Terra's Magnetic Field

"Ah?..." Saria looked up in astonishment, the blood oozing from her internal organs flowing upwards and flowing out of her nostrils and the corners of her mouth.

Saria saw that the woman's right hand was stained blood red, and she was holding a small piece of her intestine in her hand. Her eyes were really cold.

Agor woman: "Little friend, it's your fault for making me upset. You really shouldn't have mentioned my friend's matter again and again. If you know who I am, you will understand that what I am doing now is very gentle. If you do it again, I will kill you!"

Agor woman: "I don't have any friends, and I won't have any in the future! Never again! It's not that I can't make friends, but I don't need them!"

The Agor woman put the broken heart in her hand on the right corner of Saria, then bent down to pick up the cans scattered on the ground one by one. Saria's vision began to blur.

"And...my name is Skadi..."

Saria vaguely heard the voice of the Agor woman. She collapsed to the ground and only vaguely saw a blurry figure disappear from her sight...

Saria fainted on the cold street, holding her stomach. This was the most miserable experience in her memory. It hurt so much that she couldn't even cry out, not even call out "Master".

In the past, both her peers and elders would give in to her, but this time, Skadi defeated her without any hesitation. Oh... the last time was the same...

That’s all for today.

Chapter 424: Secret Talk

After wandering around the street for a while, Skadi returned to her little nest in the sewer.

Although Rhodes Island also assigned her a single-family house with high-level elite operators as her home, she still felt comfortable in this place because she hated socializing and didn't like being disturbed.

She was drinking a can of drink alone in this deserted place, thinking about what happened between her and Wuming before. That incident was always burning in her heart, making her anxious.

The only light source in this place is the light bulb hanging on the four-meter-high rooftop. The electricity is connected from a wire on the side. Kal'tsit naturally wouldn't ask any questions about this freeloading behavior.

"Didn't you go too far just now?" A male voice came from somewhere, and then a black-haired young man named Rupert walked out from the shadows. This was Knife who had just left Jason's ward.

"Have you been watching?" Skadi crushed the drink can in her hand, and the loud explosion disappeared at the end of the sewer.

Skadi: "I hate it most when someone is watching me!"

Knife looked at Skadi's little nest, stretched out his hand to fan his nose, and said with disdain: "Your place is still as smelly as ever. Do you like this rotten place so much? Did you dig these sofas out of the garbage dump? They are all torn...tsk tsk!"

Skadi: "Want to fight? I heard you fought with that nameless guy?"

Seeing the murderous intent on Skadi's face, Knife waved his hands repeatedly and pretended to be embarrassed, "No, no, no... I was just beaten by him, how can it be called a fight? I naturally dare not offend you..."

Skadi stared at Knife. "Why are you so cunning when you are so strong? You always act stupid. What do you want to do?"

Somehow, Skadi felt that Knife had a temperament similar to Wan, and that temperament made her sick.

Knife: "I'm only here to inform you about the leadership battle."

"What?!" Skadi stood up from the sofa with a somersault. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this is no trivial matter.

Knife: "Haha, it seems Kal'tsit didn't come to inform you. That's right, she is busy trying to make Amiya win. How can she have the time to report to you?"

Skadi: "I always feel like you're looking down on me. Do you mean I'm not important to her now?"

Knife put on an awkward look and said aggrievedly: "Didi, how could I look down on you? If I really looked down on you, why would I come to you in person? Although you are a valuable tool for Kal'tsit,

But I believe she won’t come to you for a while.”

Knife's cunning is different from Wan's, it is more secretive and restrained, but also more deadly. His weakness is actually a sign of disdain.

Skadi: "Nonsense!... Then what is this leadership battle?"

Knife briefly told Skadi what had happened in the conference room before. Of course, some of the content had been modified by him subjectively.

Knife: "Wuming's rebellious attitude led to the birth of this ridiculous match, but it also gave you an opportunity."

Skadi: “Oh?”

Knife: "Haven't you always wanted to compete with him? This is a great opportunity!"

Skadi rushed to Knife in an instant, and rubbed his head against the wall behind the sofa with one hand. She asked this guy harshly:

"You want me to be your knife? Do you think I'm stupid? I can see through Wan's tricks, but I can't see through you? You want me to help you deal with Wuming, right?!"

Knife's sharp laughter came from the hole in the wall, as if Skadi's threat was meaningless to him. He said in the tone of talking to an old friend:

"Your temper is much more explosive than Wuming's. Even he doesn't dare to do this to me. Didi, do you know what you are doing? You are irritating me, irritating someone who is probably much stronger than you."

"Now, listen to your uncle and let go..."

