"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." This was all Shi Yin could promise. As long as she remained, the Flame Dragon Nation would not perish.
Facing the apocalypse, Shi Yin dec...
"Let me help too, I can help." A voice rang out, causing Shi Yin and Lin Beiyue to pause for a moment.
No one had ever interrupted Shion when she was giving orders, and the sudden boldness of someone made the people around her a little uncomfortable.
Shi Yin then took a closer look at Bei Qingchuan. This person often appeared on the screen, but this was the first time Shi Yin had actually met him in person. Judging from his appearance, Bei Qingchuan should be quite old, but he looked like he was in his early twenties.
He doesn't have a strikingly handsome appearance, but he has a pleasant demeanor. His speech and tone are natural and unobtrusive, and he has a scholarly air about him.
"Teacher Qingchuan, our work is very dangerous. You can leave this to us." Lin Beiyue whispered, "After the snowstorm ends in a few days, we will send the people trapped here back."
Oh, speaking of which, the host of this banquet was Kita Kiyokawa.
Shi Yin felt a little guilty. This banquet was a typical battleground. It was hard for Bei Qingchuan to be caught in the middle on stage with no one to help him. He must be sweating profusely.
They were so busy causing trouble that they completely forgot about the innocent host...
But why is Kita Kiyokawa on such good terms with Nan Zhu? Could Nan Zhu really be a good person?
Shi Yin couldn't believe it.
"It's alright, I can help with whatever small things I can. My special ability can soothe everyone's spirits," Kita Kiyokawa said.
Lin Beiyue: "Huh?"
Guan Nianshan: "What?"
Tokine: "!?"
"You have superpowers?" The commander was also surprised.
He had heard of Bei Qingchuan, and he knew very well how many superhumans each city had, and Bei Qingchuan was clearly not among them.
Which city is hiding Bei Qingchuan's supernatural abilities?
The commander's expression changed; this meant someone was lying about having superpowered individuals. The worst-case scenario for harboring superpowered individuals was training a private army. Could it be...?
The commander-in-chief glanced back at Shi Yin, who shook her head, indicating that the commander-in-chief was overthinking things.
All the superhumans in the world were within Shi Yin's perception. To Shi Yin's surprise, she did not sense Bei Qingchuan's superhuman ability, just as she did not sense Nan Zhu's superhuman ability at first.
"What is your special ability? When did you awaken it?" Shi Yin asked.
"About a month ago, based on my observations, my special ability should be sound." Kita Kiyokawa keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
It seems that no one dares to interrupt when Shion is speaking.
Is this girl the one with the highest status?
Probably not, this girl is too young.
"Sound..." If it's a sound wave-based ability, how come I don't feel anything? Shi Yin felt strange.
“This operation doesn’t require sonic abilities, you can go back now.” Shi Yin rejected Kitakami’s suggestion: “Go report to your superiors and get a new badge.”
"Okay, sure." Kitakami Kiyokawa immediately agreed.
He's not tactless; he knows when to shut up.
"Commander, let's go." After watching the soldiers take Kita Kiyokawa away, Shi Yin turned around and whispered to the commander, "This time, we need your help."
“Okay.” The leader was actually a little surprised. His superpower didn’t have any real effect; the puppet superpower was just to force someone to obey.
This ability is actually a bit useless. Shi Yin was willingly restrained by the leader, who didn't expect Shi Yin to bring him along.
“I want to enter Belfinger’s domain, and I can’t do it without at least 50% of my power,” Shi Yin explained as she walked forward. “But once the Mirror Zombie copies 50% of my power, humanity will be in big trouble.”
"So, how can I help?" The commander-in-chief was not quite sure.
“Your puppet ability can command me, so it counts as your ability, not mine. It’s like exploiting a bug.” Shi Yin said, “The mirror zombie’s ability to copy puppet commands is worthless. The mirror can only copy the first priority ability, which is the puppet ability. It cannot copy what happens after you give the command.”
Unless, of course, that mirror zombie also uses its puppet ability to subdue a puppet with the power of Time Sound, but that's impossible.
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help." The superintendent sighed softly, "Actually, you can also tell me what's on your mind."
"I will, Lord Commander." Shi Yin smiled, reached out and grabbed the Lord Commander's shoulder as they walked to the rooftop of the Doomsday Beacon.
"The puppet ability shares the puppet's physical resistance and life force, so you don't need to worry about the high altitude." Shi Yin's voice was lost in the wind.
The leader felt a blur before his eyes, and the sensation of rapid ascent and weightlessness was truly unpleasant. At his age, he never thought he would be able to experience a roller coaster.
"Is this the Belfinger you were talking about?" Even without Shi Yin's introduction, the Commander-in-Chief had already noticed something amiss.
Although the Earth was shrouded in a black, fog-like substance, that was above the atmosphere; the clouds were merely polluted and turned dark gray, quite different from a long night.
Now, there seems to be a purplish-black thing on the dark gray clouds, which is quite conspicuous in the dark gray mist. It has no fixed shape and just floats in the air like a drifting cloud, looking like an egg lying there.
"The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth, Belphegor, but actually, it should be said that its ability is a special mirror-like zombie that merges with the world." Shi Yin explained: "To put it more directly, its ability is a mirror world."
"This can be considered a zombie?" The commander increasingly felt that this thing had transcended the level of a monster.
"This is what its prototype looks like." Shi Yin took out paper and pen from her space and started drawing. In no time, she drew a little old man.
It really does look like a zombie now. Shi Yin used colored pencils to accurately draw the monster's appearance. Apart from the sharp tail and horns, the bluish-gray scales and skin, as well as the sharp nails and teeth, it has all the characteristics of an ordinary zombie.
But why does it look more and more like a human? It's just a bit ugly.
The Consul General nodded, indicating that he understood.
“The mirror world is much better than the current apocalypse. Food doesn’t spoil, there’s no wind, snow, or danger, and it’s easy to not want to leave, like a beautiful dream,” Shi Yin continued. “But once that thought takes hold, you can never get out of it. That’s Belphegor’s hunting style.”
"Of course, this mirror world has a limited scope. Only the outer ring is a beautiful world, while the outer ring is an environment more dangerous than the current apocalypse."
"Then how are they supposed to get out?" the Commander-in-Chief asked worriedly. "Are you going to bring them out all by yourself?"
“No, I can’t bring him out.” Shi Yin shook her head: “To be honest, I’m going to bring Nan Zhu out; he’s not part of my plan.”
"What?" The commander-in-chief was startled.
“Yes, to be frank, I’ve always been wary of Nanzhu. Although he’s weak, his aura is too compatible with the New World, just like Changning.” To the leader, Shiyin spoke frankly: “In other words, once he and Changning are assimilated and taken away by the New World, they will definitely be formidable enemies I never expected.”
"And before that? I remember you were reborn many times, and Nanzhu was always normal?"
