Mechanical Hero

Chapter 3

Ormet didn't know where to go either. He asked Hikari The Lion, but the latter didn't care at all. He just left the problem to Ormet.

On the streets, almost one out of every ten people was a Mutant. Some of them had animal features on their body, and some of them had strange shapes. In short, it was hard to associate them with normal people.

Hikari The Lion found it very interesting every time he saw these people. He stopped from time to time to pay attention to these people. In fact, the simulator in his head was constantly calculating something, guessing the personalities and weaknesses of these people.

However, the passersby were not too interested. What era was this? A young man was staring at you as if you were a monkey in a zoo. Who could stand it? They all glared at Lion Shen Hao angrily. A few of them even glared back at him.

Ormet quickly bowed and apologized. He pulled Hikari The Lion away like a parent.

"Young Lion, it's impolite to stare at people like that." Ormet dragged him far away before he stopped and lectured him.

"Sorry, I've never seen these people before.

I won't do it again. "

Hikari The Lion felt that he was very reasonable. After the simulation in his head, he found that these people were pitifully weak. If a normal person was an ant that could be easily crushed, these people were at most 0.5 times bigger than an ant. In the end, they were all ants.

The young man had been in the laboratory all this time and had never come into contact with the outside world.

Ormet suddenly thought of something else. He wondered if he was too serious just now. Would he scare the young Lion?

If Hikari The Lion knew what Ormet was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. Scared by people?

He didn't even feel scared when he was surrounded and pointed at by the guards with guns.

The two of them walked one after the other. Ormet had a headache about how to get along with the young Lion. Hikari The Lion walked a few steps behind, looking around leisurely and constantly collecting information about this strange world.

Arriving in front of a small supermarket, Oermatt stopped and thought about going to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner as well as daily necessities for the Lion God.

When he first came here, Hikari The Lion said that he didn't need anything (Where's the manga?).

As long as there was water, that would be enough.

But of course, Ormet wouldn't really stop him from buying it. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Hikari The Lion could forget the darkness of the past and live like a normal teenager.

"Young Lion, let's go to the supermarket!"

"Okay." Hikari The Lion didn't care about anything.

Hikari The Lion pulled the cart and walked between the cabinets. There were some novelties and some things that were completely different from the original world. For example, snacks that he had never seen before, and strange toys. However, he only looked at them and did not have any thoughts of wanting them.

Ormet walked behind with the cart and quietly picked up the things that Lion looked at and put them into the cart.

When they arrived at the daily necessities section, Hikari The Lion curiously looked at a bottle that had the fragrance of XX written on it for a long time.

What is this XX?

Is it a fragrance unique to this world?

After looking at it for a few seconds, he didn't have any clue, so he turned around and walked away. Just when he took two steps, he noticed that the footsteps behind him stopped. Hikari The Lion looked back and saw Ormet picking up the bottle of toilet cleaner, hesitating whether he should put it into the cart or not.

There seems to be a lot of toilet cleaner in the house, but if young Lion is interested …

Ormet put the bottle in the cart. When he raised his head, he saw Hikari The Lion standing at the same place, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?"

Hikari The Lion stared at the cart that was almost full. There were some complicated emotions in his eyes. He picked up the bottle of toilet cleaner and put it back. He said helplessly, "I don't need these things."

"Oh!

It's okay, these are what I want to buy! "Ormet scratched his head and grinned.

Hikari The Lion looked at the products that he had noticed. He pursed his lips and walked quickly to the bookshelf. He picked up a new comic book and waved it at Ormet. "I'll buy this. Put the rest back!"

Ormet nodded.

Walking out of the supermarket, the two of them stood in front of the glass door with a bulging shopping bag in each hand and looked at each other.

Ormet coughed embarrassedly. "I didn't pay attention and bought too much."

With both hands carrying shopping bags, the two of them had to rush back home. They had only been out for half an hour.

Standing at the crossroad waiting for the traffic light, Ormet received a call. At this moment, the traffic light turned yellow.

A strong wind suddenly blew.

The balloon in the hand of the little girl standing beside him was blown away by the wind. The yellow balloon wobbled and floated to the middle of the road.

The little girl didn't hesitate to move her short legs and tried to catch up with the balloon. Gradually, she left the safety line.

Her mother happened to be on the phone, so she didn't notice the scene.

