Chapter 57: The Fate of Heroes

Morgan's body trembled slightly, but there was an unconcealable anticipation in his eyes when he looked up at the bad sun.

The expected light of the fire was unusually faint, like a match struck in the cold night.

"Looks like you know me, that's going to be easy."

The corners of Bad Day's mouth rose silently, revealing sharp canine teeth.

His cold, one-eyed prosthetic eyes stared at Morgan as if he wanted to see her through.

He sat across from Morgan with a big grin, his legs crossed.

"Coincidentally, I've heard of you too. Kelpie...... Right. ”

This is not Morgan's code name as the killer, but the name given to the unnamed killer by the Executive Department when investigating the person she killed.

Because the person she killed, if the body is found early enough, will see inexplicable water stains on the deceased's body and in the room.

It looks like they moved here after they drowned.

"An illegal psyker who can drown people out of thin air", and finally the investigation of the case, intentionally or unintentionally, turned in this direction.

"You're trying to kill Kamalse, right? So...... I have a question for you.

"β€”are you seeing me for the first time?"

"I ......"

Without waiting for Morgan to answer, Bad Day's prosthetic eye searched for the answer from the micro-expression on Morgan's face.

So he immediately interrupted Morgan.

He continued: "When was the first time you were sent back?" ”

Looking at Morgan's shocked face, Bad Day smiled silently: "Yes, I heard it all." Don't think of any lies to prevaricate me. ”

"When did you start listening?"

Although he was still scared, Morgan mustered up the courage to ask, "Mr. Tovatus is there to start?" ”

"Maybe sooner."

Bad Day replied.

The correct answer is that he has been following the barber all along.

While Kamalse shouldn't have access to memories of the past week, that doesn't mean the barber himself won't be in trouble.

When the "godfather" killed people before, he almost couldn't hold back his murderous aura and jumped out directly.

He doesn't have any patience for this idiot.

Bad daylight is upset when you see them existing, and it's even more murderous to see these fools doing stupid.

When the godfather killed one of them, he really saved the others in a sense.

Although from the point of view of bad days, such people have no saving value. But he has a good habit of not interfering with his friends' choices.

Since the barber felt that they had value in saving, he didn't bother to care.

A bad day doesn't look like those stupid people, who don't understand anything and have to point fingers at their friends.

But he knows more about the scum of Downtown than the barber.

Except for the leader, he is still a normal person...... Others are simply unreasonable, and they do things without logic and interests.

Any action is based on mood alone, or "emotion".

What if someone suddenly goes crazy and is going to give their godfather a shot and prepare to make a name for themselves?

If only it were usual.

With Russell's strength, it must not be so easy to die...... At most, the transformation form of the "barber" is defeated.

But today is different.

In tonight's assassination operation, "Ultramarine" cannot participate in it. Therefore, the identity of "barber" must not have an accident.

So ever since the barber entered the lower town, Bad Day has quietly followed. It wasn't until the barber returned to Uptown that he dared to leave the other party's side.

After that, he immediately went to her temporary residence and waited for her through the teleportation ability of the deer head, one step ahead of Morgan.

Although Morgan didn't say anything, her attitude actually said everything.

"You've never seen me, have you?"

Bad Sun exhaled slowly: "It seems that the situation is already obvious. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Should I have seen you? ”

"Of course."

Bad Day smiled sarcastically: "Even if there is no stubble like you...... My ex-boyfriend and I are also planning to assassinate Director Kamalser at midnight tonight.

"But the first time you came back at half past three in the morning, and every time since then you've come back at midnight.

But you didn't see us every time. Do you know what that means? ”

Bad Day looked at Morgan with undisguised disgust in his eyes: "This means that your presence has forced us to abandon this task.

"Because Kamalse, who I just assassinated once, how can he still wander the streets? How could it be encountered by you?

"And if he's managed to get me or the barber in the past, it's me or he's going to cycle back and forth now. By the time you do, one of us will be gone. ”

He was a lot taller than Morgan, so he could now easily look down on the black-haired, horse-eared girl.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But the first time, I didn't see you until half past three in the morning. ”

Morgan fought back his fear and tried to defend himself, "That time should have nothing to do with me......"

"So, that's already a changed future."

Bad Day interrupted, "No one knows what happened at that time.

"The barber thinks that he was killed after a failed assassination attempt, and your presence saved him...... But I have the opposite opinion.

"I'd think it's your presence that has made our assassination plan fail."

He stared at Morgan and asked word by word, "Do you know why?"

