Moon's resurrection has caused an uproar with the public.
Nice's Trust Value has plummeted as a result.
It appears his position in the top 10 may be a short-lived one.
The Eye of Truth, Enlighter, has also become God Eye,
taking Moon hostage to force Nice to appear.
This is a trap from your competitors!
Nice! Don't respond!
Don't respond!
Give them the silent treatment!
Don't respond! Give them the silent treatment!
My apologies, Mr. Shand.
This is my mistake.
Even we don't know where Moon went.
I don't know how Enlighter found her.
But rest assured, as long as we don't admit to anything,
supporters of Nice and Moon's love
Moon's "resurrection" causes massive stir, Nice falls into mire of public opinion
will be our best defenders.
This Enlighter guy has always wanted to tear Nice down.
Even the livestream incident was his doing!
There are so many people envious of Nice.
This guy is nothing special.
This Moon has to be a fake, played by an actor!
As expected, people are easily blinded by their own biases.
Then allow me to become everyone's eyes and show all of you reality!
In one hour, I will kill Moon.
Nice, you can either stick your head in the sand,
or you can come face me like a hero...
and admit to everything!
Don't go, Nice!
Don't go!
Not much time left for you!
Have you decided yet?
Don't worry, Mr. Shand.
He can't leave right now.
But Moon...
I've already sent someone to deal with her.
Save it. No matter how many times you try, the result will still be the same.
You can't leave.
Because your believers don't want you to leave.
They've waited so many years for Nice to finally reach the top 10.
Then what about Moon?
She's already dead.
You want to sacrifice her life for these believers?
Get this through your thick skull.
Without them, you would be nothing!
They created you.
They granted you your perfect appearance and powers.
To become a hero, to become Nice,
these are the chains that you must endure!
Okay. Don't worry too much.
Mr. Shand has arranged for someone to go save Moon.
The Commission finally steps in!
Treeman's Blankster has arrived and is providing support!
They even sent a "clean-up" specialist.
Nice, you're such a coward.
Blankster? "Clean-up" specialist?
He's a hero famous for his iron fist.
Not only can his punches deal physical damage,
he can also... destroy his opponent's memories.
...substitute host...
...exploitative assholes...
Moon! You—
God Eye and Moon are the only ones who know your secret identity aside from us.
If we erase his memories,
then no one else in the world will know you are Lin Ling.
After experiencing so much during this time,
it may not be a bad thing
for her to forget.
I've found... a flaw.
Treeman put in all that effort to package you into a hero...
Used all kinds of tricks to cover up your imperfections,
to forge your character to gain trust.
But in the end...
truth will prevail!
How did he get his hands on this information?
Hello, Mr. Shand.
Intercept his broadcast signal.
The IT team is working on it.
It'll need a bit of time.
We're out of time.
The information will spread once the believers see it.
If this continues,
Blankster's powers will be reduced to nothing.
Iron Fist is facing the biggest challenge of his career!
Right punch! And a left!
This is his first time in an amateur competition.
Though his skills aren't polished, his strength is shocking,
and his title of Iron Fist is quite fitting.
This isn't the real you.
The real you is this!
A third-rate boxer of mediocre talent who puts metal plates in his gloves.
Without your cheating tools, without your fake persona,
you're all just for show...
You're powerless!
Take a good look.
Once you tear apart
these heroes' fake packaging,
you'll find they're nothing on the inside.
Is it done yet? You have one minute.
Replace the broadcast with something else, or I'll replace all of you!
Nice! You're next!
I will let everyone see...
that underneath your perfect appearance...
all you have is a miserable soul.
What is a hero?
A ray of light in the midst of darkness.
A savior at the moment of crisis.
That being of perfection in our hearts.
In this era where heroes are forged by trust,
everyone creates heroes...
And everyone can become heroes!
TO BE HERO X!
Where did this crappy clip come from?
It's the newest promo video in your e-mail inbox.
Miss J!
Hey! Nice!
Stop struggling!
Don't respond!
Your supporters are keeping you from leaving!
Nice!
Who are you talking to?
I'm not Nice.
Stop him!
Yes, ma'am!
I actually don't really know what I want yet.
But I do know very well what I don't want.
I'm such an idiot.
What I wanted to become from the beginning wasn't Nice...
but a real hero.
Huh? Who's this guy?
Is he some hero?
I don't recall a hero that looks like him.
He's kind of dressed like Nice.
Is he a look-alike actor?
If I can't even protect the person I care about,
then there's no point in being a hero.
I'm actually not Nice.
No matter who you are, just be yourself.
I'd rather just be that normal person.
I didn't think his powers would diminish so quickly.
These supporters really are worthless.
They're quick to believe and quick to disbelieve.
Oh? The main character of the day finally arrives on stage.
It's time to let everyone see who you really are!
Who is that?
Nice?
No way, he's too skinny.
But he does look like Nice.
What's up with that hair color?
His physique is too thin.
What's going on?
