Chapter 7: Haze in the Sun
"Superheroes?" Hugo was surprised, he realized that Hitomi might be a die-hard fan of superheroes, but he didn't expect this woman to be so obsessed with it, and when she saw that she had abilities that were different from ordinary people, she persuaded herself to change careers.

"Oh, then do you want me to be Spider-Man or the Flash?" Hugo joked. Hitomi shook her head and said, "You don't have to be anything else, you just have to be yourself." Looking at Hitomi's extremely serious expression, Hugo realized the seriousness of the matter, and Hitomi was very serious about this matter.
Hugo hurriedly excused himself and said, "Spare me, I can't do this kind of thing." I haven't figured out what's going on with me yet, and I don't have time to mind other people's business, so you don't want me to run around in the middle of the night in my panties and jacket to catch students who don't come home at night. ”
Ah Hitomi said unhappily: "Superheroes naturally don't go back to do that kind of boring thing, what superheroes want to do is to uphold justice and maintain law and order." Hugo rolled his eyes helplessly, and said in his heart that this guy's secondary disease is still very serious.
"Do you want me to be a vigilante in a place of world peace, and to say to people every night: You have failed this city? Please, in the past two years, the number of security patrol posts has been greatly reduced, and the crime rate is less than 1 percent. I don't want to do this kind of career that has no career prospects and is easy to be targeted. ”
"So how did you get this ability?"
"Because—" Hugo paused, and the next words stuck in his mouth and could not be spoken.
Hitomi didn't give Hugo a chance to breathe and asked, "You were killed, right?" Hugo nodded. Hugo turned his head to look at the clock hanging on the wall, the hands had passed midnight, Hugo sighed that time had passed so slowly, and it had only been more than a day since he was killed, so he told Hitomi what happened that night.
After hearing this, Ah Tong pondered for a long time, and finally said incredulously: "I really didn't expect your injuries to be so serious, and your heart was completely destroyed." So you don't have a heart in your body now?" Hugo nodded and said, "The X-ray shows that there is only a black mesh in my body, and it is that thing that replaces my heart and maintains the functions of my body, and it is also that thing that influences me to give me this unique ability." ”
Hitomi nodded and said, "What kind of person do you think the Akame Shrine Maiden you met last night is?" Hugo pondered for a moment and said, "I have thought about this question, and judging from my current situation, that Akame Shrine Maiden should also be a stranger." ”
Hitomi asked, "Then what are you going to do after that?" Hugo said in deep thought, "I will find that Akame shrine maiden and return that heart-wrenching hand." Hitomi walked to the window, looked at the brightly lit streets outside the window, and said softly, "Then do you know how many people like the Akame Shrine Maiden are in this world, this continent, and this street? How can you think that every victim will have a chance for revenge like you?"
Hugo was silent, and Hitomi continued: "In fact, many times the original truth of things is not what you see, and the symbol of peace is only a superficial phenomenon. Do you know how many criminal organizations there are in this new continent right now, how many illegal activities are going on every night in the Thirteenth District alone, and the number and vile nature of them is staggering, but because of all the political factors and the interests of some people, these things are well hidden. ”
Hugo smiled and said, "It's funny, but I think I got the ability." You can't see the light, but you do exist, and your power is extraordinary. Listening to Hugo's self-deprecation, Hitomi also laughed, a trace of fluctuation flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Maybe so, but you are different from them." Then he looked out the window again and said, "I'll tell you my story." I've always believed that there are paraphiles in this world, and you were the first one I ever met, but not the first one I met, and the first one I saw was my mother's murderer. ”
"My father, Yoo Masayoshi, was a non-governmental pacifist who was active in countries around the world despite not having a party affiliation, and was very popular and influential, my mother was a virtuous woman who always supported and helped my father's work, and I also had an older brother who was very smart and excelled in his studies. Our family of four lives happily every day. However, all this is the last warmth before the harsh reality arrives. ”
