What is a super villain?

Chapter 167 The Righteous Partner

There is a slight drizzle in Rose City, and a heavy lead cloud is pressing on the city again. The light is very dark. The neon signs and gradient light strips on Gocho Street extend along the eaves of the houses, illuminating the water on the street under the rain.

The crowd is messy.

The dancers with coquettish makeup gathered together, their faces were frightened and trembling, and their eyes glanced at the dim sign in front of them with the lights turned off, 'Blooming Lilies' from time to time.

This is the most famous stripper club on Utacho Street, where dancing girls from all over the city gather, and there is an endless stream of customers.

Her mother, Sang Yuriko, is also considered to be a prominent figure in the Jianghu. She has dozens of strong thugs under her command. When she was young, she was a Yakuza and had a whole body prosthetic transformation. Many parts are military versions, and her strength is not bad.

Such a legendary figure who has been struggling in the Rose City for more than ten years, is now kneeling in the muddy water with his hands behind his back, looking at the club signboard she built.

Yuriko roared hysterically, her voice sharp.

"You have no right to damage the legal property of a legal citizen! You have no power to enforce the law! You are provoking the Rose City Police Department!"

In front of Baihezi, Lu Nansheng held a metal lighter, and the veterans of the Nightcrawler Welfare Institute sprinkled fuel inside and outside the strip club.

After Wood nodded, Lu Nansheng threw the lighter out.

The raging flames surged against the rain curtain, vying to be the first to spread.

Soon thick smoke billowed, and a touch of conspicuous orange red appeared under the black sky.

The flames were reflected on the raindrops on Lu Nansheng's face, she turned around to look at Lily, and paused every word:
"No, I have."

"If you are not convinced, you can report to the gentlemen of the city hall that I have abused violence and violated other people's property, and let the police department arrest me. But before you do that, you will be sentenced to lifelong forced labor. Atonement, unto death."

"Your body will be sold after death, and the money will compensate the families broken by your greed."

Lily's graceful face is full of ferocity:

"Who do you think you are! A hero? Why do you judge me! Say these high-sounding words."

"I've already introduced you, Yuriko. My name is Luna, and I'm a cyberpunk from Nightcrawler." Lu Nansheng looked at her calmly.

The next moment, Major Wood stepped forward, inserted the special chip into the external interface of Yuriko's side neck, and then locked a ticking metal shackle on her ankle.

A sharp needle protruded from the shackles, punctured the blood vessels of Lily's skin, and injected the nano-neural robot into its blood circulation.

"The 'hundred ghosts' are already crawling inside you, and any violation will trigger them. Usually they won't kill you, but trust me, you don't want that pain."

Wood said in a low voice.

"Someone will stop you, you broke the rules!" Yuriko was full of resentment, "Cyberpunk, you are dead."

"Be honest, scum."

Wood elbowed Yuriko, causing her to retch.

He detained Lily and nodded to Lu Nansheng.

Lu Nansheng couldn't see the sadness and joy, turned around, faced the panicked club dancers, stepped forward and shouted loudly:
"You are free!"

"From now on, no one will force you! Go home! Don't be a sex doll or someone else's plaything!"

"If you run into trouble, you can find me on Wildfire Street! My name is Luna, and I'm a member of the Nightcrawler!"

After finishing speaking, the magic entropy contract that Yuriko used to enslave these dancers was thrown into the sky.

After a burst of gunshots, it turned into debris and drifted away with the drizzle.

Many dancers covered their mouths in disbelief, and all of them exploded in an instant, the sound of rain was drowned out by the discussion and noise.

Lu Nansheng didn't look at their expressions any more, just turned around, put his hands in his pockets and left silently.

She let the unclean rain fall on her face and looked up at the sky.

Obviously, at the beginning, it was just a simple debt collection job, how did it turn out like this in the end?

I found the drunk at the Big Bird Bar. His wife voluntarily sold her body and soul to Yuriko on Omoring Street for him, and even kidnapped her underage daughter.

When Lu Nansheng found them, they were already dying and out of human form.

Taking this as an opportunity, Lu Nansheng discovered the evil hidden behind the strip club.

Kidnapping and trafficking, coercion, abduction and coercion... All the girls are sex puppets, even young girls and boys, to satisfy the perverted preferences of some perverted customers.

In a rage, Lu Nansheng destroyed the club.

She single-handedly rushed in through the main entrance, knocked down all the bodyguards and accomplices, and found Lily.

After another hard fight, he defeated this street legend with impressive fighting power and sentenced her to a crime.

Lu Nansheng touched his side waist, there was still a dull pain there.

You don't need to look to know that there must be a lot of bruises under the armor of the close-fitting mecha.

During the battle, Yuriko's thermal katana slashed here fiercely, and the mecha soldiers blocked the slow release of a large amount of damage, but still failed to prevent Lu Nansheng from being injured.

From her unique perspective, the green blood bar floating in the upper left corner is missing a bit, and there is also a [Internal Bleeding] Debuff prompt.

The 'key' given by Skaine helped her a lot. This strange, game-like interface can remind the enemy of the direction and time of the attack during the battle, and see through the enemy's state.

Otherwise, she might not be Yuriko's opponent a year ago.

