The team leader is predetermined. Even if these people actually select someone, it won't make a difference. Even if he nominates someone, it won't work. What a pipe dream.
The tense atmosphere vanished instantly, as if nothing had happened.
"I am a descendant of the Shugendo lineage!" someone suddenly said, revealing his family background to increase his credibility. He mentioned a very ancient lineage, but it was of little use. Those lineages that are still around today were all once renowned and famous. Otherwise, how could they have survived for so long? Even if they fell apart during that time, if you trace their origins, they are all extraordinary.
"The Yin-Yang techniques I practice come from Lord Seimei," said an Onmyoji dressed in hunting robes and wearing a tall eboshi hat, but it was of little use, and not many people took it seriously.
Abe no Seimei is an indispensable figure in Japanese Onmyōdō (the Way of Yin and Yang), and there are more than one Onmyōji (masters of Yin and Yang), who are not necessarily related to Abe no Seimei.
“The true teachings of the Living Buddha are here,” a monk exclaimed.
The muscular man also shouted, "I am a descendant of the Great Tengu." He had long arms, a very high nose, and a fierce face. At first glance, he really did resemble the legendary Great Tengu. Kimura Yasutaku remembered his information and thought he was a relatively strong Extraordinary.
A group of people were making a lot of noise; they were all from the mysterious world, and their methods of fooling ordinary people were useless.
Seeing that her son was being ignored, she sighed softly, sensing that these people only saw power but not the price behind it, and said, "Are you done?"
Her words were soft, but they resounded like thunder in everyone's ears. In an instant, everyone fell silent and looked at Jianzi with surprise and uncertainty.
Achieving this effect is not difficult, but the problem is that they didn't notice any trace of it at all, it doesn't seem like magic.
"Adults, please don't cause trouble, little kids." A deep voice rang out; it belonged to the muscular man named Gui Tun Da Yue, who looked extremely impatient.
Seeing that she didn't even glance at him, she was the one who started this trend. Did these people think they had seized some kind of opportunity?
She continued calmly, "Now that you've all finished speaking, it's my turn to speak."
Gui Tun Daigaku realized he was being slighted, and his expression darkened. He stepped over the seats and walked towards Jianzi.
He was tall, with arms thicker than most people's thighs. You had to look up to talk to him, which was very inconvenient and created a strong sense of pressure.
But he was stopped.
Baihechuan Hua stood up. Her eyes were bright, and she had the youthful energy of a girl next door. She pointed to Jianzi with her thumb and said, "Jianzi has something to say. Could this old man wait a moment?"
Oni-Tono Daigetsu was bald, but his eyebrows were white. His brow twitched. He was originally thin, but after the great changes in the world, his bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, resulting in his current appearance. Family records stated that they had demon blood. In reality, he was only in his thirties or forties, so why was he called an old man?
"Get out of the way, you little brat!" Gui Tun Da Yue shouted from his high position. He had an extremely high nose bridge, his hands hanging down to his knees, his eyes like a hawk's, and his facial muscles were naturally distorted, making him look like a ferocious demon.
"No, you have to get past me first." Xiao Hua shook her head with a smile.
Oni-Tun Daigaku glanced down at Yuri-Kawaka and felt that she was just average-looking, otherwise she seemed like an ordinary person, which didn't surprise him.
The young man hadn't accumulated magical power over the years; there was no way he could be stronger than him.
Magical power is not a necessary condition for advancement to the extraordinary, but those who possess magical power are definitely stronger than those who do not.
Gui Tun Da Yue doesn't know any magic; his family doesn't pass it down. They only have mysterious knowledge about body refinement, but unfortunately, it's severely incomplete.
Judging by his physique alone, he could crush this girl's head like a walnut with just his pectoral muscles.
He raised his fist and waved it in front of Xiao Hua, arrogantly saying, "Have you ever seen a fist as big as a clay pot?"
Xiao Hua was amazed; it was truly the first time she had ever seen such a person, and he seemed like a giant.
The burly man said, "I can press you into the ground with just one hand."
Yurikawa laughed heartily, seemingly carefree. Just when Oni-Tonotake thought she had backed down, she suddenly said, "Hmm, I'm being underestimated. Well then, I'll use... this."
Xiao Hua stretched out her index finger and waved it in front of her, her smile innocent and childlike.
"I wonder if I could win by taking one of your hands?"
