How come you have such strong superpowers?

April 8th.

Half past nine in the morning.

Chen Lusi finished washing up, changed a set of clothes, and went out to take a ride to Pengcheng.

Jiangchang City where he is located is not far from that super first-tier city.

To some extent, it can even be said to be adjacent.

In the past, it was only a two-hour drive.

This is also the reason why he did not choose to set out yesterday.

The entire journey was silent.

It's past eleven o'clock.

Chen Lusi arrived in Pengcheng and took a taxi to the building Xia Panqiu mentioned before twelve o'clock.

It was a fairly well-known office building nearby.

However, today is a working day, and twelve o'clock happens to be the lunch break time for most companies.

Therefore, people come and go, and almost all the elevators in the building are overloaded.

Chen Lusi waited downstairs for a long time and was a little late when he arrived at the top floor.

It's already 12:04.

There is a company on the top floor, and its name is 'Tiance Trading'.

Chen Lusi came to the front desk.

There was a girl standing there. She glanced at Chen Lusi and asked feebly: "Excuse me, are you..."

Chen Lusi thought for a while and replied: "...Chen Lusi, Miss Xia Panqiu asked me to come."

"Oh - I understand, please go inside, go to the end and turn left, and you will find the conference room." The girl said in a long voice, showing an expression of realization, and then pointed the way to Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi thanked him, turned around and walked into the company.

But it's a company.

There was no one inside at all.

It is extremely unusual for a trading company to be so empty, even during lunch break.

Chen Lusi observed the environment while moving forward, and soon found the conference room that the girl at the front desk mentioned.

Knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in."

Chen Lusi opened the door and walked in, recognizing Xia Panqiu at first sight.

He stood at the front of the conference table. Compared to the casualness of the first meeting, she looked much more formal this time.

This formality is mainly reflected in the dress.

She wore an OL suit.

However, in Chen Lusi's opinion, he is not very suitable for this outfit.

With her petite figure, she wears OL clothes, which even makes people feel like she is deliberately pretending to be mature.

In addition to Xia Panqiu, an 'acquaintance', there were more than a dozen people in the office whom Chen Lusi didn't know.

There are young and old.

There were young men who looked to be the same age as him, and there were also older men whose hairline had receded to the back of their heads.

Their clothing, attitudes and expressions are all different.

But now everyone is looking at Chen Lusi.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Chen Lusi glanced around the conference room and apologized.

Xia Panqiu couldn't see the emotions clearly, but just nodded: "Please sit down."

Chen Lusi glanced at the conference room again, then found a chair at the end of the conference table and sat down.

And he seemed to be the only one who was late.

He just sat down.

Xia Panqiu, who was sitting in the first seat, clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, cleared her throat and said, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started."

"However, there is a prerequisite that I must tell you first, and that is -

You are human beings. Although you are special, you are still human beings.

You are not the chosen ones, you are not freaks, you are just ordinary people who are unlucky.

Simply put, they are victims.

Please remember this sentence. Except for some people who join Tiance Mansion and Kunlun, others please live as normal people.

Put away your bold ideas.

We have a complete criminal investigation process for you.

This is the premise of everything.

The reason why you are here, and the reason why I will explain to you, is not so that you can become some kind of superman or pursue some kind of power.

I just want to tell you what has happened to you and what is happening in the world, so that you can have a better understanding, instead of being obsessed with random thoughts.

After all, whether it is superpowers or feelings, it is better to explain clearly than to let people guess. Communication is the most primitive and simple procedure for communication between people. "

Xia Panqiu spoke the opening remarks very skillfully.

Most of the people in the audience had different expressions.

Xia Panqiu took a panoramic view of everyone's faces and quickly reassessed everyone's danger level.

Although the process sounds long.

But in reality, only a few seconds passed.

Xia Panqiu paused, then quickly continued: "Then, let's get started."

