It is suspected that something came to Blue Star from Asta, and the IP address of the lucky player who encountered a level 5 mage at the beginning happened to be in Gotham, where Chen Zhou currently lives temporarily.
He was thinking that these Blue Star people sent him here 1000% because they wanted him to investigate this matter.
Facing the people of the Star who wanted him to work seriously all day long, Chen Zhou decided to keep his plan as usual and have fun in Gotham as he wanted...
…
“An international metropolis is bustling, but it’s a pity that the roads are a bit difficult to navigate.”
After a day of visiting an amusement park and a toy store, Chen's biggest impression was that the roads in Gotham were not as comfortable to walk on as the straight north and south roads in his hometown.
As evening approached, he took Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Hatchling to the cinema after spending a whole day shopping outside, preparing for a popcorn feast.
"Wanda actually drove here."
It happened to be the weekend, and many couples and parents were relaxing with their children, and the movie schedule was basically family-friendly movies.
After taking a look, the first scene was a weird movie about three idiots causing trouble in Hollywood. Mr. Chen Zhou connected this movie to an Indian movie. At first, when he saw the name, he thought it was a sequel to that one.
Probably because he has just arrived in this world not long ago, he has not yet adapted to the preference for movies here.
The only good thing is that the A-mei in this world don’t seem to pay much attention to political correctness and dividing people’s gender into dozens of categories.
"Lily is very curious about the world where gender is divided into dozens of categories. 』
It is a dragon after all.
"There's no need to understand this kind of thing, just read the story."
"Using something other than biology to divide gender is nothing more than eating too much."
Although Chen would like to endorse this view, there is no need to discriminate against people with mental illness.
However, after the group passed the ticket check-in and entered the theater, they noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere.
It's like someone is secretly preparing to cause a riot? It's full of chilling atmosphere?
After hanging out in Asta for so long, he can feel a similar environment to some extent.
Therefore, Chen Zhou used the cover of illusion to cast a large-scale "detection magic". Sure enough, he found many people exuding magical aura among the audience scattered throughout the theater.
The auras on these people are different from those usually detected. They are probably the rumored superpowers.
With so many professionals gathered in one place, it may be another action of the new human organization.
"Life in Gotham is really miserable."
While lamenting the joke that had entered his life, he entered the screening room as usual without taking it seriously.
Chen Zhou wanted to see what kind of work these superpowers were going to do!
Half an hour later.
Chen Zhou: ZZZ~
Facts have proved that even if the messy politically correct elements are removed, a bad movie will not be promoted to a blockbuster. He had already tasted enough before time traveling and fell asleep out of boredom after a while.
However, before the second scene of the movie "Spider-Man vs. Godzilla" was about to play, a familiar figure replaced the fat woman who kept munching popcorn in the previous scene.
It was a clean and simple Asian young man. After entering the screening room, he frowned and looked around the hall for a long time, and finally sat down next to Chen and Lily.
The young man who sat down nodded to Lily, who was pretending to be a little girl with a curious look on her face. Then, while scrolling through her mobile phone, she observed a few interesting figures in the dim projection room with her peripheral vision.
After careful observation, Wolong and Fengxia both sensed from each other the style of a certain star citizen who was supposed to say goodbye to them forever.
"A repeater?"
Finally, Jerry called out tentatively.
Hearing this, the capable Asian young man looked extremely surprised and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
However, due to the illusion, Jerry's figure did not appear.
In the eyes of the young Asian man known as a repeater, the other person was just a middle-aged man who took his daughter to watch a movie but ended up falling asleep.
Chen Zhou used illusions to give himself the illusion that he was indeed middle-aged... After all, at his age before time travel, he could not give birth to a little girl who looked like a teenager, so he could easily be stopped by the police like Amei.
After hesitating for a moment, the repeater whispered tentatively: "Tiger, are you ready to wake up?"
Chen Zhou: ZZZ
"It's me. Lily thought she would never see you again." 』
More than a month ago, after entering the Death Demon Zone, all the Star People who were originally on the Obsidian disappeared without a trace. They were physically disconnected and could never be reconnected.
At that time, Chen and Lily thought they would never see each other again on the ship's repeater. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet each other in this world.
"Don't make me sound like I'm dead. In fact, it's not an accidental encounter." The repeater sighed and scratched his head with complicated emotions. "I'm a private detective, an archbishop who is inconvenient to take action in Gotham. They were hired to investigate.”
Private detective... is a very unprofitable profession in China, but it's okay here in Ami.
Usually the repeater can only catch cheaters and follow other people's activities, but this time the task received from the Archbishop, who is temporarily considered a netizen, is to investigate an organization that has become famous in recent times.
"Are they the new humans? Those crazy people who think people with super powers are otherworldly and decide to rule the world?"
"The new humans have big problems, but they are not what I want to investigate."
The repeater glanced at the surroundings with his peripheral vision, and then whispered: "I am investigating a sect. They try to make the god they believe in be born as a 'Bao Ling' supernatural phenomenon."
Mortals always seem to be interested in gods, ghosts and the like.
After realizing that those strange spirits could appear and gain abilities based on collective consciousness, an organization called "House of Hope", which is both a sect and a charity, became interested.
"Charity? It sounds like a pretty good organization, but this kind of supernatural phenomenon cannot accommodate the personality of a god. 』
Just as a glass of water cannot contain an entire ocean, a mere "eating spirit" cannot contain a god.
Even if they do come up with something specious, it is at most just human fantasy and a certain aspect of the gods they hope for.
"That's not necessarily true. In fact, compared to evil spirits or satanic spirits, pseudo-contract spirits are the most suitable names for them."
Qi Ling is a being that is neither alive nor dead.
Things that have no existence live in the invisible place.
Those beings cursed by the gods and feared by mortals are outside the boundaries between life and non-life, death and non-death.
Even the most powerful gods cannot directly touch their existence, but even the weakest mortals can summon and use their power.
Those possible existences that are given form by the will of mortals are one of the forms of existence of contract spirits.
