Kryptonian: Man of Steel

"There is no free food in this world, Ms. Shizuka Hiratsuka."

Luther shook his head.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was startled. Yes, she knew in her heart that no matter which world or era she was in, efforts and gains were always directly proportional. There was no free lunch, and there was no unconditional gift.

"What will it cost me?"

Hiratsuka Shizu looked at Luther and asked.

Luther smiled slightly, and there was both playfulness and depth in that smile.

"you."

He said it without hesitation, as if he was talking about a normal thing.

"I?"

Hiratsuka looked at her body subconsciously, feeling an inexplicable panic in her heart.

Could it be that this mysterious Luther asked for her body in exchange?

As soon as this idea emerged, she was quickly rejected.

No, there was no trace of desire or greed in Luther's eyes, and his request was obviously deeper.

"It's not your body, but you, your body, your mind, your soul, all belong to me from now on."

Luther's words were like thunder, exploding in Hiratsuka Shizuka's ears.

Her eyes widened and she looked at Luther in disbelief, as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

However, Luther's expression was extremely serious, without the slightest hint of joking.

"This is what you have to pay. There is no need to be anxious or angry, because the choice is yours. Whether you want to gain spiritual power or lose your freedom is your own decision and choice."

He seemed to be saying something perfectly natural.

Hiratsuka was silent, with complex emotions surging in her heart. She knew that she was facing an unprecedented choice.

Obtaining spiritual power means that she will have the power to protect herself and those around her, but it also means that she must give up her freedom and hand everything over to this mysterious Luther.

She recalled the last night when she was attacked by monsters, those moments of helplessness and fear.

She longs for power, longs to be able to protect herself and those innocent people.

But at the same time, she also knew that once she made this choice, she would no longer be the free and unrestrained Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Of course, Hiratsuka Shizuka knew better that if this opportunity were given to others, others might be happy for it.

"Mr. Luther, I am willing to pay the price."

Hiratsuka Shizu is a mature adult, and her maturity has accelerated after becoming a teacher.

Is it worth losing freedom and self?

Therefore, she knew that this was a question with no standard answer.

Everyone measures value differently. Some people are willing to give up everything for power, while others would rather spend their lives in an ordinary way.

Luther just provided her with a choice.

Whether she is willing to accept this choice depends entirely on her own heart.

Luther smiled slightly, as if he had expected this result.

"Very well, Miss Hiratsuka Shizuka. You have made a wise choice. From now on, you will have powerful spiritual power, but at the same time you will lose your freedom. However, don't worry, I will give you a new Your identity and status give you more power and influence in the world.”

Hiratsuka Shizu nodded. Although she was still a little uneasy and uneasy, she knew that she had no way out.

She must bravely face this unknown future and use her newfound strength to protect herself and those innocent people.

"Now, you go take a bath first."

Luther's words suddenly became softer, which surprised Shizuka Hiratsuka.

She was stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable nervousness surged in her heart.

bath? After this, could it be... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she could only bite the bullet and follow Luther's instructions and walk into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, everything is ready. The soft bath towel, lightly scented shower gel, and the set of clothes tailor-made for her lay there quietly, as if telling the coming changes.

Shizuka Hiratsuka took off her clothes, and her exposed skin looked particularly white under the light. She was surprised to find that the scars on her body miraculously disappeared without leaving even a trace.

You don’t need to guess to know that this is Luther’s handiwork.

"What on earth am I thinking about?"

Hiratsuka Shizuo stood under the shower head, letting the hot water wash over his body, but he felt that the thoughts in his heart were like a mess, and they continued to be unorganized.

She knew that she was not an impulsive person, but faced with such a choice, she couldn't help but feel confused and uneasy.

Although she was prepared in her heart, she was still a little reluctant to give up when she really had to pay the price of freedom. However, now that the matter has come to this, she has no way out.

She closed her eyes and allowed the water to wash away her body and the inner struggle. She told herself that now that she had made a choice, she must go on bravely.

No matter what the future holds, she will use this power to protect herself and those innocent people. Thinking of this, she seemed to have found the motivation to move forward, and her inner confusion gradually dissipated.

After taking a shower, Shizuka Hiratsuka put on the clothes prepared for her. The clothing was soft and comfortable, well cut, and perfectly framed her figure.

She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully, as if she saw a brand new self. This self will have strong spiritual power and will also assume more responsibilities and obligations.

When Shizuka Hiratsuka came out anxiously, she found that Luther was gone.

There was only one image.

"Next, you can do what you want to do, just like usual."

Shizuka Hiratsuka sat on the sofa.

"What's this..."

She was prepared to complain, but Luther left. It was obvious that he really had no idea about her.

Damn, is she that bad?

"That's right. With such power, I guess she has played with many women prettier than me. How could she possibly like me?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed, but became more worried.

Luther teased Shizuka Hiratsuka for a while and then left.

The easier it is to get something, the less you will cherish it. Let her and Saeko Busujima continue to be frightened for a while.

People are just creatures who pursue peace of mind, so the more so, the more they can't be reassured so quickly.

In the situation of constant anxiety and unrest every day, they will become more and more nervous. At that time, if Luther can make them feel at ease, he can become their savior.

What Luther wants is not just their bodies, but their minds and bodies.

Just like Kasumigaoka Utaha now.

Kasumigaoka Utaha finally found Luther.
