Superpower manga artist Kobayashi Narumi

Unexpected source of intelligence.

The wedding was scheduled for next Saturday. Before that, Lin Chengshi made another trip to Shenen Continent.

In the dream, Salem experienced a complete wave festival.

The Wave Festival is a traditional festival of the Yuren Kingdom. It starts on July 7th every year and lasts for 15 days. It is the largest event in the Yuren Kingdom.

Late July happens to be the most comfortable season in this country.The temperature is warm, the sunshine is long, the sea is calm, and the fish are abundant.

Therefore, during these 15 days, except for some important positions, the people of Yuren Kingdom will get a full 15 days off to celebrate the festive season together.

During the festival, all royal families will open their own private waters for the public to play.

Every beach is overcrowded with people sunbathing, building sand castles and collecting shells.There are also celebrations with different themes in the evening.Food stalls and bars along the coast are open almost all night.

Of course, the highlight of the Wave Festival is a 15-day sports meeting.

That's right, throughout the Spray Festival, there are various and colorful competitive competitions, and all people can sign up to participate.Competitive events are mostly related to the ocean, including swimming, fishing, beach volleyball, sailing, surfing, diving and so on.

The reason why some projects are very modern, Lin Chengshi can only tell you with guilt, he really didn't care much when designing these.Who knew readers would actually see the festival?

Sellen doesn't feel like these games have anything to do with him.He eats and drinks steadily every day, like a leisurely tourist.

"Salen, I want to participate in the swimming competition too!" Meddy was very interested in these "competitions" that she had never seen before.

Salem said tactfully: "Before the competition, should we train in advance?"

In the swimming pool provided by the princess, Meddy jumped into the water with a "plop".Then, like a shot put, it never floated again.

"Meddy—" Siren read on the shore.

In the end, Elena held back her smile and jumped into the pool.The golden fish tail replaced her feet, reflecting magnificent light and shadow in the water waves.The fish tail is not only beautiful, but also full of strength.After slapping the water lightly a few times, the princess was sent in the direction of Meddy by the water waves.

Elena put her arms around Meddy's neck and fished her up.

"Bah, bah, bah." Meddy spit out a mouthful of water as she lay on the shore.

Salem crossed her arms and shook her head regretfully: "Meddy, you are not suitable for this sport."

But Meddy was not discouraged.

The more frustrated she became, the more courageous she became, and she focused on another project—beach volleyball.

Beach volleyball is a sport where two people team up to participate, and Metty must drag Seren to compete together.

Under the scorching sun, Salem felt a little hopeless: "Actually, you can invite other people to form a team."

Why make things difficult for him, a weak and pure human being.

To drive the ducks to the shelves, Lin Chengshi racked his brains to recall the exercises in physical education class, and served a ball lightly with his hands.

Then seeing the tall and burly player on the opposite side, he came over with a strong smash.

Salem didn't even have the will to connect with the ball. Facing the menacing ball, he took a quick step...dodging the murderous smash.

Sure enough, the game eventually developed from 2V2 to 2V1.

When the opponent had already discovered this weakness of Salem and started to serve him frantically, Salem walked out of the court silently, not to affect Meddy's performance.

The most outrageous thing is that Meddy actually won this game.

As the winners of this small entertainment competition, Seren and Metty were also rewarded with small medals made of seashells.

This is probably the lowest gold content of this medal.

Another thing that surprised Seren was that the shadow prince also participated in the diving competition.

The rules of the diving competition are very simple. The organizer first places a shell at a specified position underwater, and then each player dives to get the shell.The player with the shortest time wins.

And Shadow used his magic to cheat.

One of his abilities is the ability to enter his own shadow, no matter where the shadow is cast.You know, when a person swims on the surface of the water, his shadow is reflected on the bottom of the water.Therefore, the shadow can instantly teleport to the location of the shell, and slowly float up after getting the shell, which is much faster than the person who needs to dive.

However, he was quickly defeated by the shark race who were born to move freely in the sea.

For orcs who are born with magic power, using their own magic power is not cheating.Even Princess Elena turned into a mermaid and won several swimming championships.

