Chapter 86 My Choice
Hu Hai looked at Zhong Mengfan and me without hesitation, and finally stared at us and said, "But because of this, I now see the real thing."
Sensing that he wasn't in the right state, I warned him, "Don't overthink it. Even a pro hero can't awaken superpowers in ordinary people."
"That's simply because the Super Hero Headquarters looks down on ordinary people and is unwilling to try to awaken superpowers on ordinary people."
Seeing Hu Hai's stubborn look, Zhong Mengfan frowned and said, "Hu Hai, come with us and leave here. Hu Qian is very worried about you."
"No, I won't leave," Hu Hai refused. Zhong Mengfan mentioned his sister, Hu Qian, and he looked annoyed. "Since you're family, you should support me unconditionally. If you can't do that, you shouldn't hold me back."
Zhong Mengfan obviously disagreed with Hu Hai's words. "Calling her a hindrance is too much. She just cares about you and doesn't want you to get hurt. Don't you still trust us?"
Hu Hai pointed at Zhong Mengfan and me and said, "You are the ones who don't understand the situation at all! I am an adult. I will be responsible for my actions and bear the consequences. I don't need anyone to interfere. But you don't consider my wishes. You are just doing this purely to complete Hu Qian's commission and achieve your so-called "justice."
He pointed at the animal ears on his head. "Look at me. I was born a subhuman. My appearance is different from most people, so I was often discriminated against and bullied by other children when I was young. Every time I was like that, I became more determined that I would one day become a superpowered person. I was born different from ordinary people and was destined to be extraordinary."
So, this isn't just a dream—becoming a superpower is the whole meaning of my life."
"Even if you stay here, your life will not change. Thinking that you are extraordinary does not mean you are really extraordinary. The proportion of so-called elites in this world is only 6%, and the number of people with superpowers is even smaller. Everything that Super Girlfriend told you was a scam from beginning to end. You are just being played with by ordinary people like you. You can't tell right from wrong, so how can you be extraordinary?" I said something stern.
After I finished speaking, Hu Hai's expression became somewhat frantic. He began to speak, "This man is fake, but I've seen a real psychic before. He was very cautious, covering his face and changing his voice, not wanting me to know his identity. We exchanged body fluids, and then flames appeared in my palm! My super girlfriend said that as long as I meet 20 ordinary people... she will introduce me to a psychic."
He was explaining to us, but also seemed to be stubbornly insisting on what he believed. "Today I didn't meet the 20-person requirement because he made some requests in bed that I didn't want to agree to. Then he showed me his "superpowers" and told me that he was a superpower. I was just too impatient, so I was easily deceived by this man today."
Zhong Mengfan couldn't understand Hu Hai's words at all. "What are you talking about? No matter what, your current thinking is abnormal... Rather than saying that you are doing this to become a superpower, it's better to say that you have become a person who can't think normally and is enslaved by "superpowers."
Hu Hai untied his bathrobe, revealing his body. "I was just thinking, you guys are professional heroes, right? So please help me. In return, I'll make you happy."
"What are you doing? Put on your clothes quickly!" Zhong Mengfan turned his head away.
I stood in front of Hu Hai. "Although finding you means the mission is complete, but the way you are, even if I hand you over to Hu Qian, it won't actually change anything. You will still continue to try those so-called methods of awakening superpowers."
"You're right, so I won't leave." He emphasized again, "Actually, I don't want to see Hu Qian either. They are siblings born together, but she is the only one who became a superpower. I'm very jealous. If you really want me to see her, that's fine, but help me now." He opened his arms to me, wanting to throw himself into my arms.
Before Hu Hai could get close to me, I reached out and touched his forehead with my finger, causing him to lose consciousness and fall onto the bed behind him.
I took out the potion I applied for for this mission from my pocket, a dark blue one, and injected it into Hu Hai's body. "I want to erase Hu Hai's memory of this place, and then give him psychological hints to change his obsession with awakening his superpowers." After I said this, I didn't hear Zhong Mengfan raise any objections.
I turned my head slightly and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"
"Hu Hai is right. This is a task I completed for Hu Qian. He is not the one I am enforcing justice on."
Zhong Mengfan paused, glancing at the unconscious Hu Hai lying on the bed. "And I have no way to deal with him. I can't convince him that this is all a complete scam, and it's even more impossible to awaken him with my own special abilities."
As a professional hero, I want to help him, but I don't have a win-win solution to this matter. All I can do is bring him back to Hu Qian, but this goes against his will."
I raised my hand and pinched Zhong Mengfan's slightly depressed face.
"It hurts, Xia Ye."
"Don't make that expression. If you can't make a choice, you can leave it to me."
Zhong Mengfan picked up the bathrobe on the ground and put it back on Hu Hai. "I'm only a C-rank hero now, but I won't stay there forever. I want to be a stronger hero. Indecision is a big taboo. Giving the right to choose to others is escaping."
He took the empty dark blue bottle from my hand and said, "So, my choice is the same as yours."
