Ultra: Heroes Don't Ask Where They Come From

Xia Long does not have Batman's principle of not killing, which is sometimes brilliant and sometimes stupid under the control of different screenwriters, but he was once an ordinary person.

He already knew how weak and powerless ordinary people were in the face of disasters, in that land that was bullied and invaded and roared with resentment. So he was a friend standing on the side of the bullied.

However, his brief experience there changed his life more completely than anything he had ever experienced before, and also cultivated his twisted and unique empathy.

If possible, he actually didn't want to kill anyone on the invading side.

Although this is just if possible, at least he will endure himself until that limit is reached.

But how can we punish the evildoers? Xia Long asked himself.

——It doesn’t matter, yes, there are.

As long as one is alive, it is impossible not to feel pain.

Xia Long knew how to make people suffer unbearable pain without killing them.

It will make you feel utter terror and bottomless torture, and even erode your world.

It makes you feel that death is the most beautiful thing in the world, and makes you cry and scream as you feel despair spread all over your world.

The days get bright very quickly in May, with the sky already light at around four or five o'clock. Night also comes late, and you often have to wait until seven o'clock to see the afterglow gradually shrinking into the strange colors of the horizon.

This morning's weather forecast said that the probability of rain in the morning was 67 percent. That was a rather irresponsible and ambiguous statement. Even if it didn't rain, one could still refute it with a plausible statement like "the probability of not raining is nearly 30 percent."

After everything was over, the two were on the school rooftop.

On the rooftop of the school where people are not allowed to go up, there is no barbed wire, only railings on the edge.

The girl, Ogasawara Aiko, leaned her hands on the railing, looking at the campus where the flow of people was gradually increasing. The noisy sounds could be heard even from this side, but because they were superimposed on each other, they all became meaningless sound waves.

As the golden sunlight gradually rises to the sky, light clouds float in the blue sky. On the edge of such a rooftop, there is no wind and not much fresh and pure air. If I have to explain it, it is that apart from the open view, there is the characteristic of being "high" that makes people uncomfortable.

"Do you still want to die?"

There is a god with a nondescript face next to him. Maybe he is not a god, but he is really a hero of justice. But at least, he must be some kind of strange creature that only appears in fairy tales.

Just like the angels in the Bible.

Ogasawara Aiko didn't say anything, and in fact she couldn't speak.

Angels punish evil and reward good. Ogasawara Aiko is very grateful to God. Although what he did was a bit scary, it was indeed something a good person would do. However, even so, Ogasawara Aiko could not say that she just wanted to live.

What's the point of continuing life like this?

"I said, it's just a suggestion,"

The angel suddenly said, and Ogasawara Aiko turned to look at him, just in time to see the angel's face turned into the face of a strange man.

Compared with the previous face that had no special features, this face is slightly younger, yet has a contradictory sense of maturity. Perhaps it is not handsome enough to be called a star, but it has a unique temperament that cannot be imitated, as if it has experienced things that others have never imagined.

Although in the eyes of Ogasawara Aiko, that is actually normal, because the owner of this face is not an ordinary person.

Even changing the appearance of one's face should be easy for an angel.

"Will you be my daughter?"

"......Why."

"..."

"Why are you so nice to me?"

The angel's face is looking at the sky in the distance.

Unlike Ogasawara Aiko herself, who only looked down, the angel's perspective seemed very broad. Although the intensity of the sun was not very strong, it was still the sun after all. Ogasawara Aiko saw the reflected sun from the angel's eyes.

"I'm not a god. I've been saved by a child like you before...so I know that a child like you shouldn't die so early."

Ogasawara Aiko didn't say anything.

What kind of words are these?

Angels are not angels, nor are they gods. Angels are such human beings.

You can save people like yourself, you can take in people like yourself.

But she really wanted to squat down, hug her legs, and make herself smaller, so small that she would disappear.

She wanted to cry.

......

One morning, Beidou in the base found Zhen Xialong who had not been seen for two days, so he took the initiative to step forward and say hello.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, real senior. How come you haven't come for two days? It's really rare."

Everyone in the base has holidays, but strictly speaking, these holidays are not used casually unless after a mission, but have fixed time periods. However, team member Zhen Xialong used his vacation two days ago and no one knows where he went or what he did.

Fortunately, no monsters or super monsters appeared in the past two days, so the real team members did not have to run back. Beidou was really happy about this.

"I went to do some formalities." Team member Zhen didn't seem to be perfunctory when he said, "Private matters, some family matters."

"A private matter at home?"

Since it was this kind of topic, Beidou didn't continue asking, but he suddenly spoke excitedly.

"By the way, Team Zhen, let's spar. Let's go to the training ground and spar together."

"Discussion?"

The real team member looked him up and down.

"You are really full of energy. You came to spar with me on the first day I came back. Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"

"Because I sparred with Yamanaka during previous training." Beidou answered immediately.

...Is that so? Xia Long could have guessed what was going to happen next even without Beidou telling him.

Did you get any results from the exchange with Yamanaka, and then you knew that I was stronger than him?

With Beidou's personality, he would never let up unless someone reminded him. If he didn't let up, no one in the base except Xia Long could beat him in hand-to-hand combat, even if Beidou's skills were slightly weaker than others.

This is like a 100-kilogram man challenging a 180-kilogram strongman in a ring. It's not that there is no chance of winning, but it's better to prepare life insurance in advance. Or prepare a machine gun.

With Yamanaka's temper, it would be outrageous that he would surrender after being defeated once. He will probably continue to challenge without believing in evil, and end up losing battle after battle.

You can go back and watch the surveillance video of the training ground.

But now Xia Long did not comment on Beidou's challenge. He continued to walk forward, and Beidou said excitedly beside him;

"I heard from the Yamanaka team members that the real team member is also the top one in the team. He can get almost full marks in everything, including fighting skills. He is the one that the instructor can beat without mercy."

"Next time there's a chance." Xia Long evaded the question. He was too embarrassed to tell Beidou that the instructor's description of him was "a three-haired bear."

"I'll have a patrol assignment as soon as I get back. I'll be heading to the Pacific route. Are you okay?"

"No, I just came back from patrol as well."

Their voices faded away, and a surveillance camera in the hallway moved, following their movements.

Yabo man Claypool was observing Hokuto Seiji, who was sitting in a single office at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, cross-legged and looking at the computer.

However, he did not kill the human or replace it. Instead, he possessed it. His computer was seamlessly broadcasting the surveillance video inside the Tucker team's base, and he was watching with his back against the chair, twirling the pen in his hand.

"Is this person not very smart, or does he think that aliens on Earth have not yet lurked to this extent and therefore has nothing to fear."

Claypool shook his head and concluded about another video that was opened on the screen at the same time, which showed Beidou throwing Yamanaka dizzy in the recording at the training ground.

“Like a newborn baby.”

[Some seeds disappeared.]

Claypool said without looking up;

"Let them disappear. There are so many seeds prepared around the world, and there is nothing we can do if one or two disappear."

[What should I do next? Should I use the things I collected to make a big one? ]

"No, let's first use the group of... um, underground people that we have tamed to test it out. Hasn't their monster been transformed into a super beast?"

【it is good. 】
