But the next moment, Johnny also did something that Masha didn't expect.
He asked, “So, when you created that vision, you didn’t know its specific function, right?”
Masha was a little shaken for a moment, but he immediately realized that the other party was just trying to trick him.
Masha laughed and said, "If I really had this kind of power, don't you think my superpowers have too many functions?"
"What we have observed so far is that a person with super powers only has one ability, but the process of scientific discovery is the process of constantly overturning existing conclusions. If someone tells me now that a person can have more than one super power, I will not be surprised at all."
Masha nodded: "I don't think everyone can only have one superpower, because if that happens, the system would be too boring. I prefer a combination of skills."
Masha's remarks, which were meant to reflect her "gamer" personality, made Johnny laugh. "You're right. I also like games with more skill combinations. It's really boring for each person to have one skill. It turns out that we have a lot in common."
Johnny sighed and said with a regretful expression: "It's a pity, something happened in Egypt, I have to leave for Egypt immediately."
Masha: "What else could possibly happen in Egypt? Could it be that the Pharaoh has been resurrected?"
"Yes, the Pharaoh has been resurrected." Johnny was surprised. "You didn't know about this? Such an interesting thing, but the Greater China Region didn't inform you?"
Masha shrugged: "In fact, they did report it. I was just joking on purpose. So, Mr. Iron Master, are you going to Egypt to have a head-on confrontation with Ying?"
"Yes. Why, do you want me to help give Ying a message?"
Masha smiled and said, "Okay, tell the leader of the Shadow for me that the King in Yellow will not let his plot succeed."
——You never expected it, Johnny, this move is called fighting with both hands, you haven’t seen it before, right?

Today's goal is still to challenge ten updates.
You can vote or not, I will challenge myself to write ten chapters anyway.
Chapter 560 My Door is Always Open (Part )
Johnny: "Many survivors of Shadow's attacks have said that the Shadow members mentioned 'Doctor' in their conversations. We speculate that this person is the leader of Shadow. So, do you want to stop the Doctor's plan?"
"Yes." Masha paused and added to himself, "So he calls himself a doctor..."
According to the setting, Masha only now knows that the leader of the shadow calls himself the doctor, so he has to act more realistically.
"Do I suppose there is any chance that you will be in Egypt to-night?" Johnny asked again.
"Unfortunately, with the means of transportation I have now, I probably can't get there so quickly." Masha said with regret, "So this time it will be up to you and the United States to stop him. Of course, the vigilantes won't just sit there and watch."
Johnny looked at Masha: "It sounds like the vigilantes and you are in an alliance?"
"The conditions they proposed are not attractive enough." Masha still had a regretful expression on his face. His setting was that he, Ying and the vigilante were in a state similar to the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, but this kind of thing could not be said explicitly, and he had to guide others to come to this conclusion themselves.
——It would be interesting if, in the end, there is a great battle between justice and evil in this world and I am the leader of both sides.
This time, Masha restrained himself from laughing.
"The principles of the vigilantes determine that they are naturally not on the same side as Ying." Masha continued, "They will chase Ying like you. It's a pity that their sense of justice will hold them back."
He was completely improvising. The general direction had been decided, so he just had to talk nonsense in this direction seriously.
Ben: "From what I've heard so far, I get the feeling that you're very familiar with the Vigilante and Shadow? But you've only been awakened for half a year. Could it be that you had any connection with them before you awakened?"
Masha: "No, it's just that some things can be understood after just one face-to-face chat, not half a year."
——Actually, it can’t. As the old saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles tests the strength of a horse; time reveals a person’s true character.” The impression you get from just one meeting is definitely inaccurate.
——However, as a high school student, I am pretending to say these things, which is in line with my personality.
Masha saw Ben and Johnny looking at each other, and he suddenly became very curious and wanted to know what these two thought about his nonsense.
——After they leave, I will drive my car to eavesdrop.
Johnny said, "Since Mr. Ma knows so much about the Shadow and the Vigilante, I wonder if you could tell us what their purpose is?"
Masha noticed that Johnny, who had always called himself "The King in Yellow", used the name "Mr. Ma" this time.
This probably means that he lowered his posture a little.
