I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"Do you feel fear? Do you feel scared? Or... do you feel despair?"

In front of Bai Sheng, the man named Scar wantonly laughed at the restrained "Investigator of the Bureau" in front of him.

Just like those who used to laugh at themselves!

"It's a pity that I don't have the same ability to taste despair as my Lord. Otherwise, it would taste very delicious to you now——"

"Oh, is that all? Do you believe that [Heroes] have already surrounded this place? All of you are just waiting for federal legal sanctions?"

Bai Sheng smiled disdainfully.

"Oh? Hero? Where is your so-called hero? Are you talking about the fake [Magician] next to me? Hahahahahaha!!! Stop joking!"

Scar scratched the scar on his face, almost bleeding.

"The hero you are waiting for will not come. This is a place covered by sacred objects blessed by our Lord! But don't worry, we will naturally let you go back after your soul is completely sacrificed."

Scar said with a ferocious smile.

"Then, let you bring us more souls!! Your heroes will not save you! They will only kill you in the end!!! This will end everything for you!!"

"Even if you kill me! I won't let your conspiracy succeed! Moreover, for you scum, heroes will come to punish you sooner or later! No matter where you run away to the end of the world!"

The messy bangs still couldn't hide Bai Sheng's shining eyes, but they made Scar so annoying.

It’s unbearable and raging.

"Oh, even so, do you still believe in those heroes? Before that, let me taste despair——"

Turning around, Scar calmed down and ordered to his men.

"After 5 minutes, prepare the ceremony and throw it into the pollution pool."

"Is it too surprising?"

Mynock said hesitantly.

"What? Are you going to disobey me? Or have you had some unnecessary thoughts during your [hero] career for so many days?"

"No, no! I'm worried that the additional actions will affect my Lord's plan. After all, I caught this investigator lady, and I hope to achieve my Lord's purpose perfectly. Since my Lord will come again tomorrow, Bring her the most complete despair, so why not quietly watch her dying struggle?"

Mynock said this, his expression full of worry.

"Is that so?"

"Of course it is, boss."

"But that's not what you said in the mirror, Mynock——"

Unprovoked, strange voices that were neither male nor female came from all directions in the entire factory, mixed with various indescribable noises.

Everyone present was stunned. They frowned and looked embarrassed.

Then, the sounds gradually gathered in the reverberation, and finally concentrated on the mirror in the center.

An illusory figure appeared here.

"Scar, give me your body."

"Yes, my lord."

There was no reluctance at all, but instead he was full of enthusiasm and offered his body.

In just a moment, the feeling he gave people changed drastically. It's like a vicious dog turned into a dragon.

Opening his eyes, this time, only the dark eyes were left.

Like a black hole, there is no longer any light left.

He, or should I say Him now, turned his head and looked at Mynock.

"Tell me, why did you betray me?"

The demon named [Mephisto] asked.

"Betrayal? No! I didn't!"

Mynock said hurriedly, as if he was busy proving himself.

"Look! I followed your plan! Disguised as a hero! Attracted the attention of the administration! Pretended to reveal information, assisted the other party's actions, and finally turned the army around and captured the other party's agents! You see, I accomplished everything like this Perfect!"

Mynock hurriedly ran to Bai Sheng's side, pointed at him and said.

"Then here's the problem... The shadow of this young lady told me that she seems...not a federal agent at all, just a little trainee reporter-"

His dark eyes looked at Mynock, but he couldn't read any meaning from the other person's silent expression.

"Or do you think this was all a mistake?"

The space seemed to be broken.

In just the blink of an eye, Mynock discovered that his body had been firmly locked by something like a mirror fragment.

Even if he just moves, his limbs will be cut off by the sharp fragments on the mirror.

Bai Sheng, who was standing nearby, was not affected and was protected by a slightly glowing shield.

"Did you even give her the protective props given to you by the Management Bureau? It seems that these six months of pretending to be a [Hero] have indeed had a great impact on you. Mr. [Magician]?"

Mephistopheles glanced indifferently at the glowing iron piece in Bai Sheng's pocket, and moved his fingers lightly.

The next moment, broken and jagged glass shards pierced Mynock's limbs.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"

Cutting muscles and piercing bones, the cold breath on the lenses could not numb the painful nerves. Instead, his spirit was cut and pierced by them.

Caught in a wave of pain.

"Because you don't want to drag down the people you dragged into danger? You also hinted that the other party pretended to be an investigator of the Bureau to avoid being directly silenced. Trying to delay time to wait for the arrival of support? Have you passed the detailed location to the Bureau? Oops, ouch. , It’s a pity that I can’t see it so clearly when I’m possessed, but it doesn’t matter.”

Ignoring the screaming Mynock, Mephisto looked at Bai Sheng again.

"You know, only by destroying every desire, every persistence, and every hope in the human heart can the best despair and the best disaster be born. Since you want to be a hero so much, why not taste the hero first? How about a tragedy? Like watching the innocent people he implicated sacrifice in vain? What do you think? Mynock."

"Mr. Mynock..."

Bai Sheng looked worriedly at the bloody Mynock beside him, then turned to stare at Mephisto with an angry look.

"Don't look at me like that~ Young lady, I have no intention of taking your life, but I am quite curious about your will——"

Mephisto waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"Even in this situation, I don't feel your despair. Instead, I feel your extraordinary faith. Why do you, humans, trust [the hero] so much?"

The dark eyes were like an abyss, staring at Bai Sheng. Even though he knew that he should not continue to look, he unconsciously stared at the darkness that swallowed everything.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you.

Now, Mephistopheles sees her past.
