Si Mingyu had just finished class when he received Luo Jinghui's call. The caller was waiting for him two blocks outside the school. Just a few hundred meters outside the school gate, he saw Luo Jinghui's car: a rather ordinary Hongqi H5.
"Go to the back seat." He was stopped by Luo Jinghui just as he opened the passenger door.
Yi Yan went to the back seat and found a black travel bag inside.
"There are clothes inside, change into them." Luo Jinghui said as he started the car.
Si Mingyu opened it and saw a black combat uniform inside. He changed into it as he was told. It fit him well, apparently made to his size.
"Put on the hood too." Luo Jinghui said after looking in the rearview mirror.
After putting on the hood and helmet, no one could recognize him.
"Where are we going?" Si Mingyu was very curious. After all, it must be something important if it was packed so tightly.
"Let me show you the real world of superpowers."
"You don't have to dress like this, right?" Why be so exaggerated on your own turf?
"Your identity needs to be kept confidential. Even in the company, no one else knows it except me, Jiang Xueyi, Pei Songqiang and the office." Luo Jinghui explained.
"What's there to keep secret? Don't say you don't know about Master Dong. He showed up at the hotel as my fitness coach, and if someone is interested, they'll find out about his original identity." Si Mingyu felt that the company's arrangements were full of loopholes.
"How can we check? The person who won first place in the military competition has a different name, appearance and age from your fitness coach Master Dong. What can we find out by checking?" Luo Jinghui asked back.
"Master Dong wouldn't lie to me, would he?" After hearing what he said, Si Mingyu was a little unsure.
"He didn't lie to you. As for how to prevent people from finding out, they have their own ways."
"When we get here, just call me Minister Luo. The company has given you a code name: Sikong Zhen."
"Minister Luo, the people in the company must play a lot of games in their spare time." Jiang Xueyi uses the Genshin Impact character avatar on WeChat, and Luo Jinghui gave himself the code name of Honor of Kings. He is a middle-aged internet addict in the company.
"Isn't it much easier to use characters in mobile games? How about changing it to one from League of Legends?" It can be changed if it hasn't been decided yet.
"Let's just use this one, don't change it." Since it's just a code name, it doesn't matter.
"I'll take this opportunity to briefly tell you about the situation in the world of supernatural powers." Since Si Mingyu agreed, Luo Jinghui started to talk about business.
"People with supernatural powers have existed since ancient times. For example, the historical records show that the Overlord of Western Chu possessed immense strength, a physical enhancement ability. The magician Merlin, recorded in the British language, was probably a telekinetic ability. The Snow Woman, recorded in the book, possessed an advanced water ability. In short, many strange events in history were caused by people with supernatural powers."
"Then those martial arts novels in our country that describe things like light skills are also supernatural powers?" Si Mingyu felt that his understanding had been overturned.
"Martial arts are not superpowers. It's just that some martial artists with superpowers are more powerful than those without. Ordinary martial artists can only jump one or two meters high on the spot. People with the superpower of lightness can jump more than ten meters. Isn't this called lightness skill? Otherwise, why are there such exaggerated legends about lightness skills but no one has mastered it now? It's because people with superpowers in ancient times didn't know that these were superpowers at all. They thought they were innate talents and advertised them to everyone they met." Luo Jinghui explained.
"Due to the limitations of ancient technology and cognition, the mighty Overlord of Western Chu was invincible, Merlin, who could manipulate objects with his telekinesis, was worshipped, and the Snow Woman was classified as a monster. But today, even an Overlord couldn't stop a bullet, and a great magician couldn't withstand a cannon."
"Then wouldn't those of us with special abilities who rely mainly on lethality be useless?" Si Mingyu asked.
However, he felt that if this were the case, he would not be valued by the company.
"Because people with special abilities are no different from ordinary people when they are not using their abilities, even when they are using them, they cannot be detected unless using large professional equipment. Therefore, many of the things we do cannot be verified."
"Let me give you an exaggerated example: at a large gathering, a telekinetic person could kill someone on stage in front of dozens of cameras and tens of thousands of people without being detected, regardless of whether the person's last name was Joseph or Nancy. Since there's currently no evidence for this kind of thing, no country can blame their own country for the presence of a few foreigners at the gathering."
"Minister Luo, people with superpowers are as scary as you said. If someone has the superpowers of Professor Charles in "X-Men", wouldn't he be able to rule the world?" Si Mingyu immediately thought of the key point.
"According to various sources, there is no such supernatural power as mind control, because human thought activities are too complicated and no one can do it." Luo Jinghui dispelled Si Mingyu's worries.
After a pause, Luo Jinghui continued, "So important personnel are surrounded by people with special abilities to protect them. Currently, all known special abilities can be defended against. With the help of security personnel, there will basically be no problem."
The car drove towards the suburbs. When passing through an uninhabited forest, the license plate suddenly flipped and became a military license plate. After driving along the road for about another hour, we arrived at a military camp.
The sentry politely stopped the car, checked the documents and called to verify, then let the car park in the parking lot next to the gate. Then two soldiers took the car to a huge warehouse.
"Report! The person has been brought here." A soldier leading the way saluted and said loudly.
"Thank you for your hard work." A middle-aged man in combat uniform at the door returned the greeting.
"Minister Luo!" The middle-aged man saluted Luo Jinghui again.
Luo Jinghui returned the greeting and introduced him to Si Mingyu: "This is Cheng Yuanzheng, the team leader of the company's security department. Let's go in."
This warehouse is about half the size of a football field and is actually a training ground. It is said that the reason it is indoors is to block satellite detection.
Cheng Yuanzheng's security team consists of twenty people, including him, and they are extremely well-equipped.
Combat uniforms, body armor, helmets, and personal computers were standard equipment. The primary weapon was a QBZ191 automatic rifle, and the secondary weapon was a 92A pistol. In addition, each soldier carried either a 120mm rocket launcher or a quadcopter drone.
"There are very few people with superpowers in the world, and even fewer whose abilities are useful, so they will not be consumed on the front battlefield." Luo Jinghui said, pointing at the security guards.
"Most people with special abilities operate in the city and carry out special missions. However, there are also some with powerful abilities who do not belong to any country, and they are even more dangerous. The company's security department is designed to deal with these people. These professionals have been trained to fight against people with special abilities and are equipped with a lot of professional equipment. Let me demonstrate it to you."
