Chapter 9: The Prayer Meeting

Somewhere, in the darkness, a door was slowly pushed open, and a figure flashed into the room.

The figure passed through the long, dark space and pushed open another door. There is a faint blue fluorescence behind this door, coming from the wall-mounted LCD TV. A burly man sat in front of a fifty-five-inch screen, the light of the kinescope constantly shifting on his face.

"This is the report brought to you by the daily Kangtu, we are at the scene of the landing of flight A9532." A reporter said in front of the camera, "What happened today can only be described as a miracle." Leng Ming, the captain of the plane who made an emergency landing with a near-impossible operation, has now been sent to Kangtu Central Hospital.

It is reported that Captain Leng still needs time to recuperate, and he will not be able to be interviewed for the time being......"

The burly man picked up the remote control and pressed a button, and the TV was immediately muted.

"So you already know that." The shadow standing behind the couch spoke, a woman's voice, "The operation failed." The plane didn't land, and the commissioner of the Sky Eye Society on the plane was still alive. ”

After a pause, she added, "Now that commissioner has returned to the Heavenly Eye Society, he should be at the excavation camp as soon as tonight." And the plane didn't crash, so it was only a matter of time before they noticed that the engine was human-acted. At that time, it will be difficult for us to do it again. ”

The man groaned, his out-of-focus eyes staring at the silent LCD screen, his fingers unconsciously rubbing against the armrests of the couch.

The accident with the A9532 was not an accident, but they were intentional. In fact, there is only one real goal, which is the appraisal specialist of the Tianyan Society who took that flight to Kangtu.

A day earlier, Skyeye had unearthed a containment object somewhere on the outskirts of Kangtu City. The Sky Eye will pull up the barrier and set up camp, and the experts in charge of the identification are expected to arrive at the scene today.

At present, Tianyan's attention to the newly unearthed containment object is not high. However, once experts arrive at the scene and conduct identification, the containment hazard sequence is bound to increase.

This is obviously not good news for those of them who want to get their hands on the containment.

"'Pilots turn the tide,' we all know that's." The man glanced coldly at the woman behind him, "No one can complete a forced landing from such a situation." What happened? ”

“...... There is the intervention of the transcendent. The woman said.

"The people of the Heavenly Eye Society?" The man frowned, "They noticed our movements?" ”

"Nope. The Celestial Eye Society doesn't seem to know what the situation is, it should be a wild transcendent. ”

The man snorted heavily.

"Dare to meddle in the affairs of the Prayer Society, is it another clown who thinks he can't do anything after awakening a little extraordinary? Very well, then he will realize in the most tragic way what a ridiculous mistake he has made, and then pay the ultimate price in great pain and remorse. ”

The man in the light of the television had a dangerous light in his eyes, like a lion who had been violated by his territory.

The woman said calmly, "I can't lock the identity of this transcendent for the time being. However, the Eye of Heaven would believe that it was this transcendent who killed Containment N-2814 in an instant, and that its hazard sequence rating was once level three.

There are also indications that the subject may be a Sequence A power-type transcendent, with an unexplained ability to fly at hyper-speeds. According to survivors of flight A9532, the subject transcendent appears to have caught the downing airliner with his bare hands. ”

The man was silent.

Unarmed......

Then there was silence for another half minute, and then the man snorted softly.

"There are priorities, let's leave this transcendent person alone for now, and we'll talk about it later." He said gloomily, "One question at a time, let's focus on the containment first. ”

"That's what I thought too." The woman chimed in.

The man thought for a moment and said, "Then inform the action team that we will prepare for action tonight." ”

"The operation team is not fully assembled." The woman said, "We haven't ...... yet."

"There's no time. The Celestial Eye isn't aware of what they've unearthed for the time being, so we still have a chance. Once they see something wrong and are more vigilant, we may not be able to do it even if we are prepared. ”

After a pause, the man asked again, "Is the beast in place?" ”

"You should be ready for action before nightfall." The woman said.

"Has the shadow arrived? He's leading the way, isn't he? ”

"Yes, he can act at any time."

"That's enough."

“...... I see. The woman nodded and retreated to the door, "I'll inform the action team." ”

The door was closed. The man turned the volume back on, and fell into deep thought in front of the LCD screen.

...

...

In the afternoon, 3:05 a.m.

Jiang Bei read the report on the TV news word for word, and raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

That's it? Nothing?

The engine of the plane failed, and the captain saved the lives of the whole plane in the face of danger...... It's gone.

Without his great might, there is no "shock!" Superman Really Exists". It's as if no one notices his presence.

I was careless, I should have gone into the cabin to brush my face in front of all the passengers before leaving. Jiangbei reflects.

But on second thought, at least the pilot was sure he saw himself, and there was no reason not to say it. So there seems to be only one possibility.

The truth is covered up.

I should have thought of it a long time ago. Now he suddenly knows that the world is not as calm as he always thought, and it turns out that superpowers do not exist only in comic books. But I haven't heard of it in the news for so many years, and someone must be responsible for covering it up.

This kind of setting is not surprising in fantasy works, and if Jiangbei had known about it before, he might have agreed with this way of avoiding panic. But now it's different.

This masking approach affects the rate at which he can expand his influence and earn library value.

