Chapter 144

It can be said that it is still unknown whether there are a thousand such superpowers in the world.

So, don't be surprised that only Captain Liu and Xiao Zhang were sent to hunt down a ghoul. In fact, most similar cases in China are handled in this way. A small number of superpowers with combat capabilities lead a large number of specially trained ordinary soldiers. This combination is enough to deal with most situations.

As for the superpowers of various countries in online novels organizing world wars, it really can only appear in novels-any superpower is a very valuable asset to his/her country, and it is often the kind that cannot be replicated and has a limited existence time. No one would be stupid enough to let these precious assets be consumed in meaningless battles.

After all, the superpowers in the real world are not as destructive as large-scale modern armies. The ultimate strong people who can destroy the world and control time and space in those novels do not exist in reality, or at least they have not appeared yet.

In fact, in the eyes of most national regimes, the existence of superpowers is more about being an elite force in team operations, responsible for handling special events that most ordinary people cannot handle, and most importantly, being studied as research subjects by scientific researchers.

Yes, being studied, this is what superpowers in most major countries will inevitably experience after being discovered by the government.

However, this is definitely not the slice dissection research imagined by some paranoid patients, but a real, very formal and safe modern scientific research.

This is no exception in China.

For example, Captain Liu and Xiao Zhang, who were sent to Fang Yuan’s city, were ordered to stay here, and it is estimated that they will have to stay here for one or two years if nothing unexpected happens.

But in fact, they are still followed by a small scientific research team, who will check their physical condition and superpower strength every once in a while, and synchronize the data with the research center at the headquarters.

It can be said that while they are combatants, they still retain their identity as research subjects.

But there is nothing wrong with this. Both Captain Liu and Xiao Zhang found that after various inspections and studies, the many professional suggestions given by the researchers have played a huge role in improving their superpowers. The benefits they have gained have far exceeded the unpleasantness caused by being studied.

Of course, as the leaders of the research, the benefits that governments of various countries will gain will only be more than those of superpowers, not less.

Whether it is the help provided by superpowers in the material interference system in material research, or the deeper understanding of quantum mechanics obtained by studying the phenomenon of "superpowers triggering superpowers", and the promotion of biological and medical research by the genes of physical recovery superpowers... These research results that can be popularized are the real core interests of superpowers at the national level.

Therefore, now it seems that a wild superpower who is not under the jurisdiction of the government has appeared in China, and it is said that he is the most mysterious, weird and most research-worthy magician type among all superpowers. All countries that have obtained intelligence can't sit still-they must get this person before other countries! ')021'>Chapter 21 Perfect Stealth...

Although foreign intelligence agencies are eagerly waiting, and some people in China are furious, Fang Yuan still doesn't know that he has become a hot commodity.

He just sits at home with potato chips and drinks Coke, happily "watching" the national security personnel and these foreign suspicious personnel secretly tracking and counter-tracking, monitoring and counter-surveillance, fighting each other, and he also enjoys watching.

Yes, just sitting at home "watching".

Having had the experience of pure spiritual perspective when conducting alternative remote refining, and later studying the soul fixed refining formation, Fang Yuan not only invented the "life-extending resurrection refining formation", but also obtained some additional by-products.

For example, the "spiritual power amplification refining formation" he is using now is a kind of refining formation that converts the spiritual power into a wave that can pass freely in a wide space without material obstacles after frequency modulation and amplification, and can transmit all the information within the range of the wave back to the spiritual power subject.

Although Fang Yuan was almost blown up by the useless information that swarmed into his mind at the beginning, after filtering and limiting the part of the returned information, he could use this alchemy array very skillfully to transform himself into a mental radar.

——He is really becoming more and more like a magician now.

Although Fang Yuan could not spread his mental fluctuations without limit due to the limitation of the total amount of mental power, it was no problem to cover at least half of the city, just covering the residence of the group of foreigners - after all, the word "amplification" in the amplification alchemy array is one of the main functions of this alchemy array.

After watching the show for a while, Fang Yuan finally knew what these foreigners who were obviously skilled in martial arts were doing.

“…So they’re coming for me…” Fang Yuan was really a little surprised. He also learned from those English-speaking foreigners (he only knew English and a small amount of Japanese in modern foreign languages, but he knew more ancient languages…) and some national security surveillance personnel that his previous performance of freezing the six-kilometer underground canal was actually a very powerful performance among the superpowers, which made him even more speechless.

I haven’t even exerted my strength yet, and you’re already kneeling and singing “Conquer”? ! 　　——This is probably how he felt.

