Volume 1 - "The Beginning of Everything" "Two" A hero on the edge of darkness
"Hero Continent, 2997"
"It's 8:30 a.m. on March 1, 2997!
A woman in her thirties in professional attire shouted excitedly at a small ball floating in the air with a microphone.
This ball is the latest camera equipment for official live TV broadcasts, and it automatically locks on the subject in high definition without delay.
However, the most amazing thing for everyone is the efficiency of this group of staff, as long as there is a situation, they will rush to the scene as soon as possible, which is even more punctual than the heroes.
The thug in front of him, dressed in exaggerated costumes and possessing gigantic psychic powers, turned into a giant and held the bus in his hand, using it as a weapon and slammed it into the surrounding buildings.
Numerous building stones were splashed into the street, and the entire shopping street reverberated with the terrified screams of ordinary people, and the raging laughter of the mob was in stark contrast to the screams of the crowd!
The crowd screamed and ran away, the scene was chaotic, and several patrolling policemen were shooting at the giant, but to the strange man, the bullets were just a little stinging, and they couldn't stop him at all.
"The hero hasn't appeared yet! Could it be that this street is going to be destroyed like this! Hero, come and save us!" the hostess screamed exaggeratedly but realistically, and from time to time debris smashed at her, she protected her head and kept dodging, but her ethics as a live reporter made her insist on staying in this area.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly burst into cheers, and unlike the previous screams of fear, the joy could be clearly heard in the sounds.
"Cheers! It's a hero! Let's turn the camera in the direction of the mob. ”
A winged white photographic ball quickly rises into the air and flies in the direction of the mob, but in fact the hero does not appear, only a symbolic item of a hero.
Countless vines sprang out of the sewer covers everywhere and spread all around the mob, each one as large as a grown man's thigh.
The vines wriggled and converged like a mass of giant pythons around the mob, and surrounded the thug in just an instant.
"It's just a pile of plants trying to trap Lao Tzu!" the thug yelled angrily, struggling to stomp on the vines on the ground, two or three of which were broken by his stepping.
However, this action seemed to annoy the group of vines, as if stimulated, countless vines shot out towards the thug, from his legs to his waist to his head, the vines quickly wrapped his entire body layer after layer.
The vines turned into 'cocoons' and completely enveloped the mob!
Even though the thug was struggling with all his might, the hero who controlled the vines did not let him go, and the vines wrapped around him began to tighten gradually.
After just a few minutes, the thug's whole body convulsed and fell down violently, and there was no movement, and the thug was strangled unconscious, and the vines on his body played a good cushioning effect, and did not cause much damage to the ground at the moment of falling.
"The hero who stopped the monster's vandalism this time is the mysterious man again! He has never shown up but has succeeded in stopping the monster every time! Who is he, is it a man or a woman!When did this hero, known as the Vine Man, appear in front of the people!" The hostess shouted, this scene is really too familiar, there have been several such situations in a row in the past few months, and each time it is the vines that appear out of nowhere to stop this group of evil thugs.
Even if this hero is not a powerful opponent, because of his mystery, everyone will often talk about it, and over time everyone will call him the mysterious vine man.
But there is also a group of people who do not recognize the identity of this hero, and this is because......
"Wait, that hero hasn't stopped attacking! Could it be that the previous scene is going to happen again!" The hostess noticed something unusual, after the thug fell, the vines did not stop winding around him, and were still gradually tightening!
A moment later, a large amount of blood splattered from the gap between the vines!
The thug was directly entangled in the vines and exploded!
Although this scene was completely obscured by the vines, it was not difficult to imagine what the arrogant thug had become under the vines when he saw the amount of bleeding.
This is the reason why a part of the crowd does not recognize this person who uses the ability of the vine as a hero, his methods are too cruel, and every time he shoots, unless other heroes are present, no thug can survive under his hands, and all the thugs are killed by him using the vine.
The methods are so cruel that they are considered to be a murderer who kills thugs to satisfy his desires, and he cannot be called a hero at all!
Those who approve of him call him "The Vine Man", and those who don't call him "Night Killer"!
This is the only continent in the world, the Hero Continent.
I heard that this world was not like this a long time ago, there were many continental plates in the world, but one day, under the condition that science cannot explain, all the continental plates converged and collided greatly, causing all the continents to become a huge continental whole, and this continent was renamed the Hero Continent decades ago.
Decades ago, due to an accident, some humans gained strange abilities, but the powerful power did not bring social stability, but caused the whole society to fall into chaos.
Every day, there will be weirdos, thugs, and degenerates destroying the city, and the traditional army of weirdos with magical abilities is simply not capable of contending with it, and at this time, ordinary people with strange powers volunteer to stand up against them, and this group of people is revered as heroes!
It is the existence of heroes that maintains the peace of society, so here in the continent, heroes are relied on and loved by everyone, without exception, every child is eager to grow up to be a hero.
In a certain alleyway of the super convenient commercial street in District 2, you can easily see where the thug was just now, but it will not be noticed.
In the corner of the alleyway, a sixteen-year-old boy was sitting on a wooden box, panting, with a mask just taken off around his neck, and he didn't pick up the energy drink in his hand and take a sip until he was out of breath.
The young man is about 1.75 meters tall, with gray-green hair, a pair of gray-green cloudy eyes, and a white and pure face, although not handsome, at least it makes people look comfortable.
The costume on his body is somewhat similar to the ninja costume in the movie, with a black tights, a light and close-fitting design, and the headband, goggles, elbow pads, gloves and other parts are all pure black.
The reason why they wear headbands and goggles is because teenagers are worried that their hair color and eye color will be remembered, and they wear gloves and elbow pads to make it easier to climb over and hide in some dangerous places.
Just as he felt almost recovered and wanted to get up and leave, a car came and stopped right in front of the alley and turned on its headlights, lighting up the entire alley. Suddenly, the boy put on a mask in a panic, turned over and hid behind the box, although he thought that what he had done before was a righteous thing, but because he had been told not to reveal his identity, the boy was very careful to hide himself every time.
A middle-aged woman in a suit got out of the back of the car, the woman looked in front of the headlights, the teenager could hardly see her appearance, but from the familiar body shape and consistent dress, he already recognized who this woman was.
"White leaf mulberry...... You're still so ruthless, it seems that you don't have any good thoughts in your heart. ”
"Aunt Wang, are you kidding?" Seeing that it was a familiar person, Bai Yesang breathed a sigh of relief, pulled down the mask, and said flatly.
For the kind of "evil" that has no survival value, only by stifling it can it be truly "good". ”
When Bai Yesang spoke, his gray-green eyes flashed with a strange fierce light.
That year, six years old.
Shiraha-san thinks that heroes are always "kind".
This year, sixteen years old.
Shiraha-san discovers that the hero's worst enemy is "kindness".
