Chapter 74 "Strange Thing" VS Blue Crow
On the night of June 6, in the steel jungle surrounded by high-rise buildings in the center of Beijing, electronic signs were densely arranged like a deck of poker cards spread out on a table.

Every giant screen in the square was broadcasting the same picture at this moment: a gray monster squatting on a traffic light sign with a deep pit beneath him.

A bloody figure was lying in the pit. It was the villain he had just defeated, the "Ghost Horse Man".

The world fell into silence for a short time, and then every citizen pointed at the figure squatting on the light board and began the classic post-war cheering.

It was still the indispensable three scenes in superhero movies: someone kneeled down and cried, someone clapped, someone screamed and cheered, and then a little kid pointed his finger at him and shouted: "Mom, it's a superhero, we've been saved!"

The trickster doll scratched his cheek and thought that his buddy's handsome photo was still on the wanted list of Super Hero's official website, but since you want to do this, then go ahead.

"What a weird-looking superhero, why can't I see it on the official website?"

"Why is it wearing a stewardess' uniform?"

"It's mixed up with the Blue Crow. It looks like it's not a good superhero. Is that weird?"

"Blue crow?"

When the trickster puppet heard the name, he realized something was wrong. At this moment, a hoarse and gloomy voice sounded in his ears, as if his brain was vibrating.

"You seem to be having a lot of fun."

That voice said so.

The puppet suddenly turned its head and looked at Qing Ya who was also standing above the traffic light sign. Some children in the crowd started crying when they saw him, as if they had seen a nightmare that kept them from sleeping.

Ever since Qing Ya made his debut and became a model worker of the Super Hero Association's Beijing branch, the sleep quality of every child in this city has been declining sharply. People often dream of a huge crow with bared fangs and claws swooping down on them and gnawing at their flesh and blood.

This is the impression that Ke Youqing left on people. While his extremely violent means prevented most crimes, they also earned him a position of being scorned and criticized by the public.

At this moment, Ke Mingye was sitting on the sofa drinking Coke and watching Bai Ziling and Bai Zini playing "It Takes Two".

When he turned his head and saw Qing Ya's face, he felt as terrified as when he looked back and saw a female ghost in a horror movie jumping on his face and screaming loudly. His right hand trembled, and the Coke bottle tilted, spilling the drink on the elementary school student's shoulder.

"Fuck, are you sick?!"

Ke Yongzhu was stunned at first, then jumped up and down, quickly stood up, patted his clothes, and asked Ke Mingye with a dark face.

"It's okay. You're going to take a shower soon anyway."

Ke Mingye had cold sweat on his back. After saying a few perfunctory words, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted Ke Yongzhu's wet shoulder.

When he watched live broadcasts on the dark web before, he used to sneer at those peepers and villains. Every time he saw Qing Ya’s reaction, it was too damn exaggerated. It was as if he was afraid of being eaten... As a result, after experiencing it himself, he realized what it meant that people who had not experienced it could not empathize with others.

It's no different than being kicked off a cliff from behind while bungee jumping before you even have your safety gear strapped on.

Not being scared to death is a sign of good mental quality.

At this moment, the puppet raised a non-existent eyebrow, slowly stood up from the traffic light board, took off the train cap and saluted him.

"Isn't this Mr. Qing Ya? I'm sorry, I didn't even realize you were here."

"Don't salute me, you are a wanted criminal." said Qing Ya.

"Yes." The puppet put on the conductor's hat again. "But I just killed a criminal with the same wanted level as me. This should make up for my crime. After all, my crime is just arson on the viaduct and blowing up a traffic light pole. As for the false charge of causing a large-scale streaking incident, I think I will never admit it even if I die..."

It paused and said, "Mr. Blue Crow, don't look at me as a villain. In fact, I have a heart to become a superhero."

"Do you really think that you can kill him by yourself with your strength?" Qing Ya asked.

The puppet pointed at the bloody corpse in the pit and turned to look at Qing Ya: "What else? Its body is already cold, are you still questioning me?"

"While you pinned him down in the pit, I shot him a shot of inhibitor into his body, rendering his 'ghost body' ineffective." Green Crow said slowly, "Otherwise you would soon discover that Ghost Horseman not only escaped the explosion, but also escaped from your spider web."

