The initial images circulated on the internet were so bloody and violent that many people felt uncomfortable. The scene of him holding a lifeless corpse while blood poured down the lance and onto his armor was particularly chilling. Many people initially thought it was a promotional event for a new B-movie. But as the images mysteriously disappeared from the internet, it aroused the interest of some people, and soon the identity of the "man in armor" was recognized by everyone.
'The Undead (Ghost)'
This was the official name for the "criminal" who attacked the Metropolitan Police Department. The reason for the name was because the other party only said that one sentence from the time he appeared to the time he left.
There is no doubt that because of the attack on the "Metropolitan Police Department," the ordinary onlookers had already categorized the other party as a "villain." So when they saw him kill someone, their first reaction was: Was a pro hero killed?
But then, another piece of information caused a stir.
'Muscular - One of the most dangerous quirk criminals wanted by the Metropolitan Police Department, who has killed several pro heroes and caused dozens of civilian deaths and a large amount of property damage.'
The person who was killed was a wanted criminal?
Was it an internal gang fight?
Or was it a personal grudge?
The "ghost" was too mysterious. No one knew who he was or what he wanted to do. People knew nothing about him.
But soon, people would know what he wanted to do.
Because with the death of "Muscular," the second "victim" appeared again.
This time, the "victim" was a seemingly ordinary office worker. When the "ghost" appeared on a bustling street, everyone was shocked, because his "entrance" this time was too "stunning."
First, the ground under everyone's feet suddenly shook, and then a lance shot out from underground. The person who was attacked managed to dodge the stab in a sorry state, but his jacket was completely torn.
"What do you want to do?!"
"You have three chances. Now you have two left."
The abrupt words left the bystanders confused, but the victim's face changed drastically, because at this moment, the "ghost" in armor attacked again.
There is no doubt that the person Lancer attacked was also a "criminal," but unlike the previous person, the other party was a "special case." There was no evidence, and because the statute of limitations had passed, the other party could live like an ordinary person. As for the victim? They died in an "accident" years ago. Of course, the police also suspected that it wasn't an "accident," but unfortunately, they still couldn't arrest him due to insufficient evidence. In addition, the other party was very honest during the period of surveillance, so his threat level gradually dropped until he was almost no different from an ordinary person.
"Who are you?! Why are you trying to kill me?!"
"Twenty-one years ago, on a weekend night, do you remember?"
When asking this question, Lancer was actually staring at the other party's eyes. Although based on the case file and the notes of several police officers, he could confirm the other party's identity, and through the "probing" before, he also knew that the other party's skills were very good and not like a normal office worker at all.
Confusion, sudden realization, and then anger.
"I didn't do that case at all! Who are you?!"
His righteous attitude and firm eyes seemed to prove the other party's words, but Lancer got the answer from the other party's abnormal heartbeat and the "fear" that naturally emanated from his body.
Before this, Lancer had received the title of "Enforcer." This title could increase the initial favorability of ordinary people. In the last world, his reputation could be said to be hated by both gods and ghosts. The pitiful initial favorability was not enough, so he once gave up on it. But when he killed "Muscular" before, he found that this "title" actually had a hidden effect.
When fighting the other party, the title level was actually slowly rising, and after killing the other party, it suddenly increased by a small section. And this time, when he "ambushed" him before, the experience value did not react at all, but with his question, the experience value actually began to increase slowly.
With multiple pieces of evidence, the other party's fate was sealed!
"Last chance..."
The hoarse voice made the other party's expression look extremely ugly. It was obvious that the other party didn't expect Lancer to make a move again.
"What do you want to do?! Are you a hero?! What right do you have to arrest me?! I..."
"..."
Facing the other party's question, Lancer didn't say a word, but the scream of the lance piercing through the air made the bystanders cover their ears, and the man who was attacked narrowly dodged, but then the hoarse voice that he feared so much came from his ear.
"It's over."
As Lancer declared, the other party's eyes widened, but then a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
There is no doubt that he had been deliberately dodging before to hide his strength, but now, facing Lancer killing intent that almost swept over him, he knew that if he didn't use his quirk, he would have no "future" to speak of.
"Flash!!"
As his quirk activated, he instantly disappeared and then reappeared behind Lancer. At the same time, his right hand pulled on the watch strap on his left hand.
A special metal wire coated with a matte material was held in his hand.
