Chapter 220 Ghost Shark, Red Giant, Octopus Man x White Wing and Blue Owl

The heavy rain poured down as if God had pulled the strings connecting the sky and the earth. Dark clouds were surging, and thousands of rain lines were pouring down from the clouds and falling onto the earth.

Amid the sound of endless rain, the rain flowed majestically through the streets and alleys.

At this moment, in the Hongge residential area, a bright red and blue figure was running under the gray sky.

"The Tobacco Street is just ahead."

The blue owl raised his eyes and stared ahead, turning on the "safety restriction removal" while thinking, and then a sharp blue light flashed across the corner of his eyes.

As the skill was activated, his muscle explosiveness was comprehensively improved and his running pace became even faster.

Fortunately, it was a rainy day, so there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the street. People in the brightly lit cafes and clothing stores on both sides often looked at him, but no one could see the figure that was moving through the rain like a stream of light. They could only raise their hands and point at the red and blue arc and exclaim.

Suddenly, a roar that pierced the atmosphere came from the sky behind him.

Blue Owl thought the sound sounded familiar, so he stopped, stood still, raised his owl-like helmet, and looked up through the mask.

An Inchuan, wearing the platinum wings combat uniform, was seen flapping his wings and soaring through the wind and rain, like a giant snow-white dove, shining brightly in the dark and gloomy sky.

Bai Yi naturally also noticed the blue owl on the ground, so he slightly folded his wings and swooped down quickly from mid-air. Finally, he flapped his huge wings to ease the momentum of his fall and landed steadily on the ground.

Blue Owl asked, "Didn't you leave three minutes ago? I thought you had already arrived."

"My place is quite far from Tobacco Street." Bai Yi said, "I'll give you a ride. It's faster this way."

Blue Owl nodded. "You came just in time. My legs are sore from running."

As he spoke, White Wing had already grabbed Blue Owl's shoulders from behind and soared into the air like an eagle holding its cub in its talons, carrying him quickly under the dark clouds. The rumbling lightning overhead could be vaguely seen.

"Where are the Sisters and the Vanguard?"

"They're not here, just the two of us,"

Bai Yi flapped his wings rapidly as he spoke, and soon he and Blue Owl were directly above Tobacco Street.

Looking down, we quickly found the place where the incident occurred.

However, they did not see the ghost shark, only the red giant and the octopus man.

The former was just like the image that Blue Owl had seen on TV, less than 1.6 meters tall, wearing a dark red combat uniform, an X-shaped mask, and red hair rising into the sky.

The latter was still wearing the same yellow combat uniform, with a cartoon octopus stuck on his chest, and no mask. His depressed face and messy long hair were exposed to the wind and rain, and his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.

At this moment, the Red Giant and the Octopus Man were standing at the front and back ends of the street respectively, but Blue Owl did not see who they were fighting with. Instead, he could see several corpses lying in a corner of the street.

Each corpse looked horrible, with organs scattered on the ground, and it didn't look like there was any sign of life left. It seemed that the superhero team mentioned in the official APP notification had been completely wiped out before the reinforcements arrived.

Bai Yi looked at this scene with a slightly gloomy expression: "Where is that ghost shark? Did it escape?"

"Be careful, I always feel something is wrong..." Blue Owl said as he activated the B-level skill "Spider Sense".

["Spider Sense" has been activated. Your five senses and nerve reactions have been greatly improved, and you have gained the ability to predict danger. 】

As the system prompt sounded, his vision suddenly became clear and broad, as if he could take in every falling rain line. Even the swirling fallen leaves in the distance could not escape his sight. However, he still could not see what was wrong at the scene.

"Something's wrong. The ghost shark should still be nearby, otherwise why are these two people reacting so strangely?"

Thinking of this, Blue Owl looked at the Red Giant and the Octopus Man, and their panels popped up in his sight.

[Character Code: Red Giant]

[Danger Level: C+]

[Character introduction: A superpower, a rising star superhero, the captain of the "Red Giant Squad", with the ability to summon an "invisible giant". ]

[Character Code: Octopus Man]

[Danger Level: C+]

[Character introduction: A mutant with some octopus characteristics, a rising superhero, and the leader of the "Octopus Squad". His fighting method is to extend six tentacles from his back and use the suction force generated by the suction cups to suck the enemy onto the tentacles. The tentacles are full of toxins, enough to kill an ordinary person more than ten times.]

