We are all highly educated people... This situation, except for some small, still barbaric and ignorant countries on the African continent... In most other parts of the world, whether ordinary people or officials, people are already used to talking about "equality"! ... Regardless of the facts, at least the word "equality" exists in everyone's understanding.
"This approach is tantamount to throwing all the superpowered communities in the world onto the center stage of humanity, with countless spotlights shining on us. From now on, ordinary humans around the world will likely look at our group with envy, hatred, and disgust at all times! A single decree has completely separated the entire superpowered community from ordinary humans!!"
When Edward finished speaking, he took a deep breath, his tone serious, and his expression even carried a hint of fear:
"Once this becomes law, from the very first minute this decree goes into effect... we, by legal definition, will no longer be 'human'!!"
We... are no longer human?
This immediately plunged everyone into silence...
After a long silence, Chen Xiao spoke first, a complex look in his eyes: "Alright, what should we do?"
Edward smiled: "First...the public has the right to know!"
...
Many people may not know that the passage of many laws is not publicly announced or publicized. Some laws even seem absurd to ordinary people. For example, in the United Nations conference halls, various conventions and laws are passed almost daily. However, most ordinary people around the world don't pay much attention to those strange and distant laws. For instance, laws that grant legal rights to a certain indigenous people in Africa, or regulations defining the maritime routes around an unnamed volcanic island in the high seas, or naming a newly discovered planet light-years away... and so on...
These laws are too far removed from most people's lives and seem largely irrelevant. Most people are more concerned with whether bank interest rates will rise or fall, price fluctuations, the latest stock market news, or celebrity gossip, etc.
While you're sitting at home watching TV, you have no idea that today, the United Nations just held a meeting and debated issues such as the ownership of mining rights on a new planet tens of thousands of light-years away from Earth...
Similarly, if the United Nations were to pass a special law concerning superhumans at this time... you wouldn't know... and even if you did, you would most likely dismiss it as a pointless law.
Would you care? Would you care about a so-called "bill" that seems to have little to do with your life? Maybe you'd be more interested in entertainment gossip in the newspapers... That's true for most people.
It's precisely because you "don't know"!!!
...
"Most people don't know that there really is a huge group of people with superpowers in this world! They don't know that those so-called Supermen, Spider-Man, Batman... and similar people actually exist! Even if some people know about this new bill, they probably think it's just some bored people going crazy at the UN. Most people believe that these so-called supermen only exist in Hollywood movies. So... firstly, we must let everyone know... let the whole world know! In this world... we exist!!!"
...
At 2 p.m., the group broke into a specialty clothing store on a street in New York and New Jersey.
This specialty clothing store is called "Movie Props Lovers' Home." As the name suggests, most of the costumes offered here are classic movie costumes. These include vampire and werewolf outfits, even Darth Vader's suit from Star Wars, and lightsabers made from fluorescent light tubes, among other things.
Of course, these stores also offer Santa Claus costumes for people to rent and use to entertain their children during Christmas.
"This is the list I need."
The sales clerk standing behind the counter was a young black man. He looked rather lazy. Usually, there wasn't much business at this time. This group of yellow-skinned people who walked into the store... were they here to visit?
However, when the saleswoman saw Phoenix standing next to Chen Xiao, her eyes immediately lit up!
"I need everything on the list!" Chen Xiao said, raising his voice again.
The sales clerk then reluctantly withdrew her gaze and glanced at the list.
"Hmm, let me see... Superman suit? Spider-Man suit? Batman suit? Uh... Hulk... Haha, hey friend, are you guys having a costume party?"
Chen Xiao said calmly, "I need these things immediately. Do you have them?"
"Of course! I also have a brand-new Wolverine suit, and a combat suit from the movie 'G.I. Joe'. These are all top-notch items! I have a friend who works as a production assistant in Hollywood, and I even have a lightsaber that Samuel L. Jackson used in the Star Wars prequel movie!!"
Chen Xiao nodded: "Okay, tell me, what other good stuff do you have in your storeroom?"
"Everything! Everything!! If it's in a Hollywood movie, I have it all! Most of them are 100% high-quality replicas!!"
Chen Xiao smiled, revealing her white teeth.
This was the poor salesman's last thought; the next second, he passed out. Gonggong, who came up behind him, picked him up and threw him directly into the back storage room.
Of course, when it's all over, he won't remember anything when he wakes up; instead, he'll find a stack of hundred-dollar bills in his pocket.
Phoenix turned around, flipped the sign on the shop door over to "CLOSE", and then closed the door.
"Alright, let's begin. Let the whole world know we exist!"
...
A few minutes later, everyone stood in the back warehouse of the store, looking at the pile of movie props and costumes in front of them. Chen Xiao was a little stunned. He smiled wryly and touched his nose: "I think we're really crazy."
In front of him was a blue bodysuit and a red cape. On the chest of the blue bodysuit was a huge "S" mark.
"Are you sure you want me to wear this?" Chen Xiao asked with a wry smile. The others nodded in unison.
"All right!"
Chen Xiao glanced at the wall next to him, where there was a movie poster for the movie "Superman Returns" from three years ago.
Chen Xiao closed his eyes, then slightly moved his mind. Soon, his appearance began to change!
Imitation ability!
His hair quickly turned a light brown, and patches of white began to appear on his originally yellow skin. Soon, the white skin spread all over his body, and his muscles, bones, nose, and facial contours all changed...
Less than a minute later, Chen Xiao, who was standing in front of everyone, had transformed into a handsome young Caucasian man with brown hair, white skin, and well-defined facial features!
Then he took the clothes into the dressing room, and a few seconds later, when he came out, standing in front of everyone was...
Superman!!
“You should go on an impersonation show,” Phoenix laughed.
"Alright." Chen Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly: "Who's next?"
