Chapter 22: Where Are the Heroes (5)
The door opened.
The man in the helmet was still wearing the same black robe he wore at the funeral, and the robe was dragging on the ground and wet.
He walked down the stairs step by step, almost the same pace, one block at a time. The tin boots stomped on the ground, making a "clang" sound.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's foggy outside, come in."
Originally, it was very enthusiastic. But after being processed by the helmet man's voice changer, it makes people feel stiff.
Wu Hao nodded, he looked at Ethel with some concern. Seeing that her face was as usual, he took her little hand and went into the house together.
He said it was an office, but none of the assistants saw it, and the helmet man had converted the land into his home.
The house has two floors, the floor is sky blue tiles, and the walls are red brick and unpainted. Facing the door was a bookshelf, full of books, in unintelligible languages. Further to the left is the sofa, made of mahogany. Above the couch, a short sword was tucked away in a black leather scabbard and hung from a belt.
Wu Hao sat on the sofa, and the maid did not sit, but stood aside.
"The sword of Damocles," Wu Hao smacked his lips as he looked at the short sword, "Is it really good to put it here?" I'm afraid it will fall. β
"The teacher's teaching, justice judges others at the same time, but also judges oneself. That sword is a wake-up call to me. β
As he spoke, the man in the helmet turned on the fireplace, and a blue flame rose up like a ghost beating inside.
"What are you going to drink? I have Longjing from West Lake, black tea from Qimen, and Biluochun from Suzhou......"
"What does the young master want to drink?" The girl turned her head and asked Wu Hao.
"Black tea."
Miss Maid nodded, she wanted to go up and make tea, but was persuaded by the Misty Shadow Hero.
"You are guests, I'll just come to make tea."
I saw the helmet man take the tea leaves out of the teapot, pinch them carefully and put them into the teapot. The boiling water stopped at a height half a meter above the teapot, and it circled around, as if caring for a sleeping child.
Sure enough, there are oddities.
Wu Hao frowned, he probably understood why Miss Maid commented like this.
Afraid of cold and heat, old-fashioned and easy-going, upright and evil...... The scales of contradiction swayed back and forth over the head of this man known as the Misty Shadow Hero, going back and forth.
In general, a person's personality does not show such many facets...... Is it a fine score?
He squinted his eyes in thought, his fingers unconsciously buttoning and buttoning on the sofa, as if he had caught something.
He picked up his fingers, and it was a strand of hair, blonde. It had lost its vitality and lay weakly on Wu Hao's fingertips.
Whose hair?
Wu Hao took a closer look and quietly put his hair into his pocket.

The tea is brewed.
The Shadow Hero put the cup of tea on the tray and brought it over. The tea leaves were tumbling in the cup and still bubbling.
"Let's have tea first."
As if he was afraid that Wu Hao and Ethel would be suspicious, he pulled the helmet apart with one hand, revealing a black slit; The other hand picked up the teacup, and the tea flowed through the slit in the helmet.
Wu Hao's hand touched the teacup, and when he saw Ethel's warning eyes, he put it down again.
He crossed Erlang's legs and asked, "Straight to the point, what are you looking for us to do?" β
"I'm looking for you?" The Shadow Hero was a little confused, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, yes." I'm looking for you. β
What's going on? Forgot what you said in the morning and forgot it at night?
Wu Hao suppressed his doubts in his heart and said: "Let's talk about it first, you have so many hero offices and so many heroes who can't beat the ice and fire ghosts, so don't push a minor boy and a thin girl who has no awakening ability to the front line, we can't." β
The helmet man was silent for a while, he didn't say good, he didn't say bad, but asked another question: "Child, you haven't awakened yet?" β
"How is it possible," Wu Hao spread his hands and said with a smile: "If I awaken my ability, I won't need Ethel sauce to protect me in the auditorium at that time, you say, big hero?" β
"This is a bit of a problem......" The helmet man put half of his palm on the helmet, a little distressed.
