Genos, Leap of Faith
The group that left the laboratory quickly figured out the source of the explosion.
Several buildings not far away were engulfed in flames, emitting low-frequency crackling and popping sounds.
The protesters seemed to have considerable prejudice against the association, and their protests went beyond mere words.
The Hero Association building was constructed using special materials, so the staff were not alarmed.
They watched the parade calmly, completely unfazed, and even chatted and laughed.
Among the protesters, many young and middle-aged men were carrying Molotov cocktails and explosive devices.
Along both sides of the parade, people held up banners that read, "For everyone's safety, please disband the Hero Association!"
These banners, painted in red, look like a petition written in blood by ten thousand people, giving them a powerful and imposing appearance.
Protests erupted from the crowd.
"They're just a bunch of fame-seeking bastards; they can't be called heroes at all!"
"We strongly demand the disbandment of the Hero Association!"
"Before the Hero Association was established, monster attacks were never this frequent!"
"The Grandmaster is right, there is a cause for every effect! It is precisely because there are so many heroes that there are so many eccentric people!"
"Take down these heroes, and we'll be safe!"
"But... they're not bad people, there's no need for them to go so far, is there?"
"Think carefully about your parents, wife, and children. If you don't take down these heroes, your family will be killed by monsters!"
"Can we defeat them?"
"Of course! They are heroes! A hero is someone who would never lay a hand on ordinary people!"
The Reincarnator looked at each other, momentarily unable to comprehend the current situation.
Are the average Intelligence Water of ordinary humans in this world too low, or have they been overly brainwashed by the heroism of anime and movies?
Heroes don't lay a hand on ordinary people...
Who made this rule?
At least in their original world, historical figures, whether powerful or heroic, were all people whose hands were stained with the blood of the people.
"Ha!"
Draco Malfoy let out a sinister laugh, brushing aside the stray hairs on his forehead. His crimson Dragon eyes gleamed with a demonic light. "Human Charm?"
"No, it has nothing to do with magic."
Hermione's wand turned into mist and dispersed, then solidified into a wrist guard on her wrist.
She said, "These people showed no signs of hypnosis; their actions were spontaneous."
Two naive new Reincarnator, confused about what had happened, decided to listen to the opinions of their companions.
At this moment, Tyrion Lannister, the dwarf, suddenly sneered, "A small group of leaders are paid spies, while the other group..."
"They're just ordinary people who follow the crowd and echo what others say."
Tyrion paused for a moment, then added, "Interest and public opinion are always the most powerful weapons for those in power to control ignorant commoners."
He had seen too many similar things.
In the A Song of Ice and Fire world, where the fates of the Reincarnator were disrupted, he even actively instigated several "popular uprisings."
At that moment, a sonic boom sounded in everyone's ears.
Bang!
A heavy object fell, sending dust flying everywhere.
As the dust settled, the Reincarnator could clearly see the appearance of the newcomer.
With his golden, tousled hair, and his body largely modified by mechanical means, one could even see the exposed pure black mechanical bionic skeletal muscle fibers on his neck and arms.
He had a handsome face, and the whites of his eyes were completely black, which, combined with his Pure Gold pupils, gave him an unusual charm.
"I am Genos, the trainee hero of the association, and I have come here under the orders of Chairman Wang Yan."
The robot looked the new Reincarnator over in disbelief, then approached Kaneki Ken as if no one else was there. "Are you the one in charge?"
Kaneki Ken for a moment, then nodded slightly, agreeing with the other party's statement.
He had seen the other party's information before.
Genos, 16 years old, is a cyborg created by Dr. Kusno.
A year ago, his home was destroyed by a rampaging cyborg. To avenge his family, with the help of the doctor, he abandoned his weak body and voluntarily underwent modification to become a robot in order to gain power.
This is a cold and ruthless young man.
Once he identifies a life form as an "enemy," he will kill it without hesitation, even if the other party is completely incapacitated and begs for mercy on its knees.
For some reason, Wang Yan favored him, kept him by his side, and gave him various tasks as training.
"The president asked me to deliver a message..."
Genos glanced expressionlessly at the protesters, then turned to Kaneki Ken, mimicking Wang Yan's tone, and said verbatim, "This emergency is now in your hands."
Hero...
He didn't quite understand the meaning of the word.
Of all the people in the association, Genos felt there were only three he could learn from.
President Wang Yan, Teacher Saitama, Unregistered Knight.
In Genos's view, they represent wisdom and philosophy, ultimate power, and belief and will, respectively.
He didn't want to have much interaction with these people.
"Any way is fine?"
Kaneki Ken looked at Genos with a half-smile.
"My task is simply to convey the president's instructions; how you interpret them is up to you."
After Genos finished speaking, flames shot out from under his feet.
With a buzzing sound, his figure vanished without a trace.
After Genos left, the Ju Zi- haired rookie Reincarnator who called himself "Ichigo Kurosaki" suddenly raised his hand and pointed southeast.
"Um?"
Kaneki Ken an eyebrow slightly and glanced sideways in the direction of Ichigo Kurosaki's finger.
Several bald monks hid among the crowd, looking rather furtive.
Based on what the protesters said before, these guys are most likely the instigators of this march and the paid online trolls who have taken benefits from it.
Holding the monster's file in his left hand, Ichigo Kurosaki looked up and chuckled, "My ability can only be used for self-defense and defense; I don't have any means of launching an attack... Who's going to deal with these guys?"
"I'll do it."
Two voices rang in everyone's ears at the same time.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Blue-purple light and shadow intertwined with sword energy...
In the blink of an eye, several of the most vocal protesters and the monks who had incited the crowd died on the spot.
Of those who died tragically on the spot, half of them died cleanly, except for a little red mark between their eyebrows.
Apart from that, he had no other injuries.
This was written by Green Lotus Sword Immortal Li Bai.
"The sword of the great river... comes from the sky."
With his eyes closed, Li Bai Demon Suppressing Sword transformed into a stream of light and fell into the sword box on his back.
Compared to the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's nonchalant attitude, the unfortunate soul who was killed by another person was much more tragic.
Their bodies were mostly broken into dozens of fragments, intertwined together, so that it's probably impossible to find even a complete skeleton suitable for burial.
Clang!
The life-sized weapon of slaughter transformed into a miniature scythe half a foot long and flew into Kayn's hand.
"This weapon is much more difficult to use Rhaast."
Kayn stroked the blood-stained giant scythe in his hand, a hint of reminiscence flashing in his cold eyes.
After speaking, he turned to the side and looked defiantly at the top of the building two hundred meters to the southwest.
Across from them, a man in a white hooded shirt seemed to chuckle softly before leaping off the roof of a building over a hundred meters high.
The familiar scene made Kayn grit his teeth.
That is...
Leap of Faith.
