After carefully reading the confession of the superpower in front of him, the man in charge of the interrogation nodded and stood up from his chair:
"Please understand that we still need further verification, but we should have results within three days."
Although he had a stern face, he spoke in a gentle tone.
After all, the person in front of him is a super-powered person, and he was only detained for a short time due to procedural issues. There is no need to embarrass him like he does those serious criminals.
Mansheng, whose hands and feet were restrained by shackles, nodded, showing that he fully understood.
Soon, as the interrogators left with the confession, Mansheng was taken back to his own cell.
In order to avoid possible bad results, the five members of the exploration team were detained in five separate areas of the same cell, and all underwent strict searches, leaving no chance for them to collude in their testimony.
This was not the first time the question had been asked. It was now September 22nd, and the team members had been detained for two days. The entire verification process was expected to last about five days.
Their confessions must not only be compared with each other, but also with previous confessions. At least in this respect, Hope City has demonstrated absolute rigor.
Several team members on the other side were still being questioned to varying degrees, while Mansheng was already lying face down on his own single bed.
His eyes slowly closed, and a flickering picture appeared before his eyes.
The surveillance camera on the cell ceiling stared at the creeping things on the bed, but found nothing suspicious.
A few minutes later, this super-powered person who seemed to be dozing off also changed from lying prone to lying flat.
"As expected, the power of one person is not enough..."

Warehouse No. 2, basement of the research institute.
Darkness and silence are the main themes here.
But Fran, hiding in the shadows, could still hear the sound of something being cut or the subtle sound of liquid dripping from time to time.
Along with these sounds, there were also screams and howls that were forcibly suppressed.
The blade in his left hand cut through his skin, leaving a cross-shaped wound.
Then the blade and the little finger began to explore the wound, looking for the possible inhibitor.
After an unknown amount of time, Luke finally found his target. Using his fingers and the blade, he peeled off the soft foreign object from the inside of his skin bit by bit.
After an hour of effort, Luke raised his head again and his body was no longer leaning forward.
At this moment, in his left hand, in addition to a blade that could no longer be held steadily due to the sticky blood, there was also a small flat device.
The thing seemed to be covered with a layer of silicone-like substance on the outside and was about the size of a thumb nail.
It came from the back of Luke's head. According to the mysterious man, this thing was constantly suppressing his original abilities, and it also released some anesthetics to reduce the foreign body sensation.
But the anesthetic effect was only average, and the one-hour independent surgery had left Luke's body drenched in sweat.
Even the dried blood on the gauze at the broken right shoulder was blurred by sweat.
He sat slumped in the narrow cell, with the two things lying quietly in his left hand.
He needs some time to recover his strength, and also needs to wait for the effect of the inhibitor to wear off.
Since peeling that thing off from under his skin, although Luke felt pain, he also felt a sense of relief, as if some invisible burden on his body had indeed disappeared.
Next is recovery and waiting.
Luke had plenty of patience for this.
In the shadows, Fran, who confirmed that the other party was fine and even lifted her own restrictions, quietly turned into a ball of chaos and disappeared into absolute darkness.

Inner city area, directly under the super power base.
During this time, I hope the city is relatively stable, and no new beast waves have appeared since September.
But because this kind of disaster is inherently random, no one dares to take it lightly.
At this moment, except for those teams whose abilities are relatively compatible with certain confidential missions in the city that have been seconded to other institutions, all the remaining super-powered people are in intensive training.
This is their daily life.
In a shooting range, Shi Jin opened the suitcase in front of him with great anticipation and saw the weapons inside that were tailor-made for him.
At first, Ms. [Two-Way Clock] had not decided what kind of customized equipment she wanted to apply for.
But as the training time increased, her shooting skills began to gradually improve.
After all, talented sharpshooters are a minority, and even the sharpshooters in the city defense forces are fed with bullets.
Therefore, when Fresnel and others first learned that Shi Jin's shooting skills were terrible, they did not show any obvious disappointment.
Isn't it normal for an outsider who joins the super-power group halfway through to have such a result?
If this girl, who is not even eighteen years old, could use a gun when she picked it up, then Fresnel would really have doubts.
As her training progressed, Shi Jin's shooting gradually reached average levels, and more importantly, she began to be able to spread her abilities to the surrounding equipment.
At the beginning, when Shi Jin was in the state of [Evanescence], she would also feel the obstruction of her body caused by clothes and air.
This made her often worry about suffocation and other problems at high speeds.
However, the professional assistants sent by the research institute specialized the training direction for Shi Jin, which would eventually allow her to moderately expand her abilities to affect inanimate objects within a close distance around her.
In other words, Shi Jin now does not feel any obvious blockage or suffocation after activating his ability.
Having mastered such new skills, Shi Jin naturally demonstrated the powerful application of his abilities in the new training.
That is - shooting at a moving target.
In actual combat, alien beasts will hardly stand still and allow humans to attack them, and Shi Jin's ability makes those alien beasts that look extremely agile look like animals in a circus.
In the end, she completed the moving target shooting assessment with a full score, and also confirmed her choice of customized weapon.
In the suitcase, two pistols with matte surfaces looked like deep and restrained killers, restraining their murderous intent that was about to erupt.
"This gun is really cool, but I don't think there's any obvious sign of customization..."
Looking at the twin guns that were only slightly different from the usual styles, Beacon raised his doubts.
"That's true. The customization is more reflected in the bullets. Because they are more inclined to assassinate or fight against high-speed moving targets, the power has been greatly improved. The guns are just a little more sophisticated than normal."
