《After I Transmigrated as A Mermaid, I Transmigrated Back (MTL)》24

Su Mingyue held down the earphone, glanced at Lin Bai, and asked softly, "Where is it?"
Lin Bai opened his tablet, and a small blue dot marked as a triangle lit up less than three hundred meters apart.
Zhao Xiaokui raised his head pretending to be looking around, sweeping the drones circling in the sky without a trace.
In her induction, three familiar auras were approaching her.
Lin Bai, Su Mingyue...there is another person who hasn't seen it, but is very familiar, who was in the car behind Shen Zhifei when she went home.
Several people were holding a strange instrument in their hands, and they seemed to be scanning something, but the way forward was clearly on the road of Zhao Xiaokui.
"Beep, no extraordinary power was detected."
"Beep, no extraordinary power was detected."
...
"Beep, extraordinary power detected."
Su Mingyue raised her head and saw Zhao Xiaokui who was standing not far away, looking up at the buildings on both sides, with a blank expression.
Her eyes fell on Zhao Xiaokui's feet, and her eyes flashed.
Zhao Xiaokui is wearing a pair of cloth shoes today, but stepping on the sewage that flows everywhere, her cloth shoes are not stained at all.
Obviously someone has used extraordinary powers to cut off contact with sewage because of cleanliness.
Su Mingyue couldn't help but think of a child's temperament after all, if he were really the kind of old and sleazy person, how could he expose himself for such trivial things.
"Zhao Xiaokui."
She yelled softly and saw Zhao Xiaokui, who was suddenly called to the name, turned her head in shock. After seeing her, her face showed a flustered expression, and she took a step back subconsciously, as if she wanted to escape. He held it back again, with a somewhat ugly smile on his face, "What a coincidence, Officer Su, you are also working here."
Su Mingyue wanted to laugh a little, but she held back, she asked softly: "What are you doing here?"
"I, I..." She obviously didn't think of any excuses, she faltered for a long time and couldn't say anything. It took a long time before she blushed, "I just happened to be passing by. I heard that this place is haunted, so I want to come over and take a look."
Lin Bai said meaningfully and authentically: "Passing by, then your detour is a little far away..."
The little girl in front of me obviously didn't lie very much. When he ridiculed him, her face was blushing, and she explained in anger; "I'm just curious. I saw the news in the newspaper. I wonder if I want to come over and check it out. ?"

Su Mingyue pinched Lin Bai and signaled him to speak less, don't scare people away, and followed Zhao Xiaokui's words and said, "Then have you seen a ghost?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaokui suddenly became dejected, "No."
Su Mingyue was not surprised that she got such an answer.
Although the transcendents could sense each other, Zhao Xiaokui was blocked by them too fast, and he hadn't walked a few places before.
This kind of induction is the same as the machine that tests the extraordinary energy in their hands, and also has a distance limit. Unless the extraordinary person happens to be nearby, Zhao Xiaokui can sense a ghost.
Besides, the entire area near Wangjiang Road was almost swept by night-crawlers with instruments. They only had to dig three feet to see if there are really ancient graves buried with extraordinary objects. In the end, nothing was achieved. They could only use the most stupid method, using crowded tactics, mobilizing colleagues in the public security system, and checking it from house to house.
They just came over with a tester just to pretend to be in front of Zhao Xiaokui.
"By the way, what is this?" Su Mingyue deliberately exposed the screen of the Extraordinary Detector in front of Zhao Xiaokui, which really aroused her curiosity and actively asked.
"This..." Su Mingyue smiled meaningfully, "It's something that detects special energy."
The little girl's expression stunned, and she stammered and asked, "Wh, what special energy?"
The discerning person can see her anxiety at a glance.
"It is mainly to detect a kind of high-energy radiation. When the distance between this instrument and the emitter is within 100 meters, it will issue a reminder."
The entanglement on the little girl's face can be seen by anyone with long eyes.
She looked at Su Mingyue, looking like she wanted to ask something, but she was afraid that the more she asked, the more she exposed.
Her eyes kept glancing at the Extraordinary Detector, trying to get a reassuring or resolute answer from the green images on the screen.
However, the dot-like prompts that should have appeared on the detector had long been turned off by Su Mingyue without a trace. When she went to look at it, she could only see a circle, shaped like a radar.
Su Mingyue said: "Since you came out to play, let's walk with us, maybe you will find a ghost?"
Gou Rixin took two steps forward and stood silently on Zhao Xiaokui's side. Seeing this attitude, Zhao Xiaokui didn't understand what else.
She pulled her skirt anxiously with her hand, wrinkled the little silk black dress, and subconsciously used the ability to control water to smooth it. Lin Bai and Gou Rixin, who constantly felt the extraordinary fluctuations, asked her. Taking a look at her hand, she noticed the eyes of the two people, their expressions became more and more tense, and tears filled their eyes.