"Because he's Ultramarine – he's a hero. His presence is crucial and in the limelight.

"He doesn't know his weight. Kamalse didn't dare to kill him directly...... If he were to kill Ultramarine, he would definitely use a spell to send him over.

"β€”but does he have memories of the future?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He's Ultramarine?! ”

Morgan blurted out: "No wonder ......"

Her face was full of shock, mixed with sudden realization and remorse: "I shouldn't have involved that kid ......"

"You've got him involved. Even if it weren't for you, he would have planned to assassinate Kamalse. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ He is a hero pushed by the head office, how could he assassinate an elf director? ”

"And that's the biggest difference between him and you."

Speaking of this, Bad Day had an undisguised, almost ostentatious smile on his face: "Why did he assassinate an elven director?"

"It has nothing to do with himself.

"There was no threat to his own life, and Kamalse's presence did not jeopardize his interests in the slightest.

"He forwent his position as a 'hero' for the sake of 'others' - and instead went to assassinate an elven director.

"What revenge, what helps others, what ends cause and effect...... To put it simply, 'he's willing'.

"Because he wanted to, he did it. The assassination of an elven director didn't seem to him to be a particularly justified matter...... It's not a big deal. To him, elves are not much different from humans, and directors are no different from commoners. ”

Speaking of which, Bad Day seems to have thought of something.

His gaze softened a little, and he sighed softly.

"Have you ever heard of elephants?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I've heard about it in spiritual parenting. It is a rare animal. ”

"Endangered animals, to be exact. Only a small number of zoos on Taoyuan Island are still farmed, and a few are frozen as genetic backups in ampoule biomedical.

"It was a very huge animal. It can be up to four meters tall and weigh nearly five tons - it is a real ancient monster. Injected with the Potion of Frenzy, it can be used as flesh and blood against experienced prosthetic warriors, trampling infantry to death and crashing buildings with just running.

"But this animal can be domesticated."

"When I was very young, the elephant would be chained and kept in a cage.

"In this cage, they can barely stand. Can't run, can't lie down...... If you try to break free of the chain or fall to rest, you will be immediately shocked. If someone pulls on the chain and does not comply, they will also be immediately shocked.

"Even if this kind of chain is electrified, it will never trap an adult elephant, and even the effect of electric shock will be much lower. When the elephant is pulled out when it grows up, the chain will naturally not be charged again. This will also seem 'too cruel' to tourists.

"But because they are already habitual at a very young age, they can be easily trapped by just thin, unelectric chains when they grow up. Because they won't struggle anymore.

"β€”you're like that."

Bad Day stared at Morgan and replied word by word, "Miss Water Ghost." You would have been able to break free from the chains, but you didn't.

"That's why you're in this situation. Make it more troublesome for everyone.

"Russell is different. These chains could not hold him back.

"Even for me, it was painful to break free from these chains. But he's different...... He was born to change all that.

"This is the fate of heroes."

But Morgan just pursed his lips.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Is it really good to tell me these secrets? ”

"Of course."

"Because I'm dying?"

"On the contrary, because you're about to be born."

Bad Day replied word by word.

Morgan looked at Bad Sun and suddenly understood everything: "It's like ...... Is the Blue Song Robin like that? ”

"That's right."

"Then I do."

Morgan replied without hesitation, "If you need to, take my body away."

"That's kind of a ...... Another kind of reunion. ”

"I don't know if that's how his psionic powers work. I'm just going to give you a shot first...... After all, your spiritual power is indeed very valuable. ”

Bad Day said calmly.

"Indeed," Morgan smiled helplessly, "my psionic abilities are much more valuable than mine. If I'm going to disappear into the gap of time, but my psionic powers can help Ultramarine...... Of course I would agree.

"He was willing to help me without asking for anything in return. I can't repay ......."

After scolding Morgan for a bad day, he slowly smiled when he heard the words.

Slowly, "Let's work together, Morgan." Put an end to all of this...... I'll tell you more secrets.

"Also, I hope you don't blame Ultramarine. He didn't know about it.

"After all, behind every hero, there must be a cold-blooded and ruthless 'agent'. to keep the 'heroes' from shedding blood and tears.

"He's a good guy indeed. But you can't live long just by doing good deedsβ€”

"Rather than forcing the hero to mature, it's better to have someone else do it for them."

"You are indeed a wicked man."

Morgan whispered, "But it's not too annoying." ”

Bad Day nodded with a smile and changed his name without a trace.

"Thanks for the compliment, Ms. Morgan."
