We villains all have invincibility written on our faces

Krieg observed the reaction of the Red Scarf Fighter, and it was pretty much as he expected. The Red Scarf Fighter was indeed moved by Krieg's carefully designed words. He had to find some opening remarks that would resonate with the audience without revealing his intentions. It took Krieg a full minute to come up with these few short sentences.

Although he looks a little vicious, his heart is so noble!

The Red Scarf Warrior was moved. He understood his predecessor's dilemma. He knew how unrealistic it was to rely on a high-speed train and wait for heroes' support. At this stage, there were 17 S-class heroes, 38 A-class heroes, 101 B-class heroes, and 390 C-class heroes. Relying on these people to maintain 26 cities was simply unrealistic. Even the Red Scarf Warrior himself thought so. As a C-class hero, he knew the rules for C-class heroes: if they didn't make any contributions within a week, they would be expelled from the Hero Association. However, there were only a few heroes expelled, and all of them left due to injury or exhaustion.

As a profession, the Red Scarf Fighter knows that not every hero comes for justice. Quite a number of heroes come for the salary and short-term honor. Why are these heroes who are not fighting hard enough still not eliminated? Isn't it because the number of weirdos is increasing?

The Red Scarf Fighter had seen a maximum of four monsters in one day. He hated his own weakness. If he was strong enough and didn't have to fight with every monster for a long time, then he might be able to save one more person.

"What is this method?" The red scarf fighter couldn't wait to know the answer.

"This method?!" Krieg raised his arms high, then made an exaggerated swing, resting them above his waist. He extended his left foot forward, knees slightly bent, and held his right foot still. The position was clearly precarious, but to the red scarf fighter, an indescribable aura emanated from the senior. "Think about it, what's most common in this world? Heroes? Or ordinary people?"

"Of course it's an ordinary person."

"So who plays the biggest role in facing the monster's attack?"

"He's a hero." The red scarf fighter could vaguely sense what his predecessor meant, but he didn't dare to believe it.

Krieg observed his expression until he saw hesitation in the red scarf fighter's eyes. He then acted inscrutable and said, "Since you've guessed what I'm thinking, why don't you say it?"

The Red Scarf Fighter couldn't imagine the conclusion he had come to. He even took a step back involuntarily. "Senior, are you saying that all ordinary people should become heroes?!"

The red scarf fighter's face was filled with shock, while Krieg's expression was completely frozen.

"No, that's not what I meant," Krieg smiled and shook his head. The Red Scarf Warrior's idea must be his truest thought. The fact that he could come up with such an idea showed that this guy was not just a hero who worked hard, which was very helpful for Krieg's deception. "The method you mentioned may be more effective, but only a few people can become heroes. Even if they have the intention, without years of practice, they can't achieve anything with just a righteous heart."

"Yes, yes," the red scarf fighter rubbed his head sheepishly, his face slightly red. He blamed himself for coming up with such a stupid idea despite meeting such a kind senior.

"Don't worry. It's a good thing for young people to have ideas. Even if this method doesn't work now, who knows if it will work in the future? Having ideas is always better than having no ideas at all. Even if it's a dead end, there's always a chance it can become a way out."

"Yes, senior!" The red scarf fighter raised his head and responded loudly to Krieg's encouragement. He still felt embarrassed, but with the encouragement of his senior, he felt that his value was affirmed.

I am not useless. The red scarf fighter regained his confidence. Even if the ice cream monster appears in front of him next time, even if he knows that he can't beat him, he will still rush forward without hesitation.

Because I'm a hero, it's that simple!

"Young people are really energetic," Krieger clapped softly, until the red scarf fighter felt a little embarrassed. "Now that you've finished speaking about your ideas, let me share mine."

"Of course, Senior."

"Do you know where these weirdos come from?" Before the deception officially began, Krieg asked an irrelevant question.

The Red Scarf Warrior understood that this was a test from his senior. Fortunately, this answer was common knowledge in the Hero Association, so he immediately replied, "The origins of monsters are constantly increasing. The four currently recognized sources are special supernatural consciousness, human mutations, mutations caused by human research, and other non-human life forms."

"That's right," Krieg nodded. He tried to guide the red scarf fighter's thinking. Intelligent people will doubt ideas directly fed to them, but they won't doubt conclusions they've reached themselves; they'll even actively defend them. Krieg wanted to exploit this. "So, if you absolutely must simplify these four origins to three, how would you do it?"

