Chapter 2 Submitting Superpowers
After Li Xiaogou took off his coat, he hid in the dark alley of the hotel, and the night wind blew up the strands of hair on his forehead.
The night wind blew and he sneezed, but he soon fell dormant again, staring deeply at the direction of the hotel entrance.
Five minutes later, Huang Binhai's first lover arrived. Her face couldn't be seen clearly because she was wearing a mask. All that could be seen was a tattoo of a triangular snake ring on her wrist.
Quite trendy.
Then the second and third people arrived, and soon everyone was there.
Li Xiaogou's eyes kept wandering between Huang Binhai's door and the hotel entrance.
Why haven’t you come yet?
Isn't this police station just a mere decoration?
Five minutes later, the police car with the same blue and white color scheme as in the previous life finally appeared.
"Huatai City Yunqing District Police Department is investigating the case."
"Someone has reported a group orgy in room 413. Please cooperate with the police investigation."
The property manager, wearing a military green coat, rummaged through the drawer with sleepy eyes and soon found the door card.
Watching the property management bringing the police upstairs, Li Xiaogou, who had already merged into the darkness, slowly curled the corners of his lips.
Listening to the screams coming from upstairs, the sounds of doors opening one after another from other residents who were awakened, and then more screams, he smiled and drove a shared bicycle.
He sat on the shared bicycle with his long legs, picked up his mobile phone to search for the location of the rental house, glanced at it inadvertently, and then paused.
In the twilight, a pitch-black car stopped outside the hotel.
He couldn't see what was happening inside the car from the outside, but he could feel that someone in the car was watching him quietly, just like he was observing Huang Binhai's every move, and seeing through him.
Get out of here!
Instinct drove Li Xiaogou to escape from here quickly.
However, at this moment, the pure black car window slowly lowered.
The first thing Li Xiaogou saw was a pair of hawk-like eyes, full of inquiry, which seemed to be able to see through him in an instant.
The aggressive gaze from the male was still as powerful as ever even across the street. He subconsciously leaned back but found that his whole body was frozen and he couldn't move at all.
Thump, thump, thump—my heart almost jumped out of my chest.
However, the next moment, a scene appeared that subverted his three views even more.
The man's deep pupils suddenly spread out and turned into a ball of blood mist. The blood mist condensed into a vortex on the iris, and finally gathered together, gradually returning to its original appearance.
Li Xiaogou's body was able to move at this time, and he fled the scene on his bike without saying a word.
Not until his back disappeared from the alley did the window slowly roll up again.
The man who had been staring at Li Xiaogou for a long time looked away, closed his eyes, and gently pressed his thumb between his eyebrows: "Did you read his heart?"
The young man sitting in the passenger seat half turned around, an apologetic look appearing on his handsome face: "Sorry."
The round-faced boy in the driver's seat widened his eyes. "Even Jiang Mu's mind-reading ability couldn't read it. Could it be that the man has a defensive ability? Boss, are we really not going to chase him?"
"That's not the case." Jiang Mu said, "I read his thoughts, but I couldn't hear them clearly."
"Thirty meters isn't far...it's within the range of your ability."
Jiang Mu looked at the man in the back seat with a puzzled expression: "I couldn't hear clearly because his inner voice was drowned out by the screams, the screams of so many people."
"It's hard to imagine how anyone can maintain sanity with so much noise in their head."
"There are indeed some suspicious things about him. Perhaps we should give chase."
"No need, he is not a person with super powers." Jiang Mu's proposal was rejected by one vote.
Yunlou opened his eyes, his tired expression vanishing. He said calmly, "Don't forget that your mission today is to capture the escaped mutant."
The two people in the front row looked at each other at the same time: "Yes!"
Yunlou's gaze pierced through the glass and looked at the place where the boy had just been. From his appearance to his clothes, the boy was clean and harmless, like an innocent college student. He had no special abilities, but he must be hiding a secret.

Li Xiaogou rode back to his residence in one breath.
The attic, which is less than 20 square meters, is adjacent to the old town area in the bustling city center. By opening the window, you can take in the prosperous night view of Huatai City.
The rent for a place like this that could be demolished at any time would naturally not be high, but after opening the door, Li Xiaogou had a more thorough understanding of his poverty.
The only electrical appliance in the house was a kettle, and there was a big hole in the window facing the bed, with wind blowing in.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the temperature in the room was too low or his heart was cold.
"Is there a possibility that the original body is actually the real young master of a mysterious family?"
System: "...There is absolutely no such possibility."
“Everything is under control.”
System: "Not for a little."
Gu~
The rumbling of my stomach was deafening.
Forget it, let’s fill our stomach first.
After searching inch by inch, he finally found three packets of instant noodles under the bed.
Boil water and make instant noodles, the aroma soon fills the house.
Just as he was about to slurp some noodles, he felt an itch on his ankle. He lowered his eyes and saw a small black, furry creature looking up at him.
…
The original body actually had a little black dog.
“I can’t even support myself.”
Despite all the complaints, Li Xiaogou consciously gave up the only remaining sausage, only to find that the little black dog's food bowl was already full.
"That's good for you."
After rubbing the little black dog's head, Li Xiaogou finished his first dinner since coming to this world with its company.
After eating and drinking, and wrapping himself in a fleece jacket, he held the dog and began to sort out the current situation.
[The mysterious man is called Yunlou, the captain of the first team of the Special Case Investigation Bureau, 27 years old, and possesses some special abilities.]
"There's a Special Case Investigation Bureau in this world? Also, what kind of special ability is that?"
[The host's current level of melon-eating is not high enough. The greater the influence on the world line, the less information this system can read.]
"The captain of the Special Investigation Bureau's First Division... could he be the World Destroyer?"
[Impossible.] The system replied decisively, [This system cannot interpret any information about the World Destroyer.]
The man named Yunlou did not catch up, which means that what the system said about [successfully resisting supernatural attacks] was not bragging.
Since he knew the other party's background and the other party couldn't see through him... a bold idea emerged in his mind.
——If you want to find the person who destroyed the world, the special intelligence department is the fastest channel.
"I want to join this special intelligence department." Li Xiaogou informed the system of his plan.
[This is indeed a good choice, but that man has a dangerous secret that even this commander is very wary of. Perhaps everyone in the Special Investigation Bureau is like this. How does the host plan to join?]
The system did not wait for Li Xiaogou's answer. Li Xiaogou just smiled faintly. For some reason, that smile made the system feel uneasy.

