"We've arrived at Tacoma Airport and can carry out landing procedures at any time," Conan reminded.
"Well?" Martin asked absentmindedly, "Aren't we going to the World Trade Center?"
"Don't make trouble. Today is not 911."
While complaining, Conan stood up and flew the plane, circling the airport and using the telescope and night vision functions of the tracking glasses to observe the airport.
There are three runways at Tacoma Airport, but for some reason the guidance lights on two of the runways that should be turned on at night were not turned on. Only the remaining runway had the lights on, as if telling Conan: Stop here, don't park in the wrong place.
"Is this also your sister's arrangement, Martin?"
Ma Wu's voice came from the radio: "Nonsense, land quickly, great detective."
"But the question is, how to land?" Conan still didn't understand: "Two of the three landing gears are broken."
"Just land directly, don't worry about the landing gear." Ma Wu said shockingly: "Or you can shut down the engine now and crash straight down."
"Seriously?" Conan felt like this was Martin's joke time, and turned to look at Martin: "Did she mean what I understood?"
Without landing gear to cushion the impact, landing directly on a concrete runway would only result in the plane disintegrating and killing everyone on board! Even if a pickup truck is used on the ground to replace the landing gear, as shown in pickup truck commercials!
Martin turned on the seat belt sign and the captain's microphone: "Dear passengers, you don't want to arrive at the tarmac earlier than the plane, right?"
After such a torturous journey, all the passengers immediately fastened their seat belts and were very obedient. Some of them even did not unfasten their seat belts during the entire journey.
"Don't you understand yet?" Martin put down the phone with a relaxed look, and picked up the cup of black tea Bob gave him: "Xiao Wu wanted to show off her superpowers when she 'first met' us two."
"Ah..." Ma Wu complained on the radio: "It's really embarrassing to say it like this."
"No way. Our great detective has an IQ of 250 and an EQ of 250. You expect him to figure it out on his own, but it's too late... Oh?" Martin suddenly saw two figures: "Is that you and Ling Yu down there?"
Conan also saw that there were two people on the runway, and hurriedly adjusted his tracking glasses to the maximum telescopic distance.
The leader of the two figures is a girl with twin ponytails. She is looking over here with one hand on her waist and the other holding a telescope. On her ear, she has something that is either a Bluetooth headset or an intercom headset.
Another girl with brown mushroom-like hair was hiding behind the former, holding her arms and leaning half of her body to look in this direction.
The two stood in the middle of the runway. If the plane landed normally, it would definitely run over their heads during the taxiing phase. But now Conan couldn't even consider the taxiing issue. The plane would break into pieces when it touched the ground.
"Yes, Suzuha and I are right here, so you can believe that I'm not lying to you, right?" Ma Wu waved over on the runway, and her voice came into the cockpit through the radio: "If you crash, Suzuha and I will die together."
This sentence was a bit complicated and Conan didn't understand it, so Martin translated it.
"Heh..." Conan didn't believe it: "Can anyone in your family be killed?"
"So I brought Suzuha here too~"
"Eh! So I'm used as a hostage?" Ling Yu, who was behind Ma Wu, was startled. She immediately let go of Ma Wu's arm and turned to run away. However, Ma Wu turned around and grabbed her collar.
Ma Wu's feet did not move at all, while Ling Yu's feet slipped and she started running on the spot.
"Come down quickly, great detective." Ma Wu urged the plane that was still circling over the airport, "It's just a plane. Look, Sister Ni Wu is pushing it back!"
"First tell me what your ability is!" Conan was worried. Maybe he could trust his own life to the sister of a friend he met for the first time, but he couldn't gamble with the lives of more than a hundred people on a plane.
"No." In a world of reasoning, do as the Romans do. Ma Wu wanted Conan to guess for himself: "If you don't come down, I will beat you down."
"Then go ahead and fight." Conan said, taking a good look at what Ma Wu's abilities are.
Martin was also very interested in this. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the Minion Kevin took out a telescope and handed it to him.
Picking up the telescope, Martin looked at the scene below more clearly. He saw Ma Wu let go of her telescope, made a circle with her thumb and index finger and held it in front of her eyes, and put their plane into her finger circle.
