Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Ahhhhhh~~~"

In the alley under the night sky, when the Hidden Dragon's psychics gradually surrounded them, all they heard was the shrill screams of the robbers coming from the alley.

269. Action

"That concludes my report on last Friday's bank robbery."

In the dimly lit conference room, the slides showed the traces of destruction left by the group of "Spider-Man" robbers and the process until they were shot dead or captured.

After reporting all this, the man named He Huique calmly took back the remote control in his hand, looked at the old men in front of him with a serious expression, and waited for their questions.

In fact, similar robbery cases have occurred many times since the era of spiritual power revival, so reporting them is just a formality in normal terms.

But this time, things were a little different. Graybird actually knew the reason, and he also knew that these "managers" in front of him would definitely ask this question:

"How did the last person who escaped... die?"

Yes, that’s the question. In fact, this is also the biggest doubt that the Grey Sparrow Squad has when they are performing the mission.

"We didn't find any clues."

The screen switched, and all the robbers shot dead on the slide disappeared instantly. Instead, a slightly dim alley appeared, showing a scene that looked like a disaster.

Claw-like marks were scattered all over the walls and ground of the alley. The charred scene looked as if it had just been burned by a fire. In the center of the scene, the black marks of a human figure were so clearly visible even in this charred scene.

"Preliminary judgment is that the last looter has been burned to death and not even a body is left..."

Pointing at the obviously charred area, the graybird frowned visibly.

"Based on the on-site assessment, it's conservatively estimated that the deceased suffered burns at temperatures exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius before dying. The weapon was also subjected to a burst of heat. Judging from this, if the attack was done by a fire-type psychic, then the opponent must be at least A-level or above."

Psychics are divided into certain categories according to their levels, and the fire type is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous ones. After all, this thing is inherently violent.

Of course, Gray Bird is not only concerned about this. Although there are few A-level mutants now, there are still some. So if it were just this, at most he would treat the other party as a mutant hiding in the crowd and hunt him down. However, the key issue lies in another place.

"I've examined these 'scratches' and initially thought they were caused by some giant beast. However, the Shadow in my group has confirmed that they aren't scratches, but... sword marks."

The laser pointer pointed to the clear marks that spread to the wall and the ground. At first glance, the marks were indeed not much different from scratches. However, if you look closely, you can see that each mark is somewhat different. It is better to say that they were 'chopped' rather than 'scratched'.

"So what's your verdict?"

After the advent of the era of spiritual power revival, many power institutions and so on have undergone various changes, among which the emergence of people with special powers is particularly obvious.

Although the organization is still managed by the upper echelons, as the psychics become more and more powerful, the "uncontrollability" of the organization is also increasing.

Of course, another point is that ordinary people's understanding of people with special abilities is ultimately limited. Therefore, it is obvious that people with special abilities have the most say in analyzing people with special abilities. Therefore, with more and more cases involving people with special abilities, these so-called "people in power" can only hand over the power in their hands to people with special abilities little by little even if they are reluctant.

After hearing the old man's words, Graybird frowned slightly and thought for a moment before giving an answer that he himself wasn't entirely sure of:

"There are currently two lines of judgment: One is that there were two people present at the time. One, as you can see, was a fire-type mutant, suspected to be A-level."

This is obvious, but the key is another one:

"A master of swordsmanship... or rather, a master who can release sword energy. If such a person is not a psychic, then he is most likely... a cultivator."

Practitioners and psychics are completely different. Psychics naturally awaken their own psychics after the era of spiritual power revival. After gaining powerful strength, their consciousness and combat experience are almost zero, which is equivalent to directly reaching the maximum level and generally belonging to the category of nouveau riche.

However, cultivators are completely different. They are definitely several times more dangerous than those with special abilities.

After all, the recovery of spiritual power does not take long. If one is a cultivator, it means that he is still persisting in practicing even in the Dharma-Ending Age.

Perhaps at that time, even if practitioners practiced, without the support of spiritual power, they could at most prolong their lifespan and strengthen their bodies. But now it is completely different.

In the era of spiritual power, the existence of practitioners itself represents the image of a "hermit master". In fact, such existence does exist in the country. Those large sects similar to the rumors have actually been visited by various forces and relevant agreements have been signed as early as the early days of the revival of spiritual power.

However, now... the crimes committed by people with special abilities in the originally peaceful city have already caused a headache for the team called Qianlong, which specializes in handling such cases. If another cultivator appears, it will undoubtedly turn into a brutal... overtime incident.

"Cultivators are different from people with special abilities. Although people with special abilities may commit crimes, they are still new to their abilities and lack combat experience, so it's not difficult to kill or capture them."

This is also the reason why they were able to kill the robbers so easily last night. If they had not deliberately chosen to flee in the downtown area for fear of harming innocent people, the capture would have been much faster.

However, practitioners...

"This is an experienced being with absolute control over his own power...very dangerous."

