"I'm sorry, but we've decided to take you back..." The police officer's expression was apologetic.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as you get us back to the academy before midnight, we can cooperate with you until then," Lin Pei said nonchalantly. Leng Yihan was a little disappointed; it seemed she wouldn't be able to get any information about the murderer, since they looked like they were ready to take Lin Pei and the others away immediately.

"Yes, sir, please move aside."

"Oh, sorry." Leng Yihan quickly stepped aside, but two sudden system notifications gave him a bad feeling.

[Analysis complete. Ability acquired: Eagle Eye]

[Analysis complete. Ability gained: Sound wave sensing]

“What…” Leng Yihan almost exclaimed in surprise, looking up at her surroundings, but she didn’t see anyone.

"Did someone use superpowers on me or something...? Who is it..." Leng Yihan thought, "Since you've already given me your skills... I'll reluctantly use them to find you..."

Sound wave sensing!

Next, the others also came up, but seeing Leng Yihan silently looking at the police, although they were puzzled, they did not interrupt him because of his focused expression.

As Leng Yihan sensed the sounds around her, she naturally realized that her teammates had arrived. Watching Lin Pei hand the knife to the police officer and put it into a box, Leng Yihan smiled, put her right hand behind her back, and activated her ability to teleport.

With her teammates providing cover, Leng Yihan grabbed the knife, while simultaneously disabling her sonic sensing ability, because she had gained absolutely nothing...

"Did they use two superpowers on me at the same time...? There are actually people who have two superpowers at once... or are there two people?" As Leng Yihan was thinking, she handed the knife to Taiyang. Taiyang naturally understood and took it, activating his superpower to transform.

[Analysis complete. Ability gained: Shapeshifting]

So, solar energy can be used on objects too...

Seeing that the knife had been turned into an ordinary drink, Taiyang calmly put it into the bag containing CDs.

"Lin Han?" Watching the police leave, Leng Yihan was also about to leave. She figured the side quest would refresh soon, and then she would just have to wait for the second side quest. Just as she was about to turn around and tell her teammates that she was leaving, she heard someone call her name again.

Just as Leng Yihan was wondering why people kept calling her lately, she turned around and saw, well, it was Ye Shi and Li Qin...

"Really... what are you doing here?" Li Qin looked puzzled upon seeing them. "Oh, we're here to buy things. By the way, let me introduce you..."

"Not interested." Ye Shi interrupted Leng Yihan without any politeness, but Leng Yihan didn't mind, as this would save her a lot of trouble.

"What are you doing here? Could it be... a secret date?" Leng Binglan stepped forward and interjected. The other four didn't know how to respond, after all, they had just been treated rather rudely.

Taking advantage of the moment when Leng Binglan was talking to the two, Leng Yihan turned around and winked at Lin Yin, signaling them to follow. Lin Yin understood and nodded in response. After whispering something to the three people next to her, the four of them bypassed Leng Yihan and followed the road the police had taken.

"It's not a date... If you keep talking like this, I reckon Ye Shi is going to beat me to death. I can't beat her."

"What...did you say?" Ye Shi pinched Li Qin's waist, and Li Qin's face changed. She quickly begged for mercy: "Stop, stop, stop! What did I do now..." After finally breaking free from Ye Shi's hand, Li Qin gasped and rubbed her wound.

"Buy something." Ye Shi looked at Leng Binglan's face and said expressionlessly.

“Right, right… Ye Shi wants to buy things, I’ll be the porter…” Li Qin added, “Then we’ll be going now… But this corpse is really an eyesore… I feel nauseous, I have no appetite…” Li Qin was also a bit of a repressed person, and her originally quiet nature became more pronounced after the group got to know each other.

"Okay, we'll be going now, bye-bye." Leng Yihan.

"Bye-bye." After parting ways with the two, Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan brushed past Ye Shi, activated their sonic sensors to confirm the locations of the others, and then immediately rushed over.

“Brother…don’t you find it strange?” Leng Binglan suddenly said on the way.

"What's wrong?" Leng Yihan asked casually.

"Why is Ye Shi here... and she seems to have no reaction to that corpse..." Leng Binglan.

"Isn't the character supposed to be a 'three-no' character (no background, no connections, no social status)? This is still considered normal, right..." Leng Yihan.

"But what about Li Qin? Don't you think they look like they're acting?" Leng Binglan asked. This time, Leng Yihan didn't answer immediately, but lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds. "It seems... it really does look a bit like it?"