"Okay, don't scare her." Su Mingyue said angrily to the two teammates. She gently wiped away the scared tears for Zhao Xiaokui and whispered, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad guys. We haven't seen them in the morning. Noodles? Don’t be nervous, we won’t do anything to you."
The more she said, the more tears Zhao Xiaokui's eyes fell.
Lin Bai sneered from the side, as if laughing at Su Mingyue's uselessness.
Su Mingyue glared at him, feeling a little helpless. Zhao Xiaokui's courage is a bit small, but it is understandable after thinking about it. A young girl who just graduated from high school woke up and found that she had skipped five years from the age of 18. Not to mention having become twenty-three years old, there are still some strange powers in her body. Thinking about it from another perspective, her own performance may not be any better than Zhao Xiaokui.
"Don't cry, don't cry, it won't look good when you cry. Good girl, don't be afraid. We are the people's police. You have seen our work permit. Our duty is to protect the people and we will not do anything to you."
Zhao Xiaokui sniffed and said, "Won't you take me to do human experiments?"
Su Mingyue wanted to laugh a little, but she answered seriously, "No."
"Then... will that lock me up?"
"will not."
"Hiccup." Zhao Xiaokui's tears stopped.
She stopped so fast that Su Mingyue didn't react at first.
She realized only afterwards that Zhao Xiaokui had scared herself just now, and scared herself into tears.
Su Mingyue couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you afraid of? You are extraordinary. I am not afraid of an ordinary person. You will be afraid first."
"Extraordinary?" Zhao Xiaokui keenly caught Su Mingyue's words.
In the mermaid language, the transcendent literally means life beyond the ordinary.
At that level, it is life, the lower level has no right to life, and the class is determined by the level. There is nothing wrong with using this term.
But in human society, Zhao Xiaokui originally thought that they would use the more neutral-sounding term "superior".
Su Mingyue mistakenly believed that she had never heard of transcendents, and explained: "The so-called transcendents refer to people who have the ability to surpass ordinary life levels like you. Such people are not common in the crowd, but 10,000 In individuals, there are always one or two people who will evolve to this level and possess some special abilities."
She blinked and said, "Actually, the two police officers next to me are extraordinary."
Zhao Xiaokui was so scared that he almost didn't jump up.
Gou Rixin did not lose his expression, and the corners of his mouth bend for a moment. Lin Bai stretched out his hand to Zhao Xiaokui, his face expressionless, his tone sounded like a robot, but his attitude was still friendly, "Hello, I am Lin Bai, and my brain has evolved."
Zhao Xiaokui looked at him curiously, holding his hand in a little fear and novelty, and shook it, "Hello, this is Zhao Xiaokui, water...water power evolves."
After shaking hands with Lin Bai, who seemed to be gentle, Zhao Xiaokui looked at Gou Rixin, who was a big five and three thick, bared his teeth, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, "You, hello."
Gou Rixin, who was bumped by Su Mingyue with an elbow, failed to hold his expression in front of Xin Chaofan. He laughed out loud and instantly changed from the underworld boss to a husky. He grinned with white teeth. : "Hello, I am Gou Rixin. The direction of evolution is smell."
Smell, what evolution direction is this?
In Zhao Xiaokui's view, Lin Bai's brain domain evolution is actually a manifestation of mental power evolution that has not been fully developed.
For example, now, she could feel a layer of mental power lingering around Lin Bai's body, like smoke and mist, and when these mental powers could condense into a barrier, it would be the day when Lin Bai broke through the first order.
And Gou Rixin...
His mental power is not outstanding, at least he is not able to release it like Lin Bai. His body is strong, but it is not difficult to see that this is an effect achieved after a lot of training, rather than a manifestation of his own extraordinary strength.
There was an extraordinary person who had evolved from the mental system standing beside him. Zhao Xiaokui didn't dare to scan Gou Rixin's body with his mental power, so he just looked at it a little more and seemed a little curious.
Gou Rixin touched his nose, obviously he didn't feel that his extraordinary ability could be used.
If it hadn't been for the bonus to physical fitness, he wouldn't be able to get into the Night Holding Team at all.
After getting to know the two transcendents, Zhao Xiaokui asked dryly: "I, I just come over and take a look and want to know what happened here, but I didn't do anything bad...Can I go now?"

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
