He has an ability that is so powerful that it is difficult to understand, but he is not an esper.

So, what is this supposed to be?

Professor Bai The conversation in the office did not explain this question, but the answer seemed to be extremely clear.

In the test of individual soldier abilities, there are still several pieces of information that have not been analyzed.

Each one is aimed at testing the individual soldier's abilities in various aspects, whether it is mysterious or known.

Such as that twisted ability.

This is the first time the capabilities of the individual soldier "Spider-type" have been determined, codenamed "Sister".

According to the information from Kindling City's intelligence personnel, Qinggang has obtained a piece of surveillance camera data called "Human Spider Web", so Mr. Su, Minister Shen and others also saw the huge "spider web" covering the entire Fire Center City.

Although there is no direct evidence from the picture to prove that this spider web was woven by a single soldier, according to the surveillance video of the individual soldier moving freely on the spider web, as well as the active combat cooperation shown by the spider web when he arrived at the stadium in the later stage and fought against certain monsters, it is enough to confirm that this giant spider web is inseparable from him.

So, this surveillance video content that has amazed Spider-type ability users all over the world is also a manifestation of the ability of an individual soldier?

A fourth-level Spider-type?

This is simply unimaginable, because Spider-type is just a manifestation of the dominant power at a certain level.

Compared with other abilities, Spider-type has always been too superficial and lacks the ability to conceal, cover and spread.

In Qinggang's previous research, someone once said that Spider-type is the most difficult ability to reach the fourth level.

A single soldier actually has this ability?

"The researchers' intuition was correct."

Regarding the suspicion that there was a question mark on the test report, Professor Bai directly answered in the affirmative.

Without further explanation, he looked at the next page of the report.

What is recorded above is about an unknown mysterious ability of Lu Xin.

It has not been named, but it has been accurately detected. This ability has the effect of destroying all spiritual power in contact.

He looked at it for a long time before speaking in a low voice:

"It is difficult for Spider-type to reach the capabilities of Fourth Stage. Even Third Stage is only suitable for crowded environments."

"So, I have reason to suspect that some spiritual powers are distorted and changed in some way when they are connected with individual soldiers."

"As for the source of this distortion and change, perhaps it is this..."

"The true essence is also the origin of his code name 'Tyrant'..."

"..."

"Tyrant?"

Minister Shen and Mr. Su became excited after hearing these two words: "What exactly does it refer to?"

As early as when Lu Xin fought against the attack of Sea Nation S-level ability user, Professor Bai had already mentioned these two words in excitement.

But Professor Bai did not explain to them afterwards.

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't have to explain it to you."

Professor Bai took a deep breath and said, "This involves a secret agreement."

Minister Shen's facial lines were all tense, and he couldn't help but say, "This is not the time when you first arrived in Qinggang... what's the secret?"

Professor Bai said, "The secret about us peeking into Eclipse Research Institute's high-level secrets."

"?"

Mr. Su and Minister Shen were both confused. "What the hell?"

"Think about it..."

Professor Bai said with some helplessness, "When we were studying at Research Institute, it was exactly when Research Institute was experiencing all kinds of chaos."

"Some people jumped from a hundred-story building, and some people stole the entire laboratory and the advanced experimental subjects inside. Unfortunately, our level was too low at that time. We didn't even know what happened. We only knew that the entire laboratory was in serious chaos."

"As a young researcher with ideals and ambitions..."

He paused and said, "How can I live up to my curiosity if I don't peek at some secrets?"

Mr. Su and Minister Shen were both stunned, looking at each other, and thinking in their hearts, "Can this matter be explained by curiosity?"

"This is obviously a violation of discipline, right?"

"..."

"I really didn't dare to say it before..."

Professor Bai also thought for a while before sighing softly, "But it doesn't matter now. The trouble caused by the single soldier is getting bigger and bigger. The more people pay attention to him, some secrets about him are no longer secrets. Of course, I no longer have the risk of leaking secrets."

"... Well, at least you don't have to worry about Research Institute sending a high-level arrest team to take me back!"

"..."

As he spoke, he took a long breath, corrected his attitude, and said, "Tyrant is a code name."

"The code name of an experimental subject."

"This represents a unique spiritual power."

"Eclipse Research Institute in the Beginning once found some experimental subjects in order to study the mutation of spiritual power."

"They are all deeply contaminated children. They can also be said to be samples of the Beginning."

"From them, Research Institute extracted and analyzed a variety of different abilities and mental powers, which also helped us build the earliest ability system table. Whether it is Eclipse Research Institute, Technological Church, or laboratories everywhere, they have all benefited greatly from them."

"It can be said that those children were discovered and selected by Research Institute as the most potential capable people."

"And among those experimental subjects, there is one child who is the most special. His code name is Tyrant."

"And his ability is..."

After a pause, Professor Bai said softly, "... No ability."

Mr. Su and Minister Shen, including Chen Jing who was listening as an assistant, were suddenly confused. "No ability?"

