Individuality.

It was a change that came with the cry of the first luminous baby in the distant but familiar era.

From the cry of the horn, all kinds of babies with superpowers called "individuality" were born one after another, opening the curtain of the individuality generation.

It was like a highly concentrated catalyst. Under its effect, humans' abilities that were imprisoned by the known knowledge were redeveloped. Countless new fields and worlds were unearthed. In the big secret called "world", it helped humans open the boxes that hid the secret treasures and overcome the difficulties that once troubled them.

The productive forces of society were like the shafts of a fierce horse. The crazy, high-speed wheels were galloping in the era, driving the whole society into a new industrial revolution named "individuality". It began to subvert the structure of the whole society on a grand scale.

Just like how humans before the millennium couldn't understand the era of big data ten years later, people before the individuality generation couldn't imagine the chaos and prosperity of everything in the era of high utilization and research and development of individuality.

Economy, medicine, military, entertainment, culture, crime … No matter what field, people once foresaw, hoped, hated, and uncontrollable things, because of the start of the individuality generation, had an unprecedented expansion and development.

One of the new occupations that came with it was "hero". This job that once existed in comics and novels became more and more popular because of the arrival of the individuality generation of the sixth generation.

In the sixth generation of society where the "individuality" rate reached 85%, the popularity of superpower "individuality" also brought about countless bad cases of using their "individuality" to commit crimes.

And the existence of "heroes" was to —

"Defeat all the bad guys!

Maintain peace and justice!

Fulfill these with action! "The boy standing on the chair raised the hero" doll "on his arm, his eyes shining.

The adults watching over him were amused by the boy's clumsy pose, imitating the moves of the "doll" seen on TV.

"No!

Maintaining peace and justice is an old-fashioned hero's ambition, it's already outdated!

The ambition of a hero should be like the "heartbreaker", becoming a high tax payer who is worshipped by people! "

Another little boy raised his head and objected to his companion's speech. From the way he spoke and the black and orange sportswear he was wearing, it was not difficult to see that he was a little "heartbreaker".

The parent of the little "explosive fan" helplessly frowned and sighed at the people around him. He shrugged and shook his head.

It could be seen that the child had become a fan of "Heartbreaker", a bad-tempered hero with a mixed reputation, which gave the parent a headache. However, out of respect for the child's preferences, the parent did not intervene.

"None of them are right.

You're all wrong.

A hero's ambition was to dress up beautifully and use their beauty to inspire their comrades in battle and the injured people!

And then … "The last girl to speak lifted her dress and twirled it in a circle, showing off the beautiful bow on it. As she spoke, she couldn't help but hold her blushing face, and the part of her imagination fell into longing and sweetness.

"Then, it's okay, it's okay … to marry a handsome and perfect man like the hero 'Scorching And Freezing'."

Oh, the handsomeness of the famous hero "Scorching And Freezing" was an indispensable part of his high popularity.

It was claimed that his female fans were "up to eighty and down to August. The younger ones had just learned how to crawl, and the older ones had just left." However, when he saw that his six-year-old daughter was obsessed with him, the girl's father pressed his chest with a stifled heart and whispered to his wife, "If I had known, I wouldn't have let her watch the clip of the hero's handsomeness."

However, his wife's eyes lit up. She did not see her husband's stifled heart at all. She happily picked up her daughter and encouraged the little girl, "Okay, baby!

That's the aura!

Mommy has already married your father, so there's no chance.

But you must inherit Mommy's mantle.

With the goal of becoming a beautiful hero and reaching the high mountain flower Bombardment Scorch! "

"Okay, Mommy!

I will definitely reach the Bombardment Scorch and make him come back to serve you tea, cook for you, and call you Mommy! "

The little girl's father was speechless.

The man's depressed look made the other two couples present laugh out loud.

However, the children could not see what was so funny about the adults who were friends with each other.

However, they looked at each other's clothes and accessories again when they first met each other. Hmph, they confirmed with each other's eyes that they were fans of each other.

Okay, it was time to argue.

"The number one hero on the Hero Bulletin Board is still 'Marionette.' It's obvious that 'Marionette' is the strongest hero!"

"That's because he even helped old ladies cross the road, okay?

He doesn't have the value of a hero at all.

If you ask me, earning a lot and having a unique temperament like 'Heartbreaker' is the way of the king! "

"No, no!

He has to be handsome!

Someone with a personality like 'Scorching And Freezing' who is half cold and half hot is the best! "

The children chattered and jumped together. Their flushed faces looked very lively in the eyes of the adults.

However, in the large open booth of the dessert shop in the shopping mall, although the shop owner had used his own "personality" to set up special soundproofing for each booth, if they continued playing like this, they would eventually affect other people in the neighboring booths. The parents hurriedly separated them one by one.

"Okay, okay.

