What is a super villain?

Chapter 212 Exchange Conditions
"It's over? No, no, it's not over yet, and even the interesting part has just begun."

"The meaning of a hero is not how he ascended to the position of a hero, but how he fell. People yearn for a hero to stand up when they are suffering. The essence is a naive fantasy of wanting to get something for nothing."

"I can't save myself, sink into the quagmire, and pin my hopes on other people."

"What can you get in exchange for a moment of gratitude? Trust, surrender, order or the future? It can only be exchanged for a false sense of satisfaction."

The male voice chuckled during the call on the personal terminal.

"That's why I say, the fun is just beginning."

"Think about what a hero is like in legends and stories. Selfless, risky, noble, and holy, they can't make appeals and can't be stained. What they want is not a hero at all, but a slave who has the title of 'hero' and helps to clear away obstructions."

"Which hero dares to make a request will soon be deprived of the title of hero and criticized verbally."

"There are even more people who scolded the devil than before, as if they did something outrageous and unreasonable."

On the other end of the call on the personal terminal, there was a breathtaking lazy female voice.

The female voice smiled softly, like the sound of a clear spring, showing its charm.

"So Boss Fu's game is to make the poor innocent little girl a hero, and then destroy it with his own hands? Raise my lovely little sister, and train my innocent childhood sweetheart... Oh, what a fun game!"

"It won't be me who destroys her."

Fu Xi put his hands into a tower shape and sat in the special office of the Executive Department of the Rebirth Tower.

Outside the window are the same tall skyscrapers. Under the clouds, pedestrians on the street are like tiny ants.

"In fact, my arrangement has come to an end here. What happens next has nothing to do with me. What I said just now is just a reverie in my mind. Miss Maggie just listens to it as nonsense."

"Giggle cluck."

On the other end of the communication, Maggie couldn't help laughing again.

"The most interesting part of Boss Fu's reverie is that you didn't arrange anything, but the story will develop as you described? What will happen next? The hero will fall, the ideal will collapse, and the heart will be ashes..."

"That's not what Miss Maggie should care about."

The sharpness in Fu Xi's eyes flashed, and his tone became cold.

"I want to know how your progress is going. The Co-Creation Society is almost falling apart. Don't tell me that you haven't found any clues in such a situation full of loopholes."

Maggie was not afraid to tease:

"Didn't Boss Fu wait for Gongchuang Society to deliver the person you are looking for in person?"

Fu Xi glanced at the projection screen suspended a few meters in front of his eyes, and said:
"The second call letter of Gongchuang Society has been sent to me. I will explain the conditions to the person... But Miss Maggie should understand what I mean. You are the second insurance."

"Then is there a third insurance?"

Maggie asked meaningfully.

Before Fu Xi could answer, she immediately took the initiative to speak again:

"Don't worry, Boss Fu trusts me so much, I won't let Boss Fu down."

"That's the best."

Fu Xi heard the sound of curtains being drawn and the rustling of clothes being taken off from the other end of the phone.

"That's it, I'm going to take a shower now."

"Or, Boss Fu wants to turn it into a video to verify whether he is lying?"

beep!

Fu Xi hung up the communication.

In front of the desk are the news reports of the Rose City media, the analysis reports of the agents of the Rebirth Military Executive Department, and the evaluations of Tilu who has been to the scene in person.

By chance and coincidence, Lu Nansheng's progress was faster than expected.

This is not a bad thing for Fu Xi, it's just that such a big movement will always attract the attention of the real owners of the city.

There are some shadows of Lu Ye's promotion behind the matter. It seems that the director who almost became his father-in-law intends to take this opportunity to let Lu Nansheng see the reality clearly and give up her stupid ideals.

Behind the grand scene is a precarious moat.

clang clang!

Someone knocked on the glass door of the office, and then the glass door automatically swung open to the side.

It was Fu Hongying. She was wearing a workplace OL attire, and she walked in unceremoniously.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, sister, how are you doing at home?"

Fu Xi turned off all the projection screens before looking at Fu Hongying.

"not good."

Fu Hongying spoke concisely, and sat across from Fu Xi with her hands folded.

"The old man doesn't see me at all, and he looks like a marginalized person after staying at home for a few days, and the progress of the company's digital life plan is really..."

She couldn't seem to find an accurate description for a while,
"Amazing? Or deviant? Anyway, sooner or later something will happen!"

After talking about a bunch of boring things, Fu Hongying suddenly remembered something serious, and came over mysteriously:
"The things in the lower city are settled?"

Fu Xi raised his eyes to look at her, and said helplessly:

"If you are so curious, you might as well move back home."

"No, I must persuade the old man to give up the digital life plan."

Fu Hongying waved her hands, but still couldn't hold back: "Listen to what Chuyue said, you got another student girl to come to your house, and you still detain Play?"

Fu Xi: ...

Chuyue, do you know that you will be spanked for talking nonsense?
"No such thing."

Fu Xi waved his hand: "I caught a person related to Lingguang Tianneng, and I haven't had time to interrogate him... By the way, why do you care about this?"

Fu Hongying scratched her head in embarrassment, and said embarrassingly:
"I heard that she is the second-ranked god in 'Oasis Vision', even more powerful than Chuyue. Let me ask if you can play games with me."

