Chapter 260 I Will Protect China
What is it like to master supernatural powers? Superman on the first day, Homelander on the second day, and I simply don’t eat beef on the third day?
As I said before, China has its own national conditions. The perfect education system and comprehensive control have enabled China to maintain a relatively peaceful situation.
The response bureau is not only aimed at the creatures of the dark plane, but also controls many participants.
Large-scale and strict control is to prevent those who "don't eat beef" from appearing. When many people think of the extraordinary, they think what if I were an extraordinary person, but they don't think, what if others are extraordinary and I am just an ordinary person?
Just like the chaos in Armenia, once order collapses, the extraordinary people fight each other, and the ordinary people suffer the greatest losses.
Superman fights very well and is very powerful. He can just raise his hand and swing a car out, which goes through buildings and houses like a missile.
What if the car was a new one you bought on installment? What if the one that was destroyed was a pre-sale house for which you had not yet paid off your mortgage? Faced with such a mess, as an ordinary person, watching most of your savings turn to dust, and the authorities doing nothing, do you still have to grab Superman by the collar and ask him to pay compensation?
This is the significance of the existence of law. It exists to protect the interests of the vast majority of people. Even if there are still imperfections, rule of man and rule of law, which perfect each other and improve overall, are the foundation for the existence of a country.
As Chinese participants with extraordinary abilities, they enjoy many rights and interests, such as sufficient living security, living allowances and subsidies at all levels. When necessary, they can also seek help from the Response Bureau, that is, ask the country for money and let the country solve their problems.
With the enjoyment of rights comes obligations. China has strict laws in this regard, including not showing one's abilities in front of ordinary people, not using one's abilities to disrupt the market, being subject to big data scrutiny at all times, not competing for official positions other than those in response bureaus, and taking responsibility when necessary.
For example, as a participant, every transfer of funds will be closely monitored by Eve, but the control of the response bureau goes far beyond this. It covers all aspects of the participants. The public security regulations issued to each participant alone are two fingers thick.
But with a sharp knife in mind, murderous intent arises naturally. With great power, it is inevitable that one's mentality will fluctuate. He will have the courage to do things that he dare not do. The extraordinary events handled by the Response Bureau every month every year are hundreds of times more than the time spent by the creatures in the dark plane.
To put it bluntly, the Chinese participants are hiding in the darkness. They have the ability but cannot show it in front of people, just like a reptile in brocade clothes walking at night. What makes all this possible is the iron-blooded means and powerful force to deal with the situation.
But now the lid has been lifted and everything has been exposed to the sun. The enthusiasm of the participants has overwhelmed the epidemic for a time. Under Eve's surveillance, countless obscure and blatant remarks are fermenting. If not handled properly, it will only be another chaos of demons.
Fortunately, the Response Bureau was well prepared. As the saying goes, "Preparation is the key to success." The "Regulations on Supernatural Beings" has been written as a long-term proposal since the establishment of the Response Bureau, and has been improved bit by bit with the passage of time. This can only be said to be the foresight of our predecessors, who knew that the day would finally come when the secret would be revealed. The Response Bureau also had hundreds of contingency plans for this, and the number is still increasing.
"Yes, yes, I understand. We have been preparing for this. Okay, I understand."
Xia Ling hung up the red phone, let out a long breath, and looked at everyone.
The directors of the response bureau’s branches in various cities and towns are gathered here.
"The higher-ups have reached a consensus, and it's time to proceed to the next step," Xia Ling looked at the people sitting there, some wooden and some excited, "I know some of you disagree with the current action, but this is an order, and we just need to execute it."
"Perhaps a hundred years from now we will be nailed to the pillar of shame and cursed by others, but I, you, and everyone else, just need to fulfill our due obligations now and ensure that this country smoothly transitions to the next stage. If we fail to do so, we will immediately become sinners, and we cannot afford the consequences."
She slammed the table and said, "Now, all levels and departments, act according to the plan!"
Gu Qingyuan paid no attention to anything in the outside world, and devoted himself to the Skynet project. He only looked at the various regulations issued on the Internet when he was occasionally free. Netizens from all walks of life jumped out one after another, some pretending to be haters, some pretending to be fans, some pretending to be werewolves, trying to attract attention, and some cursing at each other. All of them had a bright future.
"It's a mess, too messy, who muddied the water all of a sudden?" Gu Qingyuan checked the background data, settled one task, and issued another task. On the other end of the terminal was Mr. Trudeau, the Secretary of State of Armenia.
"So I'm the culprit!"
He suddenly realized that there was no other way. He came here to plunder the world, not to be a savior. How could he fish in troubled waters without muddying the water? Of course, if he could do it at the same time as saving the world, that would naturally be the best.
"After all, this world has entered the countdown."
Gu Qingyuan thought so while manipulating various data.
"Advisor, you've been working for so long, take a break. There's no such thing as too much work to do. Would you like a cup of coffee? This is top quality coffee. I heard it's a special supply. I wonder how much it costs."
A big man with a crew cut and a square face came over with a coffee cup. He was the official guard assigned to Gu Qingyuan, and he was on his way on horseback.
This is not a job title in the response bureau system, but an official agency's policy assessment of high-end talents. It happened to be stuck at the juncture of the emergence of extraordinary people. As a heroic spirit and scientific researcher, Gu Qingyuan took the first step in the new extraordinary policy. This is the first case in China, and it is worth a thousand gold coins.
"I'm not used to it. Bring me a bottle of happy water, iced. You can have the coffee, Xiao Li!" Gu Qingyuan waved his hand.
The guard's name was Li Yuan. Perhaps considering Gu Qingyuan's identity, he chose this young man in his early twenties.
"Okay, I'll get it for you. I've never tasted such good coffee!" Li Yuan smiled naively, turned around and left with the coffee.
Gu Qingyuan looked at Li Yuan's departing back. He was in a tense state all the time, with a strong military atmosphere. Although he was a city boy, his attitude was really good. He would just ask for whatever he needed. This didn't mean he wanted an iced Coke.
"Alas, I will protect this country. Even Jesus cannot destroy it!"
"Let's get this Plague Knight out first. He keeps running around and won't stop at all."
Gu Qingyuan stood up and looked at the screen.
"Eve, are you ready? Get up and work!"
"Always be prepared!" Eve replied, followed by a military salute.
