Chapter 20: Where Are the Heroes (3)
Thanks to the efforts of the crowd, the thick ice covering the doorway was shattered.
But people's mood is still heavy, as if there are thousands of heavy objects hanging on their hearts, and they can't breathe.
Silence shrouded the hall.
"We can't let the Ice and Fire Ghost continue to kill," the man in the helmet said to break the silence, "The teacher was killed, and now [Ninja Hero] and [Rock Hero] are also dead." If this continues, the heroic society we have built with great difficulty will be finished! β
"So what do you say?" A man with a rooster mask and known as the Flying Eagle Hero picked up his words, and his tone was sarcastic, "I know that I have the ability to go to the lair of the Ice and Fire Ghost and cut him down here." The great disciple of the savior hero? β
The helmet man was silent for a moment and said, "We are heroes, not gangsters. β
"You just can't beat it!" The Flying Eagle Hero cursed and threw the rooster mask on his face to the ground, "The days of heroes and evil parties are behind - heroes are just a profession for me!" If the evil party can give me an official position after taking power, and I don't have to be angry with the government, this is not bad! β
No one refuted him, and the only grumpy, exploding hero powder keg present had yet to climb out of the pit thrown into the wall by the Spectre of Ice and Fire.
The world has changed, and as the beacon of justice falls, society will be in turmoil.
If the Savior hadn't died, and the Ghost of Fire hadn't made a fuss at the funeral venue, perhaps people would have laughed at him and had the Hero Office revoke his Heroic License.
But there is no if. Now, almost everyone is thinking about the possibility of his words.
yes, what if the evil party comes to power?
"Yes, I can't beat the Ice and Fire Ghost," the Helmet Man said, "I'm afraid the only person in the world who can crush the Ice and Fire Ghost is the Teacher." But he's gone. β
"Isn't that ......?"
"Just because I can't do it doesn't mean that others can't. Justice is a bond that will be passed on from generation to generation. The helmet man pointed in the direction of Wu Hao, "The teacher's son, the person who inherited the teacher's spirit and ability." In time, he will be able to become an opponent of the Spectre of Fire and Ice. β
That skinny boy, the son of a savior hero?
His eyes focused on the maid in the corner of the auditorium and Wu Hao, who had fainted, with horror and expectation, but more ...... Smell a rat.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to live up to your expectations, Lord Shadow of the Mist." The maid lady replied with Wu Hao who had fainted, her voice neither humble nor high-pitched.
"What's wrong with Wu Hao?"
Seeing Ethel, the Fog Shadow Hero was slightly stunned, but this emotion was quickly calmed down, and he turned to worry about Wu Hao.
"He got into a fight with the powder keg two days ago because the powder keg said something insulting to the master." The maid lady said, "The injury has not healed yet, and the sequelae have just broken out and I have fainted." β
"Just his little body! If you can't even beat the powder keg, don't let him die at the Ice and Fire Ghost! Lest outsiders laugh at us heroes and no one! The Eagle Hero is still sarcastic.
"Okay," the helmet man sighed, "wait until Wu Hao's injuries are healed...... Let him come to my office, you can! β
"No problem, Your Excellency." The maid bowed slightly, her little face drooping, hidden in the deep dark shadow.
"Then we'll leave first."

Wu Hao woke up slowly.
It was still the same little bed and the humble room, and night had fallen, and the maid was sitting on a stool on the side, and she couldn't see her face clearly.
He narrowed his eyes, already guessing what was happening.
"These two days...... Let's stay at home for a while. "It's not safe outside." β
"What's the insecurity law?" Wu Hao smiled, "It's just a madman who made a fuss at the funeral venue in order to release his anger, why do you want to lock me up, Ethel-chan?" β
"It's not that the ...... is closed" It's rare for Ethel to be a little short of words, she sorted out her words, and said, "It's not that simple to make a funeral with the ghost of ice and fire, it's a political signal...... Young master, you are still young, you don't understand. β
"It's you who don't understand! IJssel-chan! Wu Hao raised his voice, "Daddy doesn't want us to be shrunken turtles if he wants you to protect my safety!" Seeing Daddy lying in a coffin like this, seeing so many people in the auditorium losing their lives because of this so-called [political signal]! You don't feel it at all! β
He tried his best to imitate the flesh and blood of the body owner. In addition, I watched 400 skill points flying around in the air, but I couldn't beat it...... It really feels humiliating.
Ethel didn't speak, her face buried in the crook of her arm, silent.
"Besides......"
"Besides?"
"I suspect that the one who killed Daddy was not the Ghost of Ice and Fire at all."
"Why do you think so?"
Ethel raised his head, his agate-colored eyes glowing, curious, and seemed to have a little ...... Gratified?
"The Ghost of Ice and Fire not only killed Daddy, but also made a fuss at his funeral venue, what emotions do you think he is based on?"
"Hate?"
"Yes, hate." Wu Hao pulled his socks on and pulled his shoes, "Since the Ice and Fire Ghost has hated Daddy to the point where he can't let him walk with peace of mind." Then why did he leave a whole corpse? β
"The young master said so......"
"I'm just stating a fact," Wu Hao's tone was flat, "Don't you think this is weird?" β
Ethel stopped talking, and Wu Hao's analysis echoed a big hole in her heart.
Of course, it is also possible that after Dad was killed by the hero of ice and fire, the heroes present rescued him. However, this is unlikely. Wu Hao said.
"You can also see that at the funeral venue, the ghost of ice and fire is like no one in a no-man's land, and no one present is his opponent. If he really wanted to leave his father's body behind, who could stop him? β
"There's another thing I find strange," Wu Hao said, putting his right hand under his chin and puffing out his cheeksβa gesture he usually used to talk to himself.
"It's the Ice and Fire Ghost that stopped after killing the stone head. He had killed so many people before, and he obviously didn't care about human life. But he stopped at that point. β
"If we were killing at Daddy's funeral for reasons of hatred, we should have been killed. Or leave only one person and let him ventilate to outsiders, and root the fear of the specter of ice and fire in the hearts of the public, I believe it is impossible for him not to understand this, but we survived, and many more survived. Why? β
"That is?" Ethel looked at Wu Hao.
In him, she saw the shadow of another person.
"Hmm," Wu Hao snapped his fingers, one of his hands grabbed the doorknob, "Daddy wasn't necessarily killed by the Ice and Fire Ghost." Here are my conclusions. The ghost of ice and fire made a big fuss about the funeral, I'm afraid there was another reason. β
He was about to pull the doorknob when a white thread floated through it, pulling his hand tightly.
It was Ethel, and there was still no expression on her face.
The lace sleeves of the maid's suit had disappeared and turned into a thread that bound Wu Hao.
"When it comes to this, won't you let me move, Ethel-chan?" Wu Hao smiled bitterly, "You don't want to watch your master die in a daze, and you can't even see the shadow of the real murderer, right?" β
"How are you going to find out?"
From eyewitness checks, Wu Hao said, "The first person who said that [Olmet] was killed by the ghost of ice and fire must be hiding something!" β
"Then, I'll check with you." The girl stood up, her voice calm, "Keep you safe." This is also the last task that the master gave me. β
