Chapter 161: Dice Monster Attacks the Super Hero Building (Part )

July 07, afternoon, in the center of Beijing, Hongdeng Business District.

The rows of electronic signs are as densely arranged as poker cards on a table. When the camera moves downward, it sees a modern street shrouded in neon pollution.

The street was noisy with voices, and from time to time one or two exclamations and shouts were heard, as if they had seen something incredible.

At this moment, a figure in red and blue combat uniform was walking out of place in the crowd. He lowered his head to play with his mobile phone while walking casually towards the association building.

Walking down the street in broad daylight in a superhero uniform, not to mention being a hot new hero in every media outlet.

It has only been less than a week since it was unveiled to the media, and the manufacturers haven’t even had time to launch the Blue Owl CosPlay costumes, let alone there will be imitators at this time.

So everyone can judge that the bird walking on the street must be a blue owl. This scene naturally attracted many passers-by to exclaim and stop to watch, as well as the constant clicking of flashlights.

But no one knows what the blue owl is trying to do by appearing so openly in public.

Some people quickly speculated that he was going to join the Super Hero Association; others immediately said that even a fool could see that; one of them laughed and said that they hoped that after joining the association he would not be coerced by capital and become the kind of "idol hero" who only knew how to market and make money but did not do any practical work. There are too many hype tactics like this now.

As a result, that person was quickly drowned in a sea of ​​saliva. After all, Blue Owl had actually solved several crimes, which was completely different from those heroes who made their debut by relying on hype.

However, regardless of what everyone was saying, Blue Owl just walked on the street while checking Weibo, and occasionally waved to the pedestrians stuck in front of him, signaling them to give way, as it would be bad to affect the traffic order.

Soon, he passed through the Hongdeng business district and stepped into the Superhero Association building in the city center. Looking up, the tall building went straight through the sky, with no end in sight.

At this moment, the giant projection screen of the Super Hero Association Building was introducing the new hero group that debuted this week - the "Platinum Wings Team".

However, not many people on Hongdeng Commercial Street looked up at the projection screen, but instead focused their attention on the blue owl standing in front of the building.

Blue Owl shrugged, put his phone into the pocket of his battle suit, walked into the first floor of the Super Hero Building, and showed Che Zhengchen's business card to the front desk staff.

He put one hand on his waist and said, "I'm here to find someone, Che Zhengchen."

The well-trained staff member was obviously accustomed to this kind of situation. He simply nodded calmly, stretched out his arm to the right, and spoke in an emotionless voice.

"Hello, Commander Che Zhengchen has already made an appointment to meet you. Access to the 45th floor of the Association Building has been unlocked for you. Please turn right to the specialist elevator and select a specific floor on the elevator control panel."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hearing this, Blue Owl left his business card at the front desk, turned around and walked to the end of the first floor, and boarded the glass curtain wall elevator. The number on the operating panel was automatically selected for him, and the elevator door slowly closed, and the car went up.

Through the glass curtain wall of the elevator, you can get a glimpse of this cold steel city. Looking down, you can see advertisements of various fashion brands and beauty products on the giant screens of the high-rise buildings.

Not long after, the elevator door opened, revealing a red-carpeted corridor. The first room on the corridor was an office.

The man sitting behind the desk put down the pen in his hand, looked up from the file, smiled and waved at him.

Blue Owl took a look at the other person. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, had a slicked-back hair, had a gentle and elegant temperament, and had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiled. There was no doubt that this was Che Zhengchen.

So I walked into the office.

"Close the door, thank you." Che Zhengchen's voice was gentle, exactly the same as when he was talking on the phone.

Hearing this, Blue Owl closed the door casually, then walked to the desk, pulled a chair and sat down, putting his arms on the desk, like a primary school student sitting upright in class.

Then he tilted his head, and his red and blue beak tilted, "Uh, so what? Are you sure you want to agree to my terms? Then I will appear in front of you wearing this uniform from now on."

"I've thought about it. I will help you enter the Super Hero Association while concealing your identity."

"I think I should say 'thank you' at this time," Blue Owl paused, "but I'm actually more curious, why do you do this?"

"It's simple. You remind me of my son."

"Your son?" "Che Maochen."

Blue Owl raised his eyes from behind the lenses and stared at him in confusion: "Huh? Who is he? You can't possibly trust me unconditionally just because your son and I have similar personalities, right?"

Che Zhengchen nodded slightly and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "My son was killed by the watch man five years ago. His body was cut into 23 pieces and hung on the aerial work platform of the Super Hero Association."

Blue Owl was stunned for a moment: "Gray pigeon?"

Che Zhengchen smiled slightly: "Yes, the superhero Huige is my son."

Upon hearing this, Blue Owl was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses.

He thought, the fact that he could talk about that incident so calmly showed how strong Che Zhengchen's mental strength was, or maybe he had been tortured for five years and had finally gotten over it.

"In these five years, I haven't been able to let it go for even a moment."

At this point, Che Zhengchen pointed to the white hair on his head, still smiling, "So when I saw you, I recalled the night when my son first told me that he wanted to be a superhero."

The blue owl stared at him in silence without responding.

"You are very similar to my son. You have a similar personality and behavior. You both imitated Qing Ya when you debuted. You both proposed to hide your identity from the outside world, and even from the association."

Che Zhengchen lowered his head and spoke softly.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have even suspected that he had come back from underground... and returned to me."

Blue Owl shrugged. "But I'm not your son. I hope you won't let your emotions get the better of you. It's not the style of a commander to let a person like me with unknown origins join the Super Hero Association."

Che Zhengchen was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Have you ever thought that your behavior might be like my son's, and attract watch buyers?"

"Of course. It would be a lie to say I didn't expect it."

"But you still put on this battle suit?"

"Correct."

"That's enough. Just from this point of view, I am willing to trust you."

Che Zhengchen met Blue Owl's gaze and spoke in a firm tone.

"Starting tomorrow, you will be a member of the Super Hero Association. Don't worry about your identity. I will be responsible for solving the problem with the higher-ups. With my qualifications in the Super Hero Association, I will not be unable to protect you."

Blue Owl was stunned for a moment: "Is it that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple." Che Zhengchen smiled. "By the way, I will send you to the Platinum Wings team to compete with them for the position of captain. If you do better, this team may be renamed 'Blue Owl Team...'"

As he was speaking, the lights in the entire office suddenly changed from cold tones to a dangerous and dazzling red.

Che Zhengchen frowned slightly and moved his eyes to the right, only to see that the projector hanging on the wall suddenly started up and projected a picture onto the wall opposite.

On the projected screen, a strange human figure with a gray halo all over its body was clinging to the surface of the Super Hero Building, sticking to the glass curtain wall directly above it through the spider silk shot out from the device on its wrist.

Then it grabbed the tough spider silk, spun in the air and climbed upwards, shooting towards the top of the building at an incredibly fast speed.

At the same time, a deafening warning sounded from the office that was lit red.

“Warning, warning, warning—!”

"A C-class wanted criminal, 'Dice Monster', has been detected invading the Superhero Association Building! A C-class wanted criminal, 'Dice Monster', has been detected invading the Superhero Association Building. All superheroes, please be prepared to fight!"
