The Super Power Association is very spacious, occupying two floors of a commercial building.
There are also a lot of staff, probably close to three figures. Their main job is to receive superpowers from all over Japan and help them solve some problems within their capabilities.
It seems to be a completely loss-making business. No matter how big the business is, it cannot withstand the bottomless pit of losses.
But in fact, the Superpower Association has profitable projects - it cooperates with the government and major companies and universities to allow people with abilities to participate in various research projects on a voluntary basis, and the employment fees are divided with the association.
This income alone is enough to balance the association's revenue and expenditure. If you make some PPTs and make investments, you can achieve financial freedom.
Compared with many shell companies on the market, as the number of people with super powers increases, the Super Power Association may become a hen that lays golden eggs in the future, and many people want to invest.
Under the leadership of Bai Yuelin, Xu Cheng and Yudera Qianhe came to a reception room.
As soon as she sat down, Chizuru Godera couldn't wait to ask: "President Baiyue, is there any way to solve the problem of my brother's soul?"
"Don't worry, Captain Godera."
Bai Yuelin said calmly: "Can you let me and Mr. Xinghai talk alone first?"
Yudera Qianhe immediately turned to look at Xu Cheng, while Xu Cheng's heart tightened.
This scheming woman shouldn't have noticed anything, right?
After all, the last time Xinghaiguang took off his vest, they had seen his soul. Maybe they would discover the similarities between his body and his soul this morning.
Xu Cheng began to have random thoughts. He was about to suffer from PTSD from Bai Yuelin, and he suspected that every move she made had a purpose.
Godera Qianhe was still asking him if he agreed with his eyes, and Bai Yuerin was also looking at him with a smile.
Facing the gazes of the two men, he had no choice but to nod his head.
The two of them got up and left the reception room and went to the next door, leaving only Chizuru Odera and Ayase Aragaki staring at each other.
As soon as Chizuru Godera stretched out her hand, Ayase Aragaki immediately jumped up from the sofa and hid in the back: "Don't mess around. Rin is next door. She can hear me when I call."
Although she was rude to Uehara Ryo and would make sarcastic remarks every time they met, but when faced with Chizuru Godera, the leader of the special response force, she had a psychological shadow and had been severely bullied by her in the past.
Chizuru Godera reached out to pick up the tea on the table and took a sip.
She has no interest in bullying her little friends now, but is just curious about what Bai Yuelin and Xu Cheng will talk in private.
Seeing that Chizuru Odera remained silent, Ayase Aragaki thought she was afraid, and her courage suddenly suppressed her fear: "This is the headquarters of the Super Power Association, and it is my territory. You'd better be honest with me, old woman. "
Chizuru Godera suddenly raised her head and stared at her, her eyes emitting a cross-shaped red light.
…
Xu Cheng followed Bai Yuelin to another room next door, thinking secretly in his heart, what would he do if Bai Yuelin exposed his vest?
"Please take a seat, Xinghai-kun."
Bai Yuelin made an inviting gesture, and then sat elegantly on the sofa.
She was wearing a hip-hugging skirt and a knitted sweater today. Under the skirt were two slender legs wrapped in black silk.
The figure is not like the plump and fleshy figure of Chizuru Godera or Yukina Hoshizaki, but more like the near-perfect body fat rate of Akimiya Yuki. If you gain one point, you will be fatter, and if you lose one point, you will be thinner.
From the appearance point of view, the two sides are equally matched and of different types.
Many men would be so overwhelmed by being looked upon by such a beautiful woman that they could even think of their child's name in their mind.
But Xu Cheng was only wary of her and fearful of being seen through her secret.
"Don't be nervous, Xinghai-kun."
Bai Yuelin seemed to notice Xu Cheng's vigilance, and comforted him with a friendly smile on his face: "We have known each other for a long time. Do you think I am someone who will hurt you?"
You can't, you just block the door of my house and want to touch me.
Xu Cheng cursed in his heart, and then tightened his expression to prevent her from seeing any flaws: "President Bai Yue, do you have anything to talk to me about alone?"
Bai Yuelin could feel that Xu Cheng's attitude had changed today from usual. She thought about it and replied: "Because there are some things that are not suitable for Captain Yusi to know. After all, she is from the Countermeasures Department."