Hikari The Lion saw it. His amber eyes were indifferent. He didn't have the intention to stop her. He also didn't think that there was a need for him to interfere.

Just as the little girl ran to the middle of the road, a car turned from another intersection. At this time, the traffic light had turned green and they could drive normally.

The car driver sped up when he turned the corner. When he saw the little girl, he knew that it was too late …

"Jia Mei —!!"

The little girl's mother finally noticed the scene that made her heart stop.

The shopping bag in Ormet's hand slipped. He didn't have time to think. He didn't even have time to find a corner to transform.

His body expanded rapidly and he instantly became a muscular man. Fortunately, the situation was critical and no one noticed his unscientific transformation.

"Bang —"

Many of the people present had closed their eyes. They couldn't bear to see the scene of life passing away.

The little girl was hugged by someone. She stayed in the young man's arms with a confused expression. The expected pain didn't come. She stared blankly at her big brother who was protecting her.

Hikari The Lion didn't know why he rushed over. It was as if his body betrayed his consciousness. When he came back to his senses, he had already reached out and grabbed the front of the car. Sparks flew. The huge front of the car and an arm wrestled. In the end, the young man's mortal body won.

He casually retracted his hand. There was already an obvious handprint on the front of the car.

"Little girl, are you okay?" Hikari The Lion lowered his head and gently stroked the little girl's head with one hand.

To outsiders, he was comforting the frightened little girl. In fact, the Lion was only using skin contact to diagnose and treat the abrasions on the little girl's forehead.

"… It doesn't hurt anymore … Big brother, I'm okay."

The five or six-year-old little girl obviously didn't know what Hikari The Lion did. She only knew that after this big brother gently stroked her head, her wound didn't hurt anymore.

"Mika!"

The little girl's mother rushed over and tightly hugged the daughter she almost lost. She couldn't stop sobbing.

"Mom, I'm okay." The little girl sensibly raised her small hand to wipe away her mother's tears. "Mika isn't afraid at all!

Big brother protected me! "

The woman finally raised her head. Her makeup was ruined from crying. She was in an extremely sorry state. Only her eyes were filled with gratitude. "Thank you, thank you so much. Thank you for saving our Mika."

The woman sincerely thanked him. Her happy expression and the little girl's innocent and cute little face.

All of this was like a fire that slightly illuminated Hikari The Lion's heart.

He was in a daze, his hand unconsciously touching his heart. He only felt a sudden warm feeling that filled his heart, almost causing tears to flow out of his eyes.

Almost subconsciously, Hikari The Lion smiled from the bottom of his heart for the first time.

"… Thank you."

Lion didn't know who he was thanking. He just slightly raised his head and looked at the sky. A drop of tear quietly rolled down.

The surrounding crowd finally came back to their senses. The young people excitedly took out their phones to take pictures. With a click, they realized that the mysterious teenager at the scene of the accident had disappeared.

Only Ormet, with his excellent dynamic vision, caught a trace of him in the air. Just as he was about to chase after him, the people present suddenly screamed in excitement.

"It's Ormet!"

The muscular uncle was surrounded by the excited crowd in the next second. Hikari The Lion instantly disappeared.

"… I only feel like a human when I'm saving people."

"What, this old man is actually a hero?" Lion's eyes were filled with tears.

"I can only find light in the passing of life when I see the scene of that man committing suicide by lying on the rail in my memory."

I … am the villain.]

The villains in Jump will be defeated by justice in the end.

Just like me …

We're both humans who have become machines. We're the only ones who can feel the loneliness and pain of falling into the abyss.

But in the end, I'm the only one who's struggling in hell.

Countless indifferent faces laughed, scolded, mocked, and cursed him. He was a monster.

There was no place for him in human society.

He was betrayed by his good friend, alienated by his lover, mocked by strangers …

All of this should have been reduced to ashes in the explosion.

But he was saved.

Just the words of hope from the old man, affirming him, telling him that he could be a hero and that he should have a bright future.

"Give these parts to him. If a part of me can repair him, then I hope … he can be like me and take joy in saving others!"]

When he woke up again, the old man's words in his memory had come true.

Lion's eyes were filled with tears. He flew thousands of meters in the air against the wind. He had never felt so warm in his heart before. These hands, other than taking lives, had the possibility of saving lives.

Ah … God …