But Gui Tun Da Yue was immediately enraged, feeling that Bai He Chuan Hua was looking down on him. He used to be extremely thin and weak, unable to even kill a chicken. He had suffered severe bullying at school in his childhood and had no choice but to inherit the family business and painstakingly cultivate his magical power. His family had been like this for generations, all of them sickly.
But everything changed overnight. Years of cultivation had taken effect, his bloodline awakened, and his confidence and arrogance swelled to a certain point. He thought that if he threw a punch, even the world boxing champion would die instantly. But he wasn't crazy. He knew that his mortal body at this stage could not withstand firearms. The state apparatus was a violent institution, and unless it reached a certain point, who would dare to oppose it?
Therefore, I chose to join.
But now there are still people who dare to look down on him. And with this kind of attitude.
"Let me teach you how to talk to a strong person." He was panting heavily, his eyes were a little red, and he felt a violent power surging from his body. He slammed down with his palm, which was as big as a fan. Pure physical strength, if there was no protective power, could directly smash a person's head into their chest cavity.
Xiao Hua's smile remained unchanged, but her movements were swift. The index finger was close at hand, striking first despite being behind; she flicked her finger before being attacked.
Oni-Tun Dai-yue felt as if he had been hit by a truck... no, it should be said that he was hit by a train. A sudden pain shot through his abdomen, followed by an overwhelming force that he could not resist. He was sent flying backward involuntarily, his vision blurred and he had no idea what was happening. He felt as if he had hit something and then crashed to the ground.
His mind went blank, completely disoriented. He tried to stand up, but his body wouldn't cooperate. He forced his neck to look up and peered through the large, human-shaped hole in the white wall ahead, amidst the dust and debris, and could vaguely make out a pretty orange-haired girl standing inside.
She made a tiny gesture with her index finger and thumb and said, "Looks like I'm a little stronger!"
Gui Tun Da Yue's head slumped, and he fainted.
May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu. Chapter Sixty-Two: Now that I have finished speaking, who agrees? Who disagrees?
Deathly silence filled the entire government office.
What happened?
No one had even thought of it.
Most people noticed the conflict, and some were still lamenting for the girl with the pure smile, thinking that youthful impetuosity would surely lead to disaster.
But the result was so different from what they expected that it completely shocked them.
Without anyone seeing how he made the move, Oni-Tun-Dai-Yue suddenly took to the air, his body spinning like a top in mid-air, crashing through a wall dozens of meters away, and falling onto the lawn outside.
Everyone stared at Yurikawa Hana in horror.
"Looks like no one's bothering me."
Miko's voice suddenly rang out in the quiet setting; she was calm and natural, and her words were peaceful.
She looked around.
"I want to apply to be the team leader. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
Everyone fell silent.
"So everyone agrees, right?" Seeing that Miko didn't seem to care, she looked up at Kimura Yasutaka and said, "Governor, what do you think?"
After a long pause, Kimura Yasutaka replied, "I can nominate someone for you."
"We must do our best." Miko's golden eyes were fixed on Kimura Yasutaka as she spoke in a deep voice.
“Consul, you know what I’m talking about.”
She knew Kimura Yasutaku's plans and that the group leader's position was special, but if she didn't do her best, the Human Alliance would never allow a modern person to become the group leader, because there was no way to keep order.
Only with the full guarantee of the ruling official is there even a sliver of a possibility.
When Kimura Yasutaka faced those warm and bright golden eyes, he immediately felt as if he had been seen through, as if he had nothing to hide. His scalp tingled, but he was calm and composed. Although he felt uneasy inside, he remained calm on the surface.
Because he had a clear conscience, and his guilt was purely instinctive, he turned and asked, "Is this Miss Yurikawa a true psychic?"
"Yes." Seeing that Zi nodded, there was no need to hide it.
"That's amazing..." Kimura Yasutaku exclaimed in praise.
"It's nothing," Xiao Hua said shyly in the face of praise, which was quite deceptive.
But seeing the child's deep gaze fixed on him, a gaze so intense it was almost tangible, made him uncomfortable. Kimura Yasutaka had personally visited the Human Union headquarters and interacted with many psychics, even bringing back two psychics from there, but no one could exert such intense pressure on him.
In a daze, he even had the illusion that he had seen Xinyang again.
Kimura Yasutaka felt a chill run down his spine. He had seen Yotsuya Miko's resume; her high school girl persona was impeccable. That was why he couldn't imagine why such a person would exist.
