After ten years of development, the existence of psionicists had gone from being rejected by the public at first to being accepted, and now it had completely infiltrated into the bones of society.
After all, most psionicists had been incorporated by Blacklight Biotechnology and the major continents. Even those who used psionic powers to commit crimes would be quickly arrested and tried.
There were generally three forces that arrested uncontrollable psionicists.
The first force, which was also the most visible force, was called the "Superpower Investigation Department". This was an international organization affiliated with the FBI. However, just like the FBI, the specific matters were handled by the local authorities, and the Earth Federation was only the boss in name.
All the members of this department were composed of civilian psionicists incorporated by the local authorities. They were responsible for psionicist crimes and some difficult cases.
The second force was the psionicist combative police force launched by Blacklight Biotechnology in various continents. This was a force formed by the cooperation of Blacklight Biotechnology and the local authorities. There were several units in each continent, and the most famous of them was still the psionicist combative police force in New York City. It could be said to be the superstar of the psionicist combative police force.
The third force was a force unknown to the public. It was the major task forces under the Blacklight Foundation.
The name Blacklight Foundation was extremely mysterious even to the governments of various countries. Ordinary people were not even qualified to hear this name. Only the highest level of each small country knew this name.
However, it was limited to this name.
For the high-level officials of these small countries, they only understood that this foundation had surpassed the functions of the Earth Federation. It was led by the four major continents and Blacklight Biotechnology. It was a legal armed department independent of the Earth Federation and the purpose of its establishment was to maintain the continuation of human civilization.
The reason they knew this was also because the four major continents had forced the world to sign the relevant treaty. At a certain point, the Blacklight Foundation was qualified to operate within the boundaries of the Earth Federation without being obstructed by the law.
As for what secrets this mysterious foundation had, they had no right to know.
In the entire Earth Federation, only the founder of Blacklight Biotechnology and a representative sent by each of the four major continents knew about this. These five people were the mysterious "Lilith Council".
With these three forces chasing and intercepting the psionicists, almost all the psionicists who were unwilling to submit to the government had disappeared without a trace. Perhaps there were three to five of them who had slipped through the net, but they could only live with their tails between their legs, not daring to reveal their identity as psionicists.
Therefore, most of the psionicists known to the public were members of the Psionic Combative Police Force. Due to the operations of Blacklight Biotechnology, this group of people was almost all accepted by the public. Secondly, they also had a recognized name —
Superheroes.
However, although psionicists were generally accepted by the public, there were still a small number of people who maintained deep-rooted hostility towards psionicists. To those people, psionicists were completely non-human. They had powers that surpassed ordinary people and were potentially dangerous. If not controlled, these psionicists would one day overthrow the rule of humans and enslave them.
There was once a survey conducted by a public research organization. This survey was called "Research Report on the Threat of Psionicists". In which, thirty percent of the people believed that psionicists were a potential danger to society and should be controlled.
Although this was only a sample survey, it was enough to show that deep in the hearts of many people, there was still a deep hostility towards the existence of psionicists.
Therefore, in the past decade, several secret organizations were established. These organizations had one goal, which was to find ways to eliminate all psionicists in society. One of the organizations called "Psionicist Threat Association" declared that psionicists must be suppressed. Even if they were not suppressed, these freaks should be exiled to Mars or other planets to maintain the purity of the human bloodline.
The primary target of these civil organizations was naturally the "Psionic Combative Police Force" that was exposed in front of the media all year round.
Northern America, New York, Blackwatch New York branch building.
At the top of the building, several branch executives and six people in strange clothes were sitting in a huge conference room.
Among the several branch executives, Liu Zhijian was sitting in the main seat. Now that he had been promoted, he was the highest person in charge of Blackwatch's Northern America branch.
Below him was a golden-haired man wearing a blue tights and a cape. The golden-haired man's eyes were like torches. This was the psionicist John who was known as the "Guardian".
In the outside world, because of his handsome appearance like an ancient Greek sculpture and unparalleled personal charm, he had a fan club of more than ten million people around the world. His popularity was almost comparable to the few international superstars in the world. Even the once internationally renowned bionic combative police Brooke was far less popular than him in the past.
With this popularity, coupled with his strength that far exceeded ordinary psionicists, he was also promoted to one of the top executives of the New York branch. Even his authority was second only to Liu Zhijian.
In addition to him, both Thunder God Leon and the invisible man Blake were also present. As for the shy young man who used to be called Hodge, he retired from the Psionic Combative Police Force three years ago.
However, in the past ten years, the Psionic Combative Police Force also added three new members. They were known to the public as "Eraser Girl Heidi", "Catwoman Anna", and "Dragonfly Man Jeff".
Among them, Eraser Girl Heidi's ability was to transform at will. As long as the size was the same, she could transform into the appearance of anyone she saw. In addition, her body was like a piece of rubber full of toughness, difficult to be destroyed by knives and guns.
Catwoman Anna had the reflexes and dexterity of a cat. She was an expert in melee combat. In addition, her hands could eject sharp claws that could easily cut through steel.
As for Dragonfly Man Jeff, he had the strength of an insect. At the same time, he also had a pair of dragonfly wings that allowed him to fly short distances. Like Blake, he was a scout in the team.
