A reasonable explanation
A moment ago, many Dongfeng Warriors drove into the vast grounds of the fishing island state guesthouse.
This time, they were no longer exempted from inspection. At the sentry post, one car after another was checked for identification, compared with the witnesses, and then allowed to pass. A surprised question sounded from an extended military vehicle.
“Aiyo, are we going to Building 18?”
In the passenger seat of the car, a young man in his twenties raised his eyebrows in surprise. He was wearing a white casual outfit and chewing gum.” Which deity are we going to see?”
” What?” Seeing that no one answered, he turned around and looked around.” Brothers, sisters, do you know?”
Beside them sat a man and a woman, both dressed like ordinary people. Opposite them sat three soldiers from the People’s Liberation Army. They sat upright and straight. Their subconscious senses told each other that they were the same kind.
However, it seemed like they were completely different.
The middle-aged man sitting on the left was wearing a Tang suit and had a bracelet on his arm. He looked like a cultured person, but he was scrolling through TikTok on his phone. The speaker was letting out a burst of crazy laughter.
Although he had a kind smile on his face, he ignored the young man’s question.
The woman sitting on the right was holding a branded bag and had permed her hair. She had just touched up her makeup with a small mirror. Her lipstick was like a flame, and her figure was curvy. She was covered in luxury goods and was bejeweled. At this moment, she was using her iPhone to browse Weibo and like her idols one by one.
Naturally, he didn’t hear it either.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across the young man’s eyes. He was already unhappy that an ordinary person was ignored and ignored by the people around him when he asked questions, let alone him. Whether it was in the police station or in society, he had never seen such impoliteness.
He raised his voice and looked at the three soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army opposite him.
A soldier sitting in the middle frowned and said,” We are officers, but we are not old. Besides, I don’t know. Our duty is to follow orders. Since the leader doesn’t say it, we don’t have to know.”
The young man clicked his tongue.” Why are you so serious? But I’m quite curious. Did you join the army first before you awakened, or did you only join the army after you awakened?”
“No comment.”
” I’m guessing that I joined the army first before enlisting. Take me for example. After I awakened, the country found me and gave me two paths. I joined the army or became a civil servant. Of course, I became a civil servant. The army protects the country. Of course, it sounds good, but I don’t want to be controlled by others, nor do I want to suffer.”
The young man seemed to be very talkative. He smiled and said,”Isn’t it better now? “I go to work at the institute every day, cooperate with the research, and develop my abilities. I feel that I’m the kind of person who’s more talented. I don’t have to work hard, and my abilities improve very quickly. I’m considered to have been born into a good family. After work every day, I can do whatever I want. The country will allocate housing, and there are endless benefits every month. I don’t have to spend money on anything I buy, and I don’t have to buy a house to take out a loan. What can I do?”
He stretched lazily and smiled.” Of course, I’m going to the nightclub. My ability is related to that, so it’s awesome…” Don’t look at me like that. We’re all adults. Everyone goes to the nightclub to get what they need. I didn’t break any laws or discipline. It’s not that I’m unpatriotic. We’re all contributing to the motherland in different positions.”
At this point, the young man raised his eyebrows and said to several comrades of the People’s Liberation Army,” Sigh, you guys have a high level of awareness. Life in the army is so hard and boring, but you can actually endure it. How about it? If there’s a chance, you can take a vacation. I’ll take you to find a place to play. My treat! Sigh, I guess your allowance is not as high as my salary. This is really too hard…”
There were two men and one woman in front of them. The major in the middle didn’t answer, hiding the disdain in his eyes. The short-haired female captain next to him seemed to have heard nothing, and the male captain on the other side seemed to be deep in thought.
” Aiyo, the lady from the People’s Liberation Army, she’s a heroine.”
Looking at the other party’s pure, sweet, and healthy figure, the young man’s eyes were filled with admiration and sizing her up. He asked,” Look at this sister beside me. She’s buying and buying as if she’s chasing after a star. As long as she’s willing, it’s probably not a problem for her to chase after a star at a negative distance…” What are you doing in the army?”
The female captain raised her head and looked at him. A sweet smile suddenly bloomed on her indifferent face.
“Of course…” She smiled and said,” When people like you break the law, I can kill you under orders.”
The temperature in the car plummeted, and even the two supernatural beings who were playing with their phones looked up in surprise.
The young man was shocked. He saw a very real and pure primitive desire in the other party’s eyes. It was the gaze of a predator.
He subconsciously smiled awkwardly. Little sister, you have quite a character.”
At this moment, the car was slowing down.
