—But this is strange, very strange.
"That's right." M whispered, "This place is very strange."
Merlin: "What did you say?"
Ms. M shook her head. "No, it's nothing. I need more time to sort it out, and I need more intelligence. I now order the East German team to immediately find a way to track down the superpower who destroyed the hometown of East German agent Josephine."
"We don't know the real name of this Josephine..."
"Go watch the news!" Ms. M interrupted her subordinates. "Don't worry about the real name. The agent specifically mentioned the time so that Ying could watch the news. He is a person who can be locked on just by the news! If Ying takes action against that target, then Masha and Ying will be inseparable! Our next stage of work is..."
Merlin shook his head: "No, that's too arbitrary. Even if Ying accepted the so-called commission and eliminated Miss Josephine's enemies, it may be that Miss Josephine herself has some special value. This explanation is at least more reasonable than Masha being a big shot who can command Ying.
K said, "From our current judgment, Shadow is a huge organization with multiple action teams, and it has been dormant and preparing for a long time. Are you going to say that a teenager who is not even 19 years old established and directed this organization? Did he start his own business at the age of 9?"
Another agent, T, also nodded in agreement: "The Shadow Organization must have existed for quite a long time. I'm sure its leader is also an old man. Just like us."
Ms. M: "Watch your tone, T. Although I am not a penny-pincher, I think a gentleman should at least maintain basic etiquette in formal occasions."
"I'm sorry, please forgive me, Ms. M." T said in a cold tone.
"I didn't say that Masha can command Ying. What I want to say is that based on my assessment of Masha's character, he might do things like reuniting his companions who have been separated for half a year, and stand up for the girl he just met by chance. So if Ying accepted Josephine's commission, I think this at least shows that Masha has a considerable degree of influence on Ying."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. W spoke for everyone and said, "You do have a point. Although Masha is very young, he has special abilities and is a very smart and talented person. It is normal for him to have influence on the film industry."
T looked at Ms. M and asked, "What if Ying didn't take the job?"
"Then I agree that the roadside concert incident was an isolated incident."
Merlin, who had been silent for a while, said loudly: "Found it!"
"What?" Ms. M asked, frowning. "What did you find?"
"Josephine's enemy," Merlin posted an online news item in the VR conference room. "Look, there is only one person who meets all the requirements. His name is Maxim Rosenberg. He has just arrived at the Stasi's new training camp and is preparing to receive a year-long training."
"Keep an eye on him, and at the same time, strengthen the surveillance on Masha." Ms. M ordered decisively, "If there is nothing else, this temporary recollection ends here."
Everyone looked at each other, and then the virtual images disappeared one by one.
Finally, Merlin was the only one left in Ms. M's sight.
Merlin said: "I still don't think Masha is the mastermind behind the shadow. He just has some doubts and is full of mysteries, that's all."
"I understand. I just suspect that I can find out Ying's true identity from him."
"I agree with what you said. If nothing else, it would be good to know why Ying is interested in Masha."
"So we have to keep a close eye on that East German," Ms. M emphasized.
Merlin nodded, but then asked a question: "Ms. M, I can't help but wonder, if it was Gundam and Robocop who completed Miss Josephine's commission in the end, then how would we judge it?"
Ms. M was silent for a few seconds and then said, "That means my 'conditioned reflex' is wrong."
Ms. M emphasized by emphasizing that it was a conditioned reflex, not an intuition.

4** Looking for someone (Chapter )
"No doubt about it," Shelley looked at the newspaper that Masha and the others had bought. "This man is Maxim Rosenberg. The city that was burned down is XXXX Castle. It's actually a small town with a population of 5000 and a -year-old castle."
"Where is this person now?" asked Masha.
"They were sent to a training camp in the suburbs of East Berlin." Shelley directly opened the tablet, activated the map function, and quickly entered the coordinates. "I remember the locations of most superpower-related facilities in East Germany."
