Iceland, at the base of the Hof Glacier, 2 AM local time on August 29th.
"Restricted-level Superpower User, Number 1002—Ji... Ji... Ming... Ming..."
A hoarse voice emanated from the penguin-like broadcast device, much like a TV losing signal. The voice stuttered, twitching intermittently, sending chills down one's spine.
Ji Minghuan woke up in response, opening his eyes to stare quietly at the penguin broadcast on the ceiling in the darkness. After a long moment, the eerie sound finally ceased.
For a moment, the confinement room became as silent as the deep sea, so quiet that one could hear a ringing in their ears.
"What just happened, is every piece of equipment from the Salvation Society so amateurish..."
Ji Minghuan muttered, slowly getting up, and sat on the bed, looking around with confusion.
Usually, when the mentor made an announcement, the lights in the confinement room would light up first, waking him from sleep, but now the room was pitch dark with no sign of light.
