Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

So naturally, they set their sights on those wild, naturally awakened superhumans. However, it seems their methods were rather crude.

Because Colonel Django, with his long braid, was unaware of Zhao Hao's identity as a Sense8, Zhao Hao pretended that he hadn't discovered Chris's Sense8 identity at all.

His own psionic fluctuations were well concealed; even the Bureau of Mysteries' testing equipment couldn't detect them without him using psionic energy, and the other party didn't notice either.

Zhao Hao left quickly, following the trail to find Chris.

Zhao Hao originally didn't intend to get involved with this wild superhuman, but now that the US military is capturing Chris, he's become interested.

In less than an hour, he found Chris in the abandoned mobile building. Unexpectedly, there was another person with him, who was also a superhuman!

Zhao Hao grabbed the fist that was coming toward his face, then pulled it out and threw it to the ground.

"Stay calm. I'm not an enemy, nor am I part of the military..." Zhao Hao looked at Chris. "I'm your boss."

Chris's ability is to cast illusions on people through shadow puppets, but Zhao Hao has already achieved a high level of skill in illusions.

Another of Chris's friends, a second-generation Song Dynasty person named Cangmo, has the ability to cosplay. After cosplaying a character, he can gain a portion of that character's power and abilities.

I was just cosplaying a super soldier from an anime, and Zhao Hao threw me around and left me covered in dust.

It can be said that Zhao Hao completely overwhelmed the two.

What is strength? Strength is the confidence to make the other party speak to you calmly and rationally.

"Now tell me, what's going on with you? Why is the military arresting you?"

Chapter 246 The Seven Brothers of Squad A3

"Tell me, what's going on here?"

Seeing that the two were still in a daze, Zhao Hao asked again.

Chris was still in shock that his illusion had been broken before it even worked.

Cang Mo, who was lying on the ground, was completely disoriented from the fall. Even his cosplay was ruined. He felt like his internal organs were screaming and his head was buzzing, so he didn't react immediately.

However, Zhao Hao was not very patient and hated waiting for others or being waited for. Seeing that the two were not cooperating, he clenched his fist and was about to continue to reason with them.

The principle of fists still holds true, and the two immediately got into the zone, standing obediently like elementary school students reciting a text, and began to tell their stories.

But Zhao Hao smiled, and the next moment: the old lady swatted a fly!

"Clap!"

One person got slapped on the head!

"You dare lie to me? Looks like I haven't been able to reason with you after all!"

Zhao Hao immediately launched into a long lecture about "it's for your own good," and ten seconds later, the two of them lay on the ground, bruised and battered, completely losing their desire to play tricks.

After all, the big principles are too painful! I can't stand it! Getting punched seven or eight times or kicked four or five times in a second would leave me paralyzed!

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Go ahead and ask, just ask!"

Cang Mo was the first to give in. He'd just been cosplaying a fighting character, and Zhao Hao had made him his primary target for reasoning, explaining things quite thoroughly. He almost yelled, "Brother Hao, no!"

Zhao Hao then realized that he had forgotten the question after playing for so long.

"Why did the military arrest you? What did you do? Oh, by the way, when did you become superhumans?"

"A superhuman?!" Faced with Zhao Hao's question, the two were stunned, exchanging bewildered glances.

Cang Mo: "What superhumans? Aren't we superheroes?"

“Nonsense! We are clearly superhumans!” Chris retorted.

"He's a superhero!"

"He's a superhuman!"

The two almost started fighting on the spot!

Zhao Hao asked a few more questions and learned that the two had only known each other for less than three days, and that they had met while trying to avoid the military.

Chris originally thought that by fleeing from the South to Liberty City and seeking refuge with his newly acquainted "kindred spirits," he could escape their pursuit.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to evade capture, but Cang Mo was also not one of their own kind!

You're a superhero and I'm a superhuman, how can we be friends?!

It turns out that the military has been quietly investigating and hunting down those wild, unaffiliated superhumans across the country.

Especially for those extraordinary individuals who have naturally awakened their psychic powers due to the psychic resurgence, we try to persuade them with kind words, coerce and entice them, and even use righteous indignation... If they still don't agree to join the military's "research programs" after all this, then don't blame the state for helping them "behave themselves".

In this respect, Cang Mo knew a little more than Chris. He had met several "superheroes" around Liberty City through various channels, but they all disappeared not long afterward.

His investigation revealed a mysterious organization that was arresting people like them, and then the military came knocking...

Given that all the "heroic buddies" he had previously contacted had completely disappeared, he trusted none of them and violently resisted and ran away.

Then, across several states, I met Chris through a niche publication.

During their communication, Cang Mo told him about the military. As a result, Chris was quickly also being monitored and had to flee to Liberty City…

Zhao Hao suspected that those contact methods were deliberately released by the military to lure wild superhumans into a trap. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Zhao Hao asked, "Did the military capture those wild superhumans for experiments?"

"Definitely! Those executioners are capable of anything!" Cang Mo was an anti-war youth who had no goodwill towards the military.

Chris's words were more impartial: "I don't know, but I don't want to risk my life to test their worth."

Zhao Hao thought for a moment and then dialed Colt's number.

"Hey, Colt, do you want a wife? No, I mean, do you want a superhuman? Just say the word and I'll send her to you right away..."

