"It's all the fault of the Cabinet faction. Why did they have to set up the Hound Unit to confront us? They are so short of manpower... Why not just transfer all the people back? There is no point in confronting us every day!"

After lamenting, Hattori Yukichi suddenly gritted his teeth and looked fierce, but as soon as he said this, Lord Chosokabe rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Oh, although I also think that this confrontation is meaningless, if you withdraw, it will be a sign of weakness. Not to mention that you are just a deputy minister, even if you are really a minister, this order will never be implemented. There is no retreat in political struggle, only confrontation. Even if everyone knows that this is a stupid idea, it must continue."

"So instead of thinking of such a stupid idea, why not think about how to attract more knights? There are still many knights in Tokyo now. Isn't Yiqi a good example?"

Yiqi, a newly named knight, was originally just an unknown ordinary knight without any resounding title. However, not long ago, when the magic power emerged for the first time, Yiqi, as the first knight to come into contact with this phenomenon, not only used magic to repel the enemy, but also manifested the special phenomenon of "Wenqi Discussion" - that is, the scene where water flow is used behind the back to form a Go board.

This scene was actually secretly filmed by someone, and it was because the person who filmed it called the police in time that the Metropolitan Police Department was the first to discover the emergence of magical energy.

Later, as the video was uploaded to the Internet, Yi Qi's identity became known to everyone. The former young chess master and genius of his generation has now been given the title of "Yi Qi", which sounds quite cool.

158. Escalation

Sugo Yiqi was obviously very satisfied with his title "Yiqi".

Especially the move he had tried to make the remaining water flow form a chessboard behind him in order to deter his opponent. To put it bluntly, this move actually had no effect, and had no lethality or defensive power. It was simply the control of the water flow. At that time, Suga Yuki just wanted to scare off the enemy, so he subconsciously chose what he was most familiar with.

but......

Netizens call it "Wen Ping Lun Dao" - Wen Ping Lun Dao, playing chess against the universe, twisting black and white with two fingers, planning yin and yang... This perfectly hits the Japanese middle school soul!

Therefore, Sugo Yi immediately made up his mind that no matter what kind of opponent he would meet in the future, he must condense the chessboard behind him before fighting!

The head can be cut off and blood can be shed, but the chessboard behind you must never be lost!

Because he would lose his ability to cast spells if he left the area where magic energy emerged, Suga Yi even bought a house in the area covered by magic energy and decided to settle down here in the future.

In this regard, Lord Chosokabe, who was in charge of connecting with Sugo Ki, was extremely envious...

That's Minato Ward! Although it's the smallest of Tokyo's 23 wards, it's in no way inferior to Chiyoda Ward, which is known as the largest of the 23 wards!

He is really rich. He can buy a house whenever he wants. Poor Lord Chosokabe has to temporarily rent a house near the Metropolitan Police Department for the convenience of work...

What hurt Lord Chosokabe even more was that every time he went to work with Sugou Ki, he could see him taking a leisurely rest - compared to how busy he was, even Lord Chosokabe, who was always calm, couldn't help but feel a little itchy...

......

Speaking of which, it has been several days since the magic ball energy surge appeared. During this period, the Super Energy Department has been operating at overload, and all the mobilized personnel have been busy.

Although in the short term the super-powered crimes that Hattori Yukiichi worried about did not seem to occur frequently, after several days of observation the Super Power Department has basically confirmed that [Magic Energy Emergence] is a constant phenomenon that exists for a long time and over a large area, and will not gradually disappear with the passage of time.

This means that no one will take this matter lightly.

After all, who knows whether some strange things will be born here under the nurturing of magic energy?

Who knows if there will be some malicious knights trying to use the magic in these areas to cause trouble?

Especially the knights. Although Super Power Unit tried to block the news, unfortunately, due to the upload of Yi Qi's video, this place has already attracted the attention of many knights. Anyone who comes here will naturally sense the existence of magic, so it is obviously unrealistic to block the news.

Plus, the knights all have families, so this news might not even be kept secret from ordinary people.

And most importantly...

This is the port area.

Minato Ward, one of the 23 wards of Tokyo, is located in the southeast of Tokyo, close to Tokyo Bay. It not only has Roppongi, Odaiba and Tokyo Tower, but most importantly, it is the "international district".

Embassies of many countries are located here. Even within the coverage of this magical energy emergence phenomenon, there are embassies of several countries including the embassy of the sovereign country!

If something happened to ordinary people, it could be said to be an accident. Even if it was a bloody incident that attracted much attention from many countries, the interference of other countries could be strictly rejected on the grounds of "internal affairs". But if it involved the embassy of another country, especially the embassy of the sovereign country...

Then, this matter is extremely serious.

