Chapter 26 Chapter 26 A chaotic scene
"I'm so stupid, really." 666 muttered. "I only knew that Earth teenagers were difficult to deal with, full of strange ideas and rebellious and reckless. But I didn't know that when several Earth teenagers gathered together, they could achieve a greater effect than the sum of their parts, and come up with a bunch of stupid things that would make you dizzy."
[Alright, alright. You've been scolding us all the way. Aren't you tired? Why don't you take a break?]
Outside the transparent barrier, Benjamin, who attacked in Kryptonian form, was floating in space and said helplessly.
Little did they know that this action made No. 666, who could read lips, even more desperate: "Benjamin, have you forgotten that there is no air in space and sound cannot be transmitted?"
Yes!
Benjamin, who was outside the barrier, knocked his other palm with his fist, making an "I see" gesture, then waved to the location of the ice ghost cubs in the barrier, indicating to Li Hua that he could let them out.
Li Hua made an "OK" gesture, then held the staff to make a part of the area at the top of the barrier accessible to the ice ghost babies.
"Come on, four of you go out first, just like we agreed." Jason stopped the fifth and sixth Ice Ghost cubs who were trying to squeeze in. "No, your mother only has two arms, and you can't hold her. You'll be my turn soon."
The Kryptonians were indeed very fast. Benjamin held the four cubs and flew towards the side of the sun facing away from the earth, sending them to the surface of the sun, where the occasional solar prominence would cover their traces.
This scene, which is fatal to humans, is an overwhelming amount of food in the eyes of the ice ghost cubs who feed on solar plasma. They excitedly pounce on it and sink into the ocean of solar plasma at five or six thousand degrees Celsius to feast on it.
After Benjamin found that they were really happy, he went back to pick up the remaining cubs with satisfaction. He gestured to them one by one that he was leaving and made sure that all the cubs saw and responded. Then he flew back to Earth with the protective barrier that only Jason and Li Hua were left.
As soon as he landed, Benjamin couldn't help but shout, "I knew this trick would work, right? How about number 666? Isn't it super cool?"
No. 666: […I don’t want to talk to Daitou.]
The lack of buy-in from the desperate guardians did not affect the enthusiasm of others.
Li Hua: "It's so spectacular... I want to go again next time!"
"So cool!" Jason cheered and secretly made up his mind to build a spaceship to travel in the universe in the future.
Next, now that the children have been temporarily settled, it's time for them to settle themselves.
Benjamin: "Then we need to hurry. I told the kids I'd pick them up once I'd prepared a new place to live. I can't be a parent who goes back on his word."
Number 666 spoke through the Omnitrix: "With all due respect, bringing them back would be bad for them. According to their normal life cycle, they should rest near the sun for a while after birth, and then set off to fly to their home planet in deep space."
Benjamin: “I can pick them up and drop them off at the same time every day, just like my parents used to take me to and from school.”
He took Jason's warning to heart and was very worried about the children's safety. If Benjamin could not transform for a long time, he would have turned into an ice ghost and stayed directly with the cubs to accompany them.
Jason: "I think it's time I put headphones on my shopping list. Otherwise, if there's an emergency outside, I won't be able to hear you, number 666."
No. 666: "Compared to headphones, I think you may need a power bank more, because if you take out your phone now, you will find that it has run out of battery and turned off."
Jason looked at the phone in his pocket and saw that it had turned into a black brick with no battery.
This is understandable. What high-end phone could a small-time thug have? Even if Jason didn't use the phone much, at best just to tell the time and use it as an external speaker for No. 666, it hadn't been charged for two days since it changed hands. It was quite resilient to die at this time.
No wonder No. 666 chose to communicate with Omnitrix after Jason returned to Benjamin's vicinity. Jason originally thought that it was still wary of him, but now it seems that No. 666 is just wary of the battery level of his phone.
Jason: "No matter how big our shopping list is, it will take money to achieve it. Unfortunately, we're short on cash right now, and we can't fill the funding gap with the small-scale operations we've been doing. So let's take down a few gangs; they're the ones with the most money."
There are many criminal organizations of all sizes in Blüdhaven. You can both uphold justice and provide for your family, so why not do it?
Li Hua: "But... even if they are criminals, killing people, and killing all the members of a gang... I still can't bring myself to do it. I guess Ben's personality is..."
Benjamin suddenly became serious: "You can't kill people!"
Jason: "Wait wait wait—who said anything about killing someone?!"
Although he had considered how to fight violence with violence and set up his own black organization, he had never thought of killing everyone at once - no! When he said the above paragraph, he had never thought of taking these two people to kill people!
Even the above is just a preliminary idea, he hasn't made a detailed plan!
Li Hua analyzed seriously, "As for illegal organizations, if we don't eradicate them completely, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. Isn't it just a matter of eradicating them completely?"
Jason: “…”
Benjamin: “…”
What are you saying with that innocent face?
No. 666: "Are you stupid? For an organization like this to function properly, both personnel and funds are essential. If you're so worried, just move all their stuff away. Without money, the gang members won't be willing to work. If everything goes well, the organization will fall apart without you even having to fight. Without money, they won't be able to seek revenge or hire assassins. Without money, they'll have no connections, and they won't even be able to track you down."
