The thug criminals who robbed and smashed the pharmacy were taken away by the police.

The dead clerk lay silently in broken test tubes, glass, and a variety of psychic potions.

Another clerk stepped forward with tears in his eyes and gently closed his dead eyes.

Xia Ming was a little silent.

The police took the criminals away, but the people who were hurt by the criminals, the people who were killed, the psionic potions that were destroyed, didn't seem to care at all.

"Yes...... Can you get in touch with his family? ”

"I didn't ...... No, his father was an alcoholic, and his mother was a gambler and didn't care if he lived or died. He finally worked hard to get admitted to university, he was just trying to live, relying on part-time work to earn tuition, he also told me yesterday that after graduation, he wanted to travel to City Seven, wanted to see the sea, and wanted to live a new life, and his eyes were shining when he told me this......"

But now, a young man who has not been defeated by the hard life and has worked hard bravely has closed his eyes forever.

"Why...... Why is this happening......"

The clerk with tears in his eyes muttered in a low voice, as if he was crying bitterly about the fragility of life, and as if he was crying for his own tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, he stood up and wiped away his tears.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now, I'm ...... now I didn't have the heart to take pictures. Pls what is your hero number, I will ask my family and friends to comment on your homepage when I go back......"

Xia Ming didn't know what to say at all.

He walked out of the store, looked at Theresia and Kagura China, and couldn't help but ask:

"Is this Central City, the federal capital?"

Theresia sighed softly.

Kagura China's expression was also a little melancholy, and she didn't mean to argue with him at the moment.

"Okay, dead pervert, don't put on a stinky face, I'll make a phone call and ask Dad to send someone to secretly protect these victims, and by the way, let people kill that nasty thug, okay?"

"Hey, Daddy......"

Kagura China stepped aside and started making a phone call, ready to activate her father's money powers.

Xia Ming looked at the half-collapsed signboard above the drugstore, and looked at the bright billboards, neon lights, and big screens on the surrounding buildings.

He wasn't really upset, but he was a little blocked in his heart.

Turning his head, seeing Theresia's worried expression, he smiled slightly: "It's okay, let's continue patrolling." ”

He just felt that the light from the neon signs and the big screen above his head suddenly became a little dazzling.

Ding-dong.

Suddenly, the watch rang.

The screen shows that his hero rating has increased again, and there is a progress bar on it, showing how many ratings are left to be promoted to B rank.

He just thought it was a little funny.

…………

"Section Chief! Just let those guys take away the thugs we caught so hard? ”

"It's obviously our four-lesson attack, why should we hand over the second lesson to them in the end?"

"I investigated on the Internet before I came, and some people said that the corruption of the Special Administration Bureau in Central City is particularly serious, and the criminals who are arrested and imprisoned, no matter what you commit, as long as the money is enough, the fastest can be released in three days! I didn't believe it before! ”

"Section leader, those guys in the third lesson are secretly slandering you again, do you want to secretly teach them a lesson?"

"Section leader, Uesugi of the first class secretly tried to dig me up today, but I rejected it, and I died laughing, they thought I was fancy that money?"

"Section Leader, there is still no progress in the investigation of that strange thing, the people of the Tinder Organization are very deep, and there are too many criminals and crimes here, it is difficult for us to find clues from so many cases......"

"Section Leader......"

Natsu was rubbing her temples, feeling as if she was in an invisible whirlpool.

Compared to the admiration of everyone in City No. 2, there seemed to be invisible silk threads and cobwebs everywhere under his feet, which made him feel constrained.

Just wanting to do what is right and help those in need, is it so difficult to realize such a simple ideal?

After a day's work, he unconsciously walked to the bottom of an apartment.

The apartment where the old lady he had saved before.

At the door of the apartment, he happened to meet the old lady who had returned from grocery shopping, and the old lady warmly invited him into the house and brought him tea and homemade rice cakes.

For some reason, in this simple and simple small room, looking at the sunset outside the window, listening to the chatter of the elderly in his ear, he felt a kind of relief that he had not felt for a long time.

There are some things, some emotions, that he can't say in front of his subordinates who trust him, and he can't say it in front of his younger brother who hasn't been able to take charge of himself.

