As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

This is a very complex country. If the supreme deity of that ancient civilization wants to do something, he has to consider the attitude of the local powerful figures.

In short, it feels very safe to set up the Human Union there; otherwise, if it were placed elsewhere, it might be hit by a meteorite falling from the sky.

However, progress at the Japanese branch was slow, and it took them a long time to finally find an Extraordinary.

But this should be kept secret from the average person.

Yasutaka Kimura admitted that he had contacted several extraordinary individuals in advance to act as decoys, in order to get everyone trapped here and sign indentures.

However, Yotsuya Miko is definitely not among them. The reason is simple: she is too young, lacks credibility, and is prone to revealing flaws.

So here's the problem.

How did she find out about the Mysterious Group?

Yotsuya Miko was sitting quietly in her seat, listening to the lecture.

She remained calm and detached from worldly affairs. As a Sequence 8 spiritual master, everything proceeded according to plan.

Until another version of myself spoke up.

Seeing his son cover his face, he sighed deeply.

The die is cast, and there's no turning back. Even if we can use the power of a mentalist to make them ignore what Kuroko says, Kuroko will continue to cause trouble.

As she spent more time with her, she began to understand Kuroko's personality; they were the complete opposite.

Driven by profit, wicked and tyrannical, they stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

She actually wanted to achieve her goal in a more secure way, rather than by making a scene like this.

However, Kuromiko's interference with the outside world has become stronger, and she can no longer stop her other self from acting recklessly. She also knows that Kuromiko is forcing her to make a decision.

She simply stood up, pretending that she had said those words herself, so as not to be mistaken for someone with a mental illness—although it was true, she didn't want to admit it.

Miko Yotsuya said to the astonished Yasutaka Kimura, "I now understand why the Human Alliance brought us together, and I'm sure the others can guess it to some extent as well."

"The Mysterious Group is the spear and shield of the Human Alliance, an indispensable force for the future..." Miko pursed her lips, recalling what Tendo Kagura had once said: "One must rely on oneself." She continued, "Therefore, I am willing to join the Human Alliance."

She has a serene and otherworldly appearance, bright eyes like little suns with a gentle glow, and even her speech has a calm and serene charm.

But Kimura Yasutaka didn't expect her to steal the spotlight; this was what he was supposed to say next, but Yotsuya Miko stole the show.

He paused for two seconds, his rhythm disrupted, but he wasn't completely at a loss. It was just that he hadn't even mentioned the benefits yet, and this was too hasty.

"Welcome to the team," Kimura Yasutaka nodded.

"Then I'll join too," said Yurikawa Hana, raising her hand with a grin.

"You're welcome then." Kimura Yasutaka was a little confused. Didn't these two girls ask about the price or their demands? It was like a game.

"Hey, you two, shut up!" Someone couldn't stand it anymore. They were waiting to sell their wares, but were interrupted by two naive girls. They immediately shouted at Jianzi and Xiaohua.

Aside from a small minority, most extraordinary individuals lead rather miserable lives. They inherit ancient traditions because of their qualifications, but due to their environment, these traditions are essentially useless.

In the past, they made a living by reading people's faces and bones on the roadside. Otherwise, they would have no food to eat. Even so, they often went hungry. Their income was unstable. In addition, they had to cultivate magical power that they could not use to perform supernatural abilities. Otherwise, their already fragmented lineage might be broken.

Although this was a terrible time for ordinary people, for them, the return of the times meant that their status, which had been rising for half their lives, immediately soared.

A true man waits for the right time to act; he must at least sell himself for a good price.

But now, unexpected complications have arisen. Some people are maliciously suppressing prices and forcing people to work harder, creating a competitive environment that has drawn the ire of many.

Miko sighed softly, and then she heard Miko's voice transmission in her ear:

'Useless! If you can't do it, let me do it.'

Seeing that Zi ignored her and instead glanced at the person who was yelling at her, her gaze seemed to contain a tangible power, which immediately made him quiet down.

She looked up and said, "I have only one condition: I want to become the leader of the Mysterious Group!"

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Sixty: The Only Choice

Miko Yotsuya is not usually assertive, but at this moment she was sharp, her eyes were bright, and her demeanor was extraordinary.

She immediately offered to be the group leader, which left the extraordinary individuals somewhat bewildered, but Kimura Yasutaka frowned.

