Chapter 76 Lamplighter Codename: Lamplighter Type: Energy Special Ability 1: Flame Burst, cannot cast fire itself, but can slightly increase the power of all fire abilities. It can be fully copied and is expected to require continuous contact for 20 seconds. Although the ability is very monotonous, it is still practical for him and does not take long. Levi feels that there is no reason for him to miss it, as it can be combined with Jintong's ability. "I don't think there is anything to talk about between us. I am just a retired third-rate guy, and you are about to become one of the Seven." Having said that, the lamplighter did not move. It was not only because he vaguely felt that Levi had no ill will towards him, but also because he was very curious about Levi's purpose, and he even had a very bold guess. Even without telepathy, Levi could see that the lamplighter was not being sincere. He smiled and said, "You are too modest. I heard that you are a genius and you showed super powers at the age of 4." Hearing this, the lamplighter couldn't help but feel nostalgic: "Yeah, I was indeed a damned child prodigy. When I was 4 years old, I burned down my house." "But your father must be very proud of you?"
"Oh, that's true. He is proud of me." Having said this, the lamplighter unconsciously let go of his hostility. He put away his lighter, picked up a chair and sat down. He was not even on guard against Levi anymore. He was emo. "You should have had a great future, but I found that you suddenly became a wimp. What changed you?" Faced with Levi's impolite questioning, the lamplighter subconsciously wanted to get angry, but after thinking about his own situation, he became much more depressed. "Are you here to laugh at me? You are wrong. I have heard similar words countless times from my countrymen." "Oh, so you're from my country? Why don't I feel weird at all?" "So, you are filled with hatred, but there is no hope of revenge, so you can only give up on yourself?" The lamplighter stood up suddenly and said, "No, I am not." Halfway through his shouting, the lamplighter suddenly realized something: "You want to deal with the Homelanders?" Levi didn't comment, but just took out a photo of a Frenchman and threw it to the lamplighter. "Do you know him?" The lamplighter's pupils shrank instantly. Even though several years had passed, he still remembered this face. If that guy had continued to follow me, I might not have killed those two children because of misunderstanding! He suddenly became a little excited: "Where did you get it from? Do you know what happened to me?" "Does that matter? What matters is that it's not just you who's feeling guilty about it, it's him too." "Now that he's dead, are you going to continue to sink into despair, or do you want to find a way to atone for this?" The lamplighter was silent again. "Besides death, what other way can be considered as atonement? Do you want me to go to Mallory and turn myself in?" Levi chuckled and shook his head: "Oh, no, Sean, you should know very well that you were just a tool in that incident. You were not their real target."
It's just that Mallory and the Butcher messed up because they were too confident. They were just ordinary people. Why did they think they could control a superhero like the Lamplighter? The lamplighter simply overturned the table and stopped playing. They could only flee like stray dogs, and even the black robe team was forced to disband. The lamplighter took a deep breath and said in a very sure tone: "So you have to deal with the people of your country." Mallory had caught him with evidence and wanted him to tell him some secrets about Homelander. He didn't dare to betray Homelander, so naturally he could only think about killing Mallory. In this sense, the Homelanders can indeed be considered the culprit. Coupled with the countless times of discrimination and bullying he had suffered from his homeland in the past, he had enough reasons to hate his homeland, but he just didn't have the ability to take revenge himself. "Oh, you said that yourself, but if you have the same idea, then just wait patiently." Although he had no idea where Levi got his confidence from, the lamplighter gritted his teeth after thinking quickly. "My ability is completely ineffective against him. Even if I risk my life, the most I can do is splatter his blood." Li Wei thought that the lamplighter was very self-aware: "So you don't need to deal with him. You just need to save your own life and wait for the day of judgment to come, and list his crimes. That's enough." Maeve wanted Homelander to be disgraced before she let him die. Now that I have done all this, I can give Maeve a general explanation. The lamplighter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he hated his own cowardice. From the beginning to the end, he was afraid of his fellow countrymen. This discovery made him very unwilling and even more angry. He solemnly promised: "Don't worry, angel, I will persist until that day, and I will definitely repay you!" "That's not necessary. So, are we friends now?" Friends? Actually, the lamplighter didn't think so, but at this special moment, he really didn't need to embarrass Levi and make both sides lose face. So he forced a smile: "Of course, we are friends!" Levi stood up with a smile and extended his hand: "Happy cooperation?" "Happy cooperation!" When shaking hands, the lamplighter's first feeling was that the angel's hands were damn cold. Fortunately, he did not act impulsively just now, otherwise it would be hard to say how much of a threat he could have posed to the angel. The second feeling was, why did the angel hold his hand for so long? And so hard? Could it be that because he had just cursed at me, the angel wanted to take revenge on him in this way? Wasn't he too petty? Levi didn't know that the lamplighter would think of him like this, but he didn't care about it. He just held the other's hands tightly and successfully copied the burst of flames. Next, I need to acquire the abilities of Stormfront. The conversion of these energies will take me a long time to develop. Just as he was thinking about it, Levi's ears moved slightly, and he heard an extremely subtle sound of thunder, which was approaching at a very fast speed. Although he didn't hear anything special, the lamplighter immediately guessed it when he noticed Levi's movements. His expression changed slightly. "Is Stormfront back? Angel, you should leave as soon as possible. Leave this to me." "Won't that be a bit troublesome for you? How about this, you cooperate with me a little. I really want to see what her expression will be after I discover this secret!"
