American comics: From the black robe, friendship becomes stronger

Chapter 10 Emergency Situation
A few hours later, Levi hung up the phone with regret. Lan Ying had to shoot a TV series today and didn't have time to come.

Moreover, he didn't even dare to sing the song Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse while being beaten, which seriously violated the impression of him that Levi usually had in his mind.

Fortunately, there was an unexpected surprise. Xingguang thanked him very sincerely and invited him to dinner.

Although she was vague on the phone, Levi could certainly understand that she probably avoided the fate of being used as nucleic acid in the deep sea because of his reminder, so she was not that stupid.

Levi agreed reluctantly. After all, if he really wanted to beat up Lao Hei, he could do it any day.

Soon it was night, Levi changed into casual clothes and arrived near Water Company in advance to wait for the other party, intending to find a chance to meet the other seven people.

Then, inadvertently, he saw a white man with a smug look on his face, sitting on a bench in the park and eating a hamburger. Who else could it be but the male protagonist he had paid attention to before - Huey?
According to the original plot, after Xingguang finished the nucleic acid test, she called her mother to cry, and Hughie happened to hear it. Then the two chatted and encouraged each other for a while.

Starlight therefore insists on fighting the Deep, while Hughie insists on getting an apology from the locomotive that killed his girlfriend.

But now without this coincidence, Starlight would definitely not say those things to Hughie. Hughie was not encouraged and remained the same wimp he was before.

However, Levi had no intention of persuading him, because what Huey thought was not particularly important. Behind him was a butcher who was eager for revenge - Billy Butcher.

The Butcher embarked on a journey of revenge because his wife voluntarily came to him and was raped by the Homelander, and then disappeared afterwards. He believed that all superheroes should be killed.

Since his wife disappeared on January 2012, 1, the butcher has been tracking down the case for 24 years. He finally found a loophole in the locomotive and saw hope of bringing down the super heroes.

In order to kill his countrymen, the Butcher would most likely be willing to do it even at the cost of destroying the entire world.

Even if Huey chose to give up, the Butcher would definitely make up a lot of lies and trick Huey into falling for it!

Well, it seems that the butcher is very innocent, but in fact, as far as Levi knows, before his wife came to his countryman on her own initiative, he had already cheated on his wife, and had been involved with many women.

This is very abstract. There is a huge difference between The Boys and the world of other superheroes. None of the protagonists here are good people in the true sense. Even guys like the Butcher and the Frenchman may be worse than most villains!
When a crow lands on a pig, there is no need to say which one is darker.

However, I need to be more cautious. I hope he and the butcher and others can work hard and cause more trouble for our countrymen.

Otherwise, if the motherland has nothing to do, he himself will become the biggest trouble.

Moreover, this seemed to be an opportunity to get closer to the other party, since he was free anyway.

And if nothing unexpected happens, Huey will eventually sign a letter of understanding with the locomotive.

Then when they meet again next time, Levi will be able to denounce the other party's behavior mercilessly as a true hero with justice in his heart.

In this way, wouldn't the persona of this disguised identity be established?

Levi found an opportunity and put on a black mask in a dark corner where there was no surveillance. He changed into a strange outfit with a hood and cloak, held a long metal stick in his left hand and stroked a row of small pockets on his waist with his right hand.

That's right, the way he was dressed made him look like a typical superhero. Even though he had never been registered with the Water Company and had no fame at all, he still attracted a lot of exclamations and photos from people on the street as he walked by.

Even though they didn't actually know who Levi was or what his name was, who cares? They just took pictures.

But Levi didn't waste too much time, he walked straight towards Hughie.

"I feel the sadness in your heart. Did something sad happen to you?"

Huey, who still had a hamburger in his mouth, was stunned for a moment. He never expected that a superhero would take the initiative to talk to him!

He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth: "Hello, I don't know who you are."

Levi shook his finger: "No need to ask for my name. Today, I can just be a simple listener."

Huey was stunned. He didn't know why. He knew clearly that the other party was of the same kind as the locomotive, but he still told the whole story, expressed his unwillingness, and made some slanders against the locomotive.

