The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 492 Weak Ability

Superpowers do come in many varieties.

Some are rather useless.

Indeed, some people will say that there is no super power of trash, only trash people.

But He Nan didn't think so.

Super powers are wasteful, and they are completely irreparable.

This is why superheroes generally persuade him not to go out to punish crimes when they discover a new superpower—especially when his ability is still relatively weak.

Because, that's really dangerous, and you might put yourself on the line.

At that time, not only will it not be able to purify the public security environment, but it will also cause yourself to become a target that needs to be rescued.

It was so embarrassing.

It will only increase the arrogance of the wicked.

They came to remind He Nan.

At that time, he was indeed very weak, which He Nan still admitted.

But of course it is different now.

The current He Nan is definitely not a "waste".

If you say it's a newcomer, it's about the same.

But he is really not new.

The abilities of many superpowers in this city are useless at all, so they cannot be superheroes.

Such characters are usually not known to the public.

People will only know those strong people who can use their superpowers to fight and can be called superheroes.

Even if those abilities are still weak for fighting, they are not completely useless.At least, it can be used as an auxiliary effect or something.

Those guys with very useless superpowers often only appear in programs dedicated to introducing such useless superpowers.

Or, just... death reports or something.

In this case, it is really quite sad.

It can also be said to be a bloody warning.

He Nan was more impressed by these few relatively useless superpowers.

One is to make paper airplanes out of thin air.

Yes, that's it.

Can't make anything else.

Paper airplanes are only normal size and can be thrown by hand to fly a certain distance.

...and then there is no more.

Special effect?nonexistent.

That's all.

And there's a guy whose superpower is he can bend spoons.

This looks like a person with telekinetic ability, right?

However, this is not the case.

All he could really do was bend the spoon.

I can't do anything other than the first time.

So, this is a separate superpower of "bending the spoon", and it is impossible for him to bend the fork.

So what is the use of this superpower?
Well, He Nan couldn't think of it at all.

It seems that no matter how you think about it, you can only think of it to cheat money and perform magic tricks.

Other than that, there's really nothing special about it.

In fact, if He Nan was right, no one would even watch a magic show.

These are all obsolete projects.

There are now many scientific ways to break a spoon.

This has long been out of the professional field of superpowers.

As for how this magic changed?

That would be too simple.

Just prepare two tablespoons, one of which is broken in advance, leaving the handle and hiding it.

Afterwards, present the good spoon to the audience for inspection.After everyone has checked it, overlap the bad end with the handle of the good spoon, and then use the cover of your hand to block the handle of the good spoon, expose the bad handle, and pinch the broken part with your fingers.

At this point, it looks like a good spoon, because it was a good spoon that was shown to others in the first place.

At this point, you only need to pretend to shake it again to expose the broken spoon, and the performance can be completed.

It's that simple.

He Nan learned this magic trick easily back then, and then performed it for Shirley.

But there is no flirting effect.

If you want to ask why, of course it is because Shirley has known this kind of trick for a long time, so she will not be so surprised.

...or in other words, she wasn't the kind of girl who would be fascinated by magic tricks, and would think the boys performing magic tricks were handsome.

As a detective, that's probably the case.

After all, the job of a detective is to see the essence through the phenomenon.

We must see through all blindfolds and delve into the truth behind it.

And what about magic?

Magic is actually quite the opposite.

It is relatively taboo to expose.

Therefore, it is not beneficial to delve into it in itself.

This will only affect the joy of magic.

The key to magic is to make you feel magical.

It's good to feel amazing and incredible.

Once you really know how this changed, I am afraid that everything will become dull.

This breaks a lot of things.

For example, the fantasy brought about by magic.

While everyone knows it's fake, it's just fun to watch.

He Nan actually finds this matter quite interesting sometimes.

That is—would people be so happy if they knew that the magic they saw was actually magic?

He Nan didn't know the answer. Some people must think that magic is more wonderful than magic.

But he felt that if he saw a trick and someone told him it was magic, he would find it boring.

After all, for He Nan, the most fascinating part of magic lies in the use of a lot of machinery, techniques, etc., to deceive your senses and thinking in a scientific way that ordinary humans can do.

There are a lot of skills in it. People can guess through rational thinking and guessing what mechanism and what kind of psychological suggestion he used to deceive your eyes?

These reflections are interesting in themselves.

And what about magic?Magic does not have your ability to think.

You won't think about how this effect is camouflaged, and you won't guess whether there is a problem with that device.

All you need to know is that it's magic and you can't do it.

This kind of thing lacks the sense of participation of the audience.

There is no guessing and games, and reasoning mobilizes nerves inside.

Therefore, He Nan would rather watch a real magic show than a magic show.

Of course, magic shows that falsely claim to be using magic are not classified as magic.

Those are still magic in nature.

At this time, He Nan thought of those guys with particularly weak superpowers.

I don't know if their abilities will improve and become stronger in the future.

If it is possible, I don't know how it will become stronger.

For example... the one who can make paper airplanes can start to make bigger ones?

Or, start making other paper objects?
There seem to be many possibilities.

It would be best if the paper airplane can attack others at first.

Launching energy bombs, self-detonation, etc. are all good.

This makes for a more useful superpower.

Of course, this is just optimistic thinking.

Think pessimistically, maybe everything is meaningless.

Your abilities are just paper airplanes.