The blue owl focused on the red giant. It was as if there was an invisible wall behind the dwarf, protecting him from the wind and rain. All the falling rain hit the invisible "wall" and splashed everywhere.

This should be the invisible giant he created with his supernatural powers. Judging from the trajectory of the rain, the giant is about four or five meters tall, almost as tall as a building.

"It seems nothing happened. Let's go down and ask them." As he said that, Bai Yi folded his wings and descended rapidly from mid-air with Blue Owl. His body cut through the rain curtain like a gyroscope.

However, at this moment, the Red Giant and the Octopus Man turned their eyes to them at the same time, with shock in their expressions.

At the same time, Blue Owl's spider sense also sounded. He shuddered, goose bumps appeared all over his body, and a corner of the ground was reflected in his shrinking pupils.

At this moment, a dark dorsal fin was seen tearing through the asphalt road, creating a sharp hole and protruding out from the ground.

This scene was extremely familiar to the Blue Owl, just like the dorsal fins of sharks exposed above the sea in the documentaries he saw in his childhood.

In that fleeting 0.5 second, Blue Owl stared at the dorsal fin and instantly understood why the Red Giant and the Octopus Man had been in a stalemate here for a long time, while the enemy had disappeared.

Because the ghost shark hid underground, the two new star heroes blocked the front and back sides of the street respectively. If the ghost shark wanted to escape from their side, they would definitely pull it out from underground.

The next moment, accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, the earth began to tremble slightly, and the holder of the dorsal fin crawled forward underground, approaching the White Wing who was about to land at an incredibly fast speed.

"Hey, what are you two bastards doing?!" the red giant growled.

"Be careful!" the octopus man growled.

But by the time their voices penetrated the rain, it was too late. In an instant, the ghost shark came to the feet of the white wing who had just landed and broke out of the ground.

At this moment, the blue owl relied on its spider sense to react quickly and flipped away.

But before Bai Yi could react, he was grabbed from behind by the ghost shark that suddenly emerged from the ground. At this time, Blue Owl saw that the other party did not attack Bai Yi immediately, so he roughly understood the situation.

"Ghost Shark didn't kill him right away. He wanted to use White Wing as a hostage to threaten Red Giant and Octopus Man to let him go."

Thinking of this, Blue Owl raised his eyes and stared away.

As the name suggests, the man in front of me looks like a shark, with a mouth full of fangs, a sharp and raised head, blade-like fins on his back, and strange arm blades attached to his arms.

It can be seen that the ghost shark is covered with scars and its clothes are torn. It must have had a fierce battle with the red giant and the octopus man before, and now it is exhausted.

Seeing that the situation was roughly consistent with his guess, Blue Owl breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the panel that popped up above the other party's head.

[Character Code: Ghost Shark]

[Danger level: C++ level]

[Character introduction: A mutant with the characteristics of a shark, but he prefers to move in the soil rather than in the sea. ]

"Let me go, or I will kill this pigeon." Ghost Shark said hoarsely and lowly, and put the arm blade against White Wing's throat.

The Red Giant and the Octopus Man looked at each other, both of them had gloomy faces, and they seemed unwilling to compromise: the criminal who was caught with great difficulty was let go because of White Wing.

But there was nothing they could do about it. Just as they were about to speak, their thoughts were interrupted by Bai Yi's words.

"Pigeon?" White Wing said, "Well, I must remind you that I am actually a bird, not a pigeon."

"Shut up... stupid bird."

Blue Owl said as he met White Wing's eyes.

The former had a calm expression, while the latter slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and the two reached a consensus in their hearts.

The next moment, Blue Owl lowered its body slightly, released phase transfer, exchanged positions with the ghost shark, and appeared behind White Wing.

At the same time, as expected, Bai Yi instantly spread his pair of huge snow-white wings and shot feathers like a storm towards the ghost shark standing not far away on the opposite side.

"Uhhhhhhhh-!"

The ghost shark was caught off guard, and in an instant, thousands of cracks appeared on its body, adding to the injuries and causing blood to spurt out.

