Chapter 72 You Are Not Qualified
"But these are not reasons for you to use your superpowers to harm innocent people. Why kill people?"
Facing my questioning, he didn't show much expression. "Of course it's because I need the money. I'm a superpower whose freedom is restricted by the superhero headquarters. Taking away valuables will definitely be noticed by the owner. I don't want to be discovered, so I just kill them. It's actually very easy to kill people with superpowers." His tone was full of indifference and cruelty towards life.
Zhong Mengfan frowned slightly. "Hey, you were once a student in the Hero Department of the Supernatural School. People with supernatural powers shouldn't use their abilities against innocent lives. Have you forgotten that?"
He sneered, "You said it too, it was once."
"I actually took your advice, Doctor. I tried to continue living as a normal person. I found a job. I also met a girl on social media who matched my personality and looks perfectly. She's very smart and talented, a top student at a university in the capital. But she said she's a superhero fan."
At this point, Chen Ziyou lowered his eyes. "So, I told her I was a student about to graduate from the School for Psychics, a trainee hero. She was very happy, and that's how we started dating."
Zhong Mengfan frowned and said disapprovingly, "A relationship that starts with lies will never have a good ending!"
Chen Ziyou actually nodded and said, "That's what you said."
And I vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"I love my girlfriend very much." When Chen Ziyou mentioned the girl he liked, his eyes changed and his expression softened. "I bought her a lot of things. Although she always told me not to buy such expensive things, I can see that she likes them and is very happy."
I asked, "Is this why you kill people?"
"Yeah, my "identity" is a "trainee hero," so of course I have a lot of money. Isn't it normal to give my girlfriend expensive gifts?"
Listening to him chattering on about his experiences, I began to get a little impatient. "Even if you become a professional hero, it doesn't mean that your life will be smooth sailing. Life is full of choices, accompanied by good and bad opportunities. You failed to become a hero, and chose the worst result. Ultimately, it's because you lack the ability." It only takes one sword to kill Chen Ziyou.
"A scumbag and a self-righteous man pretending to be a hero! A disgusting emotional liar!!!" In anger, Zhong Mengfan gathered his supernatural powers into his right fist and swung it towards Chen Ziyou.
The poison gas that condensed around Chen Ziyou's body was immediately dispersed, but the dispersed poison gas quickly gathered again under Chen Ziyou's control. "Hmm~ Your ability has some inhibitory effect on me, but it is only to this extent."
He taunted, "Are all the professional heroes these days just weaklings like you? Be careful, your ability control is too poor. If you spread the poison gas too far, it will affect the innocent people on the ground. Even a tiny amount of the poison I release will cause someone to fall into a coma, but if you inhale too much at once, of course they'll die."
"Damn it..." Zhong Mengfan gritted his teeth, feeling hesitant because of Chen Ziyou's words.
"Doctor, I'm a little angry to hear you questioning my abilities. In my opinion, the person next to you is not very capable at all. Is he your disciple? I'm really doubting your judgment now."
Chen Ziyou raised his hand, and the purple poison gas, as if possessed by consciousness, gathered around the spot he pointed. "Look, doctor. If only I were given enough time, I could master my abilities. But the school administrators only questioned me, depriving me of my qualifications to become a professional hero. It's all their fault that I'm what I am now! So, I won't accept this!"
"Your so-called control ability is based on the premise of harming innocent lives."
I have seen that Chen Ziyou's mental state is abnormal and he has self-destructive tendencies.
Zhong Mengfan asked, "Have you ever thought about how your girlfriend, who worships superheroes, would feel about you if she knew what you did?"
"She won't know." Chen Ziyou said decisively, "The authorities have always suppressed all news of malicious incidents involving people with special abilities."
"Speaking of which, Doctor, I still don't know your heroic nickname. Let me guess, that black sword that appeared out of nowhere, could it be the Night Demon?"
I didn't answer, and Chen Ziyou continued to speak to himself, "It seems I guessed right. The doctor is the famous A-class hero Night Demon. I'm very happy. I knew I was here, and sooner or later a professional hero would find me. I just didn't expect it to be you, doctor. What a surprising fate."
I slightly adjusted the angle of my sword. "Actually, when we met, the academy asked me to do a psychological evaluation on you. Aren't you curious about the results of my evaluation of you? The result is - you failed."
