Hongmen, an assassination organization active in Southeast Asia, has a history dating back a thousand years.
Before the emergence of the Demon Realm, it was not well-known and could only make money by assassinating some small figures.
After entering the Demon Realm era, Hongmen received funding and began to cultivate his own Demon Realm experts, including some third-level or even fourth-level masters.
As some big figures were assassinated by Hongmen, its name became more and more famous, and Daxia also began to pay attention to this criminal organization.
Dongfang Dekang once asked Xiang Xiaoqin to investigate this organization. One of the findings was that the sponsor behind Hongmen was Country M.
This result is not surprising to Dongfang Dekang, because this is what Country M is best at doing.
Therefore, when Duncan called Ruan Jinhai, the leader of Hongmen, he immediately arranged for an elite team to go to the island designated by Duncan to carry out the assassination mission.
On the boat heading to the island, Basong, the captain of the assassination team, looked at the photo in his hand with cold eyes. In his eyes, this Daxia man named Zhang Ze was already dead...
…
There was a noisy sound in my ears, which seemed to be the crowd cheering.
Zhang Ze gradually woke up and felt that his eyes were covered by something.
"I lost consciousness as soon as I entered the stone gate. Where is this place?" He turned his head and wanted to move, but found that his hands and feet were firmly locked by chains!
"Fuck, what kind of start is this?"
Hearing the metallic sound of the chains colliding, Zhang Ze was startled and thought to himself: "My eyes are blindfolded and my hands and feet are chained. What is going on in the 41st level of the Demon Realm?"
At this time, he heard someone talking loudly.
"Believers! You still remember that ten years ago, evil criminals ravaged our city. They killed, set fire, robbed and raped, and committed all kinds of evil!"
"The law enforcement officers of the police department are powerless against them. We live in dire straits every day!"
"Later, the City of Heroes appeared above the city, and the great heroes descended on us.
They are just and brave, punish evil and promote good, eliminate all those thugs, restore order to society, and let people live and work in peace and contentment. "
"We cannot forget what the heroes have done for our city, and we cannot tolerate anyone slandering and blaspheming the dignity and honor of the heroes!"
"These people in the cage are ungrateful, slandering the heroes, saying that they can do whatever they want with superpowers, and even encourage other citizens who don't know the truth to join them, oppose the heroes, and drive them away from our city!"
"What a sinister intention! Once the hero is driven away, crime will return!"
"These bastards want to plunge our city back into the abyss and tear our lives into pieces!"
"Although heroes are selfless and generous and will not care about these clowns, we cannot let the heroes feel cold."
"Tonight, we will personally execute these bastards and sacrifice their lives to the heroes! To express our gratitude!"
Zhang Ze was shocked when he heard this: "What? Execution? Death at the beginning?"
He wanted to use [Summoning] to summon followers to help him, but a line of prompts appeared in front of him:
"The power is not activated and cannot be used."
"Huh? Not activated?"
Zhang Ze looked surprised: "What is a superpower? Could it be that in this demonic realm, innate skills are called superpowers? And what does it mean if it is not activated? How to activate it?"
At this time, everyone in the team channel was also panicking.
[Irritable Dragon King]: Damn it! Being executed at the beginning? Is there any mistake?
[Little Princess Money]: Where is everyone? My eyes are blindfolded, I can't see anything, and my hands and feet are tied up. Dragon King, help me!
[Little Bird Yiren]: I’m a little confused. What did that person mean when he said it just now? Are we all bad people?
[Escape]: It should be right, so they want to execute us.
[Melancholy of the Sky]: I think something is wrong. We didn’t commit any serious crime. We were just arrested and executed because we just opposed those superheroes.
[Knife without emotion]: I seriously doubt that these people are believers in superheroes. They arrested us without going through the police and then lynched us!
[Rakshasa]: It should be like this. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, we should stand in court and be judged instead of being locked in a cage.
[Liu Yueying]: What should we do now? I can't move my body and can't use my skills. Are we waiting to die?
[Giant God]: Don’t panic, everyone. I think that no matter how special this level of demon realm is, it is impossible to kill the adventurers at the beginning. So what is the meaning of the existence of the demon realm behind it?
[Knowing Autumn in One Night]: The giant boss is right, everyone, please be patient and wait and see.
Everyone fell silent and listened to the sounds from the outside world.
Then the person from before continued to say: "Believers, what do you think we should do with these bastards?"
