The world needs more heroes

Philomena has changed.

When Dick finally saw Philomena who lived across the door after a few days, he clearly felt this.

She seemed to have stopped trying to disguise her identity in front of her. When she opened the door and ran into him, Philomena didn't even give him a look. The girl seemed to have completely frozen herself back into the thousands of miles of ice. , She was wearing earphones, with one hand in her pocket, and there was no expression on her gorgeous face, as if the huge scar had never existed.

"Philomena—"

"Ding."

The sound of the elevator arriving interrupted Dick's words. As the elevator door slowly opened, Philomena didn't pay any attention to it. Her long black curly hair floated slightly as she walked. The shoulders were jumping, and the sense of agility and Philomena's expressionless face even formed a feeling of conflict.

"Bang!" Philomena pressed the door close button, and the elevator door swayed shut. The sound of closing was not loud, but it sounded like a heavy knock on Dick's chest.

The young man stood at the elevator entrance for a while, then he sighed, turned and opened the door, and went back into the house.

In the elevator, Philomena's eyelashes trembled slightly. She hadn't been to "Heroes for Justice" for several days. Overwatch seemed to have temporarily disappeared from the city. In the past two days, someone has been pushing The special asked a few questions in doubt.

It seemed that they wanted to test whether Overwatch had withdrawn from the metropolis. On the third day, several robbers began to rob Overwatch's jurisdiction.

The people who appeared were not Overwatch agents, but Nightwing and Supergirl who came from other places.

#Overwatch Missing

#未未先锋Give up Metropolis

#where did they go

The topics in the real-time hot search are almost all about Overwatch. This superhero organization that turned out to be born half a year ago has always been very mysterious. Except for their figures in the dispatch videos shot by passers-by, basically no one knows their information. , at most you can see what each agent's ability is.

Philomena's mobile phone pushed another message, which was the Twitter of the Metropolitan Police Department she followed. Their official operations staff found that the retweets on their Twitter had been flooded, and most people were on Asked about the whereabouts of Overwatch, but they actually had a hard time saying it. Although the agents of Overwatch would notify them to come and escort the criminals after they caught the criminals, when they arrived, those agents had already disappeared.

It is not at all as guessed on the Internet, Overwatch has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Police Department.

She picked it up to look at it, and then locked the phone screen again. It wasn't that she was depressed and decided not to guard Metropolis anymore, but after she learned that Peter Parker was Spider-Man that day, she returned home and was furious in the room After two laps, I decided to find something to do for myself.

She asked Athena to start analyzing the thing from the other world.

In consideration of the safety of the metropolis, she had no way to take out the items and analyze them by herself, so she asked Athena to do a simple analysis of the items in the equipment library.

The equipment library is a subspace controlled by Athena, and it can only do the most basic scan. Athena failed to analyze it in the last scan, so this time Philomena asked Athena to divide the item into equal parts. , analyze one by one.

As a result, when the furnace part was analyzed, Athena's voice suddenly became distorted.

[Abnormal System Intrusion, Abnormal──Upgrade System Invasion──】Electronic sounds trembled in the gentle female voice, as if the original setting code had been destroyed. Two seconds later, Athena’s voice suddenly disappeared from her disappeared from my mind.

It didn't show up for a week.

The Overwatch system can be opened, but now Philomena only has the most basic transformation function left, and even the extracted skin is gray in my mind, and the huge [upgrading] hangs high on the system top of the .

Such a weird system state made her very worried. If something went wrong during the transformation and battle, it would be a trivial matter if her identity was revealed, and she might die on the spot. Therefore, she chose one afternoon after school and transformed into a Sombra, who appeared directly in front of Kara Zor El, told her in a cold voice that Overwatch was performing a secret mission recently, and there was no way to take Metropolis into consideration.

"Did something happen?" Supergirl didn't seem surprised that her secret identity was picked up by the world's number one hacker. After all, she heard from Green Lantern that during the battle against Doomsday that day, the representative of Overwatch, Angela Zi Dr. Guller has already mastered Batman's true identity.

That's Batman!

Since even Batman's identity can be hacked casually, it doesn't seem to be a big problem that she, a Kryptonian who is not very good at computers and disguises, can't hide her identity. The identity of the hero was exposed, and Kara believes that this is closely related to their happy cooperation in the Metropolis in the past six months.

"It has nothing to do with you." Heiying dropped this sentence coldly and then disappeared handsomely in place. Kara blinked and sighed: "This teleportation skill is really cool!"

After using Sombra to arrange things during her shift, Philomena began to study the [Upgrading] hanging high on the Overwatch system, and the slow-moving progress bar below that line. The week has just been upgraded to halfway.

What is that thing from another world?

When Philomena frowned and thought, the elevator just reached the first floor, and she stepped out. The city was blowing snow in winter, and the cold weather outside made Philomena, who was wearing a scarf, still unable to bear it. Shaked a bit.

She looked up and looked outside, suddenly she didn't know why she wanted to step out of the warm room.

