[Marvel/DC/Other] Magical Boy Li Hua

Li Hua, an adolescent human with a kind heart who met an untimely demise, much like most protagonists in system-transmigration novels, was unexpectedly recruited by the Space-Time Administration af...

Chapter 251 Chapter 251 The Stubborn Ones Point at Each Other

Li Hua was happy to get a day off so he could go out and have fun.

However, although it was a holiday, Li Hua did not find anything interesting while strolling around Bellwood, except for having the leisure time to go out for a stroll.

The infrastructure of the Earth America in the BEN universe and the DC universe is similar. Apart from the local customs and habits, the biggest difference between Bellwood and Gotham is the climate.

Gotham is located on the coast, with a humid climate and snow in the winter. Bellwood, while also near the sea, is warm year-round and doesn't snow in the winter.

This difference in climate will produce corresponding regional culture, but the facilities in game halls and amusement parks are all similar. Even the most exciting roller coaster here loses interest after just one look for Li Hua, who is performing stunts in the sky with a flying stick without a safety belt.

Li Hua stopped in front of the snow mud shop, looked at the hair growing in his reflection in the mirror, and reached out to touch it.

[A few months ago, I was a rookie who found everything interesting and couldn't even fly steadily with a flying stick.]

[Four months.] Number 666 said, [The cram school was worth it.]

"Almost exactly one semester." Seeing no one familiar around, Li Hua couldn't help but whisper proudly, "Doesn't that mean I've become super awesome this semester? Oh, no wonder I felt bored. Is this the loneliness of the strong?"

No. 666: [No, this is the newbie upgrade—the arrogance of a "newbie half-baked" and the withdrawal reaction after your previous excitement threshold was raised too much.]

Li Hua: [So a newbie can evolve into a novice-half? What's above the novice-half? A novice-half?]

No. 666: [...If you say so, it can be so.]

"In the past four months, I've visited places I hadn't been to in over a decade in my previous life, places I probably wouldn't be able to visit even after my death." Li Hua said, "When I signed the contract with you to become a magic boy, it was so great to meet you, No. 666."

No. 666: That’s a labor contract... Never mind. If you say it’s a contract, then it’s a contract. It means the same thing anyway.

"Since you haven't denied it, I'll take it as your consent." Li Hua continued walking, casually chatting with No. 666. "My longest-time, closest partner, where do you think I should spend my time next? I feel incredibly strong right now; nothing can stop me!"

No. 666: [Then don’t think so for now.]

Li Hua suddenly had an idea when he passed by an American-style Chinese restaurant with a "fortune cookie" pattern on it.

He has been eating all kinds of fast food takeout for four months, and he is tired of American Chinese food. It is time to cook for himself and have some real hometown flavors.

Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so if I try to cook, not only can I learn a new skill, but I can also save money on a meal.

A wonderful vacation is indeed the best therapy.

When Li Hua returned home with the food he had gathered, the room was buzzing with activity, as if a debate was underway. He was immediately met with stares from everyone in the room. Jason, Kevin, Benjamin, and Albedo all exclaimed in unison, either in anger or frustration.

"You've arrived just in time, Li Hua, come over and give us your opinion!"

.......

The incident started when Albedo went downstairs to fill the kettle at noon. As soon as he arrived in the living room, he felt a strange gaze.

Those looks were so strange that Albedo stopped drinking water and asked Kevin, who was sitting in the pile of moths: "What are you doing?"

There was no greeting in Albedo's words. In return, Kevin replied without hesitation: "I'm thinking about how to raise alien humanoid frogs."

Albedo felt that the number of mentally ill kids in this room seemed to have increased again. He looked at Kevin with a look of concern for someone with intellectual disabilities and asked in a tone without any concern: "Are you mentally retarded?"

Benjamin's house full of moths, products of biotechnology, can be deconstructed as an overflow of maternal or paternal love. After all, those Nakfuji babies are biologically his children, but what about Kevin?

Whether in his original form or his current form, he has nothing to do with Kevin Levine. Moreover, he has the same face as Benjamin. Apart from this guy's parents and elders, who would be so foolish as to raise this ugly kid?

Seeing Albedo unhappy made Kevin feel a little better - of course he still didn't show it on his face, and continued to deliberately provoke Albedo: "I don't want to do this, but I owe Li Hua a favor and have to cover for him for a day, so quickly tell us your breeding guidelines."

"He's mentally ill, are you mentally ill too?"

Albedo thought of Li Hua treating him with a method that was said to be the same as the force-feeding method his father used on him... He felt that with that weird kid's train of thought, it was really possible for him to say something that was contrary to his age.

Kevin thought Albedo was simply cursing, but Jason and Benjamin, who were more familiar with Albedo and Li Hua, fell silent after hearing Albedo's comments.

Fortunately, Li Hua was not at home, otherwise he would have been hurt again after hearing what Albedo said.

Albedo was serious, he really thought Li Hua was mentally ill.

No wonder he is so tolerant of Li Hua.

After Poison Ivy, even Albedo gave such a high evaluation of Li Hua's mental state during his epileptic seizure...

Scarecrow is worthy of being a psychology professor. With just two moves, he opened the door to a new world for Li Hua, which really harmed him a lot.

Albedo glanced around the room but didn't see Li Hua: "So he finally took my advice and went to see a psychiatrist, right?"

Kevin then realized that Albedo seemed to really think that Li Hua was mentally ill, but before he could verify it, he heard Albedo say to Jason: "It's not good to hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Why don't you go see a doctor too?"

Kevin: ?

Jason:?

Benjamin:?

So Albedo thinks everyone in this room except him and Benjamin is mentally ill?