While White Wing was suppressing the ghost shark with his feathers, Blue Owl took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the ghost shark from the side, releasing a solar punch. The fist with flames evaporated into a dripping rain curtain, and the hot white air smashed into his body. Bang!
There was a loud bang, and a big hole was blasted in the ghost shark's neck by the flaming fist.

It opened its bloody and sharp mouth, unable to utter a word, and fell to the ground with a blank look in its eyes, splashing water.

[You have killed a C-level superhuman. Your C-level superhuman killing milestone has been refreshed. 】

Oh, classic Blue Owl style gorgeous last hit.

Blue Owl waved his painful fist, thinking that mutants' bodies were just so hard that even weak parts like the neck were as hard as a piece of iron.

If he had not been severely injured by the Red Giant and the Octopus Man beforehand, he would not be a match for this Shark Man.

Seeing this, both the Red Giant and the Octopus Man breathed a sigh of relief.

The Red Giant lowered his face, uttered a gloomy "tsk", and then ordered the invisible giant standing behind him to disappear.

The dwarf hero crossed his arms and stared coldly at the silhouette of the blue owl: "That owl boy..."

At this time, the octopus man moved over.

He stood in front of Blue Owl and White Wing, staring at the ghost shark on the ground with his eyes downcast, in silence.

“It was a close call.”

Bai Yi folded his wings, confirmed that the ghost shark had lost its life, then turned to the octopus man and said with a smile.

The octopus man took a deep breath, raised his eyes from the ghost shark's body, and stared at White Wing.

He said calmly: "To be honest, this mission is very dangerous. You should have known your own mistakes after seeing the notice and not interfere. Ghost Shark had no way out, but your arrival gave him a chance."

"Hey, man, can you stop being so old-fashioned? The result is good anyway, right?" Blue Owl spread his hands.

"But the process was wrong. If you hadn't come, the already dying Ghost Shark would have had no chance to turn the situation around." The octopus man said, "Also, if the Ghost Shark chose to kill White Wing the moment it caught him instead of taking him hostage, would you have been able to react?"

He paused and said, "Blue Owl, I've seen your actual combat video. Your reaction and skills are not that fast. You are no match for Ghost Shark. He could have broken White Wing's neck before you rescued him..."

"Brother, aren't you going too far?" Blue Owl remained unmoved and teased, "We're going to play a 'friendly match' in a few days. It won't be good if the 'friendship' is gone."

The octopus man was silent for a while and then continued.

"You know what, what I despise the most are those heroes who obviously have no ability but have a lot of fans and popularity. They are not worthy of their positions.

"It is precisely because of the existence of these so-called 'heroes' who are seeking to attract attention that the unknown heroes who really deserve the attention of the people are buried. In such a deformed and cruel era, the rewards they get for their desperate struggles may not be as high as those clowns who only have traffic but no popularity."

Hearing this, Blue Owl was about to speak, but the Octopus Man interrupted him:

"Whether you admit it or not, this is the truth. To put it bluntly, I asked you to play this open 'friendly match' just to take away the attention that doesn't belong to you, to let everyone recognize your strength, and to leave the attention on you to those who really deserve it. I thought you would refuse, but you accepted..."

The octopus man paused for a moment and said, "Now that we've come to this point, I'll tell you the truth: I hate your frivolous and playful ways. I think you're nothing more than an actor or an idol from the old days, and you don't deserve the title of 'hero'. Heroes are not those who talk nonsense, but those who actually do real things."

"Uh...are you sure I'm not doing anything real?"

Blue Owl put one hand on his waist, pointed at the ghost shark on the ground, and then pointed at the big hole in the ghost shark's neck.

The octopus man was silent for a while, then he said:

"It seems that you still don't know yourself. This is just taking advantage of the situation. It has long been trapped. We can solve it even if you don't come. Your arrival only adds unnecessary risks and twists."

He paused. "Is being eye-catching... so important to you?"

"Come on, are you talking nonsense because you are so angry, buddy?" Blue Owl sighed. "Do I have to risk my life to support you in order to attract attention? I know our arrival disrupted your work, but that was based on the fact that we were a step late and did not have enough information. Besides, since the final result is good, there is no need to talk about it to this extent. Let's leave a way out for ourselves, right?"

