Ever since he began to suspect Lin Fan, Wu Yusen had speculated many times about what kind of supernatural powers she possessed, but each test revealed nothing.
Now we finally know that Lin Fan can transform into a mecha.
No wonder the special affairs office’s ability detection couldn’t detect it.
Their special abilities are all about catching ghosts, refining pills, cultivating immortality, etc., which have nothing to do with mechas. It seems that they are two diametrically opposed systems.
There was a commotion. The staff at the service area and other passengers came running over when they noticed the truck had stopped.
Wu Yusen didn't have time to think before he carried Lin Fan into the car. His car was bulletproof, so while it had been hit by the truck, it wasn't seriously damaged. He couldn't leave immediately, though. He didn't know if Lin Fan's transformation had been captured on camera, and if any footage was left, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, as a special agent, these are things we are used to doing.
Lin Fan finally showed his special ability, which made him finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Wu Yusen laid Lin Fan flat on the back seat and called her a few times. Seeing that she didn't respond, her breathing, pulse, and complexion were normal, so she should be fine.
Someone outside kept knocking on the car window, so he had to put Lin Fan down and deal with the person outside first.
"Is there anyone inside?" The windows of the special agency's car were really dark, and you couldn't see inside even with a flashlight.
"I saw two people walking over. There must be someone."
Wu Yusen opened the middle door and said, "There's someone here. We were really scared just now."
"Are you okay?" The kind-hearted man saw that there was another person lying inside and shone his flashlight.
"It's okay, it's okay. My wife got a headache because she was scared, so I asked her to lie down and rest for a while." John Woo explained with a smile, and closed the middle door to prevent others from peeping.
"I'm glad you're okay. We were scared to death. I just said a car was hit, but you didn't believe me." This person was probably a witness.
"Thank you, thank you all for your concern." John Woo thanked them one by one.
"Can your car still be moved? If it can, try moving it." Someone suggested, "It's always unsafe to leave it parked in front of the car. Who knows if it will cause any trouble?"
The truck driver was also helped down, limp all over, and kept apologizing to John Woo, his words barely coherent. John Woo probed the driver and found that he had finally closed his eyes out of nervousness and didn't know how the truck stopped.
He climbed up the car to take a look. From the driver's perspective, he probably couldn't see Lin Fan's transformation. Seeing the dashcam installed in the rearview mirror, he took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and removed the memory card inside.
After getting off, he moved his car to a secluded location where he could still see the rest of the parking lot. He went to the back seat and looked at Lin Fan while talking on the phone.
The first thing to do is to contact the hacker.
Wang Fengfeng was the hacker responsible for investigating Lin Fan's information. He spent years in the hacker office of the Special Affairs Bureau. He answered the phone as soon as the phone rang. "What's up, Brother Wu?"
"I'm currently at the xx highway service area. Please use the location I sent you to control all surveillance cameras inside and outside the service area. Check the previous half hour and intercept any footage that shows me."
"And send the service area location and the license plates of vehicles leaving within 10 minutes and later to... Who's on standby today?"
There was a crackling sound from the other side: "Groups 6, 8, and 11 are all on standby at the station."
"Send it to 6 groups, quickly."
"Understood, sir." Wang Fengfeng knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't waste any words.
John Woo hung up the phone and called the leader of Group 6.
Xue Ping was leisurely watching an online drama in his office. When the phone rang, he knew someone had called and answered it immediately. "What's going on?"
"There was an emergency in the parking lot at the service area, and we need help. I've asked Wang Fengfeng to check the surveillance cameras, but I have someone to protect, so I can't get out of the car to clean up. I don't know if the car that left after the incident captured anything. I need you to stop a car on the highway and check the surveillance."
"I understand. Have the location and license plate been sent over?" Xue Ping stood up and walked out of the office to greet his subordinates.
"I asked Wang Fengfeng to send it to you. It should arrive soon."
"I just need to stop a car. Don't I need a service area?"
"Do you have enough people? If you do, come. If not, I'll get 8 more people to come to the service area."
"That's enough. You don't need to notify the other teams. I'll go. Wait!" Xue Ping hung up the phone. Of course, he couldn't notify the other teams. It sounded like the stall was not very big. If the other teams were to share in it, what performance would there be? The bonus would be reduced.
After the two phone calls, John Woo felt relieved.
Xue Ping was very capable and would communicate with the relevant departments and take over all matters, so he didn't have to worry about anything. He just had to pretend to be a frightened ordinary person, keep an eye on Lin Fan, and wait for them to arrive.
By the way, I also need to tell the director.
"What's the matter?" The director knew that John Woo would not call unless it was an emergency, especially since he had just said he would talk to him tomorrow.
Fortunately, the task at hand had just been completed and he didn't need to be distracted.
"Lin Fan has transformed."
"Transformed?!" the director was surprised. "Transformed into what?"
If people with special abilities are already very rare in the Special Affairs Bureau, then those who can transform can be counted on one hand.
