269. "Rhino Horn" Thomson
"Didn't you have a single new member before we came?" Thomson asked.
"Well, that's true, but you can't blame us." Xiao Mo shrugged his shoulders and said slowly: "After all, the recruitment conditions for members of the Liberty Alliance are a bit too harsh. ”
"First of all, if you want to join the Alliance of the Liberals, you must be a superpower, or have other special talents that can compete with superpowers...... This has excluded the vast majority of the world's population. ”
"Secondly, we don't expect you to be a good person in the traditional sense, but at least you can't do something disgusting that goes far beyond the bottom line of morality......"
"Murder, for example, is a crime, but we don't prohibit killing entirely...... But you have to be able to give a valid reason before you kill someone – like the person you're going to kill is a big drug lord who does all kinds of evil, or he gave you green......"
"Actions like, 'I don't like this guy, so I killed him,' are absolutely forbidden here...... We all seek freedom, but freedom always has to have a boundary, right? ”
Both Thomson and Jackson nodded thoughtfully, and followed Schumer through a hallway to an electronic door at the end.
The electronic door slowly opened, and they were greeted by a simple multi-purpose living room, where a young man with glasses was sitting on a sofa next to him holding a laptop and looking at something, and in the center of the living room, a thin figure in a black sweatshirt had his back to them.
As if hearing the sound of the electronic door slowly opening, the man with his back to them turned around and smiled at them: "Welcome to the Alliance of the Liberals, I am the general person in charge here, Yan Xiuze." ”
"The Origin Hero of the Huaxia Kingdom...... I have admired the daimyo for a long time. "Uncle Thomson seems to know Yan Xiuze quite well.
"Are you...... Well, Minglang, what's this name? Yan Xiuze looked at the man with glasses on the sofa and asked.
"George Thomson, 42, a national of the United States of America, previously worked as an executive at an advertising agency, but has since left his job." Minglang pushed his glasses and replied without raising his head: "This is the personal information he submitted on our website." ”
"Then the ...... in the back," Yan Xiuze pointed to the young American Jackson who wrapped himself tightly in the back.
"Cole Jackson, 23 years old, also an American citizen, unemployed at home from college."
"It's a pleasure for you two." Yan Xiuze nodded: "I still want to confirm on the spot, you submitted your personal information through the email channel on the official website of our 'Liberty Alliance', right?" ”
"That's right." Both nodded in unison.
"Very good, although our Liberals Alliance has not been established for a long time, the two of you should have visited our headquarters just now, and you should understand our deep economic strength." Yan Xiuze smiled and said: "It's not a secret, the investor behind us is the world's most famous business giant Arrow Group, so the membership benefits of the alliance members are also very good." ”
"Yes, we've seen it on the official website." Thomson said: "It is said that if you can join the Alliance of the Liberals, you will be able to eat and live? ”
"Uh...... Of course, if the members have such needs......" Yan Xiuze raised his eyebrows and immediately said: "But before that, we still need to conduct the necessary qualification tests for the two of them......
"First of all, you're supposed to be superpowers, aren't you?"
"Of course."
"Well, let's start with you, Mr. Thomson." Yan Xiuze nodded.
"I'm sorry, it's Thomson."
"Okay, okay...... You know, we Chinese people are not particularly sensitive to these foreign names...... By the way, this one on your head is supposed to be a rhinoceros horn, right? Can I just call you rhino horn? Don't worry, it's just a temporary codename, it's more intuitive, what you see, Mr. Thompson. ”
"It's Tom...... Forget it, whatever you want. Thomson said helplessly.
"Very well, uh, I noticed this horn on the top of your head...... So I'm guessing your superpower is that you can mutate into a rhinoceros or some other giant beast? ”
"It's not." Hearing this, Thomson shook his head: "My superpower is very simple, that is, I have one more horn than ordinary people." ”
Yan Xiuze: "......"
"Wait......"
"I didn't understand ......"
"Your ability is ......"
"Got a horn?"
Thomson nodded again: "That's right. ”
"What else? Gone? ”
"It's gone."
"Haha, that's pretty unusual." Yan Xiuze rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly, and said with a dry smile: "So except for this one that looks very hard...... Beyond the horns, you're left with only a supernatural physique, right? ”
"No, although I know that most superpowers have physical qualities that are far beyond the average person, unfortunately, I don't have this either." Thomson sighed regretfully: "Although the reality is cruel, it is what it is...... My physical fitness is still just the level of an average forty-year-old uncle. ”
"How is that possible? Superpowers don't have superpowers? Yan Xiuze was stunned.
"That...... Xiuze. Minglang, who was holding a laptop on the sofa on the side, didn't know when he had come to Yan Xiuze's ear and whispered: "The first batch of mutated superpowers do all have super physiques, but among the mutants after a few months ago, there are indeed a small number of physical fitness that still stay at the level of ordinary people. ”
"Is there any pattern to this?" Yan Xiuze also whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito fly: "For example, the more the awakened superpower is against the sky, the less likely it is to improve physical fitness?" ”
"At the moment, there seems to be no correlation between the two." Minglang responded.
"In other words, there is also the possibility of an American uncle like the American uncle in front of us who has poor physical fitness, awakened superpowers and garbage?"
"Is it so straightforward...... Minglang wiped a cold sweat and muttered.
Since the two of them were communicating in Huaxia and their voices were still small, Thomson, who only had ordinary people's level of hearing, was naturally at a loss, so he could only look at the two of them and whisper.
"Ahem......" After a long while, Yan Xiuze ended his communication with Minglang, coughed lightly and said: "That, rhino horn, I already have a general understanding of your situation, and now we are still in the evaluation stage, so how about letting me hear the story of the friend behind you first?" ”
"Of course." Thomson shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside indifferently.
"Then ......" Yan Xiuze looked at the bald American young man behind him and asked slowly, "I've been a little curious for a long time......
"What's your superpower?"