Knife's words calmed Skadi down. The hand that Skadi used to hold Knife's head was still stained with Saria's blood. The half-dried blood was sticky on the hair behind Knife's head.

Finally, Skadi withdrew her hand and let Knife stand in front of her to talk face to face.

The knife hit his face stained with wall dust, and cement fragments fell from his hair, but he was unharmed and still had that irritating smile on his face.

Knife: "Didi, didn't your parents teach you to be polite when someone talks to you nicely? Did I offend you just now?"

Skadi: "Stop talking bullshit! Tell me what you're going to do!"

Knife: "Tsk tsk! You really have no patience and sentimentality, little girl..."

Knife put his right hand on his chin, and his low voice reached Skadi's ears. Of course, these conversations were encrypted by his power, so no one else could hear anything.

Knife: "Now Kal'tsit and Wanbao both want the obedient Amiya to be the leader, and Nian and Ling have their own plans, and other forces have also taken action. I can't participate in the competition directly. If something unexpected happens during the competition, the consequences may be very serious..."

Skadi: "You don't want Amiya to be the leader?"

Knife: "Why do you ask?"

Skadi: "It seems I guessed right."

Knife pointed at Skadi: "You...although you look impatient, you are actually very smart."

Knife: "Amiya is not cut out to be a leader. If she leads Rhodes Island now, the situation will only get worse. She might even get killed."

Skadi: "Is the situation really that serious? From what you said, it seems that everyone wants this Rhodes Island now."

Knife: "This involves a series of complicated historical reasons, which I cannot explain in a short time. In short, the value of Rhodes Island is far beyond your imagination."

Knife: "We have the same goal. I need someone to help me interfere with Wuming, and you want to compete with Wuming in an open and aboveboard manner. Originally, you were not allowed to participate in the competition, but I can use my authority to allow you to obtain the qualification to participate. This condition is not bad for you, right?"

Skadi: "There's no benefit. I can fight Wuming anytime I want. I don't need your consent!"

Skadi: "But I still want to participate in this competition, because there are not many opportunities to make that guy embarrassed in formal occasions!"

Just like that, Knife got a second partner. What was he planning? If he didn't let Amiya be the leader, who would he let take the position?

In the final analysis, which side does Knife lean towards? Or does he have his own "ambitions"?

(Fang: My name is Wan, too)

(Shang Benying Wan made the statement to replace Wan Bao after he defeated him)

That’s all for today.

Postscript: I want to make this leadership battle into a long-season survival competition mode, that is, putting a bunch of people in a place with all kinds of environments to compete for life and death. Those who have watched JOJO may understand that it is like the SBR competition in the horse race.

I also like this kind of road movie-style adventure story, which allows the characters to grow through describing various adventures.

If this is really the SBR competition, the relationship between Didi and Knife would be a bit like Diego and the President... Fast forward to the Kazdel shooting.

Knife is not a pure righteous or villain character. His behavior will change with his position, and he may switch to another camp later. His existence (in the drama arrangement) is like a weight on a scale. When one side is too weak compared to the other, he will support the weaker side and prevent it from being completely destroyed. Similarly, when one side is too strong, he will weaken it, because a one-sided situation is boring.

Chapter 25 Power

"That... mother... father... what is the nature of the rotation of the magnetic field?"

Young Wan Shi asked Wan Bai about her daughter's body. Wan Shi herself didn't know how to address the "woman" in front of her. She only knew that the woman who gave birth to her became like this because she made an unforgivable mistake. This woman was originally a man...

Wan Shi has been receiving Wan's training since she was five years old. Now at the age of eight, she can exert the force of 30,000 horses, which was enough to qualify her for the position of a sergeant in Yan Country at that time.

Wan loves this gifted granddaughter very much, and the lonely emperor sees the shadow of his deceased daughter in her granddaughter. In Wan's view, Wanshi is another continuation of Wanqian's life, and she devotes her love for Wanqian and Wanbai to Wanshi.

But Wanbai's feelings for Wanshi are very subtle, because this daughter is in a sense proof of her shame, but she also loves her own flesh and blood.

After hearing his daughter's question, Wan Bai answered:

"An absolute force of extreme ego."

Manju opened his bright eyes and murmured, "Extreme self? ...Absolute power."

Wan Bai walked forward a few steps with her hands behind her back, looking at the royal courtyard in front of her, and further ahead was the stone statue commemorating her deceased sister Wan Qian. She came here to pay her respects every three months, and this time she brought her daughter to see her aunt whom she had never "met".

