Chapter 565 The Chosen One

"Brother, brother! Are those 'ability users' the same as the superpowered beings in anime?!"

The four-year-old girl was already able to understand some of the news. She stood in front of a small ice cream shop on the street and looked at the large screen in the mall that used to be used to promote movies. The screen was playing Dongxia's official special broadcast.

A young man wearing a white striped shirt shielded his eyes from the sun as he carefully looked at the announcement on the big screen.

[Dongxia issued a notice to all individuals with special abilities, stating that in order to maintain social order and stability and protect the safety of all citizens, Dongxia will implement a stricter management system for individuals with special abilities. Individuals with high-risk abilities are requested to proactively report their personal information within 7 working days...]

The phone numbers of several special departments are also listed below.

The announcement was played continuously, giving it a very serious feel.

Outside the shopping mall, which is usually filled with middle-aged women dancing in the square, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as usual.

A gust of wind blew by, making the young man's shirt flutter. The area was not far from the sea, and the sea breeze was strong.

A sense of impending storm made the young man frown.

He was born with a keen sense of perception, and at this moment, he clearly felt as if a tidal wave was sweeping across the entire world.

Unlike those on the internet who are incredibly curious about the "ability users" group and even fantasize about becoming one themselves, Li Dongjin prefers a peaceful daily life.

He would study ordinary things, work ordinary jobs to earn money, find an ordinary wife, and live a mundane and peaceful life.

That was his ideal.

"You are very talented."

A voice rang out, and Li Dongjin was startled. He turned around and saw a woman with long, flowing golden hair standing beside him.

She was wearing a white T-shirt, had a full figure, and her skin was flawless.

He is a person with special abilities!
Li Dongjin immediately realized this. He had no means of identifying ability users and had never been in close contact with them before, but with just one glance, he could clearly feel that the other party had an absolutely different "scent" from that of an ordinary human.

The woman raised her right hand, and Li Dongjin immediately lowered his body, his whole body tense. He reached out to grab his sister, but grasped nothing.

My heart sank. I turned around, only to find that my younger sister, who had been tugging at my clothes just moments before, was nowhere to be seen.

Not only that, when he looked into the store again, it was empty. Turning around, the mall was deserted inside and out. It was as if only he and the blonde woman in front of him remained in this world.

"what have you done?!"

Li Dongjin was a little nervous, but he didn't panic to the point of losing his mind.

The blonde woman revealed the back of her right hand, revealing an intricate pattern that shimmered with a silvery-white luster. Within the pattern, countless symbols seemed to be intertwined and constantly in motion, achieving a kind of balance.

Li Dongjin seemed to be drawn to the pattern for a moment, staring intently at the symbol.

The woman's lips curled into a smile.

"As expected, you were chosen, Lee Dong-jin. Are you interested in becoming a ~Power User?

When the woman mentioned the words "ability user," she paused, as if she hadn't originally intended to say those words. Li Dongjin noticed that even in this strange state, she remained remarkably calm, and her analytical abilities were even more outstanding than usual.

He looked at the pattern, as if something inside him was beginning to stir.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before taking two steps back.

"No, I don't want to be an ability user."

The smile on the woman's lips slowly faded, and her right hand slowly lowered.

She could tell that this young man named Li Dongjin had no regrets after making his decision.

"Ha, so this is your decision. I hope you won't regret it when disaster strikes in the future."

As the woman's voice fell, the sweltering air and the sound waves around him instantly appeared and rushed into his ears.

"elder brother!"

The little girl gripped the hem of his clothes tightly, her two light eyebrows seemingly about to stand up, holding an ice cream in her hand, while behind her, the shop owner looked at him helplessly.

Li Dongjin paid immediately, picked up his sister with a smile, and looked around, as if the woman had never been there at all.

[Ms. Li Qingzi, the newly appointed chairperson of the March Foundation, announced that the Paradise City for those with special abilities has been rebuilt and all those with special abilities are welcome to visit. Furthermore, any person with special abilities who enters the park will be under the protection of Lord Tao Pai Pai.]

