Chapter 111 Hero's Enemy
More importantly, according to the Pro Hero files at headquarters, my ability might easily hypnotize a non-powerful person. However, for those with special abilities, especially Pro Heroes who know of my abilities and are wary of me, it requires specific conditions and the aid of the Deep Blue potion to be most effective.
It is for this reason that the senior management at the headquarters have great confidence in me.
After all, I can't rely solely on my psychic abilities to penetrate their thoughts and secrets. When doing anything with psychics, I must follow management's instructions to obtain the Deep Blue Potion. I'm a very safe and reliable tool.
Zhong Mengfan was still a little hesitant, "So..."
I continued, following his words, "So, it was your ability that came into play—your sense of justice. That was the key to destroying the castle."
Gao Yu also said at this time, "Congratulations, Link. You have truly mastered the Ranger's ability, the Heart of Justice, and you are using it well."
Zhong Mengfan glanced at me subconsciously. "This is so sudden! I thought... I'm not there yet, still a long way off. I still have many shortcomings to reach the S-rank strength of a legendary hero ranger. I also need my mentor, Night Demon, to continue to guide me."
Gao Yu nodded. "Of course. You are a very special person with special abilities. Everyone at headquarters is filled with anticipation and hope for you, the future superhero ranger. Your wishes and ideas are our top priority."
Zhong Mengfan thanked him again, "Well, thank you, Principal Gao Yu. I'm truly flattered by your words. I don't consider myself a particularly special, exceptional psychic. If it weren't for that accident, where I was saved by the Ranger and became the sole survivor, I wouldn't be here."
"If I must say, I'm just much luckier than others. A lot..." Zhong Mengfan pressed a hand on his heart. "My life and my special abilities were all given to me by the Ranger. So, I don't want to disappoint Mr. Ranger's trust in me in the end."
At this point, Zhong Mengfan turned to look at me again and said, "Also, Night Demon. Because of him, I feel like I'm slowly becoming the righteous heroes I admired in the superhero movies I watched as a child. It feels great!"
After Zhong Mengfan finished speaking, he gave me a very bright smile.
"Oh, I'm so relieved to see you two getting along so well. It proves that I made the right decision when I agreed to Minister Zhang's arrangement and let Night Demon be your guide."
I nodded and said, "Link is also a disciple I recognize. I hope he can become the best hero."
"That's right." Gao Yu gently pressed the button on the desk, and a secret cabinet on one of the walls opened. Inside was a combat uniform with the unique logo of a heroic ranger.
Gao Yu first rubbed the Ranger's emblem on the combat uniform with his fingers as if reminiscing about it, then he took the combat uniform out and said to Zhong Mengfan, "I hope you can accept this combat uniform."
"This is... too fast." Zhong Mengfan didn't immediately take the combat uniform from Gao Yu. "Although I always knew this day would come..."
Gao Yu waved his hand. "Don't feel too burdened. This combat uniform was designed specifically for the previous Youjia's abilities. However, he passed away before he could wear it. Your abilities are very different from his, so this combat uniform isn't meant for you to wear. It's just a souvenir. Wearing it doesn't mean you're inheriting Youjia's legacy."
Zhong Mengfan touched his nose and said, "I should just feel honored, but now I'm reluctant to give up my heroic identity as Link."
Gao Yu continued, "Ah, that's perfectly normal. Although this is a truly great honor, every Ranger's successor will always have this attachment to their original heroic identity."
"Is that so?" When Zhong Mengfan asked this question, he also looked at me, as if he wanted to hear my answer.
So I started by saying, "To let go of your original identity and become another hero that everyone admires, everyone needs time to prepare."
Zhong Mengfan took the combat uniform from Gao Yu and said, "I want to be a hero that can match this combat uniform."
Gao Yu smiled. "Yes, Link." He pointed to the empty secret compartment. "Next time, this will be where your special Hero Ranger uniform will be placed."
He then asked, "How much do you know about the previous generation of rangers, Link?"
"After I passed the Pro Hero Exam, I gradually learned more about espers and began looking up information about rangers."
Zhong Mengfan recalled, "Mr. Ranger is a very powerful superhero. He has done many remarkable things and saved many lives. However, perhaps because the Ranger inheritance needs to be kept secret, I don't know what happened earlier, before Mr. Ranger became a Ranger. He must have been a great hero, too."
Principal Gao Yu nodded. "Ranger's original hero name was Investigator."
Hearing the Investigator's heroic name, Zhong Mengfan immediately replied, "Ah! I know. The A-rank Hero Investigator, known as the nemesis of all criminals!"
"Yes, the A-level heroic investigator is good at investigation, tracking and hiding, and has very sensitive perception. These abilities were further strengthened after he became a ranger and mastered the heart of justice. Since the investigator succeeded the ranger, the crime rate in the entire society has dropped by 5%." Gao Yu proudly spoke about the past deeds of the heroic investigator.
"Even if the criminals manage to escape after committing the crime, as long as they leave any clues at the scene, the Rangers will find them, track down their other identities under the mask, and then capture them." Gao Yu sighed slightly, his face heavy with sorrow. "He really is a very good superhero."
I spoke at the right moment, "I've also been on a mission with the Inspector. His sacrifice was a great loss to the Super Hero Headquarters."
When Gao Yu talked about the deeds of the previous ranger as an investigator, I had a vague feeling that he was going to tell Zhong Mengfan some more important secrets.
Zhong Mengfan's voice also became deeper. "Mr. Ranger, even in the final moments of the battle, when his own life was in danger, tried his best to protect everyone. If it weren't for Mr. Ranger, more people might have died in that attack."
Gao Yu's expression grew serious. "That wasn't just an ordinary attack. It was a carefully planned trap set against the Ranger, intended to put him to death. In the end, that man succeeded."
Zhong Mengfan showed a shocked expression and swallowed subconsciously "...Who is he?"
"He's the mortal enemy of superheroes, a member of the Chameleons, the world's largest criminal organization of superpowers."
"Mr. Ranger, was he killed by a Chameleon Organization member? I've also learned a little bit about Chameleon. After all, it's always been known as the most powerful anti-hero organization. There are also S-class psychics among its members. But apart from a few peripheral members who have been hunted down, the true core members and cadres of the Chameleon Organization are almost completely unknown to the public."
Zhong Mengfan asked again, "Principal Gao Yu, have you found out who the mutant who killed Youxia is?"
Gao Yu asserted with certainty, "The only one who could have caused the Ranger to be so embarrassed and defeated was probably the leader of the Chameleons—Colorless."