"Engine temperature, zero degrees Celsius. Gravity acceleration, tripled."
As the girl finished speaking, Conan immediately felt his body falling, and he was rapidly falling along with the plane as if in free fall.
But the engine of the plane, that is, the ion engine on Victor's spacecraft, was not extinguished at this time and was still working. It was just that the sensor that detected the engine condition was not connected to the cockpit, so Conan didn't know it yet.
On the ground, Ma Wu frowned slightly when he saw that the engine was still working. Then in the next moment, the ion engine that was emitting blue light went out, and the plane fell faster. Conan almost pulled the joystick off the dashboard, but he couldn't stabilize the plane.
"Ahhhhh——" When the plane was completely in free fall, the weightlessness caused many things in the cockpit to float up, such as the three Minions, Rabbit, Conan who was holding on to the joystick tightly, as well as tea cups, cakes, and flight manuals.
But they just floated up. Strangely, Martin was thrown directly onto the roof of the cockpit and was even pressed firmly against the ceiling.
Feeling the pressure of the ceiling on his back, Martin did not panic, but seemed to be thinking about something.
Although it was falling rapidly, it was very accurately directed to the runway in front of Ma Wu. With the screams of the passengers, the Boeing 747 crashed into the concrete ground at a very high speed and sank below the ground.
——However, the entire ground sank along with the plane.
From Martin and Conan's perspective, the plane began to slow down from a rapid fall and finally stopped in darkness. But before Conan could be happy, the plane began to move backwards again.
The plane was bounced out by the ground, and when it returned to the air, Conan saw in the cockpit that the road surface of the airport runway was still intact, but it bulged upwards a lot after being reset, as if it was not made of concrete, but a softer and more elastic material... like a trampoline.
Yes, it was a trampoline! The ground had been transformed into a giant trampoline! When the plane fell again, Conan finally understood this.
The plane bounced up, down, up again, and down again on a giant trampoline. During this process, the total potential energy of the system continued to decrease, and finally it slowly stopped, lying on the ground with its arms and legs spread out. The passengers had already vomited their overnight meals, and even the vomit would fly freely in the cabin during this process.
Even Martin was so annoyed that his eyes were a little straight, but after confirming that the plane had stopped, he still dutifully turned off the seat belt indicator light and turned on the broadcast: "Dear passengers, we have arrived at the final destination. Welcome aboard this flight. I hope we can serve you again on the return flight. Please pay attention to your carry-on items before getting off the plane and don't leave them behind. Your lost luggage will be divided equally among all our crew members."
……
"All the passengers on this plane mentioned in their memoirs that this was the first time they felt how precious life was." Ling Yu whispered to Ma Wu about historical events: "In order to live up to this life, many people worked hard and became great figures in different fields."
……
Before the passengers got off the plane, Martin opened the cockpit window and jumped out carrying Conan, Rabbit and the Minions.
Ma Wu and Ling Yu came towards him, and Martin looked at them carefully under the lights on the runway.
Ma Wu's eyes lit up when he saw the rabbit beside Martin: "Rabbit! Come here and let me hug you!" As he said that, he rushed over and gave the soft rabbit a bear hug.
"I want one too!" After Ma Wu let go, Ling Yu also came over and hugged Tuji.
When hugging Lingyu, the rabbit's little nose twitched, and its three-petal mouth opened wide, looking at Lingyu in surprise. It seemed that it could tell from the smell that Lingyu was the girl it had seen last time.
Conan walked to the side of the plane and observed the slightly sinking road surface of the runway. Visually, the material of the road surface looked like concrete, but as long as he jumped hard, he could feel the road surface sinking.
Obviously, the material of the road surface and the soil and rocks below the road surface has changed, and the change is only local. The place where Ma Wu and Ling Yu were standing just now was definitely not a trampoline, otherwise they would have been bounced away by the plane.
After seeing Conan trying the trampoline, Ma Wu reached out and snapped his fingers when Conan jumped high.
