"Give me the pre-mission assessment report," Frey said to the agent guarding the transporter room.
"It has been sent to your phone."
Frey pulled out his phone and quickly scanned the document: "No, this is not right."
Hoover, the head of the CIA, asked Frey, who looked less than 20 years old, in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Three high school students who just graduated from high school, a 17-year-old female garment factory worker who just graduated from elementary school, and a high school dropout, how could such a combination eliminate a team of elite agents without using super powers? But all intelligence shows that there are only a few of them in the maid shop, and the Chinese agents rented a house outside to monitor and protect them."
Frey licked his tongue.
"That's not right. Assuming that all the intelligence was correct and the action team didn't make any major mistakes, and indeed killed all the Chinese agents who were monitoring and protecting them. Then, the ones who ambushed the action team were these high school students. They discovered our intentions and quickly made a plan to quietly kill all the infiltrators without causing any fluctuations."
As Frey spoke, he used his mobile phone to remotely control the large screen in the room and pulled up the information related to the previous attack on Japanese agents.
"It was the same when the Japanese agents were attacked. There were no superpower fluctuations, but a group of well-trained agents were killed just like that. I would like to make a bold guess now. The Japanese agents were also killed by the group of the King in Yellow. Like us, they also found a way to block the fluctuation monitoring. The King in Yellow did not lie dormant at all. He was always on the move."
Hoover frowned. "Our equipment was developed by 'Iron Master' Johnny. Considering Johnny's extraordinary intelligence, I don't think..."
Frey called up the intelligence on the Yellow King that had been collected so far.
"Champion of amateur radio competition, champion of amateur model airplane competition, champion of national programming competition, champion of national digital modeling competition, champion of national Olympic competition. However, because he was so focused on solving one problem, he failed to solve several problems and was unable to go to the training camp... Jesus, this is also a genius." Frey looked back at Hoover, "I think it was this person who gave the order to make the follow-up shot. This person's ability... can he take away other people's abilities? Oh my God."
Frey's face suddenly changed.
"Shit, get the strongest esper to my side right now, you idiots. This guy has the ability of 'war horse'. If I were him, I would start planning how to use the war horse to steal my teleportation ability right now!"

Chen Zhongwu stared at Masha and said, "Do you expect me to believe this Home Alone story?"
Masha pointed at himself and said, “I am just a little kid.
"18 years old, a student."
Chen Zhongwu was silent, staring at Masha, and suddenly he smiled: "Okay, I believe this story."
He patted Masha on the shoulder, then lowered his voice and said, "011 is a very good junior. I was planning to cultivate him well."
Masha glanced at the female agent outside who was leaning against the wall crying with tears in her eyes.
"Although they are all my colleagues under the World Government, there are some people whom I will never let go."
Masha nodded: "Me too."
"By the way, recently - not recently, a group of Japanese agents in Yuezhou were inexplicably killed. Do you have any idea about this matter?"
Masha was shocked. "There is such a thing? Don't we have a good relationship with Japan? The Navy Day Ryotsuki is coming."
The world government is a confederation system. In theory, there are no countries. In reality, powerful countries still maintain the title of country in the traditional sense and retain their own armies in accordance with the "capacity" stipulated in the World Charter.
The Joint Army is a joint force composed of a portion of troops drawn from each of the G15.
The entire world has been divided into several regions according to the plan agreed upon by the five major chairing countries. Small and weak countries no longer exist and have become provinces of the regions.
Japan belongs to the North American region, and the presence of its warships in participating in Navy Day itself sends an extraordinary signal.
Chen Zhongwu looked at Masha, smiled and said nothing.

Chapter 269 Shut up, we are discussing freedom of speech (th update)
The President was contentedly eating his favorite hamburger when his chief of staff entered the room: "Director Hoover is on the front line."
"Okay." The president answered the phone while chewing a hamburger. "Hoover, what's going on? Did you catch the King in Yellow? What? What happened? Oh, oh, since the King in Yellow is coming, why not just set a trap to catch him?"
Then the president swallowed the hamburger, picked up the Coke on the desk and took a big sip, then took a delicious bite of the hamburger.
"Hey, listen, nobody knows more about espionage than I do," he said as he continued to chew his new burger.
"When dealing with corporate espionage, as long as you know someone is going to steal something, it's easy to deal with it. You can deliberately leave some things for him to steal, and then catch him if you want. If you don't want to catch him, let him run away with the wrong data.
"So, design a trap and wait for the Yellow King to take the bait. As long as the Yellow King can be caught in the end, everything will be fine if the result is good."