If those people knew that he could also create a national land refining formation, I don’t know what kind of evaluation they would give him…　　…　　After understanding the whole story, Fang Yuan didn’t plan to just stand there and watch.

The patriotism in his chest that had not yet cooled down made Fang Yuan unwilling to see these malicious foreigners making trouble in his own country, especially when they were coming for him——He decided to teach those people a profound lesson! So that night, Fang Yuan, who had made a set of the same bat suit as Wayne (Nolan version), took advantage of the night to sneak into the roof of a hotel where a group of American agents were located by gliding in the air.

Tonight, he will become justice! 　　Ahem! Well, this is just the result of Fang Yuan's bad taste and second-year syndrome breaking out at the same time.

On the other hand, Fang Yuan himself also likes the Batman trilogy directed by Nolan very much. He used to be very jealous of the very cool bat equipment in the movie. He bought a lot of peripherals during the movie's hot period. If he didn't have no money, he really wanted to buy a real version of the Batmobile to take home! 　　 (The real car is said to be worth more than 10 million yuan. Anyway, the loser author can only envy it...) 　　Now Fang Yuan has the ability to make a real bat suit by himself, and he naturally wants to try the feeling of wearing this suit to do justice.

However, when Fang Yuan landed silently on the roof of the hotel, before he took two steps, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell, and then stopped.

Looking back at the dark cloak dragging on the ground behind him, Fang Yuan was silent for two seconds, and then the light of alchemy flashed in his eyes, and the cloak was directly decomposed.

——This cloak is so cumbersome! 　　Fang Yuan didn't know how Master Wayne did it. Anyway, he couldn't wear this long cloak for close combat - he was afraid of being tripped by this rag even when walking! 　　After removing the burden, Fang Yuan felt relieved. Although he always felt that something was missing behind him, this light-weight appearance would not hinder his actions.

Wait, isn't it strange that Fang Yuan didn't move when he started alchemy just now? 　　This is another byproduct he obtained in his previous research.

Maybe Fang Yuan engraved too many alchemy arrays in his body, or maybe it was his talent. In short, he unknowingly found that he could give up the action of putting his hands together to form a circle, and directly use the circle that the human body has to perform alchemy - such as his pupils.

This is very close to the realm of the little man in the bottle before the fusion of truth. It can be said that Fang Yuan has unknowingly reached a certain height on the road of alchemy.

... Back to the topic.

After showing off his true power, Fang Yuan casually destroyed the door lock between the stairwell and the rooftop, and descended along the fire escape all the way to the floor where the group of Americans were - he had thought of breaking into the building directly from the outside of the window, but thinking that this seemed too conspicuous, Fang Yuan, who was determined to act secretly, had to give up this tempting idea.

Along the way, he destroyed all the surveillance cameras with alchemy. In his heart, Fang Yuan apologized to the hotel operator who suffered property losses, and then pushed all the responsibilities onto the group of uninvited foreign agents - who asked you to come to our country to make trouble, you see, you forced me to destroy public property! 　　Since it was already late at night, Fang Yuan was very lucky not to run into the hotel service staff, and he "sneaked" all the way to the outside of the room of the group of American agents.

Using the spirit amplification alchemy array engraved in the bat helmet, he sensed the situation in the room - very good, they all looked like they were asleep.

First, he used alchemy to turn off the lights in the corridor outside the door, and then silently decomposed the lock core of the room door lock. Fang Yuan quietly slipped into the room in his combat boots with silencer insoles. This was truly perfect silent stealth...　　Swish-　　A flash of knife light flashed in the darkness.

Fang Yuan dodged the blade attacking from behind the door, and instead of retreating, he leaned forward and elbowed, hitting the attacker's heart diaphragm hard with his elbow. The force was enough to cause cardiac arrest in an instant.

After Fang Yuan made a strike, he no longer cared about the attacker who slowly slid to the ground, but strode forward, like a blind fighting master in the lightless darkness, and knocked down the other two rebels with three punches and two kicks at random.

He hit them each on the back of the neck, making them completely unable to resist, and then restored the heartbeat of the attacker who had already gone into shock. Fang Yuan took out a few pairs of handcuffs from the tactical belt around his waist and handcuffed the three elite agents who tried to counterattack. He restored the lights in the corridor outside the door, turned back, closed the door, fixed the lock, turned on the lights in the room, and looked at the three agents lying on the ground in a coma. Fang Yuan felt a little ashamed.

——He was actually discovered while sneaking... Sure enough, he still lacked practice! PS: After killing the target and there are no witnesses, this should be considered a perfect stealth...')022'>Chapter 22 Spies have no human rights

The next day, national security agents who had been monitoring the group of Americans noticed something was wrong.

