Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 960 Black Heart
After causing a huge problem due to a moment of impulsiveness, Thumb Bro realized his mistake and immediately ran away, and his whereabouts are now unknown.

With his abilities, as long as he can endure it, he can find a female rat's nest to squat in, eat and drink, and no one will be able to find him. That's why the Hero Dispatch Center has thrown this problem at them.

However, Yan Xu touched the newly summoned hellhound and smiled without saying a word.

Despite having "dog" in its name, the Cerberus doesn't actually look like a dog at all. It's more like a mutated monster resulting from the crossbreeding of the Ganges and Fukushima, with a twisted and abstract appearance. However, the Cerberus is the most deadly natural enemy of magic users.

Although superpowered individuals are not classified as magicians, if you were to say that superpowers are science-based, people would probably feel a bit guilty.

Even if the superpowers aren't magical, they can still lock onto the target by obtaining personal items the other person has used, so they need to go to Thumb Guy's house first.

This is not easy. Although Thumb Guy has run away, there is still someone at home.

Because of the unspoken rule among Black people, whoever becomes famous has to help those around them. Just like a hook or a fishing net, the more famous someone is, the bigger the net they pull in. As a result, once a Black person in a poor neighborhood becomes successful or rich, a large group of Black people will always gather around them.

These people might boost morale, do odd jobs, and provide emotional support, but they are essentially still exploiting people. This is why many Black celebrities go bankrupt quickly once they pass their peak.

Although Thumb Bro ran away without telling anyone, this group still keenly sensed the danger and opportunity. So when Yan Xu and his group arrived, the scene looked like thousands of people had shopped for free, with footprints and signs of destruction everywhere. Even the bathtub was full of filth. It was clear that once these people were out of control, they were like wild beasts.

In this situation, even a hellhound wouldn't be able to find the scent of Thumbelina in a stew.

Now, let alone clues, the source has been cut off. We can only use the most basic method to look for new clues from all aspects, such as the places that Brother Thumb likes to go and the friends he knows.

Thumb Bro's friend had just turned his home into a crime scene and a homeless playground, so he started by going to places he liked to go.

Thumb Guy is actually very simple and single-minded. He has never been to places like coffee shops, libraries, or amusement parks; he only goes to entertainment venues.

That saves trouble, because Thumb Bro, as a second-rate superhero, wouldn't go to ordinary entertainment venues for fun.

In fact, ordinary entertainment venues cannot satisfy these monsters whose physical abilities are many times greater than those of ordinary people, because although most superheroes will not explode on their heads and have their skulls blown off when they get excited like Superman in the League, no one can withstand their pelvis being shattered at the drop of a hat.

Moreover, due to the density of their muscles, superheroes' deep interactions with ordinary people are like scratching an itch through a boot—they get no stimulation at all and could easily cause death.

So apart from those with a volatile constitution, it's rare for superheroes to have any dealings with ordinary people.

Therefore, the venues specifically prepared for superheroes have entry requirements; only those with superpowers are allowed to enter.

Heart of Darkness is the entertainment venue that Thumb Bro frequents. It is known for its extreme tastes and fancy games, and the owner behind it is the infamous supervillain, Witch Heart Demon.

"Isn't that surprising?" Red Spider said with a smile.

Yan Xu seemed indifferent, but Huntress and Jason took a breath, because the Wizard Heart Demon was a superhero who debuted earlier than Superman and others, and was also a rare and powerful mystical hero. The Wizard Supreme of the Superhero team was his imitator.

However, due to certain events, this mysterious superhero openly rebelled, becoming the strongest supervillain at the time. Many superheroes fell into his hands and became his playthings.

At the time, the dual-wielding supervillain gameplay was not yet fully developed. Although some League of Legends executives proposed it, considerations for public impact and the League's official stance led to its suppression and delay. Therefore, considerable resources were actually mobilized initially. However, as a dark wizard from the tribe, the Demon Lord was proficient in various bizarre and unpredictable dark magic. He turned those arrogant superheroes into resurrected corpses, which actually increased their power. Ultimately, the heavy casualties and the ever-expanding influence forced League of Legends to quickly approve the supervillain operation plan.

Although Superman was still very young at the time, the strength he displayed had already made Witchheart Demon feel a little wary. In addition, he had achieved his goal and eventually became the first villain signed by League of Legends.

If Starscream weren't a veteran superhero who had also participated in missions related to the Hero Dispatch Center, he probably wouldn't know about this secret.

If it were only Huntress and Jason teaming up with her, Starscream would never have come; she knew very well how terrifying the Witchheart was.

Yan Xu, who knows her depths but not his limits, is the source of Red Spider's confidence to take risks.

Anyone who still believes this person is a complete novice is a fool. As for why we don't spell it out, it's because nobody is a fool.

The Heart of Darkness is not a single entity, but a chain of stores spread across multiple states. Given Thumb's status, he cannot enter higher-end venues, so Yan Xu and his team need to explore one of the branches.

Although the branch store wasn't heavily guarded, it wasn't a place anyone could just walk in.

However, no identification is required, because many of those who come here are superheroes who are hiding their identities. So the entry test is very simple: a hand grip strength test. If you have a strength level three times that of an average person, you can enter. But you also have to sign a waiver beforehand, because these superhumans are not only unpredictable but also unpredictable. People die almost every month. Even though Witchheart is a notorious supervillain, he doesn't want to cause trouble, so the waiver is mandatory.

Yan Xu went in with Red Spider, while Huntress and Jason waited outside. However, they almost couldn't catch their breath as soon as they went in.

Why are there minotaurs here? And female ones at that?!

Yan Xu, who almost choked on his milk, quickly took a step back, pulled out his flattened hat, and walked past the cowgirl who was giving him a flirtatious look.

Look, even the honest Tauren have gone astray. The Alliance truly is a holy land of demonic cultivation.

Then Yan Xu saw a troll wiggling its butt, an orc shaking thunder, a dwarf with its beard braided into a small braid, and a beautiful corpse soaking in formaldehyde. He really didn't know where the audience was.

If it weren't for the alluring drow and succubus here, Yan Xu would really doubt whether this place was prepared for normal people.

Walking to the bar, Yan Xu looked at the little imp dancing around a steel pipe the size of chopsticks with a bit of speechlessness. He pushed a gold coin against the table and ordered a Black Heart Cocktail, which was said to be a must-order signature drink here, and it only accepted gold coins.

Yan Xu took a sip and, as expected, it was a rip-off. That was his only thought. The people around him who had been silently watching him order the drink burst into laughter, which was clearly a regular occurrence here.

Yan Xu raised his glass to signal to those around him, then changed his drink. After exchanging a glance with Red Spider, the two parted ways.

This is normal; many men and women who come in groups actually play separately, since only a minority enjoy premarital sex.

The huge dance floor divides the space into two parts, one for men and the other for women, with a variety of races to choose from.

The minotaurs were roaring, the centaurs were neighing, and the goat-men were bleating. It was quite a spectacle, but it was a blow to everyone's moral compass.
