"Everyone, let's not waste any more time." Xiqi's voice was deep and powerful. "According to the prediction of the great fortune teller Xibabawa, the earth is about to face an unprecedented crisis. The alien invasion is just the beginning, and greater threats are yet to come."
After saying that, he walked to the projector and called up a set of data.
The screen then displayed a graph showing the frequency of strange people appearing in the past three months.
It was a red line rising vertically, which was shocking to the eye.
"The situation is worse than we expected." Xiqi pointed to the chart and said, "The conventional hero recruitment method can no longer keep up with the speed of threat growth. We have to... find another way."
As soon as these words were spoken, whispers suddenly broke out in the conference room.
An elderly director could not help but ask, "President Xiqi, what do you mean...?"
"I mean..."
Xiqi slammed the table, and the crisp sound made the entire conference room quiet in an instant.
"From today on, the Hero Association will establish the 'Earth Defense Special Team'. The members include but are not limited to gang members, prison inmates, and desperate criminals in underground fighting arenas. Anyone who is capable of fighting monsters will be pardoned!"
These words were like a bomb that exploded in the conference room.
The directors looked at each other in bewilderment, and one of them stood up from his chair in astonishment.
"This... this is crazy!" A female director couldn't help but exclaimed, "Let those criminals become heroes? They will only mess up the city!"
"It's not about turning these criminals into heroes!" Xiqi said as he took out a remote control and a collar from his trouser pocket. "This is the explosive collar invented by Child Emperor. Once a criminal wears it, he can never take it off. Those who don't obey can be killed directly!"
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and three men wearing explosive collars and orange prison uniforms walked into the conference room.
"This is the Class A wanted criminal, Jack the Ripper, who once slaughtered a mafia family overnight. This is Marina the Scorpion, who poisoned half of the people in the rich neighborhood with biological weapons. And this big guy, Brock the Meat Grinder, is a legendary champion of underground black boxing. He was thrown into prison after killing a wealthy man due to an accident..."
As Xiqi introduced the situation, the directors' faces became increasingly ugly.
These people are all notorious murderers, their hands are stained with the blood of those in power, and they are hated by all those in power.
"Now," Xiqi suddenly raised his voice, "we can waste them all and let each of them stand at the forefront of the fight against the monsters!"
At this time, Child Emperor added: "And according to my calculations, heroes often suffer casualties when dealing with disasters due to unclear intelligence. We need these... special 'consumables'."
Xiqi walked to the window and looked down at the rebuilding City A: "In the afternoon, I will hold a public speech in the central square to officially announce the establishment of the 'Earth Defense Special Force'. At that time, more than 500 elite criminals and gangsters from prisons around the world will be present."
He turned around, his eyes flashing dangerously: "You can choose to support this plan, or... submit your resignation now."
After hearing this, all the directors fell silent and no one dared to raise any objections.
…
M City.
Di Wang brought Nu S and Black-eyed Sykes home. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a fierce scolding coming from the living room.
"You got this question wrong again!" Fubuki stood across the coffee table, holding a stack of test papers in her hands, her emerald eyes burning with anger, "I just taught you yesterday! What is the first rule of the hero code?"
The Mosquito Girl knelt in front of the coffee table, her long pink hair scattered messily on her shoulders. She bit the end of a pencil with tears in her eyes and said hesitantly: "Protect, protect the safety of the citizens..."
"Wrong!" Fubuki slapped the coffee table so hard that the teacup bounced. "The first rule of the hero code is 'do not harm the innocent'! The answer you wrote yesterday was to suck up all the monsters that attack humans!"
