Chapter 218 The End of the Nameless Man
Looking at the man in front of him who looked like a dead dog, Butcher's eyes were very complicated.
He did think that Kevin would take action against the people of the motherland, causing the people of the motherland to lose their superpowers, and then leave it to Butcher, the enemy of the motherland, to deal with it.
But Butcher didn't expect that the people of the motherland who lost their superpowers would look so...pathetic.
Butcher didn't know how long he had fantasized about this scene. Ever since he learned that his wife was forced by the people of the motherland, Butcher had been thinking about how to kill the people of the motherland almost every day.
But he can't do it, because he is an ordinary person, and the people of the motherland are the most powerful superhuman beings in the world.
But now, Butcher's dream is within reach.
The people of the motherland stood in front of him like a miserable lost dog, hunched over.
Even though the opponent was still wearing a hero uniform, Butcher could not feel his previous power at all.
For a moment, Butcher had some doubts as to whether the person standing in front of him was a native of his motherland.
Or is this just a stand-in who looks similar to a native of the motherland.
But it's a pity that the man from the motherland in front of him is indeed the real thing, because the moment he saw Butcher, he recognized him:
"You...you are...William Butcher?"
"Oh? You actually know me? This is really..."
"Why are you here? Wait...I understand, you are Kevin's! Did he kill Madeleine too?!"
The motherland suddenly became smarter, and he instantly guessed the reason why Butcher was here, and even guessed the reason why Madeleine died.
It's just a pity that even if he knows this now, it won't help.
Butcher wouldn't let him go.
"This has nothing to do with you anymore, bastard."
Butcher did not answer the motherland's question. He walked up to the motherland, grabbed his collar and pulled him up.
The people of the motherland tried to struggle, but they were powerless.
After losing his superpowers, he seems to be weaker than ordinary people.
"What are you going to do? Are you going to attack me?"
"I just attacked you, what can you do? Use your red eyes to shoot my ass? I'm afraid you can't shoot anything now, no, I guess you can still squeeze out a few tears to win me over. Sympathy.”
"Damn!! How could you-"
The motherland was angered by Butcher's words, and he raised his fist angrily and was about to beat Butcher.
However, the result was that Butcher grabbed the fist that was thrown out and held it tightly, unable to move.
Butcher shook his head and sighed:
"I'm afraid your current fists are not even as good as a little girl's. Do you want to give me a massage? If you want to beat someone up, do this-!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his right fist and hit the motherland hard in the face!
boom!
A dull, tooth-piercing crashing sound sounded.
The motherland man was knocked to the ground by Butcher's punch. There were bruises on his face, his mouth was full of blood, and several teeth spit out from his mouth. Butcher's punch actually broke his teeth!
Butcher did not stop abusing the people of his motherland.
He looked at the countryman whom he had beaten to the ground, and kicked him up, hitting him in the stomach, making him bend over. Then he punched and kicked him mercilessly, as if he was being beaten by a gangster. People do that, mercilessly beating the incapacitated people of the motherland.
In the van, Huey, who was following him, got up and wanted to stop Butcher.
But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Marvin.
Black Marvin held Huey's shoulders and shook his head slightly:
"You shouldn't disturb him now."
"But...he is a native of the motherland..."
"He deserves it Huey, you know how many families he has destroyed and how many people he has killed, you should have no sympathy for him."
Ma Wen persuaded him earnestly.
Yes, they all know what kind of person the motherland is and what kind of things he has done.
On the surface, the people of the motherland represent justice, but behind the scenes, they do evil things that leave countless families separated and their families destroyed.
Butcher was the victim, and Huey was technically an indirect victim.
So they should not feel sympathy for the people of the motherland now.
Any trace of sympathy is disrespectful to the victims.
After being persuaded by Marvin, Huey no longer looked at the natives who were beaten by Butcher. He just lowered his head and looked at his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.
Butcher's beatings continued. He wanted to let the people of his country know the pain, and he wanted to make the people of his country beg for mercy.
But this guy who has lost his abilities still retains the arrogance he had as a superhero:
"How dare you...! How dare you do this to me!! I am a native of the motherland!! Pfft--"
Before the motherland man could finish speaking, Butcher kicked him in the stomach again.
The blow was severe, and blood spurted out of his mouth again, but with a bruised nose and a swollen face, he still looked at Butcher with anger and hatred.
Butcher grabbed his hair, lifted him up from the ground, and asked strangely:
"It's already this time, do you still feel that you have something to rely on? Wake up, people of the motherland, no one here will come to save you, and no one will sympathize with you. This is your grave, the end of your life."
"you are lying!!"
The people of the motherland, with their mouths full of blood and their eyes red, roared at Bucher.
He has not dared to accept the facts until now, or perhaps he is already in a semi-crazy state and cannot understand the current situation at all.
The superhero named Homelander no longer exists, and all that remains here is an ordinary person named John.
With his enemy looking like this, Bucher felt a little bored in addition to the pleasure of getting revenge.
