After fiddling around for a while, Liu Wang turned the screen of the laptop towards Lei Ting. Lei Ting took a closer look and was astonished to find that it was actually a PPT!
And the title of this PPT was: The 33rd Superpower Criminal in Shanghai City - Jiang Jingtao.
It was only at this moment that Lei Ting deeply realized how idle the work of official superpower users was.
They were so idle that they were willing to spend time editing the information of a criminal into a PPT!
While Lei Ting was still in a daze, the PPT started to play.
The first page had a close-up photo of the criminal from his ID card, followed by various basic identity information, such as name, gender, date of birth, current place of residence, etc.
After staying on the first page for about a minute, it continued to turn the page. The second page was a video.
The video was about three minutes long and was a high-definition restored image from the street surveillance in a certain remote alley.
The shooting time of the image was displayed in the upper left corner, which was 10:42 pm on July 25th, that is, last night. Among them, the first person to appear in the picture was a corporate employee dressed in a suit, carrying a black briefcase, with his head lowered and his face unrecognizable.
After he walked to the center of the picture, the second person appeared.
The moment Lei Ting saw that person, he frowned and immediately identified him as the superpower criminal named Jiang Jingtao at the first glance.
There was no other reason. It was simply that his attire was too strange. After all, who would wrap themselves up tightly in the middle of summer, layer upon layer, without missing a mask or a cotton hat? Either he was a lunatic or he had a guilty conscience and was afraid of being seen in his true appearance.
Lei Ting's speculation was soon verified. Just as the corporate employee was about to walk out of the surveillance picture, he suddenly froze.
Yes, he froze, not that he stopped voluntarily.
As for the reason, who would keep the walking posture when they stop?
And at the same time that the corporate employee was frozen, the strange person who had been following him behind also quickened his pace, quickly came behind the corporate employee, and then started groping around on the former's body.
Soon, the strange person took out the corporate employee's mobile phone from his pocket and some loose change. But he obviously wasn't satisfied. He snatched the victim's briefcase and poured out all the things inside in one go.
However, apart from a stack of paper documents, there was nothing else.
Seeing this, the strange person had to give up. After putting the victim's mobile phone and loose change into his own pocket, he turned around and fled as if running for his life.
Half a minute after the strange person disappeared from the surveillance picture, the frozen corporate employee finally regained control of his body, took the step he hadn't been able to take, and then fell to the ground and fled as if he had seen a ghost, not even caring about the documents scattered on the ground. The video ended there.
Turning the page again, the next page after the surveillance video still had a close-up photo of the criminal Jiang Jingtao. However, the text content below changed from basic identity information to an introduction of his superpower.
Ability: Immobilization (probability 90%)
Realm: Tranquility (probability 80%)
Danger Level: Yellow (Low Risk)
Effective Range of the Ability: A radius of 20 meters centered on the superpower user himself (probability 90%)
Number of Targets Affected by the Ability: 1 to 3 people (probability 80%)
Are There Other Effects: None
Final Assessment: D Level
At this point, Liu Wang suddenly closed the laptop, smiled and looked at Lei Ting, as if waiting for him to speak.
Lei Ting also understood that he was waiting for him to ask questions. Coincidentally, he didn't understand some concepts on the page introducing the criminal's superpower. So he cooperatively asked, "Can you tell me in detail about the 'ability realm' and that 'danger level'?"
Liu Wang nodded in approval. Just as he was about to answer, a thick voice came from outside the reception room.
Lei Ting turned his gaze and was surprised to find that the fat man Xu Zhi had appeared there at some point. Leaning against the door frame, he answered Lei Ting's question before Liu Wang:
"You should know what the 'ability realm' specifically means, so I won't go into too much detail. I'll just briefly mention to you the names of the ten realms formulated by the 'Earth Superpower Users Association'."
Ignoring Liu Wang's resentful gaze, Xu Zhi continued, "There are ten realms in the realm division of superpower users. Strictly speaking, they are divided into the lower four realms, the middle one realm, the upper four realms, and the highest one realm. However, most people don't like this division method, so it can also be simply divided into the upper five realms and the lower five realms.
"Among them, the lower five realms, from low to high, are 'Initial', 'Tranquility', 'Novice', 'Sneak Peeker', and 'Heavenly Path'; while the upper five realms, also from low to high, are 'Transcending Mortality', 'Transformation', 'Soaring', 'Supreme', and 'Perfection'. You currently belong to the 'Novice' in the lower five realms, and this is also the realm that can make the superpower of a superpower user undergo its first qualitative change..."
"Qualitative change of superpower?" Lei Ting noticed the key words in Xu Zhi's words. At the same time, he looked around and successfully found a nail clipper on that mahogany bookshelf. So he reached out his hand towards it.
The nail clippers shook gently without being touched, and even moved towards him at a speed that was not slow, and finally flew into his palm.
"Is this the qualitative change of superpower?" Lei Ting asked, holding the nail clipper.
Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, electromagnetic force. This is the new application awakened after the first qualitative change of your lightning-based superpower."
Lei Ting responded thoughtfully and then asked, "Since this is the first qualitative change, is there a second qualitative change?"
"Yes, there is." Xu Zhi replied, "The realm of the second qualitative change is the 'Transformation' in the upper five realms, but this is very different from the first qualitative change. We'll talk about it after you officially join us. Next, I'll briefly explain the 'danger level' to you."
Lei Ting nodded. He was particularly curious about these superpower-related knowledge at the moment, and this was the first time he had listened so attentively.
"The 'danger level' is simply divided according to the degree of danger of the superpower user's ability. The greater the damage or influence caused to society, nature, and species, the more dangerous it is, and the higher the level. However, it should be noted that the higher the level, it doesn't necessarily mean that the superpower is stronger. Destructive power is not the only standard to measure the strength of a superpower. Some superpowers may have weak destructive power, but they are also extremely important and crucial in some aspects."
"As for the specific division... Lei Ting, do you remember those various colored warnings in the weather forecast?" Xu Zhi suddenly asked.
"I know." Lei Ting nodded.
"The 'danger level' is almost like that, distinguishing danger by color. The lighter the color, the lower the possible damage, and vice versa. Currently, from low to high, they are Green 'Ordinary Level', Blue 'No Risk Level', Yellow 'Low Risk Level', Orange 'Medium Risk Level', Red 'High Risk Level', Purple 'Ultra Risk Level', and Black 'Destruction Level'. Your current ability, 'Current Control', according to the estimated destructive power, belongs to the Orange 'Medium Risk Level'. If your realm is two levels higher, reaching the 'Heavenly Path' realm, and you can control the electromagnetic force more skillfully and with a larger range, it is estimated that you can at least reach the Red 'High Risk Level', and it is not impossible to reach the Purple 'Ultra Risk Level'." Xu Zhi said later, pondering his words.
"The highest is the Ultra Risk level. So my ability is really awesome and has such strong destructive power." Lei Ting muttered to himself somewhat proudly, and then turned his head to look at Liu Wang, who still had a resentful expression on his face.
Sensing Lei Ting's gaze on him, Liu Wang pouted and said, "I'm at the Blue 'No Risk' level, and my superpower has no attack ability at all. Well, are you satisfied now?"
Getting the answers he wanted, Lei Ting smiled with satisfaction and turned his gaze back to Xu Zhi.
Xu Zhi shrugged slightly and said, "My first ability is the same as Liu Wang's, also at the Blue 'No Risk Level'."
"First ability?!" Lei Ting grasped the key point in Xu Zhi's words.
"Is there still a second ability?" Lei Ting asked.
"Well..." Xu Zhi showed a simple and honest smile, "It's confidential."