Logically, qualified people should be socially isolated due to differences in self-awareness and social common sense. However, this is not the case with Miko Yotsuya. They conducted a private investigation and found that Miko Yotsuya had an excellent reputation. Neither her teachers nor her classmates had any ill feelings towards her, and her personality was practically perfect.
The only negative feedback came from her brother, who complained that his sister was too violent. This is understandable; siblings are often sworn enemies, so their bickering is nothing unusual.
But now, the truth tells him that Yotsuya Miko is an extremely good at hiding her true self; she has a side that no one knows about, just like a playboy by day who becomes Batman by night.
If it weren't for her consistent and unchanging personality, he would have thought that Jianzi was a reincarnation of a supernatural being.
“It seems that Ms. Yotsuya is no ordinary psychic,” Kimura Yasutaka said. The Human Alliance’s judgment was wrong; these two had already become psychics long ago.
But this is not the fault of the intelligence personnel. They identified Takeda Mie as a shaman, but they didn't expect that there would be three shamans in this lineage. They need to investigate the origin of this lineage. Could it really be some kind of hidden lineage?
He remembered that Takeda Saegusa had a senior disciple named Rom, who had also invited him to come, but was rejected by that cynical young man. After sending Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana to Tokyo, that man disappeared.
Looking back now, that person was truly unfathomable.
Yuriko said with a smile, "Kiko is even stronger than me." She didn't hold back her evaluation of Kiko. After her advancement, her will to live was also strengthened. It was a primal instinct that constantly tempted her to return to her true self and release the gradually expanding desires deep within her heart.
This stems from the inherent weaknesses of all life: reproduction, the pursuit of truth, and survival. These three desires constitute the cornerstone of the will to live and are also the laws governing the movement of all things in the world.
But whenever she sees Jianzi, her heart calms down, all her thoughts seem to be cleansed, and she becomes detached from worldly strife.
“Xiao Hua…” Seeing that Zi was a little annoyed, Xiao Hua was at the same level as her. She had estimated that if Xiao Hua wanted to kill her, the time it would take depended entirely on how far apart the two were. The power of a mind reader could not restrain a berserk Vajra, and even the mental influence was negligible.
Although both are Sequence 8, the difference in combat power between the two systems is too outrageous. She is as powerless as a newborn kitten in front of Xiao Hua.
But the latter doesn't think so. Yurikawa Hana is simple and honest. Even though she is stronger than Miko, she still thinks Miko is amazing. She can influence many people with just words, while all she knows is how to throw punches.
Upon hearing this, Kimura Yasutaka's expression became even more serious; he didn't believe Yurikawa was lying.
“Ms. Yotsuya, although I don’t know how you know these inside stories, I must say that if I were to fully recommend you, headquarters might think I’m neglecting my duties…” Kimura Yasutaka said after a moment of contemplation.
The Human Union is a relatively new organization and has not yet established itself firmly; its power still derives from individual countries.
He has the authority to mobilize all of Japan's Self-Defense Forces because Japan has no regular army, and other countries' leaders also have this right, even those from the country across the ocean. In other words, if a few leaders reach an agreement, World War III could be triggered at any time.
This also puts immense pressure on world leaders—the United Nations used to be at best a table for powerful nations to negotiate, but the United Nations has become a transcendent force that rises above powerful nations.
This is tantamount to them releasing a beast that could destroy them; everyone must be on edge and constantly on guard.
So Kimura Yasutaka can make any decision he wants, but he definitely can't overstep his bounds, otherwise he might offend someone and they'll just remove him and replace him with someone else.
He has great ambitions and now stands at the top. He once swore to be loyal to all mankind. He really doesn't dare to gamble with his future, fearing that he might perish halfway through his journey. Isn't he even more miserable than Liu Bei?
“I know!” Miko stared intently at Kimura Yasutaka. She wasn’t Kuroko, so she didn’t exert any mental influence on the governor.
Because she believed that Yasutaka Kimura would make the right choice.
This is not the place to talk.
After a moment's thought, Kimura Yasutaka announced the meeting was adjourned, disrupting the original recruitment plan, just as two sharks suddenly jumped out of the pond.
This unsettled the minds of those extraordinary individuals, and many joined the Mysterious Group without even mentioning the conditions.
Why stay in the system when you can benefit from the support of a powerful figure? Why not just work for the government?
There was a second reason: they were frightened.