The metal wire was almost touching the neck guard of Lancer armor, and his eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, but at this moment, a cold snort came from his ear.
"Idiot! Don't you know that a scar on the back is a disgrace to a true warrior?!"
The shaft of the lance slammed fiercely onto the other party's lower abdomen.
"Bang!!"
"Cough, cough, cough~~"
With a terrifying cough, fragments of his internal organs were directly sprayed onto the armor.
And Lancer had already turned around and stabbed his heart with a spear.
"A hero will make you repent, but I will only make you die!!"
The man whose body was pierced constantly waved his arms, but in the end, he was violently impaled on a tall building next to him, with both him and his corpse.
And he himself leaped directly down into the "hole" he had originally created.
It was only then that the crowd became chaotic.
Lancer terrifying "slaughter" only lasted for a little over a minute, after all, this time's target was not the same as before.
Although Lancer saw "Muscular" as nothing more than a beast that swung its fists around relying on its physical advantage, this guy in front of him was just a piece of scum who used his quirk to commit locked-room murders and hid in the dark. Once he lost the protection of the darkness, he was defenseless. In terms of combat experience, he was no different from an ordinary person.
He was Lancer second target, but he was definitely not the last.
Because of Lancer appearance, the "Hero Killer" withdrew from the stage of history early, but there is no doubt that a more terrifying existence had now appeared in this seemingly peaceful world.
After the appearance of the "Symbol of Peace," this world entered into "order."
Even criminals followed certain rules, because they knew that only by doing so could they be protected by the rules. But what if a person who "doesn't follow the rules" appears?
The bloody wave that Lancer stirred up left ordinary people in fear for a long time. After all, Lancer was different from the "Hero Killer." He didn't need to act secretly, because the people of this world couldn't understand the existence of "Rune."
Lancer talent in "Rune" was enough to make Scathach question her own judgment, but this couldn't hide the specialness and power of the "Rune" itself. When Lancer was prepared, he could do many things that others couldn't imagine.
Whether it was the "illusion" he had prepared in advance or the "earth" rune hiding in the dirt, they made him seem extremely bizarre in the eyes of ordinary people. However, as for himself, he felt quite helpless. If he had to make an analogy, it would probably be like DIO using "THE WORLD" to stop time and then carrying his opponent downstairs and running back to strike a pose...
But the result of all the preparations was that his identity became more and more mysterious. Now, with the case files of every person who was nailed to the high wall being dug up, they found a strange commonality. Many of them were wanted criminals by the Japanese government, and some were villains who had escaped legal punishment for various reasons.
The appearance of this strange commonality also made ordinary people begin to have all sorts of strange thoughts, for example: Were all of his targets criminals?
Of course, even so, he still didn't have many supporters. His bloody and brutal fighting still made most people feel uncomfortable, and this discussion was even more heated within the "pro hero" community.
If the existence of "All Might" created the current order, then this suddenly appearing "ghost" created a new "order."
After all, among the several "criminals" that were killed by him, most of them were wanted criminals and criminals who had escaped trial, but there were also two who were caught in the act. One was a kidnapper, and the other was a fraudster.
With the current laws, even if they were caught, they wouldn't suffer too terrible a punishment, at least not the death penalty. But in the end, they died and became new "victims."
Although the "pro heroes" didn't support Lancer actions, it was undeniable that no serious crimes had happened for a long time recently.
The pro heroes started to discuss his actions, so the U.A. students, who were pro hero candidates, were no exception. But during this time, they also had another thing to consider.
"Sensei, which hero agency do you think I should intern at?"
Just as Lancer thought, many people are not afraid to put in effort; they are afraid of putting in effort and not getting a return. After seeing his own improvement in this competition, Shoto Todoroki trusted Lancer even more, so when he was wavering this time, he also thought of Lancer.
But Lancer, who was sitting next to the barbecue, shook his head.
"I will be leaving in a while. I can teach you how to become stronger, and I will help you when you are hesitant, but the one thing I will not do is help you choose. I can help you analyze, but the person who makes the choice must be you!"
Because of Shoto Todoroki's question, Lancer also closed the file folder that was changed to "Imperial script" and looked at the other party with a serious face.
Just as he said, he could help the other party with many things, simply because of that heartfelt "sensei," but he would not interfere with the other party's choices, because he was just a "teacher."
Students always have a day when they graduate, and his was even shorter, because Lancer only had less than half a year left.