Of course, this danger does not mean that the other party will cause harm or damage to society, but that the other party is an "uncontrollable factor" and is very dangerous.

After all, at the moment, it seems that the other party killed the gangster and did a good deed, but you have to know that in today's society, the concept of "vigilante" is inappropriate.

Reality is not a movie. Spider-Man will only be treated as a "suspicious person" in reality. Dangerous elements are dangerous elements. Even if you are really doing good things, no one can guarantee or guarantee that you will not change in the future.

This is what Gray Bird wants to report, or this is the reason why these old men would come to Qianlong today and mobilize a large number of troops for a robbery... The key is not the dead criminals, but the figure who was clearly surrounded by Qianlong and easily killed the last criminal, but disappeared without a trace.

"The enemy's anti-reconnaissance capabilities were very strong. No useful clues or traces of their presence were left at the scene. The sword marks and scorch marks weren't so much the result of carelessness as they were... intentional for us to identify."

The scary cultivator is one thing, but the key is that the other party has such powerful anti-reconnaissance capabilities, which is undoubtedly the most troublesome thing.

……

"Find them... Tsk, what a bunch of old men who order people around. I'm going to have to use my head to find them without any clues!"

He went out, silently lit a cigarette, and without saying a word, he just finished complaining, but the next second, the cigarette in his mouth was taken away by a white little hand.

When Graybird turned around, he saw the expressionless girl looking at him calmly. He stared at her in silence for a while, and then a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Ahem~ It's just a habit, a subconscious habit."

He silently put away the lighter in his other hand, but his explanation was obviously not understood by the other party. The next second, another white hand reached out silently.

"..."

"..."

One minute, two minutes, and finally, Graybird silently took out a lighter from his pocket... and a half-finished pack of cigarettes and put them in the other person's hand.

“Smoking is bad.”

The calm voice finally spoke until this moment, and in return, Graybird had a bitter expression on his face, and the other party immediately turned around and left.

"Where to go?"

I asked subconsciously, and saw the girl walking slightly tilt her head and leave a brief response:

"Class is about to begin."

"Oh~~"

Only then did he realize that the other person seemed to be a student. Graybird touched his nose awkwardly and turned to walk in another direction.

The Qianlong Squad, also known as the anti-superpower combat team.

That’s right, it’s just what you imagined, a very common plot in various novels.

Similar teams are basically deployed in every city in the country. Their purpose is to do their best to maintain the current social order and prevent it from being destroyed by such impacts in the era of spiritual power revival. To put it bluntly, they are similar to the existence of supernatural police.

Gray Sparrow's Hidden Dragon Squad is the "superpower police" responsible for this city.

Most of the personnel are psychics collected from the city. They were put on the line after negotiation and a period of training. Of course, among them there are also "early psychics" like Gray Sparrow, that is, they became psychics long before the era of spiritual power revival.

As members of Qianlong, their daily work is actually very simple: when there is no mission, it is normal for everyone to go back to their own homes. Generally, the missions are mainly divided into two types: one is to prevent the occurrence of crimes committed by people with super powers, similar to last night.

The other is to analyze and find the people with special abilities hiding in the city. Those who can be invited should be invited, and those who cannot be invited should at least be kept informed of their movements and new household registration files should be established for them in case of any emergency.

Now, after completing the report on the first task last night, the next task is naturally the second task:

"Bring me all the relevant surveillance footage and data regarding the robbers' escape route last night. I want to thoroughly investigate the identity of this mysterious 'psychic' and cultivator!"

At the command, all members of the Qianlong team immediately took action.

Except for a certain young girl sniper Shadow who was going to school.

270. I'm Really Kamen Rider

"Brother, why don't you think I have any super powers?"

In the evening, after a sumptuous dinner, the brother and sister sat on the sofa watching a variety show and chatting. Although it seemed like a boring activity, Yu Yuan was obviously not tired of it. It seemed that as long as he could continue like this with Yu Huan, it would be a wonderful enjoyment.

"Do you want to have one?"

In response to Yu Yuan's sudden question, Yu Huan put down the drink in his hand, thought for a moment, and asked back.

"Yes I do."

Yu Yuan's answer can be said to be the correct choice for countless ordinary people facing this kind of problem:

"Superpowers would be great. No matter what kind they are, at least if they exist, you can find many uses for them. Even if they don't... it's still nice to show off."

"What you said... makes sense."

Thinking carefully, since my sister is a homebody and still has some middle school characteristics, it seems natural for her to have such thoughts of "showing off". After thinking about it, Yu Huan asked:

"Do you need me to awaken you?"

Not to mention that Yu Yuan himself has this "talent", otherwise he would not have been selected by the system as the holder of the "Shadow System". Even if the other party did not have it, it would be a simple matter for Yu Huan to change a person's "rules" and make the other party the chosen one.

Not to mention that it is directed at his own sister. In this regard, Yu Huan’s pampering can definitely be said to have no limit... Anyway, just pamper her as much as you can.

