Chapter 203 Meeting? Usurpation!
Chapter 203 Meeting? Usurpation! (Chapter )
"..."
After hearing the answer given by Leon, although no one around spoke, the tense atmosphere just now suddenly relaxed.
As for the middle-aged man who had begun to doubt Leon’s identity, even though the doubts in his eyes had not subsided, his expression softened a little, and he smiled and said:
“The answer is correct…Little Baggins, I hope you won’t blame me for being suspicious. After all, I am the leader and I am responsible for the safety of so many people.
And you were an ordinary person yesterday, but after a little night breeze, you suddenly awakened your abnormal abilities. This transformation is really too fast, so just in case, the necessary tests are still necessary."
"You're right."
Knowing that he couldn't argue with the middle-aged man about this matter, Leon nodded calmly and said something perfunctorily, and then asked directly as if nothing had happened just now:
"Master Chief, as you just said, I was just an ordinary member until yesterday. I am not familiar with everyone. Could you please introduce me to everyone?"
"of course can."
The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at the burned man next to Leon, and said at a steady pace:
"The one sitting next to you is Tiger. You two already know each other. Then there are Luke, Oliver, Phoebe, and Lucy..."
After briefly reporting everyone's names and completing a round of introductions that couldn't be simpler, the middle-aged man smiled and said:
"As for everyone's abilities and other situations, it would be too troublesome to introduce them one by one. In addition, there are very important matters to discuss later, so I will skip it for now. You can go find them later to learn more."
"..."
I'll find out later...
It seems that most of these people are not in the valley, and each of them has other hidden identities. How can I learn about them? So after all your introductions, all I got in the end were some names that I don't know whether they are real or fake?
In Leon's speechless eyes, the middle-aged man changed his target and introduced to everyone:
"Everyone, this is Little Baggins. He was originally in charge of material procurement in the organization, but he awakened his abnormal ability yesterday, so he became a member of our team...
By the way, little Baggins, what are your abilities? Can you tell me about them? "
……
So I went to great lengths to sneak in, but not only did I not get any intelligence, but I was also tricked into giving away a wave of intelligence?
Looking at the middle-aged man who was obviously on guard against him, Leon couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and then nodded and revealed himself in the curious eyes of the rioters:
"Of course, my ability is actually very simple. As long as the conditions are met, I can make anyone bow to me."
Making anyone bow to you? What the hell is that?
After hearing what Leon said, everyone, including the middle-aged man who was trying to find out, was stunned for a moment. After waiting for a while without hearing anything else, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask:
"and then?"
"Gone."
Leon shook his head slightly and said frankly:
"That's it... or that's all I've found so far."
"..."
This……
Looking at "Little Baggins" with an honest face and confirming that he was not joking with them, the gang members in the room looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Your ability... is quite special..."
After looking at "Little Baggins" doubtfully, the middle-aged man thought for a moment and then continued to ask:
"So how long can your ability last? How far away can it be effective? How long is the interval between each time?"
Oh yeah! And these too!
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the disappointed rioters in the room suddenly regained interest.
Although forcing others to bow sounds rubbish, it is not completely useless if you can force them to bow all day long from a few kilometers away, or even make them bow continuously.
As long as the conditions are right and it is used properly, this seemingly useless anomaly may actually have a miraculous effect at a critical moment!
"As for the duration..."
Under the expectant eyes of the rebels, Leon thought for a moment and then answered:
"It's probably just a bow, and that's it."
"..."
"It has to be face to face, and it should be slightly larger than this room. Any farther away will be useless."
"..."
"There's not much of a gap, but the ability needs to be effective by convincing the other party with words. As long as you can stop me from finishing my words, you don't have to bow to me."
"..."
Then you...are really useless...
Although they had prepared themselves mentally, after hearing about this ability which could not be said to be useless but could only be said to be completely useless, the rebels still couldn't help but reveal extremely speechless expressions on their faces.
To be honest, the effect of Little Baggins's crappy ability doesn't seem to be as good as a nail gun.
Not only can it only be activated in front of you, but its effect is only for a moment. If you have the time, wouldn't it be faster to just pull out your gun and shoot him directly?
And...what does it mean to convince someone with words?
……
"That's literally what it means."
After the middle-aged man asked this question on behalf of the rioters in the room, Leon lied and said:
“For example, if I want you to bow to me, I must first find a way to convince you and make you agree with my point of view from the bottom of your heart. Only then will you be within my ability and bow to me according to my requirements.”
"..."
Ah this...this...are you serious?
After hearing this extremely outrageous activation condition, even the burned man who had always believed that Leon was "nothing simple" couldn't hold back.
Logically speaking, being able to only bow to someone in person is already useless enough, but you actually have to convince the other person before you can make them bow to you? You...are you sure this thing can be called an abnormal ability?
"You're not kidding, are you?"
After she touched her bald head with her hands, the straightforward bald girl took the lead and questioned with a look of disbelief:
"It's fine that the effect is weak, but the restrictions are so great? You have to convince the other party first? Can you call this an abnormal ability? I can point a nail gun at someone's head and force him to bow to me faster than you!"
"Maybe... the effect is a little useless, but I can guarantee that the performance of this ability is indeed not achievable by normal means. It must be an abnormal ability. If you don't believe it..."
After blinking awkwardly, Leon suggested:
"Then let's give it a try?"
"Just try..."
"Wait a minute!"
After calling the bald girl who wanted to experience it for herself, the middle-aged man squinted at Leon and asked slowly, "Little Baggins, don't blame me for thinking too much, but the situation of your bowing ability is all based on your own statement, and we don't know what it is exactly like.
So can I assume that the true nature of your ability may not be bowing, and that if you cooperate with me, I will be controlled, my inner secrets will be peeped into, and I may even obey you in the future?"
