Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1115 People live to feel at ease
"There is no free food in this world, Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka."

Luther shook his head.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned. Yes, she knew in her heart that no matter in which world, no matter in which era, input and output are always proportional. There is no free lunch, and no unconditional gift.

"What will it cost me?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Luther and asked.

Luther smiled slightly, and there was both playfulness and deep meaning in that smile.

"you."

He said it without hesitation, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"I?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka subconsciously looked at her body and an inexplicable panic surged in her heart.

Could it be that this mysterious Luther was asking for her body in exchange?
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she quickly rejected it.

No, there was no trace of desire or greed in Luther's eyes, and his demands were obviously deeper.

"Not your body, but you, your body, your mind, your soul, from now on will belong to me."

Luther's words were like a thunder, exploding in Hiratsuka Shizuka's ears.

She widened her eyes and looked at Luther in disbelief, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

However, Luther's expression was extremely serious, without the slightest hint of joking.

"This is what you have to pay. There is no need to be anxious or angry, because the choice is yours. Whether you want to gain spiritual power or lose your freedom, it is all your decision and choice."

He seemed to be saying something that was perfectly natural.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was silent, with complicated emotions surging in her heart. She knew that she was facing an unprecedented choice.

Gaining spiritual power means that she will have the power to protect herself and those around her, but it also means that she must give up her freedom and hand over everything to this mysterious Luther.

She thought back to the last night when she was attacked by the monster, those moments of helplessness and fear.

She longed for strength, longed to be able to protect herself and those innocent people.

But at the same time, she also knew that once she made this choice, she would no longer be the free and unrestrained Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Of course, Shizuka Hiratsuka knows better that if this opportunity were given to other people, they would probably be happy to take it.

"Mr. Luther, I am willing to pay the price."

Shizuka Hiratsuka is a mature adult, and her maturity has accelerated after becoming a teacher.

Is it worth losing your freedom and yourself?

So, she knew that this was a question that had no standard answer.

Everyone has a different measure of value. Some are willing to give up everything for power, while others would rather live an ordinary life.

And Luther just gave her a chance to choose.

Whether she is willing to accept this choice depends entirely on her own heart.

Luther smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated this result.

"Very good, Miss Hiratsuka Shizuka. You have made a wise choice. From now on, you will have powerful spiritual power, but you will also lose your freedom. However, please rest assured that I will give you a brand new identity and status, so that you will have more power and influence in this world."

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded. Although she was still a little nervous and uneasy, she knew that she had no way out. She had to face this unknown future bravely and use her new power to protect herself and those innocent people.

"Now, go take a shower."

Luther's words suddenly became soft, which surprised Hiratsuka Shizuka.

She was slightly stunned, and then an inexplicable tension surged in her heart.

Taking a shower? After this, would it be... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she could only bite the bullet and follow Luther's instructions to walk into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, everything was ready. The soft bath towels, the shower gel with a light fragrance, and the set of clothes tailored for her lay there quietly, as if telling of the upcoming changes.

Shizuka Hiratsuka took off her clothes, and her exposed skin looked particularly white under the light. She was surprised to find that the scars on her body had miraculously disappeared without leaving any trace.

You don't have to guess that this was Luther's work.

"What am I thinking about?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka stood under the shower head, letting the hot water wash over her body, but she felt that the thoughts in her mind were like a tangled mess, unable to be cut or sorted out.

She knew she was not an impulsive person, but faced with such a choice, she couldn't help feeling confused and uneasy.

Although she was prepared, she still felt reluctant when she had to pay the price of her freedom. However, now that things had come to this, she had no way out.

She closed her eyes and let the water wash over her body, washing away her inner struggle. She told herself that since she had made the choice, she had to move forward bravely.

No matter what the future holds, she will use this power to protect herself and those innocent people. Thinking of this, she seemed to have found the motivation to move forward, and the confusion in her heart gradually dissipated.

After taking a bath, Shizuka Hiratsuka put on the clothes prepared for her. The clothes were soft and comfortable, well-cut, and perfectly outlined her figure.

She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully, as if she saw a brand new self. This self would have powerful spiritual power and would also bear more responsibilities and obligations.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka came out anxiously, she found that Luther was gone.

There is only one image.

"You can go do what you want to do next, just like usual."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sat on the sofa.

"what is this……"

She was prepared for complaints, but Luther just left. It was obvious that he really had no feelings for her.

Damn, is she that bad?
"That's right. With such power, he must have played with many women prettier than me. How could he possibly be interested in me?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, but became even more worried.

Luther teased Hiratsuka Shizuka for a while and then left her alone.

The easier it is to get something, the less we will cherish it. Let her and Busujima Saeko continue to live in fear for a while.

Human beings are just creatures that are always looking for peace of mind, so the more this is the case, the more difficult it is to let them feel at ease so quickly.

Living in constant fear and anxiety, they will become more and more nervous, and at that time, Luther can become their savior by giving them peace of mind.

Luther wanted not just their bodies, but their souls and their minds.

Just like Kasumigaoka Utaha now.

Kasumigaoka Utaha finally found Luther.