Her expression became slightly more serious: "The Protectorate held a secret gathering at the Amaterasu Grand Shrine on Mount Kuntori, but was massacred. Is it you who did this?"
Xu Cheng had not expected that this matter could be hidden, but he was still a little surprised that it was known so quickly: "President Bai Yue, last time at the Kande Hotel, I asked you about the information about the Protectorate, and you also said You don’t understand.”
Bai Yuelin's expression remained unchanged: "That's right. I learned more about it afterward, and the result surprised me. I didn't expect that such a right-wing organization still exists in our country."
I believe you.
Xu Cheng neither admitted that he did it nor denied it: "President Bai Yue, does this have anything to do with solving the soul behind me?"
"Of course."
Bai Yuelin smiled slightly: "Let's make a deal, Mr. Xinghai. Just like last time, I will help you deal with the soul behind it, and you will help me deal with a person."
Xu Cheng said quickly: "It is against the law to commit murder."
Bai Yuelin's calm expression was slightly startled, and she looked like "do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Xu. Murderous. Cheng smiled awkwardly: "Who are you trying to kill?"
Bai Yuelin then said: "Although you have eliminated most of the members of the Protectorate, there are still a few who escaped. Among them is a person who has important secrets. We cannot let him fall into the hands of the Countermeasures Department. This is the person you have to deal with.”
As she spoke, she took out a photo, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng picked up the photo and looked at it. It showed a very familiar young man. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that wasn't this guy one of the two Kagebei who fought with him at the shrine that night?
Not dead!
Bai Yuelin persuaded: "This person escaped from Amaterasu Grand Shrine. He may have seen your secret. You don't want him to still be alive in the world, right?"
Xu Cheng put down the photo: "Tell me first, what important secret does this person have? Why can't it fall into the hands of the Countermeasures Department?"
Bai Yuelin had long been prepared to reveal it to Xu Cheng, and said without hesitation: "Xinghaijun has entered the Tomb of Lingzi, and has also witnessed the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony of the Protectorate. You should know where Gao Tianyuan is, right? This person knows Gao Tianyuan." Where the entrance is is also an important goal of the Countermeasures Department."
Xu Cheng thought of the door that blew out the spirit wind during the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. According to the Protectorate, it was Takamagahara inside, and Amaterasu lived in it.
He asked strangely: "Can't the entrance to Takamagahara be opened with a crack of a knife? And why do you want to prevent the Countermeasures Department from finding this person?"
"It is true that the entrance to Gao Tianyuan can be temporarily opened with the Tian Congyun Sword, but the whereabouts of the Tian Congyun Sword are unknown, and Gao Tianyuan actually has a fixed entrance, which is in the hands of the Protectorate."
Bai Yuelin lowered his eyes: "It is my personal reason to block the countermeasures department, and it is not convenient for me to disclose it to you."
Xu Cheng thought for a moment, and although there was a risk of being used as a gunman by Bai Yuelin, it wouldn't be a loss if the problem of Bachi Jing's possession could be solved.
Moreover, he also wanted to find the fugitive member of the Protectorate and ask if there was any connection between Gao Tianyuan and Lingzi Tomb.
"Okay, I accept this deal."
"This will be a wise decision, Mr. Xinghai."
Bai Yuelin took out the three photos he had prepared: "This trip may conflict with the Countermeasures Department. You need to be especially careful with these three people. They are elite soldiers of the Countermeasures Department, and their strength may be stronger than yours in Lingzi Tomb." The invisible ones encountered in the battle are even stronger."
"Stronger than the Invisible One?"
Xu Cheng picked up the photo in surprise: "How come I haven't seen her next to Sister Qianhe?"
Chizuru Godera is the commander-in-chief of the special response force. If there is someone stronger than the Invisible One, he will definitely not be unknown, at least he will be the deputy commander-in-chief or something like that.
The photo shows three people of different ages and genders, a strong man in a suit, a young woman, and a teenager.
Bai Yuelin noticed Xu Cheng's name for Chizuru Godera and secretly remembered it in her mind: "Captain Godera is a very strong person. She probably hasn't told you that the special response force has been marginalized within the countermeasures department. New Minister Kim Wu Masato has brought a large number of agents and ability users, and these three are the subordinates he brought, and they have become prominent recently."