There are also heated foods at home, whether it is microwave rice or pasta, and she has hoarded canned food of various flavors in the past few days, but she seems to be used to it, bringing dinner home every day on the way from school At home, when I turned on the light at home, I saw the pile of fast food on the kitchen cabinet through the open design.

Today was a holiday, so she didn't have to go to school. She stayed at home all day, and she didn't feel a little hungry until now. Subconsciously, she put on a thick winter coat, took a key wallet and walked out of her warm house.

Peter Parker has been quiet for several days, since the day his secret identity was discovered by Philomena.

Philomena, who was standing at the gate of the apartment, suddenly came back to her senses, and when she realized that she was thinking divergently, her gloomy complexion suddenly darkened, she pursed her lips, and finally He opened the door of the apartment.

The biting cold wind blew into the house from outside the door. Philomena hesitated for two seconds before stepping out of the house.

Come here.

Philomena wrapped herself up and stepped out into the biting wind of the metropolis.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and it seemed that everyone was sealed in the house by the too cold weather. There were tiny flakes of snow floating in the sky, dripping onto Philomena's uncovered face. After rubbing it, stuffed it into Nuan Nuan's pocket, looked up at the moon in the sky.

Even though it was snowing, the moon was so big that it was unreal. The round moon was full and floating in the sky, just like the dazzling sun during the day.

The shops on the side of the road are lit, and the light projected from the window is thinly spread on the ground, as if forming a road made of light, and the occasional partition in the middle makes this place look more real.

Philomena shrank her neck, and buried her warm neck into the scarf again, and faintly smelled the seductive aroma with spicy taste in her nose.

Coincidentally, it was the Thai restaurant near the apartment again.

The delicate fragrance faintly seduced Filomina's stomach that hadn't eaten all day. With subconsciously flooded salivary glands, she shrank her neck and walked towards the shop.

When she closed her eyes slightly, the [upgrading] in her mind was still beating slowly, and it took a long time for every one percent to go.

She pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked into the warm room, leaving the cold of the metropolis behind, allowing the door to isolate all wind and snow.

Even she sometimes wants to escape from time to time.

"Let go of your unnecessary worries, mother bird?" Jason on the phone rolled his eyes fiercely on the other end. He was busy jumping and parkouring in the air at the moment, and he couldn't even see the monster chasing him closely behind him. I haven't seen it before, Jason even took out the blade of the great caste that deals with magical creatures, but still failed to cause damage to that thing, he could only attract the monster's attention, and then he met the two in a sparsely populated place in Gotham. An Outlaw's teammate walks the thing like a kite in the game.

Fortunately, they don't look like Yazi with a low IQ.

"She looks even colder than when I first met her...like you when you just came back—a less irascible version—but colder, I think, than the temperature outside the metropolis now It’s going to be cold.” Dick put on his battle suit, and prepared to routinely perform his night patrol in the Metropolis for the last six months: “Why are you so noisy over there—I just heard Bizarro smashing things again Yet?"

"He didn't smash randomly, it's just that his hands and feet are heavy." Jason retorted, the gun in his hand ignited the gunpowder, and the anesthetic bullet flew out of the gun chamber, and landed on the running sick precisely. Unhappy, but the body is like a steel-like monster: "Damn it, how could such a thing appear in Gotham."

Just as he was complaining, the sound of "Boom!", which was not loud, caught the attention of the three outlaws. Jason's complexion suddenly darkened. He didn't need to turn his head to know who was standing behind him. who is the person.

"Red Hood." Gotham's darkest and darkest Dark Knight said in a low voice. The mighty little devil next to him was wearing a green domino mask. Even Jason could guess the unruly expression through the mask. Chu.

The young man hung up the phone with a sullen face, not intending to let the content of his quarrel with the old man reach the ears of the nosy mother bird, so Dick had just recovered when he heard the ruthless "beep beep— ─”.

"..." With the dazed feeling of being hung up on the phone, he wore a thin tights and felt the cold and demented night wind of the metropolis by the opened window, and began to thank Bruce for being a man. rich man.

Rich enough to equip thin tights with a built-in heating device.

The urban hero of Brudhaven jumped into the biting cold wind without hesitation, and disappeared among the tall buildings. At the same time, Philomena had just paid for the meal, and she was carrying her full stomach out of the restaurant.

She will never eat so full again next time, she solemnly warned herself that the growth rate of the recent savings has slowed down a little due to the daily eating out.

She is relying on the professional managers of the Stark Foundation, venture capital consultants and the group of powerful lawyers to earn her living. Now she is just a high school student without any job. If she wants to make money, she can only use black shadows to do illegal things act.

But although she is not a good person, she also has her own most basic principles.

"Swoosh!" A black shadow slipped into the alley beside the street from the corner of Philomena's vision. Philomena was keenly aware of this, her eyes sharpened sharply, and she ran Then rushed into the alley, there was no one in the alley, because it was a dead-end alley, there was no opening at the end of the road, and the light was blocked by the two tall buildings next to the alley, the alley was very dark.

Philomena narrowed her eyes. There was no sound at the end of the alley, but she subconsciously felt that something was wrong. The girl looked around and found that a few steps inward was the dead end of the surveillance, and because of today's damn weather , there is no one on the street, even the Thai food that was usually full just now is empty today.