A calm voice came from the front passenger seat.” Alright, everyone, get ready to get off. It’s time to visit our guest. I believe your leader has already instructed you to maintain respect. You might be curious about who you want to meet. I can tell you that his name is Kant.”
“The most powerful esper in the world,” the senior colonel said after a pause.
The six supernatural beings in the carriage all had a change in expression.
“F * ck, so fierce?” The young man subconsciously asked,” Who gave it to him? Country?”
“No.” The senior colonel replied,” He did it himself.”
Even the three soldiers who were sitting upright and maintaining discipline looked at each other, seeing curiosity, doubt, and disbelief in each other’s eyes.
There was no number one in literature and no number two in martial arts. This was a common sense since ancient times. The army respected the strong and pursued strength. Challenge, breakthrough, and struggle were also popular. This was the instinct of every qualified soldier.
” Eh, wait, I seem to have heard this name somewhere before.”
The fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful supernatural being who had been silent all this while suddenly spoke. She opened Weibo and searched for Kant’s name. Then, she exclaimed,” Ah, as expected. It’s that Fei Qiu!” The one who went to Africa to save his father! The one who stole my brother’s number one trending search!”
The internet had memories. Moreover, the news of Kant saving his father was a world-class trending topic. It was enthusiastically discussed both at home and abroad. There was also follow-up news. In particular, after saving his father from afar, he accidentally saved the king of the other country and was then conferred the title of chieftain by the grateful king. This legendary experience and the title of non-chieftain were naturally ridiculed by the idiotic netizens.
“I knew it. That guy seems to have awakened.”
The young man slapped his thigh and raised his eyebrows.” No, I’ve seen those few GIFs and videos. They are indeed very powerful. But is this the strongest esper in the world?”
The senior colonel didn’t answer. He exchanged a look with the other officer.
His expression was meaningful.
“You’ll know after you meet him.”
Qin Mengjin was already waiting for him when he opened the double doors of the presidential suite.
“The comrades from the army have arrived.”
“Is it convenient now?” she asked with a smile. Let them wait for a while.”
Kant shrugged.” It’s not inconvenient. Let’s go.”
He closed the door and walked to the elevator with Qin Mengjin.
The girl pressed the button, and a faint fragrance came.
Kant turned his head and saw that the civil servant girl was wearing a pair of square-framed glasses and holding a folder in her other hand. Her ponytail had been untied and coiled up, revealing her delicate neck and small earlobes. Compared to her previous valiant and lively self, she had an intellectual and steady air about her.
” What’s wrong?” Qin Mengjin seemed to have noticed Kant’s gaze. She subconsciously tucked her hair behind her ear and blinked.
“She actually changed her style.”
What kind of person was Kant? He had been through hundreds of battles in the other world. He was a princess that could topple a country, a phoenix king of two generations, and a noble dragon lady…He chatted and laughed with these beauties.
Even though he was still a virgin, his immunity had long since been raised. He was able to remain calm and collected when faced with the beautiful girl’s body language and eye movements at such a close distance.
“It looks good,” he praised politely.
“Thank you.” Qin Mengjin pursed her lips.” From now on, I’m going to cooperate and assist you as your secretary. This is an important job, and you have to take it seriously. So, change your hairstyle and remind yourself to get into the zone.”
The elevator door slowly opened, and Sister Qin followed Kant in.
“By the way, the comrades from Institute 507 are here too.”
” What?” Kant turned around.
“507.” Qin Mengjin repeated,” Imperial Capital Aerospace Medical Engineering Research Institute, formerly known as the Cosmic Medicine and Engineering Research Institute…The code name is 507.”
” It sounds like a place to train astronauts?” Kant frowned.
Sister Qin smiled.” In the past, I wasn’t. In the past, I was. But now, I’m not.”
“How roundabout.” Kang De found the name familiar. Qin Mengjin had mentioned it before. He picked up his phone and searched for it. His expression became a little strange.” It’s really a place with a story.”
Qin Mengjin didn’t continue the topic and continued,”There are a few supernatural beings who have been recruited by the country.”
” I’ve seen them,” Kant said casually as he browsed through the rumors online.” They’re all pretty impressive.”
“Why? Do we still have to spar here?” he joked.
Qin Mengjin smiled.” You’re thinking too much. There are antiques everywhere. They can’t withstand your beating.”
The elevator’s door slowly opened as the bell rang. Qin Mengjin led Kant to the meeting hall. At the entrance of the meeting hall, she saw the person standing there.
There were about 14 or 15 of them, half of them were soldiers, and the other half were wearing suits. Among them, the remaining three people who were dressed in civilian clothes were particularly eye-catching.
