I admired heroes but became a villain

"Flowing Water... Rock Crushing Fist."

The old man with wolf-like eyes flew into the air, and his bare fists blasted towards Mary in mid-air like a torrent of water.

With nowhere to gain leverage or dodge in the air, Mary quickly gathered her magic power under her feet and used advanced magic skills to perform a double jump in the air. She avoided the martial arts master's special move and the slash from the Atomic Samurai from behind at the critical moment. But this was her limit. The pencil missiles launched from the backpack behind Child Emperor and the super power of the tornado in the sky made her unable to move and could only rely on magic to withstand the attack. She was blown into the basement without any ability to fight back.

"It seems that it's not a big deal... The Black Knight is too cowardly. He actually said that he wanted to prevent the enemy from escaping, so he went to the periphery and was ready to intercept them at any time."

Tornado yawned and looked at Mary who stood up while coughing. He raised his finger slightly, and Mary's two followers were thrown to Mary's feet immediately, looking miserable.

"It's strange... This shouldn't be the case..."

Mary stood up from the ground with some difficulty, and looked weakly at the group of S-class heroes in front of her who had very unhappy expressions.

"I have clearly used magic to fix the concept of 'not being defeated by the Hero Association'. How did you break through the magic of invincibility and come to me?"

"This must be the guidance of justice. If King hadn't happened to meet you, the investigation would have probably lasted a long, long time."

Child Emperor walked up to Mary with a lollipop in his hand, pointed at the door of the warehouse behind her and said word by word: "By the way... could this be where you placed the bomb?"

"what?"

Mary looked at Child Emperor in confusion, but since he was the captain of the French team, she quickly reacted and pointed at herself in surprise: "You don't think it's me who has been bombing City A into a ghost town recently?"

"If it wasn't you, could it have been us who did it?"

Metal Bat snorted coldly: "If you weren't a woman, I would have knocked you down and handed you over to the police."

"You guys... haven't realized you've been tricked yet?"

Mary looked at the heroes in front of her with a smile and said, "The bomber who attacked City A is not in the original plot, so... if it wasn't us, then it must have been your president, the Black Knight! We are magical girls, how could we do something like this to hurt the citizens?"

"What the hell is going on."

Mask looked at Mary and snorted, "When evil is cornered, it will start to talk nonsense. The door behind you must be hiding a lot of explosives, right?"

After saying that, regardless of Mary's objection, Mask pushed the door open. Then he was stunned... There was nothing in the huge warehouse except the white flag.

"I don't know what you're imagining, but we're not the bombers."

Mary said aggrievedly, "I can tell you where the three of us have been recently. If you follow the directions, you will understand that we are definitely not the bombers. Instead, your president... is the most suspicious person. Don't forget that he is accompanied by a witch who can materialize munitions at will!"

At this moment, Child Emperor and everyone else were also stunned...

Come to think of it, that 'Xia' who can materialize all kinds of weapons out of thin air doesn't seem to appear frequently recently and stick to the president?

"But that's impossible."

Silver Fang muttered doubtfully, "The president has been with us these past few days, staying up all night to thoroughly investigate the true identity of the bomber in City A, and he has no motive to do such a stupid thing that would destroy his own foundation."

Your president who didn't appear in the original story must be a member of the witches, and the purpose of the witches blowing up City A, other than distorting the established future of this world, what else...

Mary was about to say that, but changed her mind and sighed, "Maybe it's because of love turning into hate."

"Eh?"

Everyone stared at Mary, who had an extremely sad expression, with a big question mark on their foreheads.

"In fact, your president and I were once a loving couple, but later I realized that I had mistaken friendship for love and that I was not in love with him, so I left him and cut off contact with him. At that time, he swore with gritted teeth that he would give me unimaginable revenge in the future. But I never expected... that he would fall to this level."

Mary's crying face made the heroes stand there hesitantly until a cold male voice sounded.

"That's enough, you dirty bastard."

The man in heavy armor appeared at the door without knowing when. He looked at the magical girl who was throwing dirty water on him and gritted his teeth and said, "Guo has thousands of backups. When will it be the turn of any random person to get close to me? You, a shameless guy... are you also a magical girl?"

"Compared to this."

Mary looked at the witch who had come to her door automatically, and said with a slight smile: "Why don't you explain to your companions who the bomber is?"

"I don't think this is something that needs to be explained,"

Guo Linglong looked at the heroes who turned their gazes to him in silence for a long time. He tilted his head and muttered in confusion: "After all, I think I told you at the beginning."

Don't believe anything I say...

Chapter 103 What Not to Do

The despicable witch actually conspired with the heroes to frame herself as the criminal?

Don't panic, ambush him, use the most ruthless logic to expose his hypocritical words, and then double the blame and put it back on his back!

Just when Mary was confidently preparing to use her proud IQ to plan and turn the tables and revive this deadlock...

"Yes, I did it."

Guo Linglong looked at Mary in confusion, who looked as if she was in so much pain that she wanted to vomit blood, and then frankly admitted it to the astonished heroes around her.