What expression? Certainly not happy. After a dozen breaths, Stormfront looked at the lamplighter who seemed to have been knocked unconscious by Levi and thrown into the corner. She gritted her teeth and asked, "You followed me?" Although for Levi, who is about to join the Seven, knowing this secret is not a big deal. But on Walter's side, Edgar's evaluation of her will definitely drop drastically, and she is really unhappy about it! Li Wei chuckled and said, "Why do you have to say it so harshly? I just want to know more about you because I am obsessed with you. I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain." After a slight pause, Levi deliberately looked at the other party's exquisite curves, and said with some ill intentions: "Stormfront, you don't want the secrets here to be exposed because of you, right?" As an old witch born in 1919, Stormfront certainly couldn't be coerced by Levi so easily. In addition, Levi had caused her trouble before, and the two sides were not on the same page, so the verbal dispute soon turned into a fist fight. However, since it was not a life-and-death hatred and they were indoors, they could not use their ultimate skills at will, lest they overturn the laboratory, so both sides were very restrained in the fight. Stormfront simply applied lightning to his fists, trying to beat Levi up with it. This is more in line with Levi's wishes. Stormfront is not a superhero who is particularly good at fighting, at least for him who copied Maeve's abilities. In this situation, even though he only used a small portion of his strength, he quickly gained the upper hand. He even had the energy to take advantage of the fight to have some intimate physical contact with Stormfront, which almost looked like he was teasing her. This made Stormfront very unhappy, especially after Levi punched her twice in the chest and then touched her twice on the back, her anger grew even more. She can enjoy the admiration, praise and love of ordinary people, and she doesn't even mind having a relatively intimate relationship with some outstanding men, but this kind of almost insulting teasing is definitely not included! So they fought more and more fiercely, and the noise of the fight soon alarmed everyone in the Sage Grove. Even the lamplighter who had pretended to be unconscious quietly slipped away along the corner of the wall. He couldn't afford to offend these two guys. If he really got hit, he would have to stay in bed for at least two months. He seemed to begin to understand why Levi was so bold, because he was really very capable! And even though they had not met for long, he was still almost certain that this was definitely not Levi's full strength! After having his butt touched again, Stormfront finally couldn't help but explode. "Asshole, are you really here to fight me?" Levi looked innocent: "Of course not, I'm just very curious about you and want to know more about you, I didn't expect you to mind so much." Although he was smiling, Levi was not as optimistic as he appeared. He just tried to use a little bit of his mental ability without being noticed by the other party, but as expected, he found that it had basically no effect. After so many years of electricity charging, Stormfront's body has long been filled with the power of thunder and lightning. In addition, her ability was further activated when she fought with herself, so she has a high resistance to it. Unless you knock her out or use all your abilities to try to control her by force, there will basically be no practical effect. If we don't want to leave any clues, we'll probably have to ask Kate for help with this kind of professional stuff. Stormfront was immediately amused. Are you just curious? You are clearly just greedy for my body! This was not the first time she had encountered someone with similar intentions towards her, but this was the first time she had seen someone use such a special method! "I'll make you curious!" She gathered strength in both hands and summoned a giant thunder python several meters thick. It rushed towards Levi like a running train. This time she used some of her true strength. Levi quickly summoned a shield of light in front of him, and then summoned an armor of light for himself. Then he pretended to be knocked away by the opponent, broke the window, and escaped from the sage bush.
From a distance, he deliberately stretched out his voice and said, "What a disgusting feeling. I will definitely come back~" Although he had no idea what the joke was, Stormfront could still feel the teasing tone in it very directly. She became even angrier at that moment, her towering chest heaving up and down, and she immediately wanted to chase after him. In the spacious space outside, she can use her superpowers without restraint. Even if she has to risk being scolded by Edgar, she must take revenge, otherwise she will not be able to sleep well at night! But at this moment the lamplighter suddenly screamed: "Half of the room is destroyed, Stormfront, we can't let them escape!" That's right. Because of the attack from Stormfront just now, the doors and walls of many rooms on the west side were destroyed from the outside. At this moment, there are already several people poking their heads and looking out from inside. Stormfront glared at Levi's rapidly receding back fiercely: "I'll let you go this time, but I'll definitely punish you next time!" (End of this chapter)
