Chapter 69 My City
"Pack your things now, we are moving in a few days." I said to Zhong Mengfan.
"Well, why are you moving so suddenly?"
"This apartment is incredibly close to the superhero headquarters. Not only are there many powerful professional heroes stationed here on a rotating basis, but there are also psychics like me who buy homes here for convenience. This area is arguably the safest and lowest crime rate in the city. However, as a rising psychic, the more you stay in a comfortable environment like this, the less chance you have of improving your abilities."
"We're moving to a designated area that you'll be responsible for starting as a C-rank Pro Hero." I opened the map on the communicator and pointed to a location. "This is the place I've chosen for you."
He looked at the place I pointed at and asked, "Will I be assigned to a community like Xiao Xingyun and be responsible for the security of that community?"
“It’s not an area, it’s a city.”
I tapped my finger on the map, drawing a circle around the center. The area I'd circled began to zoom in, and a 3D city map appeared at the top of the communicator's screen.
"This place is really far away from where we live now."
"Silver Ring City isn't a bustling metropolis, but I think it would suit you perfectly. In this city, become its superhero."
"Wow, it's huge."
"A D-class hero is responsible for a single neighborhood. Starting from C-class, they take on an entire city, becoming its protector. Of course, there will also be other D-class heroes, each responsible for their own neighborhoods."
"So I'll be working with the other heroes here on missions and stuff?"
"Occasionally, you should have heard about his work from Xiao Xingyun. The responsibilities of a D-class hero are mainly to deal with ordinary criminals without superpowers.
Starting at C-rank, you'll assist the police in cracking down on cases involving potential psychics. Because you're uncertain whether the suspect in the case possesses psychics, and often lack true information about the antagonist, the missions are much more difficult and dangerous.
Zhong Mengfan looked at the 3D map carefully. "Is this the place I want to protect? I will show what a professional hero should be like - fighting crime and upholding justice!"
He appeared to be very energetic and motivated, but his words were a little immature.
I corrected him, "It's within your capabilities to assist the local police in maintaining public order. In fact, when it comes to handling and solving crimes, the police are more professional than us. When we get there, we'll first go to the local police station and meet with the person in charge. There will be many opportunities to cooperate with them in the future."
Police Station
We met our old acquaintance, Officer Zhang, at the police station.
I smiled and said, "Officer Zhang, long time no see. Sorry, I spoke too quickly. I should have called you Director Zhang. Congratulations on your promotion."
He was obviously surprised to see Zhong Mengfan and me. "I didn't expect to meet you here at the police station. So, you are the superhero in charge of this city. No, I remember you were an A-level mutant a long time ago." After saying that, he turned his gaze to Zhong Mengfan.
"Yes, he's the superhero stationed in the city this time." I patted Zhong Mengfan's shoulder. "C-class hero, Link."
"Hello, Director Zhang!"
"Well, I remember you, the boy who came to the police station with Night Demon last time. I never thought that you, at such a young age, are already a C-rank psychic."
"Ah, I passed the C-level professional hero exam not long ago." Zhong Mengfan smiled.
"Your growth rate is truly remarkable. You are worthy of being Night Demon's apprentice. Let me formally introduce myself, Link. My name is Zhang Yanliang, and I am currently the director here."
The other party's serious self-introduction made Zhong Mengfan stand up straight. "Thank you for the compliment, Director Zhang."
Zhang Yanliang reached out and shook Zhong Mengfan's hand. "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"I think you should also know some of the situations in the Yinhuan District. The public security situation here is not very good. In fact, I was just transferred here not long ago. The police station already has a backlog of cases, and there are several more unsolved cases that have been added since I took office. It's really a headache." Zhang Yanliang sighed.
Zhong Mengfan took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything we can help with?"
"Of course, of course." Zhang Yanliang took out several files from the drawer.
"These are a few unusual cases I've noticed since arriving here. Strictly speaking, they can't really be considered cases. The reason is that the files only mention the deceased, not the murderer.