The Wave Festival is indeed a soothing festival. When Lin Chengshi woke up, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In Shenen Continent, he felt so relaxed after a long time.

Turning on the computer, Lin Chengshi saw that the story of the Wave Festival had been reduced to a side story.

Many comics will make a small transition before starting the next big plot.Readers are no strangers to this extravaganza.

Many readers laughed and said that it seems that Mr. Xiaolin's previous explosion really hurt his liver, and he needs to rest and recuperate.

【That's it?It's too short. 】

[Mr. Xiaolin, don't be polite to us!I deliberately worked to save money! 】

[Forgive Mr. Xiao Lin, let him be lazy for a while. 】

The light-hearted little episode is quite pleasing. Seeing Meddy's swimming "talent", the barrage is very happy.

[The episode is pretty good]

[really hilarious]

【Bear can not be dissolved in water】

[Damn it, it should be a bathing suit benefit, why is the heroine wearing a one-piece style]

[Old thief Xiaolin has always been like this, selling meat is not as good as selling rot]

When the heroine sank to the bottom of the water, the hero had no intention of saving people at all, even the exclamation was so perfunctory.

The barrage rants wildly.

【What a distracting call】

【Good crumbs, really good crumbs】

【The black mud is about to leak out】

【I'm too lazy to act】

In the end, it was Princess Alina who saved Metty.

This sentence is also the first time that the princess has turned into a shark in the comics.

The hair fluttering in the water, and the gorgeous fish tail shining with luster, look like the little mermaid in fairy tales.

【Ah, it's a real mermaid princess】

[Finally saw the princess's merman form! 】

[Is the tail gold or silver?I really hate that it's not a color manga! 】

The screen progresses to the beach volleyball part.

[Grass, Mr. Kobayashi wants to draw sports comics and has gone crazy]

【Did the author just watch volleyball...】

[What kind of comic is this, hahaha! 】

Before the start of the game, Seren and Metty still had the same positions.

The screen showed several handsome shots of Salem, holding a volleyball with a serious and calm face.Before serving, he turned the sand in his hand.

[Turn the sand, you will be a boss at a glance]

[Grass, could it be that Salem is very good at sand rowing]

【Kageyama is that you】

Then turn to the next page, it is Seren's underhand serve, which almost missed the net.

The barrage laughed like crazy.

【Hahaha】

【Big Grass Special Grass】

【At first I thought it was Shadow X, but it turned out to be Japanese Junior High School X?】

【Humiliation day X】

[This is the worst time for Little Sun to be hacked]

Salem is not the male lead of a sports manga, so he doesn't have the spirit of overcoming difficulties and persevering like a passionate man of sports manga.

He walked aside very naturally and began to watch the battle.

[Laughing to death, Salem starts paddling]

【Is this the VIP auditorium】

[Metti hits two, so strong]

[He actually won, ask for the opponent's psychological shadow area]

[Make the voice of Salem: Big brother, please take me away]

Most of the readers are just enjoying the light side story, but some people think deeply.

[Orcs can also use mana in sports and competitions.]

[Seeing the hardships of pure human existence]

[Facing the opponent's spiking ball blessed with mana, there is no other way but to dodge, and I feel sorry for Saishen]

[Like the epitome of the powerlessness of pure human beings in front of orcs]

【Behind Salem's relaxed mask, I'm afraid there are very complicated thoughts hidden.】

……

Lin Chengshi: No, there is no such thing.You think too much.

As the readers guessed, after such a relaxing episode, Salem is about to open the copy of Nether Kingdom.

But before going to Nether Kingdom, Lin Chengshi had to attend a wedding in the real world.

The wedding between Kanin and Taniguchi is indeed the most traditional Kami-style wedding.

Lin Chengshi had to dig out his kimono from the bottom of the box, which was custom-made by his mother when he was a coming-of-age ceremony in high school.

Fortunately, his figure hasn't changed much since then, and the kimono still fits perfectly.

After all the guests are seated, the bride and groom enter in turn.

Lin Chengshi turned his head to carefully observe the expressions of the two newcomers.