Because of the dilution of his blood, most transformations were incomplete. So, upon hearing that Lin Fan could transform, the director was stunned.
"Mecha!"
"What?" The director didn't react.
"Mech! Robot! Iron Man! Humanoid armor!" John Woo whispered with a little excitement.
“…” The director felt that he understood, but also felt that he had entered the wrong channel.
Aren't mechas a technology thing? They're into superpowers, though they also do research...
"Are you sure?"
"It's certain. I saw it with my own eyes. It was right next to me. It changed when I turned my head, but it changed back before I could see it clearly." John Woo said.
"What's Lin Fan's current condition?"
"She passed out when she turned back and couldn't be woken up. But all her indicators are normal. I'll take her back when Xue Ping arrives."
"What happened? Tell me in detail."
John Woo recounted in detail how a truck lost control when he was leaving his restaurant and nearly hit him, but was blocked by Lin Fan's hand.
The director didn't say anything for a long time on the other end of the phone.
"If she can easily stop a heavy truck, she should be able to hold up an airplane, too. It must be her!" Wu Yusen emphasized his prediction, "But her ability... can it be considered a superpower?"
The director didn't know either, but since Lin Fan could transform, he definitely couldn't be an ordinary person, so he asked John Woo to bring him back first.
The small service area was usually deserted at night, and while the truck's loss of control was dangerous, it didn't cause any casualties, just a few minor collisions. The victims waited for the traffic police to handle the accident, while others watched from the sidelines. Few cars left.
It took Wu Yusen more than two hours to drive from the special office to the service area, but Xue Ping arrived in less than two hours in a hurry. As soon as he saw Wu Yusen's car, he sent his men out to do their work and came alone to meet him.
"What's going on?" Xue Ping got into the carriage, glanced at Lin Fan who was still unconscious and asked.
"The heavy truck lost control and this person transformed it and stopped it." John Woo said briefly.
"So fierce?" Xue Ping had already seen the heavy truck, which was quite impressive. He nodded at Lin Fan and asked, "What's going on now?"
"He's fainted. He probably can't control his abilities." Wu Yusen wasn't sure what was going on. "I'm going to take people back to check without you cleaning up the mess."
"Boss." A voice came from the intercom.
"Speak." Xue Ping responded.
"The truck had not been maintained for a long time, and the brake pads were severely worn, resulting in brake failure. The dashcam on the vehicle did not detect the memory card."
"I have the card," Wu Yusen interrupted. "I used a new card to re-record his previous content and removed the part where the incident happened. I'll have your people install it back later."
Xue Ping took the memory card handed to him by Wu Yusen and said to the man just now, "Come here and get your things."
"Boss," another voice came over the intercom, "We've checked the dashcams of other vehicles around here. Due to lighting and distance, they didn't capture the truck's location."
"I see." Xue Ping asked again, "How are the others?"
"There isn't much external surveillance in this service area, but several are not connected to the Internet. We are investigating the contents." Another voice replied.
The person who had just been called in to pick up something arrived at the truck and knocked on the door. Xue Ping opened the door and handed the memory card to a subordinate wearing an insurance company uniform, asking him to put it back into the truck's dashcam.
"I've observed that from the current position of the truck, it's difficult to see what's happening at the front of the vehicle from behind, but there might be an accident. You should check carefully." John Woo reminded.
"Do I need you to tell me?" Xue Ping rolled his eyes. They were all experienced special agents, and it seemed like everyone knew this basic job.
"Then you check it out. I'm going to take people back."
"You're going to take him back by yourself? Can you keep an eye on him? The situation doesn't seem stable." Xue Ping asked.
Wu Yusen hesitated for a moment. He wasn't sure when Lin Fan would wake up, or what his condition would be like. He really needed to be prepared for any unexpected situations.
"I'll find someone to drive for you, and you watch from behind," Xue Ping suggested.
Wu Yusen readily agreed. A short while later, they arrived. Xue Ping gave Wu Yusen a few instructions, got out of the car, said goodbye to Wu Yusen, and walked to his own car. He still had work to do.
The designated driver got in the car without saying a word and drove away.
John Woo was in the back seat, watching the light flickering on Lin Fan's face, and his originally excited mood had calmed down.
At the moment, it seems that Lin Fan cannot control his transformation.
If he would be unconscious for a period of time after each transformation, then the reason for his coma in the woods that afternoon had been found.
The only memory that disappeared was the one of transformation. So, can she still remember this transformation?
And what was the trigger for her transformation?
In danger?
But she was in the woods when the plane went down last time, so it couldn't hurt her at all.
Why is that?
…
After learning that Lin Fan could transform, he seemed to have more questions. It wasn't like what he had originally thought, that he could simply test out his superpowers and join the Special Affairs Office...
He just kept looking at Lin Fan and thinking about various problems as the car drove back to Gaohe City.
The sky in Gaohe City was getting light, and the streets were still brightly lit. Lin Fan opened his eyes in the dim lights.
