Chapter 9: Ranger's Abilities

The effect of the special sedative seemed to gradually wear off after I brought Zhong Mengfan back home.

He became talkative, "Doctor, being a superhero must be dangerous!"

Because I introduced myself as a doctor at the beginning, even now that I've brought Zhong Mengfan home and we're going to be partners, he still calls me doctor, and I haven't corrected him. Because in Zhong Mengfan's heart, what he needs right now is a doctor who can soothe his heart, not a powerful professional hero partner.

Unfortunately, this perception will soon be overturned.

I replied in a voice devoid of emotion, "Yes, it's dangerous. But it's also every young person's dream."

"So, the death rate of superheroes is also high, Doctor!"

I tilted my head, thinking his focus was somewhat different from others. "I thought you were more or less aware of this. For example, the legendary hero ranger."

Speaking of Ranger, Zhong Mengfan's face turned pale. "...I fainted when Mr. Ranger passed his ability to me. When I woke up, Mr. Ranger was no longer there. Mr. Ranger was clearly so badly injured, but he still looked calm, which made me feel that he would not die so easily. This is too unrealistic."

"Ranger is dead, that's a fact. Only a small number of people are qualified to attend his funeral. It's a pity that he and I didn't have that kind of close relationship."

Zhong Mengfan looked puzzled. "As for other superheroes, I mean those I've seen on the news, heroes who sacrificed their lives to save others. Everyone knows their deeds and pays tribute to them."

"Because the legendary hero Ranger is special, he needs to be passed down forever. The Ranger is 'immortal'. Paying tribute to the dead heroes is just a formality. In fact, in the past, some fanatical superhero fans would go to the cemetery to steal the relics of the dead heroes. The remains of the heroes were moved to the headquarters a long time ago and placed in a special place. They are not in the cemetery. There is only an empty tombstone there."

Zhong Mengfan showed an incredible expression. "Taking away the relics is too much. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing..."

I nodded. "So, it's never been made public. Even though you've inherited the Ranger's abilities, you can't tell anyone about it, and you can't go to the funeral. If you feel it's necessary, after the funeral, I can take you to see where his body is kept."

Zhong Mengfan shook his head. "No need. Knowing is one thing, seeing is another. I can't face the dead ranger right now. It will remind me of the horror that happened that day. So many people died. Oh, by the way, I saw the news, and this incident was not reported in detail. Why?"

"A legendary hero died, and many innocent lives were lost. The authorities will deliberately reduce media exposure of this kind of vicious incident caused by people with special abilities for reasons of terrorism and other reasons."

"I see. This is the first time I've heard of this."

"Because you were once one of those ordinary people who needed to be protected. Besides, when ordinary people hear about this kind of thing, their first reaction is to feel horrified. Besides panicking, there's really nothing they can do."

Zhong Mengfan nodded.

"But from now on, you will be exposed to a completely different world as a person with special abilities. Can you tell me in detail about your special abilities?" As a partner, I would like to understand Zhong Mengfan's abilities first.

He looked at me with a blank face and asked, "What are you introducing?"

I exerted my utmost patience. I usually only do this to patients who have been severely injured and are unresponsive, or those who are on their last legs. "How long have you had this ability? How do you usually use it?"

"About, less than three months... It will be very cool if you use your supernatural powers at the same time with the air conditioner on in the summer." Perhaps he felt that what he said was not appropriate, Zhong Mengfan scratched his cheek embarrassedly.

“…Is that all?”

"Yes, that's all."

I asked again, "What kind of abilities did you get from the Ranger?"

"I have no idea……"

"After he passed on his abilities to you, did your body undergo any changes?"

Zhong Mengfan nodded, "Yes."

"What is it"

Zhong Mengfan touched his head and said, "My hair isn't naturally curly like this!"

…

I asked hesitantly, "Is this the only one?"

“Is there anything else?”

As a result, Zhong Mengfan asked back.

I couldn't help but raise my voice. "Of course it's strength! As far as I know, the Ranger's most famous ability is called the Heart of Justice. In layman's terms, it's a supernatural power that can unleash immense potential from the body as long as one has a strong sense of justice."

Zhong Mengfan blinked and said, "That sounds amazing, but what is that?"

"You, having acquired superpowers, should be more aware of this than I am. Take the Ranger who gave you superpowers, for example. Before he became a Ranger, he was an A-rank hero skilled at searching, locking onto targets, and conducting stealthy pursuits. After inheriting the power of the Heart of Justice, his vision, hearing, smell, and perception abilities were greatly enhanced. The Ranger should have other abilities, but the details are confidential to the Superhero Headquarters, so I don't know."

I stood up and walked to a safe distance of ten steps away from Zhong Mengfan to prevent him from losing control and affecting me when using his new power because he was unfamiliar with it.

"That is, your original ability should have been enhanced because of the ranger, and now you are using your own ability in front of me."

Because of my actions, Zhong Mengfan also seemed to be nervous. Perhaps he felt that he had powerful abilities because of his relationship with the Ranger. He raised his hands and said to me, "Then doctor, I'm going to start."
