Returning from the abyss

Chapter 794 Snow on December 29
Superpower task force, Emmy came out of the office with a document.

"Emmy, wait a minute."

A man in a police uniform came out of the office next door, but Emmy knew him very well and knew that this was the outfit he needed for this mission. In fact, the man was a captain at the same level as her.

"what happened?"

"I checked the Hongmei Pavilion you mentioned earlier." The man said, "The situation is a bit complicated."

Emmy stopped in her tracks.

"complex?"

"How is your eyesight?" The man suddenly asked another question.

"Just regular staring won't aggravate my condition, what? 'Piercing' again?"

"There are more and more holes, Emmy, and we may be running out of time to cover up the negative effects of these piercings. We try to divide everything into individual cases of superpower phenomena, but the long-term peace maintained in this way may not be long. It's almost over."

"……a few more days?"

"I don't know, a month?"

Emmy was a little surprised.

"If I paid a little more attention to..."

"Impossible. After all, you are only a person's ability. If no one helps you, even if you extend it for a few days, the result will be the same." The man shook his head, "And if you have a piercing, I may have to Go and notify the anomalous team to deal with it."

"...Okay, but what happened to the Hongmei Pavilion?"

"It was an active piercing, and the person must have sensed the danger and was trying to make up for it. This time, there was this dance. The gathered ability users are the necessary qualities he found to fight against his own piercing. From a superpower user Say, well done."

"But it doesn't make sense. If he can fix his piercing by himself, what does the abnormal team have to do?" Emmy said with a frown.

"Sorry, I have already reported this matter."

"What does it say above?"

"After inferring the feasibility, I plan to let that person try it, but I need to make some follow-up preparations, and I will be responsible. I think you will be mainly responsible for the task of catching that kid who has a problem with his ability."

"That kid is just a little slippery. Of course, it is impossible for us to allocate extra abilities to sanction him. We can only rely on the usual means." Emmy disagrees. "Of course, we also need to avoid casualties."

"Emmy, you are dying." The man said bluntly.

"You know that death is just a part of watching for me." Emmy said, "Anyway, you don't have the talent to be a watcher, so you don't have to worry about succession."

"No...Emmy, I'm just saying that in our limited and compressed lives, maybe we should consider some things for ourselves." The man nodded, "That's all for now."

On the 28th, the last guest predicted in the letter arrived at the Red Plum Pavilion. This guest, who may be the last in everyone’s mind, was dressed in rags and claimed to be an underground singer yearning for freedom. However, judging from his dirty condition, he may It's not too different from a tramp.

However, the servants had to consider the reception, and only a few guests came out to meet him and ignored him.

Lu Ning glanced at the flowers delivered to her room this morning, and thought about the information Michael told her last night.There are a lot of people who go to the greenhouse, so there are fewer people who don't go to the greenhouse.Michael observed that, except for Lu Ning and Professor Xu who did not go to the greenhouse yesterday, the red-haired woman, Mr. Zhou, the male model and Tang Ling also did not go to the greenhouse.

By the way, Lu Ning also asked about the letter. Michael said that he also curiously used his ability to check the connection between the envelope and the people here, but found that the letter was connected with everyone here, and it was impossible to distinguish whether the letter was Who wrote it.

"Is Miss Lu Ning there?" There was a knock on the door, followed by Ye Yunmei's voice.

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Pan who lives in Qiu-Xianyue sent you an invitation. If you are interested, you can go to the small reception room on the right side of the third floor before eleven o'clock." Ye Yunmei said, "This is what I was ordered to bring here .”

"understood."

Lu Ning was a little puzzled when the footsteps went away.Mr. Pan is the model man who arrived late yesterday. His handsome appearance and good conversation indicate that this man is at least knowledgeable, but Lu Ning didn't say a few words to that man, but he was invited today?

You can also go and see what the purpose of this person is.