Occasionally chatting with this old man who had never known him, even if she didn't understand what he was saying too well, just looking at her kind smile and nodding at him slightly, Xia Zheng felt an inexplicable ease and relaxation.

Since then, he has often come here and sat quietly for an afternoon.

…………

Two days later.

Xia Ming calculated the cooldown time of the dream world while getting dressed under the service of 0086, finished breakfast, and met up with Theresia downstairs.

Meow and meow softly at the door every night, and reluctantly bid him farewell.

In the past two days, her expression has been a little sad, and her spirit is not as lively as before, as if she has encountered something unhappy.

Maybe the new cat food isn't up to taste? Xia Ming was going to bring her a bag of new flavors of cat food and canned cat food when she came back in the evening.

Downstairs, China Kagura, who was chattering, still appeared next to Theresia.

Although the little girl always scolded him for being perverted to death, the man with his head was guarding against him as if he was guarding him strictly.

But Xia Ming still likes this little girl who loves and hates clearly, and likes her behavior of helping him to guard against Theresia.

Because of the tasks arranged by the academy, each exchange student follows his partner to patrol the assigned areas and experience what it is like to be a hero.

Ying Caiqing and Ming Feiyan have not been able to spare time to annoy him except for text message harassment these days.

This was Trathea's best offensive opportunity, and it was also something that Xia Ming was cautiously worried about, he was afraid that Teresia would not be able to help but push him back.

Fortunately, Kagura China's light bulb appeared in time, always interrupting Theresia's offensive behavior repeatedly, and he can also pretend to be a compassionate hero who wants to save more innocent people, and focus on the so-called fight against illegal and criminal activities.

What's the best way to keep a person from being in a relationship?

That is to find something for her to do, so that she is so busy that she can't spare time and space to think about these things like love.

In the past two days, he and Theresia have stopped many psionic crimes, and the progress bar of the hero rating has clicked up very quickly.

He received a lot of gratitude, thanks.

Even if he said that he didn't need it, many people spontaneously left messages and likes at the bottom of the homepage of the hero account registered for him by the academy.

It's supposed to be a cycle of positive feedback that motivates people to be more positive.

But Xia Ming remembered the arrogant thug two days ago, and remembered the ambiguous answers of the police to his questions, and he couldn't get any happiness from this so-called positive feedback.

The watch rings, indicating that a psionic crime has been committed in the vicinity.

Xia Ming hurried to the scene, which was a dark alley, where homeless people and addicts were dumped in a stinking castle surrounded by garbage and swill.

A small, lean man was grabbing the head of a homeless man and slamming it against a wall.

Bloody.

The terrible screams woke up the dazed homeless people and addicts, and frightened them into fleeing one after another.

Xia Ming looked at the thug in front of him.

He had become thinner, his body had shrunk a lot from his previous burrow, and he looked like two people at all.

But the arrogant eyes, the disgusting psionic energy did not change.

"Is that you?"

The man threw away the toy in his hand, turned around, and looked at Xia Ming.

"How did you get out of prison?"

"Run? Haha, what are you kidding, Lao Tzu was released above board! ”

"Hurting people, killing people, and only being locked up for two days?"

"Or what do you think! Without Lao Tzu and these people doing sabotage here, do you so-called heroes have any value in existing! ”

The thug laughed and simply stretched out his hands.

"Lao Tzu knows that Lao Tzu is not your opponent, he can't beat you, come on, Lao Tzu admits defeat, call the police, let the police handcuff me, arrest me, and put me in prison, anyway, three days later, Lao Tzu came out of prison and was a good man who killed people and set fires!"

"Why, boy, your expression seems to be upset? Are you clenched into a fist? You want to kill me? ”

"Come on, do it! But once you kill me, you have violated the relevant laws, and heroes cannot kill, even if they are criminals, even if they are villains like me! If you kill me, you're going to be in jail, and with a filthy depravity like me, the fame you've worked so hard to earn, and the hero rating you've worked so hard to get up to now will go to zero, do you want to try? ”

"Do you dare to try?!"

Obviously the evil party, obviously committed an unforgivable crime, obviously weaker, more ugly.

But facing Xia Ming at this moment, it seems that he is the embodiment of justice, and he is the eternal truth!

Shout.

A lightsaber slammed across the thug's neck, and a drop of nervous sweat dripped from the man's forehead, but he still put on an arrogant look around his neck.