"The person who launched a terrorist attack on the entire city of A, turning it from a prosperous urban area into the ghost town it is today, is me."

"If someone else said this to me, I would definitely think he was joking, but when you say this..."

Mask slowly pointed his knife at Guo and whispered, "It's really not funny at all."

"Everyone says that old people are wise and that they always understand a lot of things..."

Silver Fang said as he and Atomic Samurai blocked the door, staring at Guo Linglong and said, "But I never understood you from beginning to end. You forced Saitama away, ravaged the Hero Association, created the Alliance, terrorized City A, and then swaggered in front of us and revealed your identity. What are you looking at? What are you going to do? Are you... still human?!"

"There's no need to explain. After all, I know myself well. My credibility has already dropped to negative numbers. No one will believe my lies anymore, and no one will try to understand my true intentions. Besides, I'm not in the mood to explain, so..."

Guo Linglong stretched her limbs, looked at the heroes surrounding her and chuckled, "Let's have a party. The time to start is now."

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang outside the house. The blast generated by the explosion shattered all the windows of Mary's house. The heroes subconsciously looked back and saw that all the buildings on the entire commercial street outside the window had collapsed and hit the ground. The flames and smoke turned this once prosperous commercial street into a hellish scene.

The sound of explosions and tragic scenes were more convincing than any evidence or words. Mask raised his knife, Metal Bat swung his stick, Superalloy Black Light bulged his muscles, Atomic Samurai drew his knife, Silver Fang clenched his fist, Child Emperor opened his full armor, and the trembling Tornado looked down at Guo Linglong from above...

At this moment, Guo Linglong moved. He squatted down, put down eight mobile phones and opened them one by one. The next moment, noisy and terrified cries for help came from the mobile phones. There were old people, men, women, students, white-collar workers, and even children... The heroes' eyes full of fighting spirit suddenly became dull, and then turned into raging anger.

"The eight hostages are still alive, at least for now, and their phones are equipped with the navigation map I installed."

Guo Linglong looked around at the nine heroes and tilted her head and said, "You can send eight people to rescue the hostages, and then leave one hero to beat me up?"

"Do your duty!"

The impulsive Metal Bat was about to take a step forward when he found that his cell phone was grabbed by an invisible force and thrown out of the room.

"Everyone go out with your cell phone, I'll stay and beat him up."

The former S-rank 2nd place Tornado said arrogantly: "Remember to be quick and rescue all the hostages quickly. Don't hold me back."

Knowing that now was not the time to argue, the heroes took out their phones and left the room as quickly as possible, while Mary also retreated step by step with her men...

"It's a pity. If you had taken another hostage, maybe the situation would have been very different."

Tornado rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Guo Linglong with an angry voice, but Guo Linglong said calmly: "You know what? I have the talent to see through the evil of human nature, so I know that even if you kidnapped a ninth hostage, you would deal with me first, because you are too arrogant, so arrogant that you think you will have enough time to save others after dealing with me."

"Hey, I'm unhappy."

Tornado hooked his finger, and Guo Linglong's body floated up uncontrollably. He dragged her in front of him using his superpowers: "Please correct what you just said. I'm not arrogant, but confident. I'm the second-best S-ranker and I can kill any evil!"

“That’s arrogance.”

Guo Linglong looked at the girl in front of her with amusement and whispered, "I saw through this. I had long anticipated that you would definitely drive away the other heroes and stay to deal with me, so... I had already attacked you before you attacked me."

As she spoke, Guo Linglong took out a test tube and smashed it on the ground. Purple mist with a fishy smell rose up and spread rapidly, but Tornado just waved her hand, and her superpower drove the strong wind to sweep away all the poisonous mist.

"Humph, you know you can't win head-on, so you want to poison me?"

Tornado acted nonchalant and said contemptuously, "You have a good brain. My body is indeed not as well-trained as Black Light and Silver Fang, but if you think that's the case... then..."

Covering his mouth, Long Juan staggered back two steps, looking at Guo Linglong in front of him with horror. The man seemed to have the ability to split himself into three... No... It's not the division technique... It's just that I... saw it wrong... But... Obviously! Obviously... I... didn't inhale the poison...

"The poison was put into your food this morning. Don't worry, it's just a drug to make you fall asleep temporarily. I don't intend to take your life."

Looking at Tornado who seemed to be trying hard to continue fighting with her, Guo Linglong tilted her head and said, "Also, the video on the phone just now was a video of the actors I hired. The hostages never existed in the first place."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tornado's will to resist was completely shattered by the drugs. If Guo Linglong hadn't taken the initiative to pull her back, she would have been lying on the ground in disgrace.

He picked up the young princess and walked directly to the shivering Mary and the others, threw the tornado at them, and then Guo Linglong left without looking back... Although there was a little episode with the magical girl, his plan was basically the same. Now... it's time to put an end to his heroic journey.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Mary, who was holding Tornado, couldn't help but shout, "Although I watched everything from the beginning, I am still confused now. I committed such a heinous crime... What on earth do you want to do?"

"There's no answer to that question because the point is not what I want to do."