"I fully feel that you were once a professional and dedicated British agent," said Masha.
"I am now also a professional and dedicated agent."
"As a rebellious agent, you must often cut the rope in the dark area." Masha said again.
"What game is this about?" Shelley asked confusedly.
"The Division," Masha shrugged. "A game about a big boy or girl with a BB gun saving Peanuts DC."
The League Secretary interrupted Masha's jokes and popular science and asked: "Now we know where the people are, what's next?"
"Let's investigate first." Masha spread his hands. "Our goal is to punish only Maxim Rosenberg, so we must investigate thoroughly. By the time we have completed the investigation and formulated a plan, it will be almost sunset here, and we will start the action at night."
Masha did what he said. He opened a door to a nearby fast travel point based on the location marked by Shelley, and then drove to the place Shelley had painted - of course, he walked along the shadow of the earth.
After arriving, Masha discovered that it was a satellite city outside Berlin. There were basically no buildings higher than four stories in the city. It looked like an authentic European small town.
The new training camp is located on the west side of the town and is very easy to spot because it appears to be the only walled building.
To Masha, the wall was just a decoration. He easily got inside the wall and began to look for Maxim Rosenberg by looking at the photo in the newspaper.
League Secretary: "Wouldn't it be a bit inefficient to look for them one by one?"
"No, because I saw people doing drills on the playground. These are the East German troops, right?"
Cai Shi: "How can you understand it? What should we understand?"
"Many of our military traditions actually come from the German army, such as our German goose-stepping," Masha said. "I guess the training of new recruits in East Germany also starts with drill training, just like our army."
As expected of Masha, the son of the captain of the reconnaissance brigade, he is very familiar with military life.
As he spoke, he drove the car to the drill training ground and looked at the faces of the recruits one by one.
At this time, he found that there was a man in Soviet uniform supervising next to the playground, and that man had a strange armband.
Masha turned and drove directly up to the man and began to observe his armband, describing its structure to Shelley as he looked.
"They are the Soviet Union's special forces with super powers, and this person is a super-powered person." Shelley said firmly.
"The young man next to him in East German military uniform has the armband..." Masha described the young East German soldier's armband again.
Shelley: "They are soldiers from the East German Rapid Reaction Brigade, which is also a unit equipped with people with super powers."
Masha understood by now.
The people with super powers at the scene are here to provide support, and the guys near them who are wearing the same clothes as the recruits are probably "assistants" selected from the recruits to help with management, and most of them are also people with super powers.
After all, this is the lair of people with super powers. The administrators and instructors are not people with super powers, so they may not be able to deter the new recruits - especially since there are villains here who once destroyed a small town.
Instructors and the like must be tough guys to be able to keep the situation under control.
Masha looked at the Soviet soldier with super powers. The Soviet soldier looked old. Masha always felt that he was in his 20s or almost 30.
——Is he an SSS-rank? In this kind of situation, only an SSS-rank person can calm down, right?
——Damn, I really want to sacrifice him!
——But maybe he hasn’t done anything harmful, so let it go.
Masha decided to put aside the issue of how to deal with this "nest" of super-powered people for the time being and concentrate on finding Maxim.
He walked around the playground, carefully looking at each team.
Finally, he saw Maxim Rosenberg in the team training at the north corner of the playground.
——Sure enough, he had to participate in queue training when he just joined the training camp.
"Found it." Masha said to the girls.
The league secretary rolled up his sleeves and asked, "How do we do this?"
"Don't worry. There are at least two or three hundred superpowered people outside, and there may be SSS-level people guarding the place. We definitely can't force this. Let's observe for a while and wait until dark."
With that, Masha started the car again, drove around the playground, and memorized the locations of the cameras.
Chihiro: "Two or three hundred people with super powers is that exaggerated? It's just a training camp."
Shelley shrugged. "After all, the Soviet Union was the first region to experience a full-scale awakening. There are only two training centers like this in the entire East Germany, responsible for educating and training newly awakened espers. Two or three hundred people are probably not all of them. There should also be 'senior students'."