Xu Cheng was surprised. Yudera Qianhe had never told him these things.
Bai Yuelin took out another detailed map with a red dot marked on it: "The target should be at this place in the past two days. The countermeasures department has also started taking action. Xinghai-kun had better leave today."
Xu Cheng put away the map and photos: "Wait for my good news."
"Then I wish you good luck in martial arts."
When the two were about to leave the room, Bai Yuelin suddenly called him: "Xinghaijun, is the Eight Chi Mirror on you?"
Xu Cheng laughed at himself: "President Bai Yue, are you asking questions knowingly?"
The video of him transforming into a Vulcan has been trending on social media for several days. Even Japanese people almost recognize his face.
Anyone who knows about the existence of the Three Divine Artifacts should know that the Eight Chi Mirror is on him.
"I didn't mean to tease you, I just reminded you."
Bai Yuelin said seriously: "The Countermeasures Department has always hoped to collect the three artifacts. They know that the Eight Chi Mirror is on you, and they will attack you sooner or later. Please be careful."
Feeling the sincerity in her eyes, Xu Cheng nodded.
When the two came to the meeting room outside, they found Ayase Aragaki shivering in the corner, her clothes were messy, and her hair was like a chicken coop.
On the other hand, Chizuru Godera was drinking tea in Danding.
Xu Cheng was shocked, thinking that Chizuru Odera had become animalistic and violated Ayase Aragaki.
He quickly looked at Bai Yuelin, only to find that Bai Yuelin still had a friendly smile on her face and turned a blind eye to the tragic situation of Ayase Aragaki: "Let me send you two out."
What kind of Japanese besties are these? Your friendship is made of plastic, right?
After leaving the headquarters of the Super Power Association, Chizuru Godera immediately asked impatiently: "What did Bai Yuerin talk to you?"
The reason why Bai Yuelin wanted to avoid Odera Qianhe was because the deal with Xu Cheng involved the Countermeasures Department.
But she probably didn't expect that the relationship between Xu Cheng and Yudera Chizuru would be so deep. After all, they were brothers.
Xu Cheng couldn't help but glance at Yudera Qianhe's delicate hands and thighs.
Well, yes, it is indeed brotherhood.
After listening to Xu Cheng's story, Godera Chizuru couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect you, sister, to know about my predicament. Facing Jinwu Yaren's strength, I am indeed powerless and cannot defeat him."
Seeing that she was in a low mood, Xu Cheng couldn't help but want to comfort her. Unexpectedly, she looked away and put her arms around Xu Cheng's shoulders: "Don't comfort me. I don't value this job too much. Even if I am dismissed by then, I'll be kicked out and the villa is reclaimed, so you will definitely take me in."
Xu Cheng: "..."
Seeing that Xu Cheng remained silent, Yudera Qianhe's expression changed slightly: "You will take me in, right?"
Xu Cheng: "..."
Sorry, I want to, but my family may not agree.
…
Night falls.
In the dark mountains, only an apartment-style villa built halfway up the mountain still had lights on.
A car was driving along the winding mountain road. In the back seat, the only surviving Kagebei of the Protectorate was closing his eyes and concentrating.
There were two strong men in black clothes sandwiched next to them. They looked like bodyguards but also like monitors.
This strange atmosphere made the car extremely dull, and no one spoke.
The car soon arrived at the gate of the villa. After accepting the guard's questioning, he opened the iron door and let them in.
In front of the villa, several dark figures were explored in the dense woods, staring at the brightly lit villa in the darkness.
"Snapped!"
Hiroshi Takatani slapped his face hard, killing several mosquitoes.
Even if you apply anti-mosquito liquid on your body, you can't stop the mosquitoes from lying in the deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night.
After scratching the itchy wrist that was bitten, he couldn't help but sigh, how could he have fallen into this situation.
The beautifully air-conditioned office and the blond lady who was good at teaching seemed like yesterday's smoke, leaving only her son who was waiting to be fed and a little salary that could not make ends meet.
If he could do it all over again, he would rather see the gate than agree to his boss's request and join the big pit of the Countermeasures Department.
Lying next to Hiroshi Takatani is his confidant Ai-chan, oh no, now it's his close colleague, Masahide Ono.
