Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

The destruction of the ancient monster's eggs on the construction site was just an episode in daily life.

Even in TV dramas, although monsters appear in every episode, days, weeks, or even months have actually passed in the series.

These moments are the background settings that the audience will not see, but are crucial to the characters in the story.

Xia Long has now become a role that must participate in the background setting. That is to say, if there were no waves, he would hardly have taken any action or participated in the construction of the ancient monster eggs, and now he has to participate in more routine work.

The content of the work even made him sigh.

"It's so outrageous that I'm even speechless."

Xia Long unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and drank some water in the car.

He had just completed a job. Someone said that strange things happened in his company. There were noises in the company at night when no one was there. Something was stolen but nothing was found when the surveillance camera was called. Crying could be heard in the toilet.

Then something like this happened, and the Tucker team actually came. Xia Long felt his blood pressure rising.

Did the previous incident at the construction site cause something wrong in the minds of those people, causing them to become polarized?

There was not even a shred of solid evidence, something that could be said with just one mouth, but it was not enough for the troops who were responsible for dealing with serious incidents to come and investigate.

The minister is out of his mind, he should look for the reason in himself. He is actually endangering public resources because of this. Does he know how much the Tucker team is lacking in manpower?

To be on the safe side, Xia Long checked it thoroughly using the power of the Yabo people, but found nothing.

Shanzhong got into the driver's seat with a grunt, cursing under his breath, and closed the door with great force.

"What an idiot! You call the police for everything that doesn't happen. If you keep going like this, the Tucker team will be the cause of all the urban legends in the school!"

Xia Long turned his head and looked at Shanzhong. Shanzhong noticed the obvious gaze and looked back at him somewhat unnaturally.

"What's wrong."

"The next task is the supernatural legend of the nearby high school. You know, the seven incredible ones."

Perhaps every school has a senior who committed suicide, or there are boring ghost stories told by boring people.

Yamanaka slowly opened his mouth and muttered to himself.

"This kind of thing is not handed over to the police, but you actually want us to take action?"

“Maybe the police think so too.”

Yamanaka turned the steering wheel and said angrily, "I admit that there are monsters on the construction site, but what the hell are these supernatural legends? What kind of monster would pretend to be a ghost to scare people? If the invaders are so boring, then it's just playing house!"

"I think so too, but let's drive, even if it's just a perfunctory move, and get the job done quickly."

Shanzhong drove away cursing.

After arriving at the high school, Xia Long and Shanzhong got off the bus. There was a teacher waiting at the school gate. After seeing their uniforms, he hurried up and told them about the strange situation in the school.

I listened to the teacher chattering in the mountains.

Xia Long was observing the school and snorted unconsciously.

Although no one dares to smoke openly, and no one walks around with yellow hair in a frivolous manner, every building has its own atmosphere. Sometimes you can naturally get a sense of what the school is like just by walking in and looking at the appearance of the students.

It's an ordinary school, but you can occasionally see a few arrogant ones, but the overall situation is quite different.

Xia Long saw a few people sitting on the steps not far away, looking over here with laughter and cursing, but no one knew what they were talking about.

The person sitting in the middle saw him looking at him, and didn't seem afraid at all. He just didn't say anything, but looked at him with a smile on his face.

Xia Long stared at him expressionlessly for a few seconds and then looked away.

From a distance, he could still hear the voices of several of them talking.

However, Xia Long didn't care about the discussion and attention towards them. He just turned his head and thought coldly.

If I wasn't on Team Tucker, I would really like to teach them a lesson.

Xia Long certainly has a moral bottom line, but teaching a few street urchins a lesson is obviously far from enough to make him feel guilty, especially when he has the corresponding superpowers. It is better to say that he has a hot temper and does not care about promotion at all. He dares to take action against idiots and villains no matter who they are.

Although if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing may be related to some ordinary people and extraordinary people, principles and so on. But many things are gray, and although Xia Long will not ignore that kind of thinking, he will not be completely bound by that kind of thinking. He is not a real judge.

It's so boring.