From the point of view of formalities and procedures, Yuriko is a legitimate businessman, and all operations are legal and reasonable. Every dancer in the club comes to work here out of "voluntary".

If the rigid letter of the law were followed, such people would never be brought to trial, and would simply get better and better as their exploitation deepened.

Under the legal framework established by the Interstellar Development Alliance, she is the offender.

But Lu Nansheng didn't care.

The municipal department's enforcement of the lower urban area is weak, and it basically doesn't care.

Here, legal principles are just empty words, and big fists are the last word.

Baihezi said that Lu Nansheng had no right to judge her, but when Lu Nansheng said that she defeated her, the power was already in her hands.

In the last year or so, she has designed combat prosthetic bodies to help veterans rearm and act as vigilantes and law enforcement officers; The "instrument of torture" for the wicked to "serve their sentence".

Every villain and their minions will serve their sentence in the Nightcrawler Welfare Institute according to their crimes, and play their remaining heat.

Of course Lu Nansheng knew that Baihezi was right.

She is not a law enforcer and has no law enforcement or judicial power.

But when justice comes too late, someone must stand up and uphold justice first.

The justice of Rose City is only order and justice, never justice and justice.

She wants to be a partner of justice.

If justice and order conflict, then she will be an opponent of order, a villain.

Lu Nansheng only hopes that before she is pushed to the gallows in the future, she can convey her dream to more people, help more people, and unite the oppressed.

……

When we were almost back on Wildfire Street, the rain stopped.

Wood called to inform Yuriko and her thugs of the handling arrangements.

After confirming that it was correct, he took the initiative to mention:
"Luna, this is the sixth time that we have gone too far this month. The RCPD of the Police Department has been watching us and has given us a warning."

Lu Nansheng asked: "Warning? What is the warning? Will you use lynching or forced slavery?"

Wood replied: "Neither, RCPD warned us not to continue to destroy city public facilities and create fire hazards, those are public property of Rose City."

Lu Nansheng couldn't help but laugh.

As she had seen, the city department didn't care about the lives of the people in the lower city at all, only how much money they could make.

Giant companies make up the sky of this planet, and municipal officials are only second-class people in front of giant companies, and there is no essential difference from the vast mules and horses kneeling in the lower city.

When the differences caused by capital are too large, the top and bottom layers have actually become two species, and only genes, appearance and language are still interlinked.

"Understood, don't bother with the municipal people."

Lu Nansheng replied in the communication, and paused for a moment to ask:
"How is the preparation for the Nightcrawler Welfare Institute on Wildfire Street?"

"It has reached the final stage. With the experience of the Scavengers Street Welfare Institute, we will avoid a lot of detours in the early stage. The suppliers of daily necessities are already old acquaintances, and the order contract has been signed."

Wood immediately replied:

"I've sold the abandoned clinic you mentioned. The land price is very cheap, and the progress is going well."

Lu Nansheng smiled and said in a relaxed tone:
"Then Major, the second orphanage for Nightcrawler will be handed over to you."

"Flattered, I'll do my best to manage it."

Both were laughing on the comm.

After a while, Wood suddenly raised his head and said:
"Can I ask why you must open an orphanage, Luna."

Lu Nansheng was surprised: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Wood looked sincere and slightly serious:
"I have always had this question... You never said your origin and origin, but I have been an assistant in the Nightcrawler for so long, and I can feel that your conversation, accomplishment, knowledge, and talent are all incompatible with the lower city, There are very few people like you downtown."

He hesitated for a moment,
"You are from a giant company, right? When we met for the first time in the mental hospital, the deputy dean would actually accompany you on a tour in person. People in the lower city can't do this kind of thing. People from giant companies, why would you Do so much for ordinary people?"

Lu Nansheng didn't think about how to reply for a while after listening.

After being silent for about half a minute, she finally answered slowly:

"No reason... If you want to know the reason, just think of me as a madman who wants to be a hero and wants to be crazy."

Wood on the other end of the communication was stunned.

Lu Nansheng smiled, said hello and hung up the communication.

She understands that the reason is just a joke, and it is absolutely impossible to accurately describe all the thoughts in her heart.

There is no reason to help others, if you want to do it, you will do it naturally.

At the same time, she understands that it is definitely not due to her alone that the new Nightcrawler has made it to where she is today. Someone has helped her a lot behind the scenes.

Lu Nansheng stopped and looked at the high-speed public elevator connecting the upper and lower urban areas not far away. Looking up from here, the upper urban area looks like a palace in the sky floating in the clouds.

Is that person really as good a person as she thinks?

Or is it because he likes himself that all he has given so far?
Lu Nansheng clutched the corner of her clothes, and suddenly recalled the absurd confession in the whole city at that time.

She used to be full of shame and upset, but now these emotions and memories have become a heavy burden in her heart.

Because no matter what, that person has been helping her.

Whether based on justice or love, Lu Nansheng owed him a favor.

Soon, her gaze became firm again, and she strode forward.

Lu Nansheng is now unable to respond to this love, she can only sincerely wish that person can meet a better person and find true happiness.

She stepped into the familiar Wildfire Street and blended into the street.

Like rainwater melting into the sea and disappearing into the crowd.