How can I simplify?

The Red Scarf Warrior had never considered this. He had thought it was an extremely difficult question, but after a brief comparison, he came up with the answer. "It's the mutations within humans and the mutations caused by human research. Both are related to humans themselves!"

"You are very smart!" Krieg laughed loudly, and did not hesitate to praise him like a simple-minded elder facing an admiring younger generation. The red scarf fighter was even happier in his heart, as he seemed to understand what the senior meant this time.

"Senior, do you mean to guide the behavior of ordinary people?" The red scarf fighter was satisfied and he was eager to prove himself.

"Yes, I agree with you," Krieger said, placing his hand on the red scarf fighter's shoulder. "The biggest cause of human mutations is overly intense emotions and desires. Those who become eccentrics often have overly strong likes and dislikes for certain things. Mutations caused by human research are also due to the needs of researchers, and ultimately, their own desires."

"I have no intention of denying the feelings and desires of ordinary people. It is these feelings and desires that promote the progress of society. No matter what serious consequences they cause, the real executors are also human beings. Emotions and desires are innocent."

"Being innocent is one thing, being a contributing factor is another. Excessive emotions and desires are the greatest sins, but this sin is judged solely by the actions of the possessor, not their thoughts. Everyone has dark thoughts about money, beauty, and even food. Red Scarf Warrior, if we insist on convicting people based on their thoughts, then everyone in the world would be a sinner. So we can't blame these thoughts, but if we can guide these ordinary people correctly, perhaps the harm they cause will be greatly reduced."

The Red Scarf Fighter fell into deep thought. Krieger implanted our concept into his thinking, and the Red Scarf Fighter unknowingly began to continue thinking according to Krieger's ideas.

The Red Scarf Fighter is not an iron man. He has suffered a lot in the process of fighting off monsters. Sometimes when facing powerful enemies that he cannot defeat, there will be onlookers who make sarcastic remarks, angrily call him a waste, and beg him to cover his retreat when the monsters are about to catch up.

As heroes, the daily activities of the Hero Association mainly rely on donations from wealthy people. Even the association itself was founded by the tycoon Argeni. These managers also discriminate against C-class heroes. Those wealthy people even use S-class heroes as bodyguards. Krieg's words obviously touched the sore spot of the red scarf fighter.

It is clearly us who are protecting them. As soon as this thought came to mind, the red scarf fighters' resentment was ignited.

"I understand what you're thinking, Senior," the Red Scarf Warrior said hoarsely. The last time he'd had his leg fractured, he'd felt the indifference of bureaucracy. He knew the Hero Association made many wrong decisions, and that the onlookers were often foolish, but he was powerless to do anything about it. The senior who'd saved him seemed to possess a unique charisma; he knew exactly how to solve the problem!

This feeling brought the Red Scarf Fighter an indescribable sense of security. Thinking of the answer he was about to hear, the Red Scarf Fighter felt a shiver running down his spine. "So, what method do you mean, Senior?"

"They need someone to guide their will, but will is free, and free people don't need a dictator," Krieg narrated in an aria-like tone, "What they need is an idol! An idol they can trust!"

Krieg extended his hand to the red scarf fighter. The red scarf fighter took a deep breath and, in response to the invitation, he held Krieg's hand tightly. The warmth from his hand made his eyes moist.

"Red Scarf Fighter, are you willing to help me realize this wish?"

"I do, of course I do!" The red scarf fighter choked, he found the purpose of his life.

Chapter 147 Unicorn Hero

"Very good," Krieg shook the red scarf fighter's hands tightly, conveying his will to him.

"My name is Krieg, and some people also call me Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle. The former is my real name, and the latter is my hero name, and it's also the name I'll promote in the future. I believe that in the near future, the world will listen to my voice."

The red scarf fighter nodded vigorously. He believed that if the senior's ideas spread, many people would follow him. Many C-class heroes he knew would agree with the senior's views. This was a force that could change the status quo.

Then let me be the forerunner, as long as it can improve the status of heroes a little bit, so as not to disappoint these heroes who are desperately protecting civilians.

Before fantasizing about a bright future, the Red Scarf Warrior had one last question, and he took this opportunity to ask, "Senior, if we lead with justice, will others quickly follow suit?"

