(44) The superpowers of Arctic Village
According to the address provided by the street performer, we found a superpower known as "Magneto", as the name suggests, his superpower can use his body to absorb metal.
It is a brick and wood house, and the doors are all wooden, and even the doorknobs are wooden. Chi Qi knocked on the door a few times, but no one responded.
"I'm not at home, let's go!"
Chi Qi was a little impatient.
"Wait!" Uncle Crab took two steps back and pointed to the roof, "There is smoke coming out of the chimney on the roof, it must be at home!" ”
The house is not big and the knock on the door will not be unheard. Deliberately did not come to open the door, presumably the owner did not know us and did not dare to open the door.
"Do you still have any money in your bag?"
I turned my head and asked Chiqi.
"A few more bundles!"
Chi Qi unzipped her pouch and showed it to me.
"That's fine!"
I touched a stone from the ground that felt heavier to my hand.
"What are you picking up rocks for?"
Zhou Qing hurriedly stopped me.
"You don't care!"
I smiled at her like a naughty child.
As I spoke, I threw the stone in my hand at the window of the house, and the glass was shattered with a "pop", and then I turned to Chiqi and said.
"Throw money!"
"Okay!"
Robert and Chiki excitedly threw money at me through the window I had smashed open.
"I didn't think you'd be such a fool!"
Zhou Qing complained softly.
"Efficiency! My style of doing things is efficiency! ”
I lit a cigarette and flicked another one over Uncle Crab.
The glass was shattered, and so much money was thrown into the house, and sure enough, a man opened the door and came out, covering his head, still bleeding from his head, and holding the stone I threw in.
"How have I offended you? Why are you hitting my glass? ”
I've never seen anything like us, the man asked, covering his head.
"You didn't offend us, can you throw money at your house if you offend us?"
I laughed.
"It's quite accurate, and the head is opened!"
Looking at the blood on his head, Chi Qi said to me with a smile.
"What you threw accurately, this stone is iron ore!"
The man said, holding the stone.
I picked up the stone casually, it was a bit heavy, and I threw it out without looking closely, and it could really be iron ore.
"So you're really Magneto? Did your head suck the stone into your head? ”
Robert was in high spirits.
The man did not answer, and the hand holding the stone spread out his palm. The stone was in his palm, he flipped his palm, and the stone did not fall to the ground, but sucked tightly on his palm.
"You're really a Magneto!"
Chi Qi sighed.
"I'm sorry, we didn't know that the stone would hit you, but we knocked on the door for a long time and there was no response, so we made this decision."
Zhou Qing hurriedly apologized to this person.
"Who are you? The police? ”
The men looked at us one by one.
"Why are you all afraid of the people in the government, are the people in the government so terrible?"
"We don't want to be treated like guinea pigs in the lab."
"We are friends with Nevia."
"Nevia? I don't know! ”
The man held his head, and it hurt to be smashed.
"What's the street performer's name? He introduced! ”
I mentioned that the busker was close to him, but I couldn't remember the man's name.
"The last name is Wilson! The one that will levitate! ”
Zhou Qing added.
"Him! We're good friends, you told us earlier, that's it! ”
When the man heard the name, he replied.
Saying that, the man let us into the house.
Sitting on the couch, I glanced around the room and there was no metalwork in the house.
"When I heard you knock at the door, I watched at the door, and when the stone entered the house, it was sucked on my head!"
The man threw the stone out of the window with all his might.
"When did you discover that you had this ability?"
I asked.
"Like Wilson, I was born with this ability."
The man replied,
I took out a bunch of keys, and the keys instantly flew out of my hand and into the man's body out of thin air, and the man let out an "ah" in pain.
"The magnetism is quite strong!"
Uncle Crab said.
"Let's go! There was an iron ring on the handbag, and I felt like the bag was about to fly towards him! ”
Chiqi clutched her handbag tightly,
"You don't know why you have this ability, do you?"
I continued.
The man nodded.
"Let's go! The ability was seen with his own eyes, and he didn't know how he got it! That's all for it! ”
I got up.
"Finally leaving!"
