"Oh."
Shelley stared at the two, then bent down and examined the washboard below Baiquan's knees.
"This is a real washboard. I saw you guys were having so much fun, I thought it was an inflatable one."
"What do you mean?" Masha asked in a serious tone, "Do you suspect that Baiquan and I are colluding to deceive you?"
"I think that based on the chemistry you two just showed, it's very likely that you would do this. By the way, since you two are so compatible, why do you have to keep her in the store during the day? Why don't you just take her out with you?"
Masha and Baiquan looked at each other.
Baiquan: "I think what Sister Shelley said makes a lot of sense."

It's a new day. Although the normal update rhythm has been disrupted by all kinds of shit, it's finally back to normal!
It's a new day, vote, vote!
Now that the number of daily tickets has been reduced to 6000, people are telling me that my package has expired again!
Have pity on me because I can’t use the tens of thousands of words I have saved because of the 515 revisions!
I will come again to remind everyone to vote at 7:30 tomorrow morning.
Chapter 520 This chapter number... (Second update)
Anyway, Baiquan thinks that whoever benefits her is right. This little guy is smart and despicable, and has no principles at all.
Masha thought, do other people feel the same way about me?
Masha suddenly realized how she looked in the eyes of others.
At this moment, Masha's cell phone suddenly rang.
He turned on the screen and saw that it was Qi Xiangwen calling.
"Hello, Director Qi, what's the matter?" Masha asked puzzledly after answering the phone.
"The Americans have sent us a request for the temporary dispatch of high-level superpowers, hoping to temporarily dispatch 'Iron Master' Johnny and 'Dr. Hyde' Ben to Yuezhou to conduct an on-site investigation of the abnormal phenomena that have just occurred in Yuezhou."
Masha was shocked - but this was done for Director Qi to hear.
He had anticipated from the beginning that the God's Land would attract other super-powered people to conduct on-site investigations, so he was very careful when burying the core of the God's Land, and tried his best to remove all traces.
It was impossible not to do the experiment. If it was done, it would definitely attract attention. After weighing the pros and cons, Masha chose to satisfy his desire for exploration, and he was also fully prepared for the consequences.
So he was very calm.
——Master Iron and Dr. Hyde, they should be the prototypes of Iron Man and the Hulk. In fact, I would like to know the prototypes of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange.
For some reason, Masha has a much higher favorability towards the new version of Spider-Man Peter Parker and Doctor Strange than other Marvel heroes.
Masha had no intention of taking action against the American SSS-class. In fact, he just wanted to get to know them.
Although Kage member Hayashi Chihiro bombarded them with an orbital cannon, turning their companion "Chief Engineer" who was with them at the time into a vegetable and there is no hope of recovery now, but what is the relationship between Kage member Hayashi Chihiro and his Masha's childhood sweetheart Hayashi Chihiro?
It doesn’t matter at all!
Even though these two are the same person, we should still treat them separately, right?
Similarly, the order to open fire was given by the leader of the Shadows, Dr. Shadow. What does it have to do with Masha, the King in Yellow?
Even though these two are the same person, we should keep them separate, right?
——I, the Yellow King Masha, want to make friends with SSS-level esper users other than members of terrorist organizations such as Ying and Salamandra.
——I, Masha, the King in Yellow, want to make as many friends as possible.
——Of course, if it’s a girl, we should make the relationship more than just friends.
After all, that's the only way to get the attribute medicine.
At this stage, I haven't found a way to directly use spiritual energy to improve my attribute values, so I can only take attribute medicine, which is called the mortal flow.
So Masha said to Qi Xiangwen: "Okay, it's good for them to come. I have long wanted to meet the prototypes of Iron Man and the Hulk. It would be best if you could send the prototype of Spider-Man as well."
"The Americans don't dare to send so many SSS-level superpowers here at once. If they are all instigated to rebel, they will have nowhere to cry. Accurate intelligence shows that Johnny and Ben both strongly requested to come here, and the US government almost disagreed." Qi Xiangwen said.
Masha was very interested in the source of this "accurate information", but he knew that even Qi Xiangwen might not know the identity of this mole, so it would be useless to ask.
