I, the only superpower on earth.

Chapter 175 "One Day War" ([-])
Petunia trotted all the way, heading towards her home.

Along the way, the more she ran, the more frightened she became.Where the turret and the "Silver Snitch" passed by before, both the woods and the dam have been razed to the ground, and the place in front of them is a mess.

Moreover, there are many "Silver Snitches" fluttering in the air on the road, chirping "buzzing", and the rainbow lights in their compound eyes are shining.

However, after they spotted Petunia, they neither rushed up nor flew away, but just went about their own business. The rainbow light in their compound eyes scanned continuously, passing through the houses on both sides of the street. In and out, Petunia could hear screams coming from the houses.

"they……"

Petunia thought in her heart that it might be something related to the "standard certification" mentioned by the "Silver Snitch", or the "Type [-] Outpost" as "Lucy" called it, but until now, she still hasn't asked "Lucy" what the "standard certification" is.

She doesn't have time to take care of other things now, she just wants to go home as soon as possible - those things that she wants to ask, she can ask after she gets home and sees her parents.

Thinking like this, Petunia hurried past a "Silver Snitch", and the "Silver Snitch" fluttered its wings and walked indifferently in the direction opposite to her.

By now, Petunia didn't care much about small machines like this floating in the air—what happened this morning greatly exercised her nerve endurance.

But just when she ran past the "Silver Snitch" a few steps away——

"Bang bang bang!"

Behind her came a series of appalling bullets that Petunia had only heard on TV.

"—!!"

Petunia stopped immediately and turned her head.

The man holding a shotgun across the street with a flushed face jumped into her eye sockets. The man opened fire at the "Silver Snitch" frantically with a shotgun, muttering words and roaring loudly:
"Go to hell! You devils!"

It was a face Penny knew very well.

"Uncle Steve?!"

Penny's eyes widened.

The man she knew was Steve, the town guard.

On weekdays, he is kind, kind and gentle. He often goes to the only church in the town to pray. He is devout and everyone in the town knows him.

Although Steve is a bachelor, he likes to tease the children, and he often buys candy for the children. Even if he is pranked by the children, he never loses his temper, so the children, including Petunia, like him very much.

However, at this moment, he was holding a shotgun with a flushed face and crazily shooting there, muttering words, looking excited and crazy, as if he had triggered a special mechanism in his body, and he was completely different from usual. This strange appearance made Petunia discouraged, and she could only look at him blankly.

"Fuck...fuck—fuck you devils, hahahaha!"

Facing Steve's crazy roar, the "Silver Snitch" responded short and simple:
"'Uncertified citizen' Steve Landau, your actions have crossed the line, please stop your actions as soon as possible, otherwise we will impose compulsory correction on you-ten, nine..."

The "Silver Snitch" flew nimbly among the bullets, but when its countdown reached "six", a bullet hit its wings, and the latter's sound was forcibly interrupted, and it fell to the ground with a "pop".

"Hahahahahaha..."

Seeing that he finally killed the so-called "devil", Steve laughed maniacally, but he didn't stop shooting.

While slowly walking towards the downed "Silver Snitch", he emptied his magazine. The flying bullets shattered the shell of the "Silver Snitch", and a thin, almost transparent metallic liquid flowed from the inside. Rolling out, it looked like the Silver Snitch had bled out of itself.

After confirming the death of the "devil", Steve licked his lips contentedly, but he didn't put away the shotgun. While changing the magazine, he walked towards Petunia who was stunned by the scene just now.

He looked at Petunia's red eyes, showing an almost crazy look, pointing the black muzzle at Petunia, and slowly walked towards her:

"You...you——I saw that you walked away from the devil just now. You are also with it, right? So you are also a devil...that's right...the devil should be punished..."

He was talking to himself, and the blood in his eyes was getting thicker and thicker. Not only that, but besides the madness, there was also a taste that Petunia couldn't understand, but felt very disgusting.He looked up and down Petunia's body, and moaned in a anxious tone:
"Oh...the devil...the devil..."

Petunia looked at him blankly, staring at her figure in his pupils, and murmured:
"Uncle Steve...I'm Petunia..."

"...Petunia?"

Steve walked towards Penny without any hesitation. He shook his head and said with an exaggerated smile:
"—I remember the name...Petunia...you are a child...just like the two children Danli and Zofan—you are the black goats sent by the devil to tempt me...Oh, I know it all ..."

He showed a demented smile amidst his madness, but the words he said made Petunia's body tense instantly.

Danley?

Sakata each?
... She remembered the two names.

Danli is the granddaughter of an old woman in the town, and the two depend on each other for life.But just last year, Danli disappeared.

Although the people in the town conducted an urgent search, Dan Li's figure never appeared.In the end, it could only be determined that he was taken away by fugitive criminals.

And not long after Danli disappeared, her grandmother also passed away due to longing.

As for Zuo Fangge... That was the name of a child member of a circus that came to the town to perform at the beginning of this year.

Although the child was a boy, he was pretty, and he played the dancer in the circus.However, on the night when the circus performed in the town, Zuo Fangge also disappeared mysteriously.

However, because he had no relatives, the circus quietly demanded a large amount of compensation from the mayor and quit.

——Petunia heard the above things from her parents, and this was one of the reasons why they wanted to move out of this small town.

however……

Hearing what Steve said, Petunia had the urge to vomit after thinking of something dark and dirty like the deepest part of a quagmire.

"The black goat...the black goat who led me astray...will be punished..."