Wan Bai: "Shi'er, the difference between people with magnetic field power and ordinary people is the difference between ordinary people and amoeba. The reason why humans can become the overlords of Terra is not just because of the strength of their hands and feet, but more because of their wisdom."

Wan Baiyi gave examples one by one: "For example, making tools, building houses and cities, and understanding the source and principle of energy. These wisdoms accumulated step by step with civilization will eventually push us to the highest point."

Wan Bai: "Even if there is magnetic field power, not everyone with the strongest power can dominate Terra. Even if you have power, you have to know how to use it. If you only have the strongest power but your mind is not strong enough to drive it... then it will bring a major disaster to yourself and even the entire Terra..."

Manju: “Oh…”

Wan Shi's response was listless. From childhood to adulthood, in her impression, Wan Bai was a boring person. Most of what Wan Bai said was obscure and difficult to understand, and was full of various professional terms.

If she asked her grandmother, "What is magnetic field rotation?", her grandmother would readily tell her, "It is something that helps us dominate the earth and trample on everything!"

Wan Shi didn't understand words like "amoeba", "energy", "principle" and so on. Wan Bai was more like talking to himself than communicating with his daughter.

Manju: "So... the rotation of the magnetic field is what gives the amoeba human powers?"

"Ah?..." Wan Bai looked at Wan Shi woodenly after hearing this. It seemed that Wan Shi's opinion was outrageous to her. How did this little guy understand her words like this?

Wan Bai: "No, Shi'er, did you really listen to me?..."

Wan Bai walked another seven or eight steps, and she led Wan Shi through the gate at the end of the courtyard. Going deeper into the courtyard was where thousands of stone statues were located.

Wan Bai: "If amoebas were given human power, the consequences would be disastrous. Amoebas without intelligence would not build houses or create technology. They would only devour the nutrients around them to grow stronger... Similarly, if the person who gained power did not have the mind to control it, he would only become a monster that keeps expanding."

Manju: “Ah…I see. I think I understand…”

Wan Shi still didn't understand what Wan Bai said, but she didn't care anymore. She stopped talking and just wanted to end this boring topic.

The two people, one big and one small, were silent for more than ten minutes. They walked side by side quietly. They could obviously touch each other with just a stretch of their hands, but their hearts were far apart.

Along the way, Wanshi kept kicking pebbles on the roadside for fun. Although Wanbai felt that this was incomprehensible, she still acquiesced to her daughter's behavior. After all, she was just a child.

Wan Bai loves her daughter, but she doesn't know how to express her love. After her daughter asked the question, Wan Bai immediately gave her the best solution, but she was too forceful and made her daughter feel bored.

What she can give to her daughter, her mother can give better.

So in the end, Wan Bai could only choose to remain silent and let the relationship between him and his daughter remain deadlocked. At least it wouldn't get worse.

"We're here," Wan Bai stopped, and a few snowflakes fell on her black and gray dragon horns with the cold wind. She had not yet cultivated the power of heavenly punishment, and the horns that symbolized power had not yet turned golden.

When she looked up, she saw a nearly ten-meter-tall statue standing in the snow. The woman carved into the stone statue looked a bit like her grandmother and mother (father)... She knew at first sight that it was her late aunt.

Wan never mentioned the cause of Wan Qian's death to Wan Shi. She only told the child that it was an accident.

But Wan Ju had already guessed that her aunt's death was related to her mother. Although the elders were reluctant to mention this, she was not a fool and it was impossible for her to be a child forever.

On this cloudy day when the snow is getting heavier, Wanshi asked Wanbai in front of the thousands of stone statues:

"Mother, did you kill my aunt?"

"Um..." Wan Bai looked at her daughter in astonishment. Her wide eyes flashed with shock, fear and

Fear, sadness, anger and other emotions. She never expected that her young daughter would ask such questions in this place, in front of the stone statue of her dead sister!

How should she respond? Should she lie here? Or should she just admit her guilt.

Wan Bai also looked at the thousands of stone statues, looking at that quiet face.

The snow is falling harder.

Finally, in this snowstorm, Wan Bai answered his daughter:

"Yes, you guessed it right... I was the one who killed your aunt, I killed my own sister... This is why I have become like this now..."

Manju: "Then why?"

Wan Bai: “………………………………………………”

Silence, silence again.

"well!--------------"

After a short silence, thousands of long sighs penetrated the sound of wind and snow. She suppressed her emotions and said:

"For your mother, I really loved her, I was obsessed."

Manju: "So do you hate her now? You killed your sister for her."

Wan Bai fell silent again after hearing this. Her daughter's simple questions tortured her soul. This child always asked questions that made her uncomfortable.
