Heroes Return

“No, we can’t give an evaluation if we don’t participate,” Xiao Zhan said.

“Indeed, it’s easier to just follow them, but they seem to be at their wits’ end. I heard they’re planning to launch a biochemical product ahead of schedule and then make a deal with another organization.” Thirteen said over there, “I’m about to make my move. Glasses, bring me some weapons. Oh, and some spicy strips too.”

"Don't call me Glasses! Call me by my name Yan Qing or Teleporter, that's fine too."

The guy with glasses is named Yan Qing, and he's also a rare spatial ability user, though he can only switch places between himself and the glasses he's worn. And now, each member of his team has a pair of glasses that he once wore.

"Good glasses."

"I understand, glasses."

"Okay, glasses. Don't forget the spicy strips."

"..." The next moment, the bespectacled man appeared in Lin Jie and Xiao Zhan's line of sight, holding a set of special equipment and a large bag of spicy strips.

"As long as you brought this, that's fine." Thirteen took the spicy strip.

"Just how much do you guys love spicy strips?! Our team should be renamed the Spicy Strip Team!" Glasses said from the side. In the past two weeks, the three of them had eaten at least three large boxes of spicy strips.

Just then, one of the parties involved in the transaction drove over a dilapidated truck and opened the container on it. Inside, something resembling a nutrient tank appeared. However, just as the two parties were about to complete the transaction, the truck seemed to suddenly malfunction and started moving on its own, then crashed headfirst into an abandoned sewage pool at the factory.

"What do we do?" the bespectacled man asked.

"Let's see how things go first," Thirteen said.

In the short time it took for the two to speak, a huge explosion occurred in the sewage pool, and then a giant monster formed from sewage appeared in everyone's sight.

“It’s time for us to take action,” Xiao Zhan said to Lin Jie.

"Okay, I'll be right there." With that, Lin Jie walked towards the small door on the rooftop.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Zhan asked Lin Jie curiously.

"Go down to the top floor, then take the elevator," Lin Jie said.

“That would be too much trouble. Since I brought you to the rooftop, it means I was prepared.” Xiao Zhan said, taking out a pair of metal shoes: “Remember the reaction force gloves I used when we first met? I successfully applied those gloves to shoes, and I named them Reaction Force Flying Shoes. Oh, and I also prepared a pair for you.”

"..." Lin Jie looked at the shoes in his hand, then at Xiao Zhan who had already flown away like a deflated balloon, and decisively threw the shoes away: "I'd better take the elevator."

Meanwhile, Thirteen and Glasses Brother saw from the shadows that the boss of the deal seemed to press something in his hand, and then the huge sewage monster quieted down.

"Get ready, let's take down that monster first." Thirteen said as he picked up a stun gun.

The guy with glasses also pulled out a dozen pairs of glasses from his pocket.

Thirteen casually threw the spicy strip in his hand at the sewage monster, and then he and Glasses rushed out.

"You're illegally trading biochemicals, be prepared to face the consequences!" the bespectacled man said, throwing his glasses away before pulling out two stun guns.

As the men of both sides opened fire on them, the man with glasses deftly dodged the enemy's shots by switching glasses with him. Just then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

As the spicy snack that Thirteen had run away with entered the body of the sewage monster, the leader of the trading party was surprised to find that the control device in his hand had lost its effect. Meanwhile, the sewage monster began to go berserk.

After a long, dirty tentacle swept across, only Glasses Guy and Thirteen remained.

"This..." The bespectacled man was dumbfounded: "How did that sewage monster suddenly swallow their own people?"

"I don't know. The only explanation is that I threw the spicy strips in just now," Thirteen said.

"Just how potent are these spicy strips?!" the bespectacled guy exclaimed. "Oh no, run!"

Looking at the sewage monster that was constantly wriggling in his direction, the bespectacled man exclaimed, "Is there any way to kill it? I don't want to be soaking in sewage."

"I'll give it a try." Thirteen said, firing at the sewage monster in front of him, and then throwing a grenade. Seeing that it had no effect, Thirteen turned and ran in another direction: "It's no use, there's no way to do it, those few shots were already my maximum output."

"Damn it!" the bespectacled guy cursed and started running away as well. "Where did you get that confidence from when you charged in? Your attack power is trash."

"Thinking about it, I'm good at stealth, so face-to-face combat doesn't seem to be my forte," Thirteen said. "Speaking of which, don't you have any ideas?"

"I'm just a deliveryman! What can I do?"

"I saw you shouting slogans quite loudly when you rushed over just now."

"Even making a show of force won't work."

"As expected, you're good for nothing except for your glasses!"

However, the sewage monster in front of them didn't seem to be very interested in the two of them. After chasing them for a while, the sewage monster abandoned them and ran off in another direction.

"Oh no! That's the direction of the city!" the bespectacled man exclaimed in alarm.

"I saw him." Lin Jie's voice came through the communicator: "Don't worry, I'm waiting for him in the city."

Watching the sewage monster steadily advancing in this direction, Lin Jie couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Although it was far away, a disgusting stench had already reached his nose.

"Get this done quickly, then we can go home." Lin Jie thought to himself as he faced the giant sewage monster. He swung his spiked club with great force at the monster, sending a large amount of sewage flying and splashing all over the street, filling the entire street with a stench.

People who had originally planned to watch superheroes fight monsters started to hide.

Lin Jie's swing of the bat did not hinder the monster's advance; instead, it dirtied a lot of the streets.

The only consolation was that Lin Jie's blow actually brought out several criminal suspects who had been swallowed by the sewage monster.

"Damn it! I hate liquid monsters the most!" Lin Jie said, and a noticeable flow of air began to emanate from his body.

"Wait! Don't hit me! If you keep hitting me, our food street will only be able to sell stinky tofu!"

