The city of Hiro is a coastal city located in the empire, closest to the Endless Sea.
Despite this, in reality, this city is not under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of the Empire, as every resident of Hiero would say.
This is a free city.
The people spontaneously elected their mayor. Neither the Empire nor the Kingdom had any way to govern it. Due to its special geographical location in the Endless Sea, the city became an interactive hub for trade between the Empire and the Kingdom, thus bringing together a large number of elites from both countries.
Magic and science built this magnificent city.
A modern high-rise building.
The city hall floating in the air.
Pedestrians coming and going.
Countless people came to this city in pursuit of opportunities. Some became the best in the city, while others lost all their wealth and left the city sadly.
However... .
... The overly free environment also caused bloodshed and violence. Various magic societies, underworld gangs, and even terrorist organizations all had a place in this city. They became the dark side of the city, devouring every citizen who fell into darkness.
but!
Where there is darkness, there must be light. Faced with these terrible forces, the free citizens of Hiero did not choose to swallow their anger, but chose to stand up. They were once just part of the society, maybe a reporter, a student, or a wealthy second-generation rich man. They have their own lives, but for justice and peace, they have no hesitation.
As time goes by, for those who either master magic, or have a large number of advanced equipment, or are born with superpowers and finally choose to fight against evil, the citizens of Hiro City, using the name in the comics, affectionately call them...superheroes.
Similarly, since some people stand up for justice, there are naturally people who choose to fall into evil ways. Among them, there are naturally some who have the same abilities as superheroes. For these people, the citizens of Hiro City call them... super criminals with implicit fear.
Over time.
This city has become a cradle of sin and justice. Light and shadow, heroes and criminals, fight each other for their own ideals in this city, as if there is no end. It is like raising a Gu. In the end, only the strongest can stand out.
Hero's Ten Commandments
Criminal Emperor
During the day, the Ten Commandments passed through the sky, making everyone who longed for peace and freedom cheer and believe that the future of Shiloh City would be better.
At night, the emperor's brothers roamed the streets, letting everyone who hoped for chaos and freedom indulge themselves, and they firmly believed that the city of Hero would eventually fall completely.
... ... ...
The same is true tonight.
Boom!
Heat waves! Shrapnel! Fire! In the abandoned factory in the former residential area of Xicheng District, Xiluo City, a sudden explosion broke the tranquility of the night.
In just over ten minutes, the shrill sound of sirens came from far away.
"Team one, outflanking! Team two, cover! Team three, follow me!"
"According to intelligence, this is most likely a fight between a mafia organization and a magic society. Don't be careless!"
"yes!"
Due to the special nature of Hiro City, its police force is naturally not comparable to the police forces of other cities.
Let me give you the simplest example.
Under the captain's order, the team responsible for the encirclement was composed of a group of magicians who mastered the art of flying. Each of them carried a night-vision telescope and a standard magic wand weighing more than ten pounds. There was also a very hard black crystal installed on the head. They could release magic from a distance and swing it to hit people at close range. In addition, they also had a miniature submachine gun in their pockets, corresponding magazines, and several grenades.
This is a Heroic special force that covers both magic and technology.
Its combat power may not be enough to deal with super criminals who surpass ordinary people, but it is extremely efficient against ordinary people.
Just five minutes.
The well-trained special police captured the masked terrorists one after another in the cover of night, and those who disobeyed were shot dead on the spot.
"Captain! Suppression mission accomplished!"
"Very good, has the other party's identity been confirmed?"
"Confirmed!"
In the dark of night, after the firefight ended, Aldridge, who was in charge of leading this special force, personally asked his deputy. He thought it was just a common gang fight, but the news reported by his deputy made him fall into an unspeakable silence.
"... The two sides in the fight are the emperor and the empress?"
"Yes."
"We compared the database and confirmed the identities of both parties. Among the combatants, the magic society should be affiliated with the Queen's Hell Choir, and the armed elements are the remnants of the Heavenly Brigade who have just joined the Emperor's forces. The latter empire is being cleared out on a large scale..."
"I know."
Aldridge rolled his eyes at his deputy in annoyance. "... Clean up the scene of the battle first, then immediately announce it to the media and tell them the specific process of the elimination. The spotlight has been stolen by those superheroes lately. This time we finally have a chance, we must take it back."
"As for why the emperor and the empress fought..."
"... .We'll talk about it when we get back."
At this point, Aldridge couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Or maybe it's okay to leave it to those superheroes."
"We don't have to pay for it anyway."
"One more thing."
"... .explain."
"In fact, among the members we captured, there is a captive who is very strange."
"strangeness?"
"Yes, he didn't have any marks of the Hell Choir or the Heavenly Brigade on him, and his name couldn't be found in the database. Later, we expanded the search scope and compared it with the citizen database, and only then did we find his name and identity."
"Then what?"
"... He is a civilian."
"civilian?"
"Yes, he has a clean resume and no criminal record. He usually does some private detective work and is an ordinary citizen who pays taxes on time."
"... Private detective? Did he come here specifically to take pictures?"
"No, according to the information, this private detective's daily job is just to help people catch mistresses. He even caught the wrong person..."
"What?"
The deputy's report made Aldridge frown. How could an ordinary citizen appear at the scene of such a gang fight without a suitable reason
This is impossible.
"... Well, it's late, but I don't mind working a little longer."
"Where is that civilian?"
"I'll go and take a look."
"yes!"
At the same time that Aldridge made the decision, behind the police team, a young man in a black suit was wrapped in a blanket and sitting in the back seat of a police car. He almost died when he thought about how he was thrown into a battlefield full of bullets and magic as soon as he entered the game.
Then I thought about the "a little bit" gesture that Zhiji Nanxun made with his index finger and thumb before I came in.
Gu Moli finally couldn't help cursing out loud.
"I believed your lies!"
"grass!"