Thinking back to their brief conversation a few seconds ago, it did seem like a performance by the two of them in front of Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan. Li Qin didn't seem like someone who would talk that much; it was indeed a bit strange...

“And the most important point is…” Leng Binglan frowned, “Can the first clue, ‘Under the full moon, a person recites poetry,’ be interpreted as something as straightforward as ‘reciting poetry at night’? Then, ‘reciting poetry at night’… ‘Night Poetry’, ‘night’ sounds like ‘leaf’, is it possible that Ye Shi is one of the BOSSes…”

138 Super Power Academy (16)

"You must have peeked at the script..." Leng Yihan retorted after listening silently to Leng Binglan's analysis, "But I have to say, the accuracy rate is extremely high."

“Yes.” Leng Binglan nodded. “Remember? In the system’s introduction at the beginning, they were also called domestic violence punishers. If I had to guess… that girl was probably the deceased’s mother, and they probably had frequent domestic violence incidents, which is why they took action…”

Ye Shi may have used some method to kill his mother along with other mother-killers, and then instigated the little girl to whip the corpse, in order to avenge the little girl's long-accumulated resentment towards her mother, while also shifting the blame for the incident onto the girl... After all, the corpse had been badly damaged, and it would probably be difficult to see the original fatal wounds.

That seems to explain why Ye Shi is here... She acted out a scene after killing someone and seeing us, but it seems like she overdid it...

"But what I'm more curious about is, if that's the case, what method did Ye Shi use to kill the victim in public without anyone noticing, while simultaneously inciting the girl to attack her own mother..." Leng Binglan analyzed.

"Do you think Li Qin is the mother-killer?" Leng Yihan suddenly thought of Li Qin, who was close to Ye Shi. "I can't be sure. Ye Shi's identity as the mother-killer is probably secure. And even if Li Qin isn't the mother-killer, he definitely knows Ye Shi's identity." Leng Binglan said, and the system notification suddenly sounded.

Find the mother killer in the superpower academy.

Progress: (1/3)

“Very good, now we know that one of the mother killers is Ye Shi... but isn’t Li Qin one of them? Why isn’t she showing up…” Leng Yihan.

“We can try to monitor Ye Shi as much as possible and see who she’s in contact with the most. But no wonder Ye Shi is so strong… I’m afraid the power inherited by the Killer Mother is really very strong…” Leng Binglan said, and the two walked quickly. Before long, they found the four people who were cautiously following the police.

"You guys are being too obvious..." Seeing the four people acting guilty for no apparent reason, still standing close together, Leng Yihan walked up helplessly and patted Lin Yin on the shoulder at the back.

"Hey? Xiaohan, you're here..." Lin Yin turned her head, her eyes a little nervous.

"Tsk... Be more open and aboveboard, that way it'll be easier to get caught." Leng Yihan said helplessly.

Side quest completed.

[Clue obtained: The sun rises, and the three waters are of one mind. (One of the mother-killers)]

The side quests have been refreshed.

The little girl, Qi Qiyue, has already been sentenced, but she has something you need: an infrared detector... You know what to do, right?

Progress: (0/1)

"Okay... If only I had Li Qin's abilities right now... But this hint is too obvious, isn't it? The sun is rising at dawn, and Li Qin is all I want to say. I was just thinking about whether you already have evidence..." Leng Yihan complained.

Find the mother killer in the superpower academy.

Progress: (2/3)

"So, Li Qin was the one who killed the mother?" Lin Yin blinked. "When did you guys confirm that...?"

"Binglan just explained it to me, like this..." Leng Yihan then relayed Leng Binglan's analysis to the others, who seemed to have no intention of rescuing Qi Qiyue.

Infrared detectors... what are they even for... Leng Yihan frowned as he thought to himself. At times like this, he always wished he had the brains of a male protagonist in a novel, so he could see through everything at a glance and not be bothered by every clue.

"Oh right, there's also that clue about converting to hexadecimal... Have you figured it out yet?" Leng Yihan suddenly remembered, but such a simple formula... she believed that the others had already figured it out.

“I already figured it out,” Taiyang said. “The answer is 1B, but I don’t know if it’s Class B in the first year of high school or Class B in the first year of junior high.”

“Class B, Grade 11,” Leng Binglan said confidently. “We have to trust the system. When it was scheduling us, it must have put us in the class where Killer Mom was.”

“For example, since two people have already been identified, wouldn’t that mean my brother and I are in Class E?” Leng Binglan said logically and convincingly. Since what Leng Binglan said made sense, no one objected.