It's best for him to be a well-known national idol like Superman in the comics, wearing underwear to save the earth an average of ten times a week eight times a week, and condensing the two big characters "hope" into an S icon on his chest, so that it is estimated that the fastest way to get in the account.

Maybe fly two laps around the downtown square with a plane?

Or specialize in getting a verified big V account to play and operate or something? It sounds a bit low, but after all, it's not cold to continue your life. It's just that someone might come to check the water meter, and he doesn't really want his identity to attract unnecessary attention......

Just thinking about it, Jiangbei suddenly felt that his waist was stabbed twice. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Xiao Qi with innocent eyes.

"The snacks are gone, and I still have to eat." She said.

Jiangbei: "......"

Jiang Bei thought that anyway, now that his waist is still bleeding, it just so happens that Xiao Qi may also need new clothes - after all, it is not a matter to always ask her to wear her own clothes, and Jiang Bei also wants to take the opportunity to ask her more questions, so he led her out.

However, Xiao Qi, who went out, didn't seem to be very interested in answering his questions, but pulled him to ask questions throughout the whole process. One moment she lay outside the shop window, curiously looking at the pirated Yu-Gi-Oh cards behind her, and then her eyes lit up at the novel snacks in the hands of children passing by.

She bought a few random clothes at a roadside shop, and when she was about to return to her apartment, she had a seizure.

"Snacks! Didn't buy snacks! ”

She tugged on Jiangbei's sleeve, and she had a posture of squatting on the ground and refusing to leave without eating.

"Good, good, snacks." Jiangbei can't resist her.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Bei lifted the stuffed shopping bag to the counter of the convenience store owner.

The boss looked at him with a smile as he picked up the laser scanner: "Finally adopted my suggestion?" Yes, if you don't make a sound, you've already made a splash, and you actually found such a superb one. ”

"What?"

Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the boss's eyes, and saw Xiao Qi who was touching the shelves with a curious baby at a glance.

She was fiddling with a carton of eggs.

Jiangbei had a premonition: "Put that one down later, it's not a snack." Don't ......"

Syllable.

The egg carton fell to the ground, the shell shattered, and the golden egg liquid splashed all over the ground.

Xiao Qi immediately retracted his little hand and stood on the side honestly motionless.

Clever. JPG。

Jiang Bei sighed: "I'm sorry, that one is mine." I've got that box of eggs in place. ”

But the boss still smiled: "It's just a box of eggs, it's okay." Just when I'm a part, don't forget to call me when the time comes. ”

Then he lowered his voice and approached Jiangbei's ear: "You kid has the ability, you really found the best." You know I've always been very knowledgeable about cars, and now there are a lot of cars out there, which look very new on the surface, but in fact, the cylinders are all black.

The one you are looking for is not only high-grade, but also low-mileage, boss, I dare to pack a ticket is definitely a new car. You may not know how rare new cars are in this era of used cars, but you kid have to cherish them......"

"Not what you think, boss." Jiang Bei's face darkened, "But by the way, boss, can you even see this?" ”

"Of course." The boss held his head high, "I think I also had a story when I was young." Ex-girlfriends add up to fit a train car...... Oh, but don't tell your sister-in-law about it, she doesn't know about it yet......"

"Ahem." Jiang Bei coughed lightly twice and gave him a look.

The boss was stunned, turned his head, and suddenly found that his eight-year-old second daughter was standing next to him with her head tilted, with big innocent eyes.

Boss: "......"

The atmosphere was awkward.

"Hah...... Haha, Dad is joking with the guests. The boss laughed embarrassedly but kindly, rubbed his daughter's little head, and lowered his voice, "Don't talk nonsense to your mother." ”

"Okay~" The little girl nodded obediently.

"What a good boy for Daddy." The boss laughed.

"Then Dad, I'm going to buy a playset for Magical Girl Love!"

Seeing this, the little girl had a sly smile on her face.

Extort. JPG。

The smile on the boss's face gradually froze.

"I'd better pay for that box of eggs." Jiang Bei paid with a smile and lifted the shopping bag from the counter, "Looks like the boss will need it." ”

“......”

At 5:30, Jiangbei, who had finally completed the procurement work, walked back with large bags and small bags. Xiao Qi followed behind and happily licked a large popsicle.

"It's so icy, it's so hard!" The girl looked satisfied, "It's so comfortable~"

"You're happy...... That's it. Jiang Bei, who was carrying a bunch of package bags, snorted and panted, feeling like a popeye who had swallowed spinach.

"Your fitness really needs to be improved." Xiao Qi said solemnly, "The physical foundation is also very important to bear the extraordinary. Especially soon you will awaken to your own ......"

She stopped abruptly halfway through her words, and her footsteps stopped abruptly.

Jiang Bei took two steps forward before noticing her abnormality, and turned back strangely: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Qi closed his eyes and pricked up his ears as if listening carefully. Jiang Bei noticed that her small ears seemed to move.

It's actually a little cute.

"The sound of gunfire, the sound of firefight...... Well, it sounds like there might be a transcendent, about twenty to thirty kilometers from here. ”

Jiangbei was shocked: "So you're really a Kryptonite, right?" Can you hear this? ”
