Just then, a figure slowly walked towards him, and the butcher was immediately pleasantly surprised... He never expected that prey would come to him on its own initiative today; he was so lucky.
As the figure slowly approached, the moonlight illuminated his features clearly. At that moment, the "Butcher's" expression changed from surprise to extreme fear, and he immediately turned around and began to run away frantically.
Why did he come looking for him? Why did he still come to him even though he had deliberately avoided that terrifying "Grim Reaper"? He didn't even dare to think about these questions. Fear almost suffocated the "Butcher".
He dared not look back, dared not stop... The "Butcher" knew that if he slowed down now, he would only face death; that terrible "Grim Reaper" would take his life.
Heroes and police! They are the only ones who can save him now, even if it means going back to prison. The "Butcher" has no courage to face the "Grim Reaper".
The "butcher," in a hurry to escape, took a shortcut through an alley and ran away. There were many heroes and police officers patrolling tonight; he could see them as soon as he went out onto the main street.
From the dark alley, the butcher could even see the lights—the night patrol lights of the police. Overjoyed, he rushed toward them, reaching out his hand to call for help.
"save......."
Just as he was about to shout, the "Butcher," whose hand was already reaching out from the alley, had countless steel wires tightly binding his entire body from behind, even sealing his mouth so he couldn't utter a sound, slowly dragging him into the darkness...
What's that sound?!
Hearing the sounds coming from the alley, the patrolling police immediately shone their flashlights in that direction, only to find an empty alley.
"That scared me to death... I'd better rejoin the others."
The patrolling police officer shuddered slightly as he recalled the horrific scene of yesterday's incident, then went to join the other officers; it was safer to have more people around at times like this.
Chapter 168 The Third Act is about to begin
"We meet again."
"Why...why did you come to me? You're not a hero anymore, are you?!"
Why did I contact you?
If the "Butcher" was afraid, Izuku Midoriya answered him directly with his actions, waving his right hand and disappearing in a flash of silver light.
"Ahhhh!!!"
The butcher screamed in agony, his arms severed from their roots, and as before, he felt the excruciating pain deeply.
Does it hurt a lot?
Midoriya coldly stared at the enemy lying on the ground. "The Butcher" didn't even dare to raise his head to face him... Why had this terrifying "Grim Reaper" come after him again?
"Black Mist, you go back first... I have some things to do next."
"understood."
The black mist beside Midoriya gave a butler's salute, then opened a portal and disappeared. According to All For One's orders, his only task was to obey and cooperate with Midoriya Izuku's actions.
"What...what do you want to do?!"
"doing what?"
Terrified and unable to speak clearly, the "Butcher" was once again answered by Midoriya's actions. With a flash of silver light from the steel wire in his right hand, the Butcher's legs were severed, and blood gushed out.
"Ahhhhh!!"
"Please...please spare my life!"
Overwhelmed by fear, terror, and the excruciating pain of severed limbs, the butcher cried out to death before him, begging for his life.
Faced with the Butcher's heart-wrenching screams and pleas for mercy, Midoriya wore a smile. Just when the Butcher truly believed that the person before him would spare his life as before, the Grim Reaper smiled and slowly answered him:
"No way!"
The pleas for mercy abruptly ended, and with the final flash of the silver wire, the "Butcher's" head detached from his body and fell to the ground... The blood flowing from the headless corpse beneath him stained the land red.
Izuku Midoriya bent down, picked up the "Butcher's" head, and left. He now had to go somewhere.
----------------
During the day today, Izuku Midoriya arrived in this city through the "portal" of the black mist. He asked the black mist to search for information on the location of the "Butcher," while Midoriya went to do something else.
The man attacked and maimed by the "butcher" was an office worker, just like many ordinary citizens. He had his own family and a four-year-old daughter.
The police had already visited the victim's family that morning and told the victim's wife the devastating news... The four-year-old daughter had no idea why her father hadn't come home.
While Kurogiri was searching for the "Butcher's" trail, Midoriya arrived at the victim's house without knocking... He could hear the woman's pitiful cries from outside.
His heart throbbed with excruciating pain, and Midoriya involuntarily clutched his chest with his right hand. He bore an unavoidable responsibility for all of this. If he had disregarded the law and strangled that guy from the beginning, no one would have been hurt now.
There are no excuses to escape... I must bear the blame for this mistake and prevent more people from being harmed.
"Big brother, what are you doing in front of my house? And... why are you crying?"