Chi Qi also got up, and got up too violently, presumably the hand that grabbed the bag didn't have the strength it used before, and the bag began to be attracted in the direction of the man.
Chi Qi grabbed the bag tightly with both hands, and her body was tilted 45 degrees, maintaining her balance, and her movements were very funny.
I pulled Chi Qi into my arms with all my might, and then I was able to get out of the room.
Out of the room, Chiqi was still lying in my arms.
"Nymphomaniac! Look at the road! ”
I pushed her away.
According to the address given by the busker, we knocked on the door again, but the door still didn't open. Just as he was about to shout, "We're Wilson's friends," I saw a man fly out of the window on the second floor, without gliders or thrusters, but like swimming, staring down and climbing in the sky.
"Gotcha! This guy who also treated us as a government ran away! ”
I sighed.
"Fortunately, we also saw his superpowers with our own eyes!"
Uncle Crab said.
"With such superpowers, why are they so afraid of the government?"
Zhou Qing was puzzled, superpowers seemed to be omnipotent, why should they be afraid of the government.
"I'm afraid of being caught, I'm afraid of being a guinea pig, and I'm going to go into the lab!"
I explained.
"The government doesn't necessarily arrest them in the lab. More than 100 years ago, during the Second World War, the government used a pair of identical twin sisters with 'synchronicity' superpowers to pass on secret information! ”
Uncle Crab added.
"Synchronicity?"
Chi Qi asked.
"To put it simply, synchronicity is when two or more people encounter the same thing. is a supernatural force that cannot be explained by mere coincidence. ”
Crab big explained.
"It seems that they are afraid of becoming instruments of war."
Zhou Qing sighed.
"Every country has a superpower team to protect the country, like the Avengers and Justice League in American movies, and these film and television works are not necessarily groundless."
I concluded, and then turned to Chi Qi and said, "Maybe our boss is someone from a certain country's government who organizes superpowers!" ”
"Shhhh
Chi Qi put her finger to her lips and reminded me not to guess about the boss.
One was smashed and wounded, one flew away, and had to go to the next one.
This time, the superpowered is a prophet, and he has the ability to predict the future.
Unlike the previous two, when he arrived at his home, the door was wide open.
"Knowing you're coming, welcome!"
A man with drooping eyes shook hands warmly.
"Know we're coming?"
I looked at him in amazement.
"Aren't you here for my power?"
He replied with a smile.
"Yes, he can see the future! So he counted until we came back. ”
Chi Qi suddenly realized.
"And you know who we are?"
I further tested what he called prefabrication.
"A couple of scientists and detectives, and one," he said, gesturing to Robert, "a pilot!" ”
"Awesome!"
Uncle Crab exclaimed.
"Can you predict the future?"
I then asked.
"Not really! Only part of it can be known! ”
He pretended to be modest.
"And you know what I want to ask you?"
I asked him if he knew what I was about to ask him.
"You want to ask where my abilities come from? And I can't answer you about it. Like everyone else, my abilities are innate. I can see something in the future, but I can't know what it used to be. This ability is something I was born with, that is, from the past, and I have no way of knowing. ”
He replied fluently.
"It's kind of interesting, give money and give money!"
I'm going to take Chiqi's arm.
Chi Qi went to dig out her handbag.
"The money in the handbag is gone!"
Without waiting for Chi Qi to open the handbag, the man said.
Chi Qi turned the handbag upside down, and sure enough, he had just thrown it away.
"I'm not short of money, I can predict the lottery numbers."
The man laughed.
"That's right! That's right! Interesting, you can predict the lottery numbers! ”
Uncle Crab is busy with the round to avoid Chiqi's embarrassment.
"Sir, you're amazing! Can we predict our future? ”
Chiqi gave a thumbs up.
"In a few days, three of you will be standing on the Antarctic continent and in danger. I advise you, if you are desperate, find your friend from 2036! ”
The man closed his eyes for a long moment before speaking.
"If the prophecy is really reliable, there is no point in human life! Everything will be known in advance. In addition, this will not happen, we are so close to the North Pole, how can we go to the South Pole for no reason? ”
I don't believe it.
Time will confirm my prophecy. ”
The man grinned.
