At 11 o'clock in the morning, a helicopter parked on the tarmac on the rooftop of the police station.

Before the pilot had completely settled down on the fuselage, a man in a suit jumped down from above.

"Hello! Sir! I'm here for this operation..." Detective Robinson, who had been waiting on the rooftop for a long time, immediately came up to him and tried to say hello amidst the noise of the helicopter.

Unexpectedly, the other party interrupted him: "There is no need to waste time repeating to me what you and I both know, Detective Robinson." He directly reported the detective's name to let the detective understand—— Information related to "Liam Robinson" is already one of the "things you and I know" in his mouth.

"I have done a lot of homework on the way here. In addition to the written application you submitted, I have also verified the content you reported..." As the man spoke, he walked towards the entrance to the building. Stairwell, "Also, I just finished a phone call with your boss a minute ago. He has agreed to transfer the command of this operation to me. So, Detective, you are now my subordinate. I The first order I give you is - without my permission, do not tell anyone the specific content of the operation, especially your colleagues..."

When he said this, he had already opened the stairwell door, turned sideways, looked at Robinson and said, "By the way, I am Colonel Ross, you can call me... um... Colonel Ross."

Although he spoke in an orderly and fast manner throughout the previous paragraph, when it came to the self-introduction part, his performance was off-line.

"Okay... Colonel Ross." Robinson made a dumbfounded expression, "So, where do you want to start?"

…………

Three minutes later, in the interrogation room.

"Mr. Xue?" Ross walked in accompanied by the detective and asked before the latter had even closed the door.

"Yes." Uncle Xue responded, and then asked, "Are you..."

Ross walked up to Uncle Xue and stood still.

At this moment, the two people stood and sat, one looking down, the other tilting his head, and both sides looked at each other without hesitation.

Uncle Xue looks about thirty years old, and his face has a look of vicissitudes that a forty-year-old may not have; Ross also has a thirty-year-old face, but his demeanor and temperament are exactly the opposite of Uncle Xue... His whole person is full of vicissitudes. Like fire, it gives people a feeling of energy and impetus.

Their skin colors are different, one is a pure yellow, the other is white. In terms of appearance, neither of them is ugly, but they cannot be said to be very handsome.

"I am the twenty-seventh captain of the EAS combat unit 'Tassel' - 'Undertaker' Ross." Facing Uncle Xue, Ross did not mention his military rank, but said that he was an ability user. "nickname".

"Oh." But Uncle Xue's reaction was very cold, and he just responded casually.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?" Ross saw this and asked suspiciously, "For example...your title as an ability user..."

Uncle Xue looked at him for two seconds and then asked: "If I don't tell others about my ability, can others discover it?"

"Hmm..." Ross thought for a while and felt that it made sense. As long as a person with abilities like Uncle Xue kept a low profile, no one would know that he was a person with abilities, or even know that he existed, so there was no need to mention anything. Nicknamed, "Okay... I'm the one talking too much, so let's get down to business."

"Shouldn't your main business be to organize people to arrest bank robbers?" When Uncle Xue asked this question, he turned his head and glanced at Robinson standing by the door.

About two hours ago, Robinson, who had finished watching the baseball game, believed Uncle Xue's words and promised the other party that he would seek assistance from EAS directly through superiors and official channels.

This plan was formulated by Uncle Xue after repeated reflections after going through the previous several times - because he had already determined that one of the robbers was an esper, and he also regarded the fact that he was an esper as a matter of course. The capital has been exposed... In this way, EAS has a good reason to enter the game.

In this matter, it is obviously more appropriate to let EAS send someone instead of asking FCPS for help.

In addition, it also makes sense to let Robinson submit the report: given the detective's position in the bureau, he only needs the approval of the director to complete the process. In this way, you can avoid the eyes and ears of other people in the police station to the greatest extent. If the information can be leaked in advance, it can only mean that the undercover in the police station is the director himself...

Although Robinson was asked about his mental condition by the director when he submitted the application because the content of the report was too fantasy, after promising that he would take the blame if something went wrong, Robinson still got the job done.

Thus, the meeting before us took place.

"That is indeed one of the things I have to do, but right now... I have to do a small test on you before I can take the next step." Ross continued, "If I try... you are not capable at all. If you don’t, it means you are a liar, and the information you said has completely lost its credibility.”

"Oh? Can my ability be 'tested'?" Uncle Xue was curious now, "Could it be that you are also a 'time' ability user?"

"No," Ross replied, "But I can..."

