Chapter 25 He is just an ordinary person
“Ah, because Japan originally consisted of four large islands and some small islands. They did not split apart during the Great Collapse, and they were very close to each other, which was equivalent to the whole of Japan floating up, so the names of those islands were directly used as Japanese Islands.
After all, it is because of its small land area that it was less affected by the Great Collapse. The book says that Japan was a huge population center second only to China, but it did not spread all over the world like China, so its influence on a global scale was weaker than that of China.
Even now, some historians believe that if the Japanese leaders had handled it properly, the 'Japanese miracle' might have replaced the 'Chinese miracle'," Xia Xiaoyu explained.
“Interesting.”
Su Ming nodded, thinking that he should find some time to read the history books of this world. It seemed quite interesting to listen to Xia Xiaoyu's explanation of the history of the Great Collapse.
After Xia Xiaoyu explained the prefix problem of the Japanese Investigation Bureau, she returned to the topic and told Su Ming about the architectural structure problem of the Investigation Bureau 7.
The layout of the Investigation Bureau 7 can be roughly divided into five areas. The underground space in each area has different functions. For example, the area under Su Ming's feet is usually used for office and training.
The two chatted as they walked. Under Sylvie's guidance, Su Ming went through the process very quickly. After a while, he was only left with the last step.
As long as he completes this step, Su Ming will become a glorious investigator and officially embark on the road to becoming stronger!
"Xylvie, is this the new person you brought?"
A lazy voice came from the side.
Su Ming frowned slightly and turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from. This voice made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Not far away, a middle-aged man and five other people walked towards this side.
The other person had droopy eyelids, a cold and expressionless face, blue stubble on his chin, and his uniform had not been washed for a long time - he was a sloppy middle-aged man.
Su Ming stared at the other person and labeled him in his mind: this person seems decadent and lazy on the surface, but is actually smart and cunning; he and Sylvie are colleagues and at the same level, so there may be some kind of competitive relationship between them.
There must be a conflict between the two of them, and they don't get along with each other, and his hostility towards Sylvie seems to be about to spread to him.
He appeared here at this time, most likely to cause trouble.
"Zhang Tianxiao, are you so free? That's rare." Sylvie said with a smile.
"I heard that you found a new person, so I came to see. Since Ye Xing's death, you haven't recruited a new person for half a year. I heard that he was the one who killed the Subway Stalker, is it true?" Zhang Tianxiao's eyes fell on Su Ming.
"It's true." Sylvie answered, then looked at Su Ming, "Right?"
"Of course." Su Ming nodded.
Although he didn't kill the hunter by himself, he couldn't lose the situation now, so he had to pretend to be awesome even if he had to lie.
Su Ming saw the middle-aged man's mouth twitching, it seemed that the other party did not believe it.
"It's true, then he might be stronger than Ye Xing. Let's see how strong your abnormality is. I'm really curious." Zhang Tianxiao said.
Sylvie: “Is it necessary?”
"Are you so confident that you found the right person? Just based on what he said in front of the camera?"
After a few seconds of silence, Sylvie agreed: "Okay, I also want to know how great Su Ming's potential is. The abnormality will have to be tested sooner or later, and it will save time to test it now...Su Ming, come with me."
Su Ming followed Sylvie, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
The subway stalker he killed seemed to be a very powerful monster. From the words of these people, it can be inferred that no one has been able to kill the stalker yet, so the stalker should be a very dangerous and powerful monster. After killing the stalker, he should be equally powerful in their eyes.
But... these people's attitude towards him was not as respectful as that towards a peerless powerful person, especially the questioning tone of this man. It didn't feel at all that the Investigation Bureau was determined to win him over, as if his joining the Investigation Bureau was just icing on the cake and would not bring any huge value.
"Why is that guy so attitude? The subway stalker I killed should be very strong, right?" Su Ming asked Xia Xiaoyu beside him.
"It is very powerful, but the hunter will choose its prey. According to previous investigations, only those who can enter that different space are 'targets that can be killed by the subway hunter'. Therefore, even if someone who is too powerful wants to kill the subway hunter, he will have no chance at all." Xia Xiaoyu replied.
"Then how can I kill the hunter?" Su Ming frowned.
Xia Xiaoyu pondered for a while, shrugged, and said casually: "Uh... I don't know, maybe because you are a genius?"