Jason: "...the Magic Boy changes to the Phantom Thief Saint Boy?"
Benjamin pondered what No. 666 had said. "Yeah... Come to think of it, Vilgax has to spend money to hire mercenaries, and Dr. Dong Wu has to spend money to buy equipment. So, can I actually try to strike them hard financially?"
Li Hua: "I think economic sanctions are useless against these two guys. After all, the robot subordinates and the mutant biological army do not need to be paid."
Benjamin beamed. "Great! Then I don't have to worry about all that tedious economics. I can just beat them up. I still prefer the feeling of just beating up the bad guys. Li Hua, don't worry too much. There are so many criminals in Blüdhaven, I definitely won't sit idly by. Since I'm being targeted anyway, this little bit doesn't matter."
Li Hua: "That's right! That's all right then. Jason, which gang should we take down first?"
Jason deeply felt the difference between different professions. "...Li Hua... Forget it, Benjamin, have you ever been involved in illegal organizations and gangs in your hometown? Or even come across and interact with them often? I mean the ones made up of humans."
Benjamin: "Yeah, most of the people I beat up were evil aliens and some mentally unstable Earthlings. The latter were usually thrown into prison after the beatings, but they always found some strange way to escape or were jailbroken."
Jason: ...No wonder there's such a lack of common sense.
"So how did you act as a hero before? How did you and your team coordinate before each operation?"
Benjamin: "Most of the time, my cousin, Kevin, our former nemesis and now brother, and I would go out at night to beat up the bad guys and get home before curfew. As for the coordination before the operation... I don't know what you're talking about, because basically, if we heard that there were alien monsters causing trouble, we would go out and raid a few of their hideouts, and then we would naturally find clues."
"So to put it simply, you and your team are basically only responsible for fighting and not investigating cases?"
"That's not accurate. My cousin Gwen and my good brother Kevin sometimes check intelligence and enemy movements, but I'm not good at that. I'm better at fighting."
Very good, Benjamin’s intelligence gathering experience is also close to zero.
Jason took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt subtly as tired as Bruce when he saw people who appeared out of nowhere and spontaneously fought crime.
It is no exaggeration to say that Benjamin is even more troublesome than Li Hua, just like most of those who drown can swim.
That won't work.
Benjamin and Li Hua will save the world in the future. They are no longer ordinary idiots and blank slates, and they must make up for their shortcomings!
…
"Um... Jason?" Li Hua, who had changed back into men's clothing, said, "I remember he said he would teach us some skills that would help us become more mature."
"Yes, I remember you saying that too." Benjamin pulled Li Hua to dodge the incoming punch. Jason spun around and knocked the guy who was trying to sneak up on him with a punch. The chaotic environment forced him to raise his voice to ensure his words were heard. "Then why are we fighting in the bar now?"
So why did things turn out like this?
At the beginning, Jason said he wanted to teach them some intelligence skills that superheroes must have. He specifically asked Li Hua and Benjamin to put away their equipment and not use their special abilities. Then he took them to a very remote, dirty, but crowded bar. He sat down and ordered three drinks that they didn't drink at all. He quietly analyzed the possible identities and psychological activities of each member of the bar through his actions and micro-expressions.
So far so good.
But they couldn't understand the next action.
Jason asked them to stay in the corner and not go out, observe their surroundings carefully, then walked out. A few words angered a strong man and his accomplices, and the tavern turned into a boxing ring in seconds.
Although they didn't understand what Jason was doing, Benjamin and Li Hua still listened to him and looked around. They were not the only ones doing this in the tavern.
Fighting should be a very common thing in the pub. Some people treat the sound of fighting as background noise, some people cheer, and some people watch the show silently.
[Pay attention to the guy in the motorcycle jacket at 11 o'clock.] Number 666 knew that these two people couldn't tell anything, so he gave a warning: [Pay attention to his expression and be careful with your movements.]
Li Hua tried to observe the man as discreetly as possible without moving his head. The man was leaning on the bar with his right hand on his waist. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on Jason, who had overturned the whole place with his own strength.
Benjamin glanced at the man, but after noticing anything, he looked away and continued to stare at Jason. When he noticed a burly man lying on the ground reaching for his waist, he rushed forward and kicked the gun that the burly man had just grasped away.
Then Benjamin was forced to join the battlefield. Li Hua noticed that when the strong man reached for his gun, the man at the bar also reached for his gun, but he stopped after Benjamin kicked the gun away, and his eyes shifted from Jason to Benjamin.
Since all his teammates had rushed forward, there was no reason for Li Hua not to rush forward, especially since his teammates didn't seem to notice that there was a gunman at the scene.
So before No. 666 could warn him, Li Hua slipped behind the bar, grabbed a bottle of wine, and shot the head off the real manager of the bar who was trying to recruit "good seedlings" into the gang and was holding a gun with his hand ready to fire a shot to stop the fight at any time.
At this point, the scene fell into complete chaos.
While cooperating with Jason's teaching, number 666 didn't realize what Li Hua was going to do, so he was a step late in reminding him: ...
Forget it, let the world be destroyed.
-----------------------
Author's words: P.S. Li Hua didn't shoot anyone, he just blew the man's head off with a bottle. The man didn't die, just his head was broken (I mean bleeding, not the more physical kind of broken)
