Chapter 160 Collapse (4K large chapter)
Ling Yuan glanced at Butcher indifferently. He was very interested in this man. Although he hated superheroes so much, he had a good attitude towards him. At least he didn't want to kill him.
However, thinking back to the grievances between Butcher and his countrymen, Ling Yuan felt that Butcher's attitude was normal. At least he had no grudges against Butcher, and he maintained a very good attitude from beginning to end. Butcher, who came from the FBI, would not be careless about etiquette even if he wanted to have a bad attitude.
Moreover, Ling Yuan communicated with him peacefully and kindly, which showed that Ling Yuan gave him enough respect and was willing to communicate with him as an ordinary person on an equal footing even though he had great power. Unlike the people in his motherland, who regarded the lives of ordinary people as worthless and only maintained kindness under the lens and camera.
Butcher was also thinking about Ling Yuan. Ling Yuan gave him a different feeling. He was so friendly and kind-hearted that no one in the team of seven could match him.
"I would like to ask Mr. Ling Yuan, what do you think about the relationship between people with super powers and ordinary people?" Butcher couldn't help but ask.
"Me? I think ordinary people also have their own light. Courage, kindness, and a heart that refuses to be ordinary are all the light of ordinary people. People with super powers should protect this precious light, of course, as long as they are not offended.
"I don't deny the dark side of human nature, but Mr. Butcher, are there no bad people among those with super powers? Protecting those who should be protected, not condoning evil and darkness, and doing things with a clear conscience is what we should do.
"Of course the world is not a good place, but there are also people who tell me not to give up. They guide me and prove to me that the world is not that bad. I love them and I love everything they love, so I fight for the beauty of the world!"
Ling Yuan smiled. This was what Kiana said during the final battle with the Ruler of Rule. It was very appropriate to put it here. Fighting for the beauty of the world, this was the path Ling Yuan had always insisted on. It was what Kiana, Alicia, and Infinite Tower Himeko taught Ling Yuan. It was the only meaning of his life.
When Butcher listened to Ling Yuan's words, his mind suddenly became clear. His heart, which had been blinded by revenge for a long time, finally received cleansing from the soul at this moment.
Fighting for the beauty of the world is easy to say and sounds perfunctory, but this road is long and arduous. After experiencing all the betrayals, frustrations, pains and sorrows, it is extremely difficult to still believe in beauty and give everything for it.
Looking at Butcher's gradually clearing eyes, Ling Yuan smiled with satisfaction. Butcher felt redeemed in his heart after hearing these words. For Ling Yuan, it was a great result.
"Where are we going next?" Ling Yuan asked with a smile, "Given your personality, I'm afraid you'll take me directly to the Seven's lair. It's too early to start a formal war with them now..."
Butcher came back to his senses, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. The good atmosphere and the transcendence of the soul were ruined by just one sentence. Butcher couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could such a good person have a big mouth.
If Ling Yuan knew what Butcher was thinking, he would probably complain, saying that if the original plot was changed, you would be more redundant than me.
"We need to find a place next. The whereabouts of superheroes are unpredictable during the day, so we need to go to the bar they frequent at night. Not to mention others, you will definitely meet the locomotive!"
Butcher turned the steering wheel and took Ling Yuan directly to where they were going next. Ling Yuan sat in the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside the window and curled his lips. At least he couldn't go back early to accompany Kara today.
Butcher's car shuttled through the city. As night fell, street lights began to light up, adding a bit of mystery to this busy city. The atmosphere in the car was a little subtle. Ling Yuan's words seemed to have stirred ripples in Butcher's heart, giving him a new understanding of this superhero.
"You know, Mr. Ling Yuan, I used to think there was an unbridgeable gap between superheroes and ordinary people." Butcher's voice broke the silence in the car, "But after listening to you, I suddenly feel that maybe it would be a good idea to cooperate with you."
Ling Yuan smiled slightly. He knew that something was changing in Butcher's heart. It was a positive change that might change his future path.
"In fact, you are too obsessed with revenge, and you have not seen many things that you should have seen. If it is just a crime of this level, the world does not need superheroes. Although there will be a lot of regrets, you can still live a life by mending the holes, right?"
Butcher took Ling Yuan around the streets of New York for a day. Night finally came and the car finally stopped in front of a bar. This was a place for superheroes to relax, but Ling Yuan and Butcher both knew that this relaxation was not serious.
