Chapter 27: I Am a Superpowered Being; I've Revealed My Hand!
In Z City, everyone looked up at the sky in unison, alert to everything around them.
Fear of the unknown flickered in their eyes, for the air raid siren had been sounding for over ten minutes.
At first, no one paid attention to this incident, thinking it was just a normal superpower battle alarm, until this disaster became intimately connected to everyone...
Inside Zhongcheng High School, due to the persistent alarm echoing across the city, some students wanted to take out their phones to vent online, but quickly realized something was wrong.
"What's going on? My phone has no signal."
"It's not that my phone has no signal; my signal still shows full bars, but I can't log into the video website."
"Damn it, this superpower user is so strong they can actually stop us from going online!"
In a corner seat by the window, Fang Can tilted his head, looking down over the entire class, his demeanor quite leisurely.
After all, up until now, his superpower Bad Luck Detection Radar had not sounded an alarm, indicating the current situation was still within a controllable range.
So no panic; the problem isn't big.
Moreover, watching these cute classmates who usually shouted day and night for rivers of blood but now fell into chaos as soon as trouble arose, Fang Can found it quite amusing!
Casually taking out his phone, Fang Can checked the signal; sure enough, it showed full bars, but when he opened the 'Kuai Dou B Hu' app, it was inaccessible.
Furthermore, classmates could call each other normally, but if the contact was outside Z City, it showed 'unreachable'.
'This feels like being walled off?'
This thought popped into Fang Can's mind; how could there be a wall inside the wall?
Before he could ponder long, a signal began automatically connecting to everyone's electronic devices; their phones started automatically downloading a file named 'Five Elements Runzhi Gong'.
'Five Elements Runzhi Gong?' Fang Can's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, realizing something was amiss.
The entire file was only 70MB; mere moments later, everyone's file download completed.
With suspicion, Fang Can opened the file, and the opening table of contents made his vision go black.
'Five Elements Runzhi Gong · Mortal Body Transformation Chapter'
"Damn it, the Idealist Martial Dao is still chasing me." Fang Can was completely speechless, casually flipping through it.
Skipping the preface, table of contents, history of the Martial Dao, our country's research contributions to the Martial Dao, bottlenecks in recent Martial Dao development, the landscape of our country's Martial Dao, looking toward the future, and a huge pile of textbook-style nonsense, he finally reached the main text, which was only a few pages long.
Seeing the text mention 108 acupoints in the human body, along with the Role-Playing Method and the Ten Thousand Phenomena Xiangyi Fist, Fang Can finally confirmed this was indeed a proper Idealist Martial Dao.
Recalling the blocked signals outside the city and the sudden air raid siren, a bad thought rose in Fang Can's heart.
Moments later, a video popped up before everyone's eyes; a youth in an orange shirt waved at the screen and said, "Citizens of Z City, on behalf of the Dragon Group, I congratulate you in advance on becoming the targets of this Carnival Day."
Following the youth's words in the video, the entire class felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their hands and feet turning cold; they never expected the much-discussed Carnival Day to be so close.
"How can this be? I want to get out!"
"Damn it, there are over nine hundred cities nationwide; why did we get picked?"
"I want to leave the city! I want to leave the city!"
Following the youth's announcement, the entire city descended into chaos, for they knew very well the fate of those cities that became Carnival Day targets.
Regarding this uproar, the youth in the video did not know, nor did he want to know, and continued smiling as he said:
"Right now, the entire perimeter of Z City is blockaded; anyone attempting to leave the city will be attacked, continuing until the Carnival Day ends."
"At the same time, during this period, there will be no law whatsoever within the entire city; personnel will only be sent to take over here after the Carnival Day concludes."
"Also, the file I sent you in the video is the latest research result; if you practice diligently, it might slightly increase your chances of survival."
"Before the Carnival Day, if any of you can manifest Qi Sensation, each of those people will be rewarded 10 million."
"Finally, good luck to you all."
Having spoken, the youth smiled and waved at everyone, then voluntarily severed the connection.
As the phone screen went black, the entire school, after a brief silence, erupted into massive chaos.
In an instant, wailing, screaming, and angry shouts spread throughout the city.
A frenzy seemed about to unfold across this entire city.
And in Building Two of Zhongcheng High School, accompanied by a crisp sound of shattering glass, a chair smashed through a window and flew out of the teaching building.
A teacher looked at the buzz-cut youth before him and roared, "Zhang Yang, what are you doing! Do you think things aren't chaotic enough yet?"
But all he received was a punch that cracked his face.
The buzz-cut youth delivered a 'Respect Teacher and Value the Way' punch that knocked the teacher flat, shouting amidst the class's fearful gazes:
"I've long wanted to stop reading these broken books; functions, geometry, I don't even want to listen anymore."
"You all heard it; there are no laws now. Who cares about your exams and studying? I'm not studying anymore!"
Having spoken, in the gaze of the entire class, the buzz-cut youth strode out of the classroom, with no one daring to stop him.
'This is getting serious.' In the corner, Fang Can helplessly shook his head.
Similar situations disrupting order within the city will only increase from now on.
Robbery, murder, and other acts will cause turmoil; under this vicious cycle, by the day the Carnival Day ends, this city will likely have to match Los Santos.
'So... should I intervene?' Fang Can looked at the chaotic class, thinking to himself.
If he revealed his identity as a superpower user, combined with his current martial prowess, there was a possibility of stabilizing the city's security.
After all, whether there is order or not depends on hope, and he, this superpower user, could serve as a credit endorsement in a short time.
Hesitating, Fang Can casually took a coin from his pocket, preparing to leave it to fate.
As the coin in Fang Can's hand was gently tossed up, flipping in the air before bouncing twice on the ground, the coin actually wedged itself into a crack in the ground and stood upright.
'What does this mean?'
Fang Can looked at the coin standing on the ground: 'Does it mean I should do whatever I want?'
"Heh!" Fang Can couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth; his right hand grabbed the coin from the ground, gave it a gentle squeeze, and picked the steel coin back up.
At this moment, the entire class had descended into chaos; some were terrified, others excited, as if celebrating a festival.
But immediately, everyone felt a tightening in their hearts, as if some great terror were descending.
Without any coordination, everyone subconsciously turned in unison to look behind them.
In the corner by the window, Fang Can slapped the side of the coin representing free will onto the table and slowly rose.
No one dared meet his gaze, and no one spoke, as if the person before them possessed terrifying majesty.
After using the Heart Image he had just learned to awe the entire class, Fang Can spread his hands amidst the class's looks of reverence, expectation, and envy, and said:
"I am a superpowered being... I've laid my cards on the table."