The crowd was noisy and angry.
"Burn them!"
"Yes, use fire to purify their dirty souls!"
"Burn them to ashes and record the video for everyone to see. This is the fate of those who oppose superheroes!"
"The heroes of Hero City can definitely see their burning fire. They will be proud of us. Let's light the fire!"
…
"They're going to burn us!"
Zhang Ze moved his body to see if there was any way to save himself.
But he found that the cage was very small. He just turned around and bumped into the iron cage next to it.
Wow!
Suddenly, someone poured liquid on his body. The smell was familiar to him. It was gasoline!
In the team channel.
[Moonlight Bunny]: Ah! gasoline!
[Yao Guang]: They want to burn us to death with gasoline! I don't want to die!
[Knowing Autumn Overnight]: Damn it, if I can use skills, I don’t have to be afraid of fire.
[Use the knife but not emotion]: I just tried to explain to the people next to me that we are not against superheroes, but these people have gone crazy and don't listen at all.
[Irritable Dragon King]: These bastards are determined to kill us. If I have an iron rod in my hand, I will beat these bastards away!
[The Melancholy of the Sky]: Wait a minute, I really want to hear something...
Zhang Ze also vaguely heard something, like the siren of a police car!
People around also heard the sirens, and then someone shouted through the loudspeaker: "Everyone, listen, you are surrounded by the police! Put down your weapons immediately and release the hostages!"
The crowd was a little panicked, and they knew what they were doing was illegal.
The leader was still shouting: "Don't worry about those useless law enforcers. They can't deal with criminals, but they allow others to oppose crime-fighting superheroes. This is putting the cart before the horse!"
"Now, light a fire immediately and burn these people..."
Boom!
Before he could finish his words, he was shot to death!
Once the organizer died and the group was leaderless, the crowd suddenly became a mess and began to scream and run away.
Zhang Ze listened carefully, and the surrounding area gradually became quiet, and it seemed that everyone had disappeared.
"Strange, why did the police let these people run away? Shouldn't they be arresting them?" He felt very strange.
Hooray!
Suddenly, someone opened the iron door, and then the blindfold was pulled off.
The dazzling lights made Zhang Ze couldn't help but squint his eyes. He found that the person who opened the cage was a young man with yellow hair in his early twenties, with a typical European face, who was asking with concern: "Are you okay? Can you walk?"
Zhang Ze nodded, and the young man used the ax in his hand to cut off the chains on Zhang Ze's feet and said, "If you can, leave as quickly as possible. Those guys will be back soon."
Walking out of the cage, Zhang Ze found that it was an open space surrounded by a large dense forest.
He looked up and saw an old European-style castle suspended high in the sky.
It's hard to imagine how such a huge castle could float in the sky without falling.
On the other side, Ju Shen, Liu Yueying and others were also rescued one by one. Everyone discovered that the ones who rescued them were not police law enforcement officers, but five men and women in plainclothes.
In other words, they are all ordinary people.
"Thom! I told you, don't shoot!"
A middle-aged man with a beard said angrily to a man with a tattoo on his arm: "We are here to save people, not to kill!"
"Hey, Carl, if I hadn't shot that bastard just now, these unlucky guys would have turned into roast suckling pigs!"
Thom snorted disdainfully, seemingly dissatisfied with Karl's accusation.
"That's enough!" Another black man said with a stern face: "Let's go quickly. Those fanatical superhero fans will definitely come back to find us when they find out that all this is fake, and the sound of gunfire will also attract people from the police station. .”
"Rice is right, let's leave quickly." The young woman named Karen nodded, and said nervously: "The people at the police station said, if a superhero is attracted, we will be in big trouble! "
Karl looked at Zhang Ze and others and said, "Our car is on the road outside the forest. If you want to survive, just follow us."
After that, regardless of whether Zhang Ze and others agreed or not, they turned around and left.
Zhang Ze, Giant God and others looked at each other and immediately followed.
One night Zhiqiu caught up with the black man named Rice and asked him about the situation.
"Hello, Rice, who are you? Why did you come to rescue us? Who were those people just now?" Yiye Zhiqiu asked many questions in one breath.
Rice curled his lips and said impatiently: "I can only say that, like you, we hate those superheroes to the core, and we wish all these sons of bitches would die!"
Yiye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Rice hated superheroes so much and seemed to have sworn hatred.
