A pet catches a pet to raise.

Ye Jiang eventually followed her out the door and got into Yu Qingyi's car. Yu Qingyi, sitting in the driver's seat, turned to look at her several times, trying to persuade her to go back. Ye Jiang simply turned her head and urged her, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Yu Qingyi: "..."

She started the car.

The Ability Control Bureau issued a curfew notice, and upon receiving the notice, almost no one lingered outside. As a result, City A was unusually quiet tonight, and the entire city was gripped by a tense atmosphere, with even the night breeze carrying a sense of anxiety.

Silence filled the car.

Yu Qingyi drove with her eyes fixed ahead. She was used to going out at night, but she was always alone, always bearing the loneliness that overwhelmed her. But tonight, there was someone else in the passenger seat.

Her friend is there.

A complex mix of feelings welled up inside her, filling her entire being, leaving no room for loneliness.

"I heard that Jiangjiang was quite dazzling in this ' Pollution-Hunting Competition '," Yu Qingyi said. "Everyone's saying you're A-Rank ability user."

A voice denied it. "I'm not, I'm just D-Rank."

"Huh, what's going on...?"

"Because I'm not an ordinary superhuman, the Ability Control Bureau says I'm special."

"Is that so?"

"Um."

Yu Qingyi exclaimed, "I see! Jiangjiang is really amazing!"

She was just an ordinary person and didn't know much about people with superpowers, but she knew that standing out as a D-level student and winning first place in the competition was no ordinary feat.

That's special...

How much does one's physique change after awakening from an ordinary person into a powerful superhuman? Will it... become completely different from before?

Yu Qingyi glanced at the Blood Moon symbol on her friend's finger in the passenger seat, momentarily lost in thought. Her emotions were suddenly dragged into a gloomy mood, and the heartfelt joy for her friend's excellence was diluted somewhat. She gripped the steering wheel slightly harder.

Bang!

A Polluted suddenly appeared out of nowhere, stomping on the roadside guardrail and using the momentum to lunge at the car. Yu Qingyi was startled and before she could react, a gust of wind blew in her face. Ye Jiang, in the passenger seat, opened the window, grabbed the Polluted by the neck with one hand, twisted it, and the Polluted's neck bone broke. Then she released her grip, and the Polluted's body fell to the ground, left behind by the moving car.

The wind was still blowing, stiffening Yu Qingyi's face and dispelling the unclear emotions in her heart.

"... That's... that scary."

Her heart was pounding.

This was her first direct encounter with Polluted.

Ye Jiang rolled up the car window and said, "Don't be afraid."

He added, "I'll give them all to you from now on."

These words lingered in Yu Qingyi's mind for a moment. Perhaps because the wind blowing into the car had stopped, she felt a distinct warmth rising within her, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down because of those words. Unaware that a smile had crept onto her face, she said, "What are you saying? How could I trouble you every time? Why don't you just say you're tied to me? Encountering Polluted during missions is quite rare."

She said, "Our Logistics Team has defensive supernatural power items on hand, so nothing will happen. Those items aren't 100% effective, but at least they give us time to call for help from the bureau."

The Ability Control Bureau is also trying to protect the safety of its logistics personnel.

Ye Jiang was about to speak again when Yu Qingyi interrupted her, "Ah, we're almost there! I can see the warning line! Jiangjiang, hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"

Ye Jiang's words were abruptly cut off by a sudden push against her back. Ye Jiang: "."

The car stopped abruptly at an intersection. The two got out, Yu Qingyi said to Ye Jiang, "Thank you Jiangjiang, for bringing me here."

Ye Jiang looked at the police tape without replying; she didn't need Yu Qingyi's thanks. Yu Qingyi remembered something. "Jiangjiang, how are you going to get home? You can't even drive..."

Ye Jiang didn't think it was a problem, "I'll walk back."

"Walk?"

"Yeah, it's faster than you drive."

"..."

Yu Qingyi realized once again that her friend was no longer the same as before; she was now a powerful superhuman. She gazed at Ye Jiang for a long time, her thousand words finally condensing into just one sentence. "Then... Jiangjiang, be careful on your journey."

Ye Jiang said "Mm," telling her not to worry about her and to go to work. Yu Qingyi walked towards the cordon, and Ye Jiang watched her enter. She saw her colleagues inside the cordon greeting her, and she heard them talking about things like "friends," "strong," "number one," and "Healer." People inside the cordon looked at Ye Jiang, especially the two members of the Ability Control Bureau's Operations Team who remained at the scene. Their gazes were particularly intense as they waved to Ye Jiang from afar, making it seem as if they had grown some kind of fluffy tails behind them, their faces practically beaming with smiles.

Is it because they know she's a Healer?

The news that the winner of the Pollution-Hunting Competition held by Xingyi Technology possesses powerful healing abilities has already spread throughout the city. Those two members of the Ability Control Bureau's Operations Team must have realized that she is that powerful Healer, so they want to get close to her. Ye Jiang has already come to a deep understanding that healing-type ability users have an extremely high status in this world.

