Chapter 158 I Will Join the Superhero Association
In the silent abandoned train station.
Ke Mingye sat on the public wooden chair in a daze, his eyes fixed on the name on the business card. He swallowed a mouthful of water, his Adam's apple slowly rolling up and down. Cold sweat oozed from the back of his hands.
After coming to his senses, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at the name on the chat panel.
That’s right… The first ordinary person in this city to be controlled by a parasite is exactly the same as the name on the business card in his hand: “Commander of the Superhero Association”:
——“Che Zhengchen”.
Ke Mingye gasped. Only now did he realize that it was most likely Gastro who had extended an olive branch to Blue Owl.
"Is this true? It turns out that this 'Che Zhengchen' has been controlled by Gastro using insects..."
"I wonder why he would be interested in me... After all, I asked the weird thing to commission Gastro to kill the blue owl. Gastro wanted to use "Che Zhengchen" to lure me into a trap, right?"
Ke Mingye muttered to himself softly, breaking out in a cold sweat at this fact.
If he joined the Super Hero Association under the identity of Ke Mingye and revealed his identity in front of Che Zhengchen.
Moreover, he will only have the superhuman information panel on his body when he wears the combat uniform.
If Gastro saw Che Zhengchen's true form after he took off his combat uniform through his eyes and discovered that Ke Mingye did not have an information panel on his body, then it would be over...
"Luckily I didn't fall into the trap."
Ke Mingye took a deep breath and thought to himself.
After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly found something very strange: if Che Zhengchen was controlled, the top leaders of the association should be able to see it, and the members of the superhero team would not have been unaware of it.
So Gastro should have left Che Zhengchen alone for the time being, letting him act freely. When he was needed, he would activate the worms in his body to control him to do things.
Based on previous observations, people who are parasitized by insects will not remember what they did during the period of being controlled, which can also explain why Che Zhengchen himself did not notice it.
"Thinking about it this way, the fact that he extended the olive branch to me should be his own will, not being controlled by Gastro. Otherwise, when those new superheroes asked him about this matter afterwards, he would have realized that something was wrong." Ke Mingye thought.
Che Zhengchen is definitely a good card. He is an ordinary person, but he has certain qualifications and status in the Super Hero Association. Maybe he can even meet the top leaders of the Super Hero Association.
Gastro would never be stupid enough to abuse this card in normal times and make Che Zhengchen realize that there are parasites in his body.
After all, it is not easy to kill a small character like Blue Owl. There is no need to mobilize Che Zhengchen. Besides, she does not completely trust the words of the monster.
Ke Mingye opened the chat panel with his mind and sent a message to Cai Bing.
[Failed Man: This "Che Zhengchen" you found out is a commander of the Super Hero Association, right? ]
【Cai Bing: No, buddy, I was just about to say that, how did you know? 】
[Cai Bing: I just checked his background. You didn't install surveillance cameras in my rental house, did you? Or you put a doll to spy on me. This is a bit beyond the line. I suggest you keep your distance.]
[Failed Man: Please don’t misunderstand me. I just went out to scam people in my Blue Owl uniform, and then I got this “Che Zhengchen” business card from a new superhero.]
[Failed Man: That person said Che Zhengchen was his superior, a commander who was in charge of the superhero team. I heard online that this kind of job usually involves serving as a psychological counselor for superheroes, and issuing instructions and tasks to them.]
【Cai Bing: Oh, I understand. 】
[Cai Bing: What a coincidence. Anyway, I suggest you don't join the Super Hero Association for now. This guy has been controlled by Gastro's bugs, so it's not surprising that he will do anything.]
[Cai Bing: By the way, the surveillance camera at that place was destroyed, but I used some special means to restore the video footage at that time. Now only the two of us should know about this.]
Ke Mingye typed in the chat box: [It’s okay, I can contact him and see if I can get some information about Gastro from him…]
Before the fight was over, Cai Bing sent me a message.
[Cai Bing: Although I said so, I think with your personality, you will definitely want to give it a try, so go for it.]
Ke Mingye's eyes twitched and he silently took back the words he was about to type.
[Failed Man: Haha, you already know this. ]
[Cai Bing: By the way, I have a one-time "hypnosis" prop on hand, which Fan Quan gave me last time. If you need it, you can ask me for it. ]
【Failed Man: What's the use of this? 】
[Cai Bing: For example, those who are controlled by bugs will basically choose to forget things related to the bugs, but they may not really forget. Hypnosis may help them regain these memories.]
[Failed Man: I understand. You want me to hypnotize Che Zhengchen to see if I can find clues about Gastro?] [Cai Bing: You also need a brain imaging helmet, so that you can reproduce Gastro's appearance from Che Zhengchen's mind.]
[Failed Man: I'll try my best. Maybe my dad will give me a brain imaging helmet to play with, or I can ask Xiziyue for one. It shouldn't be difficult.]
[Cai Bing: Is this the charm of being a gigolo? I’m a little envious.]
[Failed Man: Haha, you are dating my brother, how dare you say that to me. ]
[Cai Bing: By the way, to be fair, Gastro is indeed very dangerous, but she is also a good card for us players. To be honest, at this stage, she may be able to play a greater role than you. Of course, in the long run, if she chooses to trust you, then killing her to maintain your identity is also an option. ]
[Zai Bing: I still don’t know her position and background. The blood hunter organization behind her is also quite suspicious.]
[Cai Bing: So what are you going to do? Are you going to kill Gastro? ]
【Failed Man: It depends. 】
[Cai Bing: So you plan to betray your vampire sister? ]
Ke Mingye's fingers paused for a moment, then typed on the chat panel.
【Failed Man: It depends on the situation. 】
[Zai Bing: It depends on the situation. Forget it, I listen to Fan Quan anyway. If he thinks you are trustworthy, then there is no need for me to say anything.]
【Cai Bing: I went to sleep.】
[Failed Man: Okay, I'll trouble you today, hacker girl. ]
[Cai Bing: Oh, and there is one more piece of information. ]
[Cai Bing: So far, Gastro's parasite has only attacked ordinary people, not superhumans. In the surveillance footage, there were several occasions when it could have chosen to parasitize superhumans, but it did not.]
[Cai Bing: This means that Gastro's parasites cannot parasitize superhumans, but can only parasitize ordinary people. Similarly, it should have no effect on players, so you don't have to worry about being parasitized. ]
[Failed Man: So, Che Zhengchen is just an ordinary person. ]
[Cai Bing: Who says that the commander of a superhero team must be a superhuman? He just needs to use his brain and sit in a chair to command others to do things, do you understand? ]
[Failed Man: That's true, go to sleep, I have something to do. ]
【Ice cutting: Bye.】
Ke Mingye closed the chat panel and sat quietly on the public wooden chair on the platform, staring at the words on the business card in the moonlight.
After a while, he stood up and walked to the locker, took out the Blue Owl combat uniform from the locker, and removed the "badge"-style voice changer from the collar of the uniform.
Then he walked back to the public bench holding the voice changer, took out his spare mobile phone, opened the address book, entered the mobile phone number on the business card, and dialed the number.
beep……
beep……
beep……
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hello?" A rather warm voice came from the other end of the phone.
Ke Mingye was silent for a moment, raised his hand, put the voice changer badge in his hand close to his mouth, and then spoke in a replaced voice.
"Che Zhengchen?"
"you are?"
"Blue Owl." Ke Mingye said, "I've made up my mind. I will join the Super Hero Association."
He paused and lowered his voice slowly, "But I have one condition. I hope I can keep my identity secret...even from you."