It was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and those few people still hadn't left the room - according to the practice of the past few days, they should have gone out around 8 o'clock.

The special agents simply ignored the possibility of the other party sleeping in. After all, they were all well-trained soldiers. It was impossible for them to sleep until 10 o'clock in the morning without getting up during the mission - unless it was required by the mission.

But obviously that's not the case now, so are those people finally starting to cause trouble? After reporting the situation to their superiors, after a short discussion, they finally decided to contact the hotel management so that the special service personnel could pretend to be waiters and test it out.

As a result, when the door was opened, they found that... the three foreigners had been stripped naked, tied into rice dumplings, and fell into a coma.

...When Captain Liu, who was in charge of this task, came here, she asked the operators on the scene: "What exactly was found?" "I think you should take a look at this."

Following the special agent's signal, Captain Liu saw a note on the table in the hotel room with a voice recorder on it.

Picking up the note, I found it written in printed characters: [To Captain Liu: You should know who I am.

These people are my gifts to you. For specific incriminating evidence, you can listen to the contents of the recorder.

As for the agents from other countries, I will also take care of them in the next few days.

But, I think it’s time to have an honest conversation.

Three days later, at 11 o'clock in the evening, there was a person alone on the rooftop of this hotel.

——The magician you are looking for] "...Well, it turns out that we are being watched all the time!" Captain Liu's face was full of gloom. This failed to find someone, but he was clearly being monitored from beginning to end. The feeling made her feel angry and had nowhere to vent her anger.

Picking up the voice recorder, I found three recording files inside.

Click on the first one: [Name? ] A hoarse and deep male voice was asking in English.

[Peter Adams...] The respondent's voice sounded a little sluggish and weak, but he still answered clearly.

[I mean your real name! You don’t think I would believe that the name you wrote on your passport is true, do you? answer me! ! ! ] The inquirer's voice became very angry, and the deep and hoarse voice suddenly reminded Captain Liu of Batman in the DC movie released some time ago.

[It's...it's Lawrence Charlie Kelvin...] [Very good, this is a good start! So let's move on - what are you and your companions' true identities? What intentions did you bring to China? Have you done anything illegal here? ] [I...I can't say...] [Answer me! ! ! ] [Yes... yes... an overseas agent affiliated with the CIA...] [Very good, continue! 】 【Our purpose...is...to recruit someone...】【Who to recruit? What is the identity and value of that person being recruited by you? 】 【... He is a powerful superpower. We don’t know his specific identity. He only has an internal code name, called TA Ice Magician.

] [...] There was a long silence.

[In other words, you are all spies and you came to China to develop members? 】 【...You can say that...】 【Have you done any other illegal acts in this country? 】【No...no...】【Tell the truth! ! ! 】 【Really... really not, I swear! I swear, I swear...] - The recording ends.

... "..." After listening to the recording, everyone, including Captain Liu, fell silent.

"...Keep the recording pen as evidence, and then take these people away! Others have already done the work for us, and we have to complete our own work!" In the end, Captain Liu made the final decision and just pressed the button The procedures for arresting foreign spies secretly escorted these three hapless men away.

Although there are some questions about the origin of the recording in her hand, and the content mentioned is not suitable for disclosure, it is at least a very useful breakthrough, which is suitable for opening the other party's mouth during a formal interrogation.

... After returning to the National Security Bureau, Captain Liu copied the audio from the voice recorder and played it repeatedly on the computer to listen to the details.

At this moment, Xiao Kai opened the door and walked in, and also heard the interrogation recording coming from the public speakers.

"...Is this guy the mysterious strong man we are looking for? I didn't expect that he is also good at interrogation! I can get so much information just by asking..." "Don't be stupid, it's Veritaserum!" Captain Liu denied Xiao Zhang's statement in one sentence: "The identification department has tested the blood of those people, and a certain sedative component was detected in the blood. It was obvious that they were interrogated while being drugged. ”

"..." Xiao Zhang was speechless.

"Then isn't this recording completely useless? If the words in this situation are used as evidence, the court will not trust it!" "No, it is still useful."

Captain Liu shook his head and denied Xiao Zhang's statement: "And as you are in this field, you should understand that although our country has always said that administration should be in accordance with the law and strict enforcement of the law, and we should rather indulge than be in vain when enforcing the law, espionage cases are different - Spies have no human rights!" "...That's right, the US government may not be willing to rescue these spies. They are probably abandoned children themselves!" "Abandoned children are not necessarily abandoned children..." At this point, Captain Liu's lips curled up. It made a beautiful arc, looking like a fox that had stolen a chicken: "Don't you know, one of those three unlucky guys is actually a superpower!" "...What?!!" " Yes, you heard that right! It was the man whose real name was Lawrence. During the physical examination, he was found to be a sensory-enhancing superpower with super hearing powers.