Butcher and Ling Yuan walked into the bar together. The atmosphere inside was hot. Men and women put aside their hypocritical appearance during the day and immersed themselves in the crazy and chaotic atmosphere.
They found a corner seat and sat down, ordering two drinks. At this time, the locomotive probably hadn't arrived yet. Ling Yuan's eyes scanned the bar. He knew that everyone here had an unknown story. But Ling Yuan was not interested in them. His only target tonight was the blue-skinned black man.
Ling Yuan leaned on the bar. He had contributed greatly to Butcher's change. At least he had started to address him with respect. Butcher was willing to expand his revenge plan from erasing the Seven to changing this sick world that worshipped superheroes without thinking. At least he could use Butcher for his own benefit in the future.
Butcher's predecessor Ling Yuan knew very well that he came from the FBI. Although he had a strong sense of justice, at least Butcher was more or less concerned about his country. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to convince Butcher. In the original drama of "The Boys", not to mention how smart and powerful Butcher was, his connections were really great.
"coming!"
Butcher gently poked Ling Yuan with his elbow, his eyes fixed on the door of the bar. Ling Yuan looked up and saw a black man in a blue tights and his friends walking in. Ling Yuan's pupils shrank slightly. Unlike Maeve whom he saw in the morning, he seemed to see a wisp of black air above the locomotive, like a black thread reaching straight into the sky.
Ling Yuan frowned tightly. He could feel that the silk threads on the locomotive seemed to be controlling his fate, but the silk threads were full of the breath of death.
Ling Yuan was slightly startled. He had never seen this situation in Homelander and Maeve. If the death line represented taking Compound No. 5, Maeve and Homelander would definitely have it. At least among the known people, Maeve died in the plot, so it was impossible for her to not have it.
"System, give me an explanation, what is this thing?"
Ling Yuan's face looked grim. The aura on the black gas thread was exactly the same as the aura he had inexplicably felt in the morning, which meant that the black gas thread and the people who were investigating him were the same group of people.
"Ding! Unable to detect!"
Listening to the system's reply, Ling Yuan inexplicably wanted to kick the system out and give it a beating. This system was no longer useful. Not only was it in a shabby state every day, but it also kept delaying the issuance of rewards. Now it couldn't even detect anything.
However, if it cannot be investigated, then it cannot be investigated. Compared with studying the origin of the black line, the most important thing at the moment is to get rid of the locomotive first. If Ling Yuan waits for the locomotive and the invisible man to die according to the plot, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait, not to mention that the system only gives him one year.
"When are we going to do it?"
The moment he saw the locomotive, Butcher's suppressed impulse for revenge reappeared, and he wished he could send the locomotive down right now.
Ling Yuan glanced at Butcher, who seemed to be unable to hold back, and the corner of his mouth twitched fiercely. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Is this the convergence of the world line? I had suppressed Butcher's impulse with my words, but when he saw the locomotive, all my efforts were in vain...
"Why are you in such a hurry? Now is not the right time. When they are in the box and have had enough drinks, we will go in and give him a surprise."
Butcher's mouth twitched. He thought he was dark enough, but he didn't expect Ling Yuan's thoughts were darker than his. However, as long as Ling Yuan could kill the locomotive in the end, it wouldn't matter if Butcher waited a little longer.
"By the way, if you have this power, why don't you flirt with more women?" Butcher looked at Ling Yuan with a wicked smile, lit a cigarette, and handed it to Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan glanced at Butcher, and the corners of his mouth twitched again. He didn't think that his Valkyrie, as well as the debts of love in various worlds, were enough for him to find a few women to have affairs with, unless he didn't want it anymore.
"I won't stay in this world for too long, unless you want them to miss me for a long time after I leave, or you want to say, 'I will take care of your wife'?" Ling Yuan's tone was slightly mocking, and he spoke in a joking tone.
After being choked by Ling Yuan, Butcher was not angry. He bumped Ling Yuan with his arm and said with a smirk, "It's okay to have fun even if we don't get married!"
"Forget it! I have mysophobia!" Ling Yuan waved his hands and sighed helplessly.
Although Butcher had a teasing look on his face, his impression of Ling Yuan improved a little. In his eyes, there was really nothing wrong with the character of this Oriental man.
The two of them sat in front of the bar and waited for an hour. They estimated that the train was basically getting better, and if they waited any longer, it would be the drug addict moment.