She got into the shadows, blinked vigorously trying to adapt to this dark place, and then she saw a scene that made her worldview collapse a bit.

At the end of the alley stood a creature, a creature Philomena had never seen before.

The black smooth fur is like the finest silk, shining in the faint light, the noble mane flutters in the air as he sways slightly, there are no eyeballs in the empty eye sockets, and It was replaced by two dark blue will-o'-the-wisps, standing less than three meters away from Philomena, and the only light source in the alley turned out to be the eyes with the will-o'-the-wisps.

The creature seemed to be hostile to humans. After seeing Philomena following in, the subtle murderous aura stimulated Philomena's nerves in the air. Overwatch logo on left wrist.

In the blink of an eye, Philomena went from a high school girl helpless in the face of weird creatures to a powerful cyborg ninja, leaping backwards out of the alleyway.

In such a narrow alleyway, he couldn't even swing Muramasa's demon sword. Although the tall buildings on both sides can improve her mobility, it is best to keep a distance when facing such a huge monster.

Philomena leaped backwards and landed on the street lamp. A group of people came faintly from a distance. They seemed to be friends who had a dinner party during the holidays, so they talked and laughed in such cold weather. Walking together, cheeks flushed with cold but still smiling happily.

She faintly heard their exclamation: "Is that---Genji?"

"Oh my god! It's really her! Overwatch is still in Metropolis!"

"I thought they had evacuated. Is something happening in the past few days?"

"I don't know, is there a robbery or something?"

The low voice of the discussion could not escape Genji's sensitive hearing. Philomena had no chance to focus on them at this moment. The creature seemed to see that Philomena was going to fight with him, and hid in the alley He jumped out quickly and attacked Philomena like a black shadow.

Philomena directly pulled out Wakizashi's waist, "Clang!", like the sound of two iron weapons colliding in the silent night sky of the metropolis, Philomena held Wakizawa's hand tightly and was caught. Slightly numb from the shock, she double-jumped awe-inspiringly, the mechanism at the phalanx opened according to her will, the ninja caught the flying target, and threw it at the thing with lightning speed.

Yet she missed at all.

The creature seemed to be moving very fast, and until now Philomena didn't even know what kind of creature it was, except for the one in the dark alley that could see the whole body.

The crowd in the distance also seemed to have seen this scene, and they backed away with their mobile phones that took pictures, and their voices became farther and farther away: "Don't trouble her."

"What the hell is that, has anyone caught it?"

"There is only a black shadow, how far do we have to retreat?"

"As far back as far, don't you want to die?"

The separated line of sight and attention was only for a moment, but at this moment, the other party directly caught Philomena's flaw, and after one blow, the strange creature that was invisible again entered the alley with eyes burning with will-o'-the-wisp. He suddenly appeared in front of Philomena, thanks to Philomena's extraordinary reaction nerves, she was able to take the move with Wakizashi instead of the half body made of this omnic.

"Bang!" The semi-omninic ninja was kicked a few meters away, and slammed into a distant building. The loud sound caught the attention of the surrounding residents. They opened the windows and saw the man lying on the ground. The figure turned back and staggered the enemy's attack, and jumped onto the street lamp by the street again, dangerously.

Seeing the people from the two dessert shops and the clothing store next to her even wanting to check what happened, Philomena abruptly swallowed back the fishy sweetness that reached her throat, and then her hoarse voice was slightly vigorous The anger and the distortion of the electronic sound resounded in the street: "If you don't want to die, don't come out!"

Her voice stopped their movements very well. When Philomena moved from time to time, she saw that almost everyone closed the windows tightly, but looked out through the glass, their eyes widened. Even if Genji is the only person in sight, the speed of another enemy is so fast that they can't see clearly, and they will never tire of it.

The monster seemed to have regarded Philomena as an enemy that must be defeated, and the alley as a place to temporarily hide its body.

Philomena felt as if she was facing the Man of Steel, the only difference was that she was not facing a human being from Earth...or any planet.

After being kicked twice in a row, Philomena, who was not in a good mood, felt a faint anger sprouting in her heart. She retracted her threat, and held the demon sword Muramasa on her back with her right hand, and the evil breath came from The knife that was slowly drawn out from her back escaped, she squinted her eyes, seized the moment of the enemy's attack, held the Taidao tightly with both hands, and made a standard horizontal slash, and hit him directly at the moment of avoiding the enemy's attack The right front hoof of those four hooves.

After the creature lost a front hoof, it fell heavily to the ground, paddling a few meters away, and this allowed Philomena to finally see the opponent clearly.

In less than five seconds after he fell to the ground, the severed front hoof on the ground turned into flying smoke and disappeared into the shadows, while the creature's severed hoof grew back at the same time. He stood up from the ground, A strong and powerful body with strong and beautiful muscles is staring at Philomena.

Maybe not a monster.

The black fur reflected dazzling light under the moonlight, but the most eye-catching thing was far from the overly beautiful fur, but the sharp horns on the front of the creature's head.

It was a black unicorn with a burning will-o'-the-wisp.