Yamanaka and Xia Long followed the teacher in, intending to conduct a "field investigation".

Xia Long really felt a little bored. To be honest, he didn't think anything would happen in a place like this, but to be on the safe side, he would still investigate it. He didn't want to listen to the teacher's nonsense. He had heard enough of the nonsense of the greasy and arrogant minister in the previous mission.

Xia Long found an excuse to come out of the Academic Affairs Office and stayed next to the skywalk between the two buildings. He put his hands on it and watched the students coming and going before class.

—Until that thing walked behind him.

Xia Long did not turn around immediately, and did not even notice it at first, but when that thing was so close to him, the black feeling was difficult to disappear from his sight.

It was like a wolf walking up from behind.

Xia Long didn't dare to investigate. He turned around pretending to be calm, with his hands and arms behind his back, but his eyes were looking at the woman who had walked past him but was gradually getting farther and farther away from him.

She was a female student, and one could tell at a glance that she was probably a student of this high school.

She was wearing a school uniform, had long, smooth black hair, and was wearing a school uniform, leather shoes, and black mid-calf socks on her calves.

Unexpectedly, Xia Long suddenly wanted to look into her eyes.

It was just a sudden thought, but Xia Long suddenly felt terrified by his own thought, because in his imagination, the figure had turned around as he wished.

Those were a pair of black eyes, so black, like the sea covered by dark clouds and flowing with shattered glaciers in the dark night.

The God of Destruction is not around. That guy is based in Tokyo, and this is Kyoto. Even if he asks the God of Destruction to come here immediately, it will take time, and by that time, nothing will be possible.

If I call out to her, that would be the worst move. A "seed" has been planted in that girl. With that seed, if anything happens to this girl, the person behind her will already know about it. Maybe even the person behind her is currently keeping an eye on this school.

If you act rashly, you will be discovered.

[There are many things that Fire can do. 】

Suddenly, the Yabo man who had not appeared in his mind for a long time said this.

[Shut up, you should know you can't do anything now. ]

[Just some reminders, don't be so nervous, let me explain it to you. ]

Xia Long watched the girl go away, and Radsuju seemed to think for a moment, then spoke.

[The so-called Yabo people are the name of a highly evolved race, which is also the name of our group. But in the beginning, we were just ordinary life forms that knew nothing about the celestial bodies. We were afraid of the appearance of monsters, but at the same time we worshiped certain monsters. We were afraid of natural storms, but at the same time we worshipped the power of nature. In other words, we were completely primitive tribal life forms. But later, we gradually evolved and progressed, and progressed with wisdom, just like you humans.]

[Of course there are people who are born as beings from another dimension, but they are rare and their values ​​are very different from those of ordinary material universe beings.]

Xia Long did not speak. He continued to calm down and listen to Radsuju's conversation, while restraining his strength deeper inward so that he would not be discovered.

[There are certain powers in this world. For most of your groups, they are considered to be supernatural and incredible powers. We also thought so at one time - we can only say that the Yabo people and humans are not very lucky - but as we gradually step into the starry sea, technology continues to expand, and research on life itself has emerged. It is not just to eliminate diseases and pain, but how to make life go further. It is natural to move towards this step. ]

[Fire is such a thing. The earliest fire was a nanomachine, that is, artificial power. This nanomachine was implanted into the human body, so that the Yabo people had extraordinary power, faster reaction, less education time, and even more...entertainment. But later, we evolved more, so the life form of the Yabo people also changed greatly. Even if we don't need the help of machines, we can influence the outside world with the power of cell cohesion, and even influence reality with spiritual willpower, but the name of fire continued. 】

Xia Long looked at the students passing by. Most of them didn't dare to look at him too much. When they were far away, they could still look at him a few more times with curiosity. But when they got closer, they became very reserved, looking forward stiffly as if taking a photo, not daring to turn their heads.

Xia Long pretended to be observing the students while listening to Radsuju's words. He knew that Radsuju had not finished speaking.

