Chapter 69: I Took the Task

"I'll go, I must have been in the heat again." Returning to the alley where he was, Ke Wen, who had been relieved of his transformation, walked out chattering, ready to turn back to the convenience store, and get back the cigarettes he had stored there, and the things he bought for 8 US dollars could not be thrown away.

Although he accepted the applause of the people, Kewen still didn't think about what he should do, saving people from fire and water and intervening in a battle for the throne can't be compared, the latter is much more dangerous. After buying another bottle of beer, Kewen squatted in the alley and got bored, not knowing what to do.

"Kid, you did a good job just now~" An old, but neutral voice sounded behind Ke Wen.

"It's nothing," Ke Wen replied without replying. Then he reacted, and when he turned around, he saw an old man leaning against the wall and waving to him. An old man in good spirits. "Were you talking to me just now?" Ke Wen knew that he had exposed his stuffing before, so he hurriedly pretended to be crazy and stupid.

The old man didn't pay attention to Ke Wen's pretending to be crazy and stupid, walked up to Ke Wen, and squatted down with Ke Wen. took the cigarette butt in Kewen's hand and extinguished it, "Smoking is not good for your health." ”

Ke Wen stupidly retracted the action of preparing to continue lighting a cigarette, looking at the old man who was squatting beside him, looking a little mysterious, he didn't know what the old man wanted to do with such a play.

"Child, you don't seem to be happy, isn't it good to help others?" The old man asked.

"There's nothing wrong with helping others, but that's if I'm not in danger. If you knew you were going to die, would you still help others? Kewen asked rhetorically.

The old man was silent for a while before he spoke, "Do you know? Kid, I'm a screenwriter who specializes in superhero stories. When these masked heroes really appeared in our world, I thought they were too majestic, like gods, such superheroes were perfect, but because they were so perfect, it made me feel that they were beyond our reach, and the superheroes I wanted were not like this. And you, you inspired me to see the other side of superheroes, and when they take off that uniform, they are just like us, confused, sad, afraid. So, if you really don't understand why you want to be a superhero, you might as well think about why you worship superheroes in the first place. ”

The old man was very talkative, and after patting Kewen on the shoulder, he stood up and walked down the alley. And Ke Wen is thinking back to the old man's words, why did he like Kamen Rider of Tokusatsu in the first place, the first point is handsome, the second point is the charm of Kamen Rider, each knight in the Heisei series has his own most distinctive personality, these distinct personalities make Ke Wen still chase every special effects even if he grows up.

I also fantasized that one day, I could become a Kamen Rider, such a grotesque dream, but when the dream really appeared in front of me, I had already been smoothed out by reality, and at the age of twenty, I learned to be sleek, sophisticated, and occasionally hot blood has become a brainless manifestation in other people's mouths. The young man who used to be stupid in the sun and gestured for knight transformation had long since disappeared, but the old man's words reminded him once again of how stupid he used to be.

"Hey, sir, you said you're a comic book writer, can you tell me what kind of superheroes I inspired you to create?" Ke Wen didn't look back, and asked loudly.

"Spider-Man~"

"Spider... What? Ke Wen was startled, turned to look, and found that the alley was already empty, and the old man was as if he never existed. I'm special... What the hell! ”

Ke Wen was shocked by this bizarre scene and didn't know what to say, but he didn't think about it so much, maybe it was just a parallel universe projection with the same name and surname. He patted the dust off his body, threw the cigarette case into the trash, and sank into the system space.

"System, I'll take this task."

[Received, side quest opens, Battle for the Throne of Atlantis (1) - Protect the safety of the Sirens of King Zebel, mission details, let the Sirens return to Atlantis safely, good luck, host.] 】

Listening to the system's explanation in his mind, Curvin also returned to the hotel, and the sirens and Calder and Tula were still frowning, and they had not yet come up with a foolproof plan.

