"Okay, I understand."
The police captain looked up at Su Lin and pushed the record on the table: "Take a look, sign it, and then Xiao Xu will take him to the household registration department."
"What else are you taking me to do?"
Su Lin stood up, feigning ignorance. The captain smiled and said, "We'll register your household and issue you a superpower certificate... Well, your problem is rather complicated. You can't leave this city for the next two weeks."
"Don't blame me for being harsh, I'm just acting according to the law... Anyway, you came to the city to find a job, and you also want to develop your family's small business, right?"
The captain quipped, "You look young, but you know quite a few words."
“We just wrote it down after hearing it from others; my cousin said that this way we would sound impressive when introducing ourselves and find jobs more easily.”
Su Lin answered calmly, signed the papers, and followed the policewoman out of the room with a natural expression.
Not long after he left, Su Lin could still faintly hear the captain's instructions and admonitions from inside the room.
"...Keep an eye on them. There's not a trace of anything, they seem more complicated than they appear."
"Captain, you still doubt them? I see nothing wrong with them, and it seems the higher-ups have already taken notice of Jia Zhengyi."
"...It's hard to say. Just keep an eye on it for now. When the higher-ups come, someone else will take over and conduct further inspections. Then we won't have to worry about it anymore."
Su Lin paused for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly resumed his normal pace.
It sounds like Jia Zhengyi did something that caught the attention of these NPCs.
Su Lin is still unaware of the specifics, as the three of them were questioned separately and unable to meet to exchange information.
However, he soon met Xiao Linlin and Jia Zhengyi. All three of them were taken to the household registration department, where the police officers registered them in turn, issued them superhuman certificates (ID cards), gave them some instructions, and also gave them a special booklet for unregistered persons.
This little notebook records some common sense and rules for city life, as well as places to find work and phone numbers for help; it's like a semi-literacy manual.
The three cooperated fully, staying with the NPCs until late into the night before they were finally able to leave the police station.
They remained silent the entire way, all three being extremely cautious and not exchanging a single word.
Back in the hotel, Jia Zhengyi finally let out a long sigh of relief, lying completely relaxed on the bed and lamenting, "Damn it, I'm exhausted! Don't let me find out who's behind this, or I'll show you what Grandpa Jia can do!"
"That's right! That's right!"
Xiao Linlin nodded vigorously, agreeing but also asking Su Lin with concern, "Brother, those guys didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
"No, I did as you said."
Su Lin shook his head; the two understood each other well enough that they didn't need to discuss any further details.
Half of their success in leaving the police station was thanks to Xiao Linlin; her advance planning and attention to detail ensured their smooth passage.
"This happened very suddenly, which shows that there are quite a few capable people in D-1 area. Some players are already enough to cause us trouble."
Xiao Linlin sat in the chair, thinking seriously: "Although we can't be sure who is behind this yet, what happened tonight may not all be bad."
"At least, we got this."
Xiao Linlin waved her superhuman ID card at the two of them. Her ID card was marked with a "C", indicating that she had been initially rated as a C-level superhuman.
According to Jia Zhengyi, there was something similar in his own world. Su Lin and Xiao Linlin had long understood the importance of this thing. It not only served as proof of identity, but also greatly affected the social status and job requirements of a person with superpowers.
Simply put, this thing is like an ID card + a graduation certificate level, and it has many other functions as well.
"With it, at least in the eyes of the NPCs, we are considered one of their own, not just pure players."
Xiao Linlin was bold enough to discuss these topics in the hotel. Firstly, she had Jia Zhengyi, her "radar," by her side, and secondly, her trip to the police station had given her a deeper understanding of the supernatural world, allowing her to know when to speak and when not to.
"Compared to most players who are still unregistered, we have already cleared our names to a certain extent and gained some benefits, as well as some opportunities to take advantage of our position."
As Xiao Linlin was earnestly analyzing the current situation for Su Lin, Jia Zhengyi lazily sat up from the bed next to her, rolled his eyes and retorted: "Come on, what good can this thing do? It's just a shackle."
“I remember telling you guys that this thing is very likely to have a surveillance effect. If we do anything out of line, the police will know immediately.”
This is where the superpowered society is superior to the normal technological society; it is more comprehensive and has greater control in certain details.
Given Jia Zhengyi's personality, he naturally wouldn't like carrying around a monitoring device that could detect his dangerous behavior.
But Xiao Linlin didn't see it that way. She smiled and said, "So you're so silly. Everything has two sides. Since it has a detection effect, can't it detect not only our personal behavior but also the people around us?"
"Of course! Otherwise, do you think these NPCs could find us so quickly?"
Jia Zhengyi said lazily, "Once we step onto the street, every single superhuman becomes a mobile surveillance camera. If we commit any serious illegal acts... Hmm? Wait! I know what you mean!"
Jia Zhengyi suddenly sat up straight, staring intently at Xiao Linlin: "It can monitor us! It can also become our weapon!"
"With it around, if any player opposes us, they will most likely violate the laws of the supernatural society!"
"Damn it! You're using someone else to do your dirty work!"
Jia Zhengyi was shocked. How could this little girl's brain be so clever and efficient?
"Smack."
Xiao Linlin snapped her fingers and corrected with a smile: "You only got half right... This isn't using someone else to do your dirty work, it's taking advantage of the situation and making full use of the strongest cheating methods that the mechanism originally provided to each player."
