Chapter 877

"Mr. Broly, this is the list of all participants who signed up for the beauty pageant in K City. Please take a look."

In an event planning company, the person in charge of organizing the beauty pageant handed a thick stack of name lists to the tall figure sitting on the sofa.

"I don't care about this. I only care when the beauty pageant starts and when I can see all the participants with my own eyes."

"The beauty pageant events are already proceeding rapidly; it's just that the venue approval still needs some time————"

"Fine. Once you've got it sorted, contact me again."

"Ah, then Mr. Broly, won't you look at the participants' information first?"

"I only want to see the real people. I have no interest in looking at some list."

"Then regarding the judges for the beauty pageant, does Mr. Broly have any arrangements?"

"You handle it. I'm paying so you can serve me, not so you can come ask me about every problem."

Leaving those words, Broly stood up and left the office, leaving the person in charge of organizing the beauty pageant alone in the room, looking rather disheveled.

In this day and age, rich people who spend lavishly out of their own pockets to hold beauty pageants aren't rare, but the person in charge had truly never seen one who threw money down and then directly acted like a slacking shopkeeper.

Private beauty pageant, you know — those who understand, understand. If it's not the sponsor wanting to promote someone, then the sponsor wants to find a beauty.

In the former case, they at least have to hint at who the designated contestant is; in the latter, the gold master has to explain their own definition and preference for beauties.

But now, neither mentioning a designated contestant nor stating preferences, acting just like they really want to hold a fair and just beauty pageant — instead, it makes people not know what to do.

"Forget it. Let's just treat it as a normal beauty pageant without shady dealings and hold it. Just try to find some guys with flexible bottom lines as judges, so that situation doesn't arise where that major donor suddenly has some idea but the judges don't cooperate."

The person in charge went to find the boss for advice. The president of this company that accepts all kinds of event planning and execution chose a relatively secure approach.

And Broly, who had left, was strolling on the streets of K City. Over a month had passed, and he still hadn't found any capture targets in this world.

So, he adopted the method he used before to find capture targets: throwing out large sums of money, commissioning relatively efficient event planning agencies in different cities to organize beauty pageants in their respective cities.

Although Broly didn't know what the capture targets in this world looked like, judging from the quality of the wives in the Crystal Palace, they were definitely people of outstanding appearance. (Of course, not ruling out the Scorpio type.)

Broly throwing money to hold beauty pageants in various cities was mainly to cast a wide net, trying to gather the beauties of this world together for viewing.

As for whether he could find this world's capture targets among them, that was hard to say, but it was still better than him wandering aimlessly in this world alone with no leads.

"What exactly is the reason for the massive appearance of mosquitoes this year? We have invited Professor Kafuji, a mosquito expert who has published several works, to answer for everyone————"

When Broly passed by an appliance specialty store, the smart TV inside was playing a news segment. It seemed a large number of mosquitoes had gathered, presenting an abnormal migration phenomenon, and this phenomenon had already affected the survival of humans in the city.

"This world, besides the endless stream of various mysterious beings, I didn't expect even mosquitoes could become a plague?"

Broly paused on the street. After watching the news on TV about the mosquito plague heading toward Z-City and the host reminding Z-City citizens to evacuate to shelters, he directly took flight and headed for Z-City.

Of course, he wasn't thinking of going to eliminate the mosquito plague. He just wanted to check out the shelters in Z-City. After all, the entire city's population was going to shelters because of the mosquito plague — wouldn't the gathering effect of those shelters now be even better than a beauty pageant?

Broly arrived at Z-City before long, but just as he arrived, he frowned. Because the mosquito swarms had already invaded the city, within his ki sense, Z-City was full of dense, faint breaths everywhere, making it a bit difficult for him to distinguish the direction of the shelters.

"Forget it. Better go down and find a city map first."

Broly fell from the sky, landing on the streets of Z-City, and began searching for a bookstore or newsstand.

During this time, some mosquito swarms noticed him and wanted to treat him as a blood meal.

But after flying within three meters, these mosquito swarms just went limp and fell *huala* from midair.

The Plundering Qi Aura is a divine skill for clearing mobs, and when used for mosquito repellent, it's equally peerless.

The tiny bit of qi on a mosquito's body, once entering Broly's Plundering Qi Aura, would rapidly be plundered, lose vitality, and die.

"Found it."

Broly was completely unaffected by the mosquito swarms. He found a Z-City map in a newsstand, located the specific positions of the shelters on the map, and prepared to leave.

But before Broly could leave, a pillar of flame fell from the sky, smashing into the mosquito swarms on the right-side street.

Instantly, a smell of scorched protein spread out.

The choking smell made Broly pinch his nose, and his brows furrowed.

"Are you okay?"

A voice came from above. A blond youth whose whole body had undergone massive mechanical modification descended slowly, his palm pushing against flames.

"I was fine originally, but after you burned them with your flames, my nose is suffering now."