Qianxun murmured: "I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. Even if most of the awakened ones are small fry like C..."
Hongye: "Do you have any opinion on the trash fish?"
"No, Hongye, your skills are very useful to us! And Guigui, don't lose heart! What I mean is, even if most of these awakened ones are C-level with little combat power, with so many people, there should be a considerable number of A-levels and a small number of S-levels, right? In comparison, awakening an S-level in our region is like celebrating the New Year."
"Really?" Masha said in surprise, "I don't think so."
"You are a singularity!" Qianxun rolled her eyes, and then continued her previous train of thought, "If this continues, we will have a temporary gap in the number and quality of superpowers, I mean, with the Soviet Union."
Masha: "I know. This is a matter of course. That's why I said that I will use the Nine Cauldrons to balance and regulate the progress of awakening according to needs. For example, in a few days we can take out both cauldrons and find a place to store them in the Soviet Union for two days."
The league secretary shook his head vigorously: "No, no, when Qianxun and I went to punish evil and promote good, we saw too many tragic scenes. If you ask me to choose, I would rather have fewer superpowers and put overall quality first."
Masha shrugged.
At this time, the loudspeaker in the military camp began to play the military bugle call.
Several square formations on the playground immediately began to line up, apparently preparing to end the exercise.
Masha decisively stopped looking for the camera, drove to Maxim's team, stared at him, and tried to find out his dormitory.
——It must be the first floor, it is the first floor, it is the first floor!
Masha prayed repeatedly.

It’s noon, time to vote!
The next reminder to vote will be in 12 hours, so please don't watch it for now~ I hope you enjoy watching~
Chapter 490 Yes, I did it myself again (Update )
It turned out that Masha was worrying too much. Although there were buildings in the yard, the barracks for the recruits looked like vegetable greenhouses, and a row of such "greenhouses" could be seen from a distance.
It doesn’t have a second floor - oh no, there is a second floor, there must be an attic on the roof.
As Masha thought this, he walked through the wall into the barracks where Maxim lived.
After the recruits entered the room, the instructor shouted a short command, and the recruits then dispersed and walked towards their beds.
Masha remembered the position of Maxim's bed and the cameras in the room. When he was about to leave to find other cameras, he saw several strong men blocking Maxim's bed.
——Oh? Could it be... a plot about fitness?
Masha turned back from the door and watched the development of the situation.
But I don't understand German.
Masha noticed that the man in the lead took out a newspaper and slapped it on Maxim's face.
Marsha recognized it as the newspaper they had just bought for Shelley to read the news.
A group of strong men began to push Maxim, and the situation became very exciting.
——Could it be that this guy was besieged by his fellow recruits because of the massacre in the city?
——The other recruits are actually good people with a basic sense of good and evil and justice?
As soon as Masha had this thought, he realized that it was wrong to think so.
——This is a new training camp. Probably a considerable number of people coming here are young people with aspirations who have awakened and volunteered to join the army to shoulder social responsibilities.
——Just like classmate Chen.
——So it is normal that a criminal who massacred a city is not welcome here.
Maybe it was because his qualifications were not as good as those of the strong men who came to enforce justice, but Maxim lowered his head and allowed himself to be pushed around without saying a word.
The sturdy man at the beginning - no, the hero was very dissatisfied with Maxim's silence and slapped Maxim in the face.
Maxim finally couldn't bear it anymore, he roared angrily, and everyone seemed to be waiting for him to resist, and immediately went up to punch and kick him.
At this time, Masha noticed that the instructors were actually outside the door, but they just watched what was happening inside the door and did not come in to stop it.
—What? The people of this country are pretty good, aren’t they? Comrade Josephine, you may be disappointed with it too early.
——It’s a pity that I can’t record this, otherwise I could show it to Josephine later, and maybe it would have some special effect.
