Chapter 28 New clues Sometimes, bitches just have to push them a little more. Just after Levi told Xingguang about the portable power bank, received a few kisses and the praises of Water employees, and took some photos for publicity, not long after he left Water Building, Hughie called again and said they had done it. They knew that Ezekiel was bisexual and liked to play in multiplayer, which seriously violated his external image. Ezekiel has prayed more than once in public, in the name of a faithful servant of God, that all gay men in the world would disappear and has said a firm no to homosexuality. Once the truth is revealed, his character will completely collapse, and not even Walter's public relations department can save him. So Huey used coaxing and coercion to make Ezekiel tell part of the truth. The place where Kimiko was imprisoned was just a temporary laboratory. In fact, they transported Compound No. 5 to several hospitals across the country and conducted experiments on the seriously ill patients there. Without knowing about Compound No. 5, it is difficult for ordinary doctors to figure out how the patient died. In the end, they often end the case hastily and attribute it to the onset of a serious illness. American doctors, who have long been commercialized, do not have much compassion. Now they have gone even further and begun to extend their hands to the Children's Hospital. This is something that the butcher and others cannot understand and cannot tolerate. So they decided to go and find out, and told Levi the relevant information.
The Butcher and his men have already made a decision. Now that the King of Cards' purpose has been made clear, they can at least become temporary allies before overthrowing Homelander. Of course, they will definitely not stop the relevant investigation. Now all of their intelligence has been found out by the other party, but they only know that the other party is a young Asian male. The combat power of both parties was originally not at the same level, and now the information is extremely asymmetric, which makes them completely without any bargaining power, which makes them very uncomfortable. Levi knew very well that compound No. 5 was most effective when injected into infants. After repeated injections, in addition to possibly strengthening the body to a certain extent, it is also possible that super powers will be born. The older the person is, the higher the mortality rate and the worse the effect. Exceptions will only occur for very few gifted people, or special beings like the protagonists who are favored by fate. As far as Levi knows, there are less than 10 such people. The Butcher, Breast Milk, the Frenchman, Huey, Huey's dad, Kimiko, and the brother Levi was looking for, Kimiko's brother. Look, they are either the protagonists or relatives related to the protagonists. This is why Levi is willing to patiently play house with the butcher and the others. Finally, there is Zoe, the underage daughter of Victoria Newman, who can control blood and is commonly known as the Exploding Head Girl, and has not appeared yet. It is slightly worth mentioning that this Newman is not a superhero registered by Walt, but a politician who is eligible to run for president. It's incredible, isn't it? Just when Vought's vice president, Madeline, was trying hard to send superheroes to the army but failed, someone was already far ahead of her. But this is certainly not entirely due to Newman's own efforts. More importantly, she has a hidden special identity, that is, the real controller of the 82nd floor of Water, the adopted daughter of President Edgar. But that has nothing to do with Levi for the time being, and Levi doesn't want to deal with the other party in advance. Newman's ability to control blood is quite strong. Ordinary weaker superheroes may be shot in the head by Newman, so she earned the title of "Headshot Girl". She is also a very strong threat to first-line superheroes. She once silently caused Starlight to bleed from the nose as a warning. Based on this calculation, she can also threaten Levi now.
