"Everyone," Masha looked at the girls, "we don't advocate justice. We are a group of people who act for our own interests. Even if we implement justice, it is justice defined by ourselves.
"There are definitely many things wrong with our actions. For example, the criminals we executed were all convicted by us, without a public trial, and without any previously formulated and widely recognized laws. This is definitely not in line with procedural justice and is definitely wrong.
“But I believe that there will be people who will be spared because of our actions, and there will be families who will be saved from the tragedy of devastation because of our actions.
"That's enough. Our goal is to preserve ourselves in troubled times, live a carefree life, and save the common people. Let me get started!"

At the same time, in a VR conference venue on the Internet.
The big guys with numbers on their faces were talking.
"The density of awakening in the Soviet zone has exceeded the intensity that our intelligence control plan can handle. In fact, intelligence has spread on a large scale in the past few days." Face No. 3 was speaking.
"If we don't start the next phase now, I'm afraid the situation will get out of control."
"I agree," No. 4 Face nodded. "We should have a non-veto vote and decide whether to proceed directly to the next stage by majority rule."
Face No. 1 protested, "Why must there be a veto system? Even I would not vote against it at a time like this. No one knows how to manipulate public opinion better than me. If we don't start now, we will miss the opportunity."
Face No. 2 moved his body and said, "Then let's start the vote. Those who agree to move on to the next stage, please raise your hands."
The five VR avatars with number faces all raised their hands.
"Very good. Now, please have the secretary write this down: at 5:30 pm Greenwich time, we voted unanimously to announce the arrival of the spiritual energy revival to the world."
About illustration progress
Let me first briefly describe my condition.
The current diagnosis is vestibular nerve disorder caused by high blood pressure, high blood sugar and fatigue.
I was really freaked out on Tuesday, the usage was so severe that when I opened my eyes my head was spinning and I felt like throwing up.
I thought I would say goodbye to typing from now on, and I was prepared to persist in typing using voice, despite my disability. Maybe in the future I could be selected as one of the top ten young people who moved XX.
After the examination, the doctor prescribed some drugs to suppress the vestibular nerve, such as Sibelium and Didafenamide, and told me to get more sleep.
Then I almost didn’t feel dizzy today.
The doctor told me not to be too tired and to get 10 hours of sleep a day. If I can do this, I will not have a serious relapse.
I'm sorry to have caused you all to worry.
Regarding illustrations, this is the first time for an online novelist to directly commission work from a top-tier Japanese novelist. There is no relevant experience here, nor in Japan.
During the nearly two months of communication, Ms. Fujiwara initially misunderstood the purpose of our illustrations. She thought they were illustrations for a light novel and that this would make the publishing house she was working with unhappy.
Finally, with the coordination of Shenzhen Zequn Culture Communication Co., Ltd., the misunderstanding was resolved and the contract was signed yesterday (June 6).
However, Mr. Fujiwara's schedule is very tight. During the communication process, it was found that his schedule had been scheduled until May 2020. Also, because Mr. Fujiwara was responsible for the illustrations of several light novels, he needed to reserve time for the Japanese light novel publishers, so he only gave me 5 days.
I originally planned to order four illustrations at 120 million yen per illustration plus character design, for a total of 480 million yen. But the teacher could only draw one in 30 days, and there was no time to do the character design, so I had to settle for the next best thing and order a full-color large poster.
Therefore, I can only find someone else to do the character design of this book. When Mr. Fujiwara is free next year, I will let him draw the poster.
The person I found was TIRE, with whom I had a pleasant collaboration during the period of "My World War II Can't Be This Cute". They are a duo of painters, one of whom went to Japan to draw comics and is currently busy striving for the Rookie Award.
The person I am looking for is another member of the group. He just graduated from Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts and just received an admission letter from the University of the Arts London. He is waiting to go abroad and happens to be free to take orders.
Five years ago, I only paid 300 yuan per copy for two of them, but now I pay 4000 yuan per copy for one person...
This kind of thing really is a case of you get what you pay for...
