Chapter 177 The Destiny of the Hero
Morgan's body trembled slightly while he was sitting in his seat, but there was unconcealable expectation in his eyes when he raised his head and looked at Bad Sun.
The fire of expectation was extremely weak, like a match being struck in the cold night.
"It looks like you know me, which makes it easy."
The corners of Bad Ri's mouth silently raised, revealing sharp canine teeth.
His cold one-eyed prosthetic eye stared at Morgan, as if he wanted to see through her.
He sat across from Morgan carelessly and crossed his legs.
"What a coincidence, I've heard of you too. Water ghost... right?"
This is not Morgan's code name as a killer, but the name given to the unknown killer by the Enforcement Department when investigating the people she killed.
Because if the body of the person she killed was found early enough, inexplicable water stains would be seen on the body and in the room.
It looks like they moved here after they drowned.
"An illegal psychic who can drown people out of thin air." In the end, the investigation of the case, intentionally or unintentionally, turned in this direction.
"You want to kill Kamalse, right. So... I have a question for you.
"——Is this the first time you see me?"
"I……"
Before Morgan could answer, Bad Sun's prosthetic eye searched for the answer from the micro-expressions on Morgan's face.
So he immediately interrupted Morgan.
He continued to ask: "When was the specific time you were sent back for the first time?"
Looking at Morgan's shocked face, Bad Ri smiled silently: "Yes, I heard it all. Don't think of any lies to excuse me."
"When did you start listening?"
Although he was still scared, Morgan still summoned up the courage to ask: "Do you want to start at Mr. Tovatus's place?"
"Maybe sooner."
Bad Day replied.
The correct answer is that he was following the barber.
Although Camarse should not have any memories of the past week, that doesn't mean the barber himself won't run into some trouble.
When the "Godfather" started killing people before, he almost couldn't restrain his murderous intent and jumped out.
He had no patience for such idiots.
Bad Sunshine will be upset just by seeing their existence, and even more murderous by seeing these fools acting stupidly.
The godfather killed one of them and actually saved the others in a sense.
Although from the perspective of a bad day, this kind of person has no saving value. But he has a good habit of not interfering with his friends' choices.
Since the barber thought they were worth saving, he didn't bother to care.
A bad day will not be like those stupid people who clearly don't understand anything but still point fingers around their friends.
But he knew the scum of downtown better than the barber.
Except for the leader, who is considered a normal person... the others are simply unreasonable, doing things without logic or profit.
Any action is based solely on mood, or "emotion".
What if someone suddenly went crazy and planned to shoot their godfather and make a name for themselves?
If only it were normal.
With Russell's strength, it would definitely not be that easy to die...at most, the transformation form of "Barber" would be destroyed.
But today is different.
"Ultramarine" cannot participate in tonight's assassination operation. Therefore, the identity of "barber" must not cause trouble.
So ever since the barber entered downtown, Bad Day has followed quietly. He didn't dare to leave the barber's side until he returned to Uptown again.
After that, he immediately used the teleportation ability of the deer-headed statue to arrive at her temporary residence ahead of Morgan and waited for her.
Although Morgan didn't say anything, her attitude actually said everything.
"You've never met me, have you."
Bad Day breathed out slowly: "It seems that the situation has become obvious."
"...Should I have seen you?"
"certainly."
Bad Day smiled sarcastically: "Even if you weren't in trouble...your 'ex-boyfriend' and I were planning to assassinate the director of Kamalse at midnight tonight.
“But the first time you came back was at 3:30 in the morning, and every time since then you came back at 0:00.
"—but you haven't seen us every time. Do you know what this means?"
Bad Sun looked at Morgan with undisguised disgust: "This means that your existence forced us to abandon this mission.
"Because Kamalse, who was assassinated by me just once, how could he still be wandering on the street? How could he still be encountered by you?
"And if he has successfully sent me or the barber to the past, then it should be me or him repeating the cycle now. By the time you get there, one of us will have disappeared long ago."
He was much taller than Morgan, so he could easily look down at the girl with black hair and horse ears.
"...But for the first time, I didn't see you until 3:30 in the morning."
Morgan suppressed 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 in a failed assassination attempt and that you saved him...but I hold the opposite opinion.
"I would argue that it was your presence that caused our assassination plan to fail."
He stared at Morgan and asked word for word: "Do you know why?
"Because he is Ultramarine - he is a hero. His presence is crucial and everyone is watching.