These three were members selected from the annual psionicist talent show. The outstanding ones were selected while the weaker ones were eliminated. After ten years, the current situation of the team was formed.
In any case, the team leader and also the most popular member of the team was still John the Guardian.
"John."
At this time, Liu Zhijian looked at the blond man next to him with a kind smile on his face. "You've been doing well recently. You've solved many robberies in a row and even the largest bank robbery in New York City. Now, the response in society is very strong. The support rate for the Psionic Combative Police Force has increased to eighty-six percent."
"I'm not surprised by this support rate."
John nodded slightly, his expression calm. "But you mentioned in the notice before the meeting that the company has issued a warning to us. What does that mean?"
"It's about the civil organization that opposes psionicists."
Liu Zhijian was a little worried. "There's a message from above. An extremist organization called the" Psionicist Threat Association "seems to have recently smuggled some illegal firearms in the North Sea Continent. It seems that they want to attack our Psionic Combative Police Force."
Hearing this news, everyone's expression froze. John even frowned. "Do you have a list of that organization?"
"No."
Liu Zhijian shook his head. "The other party is very secretive. The company only received the news from the North Sea Continent after the transaction was completed. Otherwise, even the company has no idea."
"D * mn it, it's this again!"
Jeff the Dragonfly Man suddenly cursed. "How much contribution have we psionicists made to this society? How many heinous criminals have we arrested? But these pigs always treat us like this, I... "
"Enough!"
Liu Zhijian frowned and shouted, "Don't say any more of these complaints. It's only here. If it were outside, do you know how big the repercussions of these words would be?"
"Of course I won't say it outside..."
Jeff the Dragonfly Man muttered in a low voice, but he still kept his mouth shut.
"We'll deal with the situation as it comes."
Anna the cat girl was dressed in black tights. She licked her palms seductively and giggled. "It's not the first time we've faced assassination by an extremist organization. In that case, don't blame us for being ruthless."
As she said this, she raised her head and looked at Liu Zhijian with a faint smile. "If we get rid of these people, will the company clean up after us?"
"Of course."
Liu Zhijian replied, "But I still don't recommend that you do anything. After all, with your identities, even if the other party takes the initiative to attack you, it'll easily cause an uproar if you're discovered to have killed a member of a rebel organization."
"But they've already slapped us in the face. I'm afraid our families will be affected. How can we not do anything?"
Leon the Thunder God said helplessly, "The company can't just watch us get beaten up and not fight back, can they?"
Liu Zhijian frowned when he heard this. He was actually reluctant to let this group of people do anything about this matter. After all, they were like international celebrities. Every word and action could be exposed to the public. Once their public image collapsed, it would cause the reputation of the Superpower Combative Police Force to be greatly damaged and even lead to a public boycott.
As internationally renowned international superstars, each member of the Superpower Combative Police Force was worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars. John the Guardian was worth more than a billion dollars. Once the reputation of the Superpower Combative Police Force was tarnished, it would mean a loss of billions of dollars. His current position would probably come to an end.
It was not easy to get to this position and Liu Zhijian did not want to retire early.
Still, having said that, as the person in charge of the Northern American branch of Blackwatch, he had to take care of the emotions of this group of team members. After all, Liu Zhijian also understood that this group of people was far from the righteous and awe-inspiring image that ordinary people saw.
Thinking of this, he had to appease them. "Don't worry, everyone. The company will send the B.S.S. Force to cooperate with the Northern American police department to secretly investigate this matter. If we really can't handle it, we'll definitely ask you guys to do it. At that time, we'll label this organization as a 'terrorist organization' and we'll make it impossible for them to make a comeback!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Leon the Thunder God and Jeff the Dragonfly Knight suddenly laughed. The expressions of John the Guardian and the rest of the team members also relaxed, apparently satisfied with Liu Zhijian's policy.
Just as the atmosphere in the conference room became more harmonious, the communicators on the wrists of the six Superpower Combative Police Force members suddenly sounded an alarm.
No one was too surprised by this change because as superheroes stationed in New York City, whenever there was a difficult and vicious case in New York City or a case that the New York City Police Department could not handle in a short time, they would first contact the few of them. This was how the reputation of the Superpower Combative Police Force was built up bit by bit.
"What's the matter?"
John the Guardian raised an eyebrow and he gently pressed a button on his wrist.
Suddenly, a miniature version of a 3D projection appeared above his communicator. A woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses was sitting there and said with an urgent expression, "Just now, the NYPD headquarters sent a mission. There is a robbery on Reston Street in Queens. Currently, the police are engaged in a fierce firefight with the robbers and there seems to be a psionicist among the robbers!"
"Psionicist?"
John suddenly narrowed his eyes as if thinking about something.
"Alright, this meeting is over."
Liu Zhijian waved his hand. "Time is of the essence. You guys go to the scene immediately and remember to be careful."
Everyone nodded and quickly left the conference room at the same time. They took the elevator to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, six drones that could carry personnel were on standby 24 hours a day. After they boarded the drones, they directly rushed to the scene under the control of the computer.
The drones used by the Superpower Combative Police Force were also specially designed by Blacklight Biotechnology. They had powerful nuclear-powered engines and could both take off vertically and fly at high speed. From their location to Reston Street in Queens, it only took them five minutes to arrive.