Li Dongjin heard another advertisement. He looked up and saw a strikingly beautiful woman on the large screen. She was Korean, and the footage was from a press conference with a translator below. Having just experienced such a bizarre scene, Li Dongjin didn't want to get involved in anything like it anymore. He picked up his younger sister and started walking back, but the little girl was very curious, pointing at the screen and asking all sorts of questions.

"Brother, who is Tao Pai Pai?"

"Brother, is that amusement park...?"

A huge Ferris wheel in front of the mall slowly turned, and a beautiful woman stood on it, her face constantly changing before finally settling on the image of a gaunt old man.

He watched indifferently as Li Dongjin carried his sister into the crowded throng. Just like fate, he abandoned that illustrious and exciting path, choosing instead to embrace the ordinary...

"Tsk, finding a suitable candidate is really not easy. No wonder Aizen chose to create one himself..."

Looking at the Paradise City advertisement on the big screen, he knew that Tao Pai Pai had truly become a force to be reckoned with.

Adding the woman from the West District, she is very likely the one Cao Qi chose.

He had fallen far behind.

The old man rubbed the illegible cards in his hand, his eyes seeming to hold countless pieces of information.

Soon, he locked onto a new target, and his figure slowly disappeared.
-
Within Myanmar, outside the ruins of the former "Paradise," a three-meter-high gray-black earthen wall blocks everyone's view, making it impossible to see what happened inside.

Lin Qinfu paced back and forth outside the wall. The terrifying commotion a few days ago had terrified him, and he was relieved that his group had been driven away by Boss Bai ahead of time.

Seeing a perfectly good city turn into complete ruins in less than half a day, the absurdity and fear were indescribable.

He was now completely certain that Boss Bai was the legendary "ability user," and that the young lady of the March Consortium had taken a liking to him because she wanted to get involved in the affairs of ability users.

He also noticed the major moves of the March Consortium through the internet, and felt that he fully understood the meaning of all the previous events.

But at this moment, Lin Qinfu still didn't understand why Boss Bai had surrounded the ruins after the Paradise was destroyed.
Even more so, who built this wall?
It's worth noting that while the "Paradise" isn't huge, it still covers nearly 1500 square kilometers. Completely sealing it off with a three-meter-high wall is no small undertaking.

But this wall appeared out of nowhere...

Boom!

Boom!

The loud noises continued to echo from inside the wall. Lin Qinfu was extremely curious, but he dared not climb the wall to see what was happening.

He even ordered the militiamen they had recruited to stand guard at various locations with guns, and to shoot anyone who dared to climb the walls.

The ground continued to shake, and suddenly someone cried out in alarm.

Lin Qinfu turned around and saw that the people he had brought were all looking up at the inside of the wall, their faces filled with terror, their mouths agape, but they couldn't utter a single word.

He turned around as well, and the next moment, Lin Qinfu was equally shocked.

A colossal tower was rising from a great distance within the walls.

It was visible to us, so its height was probably over ten meters, and it was still rising.

Just like the legendary giant vine, it kept growing, thirty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters...

The enormous tower, surrounded by cold, hard black rock, was not particularly exquisite, but it had a sinister and terrifying feel to it.

The tremendous commotion lasted for a full half day. Lin Qinfu was already numb; he now fully understood how that high wall had been erected.

Just like that tower and other buildings, it was "raised" out of thin air!

So that's an ability user...?

Lin Qinfu felt his worldview had been shattered. It was completely different from the sporadic displays he had seen online before. This power, which transcended modern technology, made him somewhat apprehensive.

There was an even stronger sense of loss.

With someone possessing such abilities around, we people are probably no longer of any use to Boss Bai...

boom!
The high wall trembled violently and collapsed in the next moment. In the setting sun, Bai Cangshu, with his long hair, stood beside the crumbling outer wall. Seeing the group of "former subordinates" waiting there, he opened his arms and smiled.

"Welcome to my... [Paradise]!"

Behind him, a brand new city has emerged, with a black tower at its center and various blocks scattered around it.