"Phew, I've been outside for an hour, haven't you figured out what to do?" Ke Wen couldn't see the direct entanglement on his face, and asked indifferently.

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just that I don't know how to choose." Calder glanced up at Curvin and responded.

"Oh? Let's hear it, I'll give you a choice, after all, the bystanders are clear. ”

Cowen poured a glass of water for the three of them, and sat on the bed with one himself, waiting for Calder's next words.

"Two ways, one, here waiting for the return of the king of space, although he is building the watchtower, but according to the time, that is, these ten days and half a month. Two, now immediately return to Atlantis, whoever wants to assassinate the siren is, he wants the siren to die on land, because only then will Atlantis have to go to war with the land nation, and even the king of the sea will not be able to control it. ”

After listening to this, Ke Wen drank the water in the cup directly, and said directly: "Don't think about it, choose two." ”

"Why?"

"One is the safest, but the Justice League is far away, how can you guarantee that you will be able to protect the sirens in the next time, here, you don't know anyone, and so do I. And the second plan, as you said, is that the other party wants the siren to die on land, and only then can he continue to make trouble, so as long as the siren returns to Atlantis safely, then no matter who that guy is, he has to hide his evil thoughts, and even try his best to hide himself. ”

I don't know if it's because he no longer looks ahead and backwards, Ke Wen's brain suddenly came alive, and every sentence was very organized, not at all like the previous IQ rush.

"But..."

"But there are only three of you, and there is no guarantee that you will return to Atlantis smoothly, so you need a bait, a bait that can confuse your vision, and the bracelet you gave to the siren should have recorded the siren's life mark, otherwise those guys would not have been able to grasp the siren's position so quickly."

Curvin said, pointing to the bracelet on the siren's left hand.

Calder nodded, "Yes, this bracelet is not a special prop, basically every member of the royal family and nobles has it. That's why I didn't let the siren take off this, with it, at least there is a clue, and if we lose it, we will die and we don't know who did it. ”

Then Kewen got up, walked up to the siren, took off the bracelet on her left hand, and put it on his own hand.

"Now, you have the bait and the clue."

Kewen's actions puzzled the siren, this was not Kewen's business, but now his bracelet was worn on Kewen's hand, which was her favorite bracelet, even if she took a shower, she wouldn't take it off.

"Don't get me wrong, if you have been on the land, those guys hiding in the shadows will always be looking for us trouble, maybe we can hide for a while, but ordinary people can't, your Atlantis's technology is crushing for our land, and besides, it was not easy for the Sea King to let Atlantis temporarily put down his sword on the land, you don't just plan to let them raise it again."

Looking at the surprised eyes cast by Calder and the others, Kewen quickly explained. Although he is enthusiastic again, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with these royal family members, and now the situation is bigger to ensure peace on the sea and land, and at worst, it can be a hero to save the United States, but if he is really familiar, he will come to him for help in the future, so how can he mix it if he doesn't help.

"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have dragged you in." Tula also apologized to Kewen at this time, regardless of whether Kewen was suspicious or not, at least now, Kewen's simple choice made Tula feel ashamed.

"Don't say that, I'm a superhero anyway, and it's a bit of a shame not to do anything knightly under the guise of a Kamen Rider. Also, if you're sure, it's best to get ready to leave today, the sooner you get to Atlantis, the sooner I'll be liberated. ”

"But where do we go from here?" The siren also knew that it was not the time to play tricks, so he asked Ke Wen, and unconsciously, several of them took Ke Wen as the core.

"This one is relatively simple, remember the dockyard I rescued you from?"

"Yes."

"You leave from there, and the most dangerous place is the safest." Kewen laughed.

"When are you leaving?"

"Now, take this, when it transforms, it's time for you to set off, it's not too early, you guys get ready, I'm going to go out."

"What are you still doing out there?"

"Buy a locomotive, since you are a knight, you have to look like a knight~"

Waving his hand to the three people behind him, Ke Wen left in style, ready to buy the first locomotive in his life.
