Chapter 371
"CBS News report: Today, Superman Hancock is suspected of illegally imprisoning citizens from the East and has been arrested by the police. Below is the report from the police..."
A piece of news instantly spread through the streets and alleys. Superman Hancock had been arrested. It was being spread everywhere. The public felt worried, yet vaguely excited, while the gangsters were celebrating.
"Finally arrested."
This was the heartfelt wish of all the gangsters.
They had had enough of the days with Superman Hancock. In their eyes, Superman Hancock was the most annoying, because wherever there was crime, there was Superman Hancock. It could be said that Superman Hancock was their nightmare. However, no matter how much they hated Superman Hancock, no matter how much they loathed him, they had to admit that this guy was very strong, and they couldn't do anything to Superman Hancock.
But today, Superman Hancock was arrested. He might go to jail. The gangsters suddenly became excited. They took to the streets and robbed everywhere, just to express their celebration.
"Truly pitiful." Ye Nan was in Hancock's house, looking down from the window at a thug excitedly robbing a woman of her property.
He understood the thoughts of these thugs, but unfortunately, their thoughts were destined to be a flash in the pan, because Superman Hancock could not possibly be detained by the police.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
A burst of urgent knocking came from outside the door.
"As expected, they've come." Ye Nan thought calmly. He gently kissed Ripley on the forehead. "Baby, keep sleeping here. When you wake up, Daddy will be back."
Ye Nan opened the door and looked at the two white police officers outside, revealing a look of surprise.
"What are you here for?"
"Hello, sir. We are police officers from the Los Angeles Police Department. Today we received a report saying that Hancock has imprisoned Easterners here, and presumably that is you." One police officer said after showing his badge.
"It is me, that's correct, but I have not been imprisoned. There must be a misunderstanding here." Ye Nan said.
Of course there was a misunderstanding. He hadn't been imprisoned; not only had he not been imprisoned, but he had actually received help from Hancock. However, he knew very well how these misunderstandings came about. In fact, this so-called misunderstanding was directed by him single-handedly.
Notifying the Los Angeles police was something he had done himself. After obtaining Hancock's approval, he took the opportunity to hack into the local network and sent an email to the Los Angeles Police Department. The general content of the email was that Superman Hancock had imprisoned citizens from the East, and then the scene just now happened.
His intention in saying this was, first, to clear Hancock's suspicion of him and completely confirm that he, his daughter, and his daughter's pet had been captured by gangsters and then framed on Hancock, because only gangsters who hated Hancock would have the motive and time.
Secondly, it was also to give him a suitable identity in this world. After all, if he wanted to work here, he had to have an identity, and the fastest way to obtain an identity was to be noticed by the police, and the police had to believe he was innocent and not a stowaway.
So he dragged Hancock into it. He believed that with Hancock's status, it would definitely attract the attention of the media. By that time, he, dressed as an innocent victim, would easily obtain an identity.
"However, there is still a flaw here. Only by filling this flaw can my identity be flawless."
"We came here to ask you, your daughter, and your daughter's pet to go to the police station to provide a statement." When mentioning 'your daughter's pet', a strange look clearly flashed in the police officer's eyes.
From the pictures in the email, it could be known that the pet was a horse with a single horn, very much like the legendary unicorn...
When the police officer said this, Ye Nan immediately became conflicted. "My daughter and my daughter's pet are still in a coma, and they are both in that state."
Ye Nan gestured wildly in the air, and then, under the puzzled gaze of the police, stepped aside. "You can go and see for yourself."
The two police officers, under Ye Nan's helpless gaze, went in for a glance and then walked out. "Since they are still in a coma, forget it. You come with us."
"Okay."
"Ye Nan, thank you."
Walking on the streets of Los Angeles, Hancock's expression was not good. He had just been arrested by the Los Angeles police. If Ye Nan hadn't come out to testify, he would probably still be stuck inside. However, even so, he felt very unhappy inside.
Thinking that he was a great hero, a Superman, who had punished I don't know how many bad guys, but now, those damn useless white-skinned police actually dared to arrest him. Thinking about it made him angry; he wished he could blow up the police station.
"Hancock, no need to thank me. Actually, this matter is also my fault. If it weren't for my appearance, you wouldn't have had any trouble." Ye Nan attributed all the mistakes to himself. "I'm sorry."