By the time he realized this, it was already too late. He was immediately filled with regret, fearing that the other party would take the opportunity to deal with him.

But Levi certainly didn't plan to do so. He just hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, then follow the guidance of your heart."

"If you give up just like that, are you really willing? Will you really not regret it? Will you really not live in guilt in the future?"

This series of questions made Huey feel like he was struck by lightning, and he didn't know what to think. Seeing his appearance, Levi felt that it was almost done, and before the other party could react, he left quietly.

Whether in Japanese comics or American dramas, there are many riddlers who say some seemingly plausible words. At first glance, they seem to make sense, but in fact, it seems as if they have not said anything.

Levi hated this kind of riddle man in his previous life, but when he acted as a riddle man himself, he felt pretty good!

When he came to his senses and saw that the place was empty, Hughie, who had made the decision, immediately regretted it. He did not ask the other party's name, let alone thank him.

However, he firmly believed that a superhero like him would not be an unknown person in the future, and they would definitely have the chance to meet again.

And now, it's time for him to do something for Robin!

On the other side, after changing back into casual clothes, Levi returned to Water Company and happened to see Xingguang, who was also in casual clothes, walking out of the door.

He immediately smiled and greeted: "Hi, Annie, how are you? Are you having a good day?"

Xingguang was hesitant to speak. Before coming here, she was full of all kinds of fantasies about this place, but when she actually entered here, many of her dreams were shattered.

Shen Hai actually made such an insulting request to her. Fortunately, she remembered Levi's previous reminder, so he did not succeed.

But what she saw afterwards surprised her. It was not just Shen Hai who did not conform to the rumors.

The invisible man actually likes to stand in the corner of the women's restroom and peek. He actually uses his precious invisibility ability for this!
The locomotive only cares about how much money he can get from Water, and he also plans to hire a lawyer to try to renegotiate the profit sharing ratio with Water and sue the pirates.

Xuanse never speaks, he can only write or draw some rather childish patterns.

God, if she was in elementary school, maybe she could understand those things, but now she really can't.

The Iron Lady - Maeve and Homelander looked roughly similar to the descriptions from the outside world, but today was only their first meeting, and she was not sure whether they were pretending or not.

Fortunately, she accidentally made friends with an angel, her former and current idol.

She decided that when she got home later, she would burn all of Deep Sea's posters. From now on, only Angel's own would remain in her room!
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Levi. Today is a very complicated day for me. It's hard for me to describe my feelings right now."

"It's okay. I don't have any tasks today, so I have plenty of time to be a listener. But your mother probably wants you to go home early and share your joy with her, right?"

Xingguang is his fan, and he saved her today, so her favorability must be quite high, so Levi is not in a hurry at all.

A smile appeared on Xingguang's face: "Levi, you are right, but it doesn't matter. My mother specifically told me that on my first day at Water Company, I should build good relationships with my colleagues. I can go home later today!"

In fact, her hometown is Iowa, more than a thousand miles away from New York, but after becoming one of the Seven, Walter generously prepared a residence for her in New York.

She could even live at Vought headquarters if necessary.

Levi laughed: "What are you waiting for? Let's go eat first, and then find a bar to celebrate for you!"

Xingguang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, God, Levi, you don't know that I have to diet every day to maintain my figure for the exhibition tour. I'm going to eat a little more hearty today!"

A few hours later, it was already dark. After having a full meal and playing in the bar for a while, Levi said goodbye to Xingguang in a very gentlemanly manner.

Ming Mingguang drank at least ten kilograms of alcohol, but due to the strong physical fitness of the superheroes, she still looked very energetic, and there was no trace of haziness in her eyes.

This also made Levi realize that he probably wouldn't have much chance of accomplishing anything good today.

Otherwise, Xingguang would at least have to pretend to be drunk to give himself a chance to perform, right?

If we only look at it from this aspect, there are still many differences between starlight and firecrackers.

However, it is true that Xingguang is his fan, so Levi is very confident that it won’t be long before Xingguang changes his attitude.

Just as the two were waving goodbye, a scream suddenly came from the corner of the street: "Help, someone help me!"