The puppet suddenly realized something, lowered the brim of its hat, and talked to itself.

"I see...I was wondering if this super villain has a move that makes his body untouchable, why hasn't he used it when he's about to die?"

"It can't be called a super villain. It's just an insignificant character like you."

The blue crow looked down at the corpse on the ground, sneerfully. "Okay, okay, an insignificant person." The puppet spread his hands, "Let's get back to the point. Even if I didn't kill him on my own, I at least helped you solve the problem. Don't you think that's enough to make up for it?"

"You are a wanted criminal. These matters need to be considered at the police station."

"What if I don't?"

As the trickster puppet spoke, it kicked off the top of the traffic light sign and leaped above the street. At the same time, it lowered its right hand and shot a spider silk towards a screen embedded in the surface of a tall building.

But in the next moment, before it could react to what was happening, its body was grabbed by a black shadow that swept past, and then it was shot towards the surface of a tall building, climbing up along the glass curtain wall, and finally arrived above the city.

Under this series of unstoppable attacks, the glass of the entire curtain wall shattered one after another, pouring onto the street like a rainstorm, causing the people below to scream in fear.

The blue crow stayed in mid-air, and pitch-black crows kept flying out from his cloak, as if these crows were holding up his body and floating in the sky.

Surrounded by a flock of crows, he grabbed the puppet's neck and smashed its head into a display screen used to promote movies, instantly creating a dent in the giant screen.

Bang!
Inside the giant screen were tangled wires, and the splashing electric light ravaged the puppet's face, almost tearing its brain apart.

Seeing this scene, screams were heard from the bottom of the city. For a moment, the whole block was filled with discussions. The vehicles that were rolling on the road stopped one after another. Everyone leaned out of the car window and looked up at this weird scene:
——Qingya pressed the superhero who had just saved the Beijing Ring Bridge into the LED display screen.

It was like electrocuting it.

"Be honest and don't even think about running away. Even if there are ten thousand of you, you can't escape from my grasp."

Qing Ya whispered hoarsely, his eyes behind the mask flashing with violence. With every word he spoke, the hand holding the puppet's neck tightened a little, as if he would crush its neck in the next second.

"Ahem... ahem, man, are you considered a superhero?"

The puppet's face was distorted, but the corners of its mouth were still raised high.

"You should really look at the eyes of those people below, look at their slightly open mouths. They clearly want to resist you, clearly want to yell at you, but they can't say a word, they just stand there. Do you know why?"

It paused, leaned close to the blue crow's ear, and said almost word by word: "Because they are afraid of you..."

"So," Qing Ya lowered his face and asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"

"So?" The puppet stared into the eyes behind the Green Crow mask and laughed crazily, "So in their eyes, I am the hero, and you... can't be called a hero at all, you are just a thug."

"I don't care if I'm a hero in anyone's eyes, I just care if what I do is right."

The blue crow looked straight at him and spoke coldly, its pitch-black cloak fluttering in the night sky.

He held the puppet in his right hand, and, supported by countless crows, shot up into the sky like a black tide, disappearing in the eyes of thousands of camera lenses in an instant.

"What a shame. I probably won't be accompanying you back to the police station, Mr. Green Crow."

The puppet watched itself getting farther and farther away from the ground and sighed softly: "You are really annoying, like a bull with uncivilized intelligence. Perhaps those so-called super villains are more reasonable than you."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body quickly heated up and cracked in the darkness. Cracks filled with violent light spread across his surface and finally extended to his face.

The blue crow noticed this and stopped in mid-air, no longer rising.

"No one will remember you as a tyrant... No one."

After saying something in a gloomy tone, the puppet's body completely exploded. The blue crow released its neck and disappeared at the same time.

After a while, a fierce beam of fire rose in the sky above the center of Beijing, illuminating the dark night like fireworks, causing the people on the street to point to the sky and cheer.

"Why are there fireworks tonight?"

“It’s fireworks!”

"What beautiful fireworks!"

But the next moment, a strange laugh sounded in the sky, covering everyone's ears like an electronic broadcast.

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
