Chapter 1523: Competing with Water Company
Mind control is the most effective and covert trump card strategy that Vought Corporation uses against people with super powers.

It not only deprives these super-powered people of the ability to think independently, but also affects their intellectual development to some extent.

In TV dramas, we often see these characters with extraordinary powers showing ridiculous "stupid attributes" at certain critical moments. Behind this may be the by-product of Walter's long-term ideological indoctrination and psychological manipulation.

"Let me think, how should I play it?"

There was a gleam of excitement in Chang Wei's eyes. He was full of curiosity and desire to explore Water Company's series of operations.

In his view, the world constructed by Water is both a huge laboratory and a complex playground, which contains infinite possibilities of the interweaving of human nature, power, capital and technology.

"This world is wrong, I must correct it!"

Chang Wei thought with evil humor.

The fate of the low-level super-powered people who are manipulated by the Vought Corporation in the play is like a prism, reflecting the dark side of society.

Water Corporation, this huge and ruthless giant, uses the mysterious substance Compound No. 5 to sow the future in the blood of children like God - superpowers.

They sign seemingly fair contracts with ignorant or greedy parents, injecting hope and curse into those innocent hearts.

However, just like the mutant community in the X-Men world, super powers are not a gift that is equally bestowed upon the vast majority of people, with the vast majority only possessing insignificant powers. Some people may even go their entire lives without ever realizing the strange energy hidden within their bodies.

Water Company's screening mechanism is cold and efficient, like a huge blind box game.

In this casino called "Potential", people with super powers and their destinies are placed randomly, waiting for the moment to be opened.

Those lucky ones who have both superpowers and excellent personalities will be carefully carved and packaged into glamorous superheroes, becoming the stars that the public looks up to. Their images are carefully shaped, and every smile and every punch is carefully designed, just to satisfy the public's infinite imagination of heroes.

As for personal character, it is nothing but a cloud and seems insignificant compared to the business interests of Vought Company.

Those who have outstanding superpowers but inappropriate personalities are like mice in the laboratory. Their existence only provides materials for scientific research, and the value of life is simplified to data and samples.

As for those with likable personalities but mediocre superpowers, Vought Company has adopted a more subtle strategy - letting them go.

They are released into every corner of society, and whether they can stand out in the cruel real world and become the next superstar depends entirely on their personal luck.

Such a strategy not only maintains the positive image of the company, but also cleverly avoids unnecessary waste of resources.

Thus, on the fringes of society, a group of forgotten people with super powers are walking on the edge of survival.

They have been brainwashed by Vought Corporation's propaganda since childhood, know little about the operation of a normal society, and lack the necessary survival skills.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, they can often only rely on their little fame on the Internet to barely make a living.

The Claw Girl, the lover of the Super Seven member Locomotive, is a microcosm of this huge group. She was once a girl with dreams, but because of her inadequate superpowers and straightforward personality, she eventually fell into poverty and could not even meet the most basic housing needs. As a result, she could only sell herself to "communicate" with the landlord to avoid rent, but because of her excessive excitement, she sat on the landlord to death.

"A world where the strong prey on the weak is essentially an extension of the law of the jungle. It should be led and ruled by those who stand at the pinnacle of power!"

Chang Wei has quietly taken control of the top of America's power pyramid, carefully woven a glamorous identity for himself, and personally created an unprecedented special department - the Black Chapter Department.

In this era deeply marked by the Vought Corporation, people with super powers, who once existed only in fantasy, have become pawns and darlings in the Vought Corporation's vast empire.

For decades, Vought has successfully used its powerful propaganda machine and sophisticated psychological manipulation to lead the public and even the super-powered people themselves to the following perception: joining Vought and gaining his favor is the only glory and destination for those with super-powers.

Compound No. 5, this mysterious liquid, has been injected into the bodies of super-powered people since they were young. It is both a source of power and a shackle that binds their fate tightly to Water's galloping chariot.

However, the appearance of Chang Wei, like an unpredictable hurricane, broke this seemingly indestructible balance.

He is the "abnormal" exception, a strong man who can still stand out under Walter's close surveillance.

The "Black Chapter Department" is a mysterious organization affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense. Its existence is unknown to the outside world, but it has absolute authority to deal with all matters related to humans with special abilities.

Its background is complex and intricate. It is closely linked to the Ministry of National Defense and deeply rooted in the huge military system. It is like a beast hiding in the dark, ready to extend its claws at any time.

For those who have a little insight, just one glance is enough to feel the power and deterrence that cannot be underestimated.

The headquarters of the Black Chapter Department is located in the heart of Manhattan, New York, in a towering skyscraper. It even has its own independent park, like a fortress isolated from the world.

It is impossible to verify what kind of organization this place was, but Chang Wei took a fancy to it and decided that it was his.

Water Corporation, the overlord of the super-power world, implements strict monitoring and management on every super-power user.

They implanted tracking chips in the bodies of the super-powered people, just like putting a bridle on every wild horse. No matter where these super-powered people are, they cannot escape Walter's eyes.

What Chang Wei needs is a team with super powers, but recruiting those low-level super-powered people who have been abandoned or ignored by Walter will undoubtedly touch Walter's sensitive nerves and cause unnecessary conflicts.

But will Chang Wei care?

So he issued a series of instructions, asking the Ministry of Defense and military personnel sent to assist him to start an unprecedented super-power recruitment operation in the official name.

These staff members, dressed in neat military uniforms or uniforms, shuttle through every corner of the city, from dark and damp underground bars to bizarre gathering places for people with special abilities, their presence is everywhere.

With Chang Wei's promise and hope, they extended an olive branch to those super-powered people who were ignored or excluded by Walter.
