(PS: Let me explain why these two chapters are written this way. This is to give the protagonist a reason to persecute foreigners. The American gold rush persecuted countless people, and many were tricked into becoming slaves. But if we just acted directly like that, some people might criticize us, so we wrote it this way to give him a reason to take action, so that people wouldn't find it nonsensical.)

After leaving the hospital, Wang Han created a shadow clone to buy daily necessities, while his main body went straight to the police station. The events at the hospital had left Wang Han with many questions and doubts, prompting him to come to the police station to check the records and try to clarify whether this world was indeed his original one.
'Martial artists, superhumans, mutated beasts, superheroes—this world still isn't my home!' In the police station, Wang Han looked at the documents in his hand, somewhat melancholy. The police chief and officers stood blankly behind him, answering his questions, doing his orders, and getting whatever he asked for.
The files in Wang Han's hands contained cases related to superhumans, martial artists, or mutated creatures. They also contained information on various superhumans and martial artists—people who weren't hidden away, but rather existed openly in the public eye, even receiving media coverage, and in considerable numbers.
Not only is their existence known to the public, but their privileges are also widely recognized, even acknowledged, and protected by law. This is true not only in the United States but in every country, and it applies universally. This is why the people in the hospital, knowing that he is a martial artist, treat him like a quail, even if he is a foreigner. As long as there is a reason, they can only endure being beaten up every day unless they are killed or maimed. If the martial artist is very powerful, they can only blame themselves for being blind.
Martial artists, ability users, superhumans, and mutated beasts are even categorized into strength levels. These are divided into six levels: street, village, town, city, state, and nation. The differences in strength within each level are significant.
Street level represents an individual's strength that can threaten hundreds or even thousands of people in an entire street or a small community, or even wipe out the entire street or small community. It is also the lowest level, and almost all martial artists are at this level. The threat that firearms can pose to them has been greatly reduced.
At the township level, an individual's strength is enough to pose a significant threat to thousands to tens of thousands of people in a village or a large residential area. Criminals of this level almost always cause considerable casualties and losses. A few of the most elite martial artists are at this level, and firearms are no longer sufficient to deal with them; heavy equipment is required.
At the town level, an individual's strength is enough to wipe out a village, pose a threat to the entire town, and even cause the deaths of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people in a town. Conventional weapons are unlikely to pose a fatal threat to them. Only the military can deal with them.
City-level: Powerful enough to single-handedly confront the military might of an entire city, or even annihilate hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants. To a city, such a person would be a massive boss. However, this city does not have anyone of this level or higher.
State-level, also known as small-country level, refers to individuals capable of destroying a large city with a population of over one million. They possess the military power to confront a state-level region or even some small countries. There are no more than ten people at this level in the entire United States, and some exceptionally powerful individuals even require the use of an atomic bomb to kill.
It's at the national level; there's no information about it here.
To become a martial artist requires years of rigorous training. In battle, one must wear heavy armor, wield sharp weapons, and cooperate with one another. To advance in rank, one must train relentlessly.
Those with superpowers are influenced by luck and are favored by the heavens. Their abilities are diverse, including melee combat, ranged attacks, fire-breathing, water-spitting, support, healing, reconnaissance, defense, and so on. Their advancement methods are also varied, and almost all the strong are superpowered individuals.
The privileges of martial artists and superhumans vary greatly depending on their strength, and because they risk their lives to fight mutated beasts and supervillains, their privileges are also recognized.
Even the lowest-ranking street-level martial artists and superhumans have the right to free medical care, free transportation, free accommodation, priority education for their children, and green channels in any country. They also receive a substantial monthly living allowance from the local police station. More importantly, they have the right to use violence without consequence if they are provoked and are in the right. As long as it doesn't cause serious harm, death, maiming, permanent injury, or severe injury, they will not be held accountable. These rights are universal and recognized by the public in any country. However, there are limits on the number of times and people who can be exempted from liability, and records will be kept.
These privileges are due to the need for these superheroes to fight supervillains and mutant beasts, protect the public, and reduce losses. Therefore, they enjoy priority, free treatment, and subsidies. The last privilege is because powerful people are bound to be arrogant or have strange tempers. This is also to prevent superheroes from being driven to become supervillains if someone provokes them. There have been many similar incidents in the past. However, they also need to report their situation and whereabouts frequently to avoid doing evil, so they are subject to a certain degree of monitoring.
Township-level privileges are even greater. Not only do they receive more subsidies, but they can also get township-level units to cooperate with them and provide assistance. The right to immunity from liability for violence can exempt them from liability for causing serious injury to three or fewer people.
The town government can be exempted from liability for causing the two people to become disabled, can mobilize some of the town's police officers, and can go to the police station to check the information within its authority.
At the city level, one can even be exempted from liability for causing five deaths in a single incident, and can mobilize some of the city's police force, or even an army of a thousand, to assist them.
The privileges of a state are an elevation of those of a city; the army can be mobilized up to 5,000, and under certain circumstances, the state can even be exempted from responsibility for causing fewer than 30 casualties in a single incident.
Information on national-level privileges is still unavailable, but the privileges must be extremely significant.
Another threat is mutated beasts. Mutated beasts are virtually impossible to eradicate. Plants, trees, birds, and beasts can all mutate; every year, a large number of animals and plants mutate, collectively known as mutated beasts. Some mutated beasts are harmless but lack intelligence, while others are incredibly powerful. Every country suffers numerous deaths and injuries annually due to mutated beasts, with incalculable losses. This is another reason why superheroes have special privileges; when mutated beasts appear, they are almost always the ones who fight them, minimizing human casualties and property damage.
In addition, Wang Han also had information on the murder and body-covering incident he committed a few days ago. The investigators were a lightning ability user named Matt and a psychic ability user named Anthony, both of whom were town-level.

"No matter what, I'll go home and check on things after I'm done here." After reviewing the documents, Wang Han decided to go find his family.