This intelligence is highly classified; not only ordinary people, but even political elites would not be able to obtain the relevant information without censorship.

How was this information leaked?

His mind was racing with thoughts, but secrets can't stay hidden forever. These extraordinary individuals possess magical powers, and now that they are in the world, they have the means to use their magic. Moreover, the Human Alliance is attracting a lot of attention internationally, so it's not unreasonable for someone to know these secrets.

Kimura Yasutaka said in a deep voice, "The position of team leader is very important and requires careful consideration." He did not have the right to elect the team leader; at most, he could only nominate one, and the decision would be made by the Grand Administrator of Headquarters.

According to the human alliance system, the leader of the Mystic Group is nominally equal in status to the Governor, belonging to the real power class on the mystic side.

However, the governors are rotated regularly, which tests individual abilities, and there are a lot of backup candidates. If someone is not up to par, they will be replaced. The main purpose is to ensure that the general direction remains unchanged. Kimura Yasutaka had no background or connections, but after a rigorous review, the Human Union ultimately chose him as the governor of Japan.

There was no other reason than to appoint the virtuous and capable.

Times have changed. Whoever dares to put a brainless person in power, then let him be brainless too.

The leader of the Mysterious Group is different. Once appointed, it is difficult to remove the position. Therefore, the selection of the leader is of paramount importance. The leader is mainly responsible for restraining future psychics, conducting diplomacy with the spirit world, and communicating with the gods.

The dual system complements each other; this is a principle established after repeated deliberation.

According to the human side, the leaders of each country should be supernatural beings.

Because these people were the ancestors of humankind, and in the distant past, they secured enough living space for humankind.

They're back now. Although they're still lying low, some have already begun to show their faces. Those who are both human and divine are secretly observing contemporary society. Undoubtedly, they will reappear, and in terms of power and status, they should stand at the highest level.

The Mysterious Group is still in its infancy, and everything is uncertain. It hasn't been properly integrated yet, and it's unclear whether it's suitable for the future environment. After all, this is the first time in history that humanity has encountered mysterious forces. How disruptive will this encounter be to the current regime? Nobody can say for sure. That's why we need psychics and supernatural beings to stand by and ensure that humanity can navigate safely through the great waves to come.

This is a compromise between modern technology and the mysterious forces of the past; otherwise, the world would certainly be in chaos.

"The position of team leader is currently vacant, isn't it?" Jianzi said calmly.

Kimura Yasutaka originally didn't intend to give a direct answer. No matter how charming Yotsuya Miko was, in his eyes she was just an underage girl. If her master, Takeda Saegusa, had come in person and asked to be the group leader, he said he might have considered it for a moment and then politely declined.

But when he heard Yotsuya Miko's calm words, he inexplicably began to take her seriously, feeling that she was serious. This girl must have done a thorough investigation, otherwise she wouldn't be so confident. It was a pity that the position of team leader had already been decided internally.

He said, "There's no suitable candidate..."

“I am the candidate, the only candidate!” Jianzi said directly.

She saw that Kimura Yasutaka's face was tense, as if he had been quite offended by her words.

As a mind reader, Miko Yotsuya is able to detect fluctuations in human thought patterns and gain insight into many things.

For example, members of the mysterious group have privileges but no power; in other words, they are just thugs.

Of course, this varies from person to person, but the highest rank is only double-flower red stick. Although they can receive corresponding material benefits and their words carry weight, they are unlikely to interfere in internal affairs. Otherwise, if the powerful are allowed to do whatever they want, trouble will definitely arise in the future.

But this is not what she wanted.

In this respect, she and Kuroko share the same view, except that the latter uses more drastic methods, intending to create some chaos to demonstrate her skills and thus rise to power.

When people focus their attention on a spiritual healer, that's when they are most easily influenced.

She was certain that if she didn't stop her, Kuroko would most likely hypnotize everyone here, plant psychological suggestions, and then use this governor as a stepping stone to enter the human alliance, ultimately standing above all humans and establishing herself as king.

This vision for the future is undoubtedly very promising, but Jianzi remains calm and rational.

While spiritual healers may indeed dominate and be invincible in human society, this does not mean they are unbeatable.

She had long noticed the presence of extraordinary individuals behind Kimura Yasutaku. Those negotiation teams came from headquarters, and some of them, like the High Priest Shimizu, had directly advanced to become psychics after the great changes in the world. Their mysterious backgrounds were completely different from those of these rogue cultivators. They were probably there to protect this governor.