You're convinced others will follow suit, but I'm not convinced yet. Krieg's face twitched. The Red Scarf Warrior had gotten into the role too quickly, but this also proved that his words were contagious, and he could continue to use them to fool others.

"Of course it's not that simple. Do you know why good people and good deeds are often broadcast on TV?" Krieg saw that the red scarf fighter was almost fooled. In order to maintain his image, he decided to use questions instead of answers. People always believe in the answers they think of. They will feel that they are involved in the process of making plans, and thus have enthusiasm and subjective motivation far beyond the norm.

"It's because of the positive guiding role," the red scarf fighter replied.

"That's right. An individual's power has its limits. Even if he's an S-class hero or a tycoon, he can only help others hundreds or thousands of times. But the limit still exists. The awakening of a few cannot protect everyone. Unless everyone can wake up and help each other, those who only rely on others for help will eventually fail again, thus creating a vicious cycle. They need to make changes."

"Is the ideal of the predecessors ultimately a situation where everyone helps each other?"

"I hope so," Krieger said, silent for a moment. "No matter what, this is my resolution, no matter what the outcome will be," Krieger looked directly into the red scarf fighter's eyes, the determination in his eyes infecting the red scarf fighter. "I've already had this resolution."

"Senior, let me realize this dream with you!" The red scarf fighter was moved. In the infectious language and the sense of ceremony after the war, he firmly believed that he had received enlightenment.

Krieg simply patted the red scarf fighter's shoulder without saying anything, and showed a perfect smile in the boy's admiring eyes.

Dr. Kinos also asked Krieg the same question. After all, when the House of Evolution was invaded, Krieg's mental performance shocked Dr. Kinos, and Krieg's answer at that time was completely the opposite.

"This is impossible. Don't dream. People cannot understand each other. Even if you develop a black technology to abolish the concept of currency and money, even if material wealth and entertainment are developed, there will still be gaps between people, in terms of external appearance and internal IQ. Even if they are all clones, do you think that your clones will be exactly the same as you?" Krieg's contemptuous expression made Dr. Kinos feel a deep chill.

"Acknowledging disparities and then artificially separating those who are disparate, preventing them from ever seeing each other, is what was originally called a small country with few people and a policy of inaction, which amounts to avoiding the problem. Refusing to acknowledge disparities and insisting that everyone is equal and that everyone is an irreplaceable treasure is a form of empathy and a Madonna syndrome, which amounts to covering up the problem. Acknowledging disparities between people and arguing that the weak deserve to die is social Darwinism, which exacerbates the problem. History shows that simply implementing any of these three approaches will lead to serious consequences."

Dr. Kinos could follow Krieger's train of thought, so he asked, "So your method is to train a group of people who can't think. What kind of thing is that? You treat them as tools, and I want to kill them all. If you expand the perspective enough, is there really any difference in our behavior?!"

"Dr. Kinos, human existence is meaningless. Even the word 'meaning' is an immaterial word invented by humans. If history truly can teach us anything, it's that humans never learn from their mistakes. Therefore, I am here to guide them. Anyone unwilling to repeat their mistakes should, like me, pursue their own limits, rather than being confined by rules and regulations."

"You are crazy, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle. You are either completely crazy or you have never been awake." Dr. Kinos's clothes were wet and dry again. Facing Krieg's thoughts that could not be said to be enlightenment or despair, Dr. Kinos even suspected that he had created a devil.

Thankfully, Dr. Kinos has yet to taste failure, and he thinks so too.

This is the truth that the two of them agree on. For Dr. Genos, who wants to kill all the old humans, it is just a matter of waiting a few more years. Anyway, he can afford to wait because he has mastered the technology of rejuvenation. He also wants to know what the world will look like in the end according to Krieg's ideas.

A weirdo with absolutely no moral integrity and a scientist who thinks about destroying the old world all day long, it is such a coincidence to put these two together.

"Red Scarf Warrior."

"Yes, Senior, which step should I start with?"

"Hmm? No rush, let's go eat first."

"Senior?" The red scarf fighter's eyes were a little dull.

"How can you work if you don't have enough to eat? If you can't even take care of yourself, isn't it a bit arrogant to expect to take care of others?"

"I understand, senior!"

"You don't have to answer so seriously, it will make me embarrassed," Krieg shrugged. The red scarf fighter touched his head embarrassedly, still talking about seniors all the time.

