Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 956 Red Dance Shoes

“My title is Hell Detective, yours is Death Shooter, and Jason’s is Crystal Lake Killer,” Yan Xu joked, surprised that the Huntress and Jason were actually considering the matter seriously.

Whether it's their appearance or their names, it's all about creating a persona, just like the "pure and innocent" image that was popular in Hong Kong back then. Even if they were "pure and innocent" in private, it didn't stop them from making money and becoming famous. So the two of them didn't mind changing their names and appearances.

The main reason is that although the dark theme is niche, it also means less competition. And even if it doesn't work out, there's always a chance to have a sudden realization, turn back from the wrong path, and return to God's embrace.

This isn't a big problem. Many heroes have partnerships with churches. Just give them a little money, and they'll be happy to get more publicity.

Although the female hunter, who had just recovered, occasionally trembled, she didn't stop herself from typing on the keyboard with one hand to write a plan and making phone calls to coordinate with various parties with the other, demonstrating her basic skills in ambidextrous work and her ability to handle both tasks simultaneously.

As a registered hero and a resident hero, changing her appearance and name is not a personal matter, nor can it be changed at will. It must be approved by League of Legends and the community. Otherwise, she may be disqualified, have her cooperation terminated, or even be sued for allegedly affecting her image. Therefore, she must give prior notice and obtain approval before making any changes.

Fortunately, this is a free alliance, and the relevant review process is relatively lenient.

The main reason is that the League of Legends has a large market among young people, and these idiots don't care if you're an executioner or a murderer. As long as you're cool, you'll have admirers. The key is that there are many die-hard fans, and even many imitators. So League of Legends has never given up on the niche group of dark heroes.

However, due to several incidents that had a very negative impact in the past, and considering the various factors involved, large-scale development has not been undertaken.

There's no way around it; dark heroes are too easily corrupted, and it's not just minor things like sleeping with fans, joining the underworld, or engaging in shady dealings. Anyway, the things they do can make Hannibal a vegetarian and boost the performance of demons.

Although similar incidents are not unique to dark heroes, as long as they can be suppressed and as long as those so-called heroes can continue to bring benefits and value, it doesn't matter.

But the Dark Heroes went completely mad, making it public knowledge and significantly increasing the cost of suppressing it, to the point that it exceeded the value they could provide. As a result, they were abandoned and relegated to the ranks of supervillains.

This is also one of the unspoken secrets of League of Legends: superheroes are stars, tools for making money, and so are supervillains, at least some of them, since many classic scenes require tacit cooperation.

Certain channels and privileges are enough to make those super villains who are addicted to pleasure but have money to burn compromise and become stepping stones for their mortal enemies.

Even if they get arrested, they'll just go on vacation. As long as they're still famous and have a following, it's only a matter of time before they escape from prison, whether automatically or passively, because they're indispensable in the script.

Some classic villains, even arch-enemies of multiple superheroes, can elevate a new hero with a single attack or defeat. This is the embodiment of their value and the source of their confidence.

Therefore, League of Legends neither encourages nor opposes heroes who want to take a dark path; it's entirely up to your own choice.

If you break out of your own style, like the Punisher, then traffic and endorsements will naturally come knocking on your door.

However, if they cause serious incidents that are difficult to manage, they will be abandoned without hesitation and become super criminals to be fought by superheroes. In any case, they will not let go of any shred of their usefulness.

After League of Legends approved her application, the Huntress began contacting the community, which was where the real difficulties began.

League of Legends boasts tens of thousands of superheroes, with a large number of new players joining every year, so they don't care about the transformation of a mere female hunter squad.

However, due to limitations such as funding, the community can only hire two or three heroes at most, and these heroes will become the community's image ambassadors.

No community would introduce a dark-themed hero, after all, communities are for people to live in, not for criminals and evil spirits.

Fortunately, the female hunter was good with words, and she was able to persuade both the tough Yan Xu and the community board of directors to compromise.

The main reason is that this is not an ordinary supernatural event, but a bizarre event that would frighten ordinary people. This forces the community board to consider related issues, as local residents will definitely file complaints about it.

Rather than hiring another mysterious hero whose background is unknown, it would be better to support the transformation of the Huntress team that we have already been cooperating with. At least they are more trustworthy and more controllable.

