The diners in the ramen restaurant had already retreated to the wall, looking at him with fear and expectation.
Di Wang cleared his throat, and the roar of the Emperor's engine just added a bit of majesty to him.
"Don't panic, everyone."
His deep voice echoed in the ramen restaurant, "This monster has lost its combat effectiveness. As a hero, it is my responsibility to bring her back to the association for justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the diners around him burst into warm applause and cheers.
"As expected of you, Lord King!"
"So cool! We must capture the monster alive!"
"Take a picture quickly! We have to record the King's heroic presence. This is exclusive news!"
Di Wang looked towards the mosquito girl without changing his expression, but his heart was beating fast.
He squatted down and carefully observed this powerful monster who once gave Genos a hard fight.
The mosquito girl seemed to sense something and slightly opened her blood-red eyes. When she saw the face of the man in front of her clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted.
"K...King..." The Mosquito Girl's broken wings trembled violently, her voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum but full of fear, "No...don't kill me..."
Apparently, as a frontline fighter in Jinyi's family, she had also heard of King's reputation.
[Ding! Detection of the demon-level monster Mosquito Girl causing strong fear to the host, Deterrence points +200! ]
The system prompt sound made Di Wang happy.
A good start!
He stretched out his hand in a profound manner, grabbed the Mosquito Girl's slender neck and lifted her up.
This action caused exclamations from the surroundings.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Di Wang lowered his voice to make sure only the mosquito girl could hear him. "But you have to cooperate with me, right?"
The Mosquito Girl nodded weakly, with beads of blood still hanging on her long eyelashes.
Di Wang could feel her petite body trembling in his hands. The feeling of controlling a powerful creature made his heart beat faster.
"Everyone, please make way."
Di Wang stood up holding the Mosquito Girl. The roar of the Emperor's engine made the onlookers automatically make way for him. "The Hero Association has special containment facilities to deal with this kind of situation."
Walking out of the ramen restaurant, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them.
Di Wang looked down at the dying Mosquito Girl in his arms, and a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This is a treasure trove..."
…
Di Wang did not bring Mosquito Girl to the Hero Association.
Are you kidding?
If we give it to the association, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing over the "experience treasure" and potential research samples that we have just obtained to others?
Along the way, he deliberately avoided the main streets where people gathered, and walked through the quiet alleys.
Finally, he returned to King's residence in a high-end apartment complex in M.
Unlocked by fingerprint, the heavy alloy door slid open silently.
What comes into view is the typical configuration of a man living alone, but it is surprisingly spacious and tidy.
The most eye-catching thing in the living room is a giant screen that takes up almost the entire wall. It is surrounded by top-notch audio equipment and game consoles, and in the corner are piled limited edition figures and thick game disc collections.
Thanks to the generous remuneration paid by the Hero Association every month based on the hero rankings, King, who is ranked 7th in S-class, can be said to be in the top salary class and does not need to worry about his livelihood at all.
After carefully closing the alloy door, Di Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With his back against the cold door, he looked down at the Mosquito Girl in his arms, who was still unconscious but whose breathing seemed to have become steadier.
That broken body, covered with coagulated blood and dust, formed a stark contrast to his clean and tidy living room.
"Tsk, we can't just leave it like this..." Di Wang frowned.
He needed Mosquito Girl alive, awake, and... terrified.
But it was not okay to leave her lying on the floor in such a dirty state.
For more than an hour, Di Wang experienced what it meant to be "in a rush".
He was not a professional medical worker or biologist. Dealing with a strange person who had lost his limbs and looked like a human female was much more difficult and embarrassing than he had imagined.
He found a large plastic basin, added warm water to it, and rummaged through the drawers to find a few worn-out towels.