No matter what kind of hero you have or what kind of hero you like, it's all very good. "

The way the adults mediated seemed very perfunctory in the eyes of the children who liked 'Heartbreaker.' He was about to jump up and reiterate his "Heartbreaker is the best!"

Concept. The projection above the booth of the dessert shop that was playing a lip gloss advertisement was suddenly cut off. The beautiful female broadcaster in the projection was hurriedly fixing her headset.

The adults hurriedly began to pick up the children and tidy up their belongings. Once the projection in such a public place began to broadcast the news urgently, it was mostly because a "personality crime" had happened nearby. The Heroes Society used this method to inform the people nearby to evacuate.

The people in the booth stood up anxiously and looked at the female broadcaster above their heads. There was a small-scale riot in the shopping mall, and the crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Just like in the booth, there were many parents who stood up with their children.

This was because there was a large place for "personality" diagnosis nearby. Most of the parents came here to temporarily rest for the sake of diagnosing their children's "personality."

"It can't be.

Did a personality crime happen near here? "

"A crime that even a diagnosis place with a large number of heroes couldn't eliminate?

Such a crime that requires evacuation must be very dangerous. "

"Sigh, the heroes in the diagnosis place are all support-type heroes, not combat-type heroes.

So the criminal might be very strong … But let's hurry up and leave. "

For a moment, the huge shopping mall was in a state of panic. The parents in the booth nervously carried their children and planned to evacuate with the rest of the crowd.

However, when the little boy who liked hero "dolls" was picked up by his mother, he habitually looked around. When he saw a guest in a black trench coat and a black hat sitting in the booth next to them, he blinked and tugged at his mother's sleeve. "Mom, it's not a criminal attack."

The parents were stunned. They saw the boy point at the box next to the guest in black and say, "If it's really an enemy attack, then the hero of 'Ju Ke & Partners' wouldn't be here drinking coffee."

The box next to the guest's hand was printed with a silver bellflower logo — it was the emblem of the famous hero firm, Ju Ke & Partners.

Looking at it this way, the guest whose face couldn't be seen seemed to have the aura of a hero on TV.

The parents' expressions softened. Just as the adults were about to praise the observant little boy, the female streamer, who had finished organizing the press release, began to read the news flash with a serious expression.

"This is an emergency news break.

Just now, Ju Ke & Partners released a statement saying that their hero, 'Libra,' has submitted his resignation letter to the JP Heroes Society ten days ago, and it has been officially approved today.

This means that the professional hero, 'Libra,' who was once ranked second on the JP Heroes Bulletin Board and is now ranked fourth on the list, will be leaving his position as a professional hero … "

The female streamer's sweet voice instantly silenced the bustling shopping mall. Whether it was the people who wanted to leave, the people who were in a daze, or the ignorant children, they all quieted down in an instant. The entire world seemed to have lost its voice with this news.

The female streamer's sweet voice in the past was now like an electric drill. It made the boy, who had deduced that it was not an enemy attack, feel his mind buzzing.

The whole world was blank in his mind. He didn't know when the world became noisy. The shop owner withdrew his personality in extreme shock, and the shop assistants began to prepare to close the shop. Perhaps they were planning to go to the Heroes Society with many anxious people to ask about the retirement of the hero, 'Libra.'

More people chose to ask the television station whether it was a late April Fool's joke, broadcast an accident, or whether there was any mistake at the headquarters of the Heroes Society through the Internet or by phone.

However, there were still many people who were stunned as if they had heard bad news. They didn't know what to do and exchanged questions with each other with worried expressions.

"It's a lie, right? That's the hero, 'Libra.' She's only 26 years old. How can she retire!"

"She's the hostess of the JP Heroes Society, one of the role models of the new generation of heroes. Is this a joke?"

"Is it a big financial group who controlled the society to force her to retire?

Didn't 'Libra' reject the olive branch of a few scandalous financial groups a few weeks ago?

Is it an inside story of Jinyuan? "

"Our country's Heroes Society actually agreed to this application?!

Have the brains of those old men who drink tea in the office finally gone completely haywire? "

A few parents were also in a daze in shock. They were confused and didn't know what to do.

In the end, it was the cries of the little girl among the three children that brought them back to their senses.

"I don't believe it!

Sob sob sob, I don't believe it. It's all a lie! "

A string of tears fell from the girl's beautiful face. Her face, which had been shining because of the hero, 'Scorching And Freezing,' was now filled with disbelief and sadness.

The parents quickly comforted their daughter and wiped her tears with handkerchiefs.

However, the adults were still in a state of confusion, shock, and confusion. The words they used to comfort their crying daughter were not very convincing. They could only coax her with gifts and candy.