The little girl skipped out of her house. Her father hadn't come home since last night, and her mother had been crying all day. She felt stuffy at home, so she ran out for some fresh air. Then she saw a strange older brother... Why was he crying in front of her house?
Midoriya crouched down, gently stroking the little girl's head with his right hand, and apologized to the child with tears streaming down his face:
"sorry......"
"Why...big brother, do you have to say sorry?"
"Because your older brother did something wrong, he needs to apologize to you and your mother."
"not understand......?"
Midoriya stood up, removed his right hand from the little girl's head, and turned to leave... leaving behind his final words.
"Your father won't be coming home... You must be strong from now on and take good care of your mother..."
................
Black flames burned within him. Izuku Midoriya arrived at the police station carrying the "Butcher's" head, determined to settle this matter himself.
"who!!?"
The events caused by "The Butcher" shocked the entire city. Heroes and police officers patrolled tirelessly day and night, trying to catch the enemy who committed such a cruel act. Naturally, there were also police officers on duty outside the police station at night.
As a figure slowly approached, carrying what was clearly a human head, the on-duty police officer immediately drew his gun and aimed it at Izuku Midoriya.
"Stop right there! Don't move! Or I'll shoot!!"
Midoriya stopped in his tracks and simply tossed the "Butcher's" head at the feet of the on-duty policeman with his right hand. The policeman was so startled that he almost fired his gun.
"The 'Butcher' has been killed by me; you no longer need to search the entire city."
"!!?"
The tense and surprised policeman looked at the head at his feet and realized it was indeed the wanted death row inmate. He could also see the face of the person in front of him clearly because of the moonlight.
"You are...Izuku Midoriya?"
The U.A. student who recently became an "enemy" is quite well-known. At least the police officers working in the judicial system recognized him at a glance, which made the on-duty police officers less vigilant... He knew that although the kid in front of him was now an "enemy," he had not actually done anything really bad.
"This is.....?"
Pointing to the "butcher's" head at his feet, and then to Izuku Midoriya, the police officer on duty was full of questions. What was going on?
"I killed him..."
Midoriya said slowly, without denying it, and then he turned to leave... He had done what he needed to do.
Knowing that Midoriya was now the "enemy," the police initially wanted to keep him... but after thinking it over, they decided against it. They figured it was better to leave this thankless task to the hero; they didn't want to die a glorious death.
The officer on duty was thinking of slacking off, but Midoriya, who was about to leave, stopped and turned to the officer, saying:
"Please pass on my message to the victim's family."
"I'm sorry... This is the only way I can atone for my sins. If you want to hate someone in the future, then hold a grudge against me."
After saying this, Izuku Midoriya disappeared into the night and left completely... The police officer on duty opened his mouth after hearing this, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.
It was only then that he remembered something: the death row inmate called "The Butcher" at his feet was apparently the one who had been arrested by "Steel Wire Death."
Moreover, it's said that the "butcher's" limbs were all severed, and this news went viral online for quite some time...
"Is this child... really an 'enemy'?"
Chapter 169 The Beginning of the Third
Upon receiving the news, Ormet and Officer Takuna rushed to the scene. The police had already surrounded the area and kept outsiders away. This is what the hero and the police saw after they arrived.
The headless corpse, its limbs severed, had its head delivered to the police station last night. The dead man was the escaped death row inmate known as "The Butcher," and the one who killed him was... Izuku Midoriya.
"........."
Looking at the corpses on the ground, All Might remained silent, unsure of what to say. He had no idea whether he was right or wrong. On his way here, the police officer on duty the previous night had told him about his meeting with Izuku Midoriya.
It seems that Midoriya believes that it was his fault that "The Butcher" attacked and harmed citizens after escaping from prison, which led to the current situation... Midoriya Izuku killed "The Butcher" and sent his head to the police station.
"This is bad..."
"All Might, what's wrong?"
Hearing the muttered words of the No.1 hero beside him, Officer Takuna asked with some concern. He and All Might were not only work partners, but also close friends... just like when they fought against All For One.
“Young Midoriya… he might fall into self-blame and paranoia.”
"Indeed, he would blame himself in such situations, but I don't think there's anything too worrying about, right?"
"On the contrary..."
All Might, filled with worry, recalled the "future" he had seen through Nighteye, and considered Izuku Midoriya's current situation of strangling the "Butcher".
"I'm afraid... the worst thing is about to happen."
