(45) Protection of superpowers

After a busy day, I stayed at a relatively large hotel in Arctic Village.

I opened a four-bedroom presidential suite, one for each of my Chiqi Zhou Qing, and one for Uncle Crab and Robert.

After dinner, we stayed in the living room of the suite.

"I can't imagine such a small town and such a high-end hotel!"

Like a bun entering the village, Chiqi looked around.

Robert jumped around on the couch in excitement.

"Millions of visitors from all over the world come to Arctic Village every day. There are more tourists, and the hotel naturally has a higher specification! This is not surprising! ”

Uncle Crab explained.

Chiqi took out a cigarette, took out one and lit it, put it to her mouth, and handed it to me.

I took it, and there was still her red lip print on the filter, and I smoked it directly.

I smoked a cigarette and didn't say a word.

"What do you think? So fascinating. ”

Zhou Qing sat beside me and asked softly.

"I'm wondering where these superpowers come from!"

I wondered what it was that made these superpowers.

"Aren't these people all innate?"

Chi Qi lit another cigarette for herself, and interjected as she spoke.

"They don't know what forces are causing them to be endowed with these superpowers!"

Uncle Crab said.

"Given? That's an interesting statement! ”

Zhou Qing agrees with the uncle's statement.

"Thinking along the lines of 'endowed', if it's 'given superpowers by what power', we have to see what they have in common that deserve to be chosen."

I analyzed.

"The common denominator? Nevia can teleport, the buskers will levitate, and there will be a Magneto, a trapeze, a prophet, and a legendary invisible man, all of whom have different types of superpowers, what will they have in common? ”

Chi Qi combed through the Adepts we came into contact with.

"They all live in Arctic Village!" Combing here, Chi Qi and Zhou Qing said in unison.

It was the first time that the two "rivals in love" had such a tacit understanding, and the two smiled at each other.

"Well, they all live in Arctic Village!"

I nodded.

"But the Arctic Village has a permanent population of several thousand, and not all of them have superpowers!"

Zhou Qing raised new questions.

"3000 resident population."

Uncle Crab added.

"Right? With a permanent population of more than 3,000 and millions of travelers every year, if the Arctic Village has some mysterious power, why are only these few people with superpowers? ”

I continued Zhou Qing's questioning.

"Maybe there are more superpowers, but we haven't found them yet."

Chi Qi guessed that there were more superpowers, and listening to her tone, it was as if everyone in the Arctic Village was a hidden superpower.

"What can be determined now is the connection between the Anomalous and the Arctic Village. There are two things, first, they live in the Arctic Village, and second, the bedroom where Nevia is sent back every time, there is a phenomenon of magnetic field disappearing! The only thing they have in common is 'they all live in the Arctic Village'. ”

I conclude.

"Wait, there should be one more thing in common!"

A voice in my head said this to me, and I blurted it out almost in sync with his.

"And?"

The crowd looked at me in bewilderment.

"Street performers used to say that their parents used to work together!"

The voice in my head said this to me again, and I almost overlapped with his.

"That's right! Forget this! ”

Chi Qi slapped her thigh, "I'll check!" ”

Over the next few days, Chi Qi took Robert to visit these Abilities again.

"Found it! Found it! Both of these people's parents worked in a Russian fishing company, and in the period 2013-2030, they all worked near the North Pole! ”

Chi Qi reported to me with great interest.

"North Pole?"

I was overjoyed to finally find more common ground, "It seems that their superpowers really have something to do with the North Pole!" ”

"Are we going to report the boss to the North Pole?"

Chiqi asked me.

My principle for investigating cases of mysterious events is to "not take the initiative" and "hold back curiosity".

"Oh no!"

Just as he was about to scold Chi Qi for having too many things to do and running to the North Pole or something, Uncle Crab walked in and shouted, "Oh no! ”

"What's wrong?"

I looked at my uncle with a puzzled face.

"Someone put the superpowered thing on the Internet! The attention is very high, and many people say that they want to come to Arctic Village to meet them for themselves! ”

Uncle took out his phone and showed it to me.

"Hey! Tourists come to see them and there is nothing, the key is that it is not good to attract the attention of the government! Send agents to catch them in the lab and be guinea pigs! ”

I sighed repeatedly.

"What doesn't have a long eye to put the things of the Adeptus on the Internet?"

Chi Qi pursed her lips and scolded.

The uncle flipped through his phone, found the publisher's name and read "Arctic X Investigation Team!" ”

"Them?"

Chi Qi was taken aback.

"I saw that they didn't obey us! As soon as someone put it on the Internet, I thought that they did it! ”

Walker's boy looked treacherous, and when he met them in Arctic Village, I knew he must have done something behind his back.

"I'm going to kill them!"

Chi Qi was furious and said through gritted teeth.

"Don't be busy talking harshly, let's calm this matter down first! We need to protect these Abilities! ”

I reminded Chi Qidao.

"Don't worry! I have a way! ”

Chi Qi sneered, as if she had thought of some good idea.

Hearing her say this, I was also relieved, no matter what method she used, she could achieve the purpose of protecting these powers.

After a few more days, the town didn't change, no more out-of-town tourists were found entering the Arctic Village, or the government's special forces were hunting down the supernaturals.

"Because of news falsification, the Arctic X investigation team stinks!"

Zhou Qing flipped through his phone to show me.

I took my phone, and there was a lot of news and commentary on the Internet attacking the Arctic X investigation team for faking, saying that the superpowers they exposed were fake. I watched several videos of superpowers released in the name of the Arctic X investigation team, and it is indeed full of loopholes, and the fake is ridiculous.

Presumably this is Chiqi's method.

She must have found someone to record some videos of fake superpowers, and put them on the Internet under the name of "Arctic X Investigation Team", completely making this investigation team stink.

This is really our usual way of acting, "arrogant", "extreme", "quite aggressive".

Chi Qi is my assistant, and her ability is also very strong. In addition to his flamboyant personality, his voice is too noisy, and his mysterious face makes him a good partner.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I thought about it. Then he stopped laughing again, "Chiqi, that girl, won't she really report the North Pole to the boss, right?" Do you want to go to that icy place? ”