When Conan landed, he felt pain in his legs and discovered that the road beneath his feet had turned into a truly hard concrete pavement. He had jumped from a very high place and landed hard on his knees without any cushioning or recovery movements.
Conan gasped and limped back, looking at Ma Wu with a complicated look: Why are you so weird?
Behind Ma Wu, Suzuha winked at Conan and mouthed: Lao Deng 2.0.
Suzuha wanted to remind Conan that in many aspects, the brother and sister were not very similar. They could only be said to be carved from the same mold and were exactly the same.
When Ma Wu saw Conan coming, she ignored his accusing look and took out a headphone-shaped object from her pocket, the same one she wore on her ears. After operating a few times on the small screen on it, she lightly threw it to Conan.
"What is this?" Conan asked as he put it on his ears obediently.
"Twenty years later, the personal terminal will have simultaneous interpretation function for you, converting Chinese to Japanese." Ma Wu explained: "You can study other functions by yourself later."
"Huh? You gave it to me?" Conan was surprised, and at the same time he understood why Ma Wu could understand what he said on the radio but couldn't speak Japanese.
What Ma Wu said just now completely turned into Japanese in Conan's ears. What's even more amazing is that although he only wore one ear, Conan couldn't hear the original Chinese version of what Ma Wu said at all.
"This thing won't be expensive in the future. I can ask you to reimburse me when I get back. Omitted."
Ma Wu made a face, turned around and naturally put his arm around Martin's arm: "Let's go, brother, let's find a restaurant first. We haven't had dinner yet and we are starving now."
Looking at Ma Wu's natural look, there was no sign of it being her 'first meeting' with Martin and Conan at this time. After all, it was not the first time they met for her.
Martin, who was experienced in all kinds of strange things, got along with her very naturally and let Ma Wu carry him while walking.
"The airport is so quiet." Martin looked around as he walked. There was no one anywhere, not even a staff member to handle the Boeing 747 and put the passengers down. "How did you book the airport?"
"Why did we book the airport?" Ma Wu said, "I just let them all fall asleep."
As he said this, Ma Wu snapped his fingers again.
The sleeping airport suddenly came alive again. All the lights that had been off were lit up, the terminal, control tower, and runway became bright, and the sounds of people's activities could be heard.
"Is that so..." Martin raised his eyebrows. Xiao Wu was obviously demonstrating, or showing off his abilities, from radar silencing, radio hijacking, then shutting down the engine, enhancing gravity, changing the ground material, large-scale power outages and large-scale hypnosis... What kind of ability can achieve all these effects at the same time?
"Great Detective." Martin looked at Conan: "What abilities do you think Xiao Wu possesses?"
"It should be the properties of the object being manipulated, right?" Conan guessed, "Reducing the accuracy of radar, making the ground elastic, and making humans more prone to fatigue."
"Wow, you're so close on your first try." Ma Wu sighed, not really paying attention, "You're worthy of being a great detective."
"Just close?" Conan was still not satisfied. Of course, who would be satisfied?
"You want to modify the numbers?" After Conan threw a brick, Martin had the confidence to draw a jade: "As long as it is a number that you can detect its existence, you can change it."
Engine temperature, aircraft gravity, radar power, radio channels, and even human sleep time.
There is no doubt that this is a perverted ability equivalent to opening the Wind Spirit, Moon Shadow and Eight Gates Divine Artifacts in the real world.
Ma Wu clapped his hands softly: "Isn't your guess too accurate? It's very close to the correct answer, and it has to be my brother."
After saying that, Ma Wu made a face at Conan again.
As a traveler to another world with five years of experience, this was easy for Martin to guess, but there was another question waiting for him to analyze - why do this?
In Martin's family, having superpowers is nothing new. Growing up in such an environment, Ma Yi and Martin would tell others about their abilities. Ma Wu probably wouldn't consider her abilities as something worth showing off - what is she trying to express to herself by showing off? To prove her strength? To prove her fighting ability?
A glance between the brother and sister across time was enough to communicate each other's ideas: Ma Wu wanted to sign up for the group and get involved in the matter of the main god space that Ma Jia had mentioned to Martin.
