All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 239 - 212: Super Hearing (Part 2)

As one of the few members in the organization with Class B potential, Fang Mengzhu was highly valued. After a month of training, it was about time for some practical experience. Seeing that Su Xin was involved in this mission, the head of the training base volunteered to dispatch Fang Mengzhu for some honing.

After all, with Su Xin there, the danger level of this operation was sure to be low. Moreover, Fang Mengzhu carried a Life Talisman, so there was no worry about life-threatening situations.

A group of over a dozen people left the hotel, visited the morgue to see their companions' bodies burnt to cinders, and then, under the guidance of two local policemen arranged by Tian Yu, soon arrived near the hotel.

This was the site where the second investigative team was attacked. Now, the entire hotel building was a charred ruin, cordoned off at a distance.

Of course, the building's overall outline remained relatively intact, so there might still be clues to uncover.

The group entered through the main entrance, splitting into two teams led by Captain Liu Shaorong and Vice-Captain Fang Mengzhu, respectively.

Su Xin, however, acted independently.

In fact, the one who came with the group on the plane was merely an Illusion Body, but his body, strong to the point of being nearly invincible, endowed him with terrifying combat power and insight.

He leapt through the air, landing directly on the balcony of a room on the fifth floor of the hotel from the outside.

His gaze swept around the ruin-like room, easily taking in all the details.

Scattered on the floor before him were glass shards. Judging by their distribution, it was evident they were shattered by an inward blow from outside, then scattered inward.

There were no bullet marks inside; the charred remnants of the coffee table, bed, and other furniture remained in their original positions, not indicative of a fight. On the other side, three bodies outlined by white lines were also together beside a coffee table.

Even Su Xin, who had never studied investigation, could tell at a glance that the three team members were likely discussing something at the coffee table before the attack, not having time to scatter or counterattack when it happened.

Earlier, while checking the bodies in the morgue, the forensic report and observations confirmed that all had died before the fire, the fatal injury being a knife wound to the throat. Moreover, all team members' eardrums were ruptured, and their internal organs were moderately damaged before being burnt.

Based on these clues, the organization's intelligence department had already speculated—the attacker likely used a sonic weapon to assault the whole building, swiftly killed everyone inside, then set fire to the hotel.

However, these speculations were based only on leads provided by the Ruiyang Country's official sources. Having lost trust in them, the organization did not finalize the conclusions, merely providing them for the investigative team's reference.

Now, with a rough glance, Su Xin could basically confirm these assumptions were correct.

Subsequently, Su Xin wandered casually around the building before heading back downstairs to wait.

He looked towards the officers waiting by the side, asking in response to their dazed looks:

"What about the surveillance around here? Did none of them capture the assailant?"

The policeman, still stunned by Su Xin's astonishing movements, snapped back to his senses and replied nervously:

"After the attack, we checked all the nearby surveillance immediately, but all were hacked, and the content wiped clean."

"Hmm."

Su Xin nodded noncommittally.

Then, he quietly closed his eyes.

Humans receive external information through the five senses, with vision processing the most data. If the human brain is likened to a CPU, the five senses are software running concurrently, allocating the brain's computational power according to their needs.

Vision requires the most computational power.

Thus, upon closing one's eyes, with reduced computational load for vision, more power can be allocated to other senses.

The result is that people find their hearing and touch, among others, becoming much more acute.

The same applied to Su Xin.

When he closed his eyes, he focused more attention on his hearing.

With his physique hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary person's, his hearing was frighteningly acute, easily picking up various sounds within hundreds of meters.

It was practically a form of super hearing ability.

He could clearly catch the heartbeat and breathing of the two officers beside him, the footsteps and discussions of Dawn Association members in the building's ruins, nearby residents cooking, washing dishes, chatting, being affectionate, watching TV, fighting, and so on.

If sound propagation weren't limited by distance, Su Xin's powerful hearing could even detect conversations kilometers away.

"Hmm?"

At this point, Su Xin's ears twitched, focusing more attention on a specific direction.

Shortly after, he opened his eyes, a sharp gleam in them, and turned gaze in a particular direction.

He bent his knees, and in the next moment, like a spring compressed to its limit, he shot up, rocketing in a specific direction.

"Boom!"

The cement pavement exploded, large spider-web-like cracks quickly spreading around.

The two officers staggered, eventually falling, staring dumbly at Su Xin's figure disappearing in the distance.

Su Xin landed near a tall, over ten-story residential building, his gaze locked on a room's floor-to-ceiling window.

He bent and sprang again.

He easily cleared the height of dozens of meters.

He slamming into the window, smashing it, and burst into the room.

Countless glass fragments shot inward like shotgun pellets, yet to Su Xin, they seemed in slow motion, like in a movie.

His eyes scanned the room, instantly noting the trajectory of each glass fragment, as well as the creeping terror on the faces of the five people inside.

However, he didn't choose to attack immediately but awaited their response.

"He found us!"

"Quick, attack!"

There were five people in the room, all conveniently seated in the living room. Seeing 'Feng Qian' break in, they exclaimed in shock and launched their attacks.

One opened his mouth as if to shout.

An invisible ripple in the air began at his mouth, quickly spreading towards Su Xin.

Wherever the air ripple passed, glass fragments and objects like sofas on the ground vibrated violently, yet Su Xin, swept head-on by the ripple, remained motionless, standing there calmly and indifferently.

Another extended his hand, unleashing a narrow pillar of fire towards Su Xin.

This attack Su Xin had to block.

Not out of fear of injury, but concern that his clothes might be burnt. So he took a deep breath, inflating his abdomen.

In the next moment.

He pursed his lips, blowing forward.

A column of air furiously shot forward. The air traveled so fast it compressed into a semi-transparent form, stirring the surrounding air into a violently swirling vortex, creating a fierce howling wind.

"Whoosh!"

The air column shattered the flames instantly, while a massive accompanying air wave blew back the fire fragments, even making the other party squint their eyes and struggle to see.

Su Xin casually brushed away another's attack, grinning:

"Let's find another place to fight. This is no fun."

Saying that, he turned, exposing his back, and leapt down from the high floor.

The five inside exchanged glances, then decided to follow him, all jumping off from the balcony after Su Xin.