Karen said: "Superheroes are all hypocrites. They have powerful superpowers but do nasty and despicable things..."
She gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, you just need to know that we are not your enemies."
Their words were heard by Zhang Ze, Ju Shen and others.
Liu Yueying walked beside Zhang Ze and asked in a low voice: "So, the people who just wanted to burn us to death are all superhero fans?"
"That should be true." Zhang Ze pondered: "But I don't understand, why should we oppose superheroes?"
In his impression, superheroes are the embodiment of justice and are deeply loved by people.
But why are we cursed and hated by people in this world?
"Could it be that these five people are all bad guys?" Zhang Feng guessed: "Superheroes stopped their evil plan, so they hate superheroes so much?"
"That's not right, right?" Moonlight Bunny shook his head and said, "If they are really bad guys, why do they come to save us? Doesn't this fit with the bad guy's character?"
Yaoguang analyzed: "Maybe they did this on purpose to trick us into joining the gang?"
"We know too little information now, let's take a look at the situation first." Shandao Bubu waved his hand to let everyone stop the discussion to avoid being overheard by those five people.
Walking out of the forest, there was an old yellow school bus parked on the roadside. Karl opened the door and got into the driver's seat. Others got in one after another, and the car drove to the end of the road.
In the school bus, Zhang Ze saw Jack sitting opposite looking at the scenery outside the window in a daze. He thought for a while, stretched out his hand, and asked: "Your name is Jack? My name is Rakshasa. Thank you for saving us."
Jack shook hands with Zhang Ze and said, "You're welcome. Anyone who opposes superheroes is our friend."
"There are some things I don't quite understand." Zhang Ze considered his words. He hoped to get some information about the world from Jack's mouth, but he didn't want to make the other party suspicious.
"You tell me." Jack has an approachable personality and is much easier to get along with than the grumpy Rice before.
"Why do you oppose superheroes?" Zhang Ze asked: "Logically speaking, ordinary people like them because they are the embodiment of justice..."
"The embodiment of justice? Haha!" Jack sneered again and again, and said angrily: "These bastards are hypocrites! They don't take ordinary people's lives seriously at all!"
He took out his mobile phone and pulled out a photo for Zhang Ze to see: "This girl's name is Jenny. She is my fiancée. We will have a wedding in a month, but something happened to the plane she was on. Hundreds of people died!"
Zhang Ze frowned and said, "I'm sorry..."
He doesn't understand what the death of Jack's fiancée has to do with superheroes?
Seemingly knowing what Zhang Ze was thinking, Jack played another video.
The scene in the video was probably recorded in the cabin of an airplane. The scene was shaking violently. A woman's crying face appeared in it. She cried and said: "The Omnipotent King wants to kill a congressman who opposes superheroes. Unfortunately, this congressman is on our plane, and we are all buried with him! Jack, I love you..."
The video stops here, and you don’t need to guess what happens next.
Jack gritted his teeth and said: "The search and rescue personnel found Jenny's mobile phone from the site of the plane crash. Fortunately, the memory card of the mobile phone was not damaged, so I was allowed to see this video."
"Omni-King and other superheroes are selfish and cruel bastards... Yes, they did fight criminals, but they also committed more crimes!"
He pointed at Carl and said: "Carl's family also died at the hands of superheroes, just because Bear Girl lost the bet with Steel Armor. She became furious and turned into a giant bear. She went crazy and rushed into Carl's house. The family killed his wife and two children!”
"And Rice, he was originally a police officer, but because he found evidence of collusion between the Invisible Man and drug dealers, he was beaten up in the stomach by the Invisible Man and almost died in the hospital."
Turning his head, Jack pointed at Thom again and said: "Thom...well, he is a gangster, but he loves his younger brother who is in college. As a result, Lightning rushed to Thom with reporters in order to get the limelight on the TV show. In Tom's home, he mistook Thom's younger brother for him and brutally killed him. Afterwards, Lightning knew that he had killed the wrong person, so he didn't even say an apology, and the police ignored him."
"As for Karen, she..."
Karen turned pale, shook her head and said, "Jack, that's enough, stop talking!"
No one spoke in the car. Zhang Ze, Ju Shen and others were shocked and angry. They really didn't expect that the superheroes in this world would be so careless about human life!
Where is the superhero here? Totally super badass!
Jack glanced at Zhang Ze and said, "So, we decided to join forces to deal with those superheroes and make them pay the price! Do you want to join us?"