Then Fu Hongying was thrown out of the office by Fu Xi.

Standing outside the door, Fu Hongying squinted her eyes contentedly seeing her younger brother looking a little distraught.

Only by being with her family can she feel the proof that she is 'alive'.

This emotion maintained her stability and made Fu Hongying firm in her belief.

Her smile faded slowly,

Rebirth for military use... Or what Fu Daoyi is researching is no longer a narrowly defined 'digital life plan', and it cannot continue like this.

Otherwise, her beloved family members will be in danger.

……

Click, click, click.

The flame swayed from side to side on the lighter, and the cigarette was right in front of my eyes, but I couldn't get close.

Carl watched from the side, then reached for the lighter and helped Masato Yaguchi light the cigarette.

At this moment, they are on a floating car, driving in the most prosperous flower stamen area in Rose City.

Masato Yaguchi's injury has not healed yet. Giving limbs is a mature technology in this era, but sublimators have higher requirements for new limbs than ordinary people, and there will be rejection reactions.The current situation is quite normal.

Today, the co-creation society is precarious, Ji Dingjiang is dead, and Masato Yaguchi is the new president.

"Next I'm going to meet a big man."

Masato Yaguchi bit his cigarette butt and said:

"The incident at the factory was a complete mess, and people on the street gathered again, unfurling banners and slogans. Gongchuang Society was a victim, but it also indirectly gave birth to this street force, so we need to apologize."

"My elder brother Ji Dingjiang is dead, he will take full responsibility, but the dead can't be a scapegoat, this blame can only be borne by me."

He exhaled the smoke ring, and looked at Carl who was driving through the rearview mirror in the front of the floating car.

"Do you know why I told you this?"

"……gentlemen?"

Carl pretended not to know and shouted.

Masato Yaguchi said: "Because I regard you as a confidant! No...successor! After the matter is over, I will make you the head of the co-creation society, and the next president will be the assistant."

It's unbelievable, but Karl still put on a flattered look:

"Thank you, sir!"

"You deserve it." Masato Yaguchi extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray: "So tell me Carl, what do you want to get by joining the co-creation society?"

Before Karl could speak, Yaguchi Masato interrupted him:

"Money, fame, status... There is no need to talk about these, I want to hear the real reason, the part you think in your heart."

Carl's thoughts changed sharply, not knowing the purpose of Masato Yaguchi's question.

Maybe it was the two "life-saving grace" that really captured his trust, or he was still trying.

But for Carl, this is an opportunity.

He improvised to save Masato Yaguchi in the factory because of this opportunity.

"Actually, sir, I want to find someone."

After thinking about it, Carl told the story he had made up a long time ago.

"I used to be a templar of the Royal Shadow Guard of the Sirbatunath Empire in the northern part of the Eastern Continent...the imperial family has the support of Liberty City."

It is better to fabricate the origin of an obscure feudal magic empire than to directly say that it is from Liberty City.

"My comrade-in-arms and I were betrayed during a mission, and only three of them survived. Afterwards, I tracked down all the way and found that the traitor was one of my teammates. His name was Artanis, and he fled to Rose City. His alias was Luo Yongkang. I always wanted to find him and avenge my comrades-in-arms!"

"Joining the Co-creation Society is to gain fame and status, and to have more power to find him."

The story is simple and there are no loopholes.

What he said was wrong, Karl's intuition told him that Masato Yaguchi might not know the true identity of Luo Yongkang, the target that even Midgar Haiye wanted to pursue secretly.

He always trusts his instincts.

"Hmph...hahahahaha!"

Masato Yaguchi laughed: "I appreciate your honesty!"

At this moment, the floating car has stopped far away from the iconic rebirth tower used by the rebirth military, and the door of the car pops open automatically.

Before Masato Yaguchi got out of the car, a frenzied light flashed in his eyes:

"I have a mission for you, Karl."

"Many of our people in the factory were taken away by the mud legs in the lower city. Some of them knew many secrets and industries of the Gongchuang Society."

"Those mobs will not let it go. The other industries of the Co-Creation Society will be their next target to destroy. We can't tolerate these things happening, can we?"

He patted Carl on the shoulder and smiled kindly, but it was ugly.

"The Luo Yongkang you are looking for, I will let someone help you find him, and he will appear in front of you after you solve the traitors who exposed the secrets of the association in the lower city... How about it? What is the exchange condition?"

Carl's heart sank.

Masato Yaguchi wanted him to kill the captured captives, silence!
In fact, this is not a problem. The problem is that his intuition tells him that Masato Yaguchi is not worthy of trust!

Seeing that there was no movement, Masato Yaguchi squeezed Carl's shoulder slightly harder.

"Carl?"

Without hesitation, Karl turned his head:
"I'm distracted, sir. Of course, I'll do my best to deal with the traitors of the Society."

"very good!"

Masato Yaguchi stepped out of the floating vehicle and straightened his collar.

"I'm waiting for your good news, go, Karl."

Karl drove away in the floating car, and the smile on Yaguchi's face faded away, leaving only shadows.

He quickly calmed down, changed into flattery and flattery, and walked towards the entrance of the Rebirth Tower.
