Shanghai.
This international metropolis, even though the whole world is in chaos, has remained remarkably peaceful amidst the crisis, much like this ancient Eastern country, thanks to someone's prior announcement.
But the problem is that before long, trouble also emerged here, the vast majority of whom were foreign tourists stranded here.
They already knew more or less what had happened in their hometown and country, so they were even more terrified and wanted to rest and recuperate in this peaceful Eastern country.
There's no way around it; native-born people know all too well the mess these superheroes make of their lives abroad.
Europe, Africa, North America, and South America have all become their battlefields, and even India is no exception.
That's absolutely brutal.
In contrast, the ancient capital of the East, which has always been stable and peaceful, is a paradise that everyone dreams of. Unfortunately, they have always been very particular about their own country's visa situation and do not allow any foreigners to live here for a long time. At most, they will give you a few months or a year to stay for a while.
Just treat them as tourists.
Now, with yet another round of chaotic events unfolding, people around the world are instinctively flocking to this Eastern country. After all, they know this process all too well: a supervillain has stirred up a world-class danger, then a superhero steps in, smashes up a whole bunch of people and all sorts of messy things, finally gets things sorted out, and then everyone goes home peacefully.
Of course, the idea of going home only applies to heroes. Who knows how these heroes manage to survive? They're just ordinary people who could easily be killed by an explosion. So they really don't like these big events where heroes defeat villains, okay?
Therefore, as all sorts of people flocked to the city, their minds clouded and they continued to do disreputable things in this country, and that's when—
"snort!"
The pretty girl's voice had a nasal tone, which was no longer as cute as before, but rather more like a stern one.
As that delicate shout rang out, several tornadoes swept the ungrateful criminals into the clouds.
Of course, they wouldn't kill anyone. So after several rounds of earth-shaking, the group of guys, whose minds were already impaired and who were even foaming at the mouth, finally collapsed helplessly on the ground.
Lei Ling, or rather, the cyclone, with a light tap of his slender fingers, caused the tornadoes to seem to come alive, enveloping the group of people within them.
As it kept spinning and spinning, it was like a pitcher throwing these guys one by one hundreds of meters away!
Until they reached the nearest police station, several streams of air acted like soft blankets, locking them firmly in place and preventing them from suffering fatal injuries.
However, this series of actions undoubtedly surprised the onlookers, and many people began to cheer for the newly crowned hero.
"Cyclone! Cyclone! Cyclone!"
The girl's face was flushed with a proud blush.
With all her might, she straightened her back, and then, as if on cue, she suddenly began to propel herself away into the clouds, leaving behind a crowd of cheering people.
For some reason, even though she was far enough off the ground, she always felt that she had a strange smell on her.
"Cyclone, cyclone, cyclone—"
That's enough!
The girl yelled at the guy who had appeared next to her out of nowhere.
Honestly, she thought the other person had suddenly appeared out of nowhere again. She had finally managed to be a hero, but it turned out that the other person had seen her and was now shouting at her.
After all, for those who have no idea who they are and only think of themselves as aloof, being exposed by an acquaintance is quite embarrassing and infuriating for both parties who know each other well.
No, they have nothing to do with each other.
Lei Ling kept reminding himself of this, but unfortunately, meeting the other person's winking and eye-rolling gaze made him feel really strange.
"Calm down, calm down. Young lady. You should be glad that I've suppressed my feelings for so long. Even when I do evil, I have my limits. Otherwise, I would have already revealed your current identity to the public."
Now, our country has honorably sent me to lure you into this—oops!
We're recruiting you into the Super Soldier Corps, so are you interested?
When the gold-embossed letter was handed to him, he looked at the huge ink on it and the newest emblem of the Super Soldier Company.
The familiar Great Wall is nestled among two clusters of flowers.
Unfortunately, when the girl held the thing up in her hand, her first thought was to throw it away, but due to the unreliable nature of some people, she ultimately didn't do it.
"Where did you steal it from?"
That's right.
Even if you beat her to death, she still wouldn't believe that the guy in front of her was now a member of the government. This was completely different from the mysterious and high-class image of the government in her mind.
Normal people would find a proper person to handle things, not a mentally ill person.
"Oh, young girl, you really hurt me, you know? Do you really think I'm that despicable?"
"right."
That brief tone, coupled with cold and helpless language, pierced someone's heart.
He clutched his chest as if he had been hit in the heart by a barrage of arrows, but it seemed he was clutching the middle of his chest, not his heart. Maybe he had made a mistake.
"That's truly heartbreaking, but thankfully it's all true. Now! The nation has appointed you! To become the first member of the Super Soldier Corps!"
When Hanlu appeared, she pulled out a series of team badges from her bosom as if by magic. It must be some kind of proof, right?
At least when he unfolded his ID, Lei Ling gradually began to believe him, but she still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Why would they contact you?
"Of course it's because I'm awesome. Seriously, I'm not exaggerating when I say that your little tricks are nothing special. I could ban you in the next minute, believe it or not?"
Without giving the girl a chance to respond, the moment Hanlu lightly snapped her fingers, that familiar feeling of powerlessness once again eroded the girl's entire body.
As the air currents she was riding vanished instantly, her blue wings made of air currents also disappeared, and she fell to the ground like a girl wearing a cosplay uniform.
She instinctively flapped her limbs frantically, like a bird that had lost its wings, but to no avail, she was slowing down.
She could only feel the piercing airflow echoing around her ears, helplessly resisting her fall, until she was finally captured by gravity.
As she watched the buildings getting closer and closer, she realized she was almost passing through one of the tall buildings!
"So? Do you believe me now?"
Soaked in sweat, Lei Ling gasped for breath like someone who had just been rescued from drowning.
Her chest, which had been slightly heaving, began to rise and fall continuously.
The good news is that Hanlu was catching her steadily in a princess carry, and even as she looked at the surrounding clouds, it seemed as if she hadn't left her original position at all.
"Is it possible for me to refuse?"
The girl who was being played with felt absolutely no sympathy for the hero who came to her rescue.
After all, it was entirely the other party's doing that, wasn't it?
Instead, she could only helplessly lower her eyes and look at the guy in front of her who was almost deeply bound to her. She felt a strong sense of cat playing with mouse, yet unable to escape.
"Okay, then take that as acceptance."