Through the Huntress's persistent efforts, the Night Demon Squad established the Night Watchers Studio to further deepen their cooperation with the community. The main reason for establishing the Night Watchers Studio was that they disliked the name "Night Demon," believing it was detrimental to the community's property values ​​and reputation.

The huntress naturally had no objection to this, but since the team had gained a new hero from the mystic side, the price couldn't be the same as before.

Previously, Huntress received around $300,000 in funding from the community each year, which sounded like a lot. However, after deducting various taxes and bills, venue rental, league fees, and other expenses, she didn't even get $100,000. After deducting Jason's salary, she could only afford to buy discounted old versions of her hero uniform.

In other words, she doesn't have a high demand for equipment, and her destructive power in combat isn't that great; otherwise, she would definitely need to do some side jobs.

Now that a newcomer has joined the Mystic side, the quota has been increased to 400,000, with bounties and endorsements calculated separately, which finally allows her to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, we can't get the money now. Although the community board agreed to provide an extra subsidy this year, we need to deal with some problems that have accumulated in the past. If we can resolve them smoothly, not to mention this small amount of funding, the reward will be quite generous.

The huntress knew what the other person was referring to, but she didn't agree rashly. Instead, she planned to take the newcomer to see for herself first.

Most heroes are unable to handle bizarre events, so there are lingering issues in the community, such as the Red Shoes, which used to be a favorite haunt of the community's men.

You could tell what kind of place it was just by its name, until one day, it suddenly became a river of blood.

The police investigated for a long time, and even superheroes came, but still found no clues. Those who took over the case all died in accidents, and gradually the case was forgotten. So the community wanted the Huntress and her team to solve the problem here.

Now that the decision has been made, preparations begin.

The huntress changed into a newly custom-made bodysuit, which, due to the change in her figure, specifically emphasized elasticity, thus revealing a stunning curve.

This also made it difficult for her to use a bow as a weapon, unless she was willing to lean forward and stick her buttocks out in an odd posture to shoot arrows.
Actually, after Yan Xu adjusted the seal, her bra size could be freely adjusted from A to Z, but she was unwilling to break the bottom line of D, so in addition to adding a smooth-looking breastplate, she also prepared two revolvers.

The huntress's superpower isn't perfect accuracy, but rather a significant increase in her hit rate. She chooses to use a bow and arrow as her weapon mainly because it's eye-catching and helps build her character, rather than being limited to using only a bow.

Jason was in charge of filming. In addition to the camera, he also carried a large machete. If the police saw him like that, they would definitely give him a magazine of bullets to calm his nerves without saying a word.

Yan Xu was dressed the same as before, but he brought an extra short double-barreled shotgun, which brought back a bit of his original feeling, a sense of nostalgia.

Despite all the preparations, it was the kid in charge of lighting and the succubus in charge of intelligence gathering who ended up going in, while Yan Xu and the other two stayed in the car drinking coffee, eating rice, and munching on donuts.

The succubus glared resentfully at her master and the huntress. She had specially oiled her tail today to make sure it would go all the way in.

Originally, I planned to help my master tame that female archer, but I never expected that I would end up making her do chores. Ha, men.

Because the Alliance is sparsely populated, the Red Shoes building, besides having a large parking lot, also has a considerable main building area. It is pitch black inside and scattered with a lot of miscellaneous items. An ordinary person would probably trip and fall after taking only a few steps, but for imps and succubi, this is no problem. They have never seen a demon afraid of the dark.

The little devil, holding a fireball in his palm, strolled around with an air of "Come at me, you idiot!"

Meanwhile, the succubus silently infiltrated, searching for clues everywhere.

Demons are not just mindless idiots who only fight and kill; at least succubi are not. Their long lifespans and years of war have endowed them with rich experience and skills.

It can be said that every succubus is a top-notch infiltrator no less skilled than Black Widow, and she did indeed discover the secret hidden in the red dancing shoes: the densely packed silk threads in the ceiling.

She couldn't help but grin. Succubi feared encountering skilled opponents, especially those with silk threads, which they were extremely resistant to. She just hoped that this opponent wouldn't be too strong.