"What's the trouble? I think it's pretty easy to do. β
Wu Hao said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's just a ghost of ice and fire, a more difficult evil party." Unite several of the strongest heroes in the world and besiege the Ghost of Ice and Fire, no matter if he can go to heaven and earth, or what powerful abilities he has, it's time to fight the streets, right? β
"It's not that simple," the Shadow Hero said with a wry smile, "You've seen the chaos on the streets, right?" The Ghost of Ice and Fire itself is not difficult to solve, the point is that he killed the beacon of society, Mr. Olmet, and made a big fuss at his funeral. β
"This is the most powerful spring (harmony) medicine for all evil parties. They misjudged that the era of heroic execution of justice has passed, and now it is the era of evil parties. Although they are not as terrifying as the Ghost of Ice and Fire, they are better than the number of people, but they are more troublesome than a single extremely powerful evil party. β
"Oh, yes."
Wu Hao was noncommittal, he took a sip of tea, and was not in a hurry to swallow it.
The dark red tea swayed in his mouth, not sour, not astringent, slightly bitter, and a little honey-flavored.
It is an authentic Keemun black tea and should not be poisonous. But......
He turned his head to Ethel and saw that she nodded slightly, and swallowed the tea.
"Generally speaking, superpowers are passed down from generation to generation," the Helmet Man continued, "[My blessing for everyone] to my teacher is gone, and it can only be transferred to you as an heir." β
"But I haven't woken up yet," Wu Hao said frankly, "Why does it have to be Daddy's ability?" Is there anything critical to his abilities? β
The helmet man took another sip of tea and said, "I just said that superpowers are inherited from generation to generation. The Ghost of Ice and Fire is a rare person in the world with multiple abilities, and the abilities he inherited come from both parents, and he can set ice and fire. At the same time, he also mutated his own superpowers, wall penetration and stealth. β
"The combination of the four abilities is powerful, but it also has an indelible impact on the character of the Ice and Fire Ghost, and he has become arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant."
Persuaded to retire by Hero Academia, he holds a grudge and joins a criminal syndicate. Caught by the teacher. Mr. Ormet commuted his sentence in court, but he didn't know what to do, and even gave the teacher ......"
"What's wrong?" The maid's voice was urgent, "What happened that day?" β
"What happened that day...... I've said it many times to the media, "The voice of the Shadow of the Mist Shadow is flat, but it feels hollow.
"That night, two of the biggest gangsters in Hero City were in a fight. My teacher and I rushed to the scene to deal with it. β
"In a few seconds, the teacher suppressed all the evil parties present, which is a matter of course. We were taking the evil party into custody and were about to notify the police, when an icicle flew towards me......"
"It's the ghost of ice and fire, he's been following the teacher for months, and it's this moment when the teacher is lax. But he was worried that the teacher would react faster than he expected, so he attacked me. β
He knew that the teacher would definitely go to the rescue. It doesn't matter who I am, it's because the teacher is ......"
"In other words, Daddy is ...... to save you"
The man in the helmet stopped talking, his waist bent and his elbows dangling at his knees.
Wu Hao was silent, the helmet blocked the face of the Fog Shadow Hero, and he couldn't see his face clearly, judging from his body language, he shouldn't have panicked.
Could it be that what he said was true?
It was nearly evening, and the sky was overcast. There was no light on in the room, only the flames in the fireplace were boiling, as if someone who had woken up had opened his eyes. The light of the fire reflected on the mask of the Misty Hero, half as bright as day, half as deep shadows.
This is by no means the ability of the Misty Shadow Hero's [Mist Hand] as described by Miss Maid.
Wu Hao suddenly remembered a movie he had seen in the real world, called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", in which there was a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, what did he forget, but he still remembered the plot of the story:
- The Dark Lord takes control of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
He thought he understood the meaning of the system's mission.