The police in this world are very efficient, and the public is even more gossipy.
That night, when Li Xiaogou was watching short videos, he had already seen Huang Binhai being escorted into a police car, followed by four good-looking teenagers.
Judging from the reactions in the comment section, one of the four people is an internet celebrity with quite a few fans.
The resident living next door to Huang Binhai took advantage of the chaos to secretly take two photos of the situation in Huang Binhai's room, and the eye-catching videos played on TV were also recorded.
The Internet was extremely lively that night. When Li Xiaogou woke up in the morning, the rumor had developed to the point that Huang Binhai had given up two top stars in the police station.
No matter which parallel universe, the story-telling ability of the general public cannot be underestimated.
Just as I was complaining, a window suddenly popped up in front of me:
[Three-star Black Melon [Entertainment Circle Teddy] has been included, Melon Energy Value +500 (Newbie rewards doubled).]
[The current melon energy value is 0/10000. The maximum number of people who can eat melon per day is 2, the maximum number of times you can eat melon is 3, and the maximum number of melon types you can eat is 2.]
Melons are divided into five star levels, and three stars is considered a fairly large melon.
He didn't expect to achieve such a result for the first time. The system upgrade will be more beneficial to his actions today.
Li Xiaogou quickly washed up, put on yesterday's clothes, patted the dog's head and said, "I'll go earn some food for you."
According to the information he got from the Chigua system, he rode a shared bicycle for two and a half hours and finally arrived under an abandoned overpass in Yunqing District, Huatai City.
It is said that a homeless man once saw a car hit a bridge pier here and then disappeared out of thin air. After that, this place was covered with graffiti by naughty children who came here to test their courage.
After a series of strange events such as the mysterious disappearance of a midnight bus and the disappearance of a girl in white who jumped off a bridge, even the people who came to test their courage disappeared, and the place gradually became desolate as it is today.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Li Xiaogou asked the system.
[That’s right.]
All right. Li Xiaogou stretched his muscles and then began punching and kicking the bridge pier.

At the same time.
Tao Qi had just received the case file from the police station. He shouted "How vulgar" in his heart and ran quickly to Yunlou's office.
"Is there something urgent?" Yunlou glanced at Tao Qi's round face which was still flushed.
Tao Qi cleared his throat and straightened his back. "Captain, the escaped mutant we captured last night has confessed."
Yunlou took the case file and his brows furrowed more and more as he read it.
Tao Qi added the off-site information seriously and responsibly: "I heard from the police that when they arrived at the scene, four young men were whipping the old man. The old man was covered in blood marks..."
Yunlou raised his eyes.
Tao Qi paused. "Ahem, they found over 100 videotapes in the room, over 80 of which were secretly filmed, and some involved criminal cases of rape and sexual assault of minors."
"Because hotel staff were there when the doors opened, word of the incident spread quickly. Plus, those involved were all from the entertainment industry. Even though the police were trying to minimize the impact, the news still spread like wildfire."
Tao Qi curled his lips and said, "These people can earn 10 years' wages for ordinary people in a day, but they don't know how to keep themselves clean. They deserve to be drowned in spit now!"
Knock knock.
Yunlou tapped the table twice with the knuckle of his index finger.
"Normal criminal cases are not within our jurisdiction."
Tao Qi stuck out his tongue. "I'm just speechless. The escaped superpowers we captured before were all desperate criminals. The worst ones were whitewashed and became business celebrities. This one actually showed up to be exploited by that old man. I don't know what he's after."
"Didn't you ask his intentions?"
"I asked him, and he insisted that he had dreamed of becoming a star since he was a child, and he also has a fetish for older people."
"..." Yunlou hesitated for a second, "Continue to investigate his network of relationships and find out his true intentions."
"yes!"
Tao Qi walked to the door and was stopped again.
"Have you found out the identity of the young man at the hotel entrance last night?"
Tao Qi scratched the back of his head. "Not yet. That guy is quite cunning. After leaving, he kept sneaking into alleys with no surveillance. We need to continue expanding the search radius. It will take some time."
Yunlou nodded to indicate that he understood.
Just as Tao Qi was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Jiang Mu pushed the door open and came in. Qingya's face showed a rare emotion: "We found the boy from last night!"
Tao Qi: “!”
Jiang Mu: "Actually, we didn't find him. He showed up on his own..."
"Ten minutes ago, the logistics department said someone was beating people up in the bridge tunnel and rapping towards the hidden camera. They asked me to go out and take a look."
Jiang Mu swallowed hard, still in shock. "As soon as he saw me, he accurately told me my name and even knew I came out through the back door... He said, he said he would hand his ability over to the Special Investigation Bureau!"