When he said the word "this", Ross suddenly raised his foot and kicked Uncle Xue in the chest.

At this moment, both Robinson and Uncle Xue understood something that had been worrying people since just now - why this guy had to stand and talk.

Rose's kick was caught off guard, and Uncle Xue's hands were still handcuffed, so he couldn't resist. A second later, the chair Uncle Xue was sitting on overturned and fell, and he was kicked out and hit. Up the wall.

However, this seemingly severe kick did not cause any injuries to Uncle Xue. The latter just grunted and recovered quickly.

"Hmm..." Ross looked at Uncle Xue for two seconds and said thoughtfully, "No matter what your ability is, at least your physical fitness has exceeded the minimum standard for equal levels. You are definitely a capable person."

"So...your ability is to control your strength accurately?" Uncle Xue was not angry. He just patted the footprints on his clothes and looked up at the other person to test.

"Ha... Anyone can do this kind of thing by 'controlling their strength down to the smallest detail' through training." Ross smiled and continued, "Of course, most of you civilian ability users are very familiar with abilities. There is no systematic concept of level and intensity, and the training methods and efficiency cannot be compared with ours. It is difficult for you to understand these..."

"I'm not interested in understanding either..." Uncle Xue continued, "My original intention was just to save people, but now things seem to be getting more and more complicated."

"It's not very complicated, Mr. Xue." Ross said, "I'll tell you how things will develop next... Within forty minutes, I will organize an elite police force of about ten people with Detective Robinson. team, and strictly prevent team members from contacting the outside world before the operation; after the team is formed, we will immediately rush to the bank where the incident occurred to ambush you. As soon as the robbery begins, we will launch a surprise attack on the robbers, no accidents If so, we can kill or subdue everyone on the other side before other police officers who receive the alert arrive."

"I have to emphasize..." Uncle Xue heard this and wanted to remind the other party, "There is a person with abilities among the robbers, who is very..."

"I know." Ross interrupted the other party again. He didn't like to hear the information he already knew from others again and again. "I already checked and recorded the information about the robbers before they came here. It's done; a case like this with a 'robbery order' as the basis can be easily detected using our intelligence network."

"That intelligence network of yours... can we, the police, also use it?" At this time, Robinson, who was standing behind watching the show, made a comment in a sarcastic tone at the right time.

"Detective..." Ross responded unceremoniously, "How about this kind of joke... wait until you clean up the dirty policemen and undercover agents in your own department?"

"Hmph..." Robinson held a cigarette in his mouth, "That's how our police are. With more people, the ingredients are mixed, and the salary is not as high as yours... Not everyone can keep the bottom line when facing temptation."

Rose did not answer his words, because Rose was from an elite class, and discussing this kind of issue with the other party would not yield any results at all. Talking too much would only hurt the relationship.

"Anyway..." Therefore, Ross returned to the previous topic to Uncle Xue, "You don't have to worry about that ability user. We have his file in EAS... As you guessed, he He has strong self-healing power and physical fitness. In addition, even if his abilities are put aside, he is also a top-notch mercenary who is proficient in fighting, firearms, reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, tactical layout and other skills. But even so, I I can also tell you with confidence...he is no match for me."

"What if he escapes again?" Uncle Xue likes to ask "what if" in everything, because what may be a "what if" to others may be just another familiar morning to him.

"It doesn't matter, even if he really escapes and triggers a monster rampage, you don't have to 'go back in time'." Ross replied in a very relaxed tone, "When the time comes, I will go and get what you said." Monsters' killing... can also prevent casualties."

"So confident..." Uncle Xue muttered with empty eyes.

"Whether it is confidence or arrogance will be revealed in a few hours." Ross said, turning and walking towards the door, "Mr. Xue, considering your ability, there seems to be no point in imprisoning you. I can only verbally I advise you... I hope you don't run away; personally, I am very willing to believe that you are a good person, and our EAS is also capable of helping you get rid of your identity as a criminal after this incident is resolved, so what is best for you now The choice is...stay here and wait for me to save your 'Seventh Friday'."

"Oh." Uncle Xue's reaction was much calmer than the other party expected. He lifted the chair with his feet, walked around to sit in front of the chair again, and continued, "Then come on..." He said with a look of embarrassment on his face. Zheng said with a look that had seen through the world, "Don't worry too much. Even if the final result proves that you are indeed arrogant, we will meet again in my 'Eighth Friday'. Of course, next time you will probably kick Don’t touch me anymore.”