[That is to say, fire is like steam, electricity, and nuclear power. It does not carry any emotional bias. You can blame someone for shooting someone, but you cannot blame the gun itself for why the trigger was pulled. The fear you feel, the so-called darkness, is just because you are too influenced by me. You are afraid of guns because you know they are dangerous. It is not that guns themselves are something to be afraid of. For example, as a member of the Tucker Team, you use guns to eliminate foreign invaders. Don't you trust them? ]

[What do you want to say? You mean...] Xia Long thought about it.

【Only my fire is special, full of resentment and hatred. Only your fire is special, soaked in resentment and hatred. Therefore, your fire can easily stain other people's colorless fire like ink. It was so easy to kill Rubica before, ah, that fellow of mine who was killed by you at the scene of the monster discovery. But in fact, the danger is you and the fear of the fire that you thought was engraved in your genes. For others, the fire is just a kind of power, and the use of power depends on the user, not the power itself.】

[......Even so, what I sensed was not false. The girl was inhabited by darkness.]

Radsuju let out a few chuckles.

[Yes, this is your unique ability. You are the only one who can accurately perceive other people's negative emotions, and even absorb the remaining memories of the earth itself. The girl is indeed inhabited by darkness, but I only want to say one thing, it is not the Fire Seeds and the Yabo people who are wrong, but the darkness inhabited by you humans.]

「Oh, this kind of sophistry──」

[Mr. Judge, I am not here to argue with you.]

Radsuju said indifferently, his voice remained unchanged, yet it seemed several degrees colder.

[Our average moral standards are thousands of centuries higher than yours. We know better than you what darkness and injustice are, and we hate this kind of behavior more than you do.]

【Then your behavior...】

【So we are sinners. Every Yabo person who comes to this planet is a criminal who firmly believes that he is a sinner and cannot be accepted by Yabo society. 】

[Perhaps we are guilty, and we are using your darkness to take revenge on the entire human race, but if we have a choice, what human being would wish us? ]

Shanzhong came out of the Academic Affairs Office with an impatient look on his face. The corridor was already empty. It had been more than ten minutes since the class bell rang. He rubbed his head and felt that the director was extremely attentive, but too attentive. It seemed as if he wanted him to finish the investigation quickly and leave quickly, which made Shanzhong uncomfortable.

After rubbing his head, he looked for Xia Long and saw Xia Long standing motionless in a corridor a little further away, like a sculpture, his eyes seemed to be looking at something or in a daze.

"Really, ready to go."

Yamanaka called him, and in his sight, Manatsu Ryu heard his call, came to his senses, and walked over.

The girl possessed the power of the Yawa people, and although it was unnoticeable at first, it naturally became obvious once you got closer.

It was night time, and it was so dark that I couldn't see things in the distance.

Xia Long entered the girl's room. The room was empty except for the presence of a living person. He came to the girl's room, stood next to the door, quietly closed the door, and looked at the girl lying on the bed, feeling conflicted and speechless.

The girl was very pretty, and he could see in the dark, so he could even see a hint of sadness between her brows, which diminished her beauty but actually added to her pitiful look.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes, and Xia Long felt the 'seed' moving.

A faint sound came out, like the sound of a dry throat, "Make a wish..."

That was what the girl was thinking, what she was thinking about was making a wish.

The girl had a wish she wanted to fulfill, and it went without saying who she wanted to make the wish to.

But the Yabo people once said that the power of fire has no self-emotions. In other words, at least assuming that what Radsuju said is true, could it be that the girl's darkness was generated by herself?

That kind of darkness was created by itself, not by the Yabo people?

So he activated the isolation barrier he had set up in advance, and waited until the girl straightened up and saw him. Facing the girl's lifeless eyes that seemed to care nothing about anything, Xia Long spoke slowly.

"Can you really get happiness by making a wish to an unknown being?"

"Can making a wish to an existence that humans cannot understand really bring happiness in the human sense?"

"If I make a wish to them, can I really free my inner feelings in the end and not be devoured by them?"

"Are you sure...that's not a lie?"

Don't make a wish to him, it's a lie -