The character design should be completed in September, and will be listed on the encyclopedia then, so stay tuned.
As for Fujiwara no Mikasa’s posters, I can’t say what I would recommend, but Fujiwara no Mikasa is such a big brand, Shuke will definitely not neglect it. Maybe he will directly make it into a brand and take it to comic conventions…
Chapter 429 New Volume Breaks In
Masha first opened the door and placed Chihiro at the fast travel point No. 51 on the East European Plain, and then opened a door to the fast travel point closest to Strasbourg.
The next step is to travel by land to Strasbourg.
After nearly being hit by a MiG-31 during his previous flight over the Carpathian Mountains, Masha decided it was better to be safe - although the person who could see through the league secretary's cognitive blockade had become fertilizer, who knew if there would be other strange people coming out to cause trouble?
Masha had just set off and hadn't run far when Qianxun contacted him: "Put your plan aside for now, find a safe place to surf the Internet and check the latest trending searches on Weibo."
Masha stopped the car without saying a word and returned to his basement via the Wonderland transfer.
Then he inserted the card into the phone, turned on the phone, quickly opened Weibo, and looked at the hot search column.
"The World Government has officially announced that super powers do exist"
——What the hell?
Masha was shocked.
He quickly clicked on the hot search information flow and saw that the first message was that there would be a major press conference at the World Government Headquarters in 10 minutes.
After looking at the release time of the news, Masha discovered that a major press conference was about to begin, so he quickly clicked into the live broadcast channel.
The whole world should be watching this live broadcast now, but Masha didn't feel any lag at all - it seems that the live broadcast party was well prepared and there was enough bandwidth for the broadcast.
Then an old white man with blond hair that fluttered in the wind walked up to the podium, put his hands on the podium with the World Government logo on it, and spoke into the microphone.
"Radisson is so boring..."
Masha has good English listening skills and can understand the guy's speech directly. The general content is that the world government has long predicted the emergence of super powers and has been preparing for the past half century.
So don't panic. If you encounter a naughty kid who can control wind, fire, thunder and lightning suddenly appear, please don't confront him head-on. Hide and call 911.
America's almighty Navy SEALs will arrive immediately and take care of those naughty kids.
Don't worry, the omnipotent Navy SEALs also have people with super powers who understand the greater good and choose to serve the country. They will definitely beat up the newly awakened naughty kids.
At the end, the blond man kept the secret: "I know what you want to know most. But I won't tell you!"
He smiled and hesitated for several seconds before continuing: "I plan to let the superheroes speak for themselves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of electric guitar and bass exploded, the entire backdrop of the podium fell backwards, and a group of hot girls rushed onto the stage that suddenly appeared and danced passionately.
Then, the iron suit fell from the sky.
Just like the classic appearance in the movie, the battle suit automatically shrank, deformed, and folded together, revealing the person wearing it.
"Okay, I know you were a little disappointed when you saw me, because you were hoping to see Robert Downey Jr., but unfortunately, Downey is an actor, and I," the man pointed at himself with his thumb, "I AM IRON MAN! However, my official call sign is 'Iron Master', and Iron Man is just a character designed based on me."
Before he finished speaking, a well-mannered and strong man who looked very much like Dr. Banner appeared.
Masha watched this scene through his mobile phone, and he knew what the public opinion around the world was like right now without having to think about it.
——Sure enough, the World Government came prepared. Their preparations over the years were not in vain.
Masha ordered Qianxun through the headset: "Your mission continues, I will check the public opinion situation first."
"Understood." Chihiro answered readily.
Masha quickly looked through the information flow of several major hot search terms.
Within minutes, netizens' discussion shifted from whether superheroes really exist to whether Chinese immortals, Taoist priests and Rinpoches really have magical powers.
Then Masha saw that a certain internet-famous Taoist temple started to take advantage of the popularity.
Ten minutes later, Masha came across a blog post in which a certain guru urgently added a Kaikaigu course to help people achieve enlightenment.
Fifteen minutes later, someone started selling Vajra Pills that were consecrated by a famous temple.
