Beneath him was a middle-aged man with a stubbly beard, wearing a gray and white security officer uniform, looking at Li Chenqiu with a dumbfounded expression.

Sitting in the room were several men and women, dressed in the same attire as the man. Some even had instant noodles hanging from their mouths that they hadn't had time to slurp in. The group stared blankly at Li Chenqiu.

Li Chenqiu recognized the uniform. It was the uniform of the No. 11 City Security Division, and he also realized something.

These people weren't the ones monitoring him. Some of them were already at the soup-drinking stage of their instant noodles. He'd only been here for three or four minutes, and adding the time to prepare and eat the noodles, it would take at least five minutes!

"Ahem!" Li Chenqiu coughed awkwardly a few times, looking at the camera hanging on the man's chest and asking, "Is that a security recorder?"

"...Yeah." The man nodded blankly.

Hearing this, Li Chenqiu's face darkened, and six crows flew over his head.

Since he didn't have any clothes to change into, and Li Chenqiu figured that the people monitoring him definitely knew what he looked like, he didn't bother changing his appearance. He had previously learned that the camera in this security recorder was connected to the Security Division's database in real time.

In other words, his face was exposed. The "Coco Delicious Fried Rice" restaurant employee, Li Chenqiu, who could scale walls and walk on roofs, would soon be known by everyone.

Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu felt his head buzzing.

If he ran, there was an 80% chance he'd be labeled as a Resurgent, and the fried rice restaurant would be out of business.

If he didn't run, how should he explain this series of actions? Could he say he was a Chosen One? It seemed plausible.

At this moment, the security officers in the room finally reacted, picking up the guns on the table and aiming them at Li Chenqiu.

"You, you... where did you come from? Let go of Lao Cheng!" The middle-aged man at the head shouted loudly.

Although the man's voice was imposing, his trembling body betrayed his inner anxiety.

To be able to rush into the room at this speed and have ill intentions towards the security officers, what else could he be but a Resurgent?

If the man could think of this, others would naturally think of it as well, but although they were afraid, they didn't retreat, aiming their guns at Li Chenqiu.

"You've got the wrong idea. Actually... actually... actually, I'm a good person."

As he spoke, Li Chenqiu raised his hands above his head and slowly stood up from on top of Level One Security Officer Zhu Cheng.

Just as Li Chenqiu was about to stand up, Zhu Cheng, who was lying on the ground, clenched his fists, performed a carp jump, and lunged at Li Chenqiu with a determined expression.

Although Li Chenqiu didn't understand the purpose of his actions, he didn't resist and was directly pushed to the ground by Zhu Cheng. At this time, Zhu Cheng was like an octopus, holding Li Chenqiu tightly with his limbs.

Li Chenqiu was about to explain when Zhu Cheng directly turned his head and shouted loudly at the group, "Don't worry about me, shoot!!!"

"Huh?" Li Chenqiu's mouth opened slightly. Was this the security officer in his impression? He was a bit radical!

Fortunately, Zhu Cheng's teammates looked a little hesitant and didn't shoot directly.

"What are you hesitating for? Shoot! If this Resurgent breaks free, we'll all die. Don't be soft-hearted!!!" Zhu Cheng shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Uncle, don't worry. Think about it. If I were a Resurgent, why didn't I kill you just now!" Li Chenqiu hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Zhu Cheng was also stunned. That's right, if the other party was a Resurgent, why didn't he kill him just now?

The leader of this squad, Wu Shan, stared vigilantly at Li Chenqiu, not relaxing his guard because of Li Chenqiu's words. He said, "If you're not a Resurgent, then make a wound."

"Okay." Li Chenqiu nodded, then used his teeth slightly to bite his lower lip.

Red blood stained his lips, flowing down the corners of his mouth.

One second... three seconds... ten seconds... the wound didn't heal.

Seeing this, the tense nerves of several people relaxed, and they put down their guns.

Li Chenqiu lowered his head and looked at Zhu Cheng, who was lying in his arms.

"Oh... oh, sorry, I misunderstood." Zhu Cheng nodded belatedly, hurriedly got up from Li Chenqiu's arms, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Li Chenqiu.

"Thank you." Li Chenqiu took the paper and wiped the blood from his mouth with a tissue.

In the Federation, there was only one way to identify human Resurgents, which was like Li Chenqiu did just now, to make a wound and see if the wound would heal. Since Li Chenqiu possessed the ability of absolute control, he could control whether the wound healed or not.

In addition to this, there was another way to control wound healing, which was to rely solely on human blood to sustain life, so that life energy was only enough to keep the skin from aging. After an injury, the wound would naturally not heal quickly. This was also the method used by Li Ji and Li Qingxia.

However, this method was very torturous. Long-term lack of life energy would cause Resurgents to fall into a state of hunger, which could not be offset by other foods and could only be endured.

Inside the room, Wu Shan asked somewhat tentatively, "Are you a Chosen One?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Li Chenqiu nodded with a smile.

"Then can I ask your name?" Wu Shan continued to ask.

Li Chenqiu hesitated for a while and still said his name, "Li Chenqiu."

He naturally knew what the other party wanted to do. Once a Chosen One appeared in the Federation, they had to report to the local Special Abilities Division, and once reported, this information was public and could be searched online by name.

Sure enough, after hearing this name, Wu Shan winked at the woman standing beside him, who immediately took her mobile phone and walked to the back, apparently searching for Li Chenqiu's information.

"Little brother, um... why did you come in from there just now?" Zhu Cheng, who looked honest and simple, scratched his head and asked suspiciously.

"Actually..."

"His great-uncle, his second uncle are all his uncles, high..."

Li Chenqiu was about to explain when a mobile phone rang from his pocket.

"Sorry, I'll take a call." Li Chenqiu smiled apologetically, walked to the window, and answered the phone.

"Xiao Qiu, that fourth floor is also not right. There were obviously people in front of the window, but the lights weren't on." Li Qingxia said softly on the other end of the phone.

"You..." Li Chenqiu clenched his fists. He really wanted to punch his second brother into the ground.

"Hanging up!"

After Li Chenqiu hung up the phone, he took a step and jumped out of the window in everyone's surprised eyes.

Under the neon lights, Li Chenqiu grabbed the protruding windowsill and swung himself, jumping directly into the room below.

Since the window was open, Li Chenqiu's figure was not hindered in any way.

This was a single room, filled with a choking smell of smoke. There were still unextinguished cigarette butts on the bedside table, emitting sparks.

Obviously, there were people in this room just now, but just now, the person in the room jumped out of the window and left this place.

Click!

Li Chenqiu pressed the light switch, but the light in the room did not turn on.

The power in hotel rooms is generally activated by inserting a room card. Since the other party did not book a room, the front desk naturally would not have any useful information.

Li Chenqiu frowned slightly, then turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and walked around the room.

Soon, his gaze was attracted by a calendar placed on the bedside table.