A few hours later, Johnny "Iron Master" took a helicopter and landed on the helipad near Langley.
Soon he met Frey in Frey's laboratory.
After hearing the whole story, Johnny frowned and said, "Those idiots actually let ordinary people raid two SSS-level nests? Just because they have the microwave weapons that you and I developed together?"
"As far as the results are concerned, that's right." Frey shrugged, "They didn't even tell me about this plan, I just knew I needed to teleport certain people back at a certain time.
"I've only seen two of these people before. The others were 'tracked' based on the psychological assessment report, but the transmission time was delayed. Then they were shot by the Yellow King. We have no idea what happened in that maid shop now."
"Humph, if anyone dares to break into my lab without my permission, Friday will make them miserable." Johnny shrugged. "But the King in Yellow only bought such a small building as his lair, and... opened a maid shop? I really don't understand the East Asian way of thinking."
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Everyone looked towards the door and saw the big guy Ben blocking the door.
"Uh, can I come in?"
Frey pointed to the huge chair in the room and said, "I also prepared a special chair for you."
"Oh, this is wonderful."
Ben happily went over and sat on the chair.
"Now, 'Iron Master', 'Dr. Hyde', and 'Chief Engineer' are all here," Johnny spread his hands, "The King in Yellow can come if he wants."
"He's coming?" Ben asked doubtfully, "I haven't heard of this."
"He knows my power," Frey said. "If he could take someone else's power, he would want it."
"Then he'll come and see, 'Wow, here are two more SSS abilities I really want,'" Johnny spread his hands, "Checkmate! Dead chess, thank you."
"So, we're going to call Pete over? And Penny too?"
Ben looked at Frey and suggested in a simple voice.
Johnny laughed, "Then before the King in Yellow comes, the White House will first suspect that we are going to cause trouble, and then drop a nuclear bomb on Langley."
The other two laughed.
Frey said, "Langley itself has quite a few A and S-class on duty. I think the current combat capability is sufficient."
"I'm thinking that the idea that the Yellow King can take away other people's abilities is just speculation. I've always been interested in the Yellow King's abilities," Johnny stood up and pulled the large electronic whiteboard over. "It just so happens that the smartest minds in the United States have gathered here. Let's brainstorm."
He put on the ring used to control the electronic whiteboard, made a gesture, and a detailed list of information immediately appeared on the whiteboard.
"Let's look at the most important basis for judging that this 'Yelou King' can seize the abilities of others, which is the death of the SSS-level code-named 'Military Horse'. After the death of Military Horse, the item-type supernatural powers it possessed did not disappear. There are several possibilities."
"Junma's death was fake." Ben directly proposed a possibility, "Yellow King used his ability to create a fake corpse."
"Then why does he work for King Huang?" Johnny asked.
Frey: "Brainwashing."
"But the superpowers that have been confirmed to have the ability to brainwash cannot brainwash superpowers of the same or higher qualifications."
"Cognitive disturbance." Ben proposed the second possibility, "Cognitive disturbance can interfere with the mind of a superpower with the same or even higher qualifications."
"But that's just a disturbance, and the effect will be weakened when facing people with the same or higher qualifications." Johnny paused, "The most important thing is that cognitive disturbance can only produce very specific effects. Obedience seems simple, but it actually contains complex meanings, so all cognitive disturbances do not have the effect of making people obey."
Frey: "Memetic contamination."
"Correct! Memetic pollution can make people agree with a certain idea. If Huang Wang's ability is memetic pollution, he can definitely convince Junma to become his own man. But there is a problem with this..."
"How to fake a dead body," Ben said.
"Yes, if Huang Wang's ability is memetic contamination, then there are only a few people who have developed a second ability so far, and they are all old people who have awakened for more than five years. How high is the possibility that Huang Wang has awakened a second ability that can be used to fake corpses after hiding for five years?"
Frey said seriously, "He also has an assistant who has the ability to forge corpses."
"That's right. The other SSS-level 'magical girl' has known the Yellow King since childhood. She must have been influenced by him. When the Yellow King awakened, she was naturally contaminated by the meme. The other female superpower who was involved with the Yellow King was originally his classmate. Oh no, now the people around him, except for the latest one, all have various connections with the Yellow King. The latest one joined after the Yellow King's speech became popular on the Chinese Internet..."
Johnny looked at the entire train of thought and related information he had left on the electronic whiteboard.