In fact, although the suzerain country always appears to be approachable and amiable in the international community and always talks about peace and friendship, as a neighbor, Japan is the one that knows best how terrible the suzerain country is.

This is not only because the sovereign country has strong comprehensive national strength, but more importantly...peaceful and friendly?

The people of a country always accuse the country of being too weak in dealing with international issues, and can't wait to demand an increase in military spending and the construction of more strategic war weapons. When the country's soldiers are killed or injured in military operations, the first reaction of the people is not to accuse the government of starting a war, but to mourn the casualties and passionately demand a counterattack...

The country's martial spirit and support for the military are terrifyingly strong. The people are proud to join the army, and the soldiers are proud to die in battle. There is an immense desire for war and victory. Even the government, which has always advocated peace, is still preparing for a world-class war decades after the end of the Cold War. Do you believe such a country when it talks about peace and friendship?

Not to mention, the Japanese culture is inherited from the colonial master, so they understand the core of the colonial master's national spirit best - the colonial master's culture essentially has an extremely strong spirit of martyrdom, "Everyone has to die, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than a feather." In the colonial master's culture, death must be about doing something big, and it is better to die heroically.

The most important affairs of a state are sacrifices and war.

Therefore, at present, no one in the international community dares to really provoke this huge behemoth, the suzerain state. Everyone is explaining the rules over and over again, and trying to restrict the suzerain state as much as possible within the rules, but no one dares to actively break the rules - because everyone knows what a warlike and aggressive opponent this is.

If the rules are in place, everyone behaves well and the other party will still be the nice guy who talks about peace and friendliness. If the rules are gone, I don’t know about other things, but Japan will probably be the first to go along with the rules...

The police force did not know whether problems at the embassy would be seen by the other side as beyond the rules. After all, even the same thing would be responded to differently in different eras. In this era, Japan did not dare to take the risk.

Therefore, most of the forces of the Super Power Department are trying hard to deal with the phenomenon of the emergence of magical energy. At the very least, the harm caused by this phenomenon must not be allowed to spread to the embassies of many countries, especially the embassy of this neighbor.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the police force finally communicated with the cabinet faction - both sides wanted to seize power, but the premise was that there was power to be seized, otherwise if the power was gone, then what was the point of seizing it...

The cabinet faction naturally knew the importance of this matter, so after some tacit operations, although there was no actual communication between the two sides, the personnel confronting each other in the "Beast Bus Attack Case" withdrew half of their forces.

With these half of the people, the police force can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that so many knights have been transferred over there, I think it should be possible to ensure that no major trouble will occur...right?

159. The Town’s Treasure Madoka Kaname and the Little Mascot Rika

The threat brought by the surge of magical energy has made the entire Super Power Division busier than ever before. As one of the newly recruited members of the Super Power Division and a "raw stone", Kaname Madoka is naturally not immune. She is transferred to the area where magical energy emerges and falls into an endless nightmare of overtime.

Although Kaname Madoka's height makes this look like child labor in a sweatshop...

Speaking of which, Kaname Madoka's height has actually recovered recently - although her body shrunk significantly due to severe damage when fighting the monster in the hotel, and her net height is only one meter, but fortunately it was later discovered that Kaname Madoka's height will slowly grow back.

As long as he maintains normal eating and exercise, Kaname Madoka will slowly absorb nutrients from the food and grow little by little - this process is naturally much faster than the growth of a real child, but overall it is still a bit slow and cannot change as quickly as when consuming.

So, Kaname Madoka, who has always maintained her tiny form, became the "treasure of the department" and was loved by everyone.

Although Kaname Madoka was very distressed about this.

After all, who wants to maintain a height of one meter every day? If you want to take something from the stove, you have to tiptoe, okay?

Even Rei wasn't the only one who was busy. Rika, who had been waiting to die in the death archives room, was also forced to get busy. Although Rika was just an ordinary person and couldn't do anything important, she could still run errands, pass messages, and convey some instructions as a superhero.

Perhaps it was because Rika herself looked quite harmless, and because she joined the Supernatural Division together with Madoka Kaname, and had long been considered one of the team's own, so everyone in the division trusted Rika.

Of course, Rika will definitely not let down this trust. Anyway, Rika has never thought of doing anything bad to Super Power One. If they encounter trouble, they will definitely stand on the side of Super Power One, but...

This does not prevent Rika from forming another small group outside.

For example, the Witch Club that Rika has been dreaming about for a long time.

Speaking of the Witch Club, in fact, as early as when she first joined the Super Power Division 1, Rika had enthusiastically tried to plan to set up a force as a retreat for herself and Sister Yuan, but later Sister Yuan became more popular in the club than she had imagined, so Rika gradually became lazy.