"He doesn't know his own weight. Kamalse doesn't dare to kill him directly... If he wants to kill Ultramarine, he will definitely use magic to send him there.
"——But does he have memories of the future?"
"...He's Ultramarine?!"
Morgan blurted out: "No wonder..."
Her face was full of shock, mixed with realization and regret: "I shouldn't have gotten that child involved..."
"You have involved him. Even without you, he would have planned to assassinate Kamalse."
"...He is a hero promoted by the head office, how could he assassinate an elf director?"
"And that's the biggest difference between him and you."
Having said this, Bad Ri had an unabashed, almost ostentatious smile on his face: "Why would he assassinate an elf director?
“It has nothing to do with himself.
“His own life was not threatened in any way, and Kamalse’s existence did not endanger his interests in the slightest.
"He gave up his position as a 'hero' for the sake of 'others' - and instead went to assassinate an elf director.
"Revenge, helping others, settling karma... to put it simply, it means 'it pleases him'.
"Because he wanted to, so he did it. In his opinion, assassinating an elf director was not something that needed a reason... nor was it something treasonous. To him, elves are no different from humans. There is no difference between directors and civilians."
Having said this, Bad Ri seemed to have thought of something.
His eyes softened a little and he sighed softly.
“Have you ever heard of an elephant?”
"...I've heard about it in spiritual studies. It's a rare animal."
"To be precise, they are endangered animals. Only a small number are still bred in the zoo on Taoyuan Island, and a few are frozen as genetic backup at Ampoule Biomedical.
"That is a very huge animal. It can reach four meters in height and weighs nearly five tons - it is a real ancient monster. After being injected with the madness potion, it can fight against experienced justice with its flesh and blood. A physical warrior who can trample infantry to death and collapse buildings just by running.
"But this kind of animal can be tamed."
Bad Ri said slowly: "When they were very young, elephants would be chained and locked in an elephant cage.
"In this cage, they can barely stand. They can't run or lie down... If they try to break away from the chains or fall down to rest, they will be shocked immediately. If someone pulls the chains and refuses to comply, they will also be shocked immediately. .
"Even if this kind of chain is electrified, it will never be able to trap an adult elephant, and even the effect of electric shock will be much lower. When the elephant grows up and is pulled out, the chain will naturally no longer be electrified. This is a big problem for tourists. , it also seems to be 'too cruel'.
"But because they have developed habits at a very young age, when they grow up, they can be easily trapped by just thin, non-electrical chains. Because they no longer struggle.
"——You are that kind of elephant."
Bad Sun stared at Morgan and answered word by word: "Miss Water Ghost. You could have broken free of the chains a long time ago, but you didn't.
“That’s why you’re in this situation. It’s making things more troublesome for everyone.
"But Russell is different. These chains can't hold him.
"Even for me, it's extremely painful when I break free of these chains. But he is different... He was born to change everything.
"This is the fate of a hero."
But Morgan just pursed his lips.
"...Is it really okay to tell me these secrets?"
"certainly."
"Because I'm dying?"
"On the contrary, because you are about to be born."
Bad Day answered word for word.
Morgan looked at Bad Sun and suddenly understood everything: "Is it like... Bluebird?"
"That's right."
"Then I do."
Morgan replied without hesitation: “Take my body away if necessary.
"This can be considered...another kind of reunion."
"I don't know whether his psychic powers work exactly like this. I'm just giving you a vaccination first... After all, your psychic powers are indeed very valuable."
Bad Day said calmly.
"Indeed," Morgan smiled helplessly, "My psychic powers are much more valuable than me. If I disappear in the cracks of time, but my psychic powers can help Ultramarine... Of course I will would agree.
"He was willing to help me without asking for anything in return. I had nothing to offer in return..."
After just scolding Morgan for his bad days, he slowly smiled after hearing this.
He said slowly: "Let's work together, Morgan. End this completely... I'll tell you more secrets.
"Also, I hope you don't blame Ultramarine. He doesn't know any of this.
"After all, behind every hero, there must be a cold-blooded 'agent'. To prevent the 'hero' from bleeding and crying.
"He is indeed a good man. But you can't live long if you only do good things——
"Instead of having heroes forced to mature, it would be better for someone else to do it for them."
"You are indeed a wicked person."
Morgan said softly: "But it won't be too annoying."
Bad Ri nodded with a smile and changed the title without any trace.
"Thanks for the compliment, Ms. Morgan."