He originally thought that the fight between himself and the people of his motherland would be a more intense and more battle of wits and courage.
Butcher was ready to die for this matter at any time.
But now, his enemy easily fell at his feet and was beaten with his fists and kicks, even easier than bullying a child who was still in school.
This left Butcher feeling empty, even bored.
There was no point in bullying someone who couldn't resist, so Butcher decided to put an end to the boring job.
He took out his pistol and pointed it at the kneeling people of the motherland.
"...?"
John raised his head blankly, his forehead and the pistol were very close to each other, but his consciousness failed to react.
A pistol, a human weapon, a toy that John could not even look at.
At this moment, it could threaten his life.
The moment he was pointed at the gun, John finally regained his composure.
His mind couldn't help but recall everything in the past.
He was born in a laboratory and grew up in a laboratory. He has never received any love from his parents since he was a child, so he hopes to have people like his parents who can care for him.
The first person John considered a father figure was Wagbaum.
He raised John up, and the person John saw the most in the laboratory was Wagbaum.
Although Wagbaum was very indifferent and treated him no differently than other experimental subjects, John still had a fantasy in his heart that the other party could show even a little bit of care for him.
But in the end, Wogelbaum may feel guilty for him or sympathize with him, but there is absolutely no love from a father to his son.
To Wagbaum, John was just an experiment.
The person whom John later regarded as a father figure was Edgar.
The president of the Vought Group personally brought him out, gave him the identity of a native of the motherland, and made him a superhero, someone who stood in front of the camera.
John admired Edgar, at least he used to do so. Whatever he did, he hoped that Edgar would praise him with "well done", so that John felt that he would be happy for a long time.
But in the end, Edgar was the same.
He just regards him as a commodity. When there is a better commodity in front of him that can bring more profits to the Walter Group, he will abandon John mercilessly.
It's like throwing away a piece of trash.
Later, John fell in love with Maeve and then fell in love with Madeleine.
The former is because Maeve is the only woman who can withstand his strength, and he feels that they are the same kind.
The latter is because John found motherhood in Madeleine.
If there was a mother, John thought, it might be someone like Madeleine.
But Maeve hated him and distanced herself from him. Madeleine was killed by Butcher, and she was actually afraid of him until her death.
At the end of the day, does anyone in the world like him?
Does anyone in the world care about him?
John did not know the answer to this question, and he does not know the answer to this question now.
Perhaps from the beginning, his birth was a mistake, and everything about him was a mistake.
He should never have been born in this world.
"Heh...hehehe...hahahahaha...hahahahahahaha!!!"
Finally, facing the gun that could end his life, John laughed wildly.
He ignored the pain in his body and the death he was about to face, and just smiled maniacally.
He smiled so happily that he almost burst into tears and laughed until he almost stopped breathing.
John didn't say anything, just let out a heart-stopping laugh.
The laughter spread across the plains.
Butcher's finger on the trigger trembled slightly, but he did not pull the trigger. He looked at John who was laughing wildly in front of him and asked:
"what are you laughing at?"
"Hahahaha...! I'm laughing...I'm just a joke...Hahahaha, you...and I...are just a joke!"
"..."
John was still laughing, laughing like he had a virus that made people laugh like crazy.
Butcher closed his eyes slightly and didn't ask him the reason for laughing again, it wasn't important.
He just took a deep breath, tightened his finger on the trigger, then opened his eyes again, and pointed the gun at John's forehead firmly.
boom! !
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed across the plains, and the sharp bullet penetrated the eyebrows of the person in front of him.
There was a splatter of blood on the back of John's head, and he knelt on the ground, his body lying back under the impact of the bullet.
Finally, the body fell to the ground and fell into a pool of blood.
His eyes were still open, staring straight at the blue sky.
The corners of his mouth were raised, almost cracking to the base of his ears, as if in the last moment of his life, what he experienced was so beautiful, something so beautiful that he would never forget it even after death.
The nameless man named John, who was once the 'superhero' of his motherland, fell here.
Just as no one knows his birth, no one will know his death.
Looking at the bodies of the compatriots lying on the ground, Butcher also looked up at the sky.
The sun was still shining from the sky, and the dazzling sunlight almost made Butcher dizzy.
Butcher closed his eyes tightly, lowered his head and shook his head. He looked again at the bodies of the compatriots, and then at the gun in his hand that ended the life of the compatriots.
Butcher stroked the body of the gun and pointed the muzzle at himself faintly.
Until Huey called him from behind:
"Butcher, should we... leave?"
"..."
Butcher came back to his senses, removed the muzzle of the gun, glanced at the lifeless body below, and replied:
"The mission is over, boys. It's time for us to leave, taking him with us."
"Um...should we take his body with us?"
"certainly."
Butcher put away his gun and looked into the distance, where Kevin and the others were dealing with the storm.
After staring for a while, Butcher said:
"The mission is completed, we should bring some 'gifts' back to the boss, right?"
Butcher said, grinning.
Huey looked at the lifeless body of John silently.
Obviously, the 'gift' Butcher was talking about was John's body.
