The drama of Little Johnny and Professor Luo's mission
The story begins with Little Johnny desperately searching for his father, Hero Sheng, in forests shrouded in a mysterious fog. Under the influence of the miasma, he hallucinates painful memories. Big Johnny, his alien protector, is also affected. Both collapse near the site of Sheng's death.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuwei (the Queen) plans a vacation with Lucky Cyan, but reveals that Little Johnny is on a “secret mission.” Upon regaining consciousness, the boy encounters Professor Luo, who explains that everything was caused by the corrupted powers of DJ Shindig , capable of awakening traumatic memories. Luo suspects a connection to the Spotlight Organization , which transforms fear into a weapon, in opposition to the scientific work of the Glimmer Lab .
Ghostblade under suspicion in To Be Hero X
Luo points out that they only survived thanks to Ghostblade, who is immune to Shindig's fear—perhaps because he lacks emotions. Meanwhile, Ghostblade receives a warning to maintain secrecy, as they are being monitored.
The team sets off to investigate an alien spaceship. Luo prevents her daughter Loli from entering for safety reasons, but praises the improvements she developed to the combat suit. Nuonuo comforts her, reinforcing the bond of friendship between the two.
The betrayal revealed and the return of E-Soul
Inside the ship, Big Johnny finds a secret passage leading the group to biological capsules, one of which is broken. In a flashback, Mr. Rock orders Ghostblade to eliminate Little Johnny—a mission the hero never completed.
Back in the present, Ghostblade attacks not Johnny, but E-Soul , sent by Mr. Rock to eliminate them. The confrontation between the two begins while, elsewhere on the ship, Professor Luo is approached by Hero Nice , now with murderous intentions.
Episode 19 brought not only the return of Nice and E-Soul, but also intrigues and internal conflicts that promise to profoundly impact future events. Ghostblade remains a key player, torn between orders and possible acts of protection for Little Johnny.