Today's small reception room is extremely crowded. After all, it is usually a place for three or four people to chat, but now it is actually crowded with a group of people.Lu Ning glanced, besides Mr. Pan who was the initiator, Michael and Han Xuezhi, two people she was familiar with, and then there were two white-collar women, the big man who could tell lies, and the new freelance singer.

"Ah, the last one has arrived." Mr. Pan laughed, "Sorry, the space here is a bit small, please sit down, I invite you only. Can you close the door by the way?"

Lu Ning nodded and closed the door.

"Everyone, I just learned about what happened in this house last night. I spent a little time thinking about the situation here. Now that I invite you, I also think that the possibility of you being the owner of this house is relatively low. Let's get to know each other again. , my name is Pan Kai, a model."

The people in the room were a little silent, and Michael said with some embarrassment: "The possibility is relatively low? Is it... is it your superpower, or..."

"No, that's not my superpower. I just think that being able to rent such a house, have such servants, hold such a dance party, no matter what, some temperament cannot be concealed. And with all due respect... The people I invited here today don't have that kind of temperament." Pan Kai laughed, "But that's why I believe that you are all reliable companions."

"What does a trusted companion... mean?" one of the female white-collar workers asked.

"It's very simple, I don't trust the owner of this place." Pan Kai said, "The fundamental purpose of the letter is that the owner of this place has encountered some irresistible disaster, and he is counting on us strangers with superpowers to help us." He wards off disasters. Such things are not explained in advance, and we are only told now, which means that he does not believe us... If this is the case, why do we believe him again?"

"I, I don't want to..." Han Xuezhi raised his hand, "I don't know anything, and I might even die!"

"That's it!" Pan Kai immediately agreed, "If it's an ordinary favor, I believe that everyone will lend a helping hand, but this kind of life-threatening problem, using this kind of fraudulent method to deceive us, are you willing? ?"

"Of course not, but we are here now." Michael said with a bitter face.

"Because of this, I think we should find the master and ask him to explain the situation. Of course, servants cannot discuss this kind of thing, and those who seem to have a good life or a high social class are also It cannot be trusted. I hope that everyone can unite and use our abilities to find out the identity of the 'master'!"

Pan Kai's words were quickly approved by several people, and it seemed that Pan Kai had already gotten angry with several people before that.

"In order to form a team, I want to first show my sincerity." Pan Kai took out his mobile phone and put it on the table. "I will first show you my superpowers."

As soon as the voice fell, the screen of the mobile phone lit up, and then a few buttons flashed rapidly, and the mobile phone was turned on.

"What kind of ability is this?" Michael exclaimed, "Can you still steal our private information?"

"No, no, friend, you also saw the password button on my mobile phone flashing. I can operate electrical appliances from a distance - anything that needs electricity, but devices like mobile phones and computers that require passwords need to enter the password again I have used it, so you don’t have to worry about me getting any private information. But I believe my ability will be useful.”

"It sounds very useful!" Michael still maintained the appearance of praising everything, "My ability is just to show the recent connection between some things, but the connection is too complicated, I You can't get any useful information out of it."

"Show a connection?" one of the white-collar women with short hair said happily, "If there is a clue, I can use pictures to describe something that happened in the past, just like a pen fairy."

"Really? I think the two of us can cooperate well." Michael was also very pleasantly surprised.

"In this way, my ability may also help everyone..." Han Xuezhi raised his hand again, and his tone was also very excited, "I can make some traces appear! It's like fingerprints, footprints, sweat, blood, etc. , even if it is erased, as long as it hasn't been too long, I can still make these things appear!"

"My ability is polygraph detection, everyone already knows." The strong man said.

"And me!" The white-collar woman with longer hair also raised her hand, "I can use the camera to reverse-shoot for 30 seconds, and I can see what happened in the past!"

"This is a very remarkable superpower, ma'am!" Michael exclaimed again.

Lu Ning listened, but began to narrow her eyes.

