Chapter 1546: Imprisonment of Homelanders

In the face of the storm of public opinion from the outside world, the Black Chapter Department has always maintained a puzzling silence, as if those passionate accusations and doubts were nothing more than dust in the wind, which would disappear without a trace after a light brush.

They stick to their own code of conduct, and are not swayed by the outside noise. They only show their presence in an almost ritualistic way at critical moments. When Homelander, the once glorious superhero with extraordinary powers, chose to surrender and plead guilty in public, the Black Chapter finally intervened in the turmoil with an almost arrogant attitude.

They made no statement, no explanation, no excuse, they simply presented a document.

These certificates are significantly different from those of ordinary government departments. The most eye-catching thing is the large black seal stamped on them. This seal not only symbolizes the special identity of the holder, but is also a direct reflection of their institution: the Black Seal Department.

It is this unique black seal that gives the department a name that is both mysterious and majestic, and also makes the outside world full of endless speculation and awe about it.

The Black Chapter Department is a privileged organization jointly created by the Ministry of National Defense and the military. Its existence transcends the conventional legal framework and has its own set of operating logic.

In this country, the law is often seen as a shackle that constrains ordinary people, and for the Black Chapter Department, evidence is just an option for their actions, not a necessity.

"The American government has given us the power to arrest anyone without evidence."

These words came from the mouth of a member of the Black Chapter Department.

With such privileges, even intelligence agencies like the CIA seem powerless in the face of the strong intervention of the Black Chapter Department.

They had originally planned to conduct an in-depth interrogation of Homelander in order to gain more clues about the secrets behind superheroes, but all of this came to naught under the comprehensive blockade of the Black Chapter Department.

Not only did the Black Chapter Department ban all outside visits, it even turned a deaf ear to the strong accusations from the Water Company, demonstrating an independence that was almost arrogant.

This attitude undoubtedly made Edgar, the president of Water Company, feel unprecedented panic and helplessness.

The power of the Black Chapter Department was far beyond his imagination.

He tried to use the power of the board of directors and even mobilized the shareholder resources behind the company, hoping to exert influence on the Black Chapter Department, but all his efforts fell on deaf ears and no response was heard.

He began to realize that the power structure of this country was much more complicated than it seemed on the surface, and the Black Chapter Department was the behemoth hidden in the shadows. The stability of the Black Chapter Department's position and the huge power were beyond his imagination. Even the FBI in the Hoover era did not have such absolute authority and freedom.

On the surface, the Black Chapter Department is even better, because they can really ignore the laws of the United States. This has been personally certified by the Secretary of Defense, military generals and many generals.

This was not only tacitly approved by the Minister of Defense and senior military generals, but was even explicitly endorsed by them in certain public occasions.

This blatant exercise of privilege is undoubtedly a serious blow to the principles of democracy and the rule of law, but in the current political environment, it seems that no one dares to really stand up and question it.

Against this background, the situation of the "Fatherlanders" became increasingly difficult.

He is imprisoned in a seemingly indestructible prison whose walls are not made of ordinary building materials, but a composite material that incorporates the properties of non-Newtonian fluids.

When impacted by external force, this material can respond quickly and adjust its internal structure, converting the impact force into harmless heat energy or dispersing it to a wider area, making any form of violent breakthrough futile.

Even the "Homelander" with superhuman strength seemed powerless in front of this wall. Every blow he made seemed to hit an endless abyss without any echo. This kind of imprisonment day after day almost made his spirit collapse, as if he had returned to the dark days when he was imprisoned in the laboratory.

Looking back on those days, the researchers shot him with bullets, tested his skin strength with lasers, and tested his physical limits with fire. Each test was a double torture to his body and mind.

Now, although his body has grown into an almost invincible existence, those memories still follow him like a shadow, becoming an eternal pain in his heart.

What's worse is that the "Fatherlander" has a strong Oedipus complex deep in his heart, which makes him feel lonely and desperate when he loses his freedom and is away from Madeline.

He had been told that he would soon have a chance to go to court, where he might be able to have his sentence reduced or even avoid jail time.

However, as time passed, there was still no progress, which made his anger and anxiety spread like wildfire and was difficult to contain.

He had fantasized countless times about regaining his freedom.

However, the reality was like a cruel joke. As time went on, not only did he not see any progress, but he felt more and more deception and betrayal.

Those who once promised to help him now seem to have disappeared without a trace, leaving only endless waiting and despair.

Finally, on a silent night, the "Fatherlander" could no longer endure this oppression and despair. He angrily smashed the wall, hoping to vent his dissatisfaction and pain in this way.

But the wall completely absorbed his power, and Homelander could do nothing.

In this process, the Oedipus complex of the native is infinitely magnified. He longs to see Madeleine and to get her understanding and comfort, but the reality separates him from all these beautiful things.

He began to doubt himself and question the value of his life and the meaning of his existence.

In this isolated dungeon, he seemed to have returned to his helpless and vulnerable childhood, the poor child who was used as an experimental subject by scientific researchers and abandoned by the world.

And all this is exactly what Chang Wei hopes to see.

He wanted to make his motherland collapse completely and make him completely lose trust and hope in the world.

"Lie to me, you are all lying to me..."

"Homelander" hunched over, muttering the names of Madeline and Water Company. He firmly believed that he had been deceived by them.

Those who once promised to help him have now become his worst enemies.

He recalled the words he was taught, those words that seemed to be able to defend him, but now they have become the deepest irony in his heart.
