Chapter 85 Liar
I used the communicator to contact Zhong Mengfan and told him the location of the passage to the third floor. Then I swiped the access card and met up with Zhong Mengfan.
"How did you get to the third floor?" he asked.
"A guest asked me to stay with him overnight." I took Zhong Mengfan to the room we were in just now.
Hearing what I said, Zhong Mengfan was furious. "Wow!!! How could he do this? Did he take advantage of you?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
He realized it belatedly. "Oh, that seems to be true. So, let's beat him up! It's not enough for you to beat him up alone. I want to beat him up too!"
He rolled up his sleeves, opened the door angrily, and saw the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, motionless.
Zhong Mengfan:!
He asked nervously, "Did you kill him because he offended you? Ah, a corpse! I haven't dealt with it yet. I need to hide the body quickly so no one finds it."
I threw the watch in my pocket at the hypnotized man. "No, don't be nervous. I just let him fall asleep and have a dream."
A nightmare that changed his life forever.
Zhong Mengfan breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, go to the third floor first. Have you found any clues?"
I nodded and said, "Hu Hai is on the third floor."
"Then let's go find him now."
I called Zhong Mengfan here, but now I'm a little hesitant. I imagine that if Hu Hai was at the Manzi Club, he'd be seduced by his super girlfriend into becoming a superpowered person, and would have done something even more extreme. The man's words just now confirmed these assumptions.
I looked at Zhong Mengfan. Should I take him to Room 304?
So I said, "Use the communicator to report the situation here. Someone will be responsible for the subsequent cleanup. Our mission ends here."
The work of professional heroes will also encounter many unexpected situations, and things that cannot be completed quickly by a professional hero alone.
The logistics department at Super Hero Headquarters handles the disposal of corpses, treating innocent civilians caught in the midst of superpower battles, clearing hidden dangers in damaged and severely damaged buildings, and managing traffic congestion caused by the closure of the scene of a supernatural event. These tasks are often handled by the logistics department, known as the "scavengers" of superpower events.
"Why don't we already know that Hu Hai is here? If we just find him directly, we can complete this mission faster."
"The third floor only accepts guests who want to stay overnight."
He reacted belatedly, "Xia Ye, you're treating me like a child."
I uttered a single "yeah"
Zhong Mengfan looked me straight in the eye, his expression serious and his tone stern. "But I'm not that anymore. You brought me into the world of superpowers, and I've become a professional hero—and heroes, as they should, have to face everything!"
I raised the corners of my mouth slightly and said, "Sorry, I was overthinking it."
Zhong Mengfan shook his head. "I know you're concerned about me. But this is my mission, so I have to complete it and give Hu Qian an explanation. Besides, I'm not completely clueless. I can guess what Hu Hai will do in the Super Girlfriend video and the second and third floors of the club, which are not open to the public."
I pondered for a moment. "You reminded me that I always subconsciously try to limit you to the scope of my control based on my own thoughts. It's protection, but also control."
I raised my hand and patted his head naturally. "Now, this can't happen anymore. I should start letting you go. There will come a day when you will have to stand on your own."
Zhong Mengfan blushed and waved his hands. "Ah, not really... I still have a lot to learn from you."
I opened the door and said, "Let's go find Hu Hai."
"good."
I used the foreman's universal access card to open room 304 and saw two naked bodies entangled on the bed. The man lying underneath was Hu Hai.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the man stopped and asked, "Who are you and how did you get in?" He looked unhappy because his interest was disturbed.
Zhong Mengfan ignored the man. He walked forward decisively and raised his fist.
"Hmm." With just one punch, the man was knocked down.
He slightly shifted his gaze, then said to Hu Hai on the bed, "You are Hu Hai, right? We are here to find you on your sister's behalf."
Hu Hai put on his bathrobe. He looked even more gloomy than in the photo Hu Qian gave him. He showed his impatience, "My sister is doing unnecessary things again. I'm fine here. I don't need you private detectives to meddle in my business!" Hu Hai mistook us for private detectives hired by Hu Qian.
Zhong Mengfan pointed at the unconscious man on the ground with an incredulous look on his face. "You call this good for doing these things here? You've been deceived by your super girlfriend. This is not a place to gain super powers at all."
"She didn't lie to me. This is a person with special abilities. If you hadn't suddenly barged in and attacked him, catching him off guard, he wouldn't have fallen so easily." Hu Hai shook the man on the ground and said, "Hey, wake up, Mr. Special Ability."
I took out the communicator, performed a facial scan on the unconscious man, and finally called up the man's file. "This man is not a mutant, he is just an ordinary person." I held the man's information in front of Hu Hai.
"How is that possible? I clearly saw him display his superpowers to me, even though they weren't particularly powerful." He looked intently at the communicator in my hand. "This is a communicator only superheroes have!"
He recognized Zhong Mengfan and me and said, "...You're not private detectives, you're professional heroes!"
Zhong Mengfan admitted, "Yes, so what Super Girlfriend said on the Internet is not true. Believe me, Hu Hai."
"Ah, so I've been cheated again..." He muttered to himself at first, but the blow of being deceived did not last long on Hu Hai, and he quickly regained his composure.
I thought of Hu Qian's description of Hu Hai. In order to become a superpower, Hu Hai has tried many rumored methods of obtaining superpowers, but of course he failed without exception.
This is not the first time that Hu Hai has been deceived because he wanted to become a superpower.
Maybe, it won’t be the last time.