Broly looked at the newcomer with some dissatisfaction. Suddenly setting fire to burn mosquito corpses — simply sick in the head.

"Uh, I just now wanted to save you————"

Genos was stunned for a moment. Discovering Broly really didn't have the slightest problem, he began to apologize seriously.

"Sorry. It seems your body should have other mosquito-repelling methods."

"Forget it. You meant well too."

Since the other party had apologized, Broly didn't intend to quibble. He waved his hand and said so.

There exist some professional heroes in this world. Perhaps the one before him was one of them.

It's just that the other party did a good deed that turned out badly, that's all.

"Although I don't know what your mosquito-repelling method is, you should listen to the alarm and evacuate to a shelter."

Genos's handsome face turned serious. He looked toward the sky on the left-side street.

"Buzz~"

Because of that incineration cannon just now, he had already alarmed the mosquito swarms invading the city.

There, a mass of dark, dense mosquito swarms was flying toward this side.

"I am indeed preparing to go to a shelter. It's just that I'm not too familiar with this city, so that's why I'm here looking for a city map,

checking where exactly the shelters are."

Broly shook the city map in his hand.

"Wanting to go to a shelter is already a bit late now. Right now, quickly go find a closed place and hide yourself first."

Genos left those words. His metal arm raised, aiming at the incoming mosquito swarms, and a pillar of flame sprayed out from his metal palm.

The mosquito swarms were burned away, revealing a slender figure behind them. That was a mosquito woman possessing some mosquito characteristics.

"The one driving mosquitoes everywhere to suck blood, making these annoying things swarm and migrate to form a disaster — that's you, right?!"

"So what if it is?"

"Then naturally I'll kill you, and solve this abnormal mosquito plague!"

"If you can do it, then come try, children, suck that guy's blood dry for me!"

The sewer manhole cover was suddenly knocked flying, and a large swarm of mosquitoes rushed out from the sewer, closing in on Genos.

"Incineration Cannon!"

Although it was somewhat sudden, Genos still made a timely reaction, flames once again spraying out from his palm heart.

Only this time, besides that swarm of blood-sucking mosquitoes, the Mosquito Girl in the sky also cooperated in the attack.

Burn the mosquito swarm, the master behind the swarm appears, the swarm goes down the sewer to attack, the mosquito master cooperates to conduct a pincer attack from two sides.

All this happened very fast, the battle was practically on the verge of breaking out at any moment, Broly was right at the side, like a forgotten passerby, watching the mosquito-burning mechanical modified human at close range, deliberately exposing an opening to that Mosquito Girl, using a metal arm as the price, at the same time as being pierced by the spike on the Mosquito Girl's head, his other metal hand also tore off a pair of mosquito legs from the Mosquito Girl's lower body.

Judging from the movement, that mechanical modified human should have wanted to drag the Mosquito Girl down, only he didn't expect the Mosquito Girl's legs to be unexpectedly so fragile, thereby turning into a situation of trading injury for injury.

Since there was a lively spectacle to watch, Broly wasn't in a hurry to leave either, he took out an oxygen tank from the Crystal Palace Space and held it over his nose and mouth, isolating the foul smell of scorched protein from the outside world, then watched the mechanical modified human and Mosquito Girl's fight and slaughter with great interest.

Of course, it wasn't that either side's strength was all that strong, just that suddenly seeing two crickets fighting by the roadside, he, having some idle time, stopped his steps to watch at the side.

"Throw a punch, idiot."

"Use your hook claw to hook him!"

When watching chess, a silent onlooker is a true gentleman, but when watching a fight, pointing fingers is the norm.

Watching the mechanical modified human and Mosquito Girl, exposing various openings during their mutual attacks yet being ignored by both, Broly couldn't help but act as an off-field commander.

And the nature was just like a person fighting crickets, shouting at the battling crickets "Bite it here," "Bite it there."

Only, there was still a difference, crickets don't understand human speech, but Genos and Mosquito Girl could understand.

At first, this off-field commander Broly's words only made them feel noisy.

But after listening to Broly's opinions and attacking the opponent really gaining some advantages, Genos and Mosquito Girl both believed this off-field commander's grasp of battle timing, and began to seize the various openings the opponent exposed, conducting even more fierce mutual attacks.

The result was a sharp rise in battle intensity, Genos's waist-side mechanical structure was torn off a piece by Mosquito Girl, and Mosquito Girl's hook claw was also broken on one side by Genos.

"Damn it, if we keep fighting like this, I'm afraid I'll meet my end here."

Mosquito Girl flapped her wings to pull away distance, losing both legs greatly affecting her balance.

"Don't think about escaping!"

Mosquito Girl flew toward the distance, Genos hurriedly followed, but was obstructed by the mosquito swarm.

【Who wants to run, wait until I concentrate all blood and evolve again, watch how I kill you!】

Mosquito Girl thought viciously.

Although the majority of humans in this city had gone to evacuate and hide, letting the mosquito swarm she manipulated fail to suck blood, the animals in the forest outside the city had not hidden.

