Chapter 2: The Strange Man Appears
After getting off the subway and looking at the bustling Z city center outside the subway station, even Beatrice, who has lived for 400 years, can't help but look left and right as if she looks and ages.
In this modern city, it can be said that every part of it is extremely new to Beatrice.
Wood looked at the curiosity on Beatrice's little face, hesitated, and did not immediately take Beatrice back to the no-man's land, but walked around the most prosperous area in the center of Z.
Now the war between the Hero Association and the Weird Guy Association is about to begin, so both the Hero Association and the Weirdo Association should be secretly accumulating strength.
In other words, the period before the start of the war is the calm before the storm, and there should be no powerful monsters to attack, so it is good to take advantage of this calm period to familiarize Beatrice with the world.
But we can't take it lightly, we have to be careful and careful in this world...... Be careful!
However......
Now there is an extremely awkward question in front of Wood.
He was tragically lost.
On the side, Beatrice stared blankly and said, "Isn't this the city you live in?" ”
"Isn't that normal?"
Wood said with a look of course: "Normally, people's activities are only at home, at work and in supermarkets, isn't it? ”
"Oh~~~"
Beatrice made a long note that made Wood feel a little weak.
Although he has lived here for a long time, in this kind of world where strange people may appear at any time, he doesn't even dare to wander around a remote place like a no-man's land, let alone a city center with an extremely large flow of people.
For weirdos who are naturally penchanted to exterminate humans, the city center is simply a natural slaughterhouse.
However, on second thought, Wood let go.
Mr. Saitama has lived in Z City for more than 20 years and will get lost, and it is normal for him to get lost.
Having said that, Wood still ran to the mobile phone store and bought two mobile phones with the money he had previously obtained from swiping his face......
"What is this?"
Beatrice flipped through her mobile phone, looked for a long time and pressed the power button, and the mobile phone screen lit up, which startled Beatrice: "Babble~~ It's on, is this little thing a meteor?" What is the structure inside, is it a magic ...... that sets up a glow?"
Looking at Beatrice with an excited face, Wood checked the direction with the map, and then explained to Beatrice how to use the phone as she walked.
Beatrice was very smart, and it didn't take long for her to learn how to use her mobile phone to access the web, and if she didn't see anything she was interested in, she would ask Wood first, and then use her phone to start looking up on the Internet what was the use of this kind of thing.
Along the way, Beatrice was like a hundred thousand whys, always with countless questions, asking about the traffic lights and asking about the car. After asking about the car, ask about the gasoline..... Anyway, as long as Wood answers, then there are basically things that Beatrice doesn't understand...
Still, Wood didn't feel impatient.
The two of them just walked and stopped, as if they were walking to buy some things while heading towards no man's land.
However, this peace was shattered when the two were about to leave the city center.
"Bang ——!"
With a roar, a high-rise building in front of it collapsed, and the smoke and dust rose into the sky in the next second, spreading out to the surrounding areas, blocking out the spilled sunlight, as if a sandstorm had suddenly rolled up, making the area a little gray.
The sudden change was like a basin of cold water, which made Wood's face change in an instant.
"Weirdos?"
Beatrice's face sank, and after carefully storing the phone into the subspace, she looked up in the direction of the center of the smoke, and her brow couldn't help but furrow.
The building was twenty stories high, and even if many people were not at home during the day, the number of deaths was definitely not small.
Although she had heard Wood say that the world was extremely cruel, she did not expect so many humans to die in front of her eyes on the first day she came here.
"Blame... Kook!! ”
"It's a horde of weirdos, it must be the weirdo association!"
"Hurry up and notify the Hero Association."
“……”
Listening to the voices of the crowd running towards him, Wood's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled Beatrice to the side.
Hordes of weirdos?
Could it be that the Weirdos Society is going to war with the Heroes Guild so soon?
Thinking so, Wood looked towards the center of the commotion, but the scene that caught his eye made him stunned, not because these weirdos were strong...... It should be said that on the contrary, the weakness of these weirdos makes Wood a little strange.
Most of them are wolf-level weirdos, and the remaining few are tiger-level, and there is only one ghost-level weirdo among them.
"Are these weirdos?"
Beatrice's little face grew cold, she didn't care much about human death, but the timing of these weirdos made Beatrice extremely dissatisfied.
"It's okay to kill these weird guys, right?"
"It's okay to kill it."
After confirming that there were no other weirdos around, Wood nodded, and then changed his words and said very seriously: "However, your wrong thinking must be corrected. ”
"Huh?"
"When you encounter strange people, your first instinct is to destroy them." Wood said with a serious and righteous face: "In the future, when you encounter the same situation, you should first observe your surroundings, prepare your escape route, and then flee to the nearest shelter. Of course, if the other party is weak, it is also good to bully the weak! ”
"......" Beatrice.
"You remember, I am a cadre of the Hero Association, and I am the largest donor of the Hero Association, all the heroes have taken my money, and it is only natural that they protect us. If you run up and fight the weirdos at every turn, won't my money be spent in vain? ”
This ......
Beatrice rolled her eyes, she was really a scum as always, how did she choose this bastard.
"What's the use of you running away if the whole world is in crisis?"
Wood blinked: "It's better to die late than to die early." ”
“……”
"What's more, it's so sad to die early, you watch those anime...... No, in the biography, which is not the villain who first extinguishes a large part of the cannon fodder, and then the protagonist appears on the stage to turn the tide and save all the people who died late; So as long as you live to the end, there is hope. ”
“…… You have a point. ”
Beatrice was frustrated by Wood's words, and it was really embarrassing for her to have such a contractual partner.
However......
"Makes sense!!"
A voice suddenly interjected, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that the strange people had come to the front at some point, and they all looked pensive......
The corners of Beatrice's mouth twitched, why did the villain naturally reach a tacit understanding with his own?
The ghost-level weirdo among them looked at the two of them, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face: "However, obviously, you two are going to become cannon fodder to be destroyed first!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the weirdos also had sneers on their faces.
"And, a patron of the Hero Society?" The ghost-level weirdo showed a sneer on his face, obviously not believing Wood's words, and sneered: "If that's really the case, then treat you as a welcome gift for joining the weird people's association, and maybe you can even mix with a cadre!" ”
Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed in Wood's eyes.
These weirdos are obviously not from the Weird Society, they should be people who saw the newspaper this morning and want to join the Weird Society.
Although the newspaper was to divide the Association of Humans and Heroes, it was also a signal to summon weirdos, and it was normal for weirdos to come when they heard the news.
The only thing that makes Wood strange is why these weirdos came to City Z?
The Weirdo Guild doesn't always exist in City Z, right?
Wood's thoughts were spinning, but in fact, it was only a few seconds, and the ghost-level weirdo who was the leader saw that the two of them did not react, and his face suddenly showed annoyance.
"Kill them!"
At the sound of an order, the strange people who couldn't bear it anymore rushed forward one after another.
"That little girl left it to me, the fine skin and tender meat must be very fragrant to chew."
"Whoever grabs it is whoever's!"
“……”
Wood and Beatrice glanced at each other, and Wood took a step back as he saw the divine power rise from Beatrice's body.
Beatrice had not fought in four hundred years, and Beatrice had obviously itched her hands, and if she didn't let her try these weirdos, she might have to fight with herself next.