Just as Lin Jie was gathering his strength for a powerful attack, a voice from the crowd told him to stop, and many people around him echoed the call.

"Tch!" Lin Jie had no choice but to jump back a step, look at the crowd of onlookers, and think to himself, "Times have changed so fast! I remember when I was a hero, everyone would run away for their lives when they saw a monster. Now, they just stand by and watch whenever they get the chance, and even point and whisper!"

"Don't worry, brother, I'm coming, I'm coming... I'm here!!" Xiao Zhan's voice rang out in the air.

"They've flown back," Lin Jie said, looking at Xiao Zhan circling in the air.

“Look, look…come on…I still need to improve this,” Xiao Zhan said.

"Do you have a solution?" Lin Jie asked over the communicator. But he didn't have a chance to ask again, because Xiao Zhan had already plunged into the sewage.

"...Forget it, I'll just unleash my ultimate!" Lin Jie glanced at Xiao Zhan, whose body was still half-exposed.

Just then, a miraculous thing happened: the sewage Xiao Zhan walked on quickly turned into clear water. Xiao Zhan also took this opportunity to break free from the sewage monster's body.

"What happened?" Lin Jie asked, dodging the tentacles of the sewage monster as he met up with Xiao Zhan. "How did you turn him into clean water?"

"This should be the effect of my brand new 'Plasma Stain Remover 2000'." Xiao Zhan said, taking out two short sticks, from which a 'whooshing' vibration could be heard from time to time: "I have improved upon the previous versions. Not only can it powerfully wipe away dust and grease, this version has reached the point where it can purify any kind of dirt."

"Putting everything else aside, explain to me what's going on with the vibration function on this thing?" Lin Jie said.

"Vibration is nothing! I can even swing!" Xiao Zhan said, and the tip of the vibrating plasma cleaning stick in his hand began to swing. "Leave this monster to me."

Are you sure you don't want to blur this thing when you show it off?

"I can consider it next time."

……

chapter Ten

The vibrating plasma cleaning stick 2000 in Xiao Zhan's hand was quite efficient in a sense. He just swept the stick around and large amounts of sewage on the sewage monster turned into clean water and fell off the sewage monster's body.

The sewage monster's tentacles were completely disintegrated in minutes by the cleaning stick in Xiao Zhan's hand.

"It's time to let people see my strength." Xiao Zhan said as he turned the cleaning stick in his hand to the highest power, and a loud vibration rang out.

With a powerful tremor, Xiao Zhan charged fiercely towards the sewage monster in front of him.

……

When Thirteen and Glasses arrived at the scene, this was what they saw.

Xiao Zhan was soaking wet, holding a strangely shaped vibrating dildo that was constantly swaying. He was poking and prodding at a similarly drenched little girl. The little girl was completely naked and soaking wet, kneeling on the ground, her face flushed and panting.

"Scumbag! Let go of that little girl!" the bespectacled man shouted as he charged at Xiao Zhan. "I can't believe you're this kind of person! I'm calling the police!"

“That’s right!” Lin Jie said from the side, “This kind of scum should be castrated.”

After saying that, Lin Jie walked over and snatched the stain remover from Xiao Zhan's hand.

"This..." Xiao Zhan blushed: "It's a misunderstanding. She is actually the true form of that sewage monster! Didn't Lin Jie see it? I just felt sorry for her when she fell into the sewage pool and turned into a monster, so I wanted to clean her up."

“I can vouch for that,” Lin Jie said. “But leave this bizarre thing to me.”

After saying that, Lin Jie took the stick he had just snatched and walked towards the little girl in front of him.

"Scum! How can someone with impure thoughts like you do such a thing?" Thirteen grabbed Lin Jie's outstretched hand: "This kind of thing should be left to someone with pure thoughts like me."

"You're drooling, you bastard!" Xiao Zhan yelled. "This thing is my weapon, so it's better for me to do this, right?"

Listening to the conversation between the three men, "Glasses Guy" shouted to the stunned onlookers, "Can anyone lend me their phone? There are three perverts here, I need to call the police."

……

The four men stared silently at the little girl in front of them, who was wearing a coat and was trembling uncontrollably under their gaze.

“Loli... what should we do? Should we hand it over to the relevant departments for research?” Xiao Zhan said.

“A loli… that’s a real problem. I just can’t bring myself to fight her,” Thirteen said.

“This is indeed a difficult situation. How about I just kill him and end it all?” Lin Jie said.

"Lin Jie! What's your zodiac sign? How can you be so cold-blooded?" the bespectacled man shouted.

"Tch, this world really is a world that judges by appearances. She's the culprit who caused twelve people to suffer from severe oxygen deprivation and three to die," Lin Jie said. "The charge of killing her could have been established long ago."

"That won't work either," the bespectacled man shouted angrily. "The people she hurt were bad people too, and I believe she herself didn't want to end up like that."

"Then there's nothing I can do," Lin Jie said.

"Speaking of which, was she really in a frenzy because of that bag of spicy strips?" Xiao Zhan asked curiously.

“There’s no other explanation besides that,” Thirteen said. “Her outburst started after I threw that bag of spicy strips.”

“Okay, I’ve decided. From now on, whenever I do a chemistry experiment, I’ll add some spicy strips and see how it reacts,” Xiao Zhan said from the side. “I have to admit that the gutter oil in spicy strips is indeed a very unique ingredient.”

"Leaving aside your experiment for now, what should we do with this little girl?" the bespectacled man asked.

"What would you do if you saw a wild little girl on the street?" Lin Jie asked.

“Take him home,” Thirteen said.

"I'll bring my family along to do research or something," Xiao Zhan said.

"We really should bring them back," Lin Jie said.

"I think I'll call the police and have you three perverts arrested," the guy with glasses said from the side.
