Chapter 138 I Caught You
His lover died.
The search and rescue team is doing their best to search for the A-class hero, Night Demon. Meanwhile, a specialist who handles such incidents is on the scene, comforting him, the sole survivor.
But the search and rescue team members seemed accustomed to dealing with these kinds of disasters following alien creature attacks. Amidst the conversations that avoided him, Zhong Mengfan still heard things like, "Attacked by alien creatures, this pro hero seemed to have completely vanished." "Erasing all traces was something that only happened when engaging in combat with high-level alien creatures."
: If the body was eaten by a monster, you will find leftover flesh and remains at the scene.
: The scene was very clean. It seemed that this professional hero had used some kind of ability and perished together with the alien creature.
Zhong Mengfan made a breakthrough, his five senses became sharper, and he could easily hear conversations far away around him.
Unfortunately, this breakthrough was achieved under the huge stimulation of Night Devil's death.
His beliefs
——collapsed.
All the sounds and everything around him made Zhong Mengfan feel painful.
He cannot be like the protagonist of the story, the powerful superhero that everyone knows, who can face the death of his loved ones and cheer up again.
It's like I've lost all my goals and motivation, and even living has become a very difficult thing.
In order to prevent Zhong Mengfan from having a complete mental breakdown, Principal Gao Yu of the headquarters provided spiritual counseling for Zhong Mengfan, helping him to remember the agreement he had made with Wen Xiaye.
Inherit the Ranger and become the best hero.
He was forcibly awakened by Gao Yu's psychic powers, regaining consciousness. This feeling was excruciating, as he couldn't emotionally get over the loss of his lover. However, his body, thanks to his special abilities and his status as a psychic, remained sane. Because the world needed a superhero ranger, he needed to fulfill his responsibilities as a professional hero.
Zhong Mengfan suddenly understood the meaning of Wen Xiaye's words: "Once you become a professional hero, you will always be a hero."
——He hates being a superhero.
Zhong Mengfan is no longer full of longing and expectation for his career as a professional hero.
It's just, a job.
Boring work.
Because it is a lifetime position.
Can't refuse, can't give up, and can't escape...
Reaching S-level strength seemed to be a matter of a moment, but this not only did not make him happy, but his mood became even worse. He never knew that he would have so many negative emotions.
Why……
Can't I work hard to become S-rank earlier?
He inherited the ability of a ranger, and he must become an S-class hero. This is what Wen Xiaye told him at the beginning.
At that time, he hesitated and was afraid.
He is a man who is easily timid.
He hates himself.
After becoming an S-class psychic, he became a well-known hero, the Ranger.
Zhong Mengfan likes to fight with alien creatures or powerful criminals with superpowers, and carrying out such tasks has become a way for him to vent.
People with special abilities, and even those they can control, are extremely valuable social resources. Headquarters management had previously issued a verbal warning to Zhong Mengfan regarding his actions of killing criminals with special abilities. Of course, this was to no avail; Zhong Mengfan ignored the warnings and continued to do as he pleased.
Even after receiving a warning, he privately sentenced a psychic who abused his supernatural powers to kill people, as if he was deliberately going against the management of the headquarters.
After the murder, the management who had verbally warned him did not really take any measures to deal with the "disobedient" Zhong Mengfan because he was an S-class hero ranger.
At this time, Zhong Mengfan would think of the A-level hero Starlight Knight, and he seemed to understand him a little.
However, Starlight Knight no longer looks like a professional hero. The headquarters has taken back Starlight Knight's communicator. He is still affiliated with the Hero Agency, but the four words "Starlight Knight" seem to have completely become his stage name in the entertainment industry.
Zhong Mengfan's intuition told him that there was an inexplicable weird feeling here.
But now Zhong Mengfan no longer has any curiosity about these things that have nothing to do with him.
Now, there are two things that can touch Zhong Mengfan:
First, after breaking through to S-rank, he discovered that his ability had acquired a new quality. It was no longer just about controlling airflow; he could now sense subtle changes in the elements within the air. Every time he unleashed his power at full strength, he could sense a brief, distorted sense of time and space.
This discovery gave Zhong Mengfan a hypothesis: if his special ability could be strong enough to break through a certain critical point.
Perhaps, he could break time and space, go back to the past, change his history, and create a new future.
The second thing was that while capturing the supernatural criminal, Zhong Mengfan came into contact with many members of the Chameleon Organization. When he was about to kill one of them, the other party offered him a chance to live in exchange for a piece of information.
He thus received a piece of unverifiable news: the disaster caused by the alien creatures was a deliberate attack by the Chameleon Organization against the Rangers. The dead Night Demons were merely casualties of the battle.
Zhong Mengfan often recalls every detail of what happened that day in a painful and extremely self-deprecating way.
Although there was no definite evidence, the alien creature that suddenly appeared without any warning, and the belated rescue that came afterwards, every time Zhong Mengfan recalled everything that happened that day, he would become more and more convinced that the news was true.
Chameleon, there's a reason for that.