Anyway, the "accurate intelligence" regarding SSS-level movements is probably provided by the highest-level moles.
Marsha said, "Well, it would be nice to meet Iron Man and Ben."
"They both awakened earlier and are both top students. Now both of them have degrees from prestigious universities. Please don't embarrass us Chinese top students."
Masha: "No, compared to them, I am just a poor student."
Masha is not Chihiro, he is just telling the truth. They are both 19 years old. The other person has a master's degree from MIT. Compared with her, Masha is indeed a poor student.
——However, now I have made a further step in the study of Reiki Science.
——No, I should say that I am the founder of Reiki science!
——I cannot make my research results public now, I will be able to make them public in the future. Humph, a mere master's or doctoral degree from MIT is nothing but trash in front of the founder of my discipline.
Player Masha obtained a temporary BUFF of "Increases enthusiasm for spiritual research by 100%".
"So," Masha asked Qi Xiangwen, "when will these two arrive?"
"Even if they board a plane right away, it will take 20 hours to fly here. However, Johnny has a pilot's license, so maybe he can fly a two-seater fighter directly over here."
"Impossible. Dr. Hyde is too big to fit into the cockpit of a fighter jet," said Masha.
He hasn't seen the prototype, but he has seen the Hulk.
Qi Xiangwen: "What you said makes sense. By the way, I have sent you the information of these two people. Once we have planned their itinerary, I will also send it to you."
"Understood. Call me when they arrive."
"Okay, then you can continue to run your store. Your store is a good window for the public to get to know and become familiar with superpowers. You should make good use of it."
"You can just make a missionary film about the situation in Eastern Europe and broadcast it everywhere. I think the effect will be better." Masha said seriously.
"We are already doing it, but what we are worried about is not that the public is not aware of the dangers of people with super powers. What we are worried about is that after witnessing the tragic situation, the general public will start to hate people with super powers."
Qi Xiangwen paused and continued.
"At this stage, except for a few physically enhanced superpowers, most superpowers will die if shot in the head, or if stabbed in the heart by a knife. Ordinary people can easily kill superpowers if they are caught off guard. Don't you like watching anime? Have you seen the Japanese anime "A New World"?"
"I've seen it, and I quite like the heroine. What's wrong?"
"That was created by an artist under the supervision of Japan's supernatural power management agency. Do you understand what I mean?"
Masha didn't understand at first, but after Qi Xiangwen's reminder, he understood everything at once.
The entire background setting of the movie "A New World" is like this: super powers suddenly awaken in modern society, and then powerful super-powered people begin to act recklessly, causing huge casualties and leading to a sharp decline in population.
Then the world gradually evolved into empires ruled by powerful people with super powers, and the emperors of the empires enslaved the powerless people at will.
However, despite the establishment of the empire, there would still be occasional incidents of powerful people with super powers acting recklessly due to evil thoughts. For the sake of social order, scientists began to add a mechanism into the genes of people with super powers that would cause breathing difficulties and sudden death if they killed someone, in order to restrict people with super powers from attacking their own kind.
But this would mean that people with super powers would not be able to attack ordinary people, which would lead to the collapse of the empire's rule. So the scientists with super powers combined the genes of ordinary people and mice, turning them into a completely different species from humans, avoiding the restriction mechanism in the genes and allowing the super powers to still rule the "mice" with force.
Now that spiritual energy has revived, Masha recalled the background setting of this work and suddenly felt creepy.
However, this is the background setting. This story is set in the future long, long after this background. In the story, ordinary people who were turned into rat-like creatures rebelled against the super-powered people through technology and strategies. Although they failed in the end, they were so close to success.
The reason for the failure was probably because there were no Dimension Guns and Ratlings, otherwise, the Skaven would definitely be able to overturn those human things.
After a brief silence, he said to Qi Xiangwen: "I will not let my fantasy of the future in the new world come true."
"I hope so. Well, I have said enough. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Director Qi."
The phone hangs up.

Chapter 521 Mirage (Part )
That night, Masha continued to travel to Egypt with confidence.