So Albedo can get along well with everyone in this room except Benjamin, is it because he thinks they are all mentally ill?

Benjamin pointed at himself and said, "You don't think I'm mentally ill, do you?"

Albedo said disdainfully: "If stupidity is considered a mental illness."

Jason: "Although I've been in and out of mental hospitals many times, I'm sane. Thank you."

"That's what all psychopaths with mental problems say," Albedo said. "Considering the abundance of psychopaths in your hometown and what you've witnessed and experienced firsthand, it's strange you don't have any mental problems."

Benjamin asked Jason, "Have you told him about the time you were killed by a psychopath? Has your relationship progressed so quickly while I'm away?"

Jason's speed in poaching people is really unparalleled. Just seven days after Albedo came, he has already reached this stage of heart-to-heart communication.

Albedo: "...What?"

Kevin: “…”

"He knows now, and Kevin knows too." Jason wiped his face helplessly. "You told me you wanted me to control Hell in this world. It's a joke, don't create random people, but you, the sieve, ended up saying more than I did."

Benjamin: "...I didn't expect you to be so patient. I thought you had told Kevin a long time ago, or he had asked."

Kevin: "Do I look like someone so stupid as to ask a dead person what the cause of death was? I know the cause of Li Hua's death because he revealed it himself. If you don't believe me, ask Albedo."

Albedo: "To be honest, I just realized that half of this room is dead."

Kevin: ...

Albedo: "Your mouth and IQ are on par with Benjamin's. No wonder you two can get along so well."

Benjamin: ...

"I admit that Albedo is right this time, but considering that the identities of young superheroes in your universe are kept strictly secret, I'm not too surprised."

Jason, who has completely broken free from the restrictions of Hell Jokes, now has nothing to lack. He no longer wants to act and says to Albedo with a desperate look.

"You felt it was illogical that Li Hua and I got mad at you earlier in the warehouse, and you felt wronged that I'd accused you of stepping on your own minefield, right? If I were to ask you, you should be thankful you used the spider web to stick to my hand. Otherwise, I would have probably shot you straight away as a reward for letting me dream back to the end of the first act."

Albedo said calmly, "Then I am very grateful for deducting my wages."

Jason said, "You're welcome."

Albedo remembered that when they were in the warehouse before, Jason and Li Hua - no, to be precise, it was Jason. At that time, he was very sure that he wanted to torture them, and he was also sure that there was a bomb in the warehouse. Combined with Jason's previous description of his hometown's mental illness and his current behavior... it was not difficult for him to guess.

It's no wonder that Li Hua chose such a rash method as soul swapping at that time, because the conversation in which both sides had their weaknesses exposed could no longer be continued by ordinary means, and he really had no other choice.

Kevin said to Jason, "I hate to agree with this alien frog, but why don't you go and take a look?"

It has not even been half a year since Jason was resurrected. It is really hard not to have psychological problems in this situation.

Jason looked at it unconcernedly: "Nothing, that's all in the past. Thanks to the Hell Joke for helping me desensitize myself."

"Come on! I'm not suppose to be dead, but you're not the only one here who's had a bad day. I know that feeling as well as you do."

said Kevin, who has spent five years coming to terms with past pain.

"It feels like a cockroach that doesn't exist in the house. During the day, or when someone is around, you would think it's gone, but there will always be a quiet night when you realize you were wrong. It will make some noises, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, and sometimes you can even feel its hairy legs crawling on you, but you can't get rid of it at all, just like you're being paralyzed by a ghost."

"You're a tough guy, man. I'm sure you can get through this, but not this fast."

Jason made a disgusted expression. "I understand what you're saying, but do you have to use such a disgusting metaphor as cockroaches?"

"You need to make it a little more disgusting so that you can realize the seriousness of the problem, instead of trying to whitewash it like you are doing now." Kevin said, "You really can't be more pretentious than me in this regard. I have been whitewashing it for five years!"

"Can you guys please be more self-disciplined and go see a psychiatrist as a group?" Albedo said. "I can't be your babysitter while researching the Ultimatrix, working, and maintaining my daily physiological functions."

Is it true that there are no mentally healthy people in this room except him and that idiot Benjamin?

"You're not much better, Albedo. If you want to see a psychiatrist, let's go together," Jason said. "We met other Gavin people yesterday. You Gavin people don't have that kind of culture where eating junk food is like taking drugs and destroying one's desires. Extreme perfectionism is also a psychological problem."

Albedo put down the cup and said in a very firm tone: "No, I absolutely don't have any mental problems. You are the ones who have problems."

Kevin: "Extreme arrogance is also a psychological problem."

"Again, I'm pretty sure I don't have any mental problems, it's you two who have them."

"It's you two who have the problem, why should I go see it?"

"You two should see a psychiatrist. Your problems are written all over your faces."

"I think what Jason said is very right, what Albedo said also makes sense, and Kevin's suggestions are also worth adopting."

Benjamin pushed back the head of the ice ghost cub that was curiously sticking its head out to eat the melon and decided to say something fair.

"So I think the three of you can go see a therapist as a group."

There is definitely nothing wrong with Li Hua and him, but the life experiences and emotional journeys of these three people are more twisted than each other, and they really don't look like they have no psychological problems.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: The stubborn ones pointed at each other with good intentions: "You should go see a doctor!" "No, you should go!"

Benjamin: Stop arguing. You both should go see a doctor.

No. 666: ...I can understand those kids quarreling, but why did Albedo join in? Why did he join in so harmoniously?

No. 666: Wait, if I think about it carefully, it seems a bit childish for a man who is hundreds of years old to be unilaterally angry with a teenage Earth kid.

No. 666: That makes sense.