So a few minutes later, they appeared in the restaurant. The two of them ran there at Krieg's suggestion. On the way, Krieg also verified an idea that the hero's physical fitness was indeed far superior to that of ordinary people. However, when he thought of the unlicensed knight who could patrol the city on a bicycle, Krieg could only express his understanding.

Everyone in the restaurant clearly saw Krieg appear, but except for a few children who pointed and commented on the appearance of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, everyone else looked as if they were not paying attention. The fear that Krieg had expected did not appear, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After a big meal in the best place in the city, the Red Scarf Fighter became more determined in his ideals for Krieg. The expenses of a C-class hero can only sustain life. For the Red Scarf Fighter, the material poverty makes it easy for Krieg to take advantage of the situation.

After all, Dr. Kinos is really rich.

Krieg had always suspected that, aside from Saitama, every slightly famous figure in this world was a wealthy individual, spending money like they were printing money. Perhaps it was a setting, and Krieg had found this universal excuse. Given the speed at which people here spent money and the crises that could easily lead to the disappearance of entire cities, the very fact that an economic system existed here was strange.

"Senior, this is delicious!"

The Red Scarf Fighter's words interrupted Krieg's train of thought. He decided to go for a walk around and estimate the frequency of strange people. The Red Scarf Fighter was obviously embarrassed. He was clearly invited to eat, but he was just here to eat. Krieg gestured to him to relax. He really didn't care about such a small matter.

So Krieg exchanged contact information with him and walked out of the restaurant. He then opened his phone to save the message from the Red Scarf Fighter. At this time, there were more than seventy missed calls on his phone.

Ah, I forgot to tell Kinos.

Krieg realized belatedly that Dr. Kinos's presence was too weak and he had forgotten about this person for a moment.

"Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, why did you step on the communicator and smash it? Don't you care about our agreement at all?" Dr. Kinos's exasperated voice came from the phone.

"Isn't there any surveillance around here?"

"No! No!" Dr. Kinos was very angry. "I told you, I can't hack into the network here. What if you lose control when I can't see you?"

"You mean Ashura Mode? I'm a law-abiding citizen, protected by the Hero Association. I won't do anything, don't worry."

"Relax? Hello? Hello?" Dr. Kinos took off the communicator, which showed that the call had been hung up. He looked at the clones and suddenly felt a little panicked.

Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle has escaped from underground, and now no one can stop his actions. Although Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle did talk about S-class heroes and so on, Dr. Genos does not believe those legends.

After all, the Hero Association was established less than three years ago, and Dr. Genos had already conducted research for longer than them. His lack of understanding of the new organization made him think that Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle was invincible.

After hanging up the phone, Krieg looked righteous. He also realized that the Hero Association could access his surveillance information. From now on, he had to maintain his image as a passionate hero. Although it was a bit troublesome, Krieg was enjoying it. Originally, Krieg was also looking forward to the performance of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. After all, he could tell at first sight that Saitama was dangerous. Unfortunately, this was just a misunderstanding. The reason was that the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle was an insect. Insects have a strong intuition for danger. Therefore, the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle could sense Saitama's strength, which had nothing to do with the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's strength.

During his subsequent wanderings, Krieg encountered two more accidents caused by monsters. He easily dealt with the monsters both times. His powerful strength had left a little impression on the victims. Although it was only a little bit, it would have some effect when accumulated over time.

Krieg does not plan to take the initiative to participate in the hero exam, but waits for the Hero Association to come to him with his reputation. This way, he will have much more initiative. Since he wants to become a hero, he might as well become an S-class hero!

It is also important to establish a good relationship with the protagonist. In Krieg's final plan, there is a simplest way to become an idol, which is to claim Saitama's credit. If time permits, Krieg can completely reveal the existence of Boros, wait until most people admit that he is difficult, and then wait until Saitama kills Boros. Anyway, Saitama will not care about this, and it doesn't matter whether Genos can guess it at that time, he will listen to Saitama anyway.

What a wicked idea! As obscene as a frog's piss!

Krieger tried to use some shameful lines to see if he could awaken his moral integrity, but obviously he did not succeed.

In the following time, Krieg kept making his presence felt, and the monsters also appeared in great numbers. Although Dr. Kinos did not agree with Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle's independent actions, he still cooperated with him in these matters and sent armed gorillas to record the video. At the same time, his clones began to learn editing and video production, and started posting with hundreds of small accounts.

