San Francisco, California.

Overall, it is indeed a beautiful city, but there is no perfect city in this world, and no matter how bright a city is, there will always be the darkest corner.

On the southeast side of San Francisco there is a prominent peninsula known locally as Cape Hunter.

It is the largest slum in San Francisco and the area with the highest concentration of African Americans and Latinos.

In a dilapidated and gloomy alley, a man hidden in a black robe suddenly walked in.

As soon as the black-robed man walked in, he suddenly trembled, and saw that in the short twenty-meter-long alley, there were more than a dozen Nigo half-lying on the ground, leaning against the dirty wall, and countless needles were placed on the ground.

This group of addicts had ecstatic expressions, and kept shaking their heads, completely unaware of the arrival of the black-robed man.

The black-robed man was shocked by this scene, but quickly calmed down, after all, "he" had come from a place a thousand times darker and more terrifying.

"What kind of miserable person would put his soul on drugs in the hope of escaping reality?"

"He" shook his head pityingly as he looked at the addicts all over the floor.

"Maybe I can help them get out of their pain...... No, I can't mess around with abilities here, or they'll find ...... here"

The black-robed man hurriedly walked through the alley, but before he could walk through the alley, "he" suddenly stopped.

"I have to help these people!" As if he had made up his mind, the black-robed man turned to face the group of addicts.

More than a dozen invisible energy tentacles stretched out from the void and stabbed straight into the heads of those addicts.

The tails of these tentacles are connected together, and the roots are connected to the hands of the black-robed man.

"Someone said that there is no such thing as empathy between people, and he was right, but not entirely true."

The black-robed man said silently in his heart, "I can transfer all their painful and sad emotions to myself...... Wait, this can't be! ”

Suddenly, the black-robed man cried out in shock, and "he" looked at the people in front of him in disbelief.

"Why? Why don't they have the slightest bit of pain? They are in a happy mood to give themselves a needle! They are not trying to escape from pain, but simply seeking pleasure! ”

What started as compassion quickly turned into disappointment and disgust.

Even in that sin city, where the air smelled of kerosene, the black-robed man had never seen such a self-willed depravity, even though "he" had not been there for long.

"It is unforgivable that the most sacred soul of mankind should be defiled like this......"

A nameless fire rose from the black-robed man's heart, and he saw "he" stretch out his hand, and more than a dozen tentacles were instantly withdrawn.

Each tentacle pulls out an orange-red formless sphere from a person, the embodiment of human joy and excitement.

"I'm going to strip you of all the pleasure you get through drugs, so that you can no longer feel pleasure from drugs, as a punishment for defiling your soul!"

The black-robed man said coldly, under normal circumstances, "he" would absorb the negative emotions of everyone he saw in pain, and let himself bear the pain, sorrow, and hatred for others.

This behavior is absolutely stupid in the eyes of most people, but in the eyes of the black-robed man, this is how "he" helps others, and it is also a proof that "he" is determined to rebel against that unspeakable being.

"He" does not need to be recognized by anyone.

But this time, instead of sucking the orange-red orb into his body, "he" directly let the orb disappear with the wind.

The black-robed man will only bear the pain for others, and will not feel joy for others, let alone this disgusting illusory happiness.

“！”

At this moment, the black-robed man suddenly felt a palpitation.

"Oh no, they've come here, I have to get out of here."

The black-robed man immediately turned around and ran towards the deeper and darker alley, as if he wanted to hide himself completely......

As for the dozen or so addicts in the alley, the original ecstasy expression on their faces suddenly stopped.

"What the hell! How did the effect fade so quickly this time? ”

One addict complained.

"Fuck, it must be a drug dealer who mixed it with water, and they are deceiving consumers!"

The other addict exclaimed with great certainty that he didn't know if it could be mixed with water, or what it would look like if it did.

Others also chimed in, "Next time we change the seller, we can't be cheated again!" ”

"I'll talk about finding a new seller later, I'm not happy enough, it doesn't matter if the effect is weak, just take one more injection!"

One of them, apparently more addicted than the others, went so far as to pick up the empty syringe on the ground, remove the old one, and replace it with a new one.

I refilled a new bottle of medicine, closed my eyes and prepared to enjoy the pleasure of ascending to immortals......

"Huh?"

This person suddenly realized that something was wrong, why didn't he feel it at all......

"How so?"

The more he couldn't feel that wonderful feeling, the more uncomfortable he felt like a cat scratching in his heart.

He didn't know that at this time, the green tendons all over his body were revealed, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled.

So, he took out another bottle of new medicine, this time he bought a total of three vials, which was originally a three-week supply, and now he is ready to fill them all at once.

"Hey! You don't want to die? ”

The other addicts began to feel that something was wrong and began to dissuade the person.

However, he turned a deaf ear and plunged a needle into his arm.

"Fack! Why, why not feel? Why! ”

Two stitches in a row, he would have been in the sky for a long time since he was normally high, but he didn't feel anything now.

"Uh!!" Suddenly, the unknown addict suddenly foamed at the mouth and lost his eyes......

Meanwhile, San Francisco Bay, a small island a few kilometers off the coast.

A T-shaped building tens of meters high stands above the island.

This building is the base of operations of the Teen Titans, the Titan Tower.

The island itself has no name, so it can also be called Titan Island.

Off the coast of Titan Island, a speedboat is speeding closer.

The shape of this speedboat is very strange, it is more like a car than a speedboat.

When it was about to land, the tail of this "speedboat" suddenly sank, and the bow was slightly raised.

"Boom!"

Hearing a loud bang, the "speedboat" flew up directly from the sea, bringing up a wave.

The "speedboat" landed directly on the shore of Titan Island, and then underwent an astonishing change.

I saw that the bottom of it suddenly protruded from the wheels, and the hull that tended to be streamlined also changed back to a square body.

It's Yuri's old broken car!
