24. Heroes Meeting

City A, the headquarters of the Hero Association.

There were more than a dozen S-class heroes sitting in the conference room, they had different appearances and expressions, and the overall atmosphere was very dull.

The automatic sensor door opened, and Chairman Siqi, who was in charge of directing the hero's battle, walked in, accompanied by two of his men.

"Guys, I'm sorry I'm late."

Siqi walked straight to the conference table with a large electronic screen.

The meeting began with a solemn expression.

"Except for the S-rank No. 1 hero blast that can't be contacted,

Outside of the 6th Hero Metal Knight of the S-Rank,

Now all 15 S-Class heroes of the association are present.

Hmm, there's another one who is the 5th hero of the C-rank, Saitama-kun,

He showed strong strength in the meteorite incident in Z City,

He was jointly recommended by Genos, the 16th hero of the S-rank, and Banggu, the 3rd hero of the S-rank, to participate in this meeting.

Saitama-kun's presence today,

It was supposed to be something to celebrate,

But because this time it's an emergency,

can only postpone the celebration ceremony,

I hope to get Saitama-kun's understanding. ”

After listening to Siqi's introduction to Saitama,

The heroes responded with great enthusiasm,

It's just that it doesn't make Saitama happy.

For example, the Atomic Samurai said that Saitama should first obtain the qualification of an S-class hero before he can sit here,

And Tatsumaki even aimed the finger at Saitama's bald head.

There are also heroes who know the importance of things,

For example, the silver fangs that are good at the Flowing Rock Crushing Fist - Banggu.

"Excuse me, what is Chairman Siqi looking for us people to do?

Does the so-called emergency refer to the disaster events that occur in various cities today? ”

"Bang Gujun has a point!"

Siqi breathed a sigh of relief and praised Banggu, an old man who knew the general world.

Then he took the report handed over by his glasses subordinates, and read solemnly:

"According to the association's incomplete statistics,

Today, there have been at least 33 disaster events with a disaster rating of tiger and above.

More than 60 monsters with a disaster level of Tiger and above,

Quite serious damage was caused to various cities and hero associations.

Property losses are omitted,

Hundreds of casualties have been lost in various cities.

15 heroes of the Hero Guild were seriously injured and incapacitated.

Among them, the heroes above A level are,

Injured in the hands of the ghost-level monster Deep Sea King are 11 A-rank heroes - Stingers,

19 A-rank heroes - Lightning Max,

There are also A-rank 29-rank heroes who have just made a comeback and were seriously injured in B City-Golden Ball, and A-rank 33-rank heroes-Springbeard. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room became solemn.

Although the strength of A-class heroes is far inferior to the S-class heroes here,

But since you can seriously injure so many A-rank heroes,

Presumably, even they will have a headache when they encounter it.

Of course, S-class heroes are all guys with full personalities,

There will always be people who will come out and spoil the atmosphere,

For example, tornadoes.

"It's all small roles, if I had been asked to go earlier, it would have been solved in one fell swoop."

Ignoring the whining tornado, Siqi clenched his fists and coughed, his expression becoming more and more heavy:

"In fact, these powerful eccentrics and the disasters they cause, although they can be called emergencies,

But that's not the real reason why the Hero Guild summoned you all so carefully. ”

"Huh?"

"Not the real reason?"

"Is there anything more terrifying going on?"

"I just thought, what's worth waiting for me for so long for these little roles?"

The heroes were amazed by Sage's statement, and there were deliberate mutual discussions, and there were also arrogant fellows who were triumphant.

"Gentlemen, I would like to remind you that you should pay attention to the time when those strange people appear and disappear."

Siqi waved his hand and let his glasses display the results on the screen of the conference table.

"Look, the time when the Deep Sea Clan and the Deep Sea King appeared in J City was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon today,

The time when the monster of the beast clan appeared in City B was also around 3 o'clock in the afternoon today.

The time when the insect people appeared in Z City was around 3 pm today.

What does this mean? ”

Siqi waved his hand to stop the Tong Emperor's answer,

In a slightly frightened tone, he continued to explain:

"Just looking at the time when the weirdos appear is not the most terrible,

The most terrifying thing is the time of their evacuation, you see......"

Siqi pointed to the line of numbers in the middle of the screen and read in a heavy voice, "5:15:19 p.m.!" ”

Repeat again in an emphatic tone, "5:15:19 p.m." ”

frowned, swallowing with difficulty,

"Although not all the weirdos are evacuated at this moment,

But according to the careful analysis of the staff of the association,

More than 90% of the weirdos changed from an offensive state to a retreating state from this moment.

Take the King of the Deep Sea who appeared in the disaster shelter in J City as an example,

Before 5:15 p.m.,

The King of the Deep Sea is still clamoring to kill the thousands of citizens of the Vault,

After this moment,

But it immediately gave up its prey,

Evacuate from the shelter very quickly,

The purpose of the whole process was very clear, and there was no hesitation. ”

Saitama raised his right hand and wondered, "Didn't you say that it was the unlicensed knight who defeated the King of the Deep Sea?" ”

Without waiting for Siqi to answer, the Atomic Samurai sneered contemptuously:

"What a joke!

No matter how bad the King of the Deep is,

It's also a ghost-level weirdo who defeated two A-class heroes in a row,

Undocumented knights are just C-rank heroes,

How can you defeat the Deep Sea King in an instant,

And force it to evacuate quickly?

That is, you kind of ignorant guy,

Will you think that C-class heroes are qualified to stand side by side with S-class heroes, right? ”

"This ......"

Saitama scratched his head and grinned, not retorting the atomic samurai who clearly looked down on him.

"Please don't speak to my teacher in such a reprimanding tone."

Genos unceremoniously blamed the Atomic Warriors.

Banggu saw Saitama's true strength in the meteorite incident,

It was he and Genos who jointly recommended Saitama to attend this meeting,

Naturally, Saitama is also vigorously maintained.

Others are doing well,

But Tatsumaki doesn't know what's going on,

It has been targeting Saitama since the beginning of the meeting,

At this time, she spoke out to help the atomic samurai,

I almost got into a fight with Genos.

"Gentlemen! Now is not the time to care about these little things,

Please turn your attention back to the topic I brought up earlier. ”

Siqi persuaded for a while,

to appease these heroes with full personality.

"All the weirdos appeared at about the same time,

And then they began to evacuate at about the same moment,

This illustrates an extremely serious problem.

These weirdos are not the stragglers who appeared sporadically before,

It's an organized and commanded group of weirdos.

Although I don't know what exactly they are,

But there is no doubt that

This is a great threat to our citizens, our city, and our entire Hero Association......"

There was silence in the room, and no one objected to Sickey's conclusions.

The evidence is conclusive, and it is useless for them to argue strongly.

Everyone was listening intently to what was going on behind Sickey.

"The association deduces that the powerful organization behind the weirdos must have an extremely sinister purpose,

Most likely in the near future, maybe even tomorrow,

will be for our citizens, our city,

and the major action of our Hero Association itself.

Here I announce an important resolution of the Association,

After truly finding out the true cause of this incident,

Or before finding out the true purpose of that weirdo organization behind the scenes,

In order to prevent the recurrence of situations like Demolition and Metal Knight,

Please temporarily live in the dormitory provided by the association for a period of time.

It's not mandatory,

This is my solemn request to all of you as the chairman of the Association's Action Committee. ”