"No, don't say sorry, my friend. You can't say sorry. This matter wasn't your fault to begin with, so you don't need to say sorry." Hancock waved his hands repeatedly. He took off his sunglasses. "All of this is the fault of those damn gangsters. Because of my punishing evil and promoting good, they hate me, which is why they dragged you into it. In the end, your encounter also has my factors in it."
If it were before, Hancock definitely wouldn't think this way. He would only think, I saved you, I am your benefactor, and wouldn't think that his own existence caused the gangsters to kidnap Ye Nan. But Ye Nan attributed all the mistakes to himself, so naturally, he had to rush to take the blame.
"Actually, it's still my fault." Ye Nan lowered his head, his expression dim. "Although I am a father, I am a loser. My wife ran off with someone because I am a loser; my house is gone, also because I am a loser. I have always fantasized about meeting a noble person and then getting a large sum of money to live a happy and fulfilling life, but in the end, it was just wishful thinking."
"Now I understand, there are no noble people in this world. For everything, one must rely on one's own efforts."
"Hi, brother, you were really terrible before, but being able to realize your own mistakes can also be considered a correct choice. Actually, you are better than me; at least you have a precious daughter, and you once had a wife. But I am different; my life is what you call miserable."
"Dozens of years ago, I woke up in a movie theater with injuries on my body, but I didn't know anything. My mind was a blank. I felt like an abandoned person. I was lonely, had no friends. I relied on my own strength to save the people of Los Angeles, but the result was that they feared me."
"I don't know what I did wrong. Why are other heroes welcomed by the public, but only me, only me, this Superman, am loathed by the people of Los Angeles? They wish they could drive me away and then replace me with another hero."
Hancock held his head and squatted on the ground, his face full of pain. "I don't know what I did wrong. I clearly do the same as other heroes, fighting criminals everywhere. I am even more diligent than other heroes in fighting criminals, but they just don't like me, and even loathe me, wanting to drive me away."
"Today's incident, if it happened to other heroes, they definitely wouldn't be taken away, but would have a chance to explain. But me? I don't even have a chance to explain."...
Hancock smashed his fist on the ground, creating a large pit in the cement road, with dense cracks like spider webs spreading in all directions. One can imagine how much strength the owner of the fist used.
Looking at the emotionally out-of-control Hancock, Ye Nan understood what he was thinking and understood the depression in his heart. At the same time, he understood even more why the people of Los Angeles loathed Hancock.
"Actually, you can try to change." Ye Nan said hesitantly. "Perhaps after you change, you will be welcomed."
"How to change?" Hancock raised his head, his eyes full of hope. He dreamed of gaining the recognition of the public, so when Ye Nan mentioned changing, a burst of hope suddenly arose in his heart.
"First you have to tell me, what does the phrase 'replace me with another hero' mean?" Ye Nan didn't answer Hancock's question directly, but instead raised a question, a question that was crucial to him.
"Is this important?"
"This is important."
"Okay." Hancock organized his language and said: "You are not an American, so you probably don't understand. In fact, there are many superheroes in the United States, such as Superman, such as Thor, such as the Hulk. They are all superheroes, just like me, guarding the world."
"In order not to waste combat power, we heroes have divided our respective guarding ranges. Unless we encounter irresistible enemies, other superheroes will come to support. At other times, we will not cross our guarding ranges without authorization."
"The Hulk? Then are there Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the like?" Ye Nan asked. His heart was churning. Bruce the Hulk, this was a hero from the world he was in. "Could it be that the heroes of this world overlap with the heroes of my world?"
"Spider-Man? Iron Man? What are those? Are they new heroes?" Hancock asked strangely.
"No, not really. I just remember hearing their names, and then I thought they were superheroes. I didn't expect they didn't exist at all." Ye Nan covered up the mistake in his words and then shifted the topic to the past. "You said, if the dissatisfaction of the Los Angeles public with you reaches a certain level, will you be driven away?"
"Drive me away? Hmph, unless his fist is harder than mine, it's impossible to drive me away." Hancock snorted coldly, waving his fist, seeming to want to show his strength in front of Ye Nan. "It's not that I'm bragging, among superheroes, my strength is ranked at the top."
"So powerful!" Ye Nan exclaimed, and then suppressed all the doubts in his heart.
"Actually, we have an old saying in the East, which is that things easily obtained are instead not cherished. Actually, you can try letting Los Angeles become chaotic; that way, your importance will be highlighted."()