"Senior...do you have any impressions? Someone who likes ACG?" Leng Yihan looked at Jun Qingshui from Class B of the first year of high school and saw that she was thinking very carefully.

"Well... I don't really remember either," Jun Qingshui looked up and scratched his head sheepishly.

"It's alright, there's no rush. The time frame is such that not much time has passed outside, we can wait until tomorrow." Since Leng Yihan wasn't worried about not knowing, she should now think about how to abduct Qi Qiyue from this group.

Looking at the fully armed security guards, Leng Yihan felt a little helpless. They were all unarmed. If Lin Yin had a weapon, she might be able to hold her own against them...

It's unknown how long it would take to prepare for spatial teleportation on a person, how far it could travel, how many times it could be used, whether there's a chance of failure, and whether the person could escape after being rescued.

"If only I had Li Qin's invisibility..." Leng Yihan muttered. Of course, he wouldn't have that skill anyway, since he couldn't analyze anything if Li Qin wasn't nearby to use it...

Wait... I have other superpowers too...

-

"What kind of superpowers could it possibly have...?"

Leng Yihan pushed open the door to the dean's office and walked in expectantly. Murong Xiao and Dean Mei were both sitting in their seats, and when they saw Leng Yihan's arrival, a mysterious light flashed in their eyes.

"You've arrived right on time. I'd like to ask you, what do you think your superpower is?" Murong Xiao suddenly asked. Hearing Murong Xiao's question, Leng Yihan was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't know, there's no sign at all, I can't tell at all," Leng Yihan said with a wry smile.

"What would you think if I told you... your superpower is 'nothing'?" Murong Xiao asked again.

Hearing this, Leng Yihan was initially disappointed, but then he suddenly realized something was wrong. Normally, they should have said I didn't have superpowers, so why...?

none?

"My superpower is... 'None'?" Leng Yihan asked again uncertainly. Even though he didn't quite understand what it meant, he could sense that this ability was not simple.

“Yes! ‘Nothingness’ means not just the absence of anything, but also infinite possibilities. Such a superpower has only appeared once in history, and it was extremely incomplete, described in just one sentence.” Murong Xiao paused as she spoke, “‘Those who possess nothingness, although they do not have superpowers, also possess superpowers, because they can have the superpowers of anyone.’ I remember that sentence was probably just taken as a joke at the time. I doubt anyone knew that it was actually true, something the author witnessed firsthand, right?”

"Then... how did you know, Teacher Murong?" Leng Yihan asked subconsciously, but Murong Xiao did not answer, only smiled with the corners of her mouth raised.

"Little guy... do you know what my ability is?" Dean Mei suddenly interjected. Leng Yihan naturally knew that this was to help him out of a tight spot, but Leng Yihan really didn't know what his ability was.

"I don't know," Leng Yihan answered honestly.

"Is that so...? That's normal, after all, I rarely use my superpowers in public. My power is... veto."

"No...?" Leng Yihan was a little confused. She saw Dean Mei pick up a glass of water from the table, as if he was about to give Leng Yihan a demonstration.

“I veto it… When this bottle of water is turned upside down, the water can flow out.” Dean Mei said, turning the glass upside down but the water didn’t flow out. Leng Yihan squatted down to take a look, and the water inside was still normal, just like when the glass was placed upright as shown in the picture.

"Now, give it a try. Think about it carefully, and you can do it too." Dean Mei said, putting down the water glass and handing it to Leng Yihan.

...Is that so? Then let's give it a try.

Leng Yihan picked up the water glass and, mimicking Dean Mei, said, "No, the water will spill out when the glass is turned upside down!"

[Superpower 'None' activated.]

[Analysis complete. Ability acquired: Deny]

The water didn't flow out. Leng Yihan was a little surprised and shook it vigorously. A lot of water splashed out, but it was just like shaking a glass of water when it's sitting still; water was bound to splash out.

"Oh, by the way, shall I tell you, Murong Xiao's ability is..." Dean Mei stopped speaking, and Leng Yihan put down her water glass and turned to look at Murong Xiao.

“My ability is… spatial imprisonment.” Murong Xiao said, raising her hand and pointing at Leng Yihan, then withdrawing it.

Although she didn't feel any change, Leng Yihan still heard the system notification sound.

[Analysis complete. Ability gained: Spatial Imprisonment]

"This ability?"

"Try walking out of here," Murong Xiao said slowly, picking up the water glass on the table and taking a sip.