Leaving aside the abilities of the servants, if the abilities of the people brought here this time are all real, why is it so coincidental that they all have investigative abilities?

The ability of the last freelance singer is also able to distinguish a very wide range of sounds, even if he wants to, he can hear frequencies outside the range of the human ear.In a sense, this is also a detective superpower.

Of course, Lu Ning's invisibility ability was also accepted by everyone. After all, as soon as this ability is mentioned, one knows how useful it is to stalk and so on.

"It's unbelievable. After Miss Lu Ning hides, even I can't find her contact." After Michael tested his ability, he discovered Lu Ning's perfect concealment effect.In fact, it was Tranquility that even concealed the traces on Lu Ning's body.

"This is the so-called ability restraint. Fortunately, Miss Lu Ning is our companion." Pan Kai said with a smile, "In this case, I have a good plan. I want to act tonight, and maybe I can find out here tomorrow." Master's true identity..."

Turning the other day, that is, in the early morning of December 29th, when Lu Ning woke up, she heard the sound of something fine hitting the window.She got up and opened the curtains, only to find that it was snowing heavily outside the window, and the snow particles hit the window, quickly accumulating a layer outside, and the scenery outside was almost blocked by the heavy snow.

Blizzard Villa fits perfectly.

Lu Ning shook her head, got up and went out to have some breakfast.The actions last night had nothing to do with her, and she didn't think she could find out the master's identity so easily.Pan Kai just knew the abilities of everyone, and his plan was still based on his own abilities.He brought some small infrared cameras, and using his own ability, he was able to remotely control these cameras to shoot in the desired direction,
He asked about the abilities of everyone, but he needed to find a good way to attract the "master" of the villa.And the free singer immediately put forward an idea: "Since the master has something he doesn't want us to do, as long as we do it the other way around, doesn't he have to show up?"

This person was a little short-sighted, but others were silent about it. In the end, the singer who proposed the idea accepted it in a daze under Pan Kai's praise.He didn't have much ability to distinguish, and he didn't realize how life-threatening it was.

According to the plan, the singer will throw the flowers in his room outside this morning.

She went down the stairs and saw Meng Juan who was eating and reading the newspaper in the living room.

"Hello." Meng Juan raised his head when he heard footsteps, and greeted Lu Ning.After Lu Ning said good morning, she glanced at the newspaper: "Today's newspaper is still delivered on time?"

Newspapers and some fresh supplies of Hongmei Pavilion are sent up from the bottom of the mountain by cable car every day, but the weather is a bit too bad today.

"When I got up and came down to eat, the morning newspaper was already on the shelf over there." Meng Juan gestured, "It should be brought by our dedicated servants. Some dampness should be the water stains left after the snow melted."

There was more than one newspaper. Lu Ning walked over to take a look, and there were indeed some water marks left.At this time, Jin Xiuqing was passing by with a stack of clothes in her arms, so Lu Ning stopped her and asked her a question.

"Qu Langyue has always been responsible for retrieving the newspaper, and it should be her today," Jin Xiuying said.

"Please allow me to express my respect. In such a snowstorm, there is still a distance of nearly [-] meters from the cable car back to the museum. In modern society, there is no need for servants to really do this." Meng Juan said.

Lu Ning reached out and flipped through the newspapers on the shelf, thought for a while and asked, "Is the daily newspaper brought up together with the letter?"

"It should be said that Qu Langyue is responsible for transporting all the things sent by the mountain back to the museum. Sometimes Tian Xiao will also help if there are too many things. Usually only these two are responsible for this matter. Is there any problem? Guest?"

"that's all, thanks."

Lu Ning sat down and began to eat breakfast, but this breakfast was not peaceful.At around [-]:[-], Feng Yuanxi came down from upstairs with a serious expression, and said to the guests in the hall: "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's interest, please allow me to announce a sad news... Just now, Ye Yunmei, who was cleaning the bedroom, found that Mr. Pan Kai died in her bedroom."