"Come on, let's do it for Lao Tzu now, and stick your bullshit lightsaber into Uncle Ben's neck! See that surveillance camera over there? As long as you dare to kill Uncle Ben, the next second there will be a police swarm to arrest you! ”

"Lao Tzu has a bad life, do you dare to gamble with your reputation, your future and Lao Tzu's life!"

Xia Ming glanced back at Kagura China.

Didn't you ask your dad to secretly send someone to kill this guy?

"This is your dad's money ability?"

Kagura China suddenly looked ashamed, her little face turned red, she made a fool of herself in front of the two people who didn't want to be ugly the most!

"I'll call my dad right away!"

"Forget it, let's go."

The lightsaber across the thug's neck disappeared, and Xia Ming said lightly, waving his hand, beckoning the two to leave.

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

Seeing the backs of the three disappear, the thug breathed a sigh of relief, and the frantically beating heart in his chest barely calmed down

"Heh, what a bullshit hero, it's not that I'm scared of Lao Tzu's words!"

"Phew!"

He spat and spat on the ground, looking disdainful.

But the fear in his heart is only known to him.

He was really afraid that the kid couldn't stand the agitation and ended him with a sword.

But compared to these, he was actually more afraid that the kid would really call the police and let people arrest him.

In two days, in order to get out of prison, he changed from a burly two-meter strong man to the thin and capable appearance he is now, and he didn't want to go through that kind of torture again.

Fortunately, fortunately, the kid was bluffed by himself, thinking that the government was incompetent, thinking that it was useless to call the police, and left disheartened.

His spiritual energy is light, so he was originally a teenager who longed for justice and light, right?

Now, that layer of light was covered with a layer of blood and dust by itself.

Will that kid's temperament change drastically because of this, from a so-called hero to a psionic criminal like me?

The thug chuckled, and there was some anticipation in his heart.

Night.

His wish was soon fulfilled.

When he returned to the hut with a woman in his hand, he was about to slit the other's neck with a knife and slowly drink the other's blood.

A vague black shadow wearing a mask appeared in the dim light and shadow, looking eerie, silent, and terrifying.

"Who!"

"Who the are you! There's nothing of value here! ”

The thug threw the woman as a weapon at the blurred black shadow that suddenly appeared, and at the moment when the other party dodged, the spiritual energy on his body skyrocketed, and he quickly rushed in front of the black shadow, and the spiritual energy condensed into the shape of a sharp cone on his fist, and hit hard with one punch!

There was a muffled sound in the air, and the black shadow wearing a demon mask and a black cloak stood in place like a grim reaper, his fist stopped at a distance of thirty centimeters from the other party, and he could not move an inch.

He couldn't even break the other party's defense!

"Ahh

He roared vigorously, took out three dark red psionic potions from his pocket, stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them along with the glass and chewed them.

Blood vessels burst out on his thin and lean body, hideous and knotted, and his strength and spiritual energy were further greatly improved, breaking through to the third order!

"You give me death!"

He threw his fist again, yelling as if he was desperate.

The body quickly turned around at the moment of this movement, his fist dangled in the air, and he turned around and ran!

But the black shadow followed him like a shadow, and he couldn't escape.

A black-gloved palm stretched out of the black cloak and pressed it on top of his head.

The thug was shaken and froze in place.

"You...... Who are you? ”

He looked at the black-cloaked man in front of him, at the mask of the demon, he felt death, he felt fear.

It was as if he had seen a real demon, a demon who had come from hell to ask for his life.

Burst.

A dark, colorless light pierced his head, and it was the light of destruction, which corresponded to justice, and pure white.

Until he died, the other party did not answer his question, because evil spirits only kill people and do not talk nonsense.

If that kid degenerates into a criminal like me, his light may be ...... This color, right?

As his consciousness dissipated, such thoughts flashed through his mind inexplicably.

And then.

Poof.

Headless corpses fell.

【Evil Energy Absorption】

Xia Ming took a deep breath and felt the growth of spiritual energy in his body.

He suddenly felt that it was more enjoyable to be a reckless criminal than a hero who was bound by the so-called laws and regulations.

And such garbage.

He kicked the body of the thug into a nearby stinking gutter.

It should be his fuel, burning his life, offering himself to himself.
