Knights of DC

Chapter 69 I Accepted This Mission
"I'll go, I'm sure I'm hot again just now." Back to the alley where he was, Ke Wen walked out chattering after undoing his transformation, and was about to turn back to the convenience store and store his cigarettes there When I came back, I couldn't throw away the things I bought for $8.

Although he accepted people's applause, Ke Wen still didn't think about what he should do. Saving people from fire and water is not comparable to intervening in a battle for the throne, which is much more dangerous.After buying another bottle of beer, Ke Wen squatted in the alley and became bored, not knowing what to do.

"Son, you did a good job just now~" An old but energetic voice sounded behind Ke Wen.

"It's nothing," Ke Wen replied without turning his head.Then I realized that when I turned around, I saw an old man leaning against the wall and waving to him.A good old man. "Were you talking to me just now?" Ke Wen knew that he had revealed his secrets before, so he quickly pretended to be crazy and said stupidly.

The old man ignored Ke Wen's pretending to be crazy and stupid, walked up to Ke Wen, and squatted down with Ke Wen.He took the cigarette butt in Ke Wen's hand and extinguished it, "Smoking is not good for your health."

Ke Wen resentfully withdrew the action of preparing to continue lighting cigarettes. Looking at the mysterious old man squatting beside him, he didn't know what the old man wanted to do with such a play.

"Son, you look unhappy, isn't it good to help others?" the old man asked.

"There's nothing wrong with helping others, but that's based on the fact that I'm not in danger. If you knew you were going to die, would you still help others?" Ke Wen asked rhetorically.

The old man was silent for a while before he spoke: "You know what? Son, I'm a screenwriter who specializes in writing superhero stories. When these masked heroes really appear in our world, I think they are too stalwart , like a god, such superheroes are perfect, but because they are so perfect, they make me feel that they are out of our reach. The superheroes I want are not like this. And you, you gave me inspiration, let I see the other side of superheroes. After they take off that uniform, they will be confused, sad, and afraid just like us. So, if you really can’t figure out why you want to be a superhero, you might as well think about yourself Why did you worship superheroes in the first place?"

The old man was very talkative. After patting Ke Wen on the shoulder, he stood up and walked into the alley.And Ke Wen is thinking back to the words of the old man, why did he like the Kamen Rider of Tokusho in the first place? His most distinctive personality, these distinctive personalities make Ke Wen still chasing every special film even when he grows up.

I also imagined that one day, I could become a weird dream like a Kamen Rider, but when the dream really appeared in front of me, I had already been smoothed by reality. At the age of 20 years, I have learned to be tactful. , Sophisticated, and occasional passion has also become the expression of lack of brains in other people's mouths.The young man who foolishly gesticulated to transform into a knight in the sun had long since disappeared, but the old man's words reminded him once again of his foolish appearance.

"Hey, sir, you said you are a comic screenwriter, so can you tell me what kind of superhero you plan to create based on the inspiration I gave you?" Ke Wen asked loudly without turning his head.

"Spider-Man~"

"Spider... what?" Ke Wen was startled, turned around and found that the alley was empty, and it was as if the old man had never existed. "I'm... what the hell!"

Ke Wen was shocked by this bizarre scene and didn't know what to say, but he didn't think too much about it, maybe it was just a parallel universe projection with the same name and surname.Patted the dust on his body, threw the unfinished cigarette pack into the trash can, and sank into the system space.

"System, I have accepted this task."

[Received, the side mission is open, the battle for the throne of Atlantis (1) - protect the safety of Zebel Queen's daughter Siren, mission details, let the Siren return to Atlantis safely, good luck, host. 】

Listening to the system's explanation in his mind, Ke Wen also returned to the hotel. Siren, Calder, and Tulla were still frowning, and hadn't come up with a perfect plan yet.

"Huh, I've been outside for an hour, haven't you guys figured out what to do?" Ke Wen asked calmly with no direct entanglement on his face.