"Let me make it clear that all my words are based on rational thinking." The octopus man said, "In my opinion, you are just a clown who took advantage of the negative popularity of the Blue Crow and was praised by people to a position that does not belong to you."

"Then you're finished." Blue Owl said this out of the blue.

"What do you mean?" The octopus man frowned.

"Because the friendly match in a month will end our friendship."

Blue Owl made a joke, then shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at the cheering passers-by on Tobacco Street, the flash lights that kept flashing in the rain, and the cameras that were pointed at the two of them one after another.

The octopus man followed his gaze.

Seeing this, Blue Owl lowered his voice and continued, "Look, your big talk has been heard by the people you mentioned. I believe the next game will attract a lot of attention. Let's see who is the grandstanding and unworthy actor you mentioned, and who is the hero you mentioned who is capable and does practical things."

He sighed and shook his head. "I came all the way here to save people, but you gave me a lecture. You said I was frivolous and full of nonsense. Then who said that only people like you who talk nonsense can be considered heroes?"

At this point, Blue Owl made another sarcastic remark.

"Or do you think that by speaking a lot of great truths and putting yourself in a high moral position, you can look more great and attract more attention from people, right?"

Hearing this, the octopus man's lazy expression darkened slightly.

He took a deep breath of cold air, and the rain wet his long hair. "Then do you admit that what I said is right? This is a deformed era."

Blue Owl said, "Of course, I've said it before. Heroes like Blue Crow who work silently are cursed by people, while some flashy people are in high positions in public opinion. If this is not abnormal, what else is abnormal?"

"Qing Ya is wrong. His behavior has gone beyond the scope of a hero. He is just a thug." The octopus said word by word, "And you are using the reputation of a thug to attract attention. You are even more of a despicable villain."

Fuck it, what did I do to you by borrowing my dad's popularity? If you keep on whining, I'll have some weirdo hang you on the Beijing Ring Tower tonight...

The blue owl thought so, but he remained honest in his words. After all, he had to pay attention to his public image in front of people.

"Oh, now the case is solved." He said, "You hate everyone: you hate Qing Ya, I admire Qing Ya, so you want to sentence me and him to death?"

The octopus man remained silent and did not refute.

He turned his head to look at the growing crowd around him, without saying anything, he just walked away silently.

"I hope you won't be afraid of the game in a month."

After saying the last sentence, the octopus man walked away in an unnoticed corner, and all the flash lights were on the blue owl.

At this time, the red giant also looked at the blue owl and said with a dark face.

"have a finger in the pie."

After saying that, he walked away without looking back.

Bai Yi was stunned for two seconds, then leaned close to Blue Owl's ear and said belatedly, "Uh, these people are really something. Is it necessary to make the atmosphere so tense?"

"Okay, okay, now we've messed with two of the new generation's signature heroes at once." Blue Owl said, patting White Wing on the shoulder. "You're worthy of me, Comrade White Wing. If you hadn't sent me a text message to remind me, I would have been sleeping in at home right now and would never have gotten involved in this matter."

"Who are you kidding? Even if I don't send you a text message, you will definitely come." Bai Yi was sure.

"But isn't this just 'meddling' in other people's eyes?" Blue Owl laughed at himself.

Bai Yi raised his hand and slapped away Blue Owl's bloody hand, shrugged his bloodstained shoulders, and said, "Who cares? The purpose of a hero's existence is to 'mind other people's business.'"

He paused, turned his head to look at the flash lights all around, and said with a dry laugh: "But this is a big problem. If we lose the game in a month, we will lose face."

"Isn't this the effect he wants?" Blue Owl said, "To strike down a showman like me who is just trying to attract attention."

"Come on, do you really take his words to heart?" Bai Yi said, "I think he was just angry. He thinks we stole their credit."

"I feel so too."

Blue Owl played with his phone, glanced at the WeChat message, and replied casually.

[Bai Zini: You are invincible. You said you were going to buy a cassette but ended up fighting criminals. Just wait and see whether I will pay attention to you for the next month! (Excited cat emoji)]

"Let's go, that game in a month will surprise them."

After Bai Yi finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Blue Owl's shoulder, then spread his white wings in the rain, shot into the sky with a violent storm, and disappeared from the crowd's sight.