——It seems that my pretense and nonsense are still useful.
"I don't know what Ying is going to do." Masha said. He really didn't know because he hadn't thought it through. But it would be uncool to say it here, so he paused and said mysteriously, "But the vigilante mentioned the so-called 'great return' in a veiled way. I don't know what it means."
——Oh, great return, this word is good, it is decided so happily, the purpose of the film is the great return!
Johnny said seriously, "The Great Return? It sounds like it's closely related to the resurrection of the Pharaoh."
——No, you're overthinking it, I just thought of this word.
——But you are right! The resurrection of the Pharaoh is part of the great return!
——Anyway, after I get the Pharaoh’s mummy, you’ll probably see the Pharaoh appearing around the world often.
Ben also looked serious: "If this is what Ying wants... Britain just fished out what is suspected to be the legendary Sword of King Arthur from the Lake..."
——Oh, yes, these two can be linked together.
——Yes, this is also part of the great comeback!
But Masha said seriously: "King Arthur's time is too late. It is already the end of the Dharma era. I guess it is impossible to bring King Arthur back."
Johnny: "You really do know a lot of things, Your Excellency the King in Yellow."
"These things can be known with just a little bit of reasoning, right?" Masha asked in return. "The myths and legends of the four ancient countries generally happened before 2000 BC, and the legend of King Arthur - humph, in terms of age, it can't even be called a legend. It can only be regarded as a part of early medieval history. The reason why it became a legend is simply because the history of reliable history in the Western world is too short, that's all."
Masha activated the skill "Contempt of Ancient Civilization".
Johnny nodded. "You are right. However, according to the legend of King Arthur, this sword should have been forged by elves in Avalon. Now that it is glowing again, I am afraid that the guy who made it really belongs to the mythological era."
"Yes." Masha nodded, "So maybe the one who will return is the swordsmith."
Ben: "Is Ying planning to bring back the gods?"
——No, Ying will probably just become the new god himself.
Masha looked serious and did not express his opinion.
Johnny stared at Masha, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly he said, "I heard that there was a female KGB spy who wanted to pass a message to Ying through you, entrusting them to avenge her, but in the end it was the vigilante who helped her avenge."
"That's true." Masha nodded, "But I didn't tell anyone."
——Because I am a shadow and a vigilante, I don’t need to pass messages to myself.
Johnny smiled.
"Then I won't ask you to pass the message to the vigilante. By the way, I heard that the CIA found an SSS-level psychic in Egypt. Her ability is quite special. It might bring some trouble to the vigilante and the Kage."
Masha immediately thought of Cleopatra.
——The ability to see me hiding in the shadow of the earth is indeed special enough.
Johnny took a deep breath: "Okay, I think this is enough for this conversation..."
"Are you leaving now?" Masha said reluctantly, "Don't you want to visit the world in my car?"
"I'm really interested, but I have to catch a flight to Egypt," Johnny checked his watch, "If I take off now, I'll arrive around noon tomorrow."
"Didn't America provide you with some faster means of transportation?" Masha asked, "At this speed, it might be difficult to catch up with Ying."
Johnny smiled at Masha and said, "Don't worry, I will catch up with you, Your Excellency the King in Yellow."
"Good luck to you then," said Masha, and again extended his hand to Johnny.
This time Johnny immediately shook his hand.
"Goodbye."
After the handshake, Johnny decisively turned and walked towards the store door.
Ben also stepped forward and shook hands with Masha.
"After I finish my work in Egypt, I may come back to study the magical phenomena in the orchard," the big guy said with a smile, "and then I may have to trouble you again."
"Come on, don't be polite to me. My door is always open to friends." Masha said sincerely.
----
Some people may say that since it is updated at this time again, there shouldn’t be ten updates today.
Well, you have to think about it this way. If I fail the challenge today, for example, there are only six or seven updates today, I will challenge again tomorrow.
If I succeed in the challenge today, I might be able to finish the two guaranteed updates tomorrow.
Chapter 561 Your idea is very good. Now he is mine (Part )
As soon as Johnny and the others left, Masha returned to the car with a calm face, then immediately drove the car into the shadow of the earth and chased out to see what Johnny and the others were talking about.