"Yes."

Professor Bai nodded slightly and said, "He has no ability, just like an ordinary person."

"But compared with real ordinary people, he obviously has many abnormal behaviors."

"Through researchers' observation of him, we can find that he is very quiet and honest, and does not speak for a long time."

"Except for sometimes showing an unusually strong sense of loneliness, he seemed like an ordinary kid."

"However, he seems to have no emotions, no rich mood swings, and no ordinary desires."

"Sometimes he looks at the world curiously and shows a little desire to imitate, and sometimes he seems not to care about anything."

"..."

Professor Bai said, he also frowned.

After a pause, he continued:

"He was very cooperative when various related experiments were conducted on him, which seemed to make him appear weak."

"But researchers soon discovered that he was cooperating because he was curious."

"Curious what these people are going to do to him, and curious about their purpose."

"Just like other children who will be afraid and resist when faced with needles and injections, he will not."

"He would only look at the needles that were inserted into his blood vessels and slowly draw out the blood, or at the shiny foils on his body, at the instruments showing various lines around him, and at the staff, with curious eyes..."

"Ordinary people won't feel anything special when they look at him. He seems to be just an ordinary person."

"But when people with abilities come into contact with him, they often show strange hostility and awe towards him."

"It was only later that the researchers discovered the reason why these ability users were afraid of him."

"Although he has no abilities, when in contact with other ability users, he always easily suppresses them, even..."

"... Kill."

"..."

Professor Bai even paused for a moment before saying, "What needs to be noted is:"

"Under normal contact, he rarely showed his anger. Even when he was knocked to the ground by some hostile children, he would just sit on the ground and wipe the blood from his nostrils, showing a curious and even excited expression."

"But when he has the desire to hurt or kill someone, no one can stop him."

"All the researchers and security personnel can't stop it."

"Everyone could only watch helplessly as he killed another experimental subject."

"..."

"..."

"The most important thing is..."

At the end of the sentence, he exhaled softly and said, "After he killed those experimental subjects, there will be researchers who will try to question him and ask him why he had the desire and action to harm or kill other spiritual bodies..."

"He didn't answer, he just smiled."

"But researchers got the answer from his smile. He killed those experimental subjects..."

"... just out of curiosity!"

"..."

Mr. Su and Minister Shen couldn't help but tremble slightly after hearing this.

If they remember correctly, what Professor Bai is talking about now is a child...

The kid who doesn't blink an eye and kills other experimental subjects out of curiosity and no one can stop him.

Is this an experimental subject or a monster?

"I saw this child's information at the time, and that's all it was."

Professor Bai shook his head slightly and said, "But it was enough to leave a deep impression on me, and I remembered his code name:"

"Tyrant."

"..."

After saying this, he was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said, "He should be a very special experimental subject."

"Central City previously shared relevant information about Zero Ability User."

"When I first saw the introduction of Zero Ability User, I thought of this child."

"I am fully confident that the creation of Zero Ability User is based on the experimental data and mental strength analysis obtained from this child. You can even understand that all Zero Ability User are a poor copy and imitation of this child..."

"..."

Hearing this secret, Mr. Su and Minister Shen found it difficult to remain calm, and hurriedly asked, "What happened next?"

"I basically know as much as you do about what happened next."

Professor Bai said, "The escaped laboratory incident occurred, and the original Zero Ability User was also among the missing experimental subjects."

"Later, a Crimson Moon Orphanage appeared in our Qinggang, and then the orphanage exploded."

"Later, we observed Mental Mutant and recruited him."

"..."

"However, an individual soldier is completely different from the child you just described..."

Minister Shen couldn't help but said, "First, he is not Zero Ability User, second, his personal moral character is good, and third..."

He paused for a moment before saying, "This body has a lot of bad habits. It doesn't look like a creature with no emotions at all..."

"Because of this, it took me a while to determine this."

Professor Bai said, "I peeked at the information about this 'tyrant' at that time, and it was incomplete."

"Just remembering the kid's characteristics and his relationship to the escaped lab."

"However, after experiencing more incidents together, I gradually became convinced."

"The child with the codename 'Tyrant' should be the individual soldier today."

"It's just that, for some reason, this child has grown up and has changed a lot..."

"Right now, we don't know how he came about all these changes."

"But we believe that the 'tyrant' who once had no emotions and had an extreme personality may be inside him..."

"..."

"You..."

Minister Shen suddenly realized a problem and lost his voice. "You don't mean to say..."

"The appearance of a single soldier now is all just an act, right?"

"..."

Faced with this question, Professor Bai remained silent for a long time before gently shaking his head. "I hope so."

"Because if this were not the case, it would be difficult for me to understand how anyone could make such a big change in him..."

"It is also impossible to imagine how this child with humanity could carry the power of a tyrant and live quietly for so many years. Of course, there is no way of knowing how such a fragile humanity can continue to carry such terrifying power and continue to live."