It was he who indirectly killed the Night Demon.
The superhero headquarters represented by the Ranger and the anti-hero organization Chameleon have been in a state of endless fighting.
The Chameleon Organization and their leader Wu Se are both Zhong Mengfan's mortal enemies.
Since when, his influence has surpassed that of the previous generation of rangers. Even if people don't deliberately participate, they will still spontaneously vote for him in every superhero popularity poll.
However, without Wen Xia Ye, all of this seems to have lost its meaning.
There are only two things left in his life: find a way to use his supernatural powers to go back in time, destroy the Chameleon Organization, and kill their leader, Colorless.
Now, Zhong Mengfan stood on the empty rooftop of a tall building. This area had been devastated by the sudden appearance of powerful alien creatures. Fearing a repeat of this disaster, the surrounding residents had moved away. The once bustling neighborhood had gradually become deserted. After the affected large shopping malls closed one after another, the area gradually became deserted.
Zhong Mengfan took advantage of his status and bought the entire area. After many years, it became an abandoned neighborhood with no one living there.
He did this deliberately, his purpose was to completely release his special abilities like today, use the place where Wen Xiaye disappeared as an anchor point, break through time and space, go back to the past, and rescue Wen Xiaye.
Zhong Mengfan had already made up his mind that if he failed, he would use the already determined coordinates to find the Chameleon's base.
Over the years, he'd been honing his abilities and attempting to shatter spacetime. He'd also been tracking down the Chameleons and their leader, Colorless, for information and their whereabouts. The more intelligence he gathered, the more Zhong Mengfan became confused and suspicious.
If he could come back alive, he would verify it himself.
Finally, he succeeded.
The moment he saw Wen Xiaye again, Zhong Mengfan almost burst into tears.
He really wanted to replace his former self, stay in that time and space, and stay by Wen Xiaye's side.
But he couldn't do it.
From the moment he entered this space and time, Zhong Mengfan felt the world's rejection of him, wanting to drive him out. When he used his supernatural powers to completely kill the alien creatures, the power of this rejection instantly intensified. The world was rejecting him, the alien who had arbitrarily changed his fate.
He shattered time and space, successfully rescued Wen Xiaye, and attempted to pass on the ranger's abilities to his past self. He had done everything he should have done, leaving nothing behind, and therefore no regrets...
He was driven out of that world, his body being devoured by a strange force, quickly turning into a point of light. When he was completely driven out of this world, would he cease to exist completely?
The senses of various parts of the body seemed to be gradually disappearing completely. Although he could not feel his hands, he still made distress signals such as "reach out your hand" when he was on the verge of death.
No one will come to save him.
He knows.
No one could save him.
Zhong Mengfan:
His hand was held, and then his dissipated body solidified again.
The force transmitted through his hands dragged his body towards the person who held his hand.
"I caught you, Ranger." A smiling voice sounded in Zhong Mengfan's ears.
"Who" traveled back and forth between two time and space, his body was rejected by the other world, and then reassembled again for unknown reasons. Not only did it consume most of his physical strength and superpowers, but his consciousness also became hazy. Zhong Mengfan was actually very weak.
"The person you most want to see." The other party answered very naturally.
But I've already met him.
Zhong Mengfan said in his heart, then frowned slightly and looked up at the man. The other party's voice was very familiar to him, Wen Xiaye's voice.
However, the mask on the man's face revealed his identity, which was exactly what Zhong Mengfan had learned through intelligence: Wu Se, the leader of the Color Changing Organization.
Zhong Mengfan warned, "Although you caught me, don't make such jokes and don't imitate his voice." There was a caution in his voice that he himself didn't even realize.
The man ignored the warning and said, "I remember I told you to take good care of yourself." As he spoke, he took off his mask, revealing a face that Zhong Mengfan was very familiar with.
Wen Xia Ye
…
When he saw his face, Zhong Mengfan was completely stunned. His mind suddenly went blank and he didn't know how to react.
"You didn't listen to me carefully." Wen Xiayero caressed Zhong Mengfan's cheek with the same attitude as he used to treat his lover. His expression was intimate and his tone was completely inconsistent with his words. "I will punish you for this."
Seeing Zhong Mengfan's puzzled and bewildered expression, he "kindly" explained, "Because I'm a bad guy."
Wen Xiaye lifted Zhong Mengfan's chin and pressed his lips with his fingertips. His meaning was clear. He didn't want Zhong Mengfan to resist at this time or say anything he didn't want to hear.
The tip of her finger continued to rub Zhong Mengfan's lips. "Don't resist, obey me. Because, I am the most important to you - my love."
【Author has something to say】
Because this is an alternate timeline, I'm not going to go into too much detail, as it would be rather wordy. This world is inherently fragile, and Zhong Mengfan's shattering of space accelerated the fusion with the other world, essentially the Fourth Calamity. He completed what the system wanted him to do on his behalf.
=.= Of course there are also some punishments for those who don't obey, so please fill in the blanks with 3000 words of OOXX.
