiarize yourself with your abilities before those people come and take you away."
The sky was already turning a faint bluish-white, and the dim morning light shone through the small iron window above Shi Jin's cell.
Shi Jin had no intention of sleeping. He tried to focus his consciousness deeper into his body, getting familiar with his abilities while looking forward to a bright future.
---
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhuang Mian, who was sleeping, slowly opened his eyes.
She quickly looked at the alarm clock beside her and saw that there were exactly ten minutes left until the 6:10 she had set.
She then got up with satisfaction and left her bed without any attachment.
Today is the agreed day, and we can't delay it any longer.
Shi Jin's interrogation records have filled an entire book. She and the two clerks in charge of recording have memorized the time and process of the crimes.
If we continue the trial, even a fool can see that something is wrong.
Zhuang Mian has made up his mind that no matter how the situation develops, today is the deadline.
She took her two men to the prison area and took Shi Jin out of the cell for the last time.
When they opened the cell door, what came into the eyes of the three people was a figure with dark circles under his eyes, numb but somewhat excited.
Everything in the room, whether it was the simple bed board or the thin quilt stained with a layer of dirt, seemed to have experienced an earthquake and appeared in places where they should not be.
How to say it?
It is consistent with his mental state on the last night before the trial.
A member of the purge team behind Zhuang Mian thought secretly.
"Captain Zhuang, I have new news to report."
The figure with dark circles under his eyes suddenly said.
"It's useless. Even if you can bite out ten people now, it's too late."
There was no falsehood in Zhuang Mian's attitude; she usually had this serious tone and expression.
“It’s not a report.”
Shi Jin suddenly interrupted Zhuang Mian:
"I seem to have mastered some inexplicable power."
After saying this, Shi Jin slightly arched his body, and a silver light seemed to flash in his eyes.
When the ability was activated, everything around Shi Jin entered slow motion mode, but she knew that this was actually because her reaction speed had increased.
She took big steps forward, feeling the air around her becoming noticeably thicker and the gravity becoming less restraining, like a bird running towards freedom.
In the few hours before Zhuang Mian arrived, she had already begun to master this power of her own under Fran's guidance.
Although there are still situations like being unable to brake, but overall I have a basic grasp of the upper limit and starting method.
Shi Jin could still see the astonishment gradually appearing on Zhuang Mian's face, and the hands of the two purge team members slowly reaching for their waists.
Her ability suddenly activated and stopped, and she crossed half the length of the cell and appeared twenty centimeters in front of Zhuang Mian.
She did not choose to escape, because that would be the worst plan and would definitely lead to the worst outcome.
The mere fact that he used his ability for less than a second was enough to make Shi Jin break out in sweat.
She forced herself to resist the undignified behavior of opening her mouth and breathing heavily, and raised her hands to indicate that she was safe while looking at Zhuang Mian.
The next moment, two black gun barrels were pointing at her head.
"Area B on the first floor needs a lot of reinforcements. Repeat, area B on the first floor needs a lot of reinforcements."
Unlike Zhuang Mian who quickly regained his composure, one of the security guards quickly took out a communicator with his left hand that was not holding the gun and began to contact the outside of the cell area.
"Is this... a superpower?"
Zhuang Mian began his performance, and the expression on his face couldn't be more genuine.
"Yes, when I was sleeping in the middle of the night last night, I suddenly felt a warm current flowing through my body..."
Shi Jin began to tell nonsensical lies, while Zhuang Mian and the other two listened carefully. They had no way to prove that it was false because Shi Jin had already undergone a comprehensive examination when he was arrested.
The only result of the examination was that this was an ordinary human being who was a little sub-healthy and had nothing to do with a super-powered person.
Besides, with the speed that Shi Jin just showed, even if Shengdun himself came, he would need to define a larger area in advance to catch her...
This is enough to prove that the other party was at least an ordinary human being before he was captured by the Ministry of Internal Affairs...
Then just three days later, she became a superpower...
Could it be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs building is really a Feng Shui treasure land?
External support arrived quickly, and forty people blocked the corridor of the cell.
Shi Jin looked at the dark crowd and felt that with such an arrangement he would not be able to escape even if he exerted his abilities to the limit.
Feeling the faint warmth on his wrist, Shi Jin smiled confidently and asked sincerely:
"Captain Zhuang, can this reduce my sentence?"