I'm not the kind of person with any perseverance. I originally thought of setting up a witch club out of concern, but Sister Yuan is so popular and it seems she will definitely not be driven away. So why should I put in so much effort?

So the plan to form a witch club was shelved for the time being, and Rika began to enjoy the good days when she only had to run around various offices every day, getting snacks here and drinks there like a beggar.

......

It has to be said that although the Department of Super Powers is also an official department for superpowers like the Special Intelligence Office, the working atmosphere of the Department of Super Powers is obviously far better than that of the Special Intelligence Office.

The Special Intelligence Office was even an idle department in the beginning. It was not until Kenta Kishibe showed strength beyond everyone's imagination in the cannibal hotel case that he won the title of "Gaimu". The Special Intelligence Office then gradually received attention - but in the final analysis, that's all. The Cabinet would definitely not hand over the Hound Unit to the Special Intelligence Office and would only hold it tightly to itself. Therefore, the Special Intelligence Office still has only three knights, including Kenta Kishibe.

And it is not known whether it is because the Hound Corps gave the top cabinet members the illusion that "people with super powers can be mass-produced and easily driven", so even though Kenta Kishibe showed strength comparable to that of a third-level knight, the leaders of the Special Affairs Office are still just ordinary people.

This is because Kenta Kishibe has no ambitions, and the other two knights also just want to be civil servants and wait for death, so the Special Affairs Office can still be calm and muddleheaded, otherwise there would have been a big fuss long ago...

Compared to the Special Information Office, the Super Power Department is much more lively. Although it cannot be said that it is full of vitality and everything is competing for development, at least it is thriving, with a large number of staff and a complete organization. Although the nominal minister is also an ordinary person, the real leaders are the deputy minister Hattori Yukiichi and the chief of the Operations Department, Chosokabe. One of them is one of the earliest exposed knights, the "Police Knight", and the other is a powerful third-level knight "Uta Knight". Even other powerful knights will not question their leadership.

He is an expert leading an expert.

In this kind of startup department, the relationships between people are much more harmonious. After all, there are many opportunities for advancement, and everyone can be rewarded as long as they work hard. There is no need for intrigue - you can gain more by using that energy to work hard on your own thing.

As for those who don't want to work hard, like Rika, then they can just be a mascot. Colleagues are also happy to see such a cute little guy to relieve everyone's tired mood - so Fujiwara Rika's fighting spirit was gradually worn away in this atmosphere.

Until now.

......

The task that Rika received today was to go to an embassy somewhere in the area covered by the emergence of magical energy to conduct daily observations and records. In the area covered by the emergence of magical energy, some important places must be observed and recorded every day, and compared with previous situations at any time to determine whether any abnormalities will occur.

Of course, Rikka would not write such a report, but in fact she did not need to write it - the Super Power Department did not have the authority to directly supervise the embassy. It could only provide the report to the embassy of other countries, and then the embassy staff would observe and fill it out on their own.

Rika Fujiwara was sent to "assist with work" on behalf of the Super Power Division - in fact, she just had to bring back the reports after the embassy staff completed them.

Although theoretically there is no need for the Department of Super Power to send special personnel, and the two sides can directly transfer data, the Department of Super Power stubbornly requires that the reports of each embassy must be collected by a special person dispatched by the Department of Super Power.

It is particularly in line with the stereotype of the Japanese...

However, it must be said that although Rika knows nothing about filling out forms, she is still highly respected in embassies of various countries because she came to "assist" on behalf of the Super Power Unit.

There are even those who are secretly trying to gather information or even try to win them over. After all, with the emergence of the phenomenon of magical energy, everyone is now very curious about the superpower department of the police force and are trying to find out some information from it.

Although Rika has experienced things in a sense and is mature beyond her age, she is ultimately just a young girl with a low level of education.

Compared to her peers or even some adults, Rika might not be inferior, but compared to these guys in diplomacy...

I can only say that Rika is still a little immature.

Therefore, in daily contacts, it is inevitable that Rika will be tricked into saying all kinds of things because of some exchanges with those embassy staff, and even Rika herself has no way of realizing it - plus Rika is the archive manager and has access to a large number of archives, so unknowingly, Rika has become the most popular person in embassies of various countries.

By the way, Rika's idea of trying to establish her own small power was naturally noticed by those cunning diplomats - but these diplomats also knew that with just Rika, this small power would only remain at the idea level, so...

How about we help her?

Since they are helping to build up a power, then it would be reasonable to add some sand in, right?

And Rika is the closest sister of the original psychic Madoka Kaname in the Super Power No. 1 series. She is also a popular mascot in the Super Power No. 1 series and has easy access to all files. If she has her own power, she will definitely use her connections and influence to expand her power, right?

By then......