Although the research value of this kind of superpower is not high, it is still an important asset of a country after all. The Americans will probably be heartbroken to lose such an important asset! "...This is really...should we say that the mysterious boss is our lucky star?" He actually gave us such a big gift! "Xiao Zhang also expressed disbelief - are those Americans out of their minds? They would actually send a person with superpowers to perform a dangerous spy mission abroad. Is it true that the family is so big that they are not afraid of wasting it?! "That's right! , I heard that the mysterious strong man left a note for you at the scene, saying that he would take care of all the other foreign spies and that he wanted to date you alone? "Xiao Zhang suddenly mentioned the gossip that had been circulated in the bureau. Not only Captain Liu had seen the note, but also all the operators before her arrival, so the news could not be hidden.

Captain Liu: "This is an appointment, not a date!!!...Why are these guys spreading...the confidentiality regulations everywhere? Did they get eaten by dogs?!"')023'>Chapter 23 Happy Cooperation

Two days later, just as Fang Yuan promised, the agents and spies sent to this city from various countries were all found unconscious in their respective hotel rooms. Without exception, a recording pen was left behind at each scene. The interrogation tapes recording every unlucky person gave the national security agents an excuse to arrest them all.

As for the suspicion of drugging and physical means to force confessions in these recordings, they will lose their value as evidence... They have already been arrested, are you still afraid that the trial will not yield results? In short, Fang Yuan's effort, after clearing up some external hidden dangers for himself, is equivalent to giving a big gift package to the city's national security soldiers. At least the bonus at the end of this year should not be small.

And while everyone was busy prying out confessions with real legal significance from the mouths of the spies from various countries, Captain Liu appeared at 11 o'clock on the third night at the hotel where the Americans were captured. Rooftop.

Just as Fang Yuan requested, she came alone. Xiao Zhang, who originally asked to accompany her, was also declined by her. She did not want to leave a bad impression of being dishonest to the mysterious and powerful man she was about to meet.

When the standard Beijing time displayed on the phone jumped to eleven o'clock, Captain Liu raised his head as if aware of it and saw a familiar figure slowly descending from the sky.

Yes, this figure was really familiar. She had seen him on her computer just a few days ago.

It's Henry Cavill (the actor who plays Superman in the DC Universe series) - No, he's just an ordinary actor with strong chest muscles and thick hair. The man in front of him wears a Superman suit and really flies like Superman. He should be called Just for Clark Kent! Look at the dark blue tights with a sense of futuristic technology, the bright red cloak fluttering in the wind, the big "S" symbol printed on the chest, and the characters in the movie. With a completely identical handsome appearance, the man in front of him almost 100% restored the image of a real superman. For a moment, Captain Liu even thought that the other man had really stepped out of a movie.

"Hello, Captain Liu! Should I say first meeting?" However, the fluent Mandarin spoken by the other party immediately made the previous illusion disappear - Clark Kent's Mandarin does not have a southern accent! (Laughs) "...First meeting, this...Mr. Superman?" Captain Liu was also speechless at the bad taste of the person in front of her. She thought this meeting would be a very serious discussion, but she didn't expect that the other party actually The opening scene is so high-energy... "Let's call me a magician. Superman is just an image I chose at random today. I can change it to another one at any time if I want.

For example, like this-" As if to confirm what he said, blue lightning sparks flashed across the other party's body, and the original 100% restored Superman image had transformed into Batman wearing a bat cape.

"Changing my appearance is just a thought for me."

At this time, "Batman" even sounds like the real Batman.

"Another example is this -" The lightning flashed again, and he turned into Chris Hemsworth's version of Thor again, holding a replica of Thor's hammer in his hand. Against the background of the fine blue lightning, this cosplay really looks similar in form and spirit.

Finally, Fang Yuan restored his image to that of a superman, and then found that the beautiful lady opposite him was completely dumbfounded. Her chin that was about to fall to the ground seriously damaged her original image of a capable working woman, and she looked a little silly and cute. of.

"Ahem!" Captain Liu pressed his chin back, and then stretched out his right hand somewhat helplessly to shake hands: "My name is Liu Lingyun, Lingyun Zhuangzhi, captain of the third detachment of the National Security Special Incident Response Team. I am very happy to meet you. You, Mr. Magician..." Well, we finally know the full name of Captain Liu, who has appeared in several chapters. Liu Lingyun is really a very masculine name... "Hello."

