A certain man from the motherland

Super seven meeting room.

"Hi, Darkstar.

How did it feel on the first day you joined the company?”

"Did you encounter any trouble?"

In the conference room, Ashley, the public relations director and Super Seven assistant, saw Ron walking into the room. She was smiling and greeted him in a flattering way, and she extended her hand to shake his hand.

Ron had no expression on his face, ignored her as he passed by, glanced at the starlight, and sat down in his seat.

Ashley, the assistant of the 7-man team, has a look that doesn’t match her nice name at all. She is snobbish and timid, bullies the weak and avoids the strong, and she also messes with relationships.

He doesn't want to have any physical contact with such people.

Sitting next to him, Xingguang was secretly envious.

She came to the conference room, and Ashley exchanged casual greetings with her, but she was far less enthusiastic than she was towards Ron.

"You two, tomorrow night, you will conduct your first operation."

Being ignored, Ashley coughed twice in embarrassment and pretended that nothing happened. Although Ron had just joined the company, he had a special status, which Vice President Madeleine had specifically explained.

"The company sent me and my colleagues to explain to you two things you need to pay attention to..."

Queen Maeve and Black have long been familiar with these things, but Ron and Starlight are different. The two newcomers need to be trained in advance.

"Very good……"

Although Ron treated her like a stranger, which made her hurt and angry, Starlight was surprised and a little excited when she thought about her first action as a member of the Super Seven.

"Walter's actions are different from what you imagined."

Ron crossed his arms and said coldly.

Soon this girl from a small town in Iowa would no longer be so naive and see the dark side of Walter.

"What's the meaning?"

The confused Xingguang asked, but received no answer.

Ashley led the people from the crime analysis department and began to tell what happened tomorrow night.

After more than ten minutes, while listening, Xingguang fell into doubt and confusion.

The company designed an action route for each of them, with the veteran team members leading the fight against crime.

At several points along the route, according to the company's intelligence, crimes are very likely to occur. If you go down the road, you will definitely encounter an opportunity to "show off your skills."

"Sorry to interrupt, is this information accurate?"

She hesitated and couldn't help but ask.

"Our department specializes in processing satellite data, plus some sources of information, to summarize and identify the locations we will pass tomorrow night. After analysis, there is more than 90% chance that a crime will occur."

The person from the crime analysis department sounded confident and added disdainfully.

"The New York police's intelligence is not as good as ours."

"Why don't we... inform the police station of the joint operation? If there are cases happening at the same time... we may be late."

After receiving a definite answer, Xingguang asked hesitantly.

"Starlight, don't you understand that superheroes and police are in a competitive relationship?"

Ashley and the employee looked at each other, as if they had heard some funny joke, and laughed.

"Is your first publicity going to be compared to the police?

That night the police deployed a large number of manpower to prevent and solve several crimes at the same time, but you and Dark Star each solved one?"

"Please, the masses will think that you are not even as good as the police, so how can they like you?"

After saying that, she left the route of action with her employees and left. Before leaving, she saw Xingguang's naivety and gave a stern explanation.

"Xingguang, this is an order from the company, not a discussion. It must be implemented like this tomorrow night."

Only Ron and Starlight were left in the conference room.

Xingguang sat in his seat, lost in confusion, but wasn't this taking the lives of ordinary people as a trifle?

Aren’t superheroes and police officers supposed to protect citizens?

How can two parties that can obviously cooperate and cooperate be in a competitive relationship?

"That's what Walt's superhero is."

Ron stood up and sneered, shouted to the confused Starlight, walked out, and motioned to take her somewhere.

"Follow me and I'll take you somewhere."

“Where? Hotel or guesthouse?

Or at your home?”

Xingguang, who was in a bad mood, raised his head, remembering what happened yesterday, and couldn't help but said angrily.

She thought Ron was going to change places again and try his old tricks again.

"A place where you can see what many of Vought's superheroes really look like behind closed doors."

With a few words, Ron left, ignoring whether she would follow him.

I believe that Starlight, who just caught a glimpse of Walter's dark corner and noticed something was wrong, will not fail to follow suit.

“What do superheroes really look like in private?

Wait for me."

Thinking of Deep Sea and Maeve who were different from those advertised on TV, Starlight hesitated for two seconds and quickly caught up.

"Where are we going?"

…

At night, there is a closed iron gate in front of a deserted alley.

"Come forward and knock on the door."

Ron gestured.

Take Starlight to the private club of Walt Company that secretly arranges entertainment for superheroes in order to break Starlight's innocent illusion.

"What is this place?

Why don't we enter through the front entrance?"

Looking around, there was faint music coming from inside. It was like the back door of a nightclub or bar. Starlight changed into casual clothes and tied up her blond hair. She looked much better. She stepped forward and knocked on the iron door.

He turned around and asked strangely.

"This club is only open to a very small number of people. It has no sign, no main entrance, and no windows."

"Why?"

"Because nothing inside can be seen."

Someone inside the door opened the peephole, saw Ron's face, compared it with the information, quickly opened the iron door, and welcomed Ron and Starlight in like a distinguished guest.

"Welcome Mr. Dark Star."

Starlight followed the expressionless Ron in cautiously.

…

Ten minutes later.

"Superhero? This is the superhero I have admired for more than 20 years?"

The scene changed, and in the alley, Xingguang's eyes were straight, as if he had walked out of sleepwalking, and he was mumbling.

The whole person seemed to have been spoiled, and his outlook on life had been baptized.

Ron took her for a brief tour of the club and didn't do anything. That alone shattered her twenty years of admiration and longing for superheroes.

Inside she saw many familiar superheroes, termites, ghosts, parallel captains... and even the superhero Izkiel, who was promoted as a representative figure by devout believers.

But they are completely different from how they look in the spotlight and on TV.

Hugging women on the left and right,

Everything inside has no lower limit, and is so filthy and obscene that it goes beyond what one can imagine. People are smoking "white powder" and having random carnivals without any cover-up, which is disgusting.

"The abilities of superheroes allow them to fully utilize themselves in some aspects."

After walking out of the nightclub and taking a breath of fresh air, Ron, who was also visiting this place for the first time, looked back and couldn't help but comment.

"In a sense, these people are also considered talents."

As he spoke, he glanced at the increased ability points of nearly 10,000 and prepared to leave.

"You made me disillusioned with you yesterday, and today you made me disillusioned with all the superheroes in the world."

Holding the wall and recalling the scenes inside, all those disgusting things, Xingguang wanted to vomit but couldn't, and her face turned pale.

"Are you planning to leave just like that?"

"if not?"