In the booth next door, the unknown hero from the 'Platycodon' firm, who was dressed in black, looked up at the noisy families opposite him. He got up, picked up the special box with the platycodon flowers, and left the booth. Just as he passed by the little girl who was being comforted by her family, he heard the little girl throw away the pink bracelet around 'Libra' as if she was venting. At the same time, she screamed and announced:

"Liar!

Libra is a liar!

She said on TV that she would always contribute her beauty and strength to the people!

It's all a lie!

It's just a nice way of saying it!

I don't believe in any heroes anymore!

Big liar! "

The bracelet hit the hat of the man who was about to leave.

As the girl's sobbing voice was coaxed by her parents, the bracelet slid on the ground and finally stopped beside the black-suited hero's black leather shoes.

The girl's mother's expression changed. She did not expect her daughter's bracelet to hit someone and say such words. Furthermore, she said it beside a hero.

The mainstream of this society was to support heroes and hate heroes. Even on the Internet where everyone was masked, such a person would be reprimanded as a "sociopath" and reported to the authorities.

Not to mention in such a public place.

If it were any other time, as a parent, she might even be taken in for questioning and asked if she had instilled the concept of 'sociopath and anti-hero' in her child.

The mother was secretly anxious, but her daughter, Nainai, had been a pampered princess at home since she was young. Not only did Nainai cry, but she also kicked and fought in her father's arms. The mother could not do anything else, so she could only comfort her daughter first.

Thinking about it, it was reasonable. Under her guidance, Nainai's favorite hero, 'Scorching And Freezing', was not wrong.

However, as a hero who stayed in the top ten all year round, 'Libra' was a rare female hero, beautiful and dazzling appearance, and more exposure in the entertainment world. In addition, the Heroes Society and the 'Platycodon' firm created an 'idol-like hero' identity for 'Libra'. She occupied a large portion of the princess dreams in the little girl's heart.

Just like all people who loved heroes, even if the top one in their hearts was not 'Libra', and the hero they envisioned in their hearts had nothing to do with the more entertaining 'Libra'. But … who would not love her?

The picture of 'Libra' that appeared in the projection was dazzling, beautiful, and resplendent like a gem under the sun.

Such a beauty stood in front of the enemy and confronted them.

She was as majestic as a valkyrie.

Such an existence … who would not like her?

But she was actually retiring now?

Nainai's mother comforted Nainai.

The hero behind her, who was carrying a suitcase, bent down and picked up her crying daughter's bracelet from the ground. With the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor, he slowly walked over and handed the bracelet to her.

The mother was stunned. Her hands trembled a little as she took the help of the unknown hero.

To be honest, she was not afraid of being sent to the authorities to be interrogated about whether she had instilled the idea of an anti-hero in her daughter. After all, she was not guilty.

However, the unknown hero in black had a strong aura. As he approached step by step, not only did her daughter not dare to cry again, but her friend also put away her hand that was about to take out her phone to ask on social media. She looked awkwardly at the tall and thin man and asked in a cold voice, "Because one hero retired, you gave up on all heroes.

It seems that your love and trust for your hero, 'Scorching And Freezing', is nothing more than this. "

He walked past the child's parents and said directly to the little girl, "Then you can leave with your parents now. There is no need to prepare for the personality test."

"Sir, my daughter may have offended you, but you said that there is no need for the personality test. Is this a threat or …" The girl's father saw that his daughter was stunned by the man in black's unkind words. There were still traces of tears on her little face. She looked very pitiful.

Just as he stood up and was about to explain seriously, the man suddenly stretched out his hand. It was as if a black shadow flashed past. When everyone focused, the man's thin and white fingers were holding a piece of paper. It was the admission card of the girl who had booked the personality test in her father's pocket.

"This is the place for the personality test under the Heroes Society.

If you don't want to be a hero so easily, there is no need for the test.

Because it is a waste. "The man glanced at the parents. His cold words made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Sir, you can't take out your anger on a little girl's unintentional words. She is only six years old."

"Yes.

You can't abuse your position for personal gain just because you are also a hero of Ju Ke & Partners. "

"This is just a place for the Heroes Society!

We are purely here to test the personality test. You can't be so overbearing. "

"Are you using your privilege as a hero to threaten the ordinary people?"

The parents couldn't figure out how much power he had. They hurriedly came forward one by one. They played the role of good cop and bad cop, hoping that the man would take back his words.

But the man didn't look at any of them. Instead, he walked over and handed the piece of paper to the little girl. He ignored the girl's father who was holding the little girl and cautiously retreated. He also ignored the little girl's tear-stained and pitiful face.

The little girl whose nickname was Nainai. Until the day she officially entered Hero Society, under the sun, she could still clearly recall the scene that she had listed as a "childhood nightmare".

The unknown hero's lips were as thin as a knife. He coldly said to her, as if he was a superior officer giving an order to his subordinates.