"Ten years ago, a nuclear power plant leak occurred in Higashijima City, Tsukishima's first ward, which triggered a nationwide riot in Higashijima City, which was very serious in nature. As a peaceful continent and a symbol of world peace, the Tsukishima government attached great importance to the incident and finally decided to suppress it by force. My father was very opposed to this decision and organized several marches and speeches to oppose it. And that's pretty much the origin of the disaster. ”
"One night, my brother didn't come home from school for self-study. My parents and I were the only ones left at home. I went to bed early, suddenly woke up with a screeching noise, and went downstairs, where I watched the most memorable scene of my life. In the living room, the father pressed on his mother and stabbed her frantically with a fruit knife, and her mother had already died of exhaustion in a pool of blood. ”
"I was frightened there when I arrived, and I saw my father crying desperately, desperately crying out for you, stop. But all this was to no avail, and my father's hands still held the hilt of the knife and stabbed my mother frantically. At this time, I saw a man in black standing in the shadow of the living room, and his face could not be seen clearly due to the poor light, but he was faintly seen looking at his father evilly, with a strange smile on his face. ”
Suddenly the man turned to look at me, and I will never forget that cold look in his eyes. I just felt like my whole body was frozen there in an instant, and I couldn't even move crying. My father was still crying and screaming to stop, but the knife in my hand that stabbed my mother did not stop, and I fainted. ”
"When I woke up, I found myself lying in the hospital, and I had been brought here by the security patrol. My father has been arrested on murder charges, my brother has been taken to the police headquarters for investigation, and I am protected as the first witness to the murder. After that, I was subjected to strict interrogation, and I told everything I had seen, but the interrogators did not care about the plot of the man in black. There was no trace of outsiders at the scene of the crime, only the fingerprints, saliva, and hair of my father, and the testimony of the man in black was thought to be a character I had imagined in my extreme fright. ”
This incident caused a great sensation in the world at that time, and the social repercussions were very bad, which attracted the attention of all parties. Only a week later, the trial was held in open court, and my father's testimony on that day was even more surprising to my surprise, he fully confessed to his murder and accepted all the rulings of the court, and the court subsequently handed down the trial of the father to life imprisonment. ”
"My brother and I couldn't accept my father's confession and the verdict, but it wasn't something that our two helpless children could decide, and I was not even 10 years old at the time. That event changed my brother and me completely, and a happy family was shattered, one brutally murdered, and the other imprisoned. My brother was even more depressed because of this, and he was once inspired to become a basketball player, and he only looked at computers and books every day, going in and out of various laboratories, hoping to numb his nerves with academic research. The relationship with me has also become more and more estranged, he now works in the company, and only comes back once every few months, and each time he comes back for only a few hours, he will leave when he sees that I have nothing to do and leave a living allowance. For the tragedy ten years ago, it is my brother who can't let go. ”
"For ten years, the nightmare of that night haunted me, and I couldn't figure out what happened that night. The last absurd thought came to my mind, that there were paranormal beings in this world. And the person who killed my mother that night was not my father, but the man in black who controlled my father! And my father also confessed to the trumped-up crime in order to protect my brother and me. ”
Hitomi turned her head, her handsome face was full of tears, and her eyes were red from crying. Hitomi sobbed: "Hugo, do you know why my favorite superhero is The Flash? Because like me, his mother was killed, his father was wronged, and finally he used his own ability to finally find the truth of the matter." I really envy him very much, and I hope to be able to clear my father's grievances like he did. However, I don't have this power, I ......" At this point, Hitomi couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly.
Hugo walked up to Hitomi, wiped away the tears on Hitomi's face with his hand, hugged him into his arms, and gently stroked Hitomi's back, who wept silently in Hugo's arms. After a long time, Ah Hitomi stopped, wiped his crying red eyes and said with a smile: "It's ugly for you." ”
Hugo smiled and said, "You're not ugly, you've always been beautiful." Now let's discuss how I can make myself prettier, and what kind of clothes will look better when I go out to maintain law and order?"
