"Then your Marine Power Squad is a special situation unit similar to the police?" Annick remembered that he met the two policemen wearing black uniforms wearing police inspector epaulettes last week.

"Ah, it seems you know these people. We are not embroidered pillows used to deal with stragglers. We are used to deal with those lawless pirates or armies composed of extraordinary beings." Old John seemed to be satisfied with his service career.

.

"Then how many of you are there?"

"Well, there are actually only a hundred or so people in the battle group, but the person in charge of our Scorpion Regiment is a lieutenant general. According to this number, there are at least 12 regiments in the country, with more than a thousand extraordinary masters of different abilities and strengths.

In the hands of the state." Old John's face became serious.

"There are so many? Are extraordinary beings just cabbage?" Annick said in surprise. There are so many among the officials, and at least twice as many among the people.

"Although they are called extraordinary people, everyone has different levels of development and awakening. Most of them are your father and I who only partially strengthened the body and strengthened the abilities of some organs. And do you think there will be no price to pay for awakening?"

"Price?" Annick was a little confused.

"As your abilities increase, there will always be an idea in your mind that is not yours to interfere with you. It will always make people feel schizophrenic, and they will also have headaches after using excessive abilities."

"If it's just a headache, that's okay." Annick replied.

"How could this be the only one? Later, the instructor in the army told me that the more powerful a person is, the easier it is for them to lose control. They will either become insane, or the magic power in their body will explode and die. The worst thing is to directly degenerate into half human and half ghost.

Creatures of Darkness.”

"Is there any way to deal with it?"

"Yes, so in order to combat the distracting thoughts in their minds, many people choose to numb themselves with alcohol, some choose to believe in religion, and some try to pretend that they don't exist." Old John took a deep breath of his cigarette.

"Actually, most of the days of serving in the Scorpion Regiment are relatively easy. Due to the special nature of the unit, most of the ordinary battles are not our turn. Only occasionally when we encounter gods or wizards worshiped by a few tribes, we are asked to go

Participate in the suppression.”

"Gods, do gods really exist?" Annick took a breath, this was the key point of his question.

"Shit gods are just partially awakened intermediate supernatural beings pretending to be gods and ghosts. I forgot to introduce you to the specific levels of extraordinary beings. The physical quality of the initially awakened extraordinary beings has been enhanced, and various statistics have reached the strongest level among ordinary people.

Level, your dad and I can easily run 100 yards within 9 seconds, and can lift 500 pounds. Lucky people will not only get physical enhancements after awakening for the first time, but also have certain parts of the body get additional enhancements.

, I got superhuman dynamic vision the first time I woke up." Old John showed off a little.

"Transcendents who are initially awakened and strengthened again are called newly awakened ones and awakened ones. These are just the strengthening of the inner qualities of the body. Half of our troops stay at this level. Don't underestimate it. A well-coordinated tactical team can

It's worth a platoon of regular troops." Old John paused for a while and continued.

"The higher the level, the more capable you are of interfering with the material world. Most of our team leaders can reach this level. Most of them can discharge electricity or make objects float, etc. They can use their superpowers to affect objects unexpectedly. Their physical fitness has been improved.

With further strengthening, it has moved towards the non-human level. This level is called superpowers and superpowers according to the degree of ability enhancement and the amount."

"Then it's up there?"

"As for the higher levels, I am not qualified to contact them, but the commander of our Scorpion Legion is said to have single-handedly entered a fleet of three sail warships when he was chasing a pirate group. It took less than twenty minutes.

, there is not a complete hull on the sea, and one person with this kind of strength can be a small army."

"Is it that powerful?" Annick asked a little doubtfully.

Old John waved his hand and continued: "I won't introduce you to other things. If you become a transcendent, someone will recruit you. Either join a transcendent corps like the military, or become a special person in the police.

Situation department. If you are a believer in the church, there are also teams that fight against evil gods. Of course, there are people who become bodyguards for nobles or wealthy businessmen for high wages, and there are also those who have the audacity to become criminals. After all, extraordinary people are much more capable of causing damage and action than ordinary people. In the end, there are still

Some people have degenerated into followers of evil gods. When you encounter such people, you must stay away. Crazy is not enough to describe them."

"Then father, do you think the Winter God and other eight righteous gods really exist?" Annick continued to dig deeper with an attitude of trying to take advantage of others. His father is a light believer in the Winter God.

"I don't know. It may be that ancient humans have reached a high enough level of transcendence, or our extraordinary powers may be gifts from the gods, or we may be just pawns played by the gods against each other."

"Why did you retire? You didn't want to serve for a few more years? Don't you think it's a pity to retire as a captain?" Annick expressed confusion.

"I have to live to earn that military merit. Every time I use my superpower, I feel the murmurs in my mind getting louder and louder. Originally, I thought I was the lucky one who could reach the Awakened One after awakening for the first time and break through to the alien world.

It should be easy for those who are capable, but I have served in the army for ten years and there is still no sign of a breakthrough."

"Is there no other way?" Annick thought of the bottle of wisdom potion he drank. "For example, drink a bottle of nourishing potion or something." "There is such a way, but the risk of losing control is too great. It happens every year in the army.

Many people with out-of-control superpowers went crazy on the spot and picked up rifles to shoot their teammates and were later killed; some had mental breakdowns and collapsed their bodies along with them, transforming their bodies into unexplainable monsters."

"It seems that Superman's strength is obtained by taking Superman's risks." Annick sighed.

"That's their own choice. Most of them lose control because they usually pursue promotions and like to exercise their abilities, or they usually like violence and have weird personalities. Some teammates also said that as the level increases, the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy in human nature become more and more intense.

The less.”

"Dad, how long have you been doing this?" Annick asked.

"The Legion of Extraordinaries stipulates that ordinary Extraordinaries who have served for ten years will be allowed to leave after signing a voluntary retirement to reserve service. Your father took a pension of one thousand pounds and returned to Kelange to be a farmer."

"So how are you doing now?" Annick asked a little worried.

"It's okay to use your superpower once in a while. The murmurs in your mind are gradually disappearing. The extraordinary person who seems to be powerful may just be a potential madman." Old John waved his hand, put away his pocket and returned home.

For dinner, Annick cooked a beer-roasted duck for his family based on his memory from Earth, which was well received. In the next few days, he basically cooked duck in fancy ways.

In addition to cooking, I spent most of my time grazing with Johnny. The two sisters asked for tutoring on homework, and most of the homework except math was pushed away. I am afraid that my current homework skills will not be beaten by the two sisters.

On June 22, it was time to go back as planned. This time was different from before. Annick followed two beautiful girls with his left and right hands full of luggage, looking like he was following the eldest lady's humble servant.

Two bottles of old John's collection of whiskey were also stuffed in the suitcase, and Linda ordered them to be given to her mentor Russell and cheap senior brother Director Ron.

Before setting off for breakfast, her parents called her over and gave the two sisters extra lessons and two months' living expenses. Seeing Old John rummaging around and pulling out three Harold I banknotes, Linda scolded him for being stingy again.

She originally wanted to just get ten pounds for tutoring fees. Linda said that she had just started working, and it would cost money to rent a house and buy necessary notebooks and shoes. Then she took out twenty pounds from Old John's wallet and gave it to herself.

.

Old John's face, who had just lost two bottles of old wine, looked even darker. With nearly a hundred pounds in his pocket, Annick walked away in fear.

The two careless girls were very excited to go to Eggsburg for the first time. They kept asking themselves where the fun was. There was no fun place in their remaining memories. It was probably because the poor student had no chance to go out and stayed at home.
