Superpower task force, Emmy walked out of the office holding a document.
"Emmy, wait a moment."
A man wearing a police uniform walked out of the office next door, but Emmy was familiar with him and knew that this was the outfit he needed for this mission. In fact, the man was a captain of the same level as her.
"What's wrong?"
"I checked the Hongmei Pavilion you mentioned before," the man said. "The situation is a bit complicated."
Emmy stopped.
"complex?"
"How is your eyesight?" The man suddenly asked another question.
"Just regular staring won't aggravate my condition, what? Another 'piercing' this time?"
"There are more and more holes, Emmy, and we may soon be too late to cover up the negative effects of these piercings. We are trying to separate everything into cases of superpower phenomena, but the long-term peace maintained in this way may soon be It’s about to end.”
"……a few more days?"
"I don't know, a month?"
Emmy was a little surprised.
"If I paid a little more attention..."
"It's impossible. After all, you are just one person. Without anyone to help you, even if you extend it for a few days, there will be no difference in the result." The man shook his head, "And if you have a perforation, you may have to ask me to Go and notify the people from the abnormality team to handle it."
"...Okay, but what's going on at the Red Plum Pavilion?"
"It was an active piercing, and the person was probably aware of the danger and was trying to make up for it, which is why this dance was held. The gathered power users were the necessary qualities he found to resist his own piercing. From a super power user Speaking of which, you did a good job.”
"But that's meaningless. If he can solve his piercing alone, then why should the Abnormal Group do anything?" Emmy said with a frown.
"Sorry, I have already reported this matter."
"What does it say above?"
"After deducing the feasibility, I plan to let that person give it a try, but some follow-up preparations need to be made, and I will be responsible. I think you will be mainly responsible for the task of catching that kid who has problems with his abilities."
"That kid is just a little slippery. Of course, we can't allocate extra capabilities to punish him, so we can only rely on normal means as much as possible." Emmy disagreed, "Of course, we also need to avoid casualties."
"Emmy, you are going to die." The man said bluntly.
"You know that death to me is just a part of watching." Emmy said, "Anyway, you don't have the talent to become 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."

On the 28th, the last guest predicted in the letter arrived at the Hongmei Pavilion. This guest, who everyone thought might be the last guest, was dressed in rags and claimed to be an underground singer who longed for freedom. However, judging from his dirty condition, , probably not much different from a homeless person.
However, the reception was left to the servants to consider, and only a few of the guests came out to meet him and ignored him.
Lu Ning glanced at the flowers that were delivered to her room this morning and thought about the information Michael told her last night. There are quite a few people going to the greenhouse. Judging from this, there are relatively few people who have not gone to the greenhouse. Michael observed that except for Lu Ning and Professor Xu, the red-haired woman, Mr. Zhou, the male model and Tang Ling also did not go to the greenhouse yesterday.
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 to everyone here, and it was completely impossible to distinguish who the letter was from. Who wrote it.
"Is Miss Lu Ning here?" There was a knock at the door, followed by Ye Yunmei's voice.
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Pan who lives in Qiu Xianyue has 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. .”
"knew."
The footsteps walked away, and Lu Ning was a little confused. Mr. Pan is the model man who arrived late yesterday. His handsome appearance and good conversation indicate that this man is at least knowledgeable. However, Lu Ning didn't say a few words to that man, but she was invited today?
You can also go and see what the purpose of this person is.
The small reception room was extremely crowded today. After all, this was usually a place for three or four people to chat, but now a group of people were actually crowded here. Lu Ning glanced at it. In addition to the initiator, Mr. Pan, there were two people she was familiar with, Michael and Han Xuezhi, and then there were the 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, "I'm sorry, the place here is a bit small, please sit wherever you want. I only invite you. Can you close the door?"
Lu Ning nodded and closed the door.
"Everyone, I just learned about what happened in this house last night, and spent some time thinking about the situation here. Now I invite you, and 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 awkwardly: "The possibility is relatively low? Is it... is it your super power, or..."
"No, my superpower is not in this area. I just think that being able to rent such a house, have such servants, and hold such a dance, no matter what, there is a certain temperament that cannot be concealed. And with all due respect... The people I invited here today do not have that kind of temperament." Pan Kai said with a smile, "But it is precisely because of this that I believe that you are all trustworthy companions."
"What does trusted companion... mean?" one of the female white-collar workers asked.
"It's very simple, I don't trust the owner here." Pan Kai said, "The fundamental purpose of the content of that letter is that the owner here has encountered some irresistible disaster and expects us strangers with super powers to help him. He warded off disasters. If he didn't explain such things in advance and only told us now, it shows that he doesn't believe us...If that's the case, why should we believe in him?"
"I, I don't want to either..." Han Xuezhi raised his hand, "I don't know anything, and I might even die!"
"That's it!" Pan Kai immediately agreed, "If it was just a small favor, I believe everyone would not hesitate to lend a helping hand, but for this life-threatening issue, you have used this method that is close to fraud to deceive us. Are you willing? ?"
"Of course not, but we are here now." Michael said with a grimace.