? ! ! !
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the gang members in the room couldn't help but look stern, and their expressions when they looked at Leon suddenly became dangerous.
That's right! How could there be such a boring ability as making people bow? He said this, perhaps to make us lose our vigilance and actively cooperate out of curiosity and enter the effective range of his ability!
If the situation is really as Nathan guessed, then we will probably all be this kid's puppets from now on!
"Master Chief, you misunderstood."
Feeling the hostile looks from the rebels, Leon tactfully raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, and tried to explain:
"The situation is not what you think. My ability is really only to make people bow. As for the test I just proposed, you don't need to cooperate in any way. You just need to listen to what I say.
If you can be controlled just by listening to one sentence from me, then you have already listened to so many words from me, so wouldn't you have already been controlled?"
……
That's true...
After hearing the explanation of "Little Baggins", the gang members pondered for a while in private, and then felt that what he said was not unreasonable. The burned man next to Leon stood up impatiently, waved his hand impatiently and said:
"Those who are willing to try can stay and listen. Those who are not brave enough can cover their ears or just get out and wait! Why waste time on such a simple matter?"
After firing at the rioters, the burned man sniffed again, then turned to look at Leon and said:
"Come! Try it on me first! I want to see how you can make me bow to you with just one sentence!"
"Ok."
After hearing what the burned man said, Leon did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked around and reminded him seriously:
"Everyone, let me remind you one last time. My ability is activated by language, so if you are still worried about being controlled, please cover your ears tightly. It is best to leave temporarily."
"..."
After hearing the reminder from "Little Baggins", the gang members in the room fell into silence again, but no one chose to leave. Even the middle-aged man in the main seat did not move after hesitating for a while.
After all, if it can be activated just by listening to a sentence, then "Little Baggins" has countless opportunities to activate the anomaly before he speaks out his ability. There is no need to explain the rules first and then activate the ability...
"Since everyone is ready to give it a try, I'll start."
After looking around and seeing that no one had left and no one had blocked their ears, Leon could not help but nod in satisfaction and then raised two fingers.
"I believe that one plus one equals two. Those who agree with me, please stand up and bow to me now."
"Shhhhhh!"
The moment Leon finished his words, the sound of a large number of chairs being dragged on the ground was heard at the same time, and the rioters in the room were horrified to find that they had actually lost control of their bodies.
Everyone in the room stood up from their chairs at the same time and bowed to "Little Baggins" in a standard manner. Two relatively shorter people even knocked their heads against the table.
"Damn it! It's actually true!"
After reaching out to pick up the hood that had fallen on the table, the bald girl touched her red forehead and said in surprise:
"I just thought about it and thought that what you said was right. I couldn't control my body and bowed to you!
Good fellow! You really are not lying! You actually have this kind of useless abnormal ability. As long as you agree with what you say... um... Leader?"
Looking at the only middle-aged man who was still sitting on the chair and did not stand up to bow to "Little Baggins", the bald woman said in confusion:
"Isn't this one plus one? How did you..."
"It's because I didn't activate my ability on him."
Just as the bald woman looked puzzled and began to question the middle-aged man's mathematical ability, Leon interrupted her and said:
"After all, Lord Nathan is the leader recognized by everyone. I don't think it's a good idea to ask him to bow to me. I didn't choose him as a target when I used my ability just now."
"Oh, that's it!"
After confirming that "Little Baggins" had not lied, and had even been telling the truth from the beginning till now, the bald girl's attitude suddenly became much closer, and she even complained with a smile:
"Really... you should have said something about this. I thought the leader couldn't even add one plus one!"
Haha, I don’t know if he can calculate one plus one, but I already know who he is!
After returning a gentle smile to the bald woman, Leon looked at the [Prince of Robin] with golden light flowing on the slot, then turned to look at the frowning middle-aged man in the main seat, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.
Oh it's you!
……
Of course, it was pure nonsense to say that he did not use his ability on the leader. According to the ability of Prince Robin, all those whose "status" was lower than that of the prince should immediately stand up and bow under the constraints of the badge.
The only possible exception is the "prince" with the same status as himself, the "prince", that is, Prince Joshua who returned from the future to the present by unknown means!
I never thought that the leader of the rebellious gang causing trouble everywhere would actually be the prince of the kingdom... This guy really deserves a beating no matter how old he is!
After giving the middle-aged man a meaningful look, finding the foundation used to cover blemishes on his cheeks, and vaguely recognizing some facial features, Leon finally understood where the sense of familiarity he had felt when he first met him came from.
Don’t ask, if you ask, I’ll tell you that he has been slapped in the face, and more than once. He is a typical old acquaintance!
"Everyone!"
After moving his right wrist, which suddenly felt restless, Leon proved that he was not lying and sat back in his chair, smiling and reminding:
"I remember there seems to be an important meeting today? Can we continue now?"
By the way! I'm here for a meeting today!
After hearing Leon's reminder, the people who were still studying the bow just now came back to their senses and echoed one after another:
"Yes! It's something very important!"
"It's time to continue!"
"Indeed, it has already wasted quite a bit of time!"
"..."
Why do I feel like...something's not right?
Looking at "Little Baggins" at the end of the long table with his hands crossed on the table and gazing at him meaningfully, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat felt uncomfortable in his heart, and the chair under him became more and more uncomfortable no matter how he sat.
Whether it was the echoes from the surrounding gang members or the meeting reminder that should have been issued by himself, they all seemed to be hinting at something, as if with that strange bow just now, something that should have been firmly under his control suddenly began to "flow".
This strange thing that didn't really exist, but was extremely important, was flowing along this old parliamentary table, from me sitting at the head seat, and slowly and unstoppably flowing to the other end of the table...
