Identity Exposed
A few hours later, with a crisp sound, one of Oboro's game controllers was crushed by Saitama, whose face was ashen.
"Genos, let's go."
Saitama slowly stood up and said in a stiff voice.
The way he looked at me was like he wanted to devour me.
That's right, after the usual exchange, Saitama and Oboro started another game competition.
The result was predictable: the bald man was once again brutally murdered by Oboro in front of his new disciple.
Oboro's gaming skills surprised and impressed even Genos.
In his opinion, the teacher's game controls were flawless; his fingers moved incredibly fast, and the timing of his character's attacks was excellent. But for some reason, he just couldn't win. It felt like Long had anticipated all of the teacher's offensive and defensive strategies.
Perfectly controlled.
"It's a teacher."
Genos quickly stood up and followed Saitama away.
Before leaving, he bowed to Longyou, showing great courtesy.
"Give me back my controller... Why are you running away?!"
Oboro called out.
It's like playing mahjong or poker; you can't say Saitama's sportsmanship is bad... it's extremely bad.
"Feel sorry."
In the end, it was Genos who cleaned up Saitama's mess. Before leaving, he left Oboro a stack of banknotes as compensation.
"They shouldn't suspect me..." After closing the door, Oboro put down the handle and muttered to himself.
Genos already knows Saitama's lifestyle and social circle; he's all alone.
Therefore, it's quite normal for Genos to have his eye on him.
Moreover, the timing of Saitama being spied on and the time he arrived at the apartment coincided remarkably well.
This inevitably raises suspicions.
However, at present, Oboro's greatest advantage is that neither Saitama nor Genos can see through his 'depth'.
In Genos's eyes, he was just an ordinary person.
As for Saitama, although it's clear he has some strength, I don't think I'm on par with the 'man in the suit'.
Because the soul aura released by Oboro was only a very small part, used to match his identity, background, and so-called enemy factors, etc., to create a kind of deception for Saitama.
A few days later, the morning news reported that a group of terrorists had appeared in F-City, causing chaos.
It was the Paradisers.
The leader was a Class B wanted criminal, Hammerhead.
That's right, it's that group of bald guys who look similar to Saitama.
Oboro wasn't particularly interested in these characters, so he naturally didn't follow Saitama to F-City... As for the wealthy Zeniru and Speed-o'-Sound Sonic, he wasn't interested either. Perhaps the only thing he'd find interesting was witnessing Saitama 'exploding' Speed-o'-Sound Sonic's testicles, but given the previous incident at the House of Evolution, Oboro decided to be on the safe side and not follow Saitama.
He has some other things to take care of today.
"The New Hero Association?"
Around noon, Oboro stood at the entrance of the Neo Heroes building with two other people.
One of them looked up at the tall building in front of him and swallowed hard.
"Are you from the New Hero Association?"
"It doesn't count, does it..."
Long chuckled softly.
At that moment, he was wearing a tracksuit.
He no longer wore a suit.
Beside him stood Dr. Genus of the House of Evolution and the only cyborg, the Armored Gorilla.
After the events at the House of Evolution concluded, Oboro immediately contacted Genus, inviting him to join the Neo Heroes. The reason was simple: to utilize Genus's research expertise to help the New Hero Association organize and filter the 'scientific findings' collected. If possible, she also wanted to improve the quality of the 'findings' and create a comprehensive statistical report. These items were all items Oboro planned to bring back to Hunter x Hunter.
Genus is a talented person... Of course, Oboro wouldn't waste this manpower.
However, after witnessing Saitama's power and the destruction of the House of Evolution, Genus realized that his beliefs and goals were nothing but a joke... So, now he just wants to be an ordinary person.
However, he was eventually persuaded by Oboro.
Oboro encouraged him to use his knowledge to benefit humanity. Although Genus still saw ordinary people as degenerated monkeys, his Genus had changed after the Saitama incident. In addition, Oboro promised to provide him with a sufficiently excellent 'platform' and encouraged him to 'benefit humanity,' suggesting that he might become a great scientist. In the end, he finally persuaded Genus.
Genus initially didn't believe the stranger, but he didn't expect that the platform Oboro mentioned... would actually be the New Hero Association!
Genus naturally knew some of the inside information about this organization.
Long led the two into the building, where they met Zhu Li, the current leader of the Association.
At this time, Zhu Li was still not fully recovered and looked like an old man over fifty years old.
When he met Long, his eyes were filled with both fear and panic.
His attitude toward Long was extremely humble.
This scene shocked Genus immensely... and he couldn't help but doubt Oboro's true identity.
Neo offered Genus a very generous package... there was no reason for him to refuse.
Ultimately, Genus successfully joined the Association.
Besides his scientific expertise, another reason Oboro chose Genus was that he had his eye on the House of Evolution's S-class hero, Zombie Man. Zombie Man was an escaped experimental subject from the House of Evolution, possessing astonishing regenerative abilities that would be extremely useful for humanity's future exploration of the Dark Continent after returning to Hunter x Hunter.
Judging from Oboro's experience, even the most top-tier Nen user will die at any time once they venture deep into the Dark Continent. If they had an 'immortality ability' as a trump card, the situation would be much better.
After settling Genus and the gorilla, Oboro briefly reviewed the 'technical data' that Zhu Li had given him and then left.
These research findings were all recorded on paper... otherwise they could not be included in the system.
When she returns to Hunter x Hunter, Oboro will have to convert this massive amount of data into text for the Hunter x Hunter... which is quite a workload.
However, on the way back to Z-City...
Unexpectedly, someone stopped them.
A boy.
The other person appeared in front of Oboro, hands in their pockets.
It was leaning against a utility pole.
It seems we've been waiting for quite some time.
It was dusk, and Long was walking on a rather remote country road, not in a hurry to go home.
When Jianlong appeared, the boy opened his eyes, straightened up, and stepped to stand in the middle of the intersection.
Long also stopped and looked at him.
A slight smile appeared on his lips.
He had already learned about the situation from Zhu Li... The boy in front of him was not present when he infiltrated the Neo Heroes, faced the assembled team of heroes, and manipulated all the Association's top leaders.
This boy is none other than Blue, who is only 16 years old.
The son of the Blast.
He was also the de facto leader and creator of the original New Hero Association.
Blue already knew everything Oboro had done, but he didn't try to change the fact that Oboro had replaced him as the leader of the Association, because... he couldn't.
The entire senior management of the Association has been brainwashed by Long.
As for the puppet Zhu Li, he dared not even entertain the thought of rebelling against Long.
He was completely stripped of his power and became a commander without any real authority.
So, during this time, Blue has been researching and collecting all information related to the enemy.
And today, after Oboro appeared in the Association, he blocked the target.
Longyi knew from the start that someone was following him, which is why he walked back; otherwise, he would have flown away long ago.
Modified humans.
Looking at the boy in front of him, Long raised an eyebrow.
Blast's son, like Genos, is also a cyborg.
Moreover, the majority of heroes within the Neo Heroes are actually cyborgs, which is completely different from the Hero Association.
Otherwise, Oboro wouldn't have targeted the Neo Heroes and had them collect various scientific research results.
"You... are you from another universe?"
Blue and Oboro stared at each other, and the next second, Blue uttered a surprising statement, his tone resolute.
Upon hearing this, Long immediately smiled.