Ye Jiang didn't respond to the two members of the Ability Control Bureau's Operations Team, but seeing Yu Qingyi smiling brightly at her, she paused, practiced tugging at the corners of her mouth, wanting to return the smile. However, just as her lips stiffened into a slight upward curve, the two lively, waving Ability Control Bureau members suddenly froze. Before Ye Jiang could react, the two staggered forward and fell, hitting the cordon, which snapped and broke.

The crowd panicked and rushed forward to help the two people.

Ye Jiang darted over, and as soon as she got close, she heard two members say, their faces pale, "... Our ability... has been downgraded."

Ye Jiang stopped, her displeasure becoming increasingly apparent at that moment.

Yu Qingyi rushed to her side. "Jiangjiang, leave here, it's dangerous... No, don't go, stay here, don't move... I... you..."

She was rambling incoherently, and sweat beaded on her forehead.

Ye Jiang grabbed her hand and comforted her with her eyes. Yu Qingyi then came to her senses and gripped her hand tightly.

Ye Jiang did not leave the scene. The matter of her superpower being downgraded was too mysterious and filled with an eerie atmosphere. It was difficult to judge whether leaving or staying would be more dangerous, so Ye Jiang did not make a choice and naturally stayed.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Pei and Zhao Yi rushed over to the Ability Control Bureau and urgently questioned the two members of the Ability Control Bureau. However, just like previous cases, they obtained no useful information. Xiao Pei handed the two victims over to Zhao Yi and then looked around the scene. While looking around, she saw Ye Jiang and raised her eyes slightly. "You're here too?"

Yu Qingyi, seemingly afraid that Xiao Pei might have mistaken Ye Jiang for a suspect, quickly explained, "She's my friend. She brought me here. She was far away when the two members had the accident."

"Calm down," Xiao Pei said. "I was just a little surprised."

Yu Qingyi pursed her lips, gripping Ye Jiang's hand tightly, not fully trusting Xiao Pei.

Xiao Pei touched her nose and said to Ye Jiang, "Tell your friends what our relationship is?"

Ye Jiang tilted her head slightly. "What's our relationship?"

Xiao Pei's eye twitched. "You heartless bastard, after everything we've been through, don't you deserve a word of friendship from me?"

"Oh, they're friends." Ye Jiang told Yu Qingyi, her tone light and casual, as if she didn't care at all.

Xiao Pei: "..."

She muttered a curse under her breath, calling him heartless.

The atmosphere between the two was so relaxed, with a kind of intimate familiarity. Seeing this, Yu Qingyi lowered her guard, slowly loosened her grip, and gave Xiao Pei an embarrassed smile.

After a brief reminiscing session, Xiao Pei's relaxed expression vanished, replaced by a serious one as she surveyed her surroundings, exuding a tense atmosphere.

Four people have already done so: the heir of the Miao Family, Wu Jiangshui, B-Rank ability user, and a member of the Ability Control Bureau. What exactly took away their ability levels?

She looked up at the sky, where a bright moon hung high.

Is it... it?

Did "Moon" reclaim the superpowers of the ability users?

In the basement of the Ability Control Bureau, under blinding white light, in a cramped glass cubicle, a man huddled in a corner, head bowed, trying to avoid the bright light, looked dazed and muttered to himself. Suddenly, his eyelids twitched.

"I..."

"... special... of..."

"I am special."

The man's lips curled slightly, and beneath his drooping eyelids lay an unyielding arrogance.

Chapter 74 Pets: Catch a pet and raise it.

The forum for discussing Ability System.

Have you heard? Something terrible has happened in City A!

[Yun Hua harmed a superpowered individual? Reviewed. Take him away. Next.]

[I don't care about Yun Hua.]

[This isn't about Yun Hua Yun Hua; that kid's already been arrested and can't cause any trouble. It's about an incident in City A where the ability levels of some superhumans have dropped!]

[What?!]

[Can a superhuman's level drop? How is that possible?]

[I don't know, but something happened. I heard that the Miao Family heir's superpower dropped two levels, falling to D-Rank. She's the first victim. The Miao Family is shocked and has already sent people to City A. She's really unlucky; she participated in a meaningless amateur competition and ended up getting herself into trouble.]

[The first one? Are there others like this too?]

[Yes, four now, two of whom are members of the Ability Control Bureau.]

[Oh my god... I just checked my ability level, thankfully it hasn't dropped. I can't even imagine how terrible it would be if my ability level did drop.]

[How could my ability level drop? I've never heard of that before. Isn't this some kind of divine punishment for doing something wrong, resulting in the loss of some of my abilities?]

[Agreed, maybe that's true. God is selecting, eliminating those who aren't qualified with superpowers!]

[Don't talk nonsense. If that were true, shouldn't it be the villain Yun Hua whose powers were taken away? Why wasn't it the people from the Ability Control Bureau whose powers were reduced?]