"I know you have encountered some strange things. First, let me define your various strange abilities-"

"We call it 'authority', and the source comes from various legends."

"As for what legend it comes from... I can tell you directly, I don't know."

"Because it's too complicated."

"In addition to the myths and stories that we are familiar with, I believe that everyone has heard of some folklore about strange powers and gods since childhood."

"And this is the source of your abilities."

"Spiritual resurgence, mysterious resurgence... In short, this is the concept. A certain kind of energy has 'activated' the virtual creatures pointed to by these folklores. They have become some kind of anomalies. They possess you and you become Awakened ones and gaining part of their abilities, this is what I just called 'authority'."

When Xia Panqiu said this, he did not continue to observe the reactions of others, but took a drink of water and continued:

"I gave an example of the most common legend of repaying a favor in various regions... The routines of these stories are the same. In short, it is a story about someone saving a creature that is not human anyway, and then the other person turns into a human to repay the favor.

Become an ordinary girl and still be a girl...Have you heard of this? "

"This is also a situation we often encounter. There is very little activity in the activation of such legends, and the powers they grant are usually 'transformations' that pose no threat.

Of course, this is a normal situation. In fact, in the process of granting authority, there is a probability of 'misplacement', which is the so-called 'misplacement of authority'.

To put it simply, the host has a strong desire for a certain directional ability, and the legend of "activation" happens to have related descriptions. For example, in the rural legend of repaying a favor, in addition to transformation, there is also a description of infinite power. if.

Then authority may be misplaced... This is why I can't explain the source of your authority clearly, because it's too complicated. "

"This is not an uncommon situation."

"Do you know what 'authority' I have encountered the most so far?"

"...It's invisibility and immense strength."

“There is one present who has authority over the invisible multitudes.”

"I don't even know what you are thinking..."

"However, this kind of misplaced authority is not a universal wishing machine. After all, the scale of the spread of the legend is there, and the affinity is there. Under normal circumstances.

Even if the host has extremely strong feelings and obtains the power it wants without knowing it, it will not be much more powerful.

For example, invisibility only lasts for seven or eight seconds in most cases... He is extremely powerful, maybe just a little stronger than ordinary people.

In most areas of the third type of contact, the limit of the authority granted can only reach C. "

Speaking of which.

Xia Panqiu paused again. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Speaking of contact, let me mention by the way that we have divided the 'activation' of virtual creatures pointed to by all legends into three levels -

The first type of contact refers to orthodox gods whose origins can be traced. Some people specialize in this area, just in case, but basically no one takes it too seriously, because it has been passed down for so long and multiple ethnic groups have merged several times. After being interpreted by countless officials and people in several dynasties, the duties and powers of these gods are extremely confusing.

Before truly contacting the gods, no one can guarantee their duties and authority, and no one can know what they are facing.

The earliest misplacement of authority actually refers to the misplacement of their authority. "

"The second kind of contact is based on the former, but it is different from the former and is not an orthodox second creation. Or it may be a widely circulated legend related to some well-known figures."

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind, a rural legend spread in a small area."

"The vast majority of people I come into contact with are in the third category."

"I've only encountered the second type once."

"As for the first category, I have never encountered them before, and even in all the years Tiance has been established, I have never encountered them a few times."

"So Kunlun came to the conclusion that compared to rural legends, it takes longer and more difficult for the first and second types of legends to be 'activated'."

Looking at the thoughtful people below.

Xia Panqiu suddenly changed the subject: "Okay, don't think about it. I'm not saying this to make you remember."

"I just want you to know that your abilities are actually pretty useless... especially here in the south, which doesn't even reach the edge of the Central Plains."

"So don't think that you are different. Whether it's invisibility or immense strength, if you really have to deal with it, it's just a matter of bullets."

"Everyone here is a victim of the third kind of contact. No matter what abilities you have obtained, they are not enough in the face of modern weapons."

"I hope you are aware of this."