"Concentrate, all my children!"

Mosquito Girl flew to high altitude, swarm after swarm of mosquitoes converged toward her like streams entering the sea, quickly forming a huge mosquito swarm composed of countless mosquitoes in the sky, blotting out the sun, letting the street blocks below be covered in shadow.

After seeing the huge mosquito swarm above his head, Genos also judged that blood for Mosquito Girl was probably not simply just food, just as he realized he must solve the thing above his head as soon as possible, and was also preparing to act and do so, a bald head holding insecticide chasing a mosquito and spraying, ran over this way from a street in another direction.

As expected, Genos and Saitama had a dialogue, Broly was somewhat speechless, in his Ki Sense, Mosquito Girl's breath was rapidly growing stronger in the huge mosquito swarm, the mechanical modified human didn't interrupt the opponent's energy gathering, but instead spoke with the suddenly appearing bald head, making him not know what to say.

"Hey, that mechanical modified human, if you don't make a move soon, you won't be able to beat that mosquito woman."

Thinking it over, Broly still reminded the other party with a sentence.

", it's you, what a coincidence, you're also chasing a mosquito over here?"

Saitama turned his head, upon seeing Broly, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he started greeting.

"Who are you?"

Being greeted by Saitama, Broly was somewhat baffled.

"Come on, although I don't look that outstanding, it's not to the point where a person I met just over a month ago has zero impression of me, right?"

Saitama pointed at himself, his finger unknown whether intentional or not, but somewhat tilted upward, pointing toward his own bald shiny head.

Although somewhat unwilling to admit, he knew his biggest memory point was this bald, wiped-clean-enough-to-reflect-light head.

"Oh, it's you, sorry, you weren't wearing that earth-yellow outfit from last time, and your hands weren't wearing red rubber gloves, a bit didn't recognize you."

Saitama:

Although not recognized by Broly at the first moment, this feeling of not being recognized instead gave him a kind of emotion.

Finally, someone doesn't remember me by my bald head, but by the hero uniform I wear when acting as a hero!

As expected, the person before me is worthy of being someone who can bring me that eager-to-try feeling, wanting to exchange blows in battle.

"Boom~"

When Saitama looked toward Broly with scorching gaze, the Mosquito Girl who was disturbed by Genos but still completed evolution, was demonstrating her power after growing stronger.

"Mosquitoes, hah, I don't need them anymore, after all, the current me is already this powerful!"

Missing limbs grew back, the Mosquito Girl whose whole body glowed blood-red just casually waved a claw, and a nearby office building was easily slashed into two halves.

The powerful strength after evolving by devouring massive amounts of blood let Mosquito Girl's face show an invincible-in-the-world expression, she rapidly charged toward Genos.

And as expected, Genos completely couldn't parry the Mosquito Girl whose speed had violently increased after evolution, and just as he prepared to self-destruct his core and perish together with the enemy, Saitama's palm suddenly arrived in front of the Mosquito Girl who was preparing to give him the final blow.

"Buzz buzz buzz, so noisy, can you be a little quieter?"

The arrogant Mosquito Girl, in a turn of an instant, became a pool of blood splattered on the nearby residential building.

In mid-air, Genos who was prepared to self-destruct widened his mouth, somewhat dumbfounded.

Broly, seeing there was no more lively spectacle to watch, directly chose to leave.

He still had to take advantage before the mosquito plague influence passed, to go check the situation at Z City's shelter side.

And before leaving, Broly glanced at the Blood Building which still had a trace of faint breath.

That Mosquito Girl's breath was still there, unknown if that bald head held back, or if the other party missed.

However, these had nothing to do with him; he had only come to Z-City to look for possible Capture targets.

"Haha, the World is finally quiet~"

Slapping Mosquito Girl away with one palm, Saitama exhaled.

"Alright, regarding last time, I want to————"

He turned his head, and his voice stopped.

"No, where's the person? How did they disappear silently again?!"

Saitama had wanted to bring up the matter of last time's battle invitation, but unexpectedly Broly disappeared again.

He sighed, preparing to return home.

"Wait————"

However, the Funding Warrior lying on the ground and currently unable to crawl up called out to him.

"Do you have something you want me to help call an ambulance for, or do you want me to help call a machine repair shop?"

""

Saitama looked at the tattered gold-haired youth on the ground, showing a vigilant expression: "First, let me state, I have no money to advance your treatment fee or repair fee."

"No, I'm fine; my body's condition, I'll handle it myself later. I just want to ask, what's your name?"

【His body is almost severed in two, yet he's fine—machines are truly powerful!】

Saitama felt some amazement in his heart, then answered: "My name is Saitama."

"Mr. Saitama, please accept me as your disciple!"

Genos shouted.

"Oh, uh————"

Saitama nodded, just preparing to leave, when he suddenly reacted.

"?"

Astonished, he looked at the cyborg on the ground.