……

"Go go go~~~" A small group of people filed into an unfinished building.

There were seven of them in total; they were members of Team A3 from the Jedi Project.

The military began related "extraordinary projects" three years ago, such as "Project Jedi" led by Colonel Django.

Because it has ample manpower and resources, as well as the support of many high-level figures, although it cannot compare to the mysterious bureau with decades of experience, it is still making progress and cannot be regarded as a new force that starts from scratch.

In areas like selection and training, the military has a significant advantage.

Although they cannot produce their own superhumans, they do have a method for training the superhumans they recruit.

Moreover, they seem to have mastered some strange and extraordinary items, which is quite remarkable, at least in terms of finding and tracking extraordinary individuals.

Sure enough, more than forty minutes later, Zhao Hao and his team found the location of Chris and Cang Mo, one of the escaped superhumans.

The A3 squad was a superhuman squad that had only been established for four months. When Colonel Django learned that two wild superhumans with strong rebellious tendencies were together, he came up with the idea of ​​training them.

The Fire Squad had previously achieved remarkable results, but suffered heavy losses in one operation, and the remaining members also suffered severe psychological trauma, and have now all retired.

It was actually that "Fly King's Arrival at the Septic Tank Battle Incident" that happened. Their superhumans were still too inexperienced; they got into big trouble just by watching.

While the A3 squad's training results are among the best, their effectiveness in actual combat remains to be tested.

These two extraordinary individuals are perfect for testing combat capabilities.

So, A3 team, carrying military radios and some basic equipment, rushed toward the unfinished building.

The seven had undergone rigorous military training, so their every move was methodical. They covered for each other and infiltrated silently, appearing quite professional. However, Zhao Hao's miniature paper shikigami had already observed everything.

Suddenly, the team leader raised his fist, and the entire squad immediately stopped.

Captain: "Something feels off. Why are there extremely faint psionic energy reactions throughout this building, as seen through the goggles?"

The second vice-captain said, "Indeed, this feeling is very special. It's the first time I've encountered it in the real world..."

His words caused a few seconds of silence in the line.

The last survival exercise in the Otherworld was truly a tough one.

Through the goggles they wore, numerous blurry, tiny ripples and lines, resembling floaters, danced erratically, disappearing or reappearing intermittently.

Their psychic sensing devices and the Bureau of Mysteries are clearly not on the same path; they're on the visualization route. Ultimately, it will probably reach the level of Zhao Hao's demon-hunting senses, able to directly see psychic traces and even distinguish different color attributes.

However, the technology is still too crude at present; it can only be said to have some effect, but not a complete one.

The captain of Team A3 is named Li Ang, a man with Scandinavian features and a full beard. He is respected by his teammates as their leader.

Li Ang said to the vice-captain, "Second brother, take a close look. We mustn't fall into an ambush! I heard that Cang Mo has a history of escaping before, so he might already be prepared."

The second vice-captain's extraordinary ability is super vision, including farsightedness, super dynamic vision, and infrared vision.

Therefore, aside from the military's psionic instruments, he was the team's scout.

Upon hearing this, the second deputy captain tightly closed his eyes, then opened them a few seconds later and began to scan his surroundings.

His pupils were starting to dilate.

A dozen seconds later, he suddenly said, "I found them! On the fifth floor! They don't seem to be on alert!"

"Alright! Let's surround them! I'll be in one team, the second and third in another, the fourth and fifth in another, and the sixth and seventh in yet another. They'll mainly provide backup and also be there to prevent the enemy from escaping, just to be on the safe side..."

After assigning tactics, the group split up and began to act separately.

On the fifth floor, Zhao Hao shook his head: "Haven't you seen the movie? Splitting up is just suicide!"

Chris and Cangmo were no longer by his side. The two infrared images that the second brother saw were illusions created by Chris leaving behind a photograph.

In fact, they had been handed over to Colt and taken back to the Bureau of Mysteries more than ten minutes earlier.

We should keep the good stuff within the family.

They've been discovered by the military; if they fail this time, they'll try again. They definitely can't escape. So they might as well join the Secret Service; at least the Colts are decent, aren't they?

Besides, with more staff, how dare you ask me to work overtime? Aren't the new employees just there to be exploited?!

As for Zhao Hao, he stayed behind to witness the military's methods.

This seven-person team is now entirely composed of extraordinary individuals, though their psionic energy fluctuations are generally low, mostly at Black Iron 1 or 2 stars, with only the leader at 3 stars. However, they carry a considerable amount of equipment, suggesting that their choice is deliberate.

Zhao Hao: I've heard that the military possesses extraordinary instruments, crafted with exquisite skill and craftsmanship. Now that I've come across this opportunity, I should borrow them to study them. The military is wealthy and generous, and will surely not let my journey be in vain.

Zhao Hao addressed the A3 team members, who were beginning to disperse, saying, "Taking something without permission is theft. I've warned you beforehand. Whether you heard me or not is your problem."

Zhao Hao moved, took two steps, and turned around. He had transformed into a milky white, semi-transparent ghost, and put on his mask, [The Terrifying Face].

After being fused with the Joker Mask, this item is now a Black Iron 5-star extraordinary item.

It's incredibly powerful, but once you put it on, the aura of a psychopathic killer it exudes can terrify an ordinary person. Zhao Hao hasn't worn it in a long time.