Xianyuan was wearing a black kimono with the family crest printed on it, and his expression was very solemn, without the slightest hint of joy that had announced the happy news of their engagement.And behind him was Taniguchi, who was dressed in white, with a ruddy complexion and a smile on his lips.

This is very strange, Lin Chengshi thought, if Xianyuan is unwilling to get married, given the difference in status between the two parties, the wedding cannot be carried out.

However, although Xianyuan had an ugly expression, when he was asked to drink a cup of wine, his face was livid as if he was drinking poison.But the whole wedding went on in an orderly manner.

After the wedding ceremony, there is a subsequent disclosure feast, which is similar to a banquet.

After the disclosure banquet began, the groom had to start socializing with a forced smile on his face.And the bride put on a bright red gown over Bai Wugou, which was embroidered with luxurious and complicated flowers and birds.She was holding her husband's arm, showing off her might in the spring breeze.

Lin Chengshi went out of his way to look at the expressions of Xianyuan's parents. Their expressions were very calm, with no signs of happiness or anger.

Lin Chengshi's tablemates happen to be Yasaka, who is stupid and rich in money, and Yuka Miura, who is well-informed.

The young man Yasaka had a flushed face, and he seemed completely oblivious to the undercurrent of the wedding.

He was pulling the bridegroom Xianyuan to toast, laughing and patting Xianyuan's back, as if he was sincerely happy for his good brother.

Kanin's mouth was not distracted to deal with Yasaka's enthusiasm, but his eyes were fixed on Hayashi Chengshi and Miura Yuka like a falcon.

Lin Chengshi felt that there was a strange enthusiasm in his eyes.It's like a dying person trying to grab the straw for life-saving, or like a person deep in hell seeing the spider thread hanging from the Buddha.

Xianyuan's hands grabbed Lin Chengshi's arm very impolitely, and his words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Cheng Shi-kun, you are my good brother. You must attend the next two meetings and three meetings. The same goes for Yasaka and Miura."

It seems that after the banquet, Xianyuan is planning to invite friends who are close to him to some small gatherings.

Haru Taniguchi said with a smile on the side: "Yuuji, you are just getting married and you are about to start fooling around."

Yuuji Kanin hesitated to speak.

Haru Taniguchi mercifully approved again: "But since we are all friends, you can go. Lin Jun cleans himself up, and I feel relieved to have him looking at me."

This is already a hostess.

Lin Cheng complained in his heart: My mother and child were single and provoked you.

Forget it, these two couples seem to have some problems at present, and Lin Chengshi doesn't want to interfere in their affairs.

After the three sessions ended, it was already late at night.Taniguchi Haru also came to the previous party, but at this time, she really couldn't stand it anymore, so she went back with apology.

There are really not many people who can persist until now.

In addition to Yuji Kanin, Hayashi Chengmi, Yasaka Kenichi and Miura Yuka were left.

Kanin Yuuji took the three of them to a very secluded club, found a room, locked the door, and refused anyone's interruption and service.

He looked at the three people in front of him and said.

"Miura, you have investigated too deeply, about me and Taniguchi."

"Eh?" Miura didn't expect that Xianyuan was so mysterious for a long time today, it was because of her.

"Mr. Chengshi asked me to check." She quickly sold Lin Chengshi.

"I guessed it." Xianyuan took a deep breath.

"But if you continue to investigate and alarm "them", the truth will be covered up again. "

Xianyuan inserted his fingers into his hair, scratched impatiently, and finally seemed to have made up his mind:

"You are all very close and trusted friends of mine. I am going to tell you a secret now, but don't let it out."

The so-called "friends" here are completely clichés.If it wasn't because Miura found out the truth soon, he wouldn't take the initiative to buy people's hearts.

Before Yasaka and Miura said anything, Lin Chengshi had already stood up: "It's a very troublesome secret to hear! Can I not listen?"

"No, it's not a very troublesome thing." Xianyuan said, "After you listen to it, you can pretend that you didn't hear it. I just want you to know this secret."

The three looked at each other, and Lin Chengshi said, "Then tell me."

"Then... what I'm going to say may sound absurd. But I promise, everything is true."