Ono Masahide was rewarded and promoted by the Countermeasures Department last time because he knocked down the enemy with a mop and shit on the street and saved his teammate Hiroshi Takatani. Now he has been promoted to the same team leader position as Hiroshi Takatani.
The reason why Hiroshi Takatani is still unwilling to resign is that he can't stand the fact that his former subordinate Masahide Ono is on an equal footing with him.
Therefore, he must work hard to make contributions before retiring, and be promoted to surpass this former subordinate, otherwise he will die in peace.
"Listen to me, go home early, there are no good people in the bar..."
Ono Masahide was quietly on the phone and hung up after a long while.
Hiroshi Takatani stared at him coldly: "Don't you know you can't turn on your phone during a mission?"
Ono Masahide put his arm around him and said affectionately: "Oh, Takatani, we are all old colleagues. Just turn a blind eye."
Hiroshi Takatani felt his blood surge and he was about to get angry subconsciously, telling him to go back and write a 1.5 million-word report for himself.
But when I thought that I no longer had the power to ask him to write a report, I suddenly became less interested.
After a moment of silence, Hiroshi Takatani ran out of words to ask: "Who is the person calling you?"
Ono Masahide said helplessly: "She's my girlfriend. Hey, she goes to the bar to drink when I'm not around every day and doesn't go home all night long."
Hiroshi Takatani couldn't help but express his experience: "Are you going to just ignore it? Women have to be in charge."
"I originally wanted to take care of it."
Ono Changying shook his head: "But her husband doesn't care, so why should I care?"
Hiroshi Takatani: "..."
The other agents lurking nearby gave a thumbs up to Ono Masahide in the dark.
…
In the villa, an old man with a slightly plump physique was pacing back and forth in the living room covered with expensive Persian carpets.
He had a cigar in his mouth, and his gloomy eyes and face showed that he was not in a good mood.
This old man's name is Yamano Kazuo, he is the owner of this villa and a member of the Protectorate Council.
On the day of the heavenly sacrifice ceremony, he did not participate because of poor health. Unexpectedly, he escaped and escaped the massacre by the gravediggers of the Protectorate.
Afterwards, Yamano Kazuo tried to contact other surviving members of the Protectorate, only to find that the entire Protectorate had almost been torn apart and was about to become an unbreakable alliance.
The Protectorate has always adopted a flat management. Except for the high priest, the other members do not have obvious superiors and subordinates, and they try to minimize contact and collective activities.
The advantage of this is that it can be hidden behind the scenes, but the disadvantage is that once a member is accidentally killed, the family behind him may leave the Protectorate.
But as long as most of the members of the Protectorate are here, these separated families can be brought back at any time.
For thousands of years, the Protectorate has existed stably in this way, but the people who originally set up this system probably did not expect that one day, most of the members of the Protectorate would be slaughtered in one go.
Now, unless a strong figure steps forward to integrate the remaining members and immediately rebuild, the Protectorate will sooner or later fall into complete division and demise.
But at this time, the disadvantage of not distinguishing between upper and lower levels appeared. Without the high priest, the remaining members would not obey anyone. How to choose a new leader?
Yamano Kazuo was pacing irritably when a servant came in from outside the living room and whispered something in his ear.
The only surviving Kagebei walked in from outside the living room and was hugged tightly by Yamano Kazuo with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work, Kagebei, don't worry, you will be safe when you come to me."
Yamano Kazuo patted Kagebei's back affectionately: "You need to have a good rest, we will need your strength to rebuild the Protectorate."
Seeing Yamano Kazuo's smile, Kagebei was very moved. After he escaped from Amaterasu Grand Shrine, he was in panic all day long, and many surviving members of the Guardian Council could not be contacted.
Only Yamano Kazuo was willing to accept him and let him feel the warmth of home.
"Sorry, Yamano-kun."
Kagebei's eyes were wet, and he said sadly: "It was us who failed to protect the high priest and other members."
Yamano Kazuo comforted him: "It's okay. This is not your fault. We can only blame the enemy for being too cunning."
After the two sides exchanged a few words and sent the moved Kagebei off to rest, Yamano Kazuo's face became extremely ugly.
He spit on the ground fiercely: "Damn it, Baga Ya Road. If you don't run anywhere else, you run to me. Aren't you causing trouble for me?"