"Should we start now?"
Butcher was eager to try, and quickly touched Ling Yuan's arm again. Ling Yuan looked at Butcher with light in his eyes and nodded helplessly.
"Let's go... go meet this 'superhero'."
Ling Yuan stood up first and put his glass on the counter, with four or five hundred-dollar bills under it. Butcher took a look at the bills under Ling Yuan's glass and understood what Ling Yuan meant in an instant. He reached out his hand and put his arm around the bartender's neck behind the bar, whispered in his ear:
"This money is a tip for you. You just need to do it for a while. No matter what noise the private room on the locomotive makes, don't let anyone in!"
The bartender glanced at Butcher in black, then turned his head to look at Ling Yuan who was walking slowly towards the private room of the locomotive, and hesitated in his heart. He was also a person who admired superheroes, but the tip was indeed not small, and the tip was enough for him to use for a while.
"it is good!"
The bartender hesitated for a moment, nodded firmly, and finally succumbed to the money. Another point was that he didn't believe that these ordinary-looking Oriental people would treat their superheroes in any way.
Butcher smiled, patted the bartender's shoulder gently, turned around and quickly followed Ling Yuan to the private room at the front of the train.
At this moment, the locomotive in the private room was bragging to his good friend about his act of hitting and killing that ordinary person. He treated the matter as a joke and did not take it seriously at all, as if he had hit and killed a bug.
"... It was a crazy thing, because when I ran through her body, I accidentally swallowed one of her molars because I was running so fast, like killing a bug on the highway."
"Oh, God!"
"Dude, you're disgusting."
"Hahahaha!"
When Ling Yuan kicked open the door of the private room, the train finally came to its senses, and two pairs of eyes looked in the direction of Ling Yuan.
Seeing two strangers suddenly breaking in, the locomotive did not get angry immediately. Instead, he stood up in a friendly manner and said, "Hey, guys, if you want to find the restroom, you have come to the wrong place. But since we have met, I can give you two autographs for free!"
The locomotive looked at Ling Yuan and Butcher with his signature fake smile on his face, which made Ling Yuan frown and feel physically uncomfortable. Unfortunately, he guessed wrong. The two people in front of him were not the kind of people who would give a superhero face. Both of them wanted to kill him, a superhero star.
"Sorry, your dad doesn't need it!"
Butcher looked at the locomotive in front of him, a surge of enthusiasm in his heart. In his mind, he had already imagined relying on the big tree of Lingyuan to completely eradicate the superhero.
Ling Yuan glanced at Butcher inconspicuously. The ruffian Butcher appeared and his efforts were completely ineffective. However, even if Butcher was like this, it was not a big problem for Ling Yuan who just wanted to get in touch with the connections behind him.
However, Ling Yuan didn't want to answer the train's question at all. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the orange-yellow light shield instantly covered the entire private room. Butcher was stunned, and stretched out his hand to pat the light shield. It felt like he was patting on the glass, and even he was a little confused.
"I don't mind actually. After I kill you, I'll ask you to give me an autograph."
As he spoke, Ling Yuan spread out his hands, and the aura around him rose rapidly. The Honkai energy on his body was revealed, and dark purple Honkai energy lines could be clearly seen on the exposed skin. His whole aura was terrifying to the extreme.
In order to prevent Butcher from escaping from his control and to shock him, Ling Yuan directly used his Herrscher of the End form. Although he could directly use artificial collapse to shock Butcher, it would definitely attract the attention of people outside, so he gave up this idea.
"Who are you? I am one of the super seven of the Water Group. If you attack me, you will also be targeted by the Water Group." It was not until this time that the locomotive realized something was wrong and quickly spoke up.
Ling Yuan ignored the frightened locomotive and shifted his gaze to its equally frightened companion locomotive. A deep purple light emerged in his eyes, and his eyes were full of disdain, as if he was looking at an ant.
"The collapse is coming."
A clear and ethereal voice sounded, and a wisp of Honkai energy was injected into the companion's body. The companion's eyes immediately became full of pain, and lines of Honkai energy instantly spread all over his body. His skin took on a sickly pale color. As the Honkai energy continued to spread in his body, his whole body trembled, and he instantly turned into dust on the ground.
Butcher watched Ling Yuan kill a superhero casually, his eyes twitching violently. Killing a person with just a glance was something Butcher couldn't even imagine.