Xianyuan, a man who was always arrogant, showed a rare expression of panic.

He swallowed: "Taniguchi Haru has superpowers."

……

? ?

"What?!" Lin Chengshi and the three spoke in unison.

Yasaka's eyes were already looking at Hanin suspiciously, wondering if he was crazy.

Lin Chengshi's astonishment was different from the other two. In fact, his heart had already set off a turbulent sea.

The mysterious power took him through time and space, just to draw manga... The relationship between Haru Taniguchi and Kanin... The inconsistent attitude of Kanin... The recognition of Kanin's family...

All the clues are strung together, and Lin Chengshi has already believed [-]% of Kanin Yuuji's words.

Xianyuan continued to explain: "What I said is true, that woman has special power. Her ability is to control other people's hormones. The reason why I got engaged to her before was because I was fascinated by her ability. "

Yuka Miura interjected, "Then you are no longer bewitched, are you? Why do you want to marry her?"

Xianyuan's face turned blue: "That's because, for unknown reasons, human beings have indeed begun to evolve. Recently, many people have awakened superpowers."

"The government has set up a special agency to register and manage these superpowers. Haru Taniguchi's superpowers are rated as S-level, and he is at the top of the human evolution pyramid. His status is no longer the same."

"After all, I am only the second son... Her marriage with me is more than enough. My mother no longer objects, and even supports her marrying into the Xianyuan family. They even look forward to the birth of a grandson with powerful superpowers."

Indeed, hormonal manipulation, if its capabilities are literally what it says it is.Then it can not only influence people's behavior silently, but also kill people silently. It is indeed a very powerful ability when used well.

The news was so shocking that the three of them didn't come to their senses for a long time.

"So...you tell us this, what do you want us to do?" Lin Chengshi asked.

Xianyuan said: "Can you understand? The rules of the game in this world have completely changed. Maybe in the future, money and status will be no match for a powerful superpower."

"Although some organizations are currently beginning to control people with superpowers, whether they are effective or not is unknown. If abilities like Taniguchi grow to a certain level, they will be at the superhuman level. Compared with her, I am already insignificant... "

"Can you imagine that one day, even if powerful superpowers commit crimes and even kill people, if they kill ordinary people like us, they may not be punished in any way. "

Xianyuan described in detail the information he currently knows.

"So I hope that if something happens...Cheng Shijun, I know you are smart, I just hope that you can help me when it comes to life and death."

Oh, so that's why Kanin also called Yasaka.Because of Yasaka's righteousness, he will never sit idly by, and Lin Chengshi, as Yasaka's friend, will have to help when the time comes.

He is really desperate and desperate, Lin Cheng thought to himself.

He really expected that I would help him at that time.

What Lin Chengshi valued more was another piece of information revealed by Xianyuan just now: "Can super powers grow?"

"Yes." Xianyuan said, "When Taniguchi first awakened her ability, she could only control me alone. Otherwise, she would have manipulated my parents to agree to our marriage. It was also because she could not control my parents at that time, so Only then did my mother investigate the clues."

"Now there are special agencies that don't allow her to abuse her abilities, so I am temporarily out of her control. In fact, she has developed her abilities under the supervision of a special department and can control many people at the same time."

"How can we develop the ability?"

"This, I heard from her, because there is no previous experience to base it on, so I can only explore slowly. That institution has a dedicated team of scientists who designed various experiments to exercise her ability."

"Basically, it's all practice and practice, as well as the learning of relevant knowledge. After all, her ability is hormonal manipulation, so she needs to study biology, medicine and the use of auxiliary abilities."

"Oh, that's how it is..." Lin Chengshi nodded, "Okay, I've written down what you said today."

Miura also said: "Okay! For the sake of giving you such precious information! When something happens to you, I will give some public opinion support...

Only Yasaka was a bit out of the situation: "So, can we have some supper? I'm hungry..."

After Lin Chengshi got into the taxi, it was daylight.

After he fell asleep this morning, he should enter the Divine Grace Continent again.

But this time, Lin Chengshi may look at this adventure with a new perspective.