Drive!
Hurry up and bring that kid back here!
Miss J!
What?
Why is our broadcast being interrupted again?
Nice is at the scene already?
Isn't that the guy who just ran out?
Now, please properly introduce yourself to the world.
The real Nice...
is dead.
My name is Lin Ling. I'm just a regular person.
It's over.
Nice is... dead?
Can someone please explain what's going on?
Nice is dead?
Is this for real?
This Lin Ling person used to be my coworker!
Didn't he jump to his death?
So who died, then?
They've been switched!
I was originally just an average, mediocre person.
I worked behind the scenes, designing promos and commercials for heroes.
Until one day, by sheer chance, I became Nice and inherited his Trust Value.
For a long time, I worked hard to make myself more like Nice.
I enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment from being a hero.
Even when someone warned me to remember myself,
I still held onto a false belief.
Now, I'm giving up the identity of Nice.
Can you—
Shut up!
Acting out a tragedy?
Is this another one of your PR stunts?
If you're going to apologize for being a fake,
then you should accept your punishment!
Can you let Moon go?
No! She's also guilty for colluding with you!
Okay.
Even if I don't have any Trust Value...
Even if I'm no longer Nice...
For Moon...
I must defeat you!
Is this guy insane?
What relationship does he have with Moon? It's all in his head.
But if Nice was dead a long time ago,
then the one who cried for Moon at the wedding must've been...
him!
This kid is hopeless.
He just gave up my future,
and now he's going to give up his life.
What is this guy doing?
He's got no powers, so why's he playing hero?
He's not going to die, is he?
Shouldn't the Commission do something?
Well, whoever interferes, that's the guilty party.
This fake hero stuff is like sticking wet hands into flour. Messy business.
And that concludes this farce.
Everybody should see now that
these "heroes," be they real or fake, can be created from nothing!
There are no more real heroes in this era!
And the ones responsible for this aren't just the Commission or the hero agencies,
but all of you in the audience!
Stop spouting nonsense...
What? Have you become addicted to playing hero?
Look, without your exquisite packaging,
who's going to cheer for a cheating clown like you?
I don't need anyone to cheer for me.
Anyone can become a hero.
Look at you now. You still think you can resist?
The moment I truly felt like I wanted to become a hero...
wasn't when I became Nice.
It wasn't when I reached the top 10.
It was when I truly developed feelings for someone.
Someone for whom I'm willing to give up everything to protect!
Yes!
You're asking for it!
Impossible!
Vulnerability detected. Vulnerability detected.
Wait!
Is this some kind of bug?
Hold it!
I've beaten so many heroes already!
You think a normal person like you can challenge me?
Die! Die! Die!
What was his name again?
I think his name is Lin Ling.
Why should you cheating assholes deserve to be respected and loved?
It's all because of this packaging!
I'll tear it right off! I'll show everyone...
who really deserves to be revered as a hero!
Go, Lin Ling!
Yes!
Get him!
How is this possible...
Where's his power coming from?
Stand up! Stand up!
There are vulnerabilities everywhere!
What am I supposed to do?
You're insane... Insane! You've gone crazy!
Hm, this person is quite interesting. I'd like to sign him.
Yes, sir. I'll notify Headhunter right away—
I'll contact him directly.
Otherwise, someone else is going to steal him.
What's his hero name?
He doesn't have a title. His name is Lin Ling.
Lin Ling! Lin Ling! Lin Ling!
He's also not a hero. He's just a regular person.
Why has he suddenly become so strong?
What... What is the truth...?
Yes!
He's willing to sacrifice himself for Moon!
He really is the one from the wedding!
Mr. Shand! Lin Ling's Trust Value shot back up to Nice's level from before!
I'm going to pin everything on Enlighter.
Everyone's focus is on Lin Ling right now.
Nobody's going to care about anything else.
Moon! Moon!
I'm sorry I took so long.
But I've finally found the direction my heart wants.
You tricked me with a mannequin?
Where is Moon?
How should I know where she is?
All of this was to bait you into telling the truth.
You—You're an anti-fake and yet you used a fake?
Shameless!
Right back at you.
Now you understand why I hate fakes.
Extremist "God Eye" arrested, mysterious organization "Spotlight" stirs fear
Following the arrest of God Eye, the mysterious Spotlight Organization
once again brings fear to the masses.
The Commission expressed great concern and has formed a special investigation team.
Lin Ling has shown heroic behavior in the defeat of God Eye.
His Trust Value remains at rank 10 within the Commission.
My name is Moon.
I was an actress.
I was given a chance to go wherever my heart desired.
I secretly wished to go to a place where no one knew me
and where no one would disturb me.
But I didn't expect it to be an uninhabited island.
To make matters worse,
I'd gone and thrown out my teleportation device.
I guess I'll just have to spend the rest of my life here, all by myself.
You left so quickly that you forgot about this.
So, are you having fun?
I don't ever want to have such a long vacation ever again!