"Shit, the reason this guy opened a maid shop and livestreamed was to spread his meme pollution. He gave a speech before, but found that the effect was not good, so he switched to using the currently popular method to spread it. He gained tens of thousands of followers in just a few days. If he continues like this, he will soon have a huge fan base. These are all his potential 'soldiers'. After a large-scale awakening occurs, this guy will immediately have an army."
Ben, Freddy, and Johnny looked at each other.
"Damn, why didn't I think of it at first?" Frey patted his head.
Ben spread his hands and said, "No one can avoid the fixed mindset."
"This is far more terrible than the Flying Spaghetti Cult memetic contamination. It's a shame your operation was unsuccessful."
Ben said: "I've seen the King in Yellow's speech and I don't think we need to worry so much. He doesn't look like a terrorist."
Freddy and Johnny looked at Ben together.
"What?" Ben looked puzzled. Suddenly he frowned. "Oh, shit, we should ban this video from the entire internet."
Chapter 270: The Wisdom of Sun Tzu’s Art of War
While several SSS-class people on the other side of the ocean were brainstorming together, Masha was also discussing tonight's attack with her sisters.
He also took a quick whiteboard to summarize his ideas, but it was really just a whiteboard, the kind that you had to write on with markers.
"It was the CIA that attacked us. Chen Zhongwu has already hinted at that. No, he made it clear. The Americans concealed the fact that they have teleporters. The higher-ups may protest or something, but that's none of our business. But there's some very interesting intelligence."
Masha wrote the word "clothes" on the whiteboard.
"There was a person on the street who was teleported away, but he didn't leave any clothes behind. We can safely assume that the person who attacked the surveillance station on the roof of our building also didn't leave any clothes behind. The biggest difference between these two people and the three people who left naked is that they are conscious."
Qianxun said: "There should be more restrictions on this teleportation ability, otherwise it can't explain why they didn't teleport us directly."
"Yes, the CIA obviously wants to capture us, so they can just teleport us." Masha wrote "Purpose: Capture" on the whiteboard. "But they didn't do that, so there are restrictions on teleportation. However, we don't know what the restrictions are, and we don't know if we meet these conditions now. We don't know if we will be teleported after we fall asleep."
Masha looked at the girls.

Frey's laboratory underground in Langley.
"Can't you just lock onto the King in Yellow and teleport him over here?" Johnny asked. "We have a full psychological evaluation of him, don't we?"
"I can't, sorry. To teleport a superpowered person, I need him to cooperate with me. I can only teleport ordinary people. To teleport a superpowered person, I need someone I can teleport to catch the unconscious superpowered person, and then I can teleport this person who serves as a 'bridge'."
Frey shrugged.
Johnny suddenly said, "Wait, then you can take us to that maid shop."
"Neither can I." Frey shook his head. "I can send people from any location to a place I've been to. It must be a place I've been to in person. And I, unfortunately, couldn't leave the United States before awakening, and now it's even more impossible for me to leave the United States."
Ben finally swallowed the meat in his mouth. He smiled and said, "There are many strange settings for superpowers. For example, the one we found before, a superpower who can definitely defeat a person named Jenny. I still don't understand how this 'named Jenny' was determined."
Johnny raised his eyebrows. "I've studied that guy before, because he's a very rare person with super powers in the field of causality. He's very interesting."
Frey: "I've researched it. The past tense means..."
"Even I don't understand how his ability works. And my smart mind tells me that it's a waste of time to study it further." Johnny shrugged, "I still have so many things to study. I should spend my enthusiasm on other things. For example, I can study time travel..."
Johnny suddenly imitated the tone of the character in Avengers 4 that he created and spoke a line from the movie.
Then all three of them laughed.
Ben said, "I quite like your doppelganger in the movie."
He raised his arm and snapped his fingers, "I am Iron Man."
Snapped.
"Cool," Ben said.
Johnny shook his head: "NONONO, this is the stupidest part of the whole script. Thanos can't fly, and he doesn't have a knife to throw. He should fly and give the glove to Captain Marvel, and let her do the snap. These people just want to distort me and deliberately shoot it like this. If they get the Yellow King, the first thing they will do is to use the Yellow King's memetic pollution ability to pollute me."
Frey: "There's a bug here."
"What? You actually allowed them to install a bug in your territory?" Johnny raised his head and looked at the ceiling. "Hey, Hoover, I know you are listening. You heard something just now. It doesn't matter. Since you heard it, I will tell you directly..."
"Johnny, there's no bug, I'm kidding."
"I know." Johnny shrugged, "But what if there is?"
Ben looked back at the two of them: "So, is there one or not?"