When they saw Kant, they all came up to him with curious and scrutinizing smiles.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Comrade Kant. You’re finally a guest in the capital.”
Kant shook hands with the senior colonel, who was obviously the leader. The senior colonel smiled sincerely.” Stay a few more days. Let us do our part as hosts and interact more, right?”
Qin Mengjin stood beside Kang De. She was elegant and knowledgeable. She smiled politely and introduced him softly.” This is Senior Colonel Tian from the General Office of the Military Administration.”
“Hello, Leader,”Kant said with a smile.
“Hey, don’t say that. I’m not your boss. It’s so awkward. Call me Comrade Tian!”
The man was all smiles. The people behind him were like stars surrounding the moon as they surrounded Kant. Every one of them had a sincere smile on their faces, and their eyes were filled with sincerity, friendliness, and enthusiasm.
This reminded Kant of the times when the leaders of the city and province came to inspect his school. The principal, who usually held meetings and talked nonsense, the arrogant and stern dean, and even the supposedly fierce and mean grade directors, all surrounded the leaders. Their smiles were like that of a female soldier meeting General Jin.
It was as if he had become a completely different person.
Teacher Li, who had always regarded the Director of Education and the principal as ” those who are always thinking of doing things blindly and acting pretentious “, sneered when she went home to complain to her mother.
She said that the people around the leader were all good people.
If you had no power or influence, and were as humble as a speck of dust, then the people around you were all lazy, selfish, and greedy villains. Everyone wanted to use you, scheme against you, and take advantage of you.
And when you rise to the top and stand on the clouds, then when you look down, everyone is generous, kind, enthusiastic, sincere and trustworthy good-hearted people-they are even the same group of people.
Sigh… In this world.
How could it be so f * cking satisfying?
Comrade Tian introduced them one by one. Kant shook hands with them. The comrades from the Army, the Rocket Force, the 507 Institute…Each of them carried a star or a rank, and they were all smiling.
Finally, it was the turn of a few fellow travelers.
“Lu Zhengxuan.”
A talented officer of the People’s Liberation Army.
He was so handsome that he could be featured in the National Day military parade for five seconds.
“Wei Shuang.”
She was about 1.64 meters tall, her frame looked petite, and she looked sweet.
“Chai Ming.”
The other captain of the People’s Liberation Army looked at Kant. The curiosity and envy in his eyes were not completely concealed.
“Song Xuejun.”
A middle-aged man with a bracelet. This name really had the mark of the times.
“Li Xiaojie.”
Her eyes were filled with luxury goods, and her voluptuous upper body revealed a little cleavage. Kant, who was a straight man of steel, actually recognized the brand of her shirt. Because it was too disgusting, Kant accidentally saw it when he was mocking her online. It was a f * cking swimsuit, Gucci, and the designer suggested that it should not be worn in the water.
Someone really bought it…
“Su Qingmo.”
He shook hands with the last young man in white casual clothes and said his name.
“..”Kant subconsciously asked,” You changed your name?”
“Ah?” Do we know each other?”
Kant looked at the other Extraordinaires and smiled.” Everyone’s names are strong and simple, just like mine. Your name is the only one that stands out. It’s a little strange.”
Su Qingmo’s expression changed slightly, and then he subconsciously blushed.
Because his original name was Su Zhuang Zhuang.
When he was an ordinary person, this name was nothing, because he was indeed an ordinary person. But now, he was the little tyrant of the nightclub in the capital, a wealthy social elite, and a mysterious successful person working in the national secret department. If his name was Su Zhuang Zhuang…She would be laughed at by the rich and beautiful women.
Seeing Kant laugh, the people around him burst into laughter, regardless of whether they liked it or not.
He was laughing along with Kant’s smile, but it sounded different to Su Qingmo.
He thought of the past that he did not want to recall. He was eccentric, unconfident, introverted, and ordinary. After awakening his ability and reaching the peak of his life, he desperately cut off all ties with his past. He did not want to think about it, as if he was afraid that it would wake him up from this beautiful dream…He sang the praises of youth, squandered his life, and lived like a latecomer. Behind the mentality of double compensation, there was a hidden inferiority complex that had yet to disappear.
He called himself a proud son of heaven and gave himself this new name. His life was smooth sailing, everyone around him was kind, the country valued him and tried to satisfy many of his requests. He even thought that he was the protagonist-until recently, and even now.
Some time ago, he had realized the subtle changes in the situation. The leaders no longer seemed to accommodate him too much, and many of his requests had been rejected.
Today, in the car, the leader of the army did not give him much face. He did not surround him and talk to him, nor did he pay too much attention to him…She ignored him and made him angry.