"Shocking! A rhinoceros beetle has become a spirit and calls himself a hero!"

"A gift from nature, the birth of the monster buster Rhinoceros Beetle!"

"He was an ugly hero, but he had a heart of gold. Everyone who heard him say this cried."

"A profound and well-written article. What qualities make a hero?"

The UC virus began to spread on the Internet. Dr. Kinos's clones were very professional. The time they posted and the comments on their accounts were all planned in a unified manner. Krieg knew very well what kind of information bombardment would cause people to be tired, and the clones learned quickly and they could grasp the density of information.

An unusual title can generate a lot of interest. Krieg told the clones that no matter what they posted, at least the three words "rhinoceros beetle" must appear in the title and the first line of the text. On the one hand, the rhinoceros beetle itself is very popular among the people here. On the other hand, it can also increase the density of information. If a person sees several completely different titles, but these titles all mention the same thing, then the possibility of him clicking on it will be greatly increased.

News about the Rhinoceros Beetle began to spread on the Internet. Dr. Genos and his clones did not choose to exaggerate how Krieg defeated the monster, but chose to make the Rhinoceros Beetle into an urban legend. It is interesting to say that urban legends spread much faster than normal news. According to Dr. Genos's precise calculations, at most the day after tomorrow, more than half of the people will have heard about the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle.

But Dr. Kinos underestimated the power of the UC body. People here had never seen such a marketing method before. After only a few hours, the reputation of the Rhinoceros Beetle Man began to spread. By the evening when the children got out of school and the adults got off work, the legend of the Rhinoceros Beetle Man had spread in the streets and alleys. According to the children, if you ask the Rhinoceros Beetle for help when you encounter danger, the Rhinoceros Beetle will become a hero to protect you.

P.S.: The beginning of the month has passed, so there's no need to work overtime. The update schedule will return to normal, and I'll have time to think more about the plot.

Chapter 148 Hero Association

The strange story of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle soon attracted the attention of the Hero Association, and Krieg's whereabouts were soon noticed by the Hero Association. The investigation into him also began to proceed in a sporadic manner. For the Hero Association, which is seriously bureaucratic, this is already a very serious matter.

The number of monsters is too large. Although many senior executives are only concerned with pleasure, there are still some clear-headed people who know what kind of pressure the association is facing. The Hero Association needs fresh blood to join at all times.

Finally, after public opinion gradually fermented, they were ready to discuss this issue.

City A, headquarters of the Heroes Association.

A group of Hero Association executives and onlookers gathered around an extra-long table. In front of each of them was a finger-thick document printed with various jobs.

"Now for the third matter, regarding the volunteer hero Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, my secretary will explain. Yada, you speak for me."

"Yes," a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked forward and projected the appearance of the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle onto the screen.

Some of the initially somewhat scattered crowd sat up straighter. "Hiss," a series of gasps echoed from nearby mouths. While the Hero Association had many heroes with bizarre abilities and appearances, they were still at least human in appearance. Krieg's current appearance could only be described as vaguely humanoid. Many of the Hero Association's sponsors were in attendance, and for these wealthy sponsors, Krieg's appearance was a bit stimulating.

"Is this what a volunteer hero looks like? Are you sure he's not a weirdo?" "He looks very powerful, but he doesn't look like a good person." "Is he a weirdo who has turned over a new leaf?" "What's his purpose?"

If Zombie Man was here, he would recognize who this was. Unfortunately, the S-class heroes were always moving around, so they couldn't be summoned for such a small matter. They would also not obey the association's arrangements, so in fact, the Hero Association was completely unfamiliar with the origins of Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle.

The discussion went on and on, and the messy noises kept interrupting the report. Poor Secretary Yata tried to speak repeatedly but was drowned out by the noises of these boring people. He could only look at his boss helplessly.

"Alright, alright," the nameless uncle who spoke first stopped their discussion. "You're here to listen to Yata's report, not to practice picture description. The Hero Association is very busy, and my time is precious. Let's get straight to the point, okay?"

"It's very precious," the pot-bellied bald man patted his belly and continued with a lewd smile, "I have to meet a new actress later!"

The bald man's words were obviously more interesting than Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle's, and many people in the Hero Association smiled knowingly.