Thirty minutes later, the Qigong master began to perform telekinesis and shooting down a cow from a distance.
In addition to the performances of big Vs, there are also many passers-by claiming to have special abilities.
At this time, the official announcement of the World Government was released, detailing the characteristics and rules of the awakened ones.
For example, people born before XX year cannot awaken. Currently, the oldest awakened person confirmed is only 19 years old.
Then a bunch of pessimists emerged and said that the world was over and that the awakened naughty kids were going to destroy the world.
Some people are also questioning: "Why can only those under 19 years old awaken? Are they looking down on us 20-year-olds?"
Masha found this scene of chaos and chaos quite novel.
It feels like watching a monkey show.
Just then, someone called.
When Masha saw that it was the counselor's number, he picked up the phone.
"Hello, counselor, it's me. What's wrong?" he asked.
"You must come to school tomorrow. The school will distribute a, uh, superpower manual, and then a specialist will come to tell you how to deal with it after you discover that you have awakened superpowers."
Masha: "Oh, okay, I see. Anything else?"
The instructor was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Even if superpowers really begin to awaken on a large scale, everything you have accumulated in the past will not be in vain. And you are only 19 years old. As long as you don't stop..."
"Don't worry, instructor. My awakening is definitely the strongest one."
"Haha, it's good to have confidence. By the way, the foreign girls are with you too, let them know."
"Okay." Masha agreed with a smile.
The counselor hung up the phone on his own initiative.
Masha glanced at the league secretary beside him, who spread his hands and said, "I feel like you're going to play the pig and eat the tiger again tomorrow. How about changing your tactics this time and showing off your qualifications directly to make everyone envious and jealous?"
"If my ability is cool, I will definitely do this. But do you think my ability is cool now?"
"You can fly up with a bamboo dragonfly and perform a handstand poop in the air. This will definitely be cool enough to impress everyone."
Just as Masha was about to reply, the phone rang again.
He looked down and found that it was his mother calling.
Masha picked up the phone, and before she could even open her mouth, the other party asked, "Are you free to go home?"
"Well, we are quite busy here right now. After all, the super power awakening incident just happened. Let me take a look at the situation. What's wrong? What happened at home?" Masha asked curiously.
"Your dad," Mom paused, "was drafted."
"What?" Masha was shocked. "What does it mean to be called up?"
“That’s what it means literally.”
At this time, Masha heard his father's voice coming from the other side: "It's my turn. Hey, son, your dad is going to contribute his combat experience to the country again. Don't worry, the higher-ups know that your dad's body can't stand the stress of fighting on the front line. This time he's going back mainly to serve as a consultant."
"But why?" Masha asked knowingly.
Recruiting a veteran like Ma Zili at this time is clearly intended to cope with the full awakening.
"Don't pretend," Ma Zili said, "You are actually a person with super powers, right? So is Xunxun, that girl? This way, everything can be explained clearly. Remember the three rules your father made with you. First, you must not do anything that violates public order and good morals..."
"I remember it." Masha interrupted his father, "Dad, don't go. I'll talk to the higher-ups. Don't look at me like this. I'm quite powerful."
"No, we don't ask for special treatment. That's it."
After saying that, Ma Zili hung up the phone.
Masha held the phone with a complicated expression.
The league secretary patted him on the shoulder and said, "This kind of thing is bound to happen sooner or later, isn't it?"
——Yes, it will happen sooner or later.

I forgot to settle the bounty yesterday. No problem, I’ll settle the monthly tickets and razor blades I voted for today.
5032+35**, this is the blade + monthly ticket so far this month. I'll count it as a round number for you, 30 more chapters.
Last month’s bounty was 63 chapters, for a total of 93 chapters.
By the way, a bunch of you people are clamoring for me to take a break. You're kidding me, I haven't even taken a break yet. I update twice a day. I even lost the second place on the recommendation list and the second place on the monthly ticket list, and I'm still offering a monthly ticket bounty.
You can earn a little bit of data by working hard, but once you get sick, all is gone.
This business is so cruel.
