Chapter 270 The Birth of a Superhero

? And those awakened who abide by the law and take the initiative to declare their superpowers are also quite critical of the authorities' policies.

In the beginning, when the superpowers were just awakened, the authorities provided each quasi-awakened person with a certain amount of genetic medicine, which was regarded as a state subsidy or "novice welfare".

But subsidies and benefits cannot be given endlessly—although the Earth Alliance family has a great career, the landlord’s family has no surplus food!

If there is no progress visible to the naked eye within a certain period of time, the free genetic medicine must be gradually reduced until it is cancelled.

If you want to continue to practice, you have to go to the extraordinary association to earn contribution points, or buy them at a very expensive price.

This made many awakened people very dissatisfied.

They think that they are already awakened and are always ready to contribute to the earth. It is right for the authorities to help them cultivate. Awakening is the iron rice bowl. How can they ask for money and contribute?

It is not impossible to help the extraordinary association with tasks, but many awakened people have their own jobs, and the family has to support their families. For example, it is impossible to say that they suddenly awakened the ability to breathe fire in their palms. Programmers—who cares?

In my job, I often have to work overtime and stay up late, 996 or something, precious days off, sleep soundly, take care of housework, accompany my son to interest classes, pay public rations to my wife... I can’t wait to break it into three petals for a flower. What kind of ghost training and ghost tasks do you have time to do?

Moreover, the recovery of spiritual energy is a new thing after all, and the very association also opened a new store. The task setting and membership upgrade system are not reasonable. Cultivation, how many tasks can they do?

In this regard, the Extraordinary Association has already learned its lesson—just a few days ago, a few awakened people took on a comprehensive security management task and followed the police to check a second-hand market. Two wanted criminals with superpowers who were hiding here were killed in one blow, and three of our awakened ones died and two were seriously injured.

As a result, the family members felt that the Extraordinary Association was disregarding human life. The awakened person who died was just a middle school teacher a few days ago, and he had no combat power at all. He suddenly awakened the ability of "infinite strength", which is not invulnerable. He himself I just woke up, I don't know anything, I thought it was just like in the movie, with superpowers, I was a superhero, and I went out to defend justice as soon as my head got hot, how could the extraordinary association be so rash, and let him risk it without strict review? What about life-threatening?

In this matter, the public is justified, and the mother-in-law is justified. No one thought that the security patrol would turn into an argument with a wanted criminal with superpowers.

Moreover, when signing the mission agreement, there are corresponding exemption clauses, but the 70 or 80 family members of the victims who couldn't hold back wore mourning, wore wreaths and elegiac couplets, and sat under the building of the Extraordinary Association, crying all day long , the gongs and drums were beating, and many family members were old men and women in their 70s and 80s. Anyway, the morale of the police was low.

This incident made the authorities very passive.

Chairman Yu didn't dare to run to the city council.

No, it should be said that she didn't even dare to walk out of the gate of the extraordinary association - as soon as she stepped out of the gate, several family members rushed up to hug her thigh.

The Extraordinary Association can only adjust the mission system, raise the review standard, and try not to let the newly enlightened people participate in dangerous missions.

However, the improvement of review standards will inevitably mean a decrease in operating efficiency. Many awakened people are complaining that there are no suitable tasks. Even if they receive tasks, such as acting as a temporary joint defense team and maintaining public security in the community, they will not be able to redeem many contribution points. .

If things go on like this, many awakened people have discovered that the seemingly beautiful and reasonable cultivation-task-upgrade system is basically just drawing cakes to satisfy their hunger, and there is only a theoretical possibility.

This is really an irreconcilable contradiction.

To put it more broadly, it is "the contradiction between the growing cultivation needs of the people and the limited spiritual energy resources".

The reason why many people take the initiative to declare their superpowers is because they think that as long as they declare, they are "people of the authority" and can hold an iron rice bowl and eat the royal food for a lifetime.

Now that it is far from the case, what is there to declare?

In this way, big data shows that after the number of Awakened voluntary declarations in the first few months continued to increase, the growth rate gradually decreased in September and October, and the growth curve became weaker and weaker. The number of newly declared Awakened in October was only six 80% of the month.

It stands to reason that as the intensity of the eruption of the spiritual tide is getting higher and higher, the number of awakened people should be more and more.

Now the data is declining like a cliff. It is obvious that some people have lost confidence in the authorities. Even evil forces such as the Heavenly Man Organization are secretly fanning the flames. A few awakened people concealed their superpowers—this is really a very dangerous thing.

By late October, a new situation emerged.

The problem of insufficient police force has triggered a chain reaction.

A large number of police forces, military forces and resources are invested in stopping the crimes of the awakened and time-travelers, and the control of traditional crimes will inevitably be relaxed.

It is impossible for any society to be free from crime. Those hooligans, gangsters, petty theft, extortion and even robbery gangs and underworld forces are best at taking advantage of the fire to rob and fish in troubled waters. On the awakened and time-travelers, they are ready to move and make waves.

These guys can't make too much trouble, but they are enough to stir up a mess of smoke and make the citizens even more disappointed with the authorities.

You know, there are many citizens who have awakened superpowers.

In the eyes of many citizens, since the authorities are so weak in fighting crime, it is better for us ordinary people to roll up our sleeves and do it ourselves!

As a result, some "vigilantes" who have watched too many superhero movies appeared.

They often wear masks, cloaks and tights bought from toy stores. They neither registered with the extraordinary association nor followed the legal procedures, and spontaneously took to the streets to "maintain justice and punish crimes."

Most of the vigilantes didn't even think about arresting out-of-control awakened people and illegal traversers.

Their main target is the hooligans and evil forces near their home. Anyway, they don’t need conclusive evidence. Just find a bar, karaoke nightclub, see some hooligans, drag them to a dark corner, and use superpowers to beat them up That's it.

At least at the beginning, this method of "beating the master to death with random punches" really scared many hooligans and black and evil forces to tremble, and they dared not show their faces for the time being, arrogant and domineering.

In this way, countless citizens have become admirers and supporters of superheroes-vigilantes, and even compared them to Iron Man, Spiderman, Batman and so on in reality.

In contrast, the authorities have become increasingly dishonored.

Many people who don't know the truth don't know how much work the authorities have done quietly behind the scenes, thinking that the authorities will only throw it out to clean up the ground after the vigilante police wiped out the crime!

Even many awakened ones who originally registered with the Extraordinary Association dislike the task system of the Extraordinary Association. I won't play with you anymore, let's wear a mask and go out to fight for justice, not for anything else, just for fun - awakening superpowers, isn't it just for fun, for refreshment, for fun!

The authorities are of course opposed to these superheroes - vigilantes.

Heroes are prohibited by martial arts, and chivalrous acts of righteousness must be carried out within the framework permitted by the law. If everyone is a vigilante and goes out casually to "eliminate the strong and help the weak, and maintain justice", what do the authorities need to do?

Moreover, these so-called superheroes have not received professional training at all, and they do not know how to handle cases and arrest people. The collateral damage caused by their private actions is much greater than that of the police, and they often mistake the target of attack-some people Just because he drank a few more drinks in the bar and walked a bit arrogantly when he came out, he was treated as a hooligan, dragged into the alley and broke an arm and two legs, where can he reason?

However, the masses are very tolerant of these so-called superheroes, and even blame the authorities for the destruction and harm they caused.

"Who makes the authorities weak and unable to eliminate evil as soon as possible?"

The crowd spoke eloquently, "We also know that these 'vigilante police' are not professional, but your relevant departments are professional—then you professionals, hurry up and arrest all the villains!"
