Chapter 117 Exchange
"Back off, don't come near me! I'm fine, I don't need any help!" After saying that, the Starlight Knight swung his supernatural power directly at me. I turned sideways, and his attack created a crack on the ground next to my feet.
"Night Demon!" Zhong Mengfan shouted nervously, as if he had not expected the Starlight Knight to launch a direct attack.
I continued, "Please calm down, Mr. Starlight Knight. I mean no harm to you."
"You're lying. You're interfering with me." He pointed at me and said.
"Mr. Starlight Knight, headquarters has repeatedly warned you not to use drastic measures and unleash your supernatural powers on ordinary people and those with defenseless superpowers. Now you've crossed the line."
Starlight Knight asked back, "As an A-rank professional hero, haven't you ever used your supernatural powers to harm or even kill 'ordinary people'?"
"some."
He obviously didn't expect me to admit it so straightforwardly, and was speechless for a moment.
So I continued, "However, this has no direct relevance to what we're doing now. I will only regard your question as a sophistry following your recent murder. Now, please cooperate with me and return to Super Hero Headquarters with me."
The Starlight Knight took a stance ready to attack at any moment. "What if I refuse?"
Headquarters needs a perfect superhero. Facing his resistance, I felt a little troubled. "Well, I have two of us here. In a two-on-one situation, I don't think you have much of a chance of winning."
Zhong Mengfan looked at me, then at Starlight Knight, unable to comprehend how things had suddenly escalated to this point. He continued, "Mr. Starlight Knight, no matter what, killing is wrong. Please come back to headquarters with us."
This battle was inevitable, but with a two-to-one power gap, the outcome of the battle was doomed from the start.
"Hmm..." I held down the Starlight Knight, and while he was struggling, I put the collar that suppressed his supernatural powers around his neck.
He still insisted, "I'm not wrong! What I did is good for the world! Criminals, all those who are harmful to humanity, should not continue to live in this world!"
"Mr. Starlight Knight, I'm not here to criticize your behavior. I'm here to help you."
Finally, I extended my index finger and gently tapped the Starlight Knight's forehead, and he closed his eyes and fell into a coma.
After controlling the Starlight Knight, I turned around to check on Zhong Mengfan's condition. "What do you think?"
Zhong Mengfan's eyes were illuminated by the Starlight Knight's supernatural flash in the previous battle. He first rubbed his eyes, then blinked hard a few times, forcing out some physiological tears.
"Well, my eyesight hasn't fully recovered yet, and my vision is a little blurry, but it's much better than the instant blindness I suffered from the flash refraction just now. I've also learned about the Starlight Knight's abilities, and the blinding effect of the flash refraction is only temporary. Don't worry, Xia Ye."
I frowned slightly. "You're the one who's injured, yet you're telling me not to worry. Anyway, take the Starlight Knight with you to the headquarters to get your eyes checked."
"good."
After answering, Zhong Mengfan sighed slightly. "Alas, I didn't expect that just investigating the criminal who sent the threatening letter would end up like this. Mr. Starlight Knight's behavior just now... made me feel like the filter was broken. Um, I'm not scolding him, it's just that he is very different from what I imagined."
But I said, "Mr. Starlight Knight is a professional hero with a strong sense of justice and a strong sense of responsibility."
It was precisely because of this that he could not compromise with himself, could not tolerate his own mistakes during the mission, and could not forgive himself, as a professional hero, for causing the death of others.
"Um"
I whispered, "He's just, sick."
Zhong Mengfan tilted his head, puzzled. "He looked so energetic even though he was sick. He hit me a few times and my eyes just now, and it still hurts."
He pressed the spot where he was hit and said, "Thanks to the suppression collar you brought with you, Xia Ye. Otherwise, Starlight Knight is so strong that even if we could suppress him temporarily, it would be difficult to completely control him. He is an A-level hero after all."
I nodded and didn't tell Zhong Mengfan that it was not a coincidence that I was wearing the suppression collar. It was originally prepared for the Starlight Knight to use.
Zhong Mengfan asked me again, "What should I do next?"
"Well, Starlight Knight is my patient. His current condition is my responsibility. I plan to give him a second treatment."
Zhong Mengfan was puzzled, "But when we met on the set, he seemed to have completely forgotten you."
I glanced at him indifferently and offered my own concocted explanation, "It's been quite a while since we last met. I didn't look like this before, and I wasn't using the identity of Night Demon. Besides, he's such a famous and busy superhero, it's normal for him to forget someone he only met once."
I looked at the unconscious Starlight Knight and said, "Don't worry, he will be back to normal."
Superhero Headquarters
After examining Zhong Mengfan's eyes, the doctor said that there was nothing serious.
With Zhong Mengfan's healing ability and physical fitness, his vision will be fully restored in a few hours, by evening.
Zhong Mengfan temporarily found a pair of sunglasses to cover his eyes which were still a little red.
Just at this time, I received a message from the Green Forest Elf that the mirror had been repaired.
I held the mirror and looked at it for a moment. The mirror spirit that gave birth to the mirror had been completely erased by me. Now it was just an extraordinary object.
The Green Forest Elf still did not forget to tease me, "I just sent you a message and you came. You must be eager to return to the way things were."
"I just happened to be at the Super Hero Headquarters, taking care of some things." After saying that, I looked at Zhong Mengfan, who was obviously hesitant to speak, and asked, "What's wrong?"
He hesitated at first, then said, "Can we exchange tomorrow?"
The Green Forest Elf asked curiously, "Young man, have you experienced the colorful life of an adult during this period of time, so you are reluctant to change back?"
I was also curious.
"No. It's just that tomorrow is August 1st, and it's my birthday."
I showed my understanding and said, "Then wait until tomorrow, after your birthday, and then we can exchange the mirrors."
"What do you want to do with this extra day? I finally figured it out. I plan to go to the bar next door. Meet those long-legged and big-breasted girls. They will be very enthusiastic when they see you." The green forest elf showed a malicious smile.
Zhong Mengfan shook his head vigorously. "Why are you mentioning that bar again? I just want to have dinner with Xia Ye to celebrate my birthday. It's my treat."
"Okay." I said the same.
Gao Yu has made it clear that he acknowledges that Zhong Mengfan is qualified to be a ranger, which means that the time for Zhong Mengfan and I to separate is getting closer.
This may be the last time I celebrate Zhong Mengfan’s birthday with him.
