Just as Lin Qingliu was becoming increasingly confused about his current worldview, he suddenly felt a strange wave sweeping through his body.
Like being briefly immersed in cold water, the icy feeling is fleeting.
“What is… happening?”
Lin Qingliu suddenly woke up and immediately activated his ability to bring his physical condition to the best possible level. All his senses were also strengthened to the maximum extent.
Just like that, Lin Qingliu listened to all the sounds around him, and after a few minutes, he lay back down again, full of energy.
It seems... nothing happened.
People in the surrounding two blocks were still sleeping, and there was no sense of anything being wrong.
At the same time, several other people opened their eyes in the darkness.

On the morning of November 1st, the official letter of appointment was sent to the training base for the super-powered people.
After a three-day process, Wang Xiao finally officially became the captain of the Super Power Team. The team has three members under him, namely the former captain Fresnel, the Puppet Master and the Beacon.
Strangely enough, although the team members did not change, after the captain was changed from Fresnel, who could only be on duty half of the day, to Wang Xiao, who could be on duty for 24 hours, the entire team seemed to be more comprehensive.
Fresnel himself especially felt this way. After becoming a team member, the burden on him seemed to be lightened a lot.
Wouldn't it be better if this was done earlier? The old man actually thought I was being bullied here.
Fresnel complained in his heart, then straightened his chest and stood proudly beside Wang Xiao.
He did not feel any jealousy towards this team member he personally recruited. Instead, he hoped that the other party could continue to demonstrate his value.
The external exploration plan has come to a phased end, and the vacancies in the team need to be filled by other teams.
But at this time, Wang Xiao's team was not ranked because of lack of people.
If you want to be reintegrated into the combat sequence, you will need to find suitable team members to supplement the team in the selection process a few days later.
These things that only the captain needed to consider flashed through Fresnel's mind quickly, but he suddenly found that he seemed to have overthought.
He shook his head and laughed at himself. Seeing that the messenger who read the letter of appointment had already walked away, he nudged the new captain beside him with his elbow:
"The new players selection will be held in two days. Have you decided what kind of players to add?"
Wang Xiao shook his head:
"I'm still thinking about it. After all, the detailed files haven't reached me yet."
"That's true, but it may be difficult for us to find someone with similar abilities to 'Blind Eye'. The team's playing style should change."
"Um?"
Wang Xiao turned his head suddenly, feeling that Fresnel's words sounded a bit strange.
"It's been a long time since we started playing with the 'blind eye' style, right?"
He asked with confusion.
"Yeah, so after being short of players for so long, it's time for us to add more players."
"wrong."
Wang Xiao suddenly understood the problem. He looked at Fresnel and asked with a serious expression:
"Isn't Shi Jin considered one of our team members?"
"Which one is Shi Jin?"
Fresnel scratched his curly hair.
At this moment, the vitality stored in Wang Xiao's body began to circulate rapidly. Under his skin, his muscles and organs were constantly strengthening like steel.
If the teammate in front of him continued to show any problems, he would knock him out without hesitation and then report the problem.
Wang Xiao took a step back and looked at the three teammates in front of him. There was a look of confusion on their faces.
"Who did we have dinner with three days ago?"
The three of them looked around and said in unison:
"There are only four of us. There is no one else."
"Who participated in the exploration outside the city?"
"Of course it's just the few of us. Is there something wrong with your brain?"
The puppeteer's words were unpleasant to hear, but they expressed what several people were thinking at the moment.
"Well, in the last selection of new players, we..."
"Didn't we return empty-handed? The ones with strong general-purpose and countermeasure capabilities were all picked up, and we were cursing at the time..."
Wang Xiao tensed his body, but felt something strange in his heart.
Shi Jin, a living person of that age, may have some secrets of his own (such as being able to find strange codes for himself), but he would not disappear completely overnight.
The other party’s files had indeed been taken away by a higher-level agency, but why were there problems with everyone’s memory?
Along with Shi Jin herself disappearing, all traces of her existence also disappeared. How terrible is this?
Looking at the concerned eyes of his teammates around him, Wang Xiao even began to doubt himself.
But soon, he thought of something, something that happened not long ago and was a bit strange.
Last night, he woke up from his sleep.
It felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over me while I was sleeping.
"So...are you okay?"
"Nothing... I didn't sleep well last night. Do you have similar experiences?"
The three of them looked at each other and said that they had slept well.
"Okay, then you guys continue training. I'll go ask for leave and rest in the afternoon."
Wang Xiao said this and walked out of the lounge to ask for leave. He needed a little time to verify his idea.
Looking at the new captain's back as he left, Frenel scratched his head:
"Is he too excited? He can't be really sleep deprived, right? His abilities are not vegetarian."
"But then again, would Wang Xiao, with his ability, really be approved for sick leave..."
“It’s hard to say.”
---
Wang Xiao successfully got sick leave for the second half of the day.
Despite Hope City's uniquely powerful recovery capabilities, the sick leave review system directly under the Superpower Headquarters is impartial.
After all, there are so many different kinds of superpowers, and if they are subdivided, the workload will increase greatly.
Therefore, the regulations have clearly stated that leave will be approved as long as it is not during an emergency task.
As for the fact that Fresnel and the other two were unaware of this, it was simply because they almost never took leave, let alone sick leave.
Wang Xiao, holding the leave note, wandered around the training ground for a long time and chatted with many acquaintances.
In the conversation, he always subconsciously mentioned Shijin, either asking directly or indirectly.
But the result was always the same, no one had ever heard of Shi Jin's name, and it seemed that she had been completely forgotten by Hope City.
Wang Xiao sat on a chair in the lounge, thinking about what he should do next.
It was obviously useless to continue asking ordinary super-powered people.
As for Shi Jin herself, she has no family and there is no way to ask.
Her former co-worker?
That won’t work either. After all, amnesty itself is accompanied by the deletion of files. Even if those people remember, they will only think that Shi Jin has been dead for some time, which will arouse suspicion.
After thinking about it, a candidate suddenly came to Wang Xiao's mind.