Su Ming nodded slightly, thinking that he did not join the Investigation Bureau as a top combat force, but as a talented employee.
"Okay, I get it. What is abnormality?"
"The more one deviates from humans, the more abnormal one is. Ordinary people may not be abnormal, but every person with special abilities is abnormal. In most cases, the higher the value of the abnormality, the stronger the person's special ability is.
In addition, the abnormal value can also reflect the resistance to superpowers to a certain extent. Generally, the higher the abnormal value, the stronger the resistance to superpowers.
So you don't have to worry at all, your qualifications are guaranteed, because so far, you are the only one who can see me, your abnormality must be ridiculously strong! "Xia Xiaoyu said.
Sylvie took him to a room, and Zhang Tianxiao and others also came in.
The room was very empty. In the center was an egg with a large screen hanging above it. Sylvie raised her chin towards the egg and said, "Put your hand on it."
Su Ming walked forward and placed his hand on the egg.
The room was silent, without any sound.
Su Ming stood there silently for a few seconds, then turned to look at Sylvie, and found that she was staring at the screen above with a puzzled look on her face, and the others were doing the same.
Even Zhang Tianxiao and his subordinates looked confused.
Su Ming followed their gaze upwards and saw a huge number displayed on the screen - 0!
"What does this mean?" Su Ming asked Xia Xiaoyu.
"This... this is unscientific! How could your abnormality be zero!" Xia Xiaoyu said in surprise.
"What does 0... stand for?"
"A completely normal person."
Su Ming looked at the duck eggs above his head with mixed feelings.
Frankly speaking, he was looking forward to the results of the test. After all, he possessed the so-called super S-level supernatural power, but even if his qualifications were average, he could accept it.
But... a score of zero is a bit exaggerated, isn't it? He is a person with supernatural powers.
"Xylvie, you seem to have found the wrong person." Zhang Tianxiao said with a smile.
"No way, I can feel that he is special."
Sylvie frowned slightly and looked down at Su Ming with a puzzled expression.
Su Ming stood there, his mind racing, trying to find some excuses.
"Boy, what is your special ability?" Zhang Tianxiao suddenly asked.
"Um... my ability is..."
Su Ming didn't want to tell the other party about his super intuition.
The power of super intuition can only exert its greatest power when it is hidden, so he cannot reveal the secret of super intuition.
But if you don't talk about super intuition, then there's nothing much to say about him.
Of course, he can also tell these people that his supernatural power hell has returned.
However, the triggering condition for Hell's Return is entering a near-death state. If he confesses that his ability is Hell's Return, then the other party will think that he was in the subway station and defeated the hunter by triggering Hell's Return.
When he was seen leaving the subway station, his body was intact and in good health. Combined with this evidence, even a fool could have guessed that this ability, once triggered, would restore a person to his prime.
In this way, the other party will definitely make him display this dangerous ability because this ability has no side effects.
But the problem is that Su Ming doesn't want to show it at all now, and it is not safe to show it.
He had no idea what the "near death" in the system description meant, nor did he know whether this feature would recover on its own after being triggered. If it didn't, he would be exposed anyway.
Su Ming's intuition told him that this characteristic would not be restored.
The current situation is that he doesn't want to expose his super intuition, and he can't tell about Hell's Return. But if he says nothing, these people will think he is a person without super powers, and will also suspect that he didn't kill the Subway Stalker.
If the situation is serious, I'm afraid he won't be able to join the investigation bureau.
"What exactly is your special ability?" Zhang Tianxiao asked lazily.
"I...my special ability is that I am very accurate with a gun?" Su Ming scratched his head.
As soon as Su Ming said this, the people behind Zhang Tianxiao burst into laughter.
"Can being an accurate shooter be considered a supernatural power?"
"If being a good shooter can be considered a superpower, then I guess half of the operators can call themselves superpowers."
"This guy is quite interesting, but he is actually an ordinary person, right?"
"How can an ordinary person kill the Subway Stalker? It's a special A-level monster."
Their discussion was not loud, but it was just loud enough for people around to hear. Sylvie's face became much more serious, and even she began to doubt whether she had found the wrong person.
The principle of this testing device is based on the magic core's "desire" for abnormal substances. Its operating principle is very simple and it is almost impossible for it to fail.
Could it be that Su Ming is really just an ordinary person?
