My Superhero Can’t Be This Jerk

"He's lying, Luo Bin is not in the middle of the road at all, she's still half a fucking step away from the curb!"

Luo Bin's boyfriend, Huey, who witnessed his girlfriend turning into flesh, gritted his teeth and said.

"Calm down, come on, Huey, don't be mad. Just..."

His father, who looked a lot like Simon Pegg, comforted him, "Just...he knows, it's just his nonsense."

"Ding dong!"

When Huey was about to vent his anger, the doorbell rang.

The person here is the public relations lawyer of Water Company.

The well-dressed lawyer in a suit took out a document, "Everyone in Walter is sorry for Robin's misfortune. However, as far as we know, you and Robin are not married, but just a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, so strictly speaking Said there was no legal claim."

The lawyer stared at Huey, who didn't say a word, and continued: "However, the Walter Company wants to do what it should do. Here are forty-five thousand dollars. As long as you sign here, I can give you a check."

The lawyer tapped his fingers over the signature and smiled at Huey.

"Is this a non-disclosure agreement?"

"In fact, it's just a common non-disclosure agreement."

The lawyer shrugged.

"After signing the agreement, I can't say anything, just pretend that nothing happened? It's as if I didn't hold Luo Bin's arm in my hand?"

Huey's tone gradually became irritable.

"I know you're upset, but we just want to help you."

"Then say sorry."

The lawyer showed a shocked expression, "What did you say?"

"Every one of you is saying 'our condolences', 'our condolences', but none of you have ever looked me in the eye and said 'Sorry'."

He was trying to suppress his anger and pain.

If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence. Huey, who couldn't control his anger, grabbed the lawyer by the neck and lifted him up across the table, "I won't sign anything, so...you fucking get out!"

 …

Well, all of the above is Huey's imagination.

The fact is, the moment the lawyer handed over the check, Huey froze.

"Sorry, I...I need to think about it."

He was like a duck being pinched by the neck, his face flushed red.

The lawyer expressed his understanding, left his contact information, and left.

The space is empty, only the sound of the wall clock passing by.

Huey has never hated his cowardice like this moment!

He felt that he was a coward and incompetent. His girlfriend died, but he was obedient to his accomplices, and he didn't even dare to speak harsh words.

You can only show off your lust in your own fantasy world, it's really downright embarrassing!

Huey, who fell into the world of self-pity and self-pity, spent the whole day in decadence and self-blame.

At noon, I walked into the video store where I went to work like a walking dead.

Robin's favorite song Billy Joel was playing in the video store, which made him feel even more manic at the moment.

"Can put that damn music..."

"Ding ding ding!"

Huey was about to lose his temper when the glass door with the bell on it suddenly opened.

"Whoa, Billy Joel's song, 'Live your fucking life and don't ask me how I feel because I'm so bad I'm going crazy!' What a philosophical line, like Nietzsche said ——'The world is full of restlessness, and everyone is eager to break free from the shackles'."

The young Asian man in a black and white-dot trench coat looked at him with a smile and said in a familiar tone.

"I like Billy Joel."

The uninvited guest added another sentence.

"Forehead......"

Huey looked at the uninvited guest in front of him,

A little speechless, "Is there anything I can do for you, sir."

The uninvited visitor of the audio shop was of course the elusive Wei Chen.

"I heard about that, Huey."

Wei Chen picked up a bear with a surveillance camera and shook it vigorously, as if pouring ketchup out of a bottle.

"Huey, your girlfriend, she wasn't standing on the road at that time, she was still some distance away from the curb. Besides, you didn't accept the compensation, did you?"

"Sorry, who are you?"

Huey didn't relax his vigilance, and still looked at Wei Chen warily.

The other party looked like the kind of person who could get him into more trouble, so he didn't want to get involved with the other party.

"Eric Xavier. I think we can have a good talk."

Huey stood behind the counter and thought for a second, "Although you are right, sir, I don't want to talk about personal matters during working hours."

Wei Chen clapped his hands, and the "open for business" sign hanging on the glass door was instantly flipped over and changed to "closed for business".

The person who lifted the sign was a big white man in a suit. He stood outside the door with a straight body, and he looked like a professional bodyguard. Next to him, there was a big man wearing sunglasses, and the two of them guarded the glass door of the small video store together.

That must be the bodyguard of the mysterious man in front of him.

Huey thought.

"Now we can have a good talk."

"OK, so... what can I do for you?"

Facing the big man who might be in the legend, Huey unconsciously lowered his posture.

"Sometimes, I keep thinking about..."

Wei Chen leaned on the counter and put down the bear that was about to be crushed in his hand, "After all, people who die young are a minority, especially in the United States. Tragedy is inevitable, but in this country, tragedies are usually not It is not how he died, but how he lived. Marriage failure, death of relatives, bear children, self-mutilation, wife abuse, cat and dog abuse, loneliness, depression, yawning, muddleheaded... "

"Huey, are you one of those people who don't know how to live?"

Wei Chen stared at Huey with abyss-like gaze, which immediately made him panic.

As if the weakest part of his heart had been seen through, Huey also stammered, "No, sir, I...I..."

"No, Huey, you don't have to answer me. You just have to listen to me quietly."

Wei Chen interrupted him.

"There are many others like Luo Bin, who were young and had a good time, and were crushed to death like ants by a group of bastard superhumans. The reason why you haven't heard of such a thing is not only the capital's control of public opinion , but also because the public doesn’t want to know the facts, they just like to indulge in the sense of security that superheroes bring them.”

"Huey, are you willing to continue listening to me?" Wei Chen suddenly stopped talking, as if he wanted to ask for his opinion.

"me......"

Huey swallowed nervously.

Suddenly, he suddenly saw his dead girlfriend.

Standing in a dark corner, quietly looking at himself. Black blood, thick, viscous, with clots. slipped off her face.

Like dark red syrup, it runs down the body.

The blood was mingled with bits of white tissue, like maggots trapped in resin.

He had seen such a scene, seen such blood.
