Yuri Vladimievich asked: "I read the report and many people speculated that they are trying to stop people with super powers from harming ordinary people?"
"It just looks that way," Antonov stroked his bald head. "I think they are arresting people with super powers with a purpose and plan. I think the World Government will have the same view."
Yuri threw the pen in his hand onto the table: "Isn't that the same as the shadow wanted worldwide by the World Government?"
"Yes." Antonov nodded. "Johnny, the American think tank, speculated that the organizations to which Shadow and Gundam belonged might be two branches of the same secret society. It's not surprising that they took the same action."
"They forcibly captured so many people with super powers. Do they have a method to brainwash them stably and efficiently?" Vladimievich said. After all, he was also from the KGB, and he knew how complicated the KGB's brainwashing process based on modern psychology was, so it was impossible to rely on this process to transform all people with super powers into obedient fighting forces.
"I don't know, Comrade Vladimievich, it could be a sacrifice," said Antonov.
"Sacrifice?"
"Yes, sacrifice was a very common activity in the mythological era. Every country has legends of sacrificing living people to gods and monsters. So our experts who specialize in mythological history believe that the shadows and... this mysterious organization, which originated from the same secret society, are both performing sacrifices to gain power."
Yuri Vladimievich frowned and thought.
——If it is a sacrifice, it may be used to seek benefits for the Soviet region.
"Comrade Antonov, you should focus your main energy on clarifying this matter, and leave the collection of intelligence on the Jews to the military intelligence agencies."
"Understood, Comrade Vladimievich. We are planning an ambush, taking advantage of the fact that they will hunt down criminals with super powers in areas where our forces are weak and difficult to control, and setting a trap."
"Very good," Yuri Vladimievich clapped his hands, "When will it be carried out?"
"Based on their activity patterns yesterday and the day before yesterday, we infer that they will continue their actions in 10 hours, possibly in any remote area of the Soviet Union. Once we detect unrecognizable SSS-level fluctuations and locate their position, we will deploy."
"Okay!" Yuri Vladimievich nodded, "I look forward to your results."
**
"It's a sacrifice." Johnny said suddenly as he looked at the latest situation briefing.
"What?" Ben was still immersed in the previous topic they were talking about and didn't follow Johnny's thoughts.
Johnny: "It's a sacrifice. The opposing organization of Shadow and Shadow is sacrificing a superpowered person."
"Where's the evidence?"
"Not yet, I'm just guessing. I always thought that Shadow captured psychics to increase their combat power, but you see, now it's certain that the first person they captured was Vietnam, the psychic who uses fire, but up to now, we haven't confirmed any traces of this psychic in Shadow's activities."
"Maybe his training isn't finished yet?" Ben suggested a possibility.
"That's possible, but my intuition tells me that it's a sacrifice. The difference between the Shadow Organization and the organization to which Gundam belongs is that the Shadow Organization obviously makes selective sacrifices, while the Gundam organization indiscriminately captures and sacrifices any superpower who commits a crime.
"This is the only way to explain why there are both S-rank and B-rank people among those captured, and their abilities are also varied. Because it doesn't matter at all. The secret society behind 'Gundam' doesn't care about the qualifications of the captured esper, nor what type of abilities they have awakened."
Ben: "Because these are sacrifices!"
"Yes, Oriental people still offer pigs and chickens as tributes during sacrifices. They obviously don't consider the taste when choosing the tributes."
Although Johnny's metaphor was a little subtle, Ben nodded. "That makes sense. So, the shadow raiders stole a lot of information from Strasbourg because they choose the taste of the tribute?"
Johnny snapped his fingers.
"The question now is what is the purpose of their sacrifice."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ben suddenly said, "Could it be that it is to make the tripod effective again?"
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became cold.
Johnny and Ben looked at each other and fell silent.
After a while, Johnny said, "It's possible. Why didn't I think of it before? The tripods might have been made by the Chinese, so the Chinese probably also knew how to restore their effects. Oh, now I remember that ancient Chinese dynasties had the custom of recasting the Nine Tripods to demonstrate royal power. Maybe this is the result of a custom passed down from the mythological era."
Ben: "The reason why Ying and his fellow disciples split up is worth pondering. Could it be that one of them wanted to recast the Nine Cauldrons, while the other had other plans?"
Johnny snapped his fingers, "You have a point! This is very likely the case. You are worthy of being my partner!"

Chapter 466: The Various Changes of Xiaobaiquan (Part )
That night, after Masha's maid shop closed, he used the magic door to enter the Planet Wonderland and began to explain to Baiquan what to do and how to do it.
Bai Quan pouted and questioned, "So we can't see the outside world for most of the journey? I can only stay in the car world and play games in Wonderland? How can that be possible! It doesn't feel like I'm going out to play at all! I want to see the scenery! I want to see the streets of England and the White Cliffs of Dover!"
"You know the White Cliffs of Dover?"
"Of course I know. It's a natural wonder that occupies two squares!"
——"Civilization"!
"But if we drive directly on the road, we will probably be recognized. After all, this car has been parked in my garage for so long." Masha shrugged, and suddenly an idea flashed through Masha's mind, "Baiquan, can you try to see if you can change my car into a different appearance? If you can do it, we can directly pass through the English Channel tunnel in the real world and land in the UK."
Baiquan nodded: "Okay, I'll try it."
So Masha led Baiquan out of the world in the car, and asked all his sisters to move to the fairyland - to avoid any strange accidents when Baiquan used his abilities.
In addition, Masha also asked the league secretary to activate the ability shielding detection first - Masha was too lazy to think about how to explain to the office with a long name why his family had emitted unregistered superpower fluctuations again.
Baiquan put his hand on the cart and made a constipated sound: "Hmm~ Na~"
The car didn't move at all, nothing changed.
