"This time, we have to 'interview' the newcomers carefully. After all..." Mou Xuan deliberately prolonged his tone, with a playful arc at the corner of his mouth, "...our alliance is not a 'garbage recycling station', we have to pick out the 'fine products'!"

Chen Yao couldn't help laughing and gently hit Mou Xuan's chest: "You, can't you speak seriously?"

"Hehe, this is called 'strategic humor', do you understand?" Mou Xuan blinked, with an expression that said "you don't understand me yet".

The three of them, along with a team of men, marched towards the town where the legendary "dragons and crouching tigers are hidden".

Along the way, Mou Xuan was extremely excited, as if he was going to meet his "online love partner", feeling both expectant and nervous.

"Hey, Yao, do you think the people in this town will be as hard to fool as those 'old foxes' in our 'safe house'?" Mou Xuan asked thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

Chen Yao rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who else are you trying to fool? Don't forget that we are here to recruit talents, not to conscript men!"

"Hehe, I'm just preparing for a rainy day!" Mou Xuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of "big white teeth".

Finally, they arrived at their destination.

As soon as he entered the town, Mou Xuan keenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

This is not a "welcome ceremony" at all, it's simply "watching from the sidelines"!

The residents on both sides of the street were like "ice cubes", with a cold look in their eyes that said "keep away from strangers".

What’s even more exaggerated is that some people deliberately walk around them, and it feels like... they are avoiding the "Plague God"!

"Oh my god, this 'treatment' is really 'enough'!" Mou Xuan couldn't help but complain.

Chen Yao also looked helpless: "It seems that we are 'unwelcome'!"

Recruiting officer Miao was heartless and cheerfully took out a stack of flyers, ready to "show his skills".

"Dear fellow villagers, brothers and sisters! We are from the 'Doomsday Hope Alliance'! We are here to recruit..." Recruiting Officer Miao shouted enthusiastically at the top of his voice.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by waves of "boos" and "ridicules".

"Tsk, what 'Doomsday Hope Alliance'? I've never heard of it!"

"That's right, it's obvious that he's here to 'cheat' people!"

"You're still recruiting people with special abilities? I think you're here to 'conscript men'!"

“…”

Faced with these "harsh" remarks, Recruiting Officer Miao's face suddenly became "colorful", like a "palette".

"This...what's going on?" He looked at Mou Xuan with a confused look on his face.

Mou Xuan was very calm. He patted the Miao recruiter on the shoulder and consoled him, "Don't be discouraged. It's just a small incident. 'The eyes of the masses are sharp,' but sometimes they need to be 'polished'."

He looked around.

Mou Xuan pointed to a "bustling" propaganda point not far away. It was crowded with people, and a "greasy-haired and powdered" guy was talking about something with "spitting all over the place."

The three of them squeezed in quietly, pricked up their ears and listened, and were immediately furious.

"Everyone, don't be fooled by that 'Doomsday Hope Alliance'! They are just a group of 'vampires' who specialize in exploiting people with special abilities!" The guy known as the rumormonger Hua was "slandering" the alliance in a vivid manner.

"I heard that they treat people with special abilities like 'slaves', not giving them food or water, and beating and scolding them at every turn!"

"That's right, a 'relative' of mine, a 'friend' of a 'neighbor' was 'cheated' by them, and now his 'life or death' is still unknown!"

"Oh my god, the level of this 'rumor-mongering' is too 'low'!" Mou Xuan rolled his eyes.

Chen Yao was so angry that her teeth itched: "This person is too shameless, it's just nonsense!"

Mou Xuan just laughed and said, "Don't worry, the fun is yet to come!"

He signaled Shen Yao to "talk" to some residents around, while he continued to "lurk" in the crowd, observing the "performance" of the rumormonger Hua.

Relying on her "friendliness" and "eloquence", Chen Yao quickly became friends with several residents.

"Sister, don't listen to his nonsense. We in the alliance are not that kind of people!"

"Yes, we all joined the alliance voluntarily, and the alliance has been very good to us!"

"Do I look like someone who has been 'abused'?"

Thanks to Shen Yao's "efforts", some residents began to "waver", and there was a hint of "suspicion" in their eyes when they looked at the rumor maker Hua.

Just then, several "suspicious" people caught Mou Xuan's attention.

They approached the propaganda point "sneakily", as if they were "plotting" something.

"Hmm? Could it be a 'superpower'?" Mou Xuan's heart moved.

Sure enough, not long after, those people walked into the propaganda point and whispered with the rumormonger Hua.

"Hehe, the fish is hooked!" Mou Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised.

Soon, those people left the propaganda point and walked in the other direction of the town.

Mou Xuan signaled Recruiter Miao to follow them, while he continued to "monitor" the rumormonger Hua.

Not long after, Recruiting Officer Miao came back excitedly: "Brother Xuan, those people are indeed 'superpowers'! They are very interested in our alliance's recruitment plan!"

"Oh? Really?" Mou Xuan raised his eyebrows. "Among them, there is a very lonely-looking psychic. You didn't let him join easily, did you?"