Unexpectedly, Johnny and the others were quite cautious and didn't speak until they got in the car.
Unfortunately, Masha was able to see through the model, and Masha heard everything they said next clearly.
"This guy seems to know a lot of things." Johnny frowned and said, "Cunning Chinese. He must have some kind of agreement with the vigilantes."
Masha tried hard to hold back his laughter, but finally burst out laughing.
——I am the King in Yellow. I have received professional training and I will never laugh unless I can’t help it!
——Well, actually I haven’t received that kind of training.
After listening to Johnny's words, Ben nodded: "I'm afraid that the senior executives in Greater China also have some connection with the Vigilantes, otherwise they wouldn't let Masha, who has a connection with the Vigilantes and is targeted by the Shadow, go unpunished."
Masha: “Hahahaha!”
Johnny said seriously, "I think the vigilantes are the secret force of these Chinese people."
Masha: "Yes, that's right, it is indeed my secret army as a Chinese!"
"We were tricked by these cunning guys," Johnny continued. "Seventy years ago, they pretended to know nothing and joined the World Government as if nothing had happened. Then, from a little brother that everyone only gave honorary status to a great power, they gradually became the dominant force they are today, and they kept their secrets perfectly. They must be laughing at us now."
Masha: "You're right, I'm just making fun of you!"
Because Masha came out in a hurry, most of the girls didn't get on the car, and the girls who couldn't appear in public were all in Wonderland. Now he only had Baiquan by his side.
Baiquan looked at Masha who was talking to herself like an idiot: "Are you finally crazy?"
"No, no, I'm making fun of the Americans!" said Masha.
"Don't tell me, I can't see what's going on outside."
Johnny: "However, his opinion is worth considering. Great Return... Therefore, Ying will not only snatch the mummy, but will probably also snatch the sword found by the British. Contact MI6!"
The agent driving the car said: "That is a domestic matter of the UK, under the jurisdiction of MI5. Of course, MI6 is also involved. They often accuse each other of crossing the line..."
"Then contact them! Both of them together." Johnny said with a frown.
Masha didn't care. The British didn't have anyone who could detect him in the shadow of the earth. If he just wanted to sneak in and steal a sword, there was still a way.
It’s not the same in Egypt. Who knows where Cleopatra will be ambushing.
So even if the security in Britain has been strengthened, Masha still plans to go to Britain first to steal the sword while trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Egypt will seize the opportunity. Maybe the Americans will be more capable and repair the mummy, so Masha can directly "drive" the mummy to escape into the door.
Johnny urged: "Drive, return to the airport immediately, we will go to Egypt immediately."
The agent said, "Okay. We are almost past the congestion period in Yuezhou City. The roads should be relatively smooth before 4pm. Let's just take the shortest route."
The car started.
Masha followed at the same pace and continued to listen to Johnny and the others' conversation.
Johnny: "The Chinese are so far ahead of us in this field, maybe they know exactly what the Nine Cauldrons are. It's even possible that they tacitly allow the Shadow Organization to keep the Nine Cauldrons in Greater China."
"Indeed, the number of awakenings in Greater China has been pitifully small recently, so the social order is very stable," Ben agreed. "When we first arrived, the common people didn't even have the slightest fear of people with super powers. This is unimaginable in the United States. In the Soviet Union..."
"It's good that I'm not scared. After all, the news is full of stories about people with super powers wreaking havoc and then being suppressed." Johnny looked at the bustling city outside the car window. "Maybe soon, the bustling scene will become unique to Greater China."
"I do think that their lack of super-powered troops might become a hidden danger," said the agent driving the car.
Johnny shook his head: "No, no, they may have been preparing for this moment for thousands of years and have a perfect countermeasure."
Ben: "I even think that they may have already trained a large number of practitioners, waiting for the revival of spiritual energy to quickly gain magical power. Think about it, various martial arts and qigong have always been popular among their people. This may be their preparation for the revival of spiritual energy."
Masha: "Dr. Hyde, you are big and your mind is big."
"They have also been training Taoist priests," Johnny said. "They have also filmed many Taoist-themed movies, teaching people how to draw talismans and perform rituals."