At the same time, based on the consistent characteristics of Water's superheroes, her defense is also extremely strong. Ordinary firearms or sulfuric acid, etc., are completely ineffective against her. And even if the head doesn't explode, explosions in other parts of the body are no joke, especially for men. They have one more weakness than women, that is, the blood vessels there are very dense, and it can be said that they are being restrained by Newman. Levi hasn't yet mastered Kimiko's super-speed self-healing ability. If he really gets hit, it will be no joke. Even if he recovers in the future, it may leave a psychological trauma. Fortunately, Levi has no conflict with Newman at present, and it is even possible that the two sides will cooperate in the future. Levi is still very interested in the ability to control blood. As we all know, a man's private parts rely on blood to stand. If one has the ability to control blood, wouldn't it be possible to make it stand permanently? Although Levi didn't really need it, he was indeed very curious. If you think about it this way, Newman's husband might be exploited very badly. Maybe it's time to mention the schedule for going to Godokin University. There is also a black woman there who has the same ability as Newman, but I don't know if she has enrolled yet. After sorting out the relevant information, Levi went to the supermarket next door, bought a bunch of snacks, and threw a lollipop into his mouth. As a superhero, he consumes a lot of energy every day, so it is normal for him to eat a lot. More importantly, if things don't go too drastically wrong, in the children's hospital provided by the Butcher and his team, there is a super-powered baby who can shoot lasers with his eyes. Levi planned to bribe him with these snacks later to see if he could copy the baby's superpowers. By the way, let's verify his other conjecture. My system needs a positive response from the other party before it can start copying. If the other party doesn't understand or is mute, how can I judge whether the other party agrees? After shopping, Levi found a place to change into casual clothes, put on a mask and glasses, and dressed himself up as a nerd. Then he called a taxi and planned to go to the children's hospital. Even though his current strength is already very good, he decided to keep a low profile as much as possible before the Butcher and others really attract the attention of the motherland. After the taxi started, when Levi habitually scanned the surroundings, he suddenly made an unexpected discovery: there was a stalker behind him. After thinking about it casually, Levi roughly guessed that it definitely wouldn't be Walter, because Walter would definitely not be so amateur. Walter has registered a lot of security companies under his command to maintain order when the superheroes attend daily activities, etc. If he just picked some people, they wouldn't be so bad, not to mention that they have a large number of superheroes to mobilize. The famous locomotive is the best tracker, with a speed of more than 300 meters per second, coupled with a reaction speed that perfectly matches it, it is simply too outrageous. This even led to the emergence of two very special jokes on the Internet, namely the "grabbing food flow" and the "feeding shit flow". What he meant was that with the speed of a locomotive, he didn't even need to fight the enemy head-on. He could just rely on his own super high speed to snatch the enemy's food, and the enemy would starve to death. There is no need to explain too much about the shit-feeding flow, the enemy will die from being stuffed to death. Even though Levi felt that he was already very strong, he had no good way to counter the locomotive that used these two tactics. If you really want to become his enemy, the best way is to launch a sneak attack first and kill the locomotive instantly, or use the telekinesis you just obtained to control him briefly and then kill him instantly. Of course, given the locomotive's pride, it would be almost impossible for him to use these two methods. And if it is a head-on battle, the locomotive will not pose any threat to the first-line superheroes. Most of the superheroes in the Black Robe World have low offense and high defense, and Locomotive is a typical example. He is basically unable to break the defense of superheroes at the level of Levi and Starlight. Logically speaking, with his speed and weight, his inertia alone could cause quite astonishing damage, but in reality his attack power is at best at the level of a sniper rifle. He is the type of person who is very good at bullying weak opponents, but can only barely protect himself when facing a truly strong opponent. This is extremely unscientific. He is just like the Flash from DC next door. Whenever something big happens, he has to offer sacrifices to the gods first, and he can't exert much of his real strength at all.
However, with the emergence of something even more unscientific like Compound No. 5, the problem with the locomotive is not a big deal in comparison. This is not a world that can be fully explained by science! This is a bit off topic. After thinking about it casually, Levi felt that if nothing unexpected happened, it should be Starlight that followed. But Xingguang followed her, most likely just to find out if she was cheated on. Levi had never really thought about dating her, and he had a lot of things to do every day. After copying her superpowers, he would definitely not have much time to play with her. In Xingguang's opinion, this is what happened because after Levi got her body, he immediately became cold towards her, just like a scumbag. After several attempts failed to produce clear results, she must have wanted to try to find the truth herself. I have to say that women are born actors. She didn't show any emotion at all just now. However, for Levi, this might be a good opportunity. To Levi, the innocent and naive Starlight is no different from an inflatable doll. Perhaps it is time for her to see the dark and cruel reality. If she can accept this and decides to resist, then we can do it together. If not, just kick her out to avoid getting yourself into more trouble in the future! (End of this chapter)