Baiquan: "It can't change."
——Give up so quickly!
But another thought flashed through Masha's mind!
"Then why don't you try to transform the car yourself?" said Masha.
Baiquan: "Okay!"
As she spoke, she closed her eyes. This time no sound came out, but there was a puff of smoke.
Masha glanced at Shelley, and the latter's expression told him that Baiquan had not run away and was still in the smoke.
The smoke dissipated in an instant, and a car about the same size as a toy car driven by a four or five-year-old child appeared where Bai Quan had just stood.
Chihiro and the league secretary both laughed loudly, and Chihiro slapped her thigh while laughing.
Baiquan changed back and glared at the two people who were laughing wildly, with an unhappy look on his face.
"It's just a little smaller!" she said.
"How can it be smaller?" Masha was in scientific exploration mode, "When you changed into someone else before, I didn't see you obeying the law of conservation of mass, because I was holding you at that time, and you did become heavier when you became a big sister with a good figure."
Cai Shi: "Can she become a big sister with a good figure?"
"Yeah, you can even turn into anime characters."
After Masha finished speaking, Cai Shi's eyes lit up immediately. She took out her cell phone, opened Arknights, and showed her secretary to the little girl: "Come on, turn into this and say 'Can Texas do it?'"
Are you a doctor too?
Cai Shi: "I kind of want my dad to invest in Hypergryph and release a skin for Lappland."
--Hello!
——However, as long as you also make a nice skin for my invincible Charmander Ifrit, I will allow your random actions!
The little girl glanced at the screen of Cai Shi's mobile phone, and then transformed with a bang. Maybe she was worried about being laughed at for the small car she just transformed, so the Lappland she transformed this time was a giant, with a head that could touch the ceiling of the garage.
The giant Lappland spread his hands and said, "Can Texas do this?"
——I can’t do it. You are the strongest, Lapland.
At this moment, Masha had another flash of inspiration.
——If you turn into a car, you will become smaller, but if you turn into a Lappland, you can become a giant two meters and five meters tall. Does this mean that the key difference lies in whether it is an organic or inorganic body?
Masha: "Baiquan, turn yourself into a Totoro bus."
All the girls turned to look at Masha with surprise.
Baiquan: "Can Texas do it?"
"Alright, hurry up. Don't tell me that as a Japanese kid, you haven't seen My Neighbor Totoro."
Baiquan recovered and said, "I've seen the animated movie, but I've never seen the real Totoro. Ah, last time I went to the Ghibli Museum, I saw the staff dressed up as Totoro in puppet costumes."
"Okay, change quickly." Masha urged again.
Bai Quan closed his eyes, and with a bang, the next moment everyone was pushed away from where they were originally standing by the furry thing.
Masala drove away and took a look. Wow, it really was a Totoro bus. We could ride it!
Qianxun was squeezed and fell on her buttocks. Now she sat on the ground, looking at the big striped cat in front of her, and she opened her mouth to sing: "Doudoulong, Doudoulong~"
It seemed that Baiquan was also very happy after the transformation was successful. She turned her head to look at Masha, and then her voice went directly into Masha's ears: "Look, it's the Totoro Bus! I turned into the Totoro Bus!"
Maybe because the mouth of Totoro Bus is always smiling, Baiquan's voice can only be made through other methods.
Masha was thinking about other things at this time.
——The Totoro Bus is a vehicle, right?
Then Masha confirmed that Char's special Zaku Commander-type pendant was hanging on her mobile phone, and then put her hand on the leg of Totoro Bus.
Just as the idea of controlling the Totoro Bus came into Masha's mind, the pendant fell off his phone.
Masha picked up the pendant and found that the rope was not damaged, so he put it on the phone again and tried again.
But the ornament still fell off.
——So, you can’t control a vehicle with autonomous consciousness?
Masha decided to make another attempt. He put away the pendant, held down the legs of the Totoro Bus, and gave the order to the car to move the host.
Baiquan: "Ah, it feels a bit weird."
Masha simply opened the door of the Totoro Bus, entered the car and looked back - that's right, the world in the car was transferred to the Totoro Bus.
Bai Quan: "Hahaha, you're in my stomach, go and regret it! Ah, weird, why can't I change back?"
"Have you ever considered that if you transform back while I'm in your stomach, you'll explode and die?" Masha asked back, while silently remembering in his heart: Baiquan may not be able to transform when being hosted by Xiaocheche.
It's just a possibility. God knows whether this kid with a natural IQ of 21 is lying.
——If her loyalty cannot be guaranteed, I certainly can't increase this kid's intelligence.
Masha: "Baiquan, can you make it so that outsiders can't see my face?"
"let me try."
As soon as he finished speaking, the windows of the Totoro Bus were equipped with tinted glass.
Masha stood behind a window and shouted to the people outside the car: "Can you see me?"
"I can't see it." Several girls answered together.
"Very good. Baiquan, you will run through the English Channel tunnel like this later."
"Red bean paste? (Really?)"
"Really, really, you can make as much noise as you want. Just remember not to knock the leaves off your head."
Masha guessed that the leaf could only be removed by something with a human soul, but he still gave a reminder just in case.
"In addition, keep the outside unable to see inside the whole process. If my face and my family's face appear on social media in Britain and France tomorrow, you will be locked in the planet wonderland forever," Masha added.
——Of course, we can’t put all the pressure on Baiquan’s loyalty.
"To be on the safe side, let's dress up." Masha said to the girls as he got off the Totoro bus.

It's twelve o'clock! Time to vote!
To be honest, it’s quite a headache to figure out how to ask for votes after each chapter.
I guess I will soon suffer from ticket-seeking syndrome just like I suffer from naming syndrome.
It is updated every day. The hardest part is "How can I ask for votes for this chapter?"