"It's not that I didn't think about it, it's just that I don't know how to choose." Calder looked up at Ke Wen and responded.

"Oh? Come on, let me make a choice for you. After all, the bystanders know."

Ke Wen poured a glass of water for the three of them, and sat on the bed with a glass of water himself, waiting for Calder's next words.

"Two ways, one, wait here for the return of the king of space, although he is building a watchtower, according to the time, that is ten days and a half months. Two, return to Atlantis immediately, no matter what Who is that person who wants to assassinate the Siren, he wants the Siren to die on land, because only in this way, Atlantis has to go to war with land countries, and even the King of the Sea can’t control it.”

After listening, Ke Wen drank the water in the cup and said directly: "Don't think about it, choose two."

"why?"

"One is the safest, but the Justice League is far away. How can you guarantee that you can protect the siren in the next time? Here, you don't know anyone, and neither do I. And the second plan, you say Well, the other party wants Siren to die on land, only in this way can he continue to cause trouble, so as long as Siren returns to Atlantis safely, then no matter who that guy is, he has to hide his evil thoughts, You even have to try to hide yourself."

I don't know if it's because he no longer looked forward and backward, but Ke Wen's brain suddenly came to life, and he spoke every sentence in a very orderly manner, not like the previous IQ panic.

"But…"

"But there are only three of you, right? You can't guarantee a smooth return to Atlantis. Therefore, you need a bait, a bait that can confuse your eyes. The bracelet you gave the Siren should record the information of the Siren. Ren's life mark, otherwise those guys would not be able to grasp the Siren's position so quickly."

Ke Wen pointed to the bracelet on Siren's left hand and said.

Calder nodded, "Yes, this bracelet is not a special prop, basically every member of the royal family and nobles have it. That's why I don't let the siren take it off, with it, at least there are clues , if we lose it, we will die without knowing who did it.”

Then Ke Wen got up, walked up to the siren, took off the bracelet on her left hand, and put it on his own hand.

"Now, you have bait and clues."

Ke Wen's behavior puzzled the sirens. This was not Ke Wen's business, but now his bracelet was put on Ke Wen's hand. take it off.

"Don't get me wrong, if you stay on land all the time, those guys hiding in the dark will always trouble us. Maybe we can hide for a while, but ordinary people can't. Your Atlantis technology is very important to us. As far as we are concerned on the land, it is crushing, and it was very difficult for Sea King to let Atlantis temporarily put down the weapons on the land, so you don’t just plan to let them raise them again.”

Seeing the surprised eyes cast by Calder and others, Ke Wen quickly explained.Although he is hot-blooded again, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with these royal family members. Now that the situation is getting bigger, it is to ensure the peace of the sea and land. I'm familiar with it, and I will come to him for help in the future, so if he doesn't help, how can I mess around.

"Sorry, we shouldn't have brought you into this." Tula also apologized to Ke Wen at this time. Regardless of whether Ke Wen was suspected before, at least now, Ke Wen's straightforward choice made Tula feel ashamed.

"Don't say that, anyway, I'm also a superhero. It's a bit embarrassing not to do some knight work under the name of a Kamen Rider. In addition, if you are sure, you'd better get ready to go today. The day I reach Atlantis, I will be liberated one day earlier."

"But where do we go?" The Siren also knew that it was not time to play his temper, and asked Ke Wen. Unknowingly, they took Ke Wen as the core.

"This is relatively simple. Do you still remember the dock base where I rescued you?"

"remember."

"Just leave from there, the most dangerous place is the safest." Ke Wen laughed.

"When to set off?"

"Now, take this. When it transforms, it's time for you to set off. It's getting late. Get ready. I'm going out."

"Why are you still out?"

"If you buy a motorcycle, since you are a knight, you must look like a knight~"

After waving to the three people behind him, Ke Wen left gracefully, preparing to buy his first motorcycle.
