How abilities awaken is a different experience for most people with super powers, but generally speaking, everyone's awakening comes from an opportunity.
According to the institute's theory, this opportunity may be a dramatic emotional fluctuation or a desire for something.
This powerful impact will break through some invisible barrier in the human body, making everything that follows become natural.
The drinking party last night was indeed effective. When everyone's brains were numbed by alcohol, Shi Jin asked this question casually and received different answers from several teammates.
Everyone's awakening was generally consistent with the institute's theory, but no one except themselves had seen a cat that could speak human language.
This is very reasonable, so Shi Jin also intends to selectively tell the truth, but with a little bit of artistic processing.
She didn't think about it for too long, as this would cause Nia in front of her to have unnecessary doubts.
Shi Jin cleared his throat and narrated:
“It was the day before the verdict, and, well, I was so scared I couldn’t sleep.
“I heard that criminals like me would either be forced to work until they died or be shot.
"So my only fantasy at that time was to be able to react faster and dodge the bullet..."
Nia, who was walking in front, couldn't help but exclaimed:
"What a bold idea..."
Shi Jin continued:
"Later, half asleep and half awake, I felt as if something was different inside my body, and the feeling became stronger and stronger until I woke up.
"Later, I found that I had awakened my abilities."
“Interesting experience.”
Nia's tone remained calm, and it was unclear whether she noticed the small part that Shi Jin had concealed.
The two walked to the wall at the end of the underground chemical plant. A big door slowly opened on the concrete wall. Nia strode in, followed closely by Shi Jin.
The thick concrete wall seems to divide two completely different worlds.
The area behind the wall has a fantastical, unreal beauty.
Growing up in Hope City, Shi Jin has seen many common buildings and knows that bricks, stones and concrete are normal materials.
But everything before her eyes obviously exceeded her imagination. The corridor behind the wall was built with unknown materials, but both the walls and the floor had a refined feeling.
The light strip continued to extend, but it looked brighter than before.
For the first time in his life, Shi Jin actually began to worry whether he would dirty the ground.
Nia, who was walking in front, slowly took off her hood and gathered her long hair on both sides to the back of her head.
"This is the central spire. To be more precise, this is a branch corridor of the spire."
Even as a member of parliament, even with some authority to manipulate, Nia could not help but feel awe for the central spire.
This is not only due to the technology that he cannot understand, but also due to its exquisite structural design, as if everything here is perfect and it is a paradise that conforms to all human fantasies.
"From today on, you are no longer a member of the direct superpower team, your file will be taken away, and your past will be erased.
"Superpower Shi Jin, you are now a commissioner under Councillor Nia, and your duty is to obey all my orders. Do you understand?"
Shi Jin walked in a long corridor that seemed to have no end. Nia's words lingered in her ears, making her feel as if the world was upside down.
The talking cat, the running tree, the spire that seemed like heaven on earth... everything was destroying her already fragile worldview.
An instinctive human desire for knowledge arose in Shi Jin's heart. She wanted to know the follow-up of these things and wanted to participate in it personally.
She felt that she was no longer an employee following Fran's orders, but really wanted to continue this job from the bottom of her heart.
"Okay, I understand."
Her tone was firm, and there was no trace of confusion in her eyes.
"Very good. Now I will give you your first task - find a person named Luke, dead or alive."

"Fight! Fight!"
“Hahahahahahaha!”
"Can you please stop making things more complicated? I'm still recording."
On the northwest wall of Hope City, several soldiers were shouting.
This small group of soldiers is currently carrying out an unprecedented exploratory mission, the targets of which are several... strange beasts that seem to be able to speak human language.
There are a total of five strange beasts outside the city wall, four of which are not small in size, and one is almost invisible without a telescope.
They resolutely turned against the humans during the recent beast tide, helped them kill many of their own kind, and then raised the banner of their desire to surrender.
This is the most difficult part of the whole thing to understand, because the so-called flag-raising is not rhetoric, but the other party’s real practice——
They actually held up banners to indicate that they were here to surrender, and did so openly in front of thousands of city defense troops and dozens of super-powered people.
This outrageous matter was soon presented to the parliamentarians.
After the emergency meeting, the congressmen proposed the following solution:
Test the other party's friendliness little by little. If basic communication can be established and intelligence can be obtained, draw clear red lines and kill them immediately if they cross the line.
Then this task was assigned to this team.
In the past few hours, they have used special equipment to throw a number of nutrient pastes into the designated red line areas, some of which have been unpacked in advance and some have not.
This is also a means and method to test intelligence.
The performance of these strange beasts is indeed worthy of extensive recording.
First, after firing a round of weapons on the city wall, they quickly understood the meaning of the red line.
When throwing food, the people on the city wall consciously threw some of the nutritional paste within the red line, but no strange beast chose to cross the line.
They only collect food that has crossed the line, and even exhibit behaviors similar to distribution.
This is enough to show that the other party has basic thinking ability, which is completely different from those strange beasts that only know how to tear humans apart.
Although basic communication had not yet been established, the people on the wall believed that it was not far away.
As for the so-called fight... the soldier in charge of observation discovered that two of the three wolves' heads were biting each other.
"So, even though it has three heads, it should only have one... uh, digestive system?"
"It should be."
"Then why fight? It doesn't matter who eats it."
The soldier in charge of recording looked up at his confused companion:
"I don't think we have the ability or need to understand the minds of alien beasts."