However, this level of power wouldn't stop her. But Jianzi had heard that humans possessed some kind of ancient artifact, left behind by great supernatural beings of the past, containing mysterious and unpredictable power. She wasn't so stubborn as to use her head to crack walnuts.

"Governor, what do you think?" Seeing that Zi's voice was peaceful, the spiritual power of a spiritual master could generate different temperaments and images based on each person's personality traits, and she had a strong affinity, calm and gentle, which made people take notice and felt like a spring breeze.

Even without using her mental powers, this trait alone allows her to find out embarrassing stories about strangers, like how many times they wet the bed as children, just by having a meal with them.

Miko had sensed Kuromiko's spiritual qualities, which were evil, arrogant, and instilled fear in people involuntarily.

Kimura Yasutaka is resolute and doesn't act on emotion. Although he has a slightly different opinion of Miko, he wouldn't go so far as to bow down to her.

He fell silent for a moment. He had considered that these extraordinary individuals might try to raise prices, so his bottom line was very low and he could offer extremely high compensation. But he never expected that someone would actually set their sights on the team leader.

The mysterious group and the group leader are two different concepts. The former is like a soldier, who is used to charge into battle, while the latter is like a general, who has decision-making power, and being able to fight is the primary criterion.

The group of people in front of him only had the opportunity to become psychics, and he could win them over, but he couldn't promise them everything. He was looking for obedient subordinates, not bosses, otherwise he wouldn't be able to work in the future.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, someone interrupted. After listening for a while, they realized something was wrong. They were still thinking about how to get benefits, but it seemed that someone was going to become their future leader and boss.

"If this is how you become a group leader, then I want to apply to be a group leader too." But Jianzi opened the door to a new world for them.

Although I don't know the specific benefits of being a group leader, who doesn't love power? The psychics that the Human Alliance found were definitely not the only ones, but only they came.

Count me in.

"Me too, me too."

Seeing the chaotic scene, Kimura Yasutaka's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, and he said, "This is not something that cannot be discussed. I can apply to headquarters, but there can only be one spot."

All gods, swiftly come to my aid! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu! Chapter Sixty-One: It seems I am slightly stronger.

What do you mean?

Most people were tempted, but upon hearing this, they calmed down.

Kimura Yasutaka has the means and the ability, otherwise he wouldn't be in this position. He continued, "Everyone here is a highly skilled person from various places, and they all have the qualifications and talents. However, the position of group leader is very important, so I hope that you can elect a suitable candidate. I can then nominate someone."

The group looked at each other, realizing that nomination was possible. Although they were all from the mysterious world, they were scattered across various places and did not cluster together. Because they could not use magic in the past, they were extremely vulnerable when facing spirit creatures, and they had only vaguely heard about their counterparts in other places.

However, the voting system also has loopholes and cannot convince the public.

So this is supporting them to fight? And choosing the tallest one?

The hall fell silent. Some people clutched talismans tightly in their sleeves, some chanted mysterious scriptures and secretly mobilized their magic, and a very inconspicuous person suddenly disappeared at the edge, using magic to make himself invisible, intending to take advantage of the chaos.

Among them, the most conspicuous was a man with bulging muscles all over his body. His clothes were open, and his limbs were extremely developed. He could stand up to a person with his fists and run like a horse with his arms. He was two meters tall, bald with white eyebrows, and his face was like that of a demon. No one knew what method he used, but when he took a deep breath, his body swelled up. His aura was fierce, which made many people nearby change color and silently put their distance away.

Like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities, all it takes is Kimura Yasutaka to give an order, and they can fight to the death, with the last one standing becoming the group leader.

There's nothing shameful about it. Having mastered both literary and martial arts, one can serve the emperor. Having been frustrated and unsuccessful in the past, how can one remain subservient to others for long?

But Kimura Yasutaku really didn't mean that. This was a job fair, not a fighting arena. There were no slackers among these people; they were the main fighting force for the future. If they were killed or injured, it would be the human alliance that would suffer the loss.

“You’ve all misunderstood. You all possess unique skills and have different methods of expertise. Why not use reason to persuade others? The one who gets the most approval will be nominated as the group leader,” said Kimura Yasutaka.

They already had records of these people and knew their backgrounds perfectly well; they simply planned to find a reason to get rid of them.