I can only say that compared to these people who play diplomacy, Rika is indeed a little too immature...

160. Try to contact Su Su

The confidence that Rika has in building her own power comes from the five remaining potions she has.

Speaking of which, in fact, through reading various archival materials in the archives room these days, Rika also vaguely realized that these potions probably have a "success rate" - obviously, not everyone has the strong will and good luck of God like Sister Yuan to become a "raw stone superpower user."

If other people took these potions rashly, they might turn into monsters?

The origin of the monster in the man-eating hotel case has not been determined yet. The Super Power Division can only classify it as a "monster with unknown birth cause", but in fact, Rika secretly guessed that the birth of the monster in the hotel might be related to her potions.

However, Rika never told anyone about her speculation. After all, she had no evidence, and telling anyone about it would only cause more trouble...

But no matter what, due to these concerns, Rika did not dare to use these medicines without authorization, and she even did not dare to tell others about the existence of these medicines.

In fact, at present, only Rika knows the existence of these potions. The other people who know the existence of the potions, Sister Yuan, thought that the potions were destroyed by the monsters in the hotel, and the other two sisters had died in the monster's attack.

So to some extent, Rika can actually use these potions at any time, or even throw them away.

It's just that Rika is timid. She is worried that the unknown effect of the potion may lead to unexpected situations. She is also afraid that using the potion carelessly may attract the attention of the mysterious force that lost the potion. In addition, the comfortable life in the Super Power Unit makes Rika feel that there is no need to use it, which is why she has been dragging it on until now.

Moreover, even with the authority that Rika has now to freely access all the information in the archive room, she was unable to find the existence of this potion - this shows that the force that created this potion may be more mysterious and even more powerful than the Super Power Unit...

As for this kind of force or existence, Rika could only think of one - that was the Knight Zero who appeared and was filed in the cannibal hotel case, and the mysterious "Su Su" revealed by the Knight Zero who could strengthen and upgrade the knight's belt!

Speaking of which, the Super Power Division has actually been secretly investigating Su Su for a long time.

Out of respect for Knight Zero and for the sake of caution, the Super Power Department did not contact Su Su directly, but secretly investigated Su Su's relevant information. However, as the investigation progressed, the Super Power Department discovered that this mysterious "Su Su" was most likely a member of the Cabinet faction.

First of all, the company where Su Su works is Higuchi Pharmaceutical - this company is one of the assets of a big shot in the cabinet faction, and Su Su is one of the middle-level leaders of this company.

Of course, if this can still be said to be just a coincidence, then...

In the subsequent investigation, the police force discovered that Su Su's live-in girlfriend Hua Jianyuan had long been receiving financial support from a certain chaebol. The chaebol had been regularly transferring large sums of assets to Hua Jianyuan's account every year for more than ten years, and the chaebol was also close to the cabinet faction.

If the company I work for is just a coincidence, then this is not a coincidence...

Therefore, the police force had to face the fact that this Su Su was most likely a member of the cabinet, or at worst close to the cabinet faction - therefore, the police force has not yet had direct contact with Su Su.

The existence of Su Su also made the police force once again raise their estimate of the extraordinary power held by the Cabinet faction. If even the mysterious Knight Zero and Su Su who can modify the belt are members of the Cabinet faction, then the power held by the Cabinet faction is far beyond the imagination of the police force...

However, the only thing that can comfort themselves is that the police force is convinced that even if the cabinet faction possesses extremely powerful supernatural powers, this supernatural power will never only follow the cabinet faction's lead.

This can be seen from the Hound Corps that confronted the Knights of Super Power Unit 1. If the Cabinet faction can really have absolute control over the extraordinary power it possesses, would it still send out the "weak" Hound Corps as a minor prank?

Not to mention, the police force doesn't believe that those with incredibly powerful superpowers would really be willing to serve as dogs for a group of ordinary people...

Well, Super Power Part 1 is an exception. After all, Hattori Yukichi’s biological father is a high-ranking member of the police force, and the strongest fighter is Hattori Yukichi’s best friend.

This is also one of the reasons why Hattori Koichi is valued by many bigwigs and they believe that this nephew will definitely be in the decision-making level of the police force in the future - the top leaders must have the ability to absolutely control the super-powered troops under their command.

......

Of course, Rika would never have thought of these extra things. All she knew was that Su Su was a very mysterious person, and was suspected to be a member of the rival department of the Super Power Department - in fact, not everyone could understand the game between the police force and the cabinet faction. Naturally, no one would publicize such things, and ordinary people would never think of this because they did not have enough information.

Regarding the relationship between the Super Power Department and the Special Intelligence Office, many people think that the Super Power Department, which belongs to the police force, and the Special Intelligence Office, which belongs only to the cabinet, are just competing for the right to speak.