----------------
For some reason, the "butcher" incident eventually leaked out and caused a huge uproar online. The details are as follows:
A year ago, "Butcher," a death row inmate who was captured and subdued by "Steel Wire Death," escaped from prison and brutally murdered an innocent office worker. This office worker had a happy family... his young wife and four-year-old daughter were waiting for him to come home, but now this father will never be able to return home.
A year later, the Steel Wire Reaper, who had become an "enemy" for some unknown reason, found the "Butcher" and killed him in a fit of rage. The Steel Wire Reaper handed the death row inmate's head to the police station, and at the time, he seemed to say to the officer on duty, "If the victim wants to hate, he can hate him."
.............
This situation immediately caused a huge uproar throughout Japan. Everyone was filled with interest and enthusiasm for this "Steel Wire Reaper." Later, it seemed that someone deliberately revealed information about Izuku Midoriya.
During the forest training camp, Izuku Midoriya, who was kidnapped by the League of Villains, risked his life to protect Kota. Not many people may know Kota, but everyone knows "Waterhouse." These two great heroes who died at the hands of the enemy while protecting innocent citizens are still remembered by many.
Upon hearing that "Steel Wire Reaper" had risked his life to protect the orphan of "Waterhouse," many enthusiastic and interested reporters came to his door, hoping to get specific information about Izuku Midoriya from Kota.
Later, after learning that Izuku Midoriya had been labeled an "enemy" by the police and heroes, Kota became extremely indignant. Now, with reporters visiting his home, Kota broke his promise to keep it a secret and openly confessed his hero worship.
"My brother Midoriya is a truly great hero. He could have just ignored me... but he risked his life to protect me from the enemy, just like what Mom and Dad did. And then there was the 'enemy' who killed Mom and Dad in the end."
"He deserved to die at Midoriya's hands. I don't care what the bullshit law thinks, but there's only one thing I know!"
“My brother Midoriya is my hero. He risked his life to protect me and punished the bad guys who killed my parents.”
After the interview with Kota, the reporter recorded the information and broadcast it as a news report, which caused another sensation. The interview with the person in question could not contain false information, and at the same time, there was another bombshell being created.
But why did Izuku Midoriya become an "enemy"?
When everyone was curious about the situation, the person involved finally came forward to explain it clearly.
The former leader of the "Shie Hassaikai" personally explained that Izuku Midoriya was defined as an "enemy" because he broke into the "Shie Hassaikai" and cut off the young leader's hands. Such a heinous crime and serious offense was why he was defined as an "enemy".
As if he were adding fuel to the fire, the former leader of the "Shie Hassaikai" had two purposes for coming forward to clarify things. The first was to help his "benefactor" Izuku Midoriya clear his name, and the second was to explain the situation of his granddaughter Eri, as he did not want to see his beloved granddaughter being pointed at and gossiped about.
The young master of the "Shie Hassaikai," Chisaki, acted recklessly, cruelly experimenting on Eri. When Izuku Midoriya learned of this, he sought help from heroes and the police, but to no avail. Thus, the "Steel Wire Reaper" disregarded legal constraints and insisted on rescuing and helping Eri.
After the truth came out, those who had slandered Eri took the initiative to apologize. They also expressed their sympathy for the poor little girl's plight. At the same time, the topic of Izuku Midoriya became even more popular, and the discussion about "Steel Wire Reaper" had surpassed that of All Might.
The news about Izuku Midoriya exploded online, and All Might's ominous premonition finally surfaced after learning about it. He finally understood what All For One was really up to.
----------------
"Not bad...very good..."
Looking at the news circulating online, the smile on All For One's face was terrifying. The reason he valued Izuku Midoriya was not only because of the future he foresaw with his Night Eyes, but also because of everything Midoriya did.
This pure desire to save and help others makes him more like a true "hero" than many professional heroes in today's society.
All For One was extremely dissatisfied. He hated All Might... and even more so the hero society established by All Might. This hypocritical peace truly disgusted him to the core.
Even if All Might were willing to use the power of One For All to enslave and control this society, he wouldn't intend to take revenge on the enemy who destroyed his empire. However... there's one thing he doesn't agree with!
All Might, like his foolish brother, rebelled against himself for a bunch of ungrateful ants, and in the end, he laughed like a clown to please them.
"You're laughing like an idiot. I'll make you truly feel despair."
First, the long-established network needs to be reclaimed, and Izuku Midoriya is used to create fallacies and split this hypocritical hero society.