"Ugh~~ Bro, you're bragging again. How is that possible? You don't even have any special abilities yourself."

Naturally, facing his brother's 'serious' words, Yu Yuan just smiled as if he was joking and didn't take it seriously.

This is entirely the result of ideological constraints.

After all, in this era where people with special abilities are rampant, various countries have taken various preventive measures to manage them.

There are many ways to identify people with special abilities.

At the beginning, as the 'Awakener', Yu Huan was indeed followed by many people. They were curious that since he could awaken, there was a high probability that he could gain superpowers.

This is also the reason why Ye Chen had to come for checkups once or twice from time to time some time ago.

However, in the end, the results of blood draws, hair draws, and various tests all showed that apart from Yu Huan's physical recovery, he became strong and healthy under the influence of spiritual power, and his hair grew rapidly, but there were basically no other changes.

The final result was that they were classified as "incompetent", and over time, such inspections became less frequent.

As the person who is about to take over her parents' class, Yu Yuan is naturally able to know all this through her authority. In fact, because she is worried about her brother, many of the examinations were obtained by her using her connections. While ensuring that there is no harm to Yu Huan, she also consciously helps Yu Huan check for various possible changes.

It is precisely because there are so many "professional" examinations that if we talk about the person who knows Yu Huan's body best, Yu Yuan is second, and probably no one dares to claim to be first.

To sum up, although Yu Huan would promise to give it to his sister every time she heard her sister say she wanted superpowers during a chat at night, Yu Yuan would always treat it as a joke and brush it off.

Of course, at this time Yu Huan actually only needs to prove it, and in fact Yu Huan does this every time. After all, as long as there is evidence, people will believe it.

But this is the way to prove it:

"So I really am a person with superpowers, right? Isn't this my superpower?"

As he said this, Yu Huan silently took out his fantasy book and showed it to Yu Yuan. However, looking at the plastic book and the belt hanging around his waist that he had taken out from somewhere, Yu Yuan's face showed a helpless expression more than once:

"Brother, even though we're both homebodies, I understand your chuunibyou mentality, and even though I don't seem to have the right to say such things, but...reality and fantasy really need to be considered separately!"

Not to mention that the superpowers themselves are similar to water and fire elements, even if they are not, most of them are "conceived" existences such as illusions. So far, no one has ever demonstrated abilities similar to those that appear in "anime".

Just talking about Yu Huan's ability to transform into 'Kamen Rider Saber' that he has introduced many times...

"I watch a lot of anime, so don't expect to fool me. Kamen Rider is Kamen Rider, Saber is Saber. These are two completely unrelated systems. One is a special effects and the other is anime, but the more important thing is..."

He casually picked up Yu Huan's fantasy book, opened it, and ignored the voice of the 'Dragon of Courage'. He then heard Yu Yuan say with a smile:

"Your sister, I've watched all the Kamen Riders from Number One to Zi-O. Even the latest update is 01, and there's no such transformation props. So where did you buy this pirated toy from? The quality looks pretty good... It's a pity that there are no such styles now."

To be honest, when Yuyuan saw Yuhuan's belt for the first time, she was really amazed. The Saber belt style with the sword-drawing pattern was really handsome no matter how you looked at it. Yuyuan even took it and played with it for a long time. However, when Yuyuan asked what anime it was from later, Yuhuan said "Kamen Rider Saber" and the girl lost interest.

If you ask why, it’s simple: because Yuyuan is a genuine fan.

Yes, resisting piracy is everyone’s responsibility... This is Yuyuan’s beacon as a two-dimensional girl.

As a "rich otaku girl", not only are all the two-dimensional equipment and role-playing costumes that Yuyuan buys genuine products, but even if it is some niche props that are not available, she will directly ask others to customize them without saying a word, and will never touch those pirated products.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a special collecting hobby. It is precisely because of this collecting hobby that although Yuhuan's belt looks so handsome, the girl no longer has much interest in it after discovering that the other party has "impersonated" the name of Kamen Rider.

"Brother, even if you want to trick me, at least use a belt I recognize, and an authentic one, okay? Aren't you bored using the same one every day?"

The helpless voice made Yu Huan smile even more helplessly:

"I want to show you my other belts too. I have all the ones from Demon Sealing Zi-O, but the problem is that I can't summon the Demon Sealing Book, right? I only have this one belt on me right now... I need to wear all the other belts from this series."

Of course, there is more to a series than just a belt, but the problem is that Yu Yuan doesn't believe this one. Even if Yu Huan takes out other ones, the other party probably won't believe it, unless Yu Huan transforms in front of her on the spot.

But the question is...how to deal with the problem of social death?

Don't be fooled by how powerful and handsome the protagonists in special effects dramas are when they transform in front of others. If this kind of thing were to happen in reality, the impulse of social demise alone would prevent countless people from performing this kind of "performance".

"What I said is true……"
