Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

drop--------

Qi Mu took out his phone and scanned the QR code printed on Xingguang's chest.

The phone slowly loaded, and a message popped up.

[The Unenhanced Doctor: Saiki! Where did you go?! How did the signal suddenly appear in the Atlantic Ocean? And then in Manhattan?!]

[Coffee jelly addiction: I just went out to help a friend with a problem, and now I'm being pulled along the street by a middle-aged Christian man.]

[The unenlightened doctor: Holi S***, where did you get an LTP?! Qi Mu, don't panic, I'll contact the army right away!]

[Coffee jelly addict: Uh...actually, he was campaigning for a girl named Starlight.]

[The Unenlightened Doctor: Starlight? Oh, right, that makes sense. The Lamplighter retired, and the Seven Superheroes are missing one person.]

[The Unenlightened Doctor: Anyway, Qi Mu, you'd better be back in half an hour.]

[The un-enhanced doctor: If Becca finds out you've sneaked out again, I'll cover for you, but I'll definitely detonate the explosives in the lab's basement.]

[Severe dependence on coffee jelly: ...I'll try my best]

[Coffee jelly addiction: Gintoki picking his nose.jpg]

In the lab, looking at the Gintoki emoji that Saiki sent, Rohrner couldn't help but rub his golden hair.

"Why----"

He let out a long sigh and stared melancholically at the laboratory ceiling.

The smell of cleaning and disinfectant wafted over, but he showed no intention of moving an inch.

"Why, why did it turn out like this?"

"Give me back my two-year-old Saiki!"

Looking at the large pile of religious books on the bookshelf behind him, Rolner was silent for a moment, then looked down at Gintoki picking his nose.

"Damn it! Wouldn't it be better if you entertainment products just obediently let Vought destroy them!"

He threw his phone to the ground and cried out in sorrow, like a helpless husband.

------------

Manhattan streets.

Qi Mu switched back to the QR code scanning interface. The network speed in Manhattan was decent, and Xingguang's work account had already popped up.

The phone screen showed a girl just like the one on the GG card.

Unlike the GG card, which is immobile, standing there unable to do anything, and even a poisonous insect that has been overdosed on can be easily snatched away and taken back to the poison den to vent one's lust.

Starlight's account features animated GIFs.

The video pinned at the bottom is a self-giving speech.

Qi Mu clicked on the video.

"Hey everyone, I'm Starlight."

"I grew up with my mother, who is a Christian, and after discovering that I had superpowers, I became determined to become a superhero."

"..."

"I want to join the Seven and become a superhero who fights evil and promotes good. Please vote for me."

The video, which is one minute and forty-three seconds long, features Starlight, wearing a long gold dress, in the very center.

She smiled sweetly, like a girl next door who had just come of age.

Unlike the formulaic, commercialized smiles of Homelander, Starlight's smile has a genuine feel to it.

"See this link? Just one click and you'll be taken to the poll!"

"As long as you have citizenship, you can contribute!"

"Kids! One vote from you, one vote from me, and tomorrow Starlight will debut!"

The middle-aged Christian uncle grinned at Qi Mu, revealing his somewhat yellow teeth, and a faint stench wafted over.

It smelled of acidic bacteria, indigestion, and a cheap, industrially synthesized substance.

[Do Homelanders need this vote?]

Qi Mu's hand hovered over the link. He turned his head and asked the uncle.

"Homelander?! Oh my god, kid, this is just a vote for the new members of The Seven."

"Our great motherland, he should be holding a press conference right now, showcasing his achievements."

The uncle is right.

Qi Mu glanced at the live-streaming account on his friend list, then returned to Xingguang's homepage.

[OK.]

Qi Mu nodded, his finger hovering over the link. The next second, the phone screen quickly switched, and a voting page appeared in the center of the screen.

The names of the eight candidates are listed from top to bottom.

Since Qi Mu was redirected from the Starlight homepage, Starlight naturally appeared at the top of the list.

The voting process ended quickly, and the middle-aged man smiled broadly.

"Oh! God's favorite! If you weren't so young, I would love to share God's love with you."

He was referring to the medicine left on a poisonous insect that had been found in the trash this morning, one of which had died halfway through its fall.

[No, but can Christians also smoke?]

Qi Mu asked the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Of course, the Lord will forgive all."

The middle-aged man didn't care how Qi Mu knew he had taken drugs; after all, he was a superhuman, and he could tell with just a little observation.

Besides, aren't there plenty of drug addicts in Manhattan?

This is indeed the most prosperous area in terms of economy and culture, but beneath this glamorous exterior lies countless dark and twisted secrets.

They were just poisonous insects; in this darkness, they could only be considered a pitiful bunch of little karami.

[I shouldn't have had any normal expectations of this world.]

Remembering how the unenlightened doctor had introduced him to the dark side of society when he was five or six years old, Qi Mu sighed helplessly.

When the middle-aged man saw Qi Mu sighing, he realized that this child might still be an innocent child who had not been corrupted by society.

A complex look flashed in his eyes as he patted Qi Mu on the shoulder.

"Hey kid, even though you're God's favorite, you'd better be careful in Manhattan."

"After all, this place is full of God's favorites."

After saying that, he grabbed Starlight's GG sign and went to continue campaigning for the girl who wanted to be a superhero.

Qi Mu seemed to be deep in thought, and he activated his [clairvoyance] (cross-eyedness).

After briefly surveying the area within a ten-kilometer radius, Qi Mu withdrew his gaze.

[One hundred and twenty-seven second-tier superpowered individuals.]

[Thirty-two top-tier superpowered individuals.]

This is only within a ten-kilometer radius of Qimu.

and.......

[The Water Tower's material is special; even a telescopic vision system under suppression can't see through more than a few floors.]

Qi Mu's gaze fell on the towering building that pierced the clouds and bore the "VOUGHT" logo, and he frowned slightly.

[Never mind, I'll ask John later.]

Qi Mu shook his head; he only had less than half an hour left to go out for some fresh air.

Next, head to the dessert shop and enjoy some coffee jelly.

He showed an expectant expression.
