Inside the police station, the insect that was originally awake gradually recovered from its fluttering state, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
“What is your superpower?”
Du Gang, looking at the light, was very curious and guessed, “Suppression? Sleep induced?”
If this woman had killed the bug, he wouldn’t have been surprised at all.
Bizarrely, she just flashed a light from her finger and the bug fell asleep.
He suspected that she might have a power similar to An Ya’s that could hypnotize bugs.
Su Qi subconsciously glanced at Captain He Yongjun, and seeing that he did not react, she then smiled and said, “My superpower is Light Control!” “That means I can create all kinds of lights I have ever seen!”
“What I just released was sunlight… I thought of it after my power awakened yesterday, considering that there were no bugs during the day, so I produced sunlight, and these bugs really stopped…”
At this moment, He Yongjun interjected, “That’s right, if it wasn’t for Su Qi’s power, I would have been dead by now, the bug was less than a meter away from me at the time!”
His face still wore an expression of lingering fear.
“Yes, if it weren’t for Su Qi awakening her superpower and conjuring sunlight, we would have all been dead last night!”
The other police officers also chimed in, all with similar expressions. It seemed that they had indeed experienced a narrow escape from death. Hearing them say this, Du Gang and the others nodded. It was their team’s consensus that the bugs would fall asleep when the sun came out.
“So, bugs are afraid of sunlight, and they will fall into deep sleep under the sunlight!”
After murmuring these words, Chu Zixuan looked at the crowd and asked again, “What do you think would happen if we moved this bug into the sun?”
Su Qi, who had withdrawn her superpower after the bug fell asleep, agreed after hearing his words, “I also want to know if my superpower can cause other damages to bugs besides putting them to sleep!”
Last night was a devastating experience for her, having to watch one colleague after another fall down and being powerless to help…
Although she finally saved her teammates by producing sunlight, she longed to kill these bugs with her own hands!
While Chu Zixuan was speaking, he was secretly looking at Du Gang with his Mental Power and saw no reaction from him, so he quietly nodded.
He felt that he had mostly figured out Du Gang’s character by now.
Cold-blooded, selfish, opportunistic, and good at pretending!
These traits all had been displayed by Du Gang during that day.
However, the good news was that Du Gang was quite rational and not some hysterical madman.
Normal people, upon receiving inhuman powers, would lose their sense due to the sudden surge in strength and become arrogant.
But not Du Gang!
It was clear that he could control his desires and appear quite calm. Thinking of something incredible, Chu Zixuan involuntarily shivered.
“Are you alright?!”
Du Gang, standing beside Chu Zixuan, asked with concern.
“No…no, I’m fine!”
Du Gang nodded and smiled, saying, “As long as you’re fine!”
Then, he suddenly took a step forward and said, “The superpower I’ve awakened is strength and agility. Hmm, now I have about three to four times the strength of a normal person. If you need to move the bug into the sun, I can help…”
The police officers, after hearing Chu Zixuan’s explanation, knew about Du Gang’s power, and also knew that he was originally only 1.7 meters tall and gained height because his power had awakened.
Watching the smile on Du Gang’s face and his sincere demeanor, the officers couldn’t help but sigh, “What a good student!”
Despite possessing inhuman powers, he remained a kind-hearted kid at heart!
Once he finished speaking, he and the other police officers gathered around the bug, discussing how to move the three-meter-long bug, which appeared to be quite heavy, outside.
Hearing that Du Gang had concealed his true superpower, An Ya and the others didn’t find it too strange, because Chu Zixuan had mentioned earlier, he had only increased in strength.
However, when they saw the others praising Du Gang as a good kid, they all felt a ludicrous sensation.
This really is a cunning old fox, what a great pretender!
Ji Zhiwen, wanting to expose Du Gang as he watched him put on his pretend innocent face.
This guy, when facing others who were unaware of the specifics, simply pushed Chu Zixuan forward while pretending that Chu Zixuan was the leader of the group.
Not only did he hide his real superpower, but he also subtly portrayed himself as an honest, naive, and kind student.
Shameless!
After thinking for a moment, Ji Zhiwen still dared not say more. He had originally wanted to lodge a complaint with the police about Du Gang’s inhumane method of distributing war spoils.
But now, he thought of a problem, that is, could the dozen or so people present beat Du Gang?
The answer gestated in his heart for a while, and in the end, he sighed, holding back the words he had intended to say.
Thus, a group of police officers gathered together discussing how to handle and transport the bug.
And Du Gang’s group, who seemed like a group of students, were whispering on the side.
“Should we tell them about the crystals?” Chu Zixuan asked in a low voice.
The others didn’t rush to express their opinions, but instead looked at Du Gang to see what he would say because they had basically all recognized him as their leader.
After pondering for a moment, Du Gang said, “Actually, there are two possibilities now. One is that when it gets dark, the Spatial Channels won’t appear, and the bugs won’t come again, so the society will soon recover, and we’ll have to go back to school…”
Everyone heard this, all wishing for it. Compared to awakening superpowers, they would prefer to return to normal society.
“The other situation is that when it gets dark, the Spatial Channels will appear again, and then the bugs will be endless…”
As he said this, Du Gang paused. He had not wanted to tell others initially, as it might lead to competition.
But after giving it some thought, he realized it made no difference. Not mentioning how many bugs might be hiding outside, just think; how many people, as of now, would be able to break open a bug and take out the crystal?
Their goal was the north, Luo An City, so even if they told He Yongjun and the others, it wouldn’t matter because they wouldn’t cross paths in the future!
Finally, after thoughtful contemplation, Du Gang said, “So, I think we should tell them about the crystals since we all belong to the same human race!”
Everyone found it insincerely virtuous and a bit hypocritical when these righteous words were spoken by Du Gang. This included not only Ji Zhiwen but also An Ya and Ma Li.
Du Gang did not care about what others thought of him and decided, “Alright,
Chu Zixuan, you will be the one to tell them about it later..”
