The fifth week after the fight with the blood lords, the hospital.

Paper Man's injuries have basically recovered, and in terms of medical ability in the 22nd century, as long as he does not die on the spot, he can be saved.

It is expected that after a few more days of rest, Paper Man will be discharged from the hospital, and he will recover faster than ordinary people, not to mention that HL has also reimbursed all expenses, let him be admitted to the best ward, and use expensive medicines.

That morning, Deacon's fat man barged in without knocking, carrying a food box in his hand, putting it down, and saying, "Try the muffins my wife makes." ”

Paper Man was flipping through a newspaper floating in the air: "To be honest, I asked you not to bring it again last time, not because it was polite, but because the muffins made by your wife are really hard to eat." ”

"Ha, of course I know, otherwise what would I bring it to you? I'll eat it myself. Deacon replied shamelessly, then turned to close the door and moved his ass to a stool in the room: "Listen, you're going to be discharged in a few days, and the commissioner and I agree that you should be given some more time off. ”

Paper Man put down the newspaper: "I've been resting long enough. ”

Deacon said: "I knew you would say that, so I have to bring you a letter that you need to be 'silent' about some things this time you are discharged." He gestured with his hand in a double-quoted motion.

"Don't worry, I didn't want to talk about that night. Paper Man said.

Deacon shook his head: "That's just a part, and those superpowers of yours, try not to show them in the future." ”

"Is it necessary? Hide something that even the cleaners in the bureau know. ”

"This is your old friend Malone, which is what HL means. And, man, people used to just think your 'little tricks' were funny, and never imagined you could conjure a tornado or a giant snake or anything like that. Deacon said: "Things like mind reading, bending spoons, and detonating light bulbs are acceptable to people with a little more open minds, but the abilities you showed that night really scared everyone, you seemed to become a comic book character like Superman overnight, and I don't think the public was ready to accept that." ”

The paper man tilted his eyebrows and said, "This is what Marlon said to you, right?"

"I'm just quoting a few sentences, and that's pretty much what it means. Deacon took the chocolate bar from his bosom and nibbled on it, not at all bothering to touch the muffins.

"Well, I know, keep a low profile, I've always been. Paper Man replied helplessly.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Deacon took his leave. After lunch, Paper Man wanted to go for a walk in the hallway, but an unexpected uninvited guest arrived.

This time the other party knocked on the door, and the paper man said, "Please come in." ”

Two men walked in, one of them was Faro, who was also wearing a black military coat today, but in front of the paper man, his expression was no longer as swaggering as the last time they met.

The other man had a constipated face for about three days, messy gray hair, and a pair of light-colored sunglasses.

Faro was the first to speak: "Hello, Officer Ness, we have met, and I will formally introduce myself, I am Lieutenant Colonel G. Faro at the European headquarters of HL. ”

Paper Man didn't react much, just calmly replied, "Well, fortunately." ”

Faro then stretched out his hand and introduced: "This is the ...... of EAS"

"My name is Joseph Nolan, and my colleagues call me the Waiter, and I was on vacation, and I was not in charge of this work at the moment, but now the cruel, cold-blooded, and unconscionable exploiters are wantonly squandering my precious rest time, disrupting all my schedules, and making me suddenly fly here from the tropics to meet you, so you should also see the urgency and importance of the matter, please cooperate with me, so that I can go back to vacation!" Shi Shi directly followed Faro's words, and the speed of words jumping out of his mouth was faster than that of ordinary people hitting a typewriter, and what was commendable was that his words were still suppressed and very clear.

Paper Man laughed dryly: "Then what are you looking for me?"

"Based on the information obtained by EAS, the decision has now been made by the superiors to conduct an assessment of the abilities of Officer Elliott Ness, that is, Paper Man, you, and the data must be fed back as soon as possible. The waiter replied.

"May I ask what department EAS is first?"

The speed of the waiter's reply remained unabated: "A hundred years ago, Duke Carlo, the battle hero of the Empire, was secretly authorized a position codenamed EAS, that is, ExtraAbility Supervisor, which has evolved and is retained today in the form of an organization. The office location changes frequently, the number of members is not to be announced, the benefits are outrageous, and I only have two weeks off a year anyway. In summary, the primary function of EAS is to oversee and manage the competencies on the planet. ”

Faro added: "Don't worry, Mr. Ness, they are also on business, and for all those with strong or higher abilities, the Empire will strive to obtain their information if conditions permit, and this is also for your safety." ”

Paper Man sneered: "Needless to say, I understand this, those with strong abilities are either wanted and on the run, or they are absorbed by HL or some organizations that I have never heard of, and there are very few people like me." No matter how you say it, I have to roughly estimate my strength, and by the way, I can monitor it so that some big people can rest assured. ”

The waiter didn't seem to mind the other party's words, "Very good, mutual understanding can effectively improve work efficiency, please go to the second branch in the afternoon, the preparation for the test has been completed." ”

Paper Man said: "How do I think this invitation is some kind of inhumane human experiment." ”

Shi Shi said: "This is not a physical examination, Mr. Ness, EAS does not need to do any physiological testing for people with abilities like you, but just needs a specific environment to see the limit of the destructive power that your ability can reach." ”

Paper Man said strangely: "Oh? So there is still that kind of test? Is it in a particularly sturdy environment, prepare hundreds of metal dummies, and see how soon I can dismantle them?"

The waiter turned around and walked out of the room, not wasting a minute or a second, and did not know what he was hurrying to do, and before his back disappeared, he left a sentence: "I will take care of the destruction, waiting for the master." ”