Now, he was surrounding Kant, who claimed to be the strongest esper in the world.
He even laughed at me…
The moment he heard the laughter of the crowd, the fake mask of the Rich Gold Wind Prince shattered, and the sensitive and inferior soul hidden deep in his heart surfaced.
Su Zhuang Zhuang’s head was hot. He tightened his grip on Kant’s hand.
His ability was activated.
The next moment, he came back to his senses and was shocked. He wanted to take back or let go, but it was too late. He gritted his teeth and decided not to care! Even if he was stronger than me, would the country allow him to kill me? I’m a supernatural being, an important member of the 507 Institute! His future was boundless!
He continued to activate his ability.
At that moment, Kant’s smile vanished. He turned to Senior Colonel Tian.” He’s quite strong. He’s still electrocuting me. Can I shake his hand back?”
The room fell silent.
Qin Mengjin subconsciously took a step forward, and Senior Colonel Tian’s expression changed drastically.
“Let go!” He shouted at Su Zhuang Zhuang,” What are you doing!”
Su Qingmo felt that the other party’s hand was as strong as a pair of pliers. Under the guidance of the relevant experts of the 507 Research Institute, the current that was conducted could even electrocute an elephant. However, it did not seem to have any effect on Kant!
He had the bioelectricity ability, and electrical signals were one of the important foundations of human and even animal life activities. Relying on the training program and guidelines of Institute 507, he had always been successful with this skill. Not only could he use it in many ways, but he could also make women want to die in bed. But why did it not work?
His face turned red. I…”
He wanted to pull back his hand, but he did not move. He looked up and saw that the other party’s expression was calm.
However, that pair of eyes suddenly transformed into the shape of a soaring phoenix.
“Friend.” Kant asked,” Are you that casual when you use your powers?”
Just as Su Qingmo was about to reply, he felt an indescribable sense of terror surge into his heart. It was as if he was facing the most terrifying monster in the world.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a dragon roaring at him!
The expressions of the other five supernatural beings changed at the same time. Even the soldiers were no exception. Their faces turned pale and they subconsciously took a few steps back. Song Xuejun and Li Xiaojie were the most unbearable and almost fell to the ground!
However, the storm of souls only targeted a special group of people. The mortals knew nothing about it. Senior Colonel Tian took two steps forward and said sincerely,” Comrade Kant, I’m sorry that this happened. It was an accident! We will deal with him seriously. Please don’t meet him like he did…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Kant let go of his opponent and let him fall to the ground helplessly and in fear.
The fire thief turned to look at the senior colonel and then at Qin Mengjin, who was shocked and at a loss. He said,” Don’t be so pretentious. Let’s talk somewhere else.”
Senior Colonel Tian was stunned for a moment before calming down.
He waved his hand at his deputy, indicating that he would deal with the mess here.
In the living room, only Senior Colonel Tian and Kang De sat opposite each other. Qin Mengjin stood beside Kang De.
” They don’t know anything about me. At least, they haven’t seen Moani’s video. They haven’t even heard you talk about it.” Kant looked at the neatly arranged tea set before him and said calmly,” I believe that you would not make such a low-level mistake. Then, what happened just now was most likely something that you had expected, or perhaps you had just watched it happen. Senior Colonel Tian, I have a common understanding with the country. We have worked together many times and it has been a pleasure, so…”
“Please give me an explanation,” he said calmly.
” First of all, I still have to apologize for what just happened. We had thought of informing you in advance, but in the end, we decided to give up. Because we informed you in advance, you were mentally prepared, and your intuition would not be as strong as it is now…Although this will cause you to be dissatisfied, just as you said, the Republic has had many pleasant collaborations with you. You are a sincere patriot and will eventually understand our intentions.”
Senior Colonel Tian paused for a moment and slowly said,” Then, allow me to ask you a question. In your opinion, supernatural incidents are increasing, and the number of Awakened Extraordinaires is increasing. Under such circumstances, how do you think the country should control, guide, and help these Extraordinaires with magical powers so that they can coexist harmoniously with our billions of ordinary citizens and do their best to protect the lives, safety, freedom, dignity, and equality of the latter?”

[PS 1: Upgraded…]
[P.S. 2: I could have written more today, but it took me some time to think about some things…] Perhaps it was because I was too stubborn. Even if the focus of this book wasn’t on Earth, I wanted to write a more realistic and reasonable ecology of Earth’s supernatural beings, their relationship with the country, the country’s policies and intentions, as well as the personal feelings, desires, and demands of these supernatural beings…This part was also related to the plot on Earth. He would write more tomorrow.