"Is this really okay? We're about to face off against a powerful enemy we've predicted. Is it okay if we don't prepare?" Xue Jianmei asked doubtfully. Among all the girls following Masha, Xue Jianmei was the only one who would say such a thing.
The other girls are used to assuming that "since Masha does it this way, there must be no problem."
Masha shrugged: "You are wrong, Sister Xue, that is not a strong enemy, but a friend!"
Xue Jianmei's eyes widened: "Are you, are you a friend?"
"Of course we are friends. We both work for the World Government, are both committed to studying the truth of the revival of spiritual energy, are both committed to maintaining world peace, and are both hostile to the Shadow, so, of course, we are friends!"
Xue Jianmei was stunned.
"Are you...kidding me?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Masha said seriously.
He was really serious, he was really prepared to be friends with Johnny and to be Johnny's enemy, that was Shadow.
By the way, Masha has always liked the Joker in the DC comic universe. He is actually a character pretended by Batman's butler in order to ensure that Batman always has an opponent and does not get lost.
——Isn’t that very exciting?
However, Johnny probably wouldn't trust Masha easily, so Masha came up with a brilliant plan.
This plan can prove to Johnny that Masha has no connection with Shadow, while also preventing Johnny from discovering the core of God's Land.
The key is that this plan is very simple. The simpler the plan, the less likely it is to go wrong.
Because he had already made a plan, Masha didn't worry about Master Tie at all and went straight to Egypt.
Xue Jianmei still looked worried: "I know you are always confident, Masha, but you lost marks more than once in the cram school because of carelessness. Losing marks on the test paper is a small matter, but if there is any mistake in this, it will be a big trouble, right?"
When they were in the cram school, Xue Jianmei often sat next to Masha, so the two of them would take turns marking the quizzes in class. Whenever Masha lost points due to carelessness, Xue Jianmei would scold him.
Cai Shi listened to Xue Jianmei's words and bit her finger: "I feel like my status is even lower than that of ordinary Senior Sister Xue."
"How could that be?" Masha hurried to comfort Cai Shi, "Look, you and I have a deeper bond. The bond that comes from rolling in bed is deeper after all."
“Why can’t I feel it?”
"Then I'll let you feel it after I come back from Egypt tonight," Masha said with a smile, then turned to Xue Jianmei, "Capturing Cleopatra is of great importance. That guy's restrictions on our freedom of movement are too obvious. We can't let her stay with the World Government. Even if we can't develop her into a companion, we must at least capture her and lock her up in Wonderland."
League Secretary: "Why do I feel that you actually think you can definitely develop her into a companion?"
"Not necessarily, but very likely. She actually saw through me yesterday, but apparently she didn't report it to her superiors. I don't think she has a very good impression of Britain and the United States."
"What about the possibility of a trap?"
"Unless the Americans can foresee that we will suddenly go to Egypt, it is unlikely to be a trap."
“They should have guessed we were going to Burundi, right?”
"Yes, but they can't guess how we're going to go. Remember, from the perspective of the World Government, Shadow can't have military horses, after all, the military horses are in the hands of the King in Yellow. So even if the Americans guessed that Shadow's next move was Burundi, they wouldn't set a trap that was only effective for ground movement.
"What if we flew over there by plane? Or if we teleported directly over there, wouldn't their trick be in vain?"
"That's true."
The League Secretary nodded, obviously convinced.
"So we're going to rush directly into the enemy's secret base now?"
"No, I plan to wait for the sun to set over there. There are still several hours left. Let's go south first, and then come back to catch Cleopatra when the time is right."
Cai Shi: "Brother, your statement is just like saying you're going to catch a Pokémon."
"Yes, that's it, the beautiful girl Pokémon 'Cleopatra', there's nothing wrong with that."
"Then did you bring the Master Ball?" Chihiro asked, "You won't forget that you had terrible luck catching Pokémon when you were playing Pokémon, and they often escaped, right?"
Just as Masha was about to answer, he saw the road extending out of the fertile land along the Nile and beginning to run through the desert.
There is no way there would be any cameras in a place like this. Although there is a possibility of being photographed by a drone, all we have to do is let Shelley sit on the roof of the van to conduct air surveillance.