Guo Linglong turned her back to Mary and looked at the blazing commercial street in front of her. Then she lowered her head and looked at her hands. She couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "But there's nothing I can do."

That's right, 'what not to do' is the real point, I...

After all, it's impossible to become a hero.

Chapter 104 Reasons

After leaving Tornado, Guo Linglong didn't go anywhere. He just found a tall building nearby and stood there, his windbreaker still rustling in the cold wind.

The teased heroes have discovered that there are no hostages at all. They are gathering together again with anger to attack him who has hidden somewhere unknown. They have no idea that the person they are looking for is looking down at them from a tall building.

"There's no going back to the Alliance now, little brother."

Eva had come to the top floor at some point, looking at the tall building collapsing in the explosion in the distance, and asked softly, "Wouldn't it be better to tell them the 'truth'? Obviously... you did this to save those innocent citizens."

"Tell them what truth?"

Guo Linglong shrugged and said, "Do I have to explain to them that in the near future, a group of spacemen as strong as monsters will descend from the sky in spaceships, and then they will directly bombard the ground with artillery shells and kill millions of citizens of City A without saying a word, so everyone listen to me and leave City A obediently... If Xia hadn't repeatedly assured me that this was a predetermined and unchangeable future, I wouldn't have believed it myself."

"But you should talk about it, right?"

Eva couldn't help but feel deeply sorry for Guo Linglong: "Now the misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper. The people and heroes who don't know that they are being saved are venting their resentment and anger towards you."

"I do not mind……"

Guo Linglong said indifferently: "If I can't even look at this little bit of resentment, how can I control the evil of human nature?"

As they were talking, a plane suddenly appeared and flew towards the building where they were at high speed. At the moment when it was about to hit the building, the plane simply broke apart and turned into a ball of magic power and dissipated. After Xia inside the plane did a beautiful backflip to unload the inertial potential energy, she stopped steadily in front of Guo Linglong.

"Thank you for your hard work. It must be very difficult to blow up the entire city of A into such a miserable state under the eyes of so many heroes, right?"

Guo Linglong's gentle tone made Xia sigh again.

She had clearly emphasized many times that Guo Linglong should not treat her as a human being, but the man treated her more and more like a teammate rather than a slave!

“It’s not difficult.”

Xia's lips curled up unconsciously as she said, "Although there are many black technologies in this world, they don't have any way to track or counter magic, so they can't catch me so easily."

"That's good... By the way, how many people do you think have not left City A yet?"

Xia lowered her head, thought carefully and said with some hatred: "After my devastation, there are very few citizens left in City A. But because you, my master, ordered me not to kill anyone, there are still some fearless guys who insist on staying in City A. They said that they will never leave this city to surrender to you, and will stay in this city and fight you to the end... What should I do? Should I force them to leave?"

"Forget it, ignore them, let's stop the terrorist attacks here."

Guo Linglong shook her head and said, "There are fewer people living here now. The Hero Association will definitely keep a close eye on them. If you are caught, I will be very troubled. It is not worth it to sacrifice you for my willfulness."

"Willful?"

Eva looked at her little brother who was misunderstood, hated, and cursed by the people she wanted to save, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, little brother. When the Dark Matter Pirates and Boros arrive, they will understand your painstaking efforts."

"No, they won't understand..."

Guo Linglong shook her head and asked Eva, who was puzzled, softly: "Big sister, have you heard of 'Hua Tuo's brother'?"

"Hua Tuo's brother?"

Eva shook her head in confusion and said, "I do recognize Hua Tuo. He was a man with great medical skills in ancient China, right?"

"Yes, but Hua Tuo's brothers are more powerful than him."

Guo Linglong whispered, "The reason why he is not as famous as Hua Tuo is because his brothers are too strong. They can eliminate the root cause of a minor illness before it turns into a major illness, so patients don't think Hua Tuo's brothers are any good... and I am as strong as Hua Tuo's brothers."

At this point, Xia took out a cell phone and threw it to Guo Linglong, who caught it easily.

This small cell phone contains the power that can defeat the Dark Matter Pirates, as well as the power of Boros - Saitama who was forced away by him before.

"Forcing the citizens of City A to leave is just a precaution. After all, in the original work, even Saitama couldn't prevent the destruction of City A. But if Saitama and I join forces, we should be able to save City A. So those citizens won't experience the horror of Boros and the Dark Matter Pirates firsthand. They will think that this little character who was defeated by a punch is nothing, and then continue to resent me, but... I don't care."

As he was talking, Saitama, who was found by Kasumi, answered the call and quickly learned the general situation from Guo Linglong.

However, what surprised Guo Linglong a little was that Saitama did not agree to come immediately, but asked in confusion.

"I roughly understand the situation, but other than a terrorist attack on City A, isn't there a better way to persuade the citizens to leave?"

"Of course there is..."

Guo Linglong shrugged and said to Saitama on the other end of the phone, "Nothing is impossible in this world, but the method of 'getting all the citizens away without a terrorist attack' is not something I can do... After all, my talent is an evil talent that can only be used to do bad things. I can't become a hero, so I can't use normal means to get the citizens to leave here and avoid unknown disasters."