"Because of this, I think we should find the master and let him explain the situation. Of course, servants cannot discuss this kind of thing. The same goes for those who look like they are living a good life or have a high social class. It cannot be trusted. I hope everyone here can unite and use our abilities to cooperate to find out the identity of the 'master'!"
Pan Kai's words were quickly agreed with by several people. It seemed that Pan Kai had already been angry with several people before this.
"In order to form a team, I want to show my sincerity first." Pan Kai took out his mobile phone and put it on the table. "I will show you my superpower first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone screen lit up, and then several buttons flashed rapidly, and the phone was turned on.
"What kind of ability is this?" Michael exclaimed, "Can you still steal our private information?"
"No, no, no, friend, you have also seen that the password button on my mobile phone is flashing. I can operate electrical appliances from a distance - anything that requires electricity, but devices like mobile phones and computers that require passwords have 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 his attitude of praising everything. "My ability is only to show the recent connections between some things, but the connections are too complicated. I There is no useful information to be gained from it.”
"Show the connection?" One of the white-collar women with short hair said happily, "If there are clues, I can describe some things that happened in the past through pictures, just like the pen fairy."
"Really? I think the two of us can work well together." Michael was also pleasantly surprised.
"In that case, my ability may also help everyone..." Han Xuezhi raised his hand again, with an excited tone, "I can make some traces appear! Like fingerprints, footprints, sweat, blood and so on. , even if it is erased, as long as it does not take too long, I can make these things appear!"
"My ability is lie detection, everyone already knows it." The strong man said.
"And me!" The white-collar woman with longer hair also raised her hand, "I can use the camera to shoot in reverse for thirty seconds, and I can see what happened in the past!"
"This is an amazing superpower, ma'am!" Michael exclaimed again.
Lu Ning listened and began to narrow her eyes.
Leaving aside the abilities of the servants, if the abilities of the people we found this time are real, how come they all have investigative abilities by such a coincidence?
The last free singer's ability is also able to distinguish a very wide range of sounds, and even if he wants to, he can hear frequencies beyond the range of the human ear. In a sense, this is also an investigative superpower.
Of course, Lu Ning's invisibility ability was also accepted by everyone. After all, when it comes to this ability, one knows how useful it is for tracking and the like.
"It's incredible. After Miss Lu Ning hid, even I couldn't find her connection." After Michael tested his ability, he discovered Lu Ning's perfect hiding effect. In fact, Jing Ming hid all the trace lines 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 take action tonight. Maybe we can find this place tomorrow." The true identity of the master..."

Next day, in the early morning of December 29th, when Lu Ning woke up, she heard the sound of something small hitting the window. She got up and opened the curtains, and found that it was snowing heavily outside the window. The snow particles knocked on the window, and soon accumulated a layer outside, and the scenery outside was almost blocked by the heavy snow.
Blizzard Villa is completely consistent.
Lu Ning shook her head, got up and went out to get some breakfast. The action last night actually had nothing to do with her, and she didn't think it would be so easy to find out the identity of the owner. Pan Kai had just learned about everyone's abilities, 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 control these cameras from a distance to shoot in the desired direction.
He asked everyone about their abilities because he needed to find a good way to lure out the "owner" of the villa. And the free singer immediately came up with an idea: "Since the master has something he doesn't want us to do, as long as we do the opposite, won't he have to show up?"
This person was a bit careless, but others were silent about it. In the end, the singer who proposed the idea muddleheadedly accepted it with Pan Kai's praise. He didn't have much ability to distinguish, and he didn't realize how dangerous it was to his life.
As planned, the singer would have thrown the flowers out of her room this morning.
She walked down the stairs and saw Meng Juan reading a newspaper in the living room while eating.
"Hello." Meng Juan raised his head when he heard the footsteps and said hello to Lu Ning. After Lu Ning said good morning, she glanced at the newspaper: "Has today's newspaper been delivered on time?"
Newspapers and some fresh supplies from Hongmei Pavilion are delivered from the bottom of the mountain by cable car every day, but the weather today is a bit too bad.
"When I got up and came down to eat, the morning newspaper was already on the shelf over there." Meng Juan gestured, "It should have been brought by our dedicated servants. I saw that there were Some moisture should be water stains left after the snow melts away.”
There was more than one newspaper. Lu Ning walked over and took a look. There were indeed some water marks remaining. At this time, Jin Xiuqing happened to be passing by with a pile of clothes, and Lu Ning stopped her and asked.
"Qu Langyue has always been responsible for retrieving newspapers, and it should be her today." Jin Xiuying said.
"Please allow me to express my respect. In such a wind and snow, it is still nearly a hundred meters away 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. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Are the daily newspapers brought up together with the letters?"
"It should be said that Qu Langyue is responsible for transporting everything brought up by Yamashita back to the museum. Sometimes Tian Xiao will help if there are too many things. Usually these two are the only ones responsible for this. Is there any problem? Guest?"
"that's all, thanks."
Lu Ning sat down and started eating breakfast, but this breakfast was not peaceful. At around 8:10, 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 some unfortunate news... Just now, Ye Yunmei, who was cleaning the bedroom, found Mr. Pan Kai dead in his bedroom."