Fang Yuan also shook the other party's hand in a friendly way, and then said: "Let me get straight to the point first! I have my own daily life, and I neither want to be a thug of the state machine nor get involved in those annoying political struggles. "

"...Yes, I understand..." But I don't understand why you want to cosplay into a movie character? Captain Liu tried her best to suppress her desire to complain. With a stiff expression, she directly changed the subject: "So, what do you plan to do..." "I will choose to cooperate with you on a limited basis. After all, I am also a Chinese and patriotic. I still have a heart and stuff.

If you have something you can't handle and need my strength, I'll help.

But correspondingly, I need to obtain your government’s official official information on the supernatural things that exist in the world. "

Fang Yuan put forward his requirements and conditions straightforwardly, and then quietly waited for the other party's reply.

"This... I think I need to ask my superiors for instructions..." Captain Liu was obviously caught off guard by Fang Yuan's request.

The first half of his request is okay. For such a powerful person whose true identity cannot be traced, since the other party has shown some goodwill, the official side will not be aggressive. This limited foreign aid cooperation model is just right.

However, Fang Yuan's subsequent proposal regarding sharing the country's intelligence on supernatural matters was beyond the scope of Captain Liu's authority.

"You can use the tiny headset in your ear to communicate with your superior. I don't mind."

Fang Yuan said indifferently, but after hearing his words, Captain Liu broke out in a cold sweat - it turned out that she had been discovered a long time ago... Yes, although she did come alone as per Fang Yuan's request. , but no one stipulates that she can't keep in touch with the people behind her in real time through the headset! Therefore, Captain Liu, who was a little embarrassed, stopped hiding it and reported the situation directly to the superior on the other end of the communication in front of Fang Yuan.

A few minutes later.

"Mr. Magician, we agree in principle with your terms of cooperation. However, since this is our first cooperation, the level of intelligence we provide may be somewhat limited at the initial stage. When our mutual trust reaches a certain stage, subsequent updates will be made. Only high-level information will be released to you, what do you think of such a request?" Captain Liu suggested with some hope and trepidation.

Fang Yuan, who was facing Henry Cavill, raised the corners of his mouth and stretched out his right hand forward: "Happy cooperation!" "...Happy cooperation!"')024'>Chapter 24: Overview of Supernatural Phenomena in the Real World

Bang—— With a somewhat heavy landing sound, Fang Yuan, who transformed into Superman, landed in an uninhabited alley without surveillance.

"Huh-huh-flying with controlled air flow is much more tiring than I thought!" He panted and rested against the wall. Although there seemed to be no physical exertion, the long-term and continuous mental power output caused the dizziness. Fang Yuan almost lost his balance.

In order to have a head start in this face-to-face interview, Fang Yuan chose to appear in a flying posture. For this purpose, he even specially modified the airflow control formation array he had used before to be able to support the human body in flight. Judging from the results of this use, the effect is pretty good.

——It was just that the consumption of mental energy was too great. The flight, which lasted only a few dozen minutes, plus a few transformations to show off, almost drained his mental energy.

"It seems that improving the strength of mental power has to be put on the schedule!" Because the alchemist profession actually relies more on intelligence and knowledge accumulation than mental power, so Fang Yuan didn't really care about improving mental strength before. The problem of strength.

But after once again exhausting his mental power due to long-term alchemy, he finally understood that basic attributes are still very important.

However, the accumulation of mental power does not happen overnight, and the meditation method he learned from the new people is not of a high level, so this is destined to be a long-term task measured in years.

Therefore, after adding two hours of daily meditation to his daily practice, Fang Yuan turned his attention to the first batch of supernatural event information sent from the National Security Bureau.

Because he didn't want to expose his true identity, Fang Yuan took the initiative to come to the door to get the information.

Then, when a large group of national security staff watched the white-robed mage Gandalf fall from the sky, their expressions were like this: (⊙?⊙) Back to the topic.

When Fang Yuan came into contact with official information on supernatural events from the government, he finally had a clearer understanding of the existence of supernatural forces in the world - at least in the country.

First of all, judging from the frequency of occurrence, supernatural events in the real world are actually very rare. The scope of this "event" includes the awakening and discovery of supernatural people, haunted supernatural phenomena, inexplicable monsters, strange phenomena that cannot be explained by existing science, etc.

And in the more than 60 years since the founding of New China, no more than 200 supernatural events of various types have been discovered and confirmed to be authentic, and more than half of them have only appeared in the past 20 years.
