The situation is not encouraging.

After shutting off the com, Aldrich fell silent, while on the other side, several other superheroes had already cast doubtful glances.

"Aldrich, what's wrong? Suddenly turned off the full-range communication. ”

"What did the Ten Commandments find?"

"Is it something that needs to be kept secret?"

Iron Man, Kingfisher, and Heartmaker came up at the same time, this kind of behavior was completely unnoticed by Aldridge before, but now he subconsciously tensed his spirit, and his eyes hidden under the goggles swept sharply over the three superheroes in front of him, and he thought to himself.

Aquaman is a hero created by the emperor?

If this is the case, I am afraid that the secret of this operation has already been leaked, no wonder the emperor has not been found, maybe he has escaped by now.

The question is, if there is an Aquaman, will there be anyone else?

If it were the emperor, maybe he wouldn't be willing to run away, but find a way to trap the entire hero team, maybe even the inner ghost is not just the Sea King?

Who else will be the inner ghost?

Who is the superhero made by the emperor?

Iron?

Kingfisher?

Messenger?

Aldrich exhaled lightly, suppressing the anxiety in his heart, and then said: "Indeed, the Ten Commandments have discovered a very important secret, sorry, I can't say it for the time being. ”

"Okay."

"It's fine."

"Since you said so, sheriff, I won't pursue it."

Aldrich's twenty-year reputation made the three superheroes not delve into it, and although they were a little dissatisfied, they still expressed their trust in him.

But Aldrich can no longer trust the three superheroes in front of him.

It's like Aquaman, he has a pretty good personal relationship with Aldrich, and even told Aldrich his true identity, but it turned out to be the emperor's person....

.... Damn it!

Aldrich quickly thought in his heart, the iron man's resume is innocent, as a retired soldier, he should not be the emperor's person in theory, right? Kingfisher's words, originally a female coach in a gym, has gained the ability to freely transform into various beasts after mutation, which is suspicious.

The heart makes .... To be honest, it is the most suspicious.

The reason is simple.

His abilities are too suitable for crime, memory exploration, life radar, these are only superficial abilities, this kind of power that involves mental operations, God knows if he will hide something, maybe he can not only explore memories, but even forge memories?

“.... The Ten Commandments are still exploring below, and we can't stop there, so let's cross this drawbridge and go deeper. ”

"Second team, third team, you are in charge of the queen of the palace."

"One team, follow us."

After giving the order through the communication network, the kingfisher glanced at Aldrich with some curiosity: "Don't you need us to keep a person in charge of the palace?" I can help. ”

“.... No, the Ten Commandments are not there, our combat effectiveness in the front is insufficient, so it's better to let a few people be at the front, and hand them over to the armed police at the back of the palace. ”

If it had been before, Aldrich would of course have made a hero behind.

But now, if you do this again, you will undoubtedly treat the lives of a group of people as child's play, so naturally you can only be responsible for the armed police team.

The only people he can trust now are the armed police he has cultivated.

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Across the drawbridge, Aldrich's team gradually walked into the darkness, and although the messenger kept indicating that no one was approaching, Aldrich had the lighting device installed, and soon, the light illuminated the surrounding space, reflecting a rather wide corridor

Exploring the corridors, soon the crowd came to an end.

It's another door.

"Shall I?"

“.... No. Aldrich glanced at the self-volunteering Iron Man, hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Iron Man, your power cannot be wasted here. ”

"Let my people get on."

"Detect first to make sure there are no traps here, no traps behind you, and then carry out targeted blasting, which is time-consuming, but more secure."

"Isn't this intentional, his life radar is not responding, right?"

"Just in case, the power of the mind's angel is not omnipotent."

"Uh, okay then."

Aldrich was right, so Iron Man nodded and accepted the proposal, although he felt a little twisted.

A moment later.

After confirming the safety, the armed police used directional blasting to blow open the iron door, and then several armed police officers broke into it first, and after confirming the safety, Aldrich and the three superheroes walked in together, and unlike the dark corridor, the space behind the iron door was quite bright and there was no haze.

"That's a lot of bottles and cans."

"It's the same as those nutrition pod ceremonial tables under the drawbridge, is it the emperor's biochemical laboratory?"

"Hell, what's that?"

In the bright space, there are dozens of long square tables with various test tubes on them, and a large number of traces of blood remaining, as if something has been dissolved on the table, and in the center of the space is a mysterious style ritual table.

And what the kingfisher pointed out just now is what is on the ceremonial table.

Is that.... A mass of flesh and blood.

Irregular, no flesh and blood of the prototype can be seen, not even any organs.

"All on alert!"

Click.... The sound of gunfire was endless, and for a while, all the armed policemen raised their guns in their hands and aimed them at the flesh and blood on the ceremonial platform.

But at this moment.

"Can you not be so rude, when the prisoner has not made a clear act of resistance, the police in Hiro City should not have the privilege of shooting the prisoner on the spot, right?"

Syllable!

The sudden sound echoed throughout the room, and then, in front of everyone, on the wall behind the ceremony stage, a curtain of light unfolded into the air.

Then a figure appeared in the light curtain.

"Yo."

The other party waved his hand very familiarly, with a kind smile on his face that everyone was very familiar with: "Good afternoon, colleagues, have you eaten?" ”

"Oh my God...."

“... There is such a thing. ”

"How is that possible?"

The figure in the light curtain is Brad, the current mayor of Hiro City!

The fact that it was too shocking made everyone fall into shock, but Aldrich, who was the first to react, suddenly drew a gun and aimed it at the heart next to him.

Brad's review was carried out by heart, and the feedback he got was no problem, but now Brad is behind everything?

In that case, there is only one possibility.

"Is that you?"

"An inner ghost other than Aquaman!"

"Aldrich!?"

"Stop!"

Aldrich's sudden move not only frightened the heart messenger who was pointed at the gun, but even the iron man and the kingfisher were terrified.

"Wait, the inner ghost outside of Aquaman...."

“.... Aquaman betrayed?! ”

"Impossible! How could Aquaman betray..."

"Not betrayal."

Aldrich's expression was grim: "Aquaman has been the emperor's man from the very beginning!" In this way, it seems that there is probably more than one veteran hero, although the emperor has only appeared in the past ten years, but his power seems to have been entrenched as early as twenty or thirty years ago. ”

"Is that so, Mr. Mayor?"

"Or... Emperor? ”

Aldrich said in a cold voice, looking at Brad's expression was full of hatred, he never thought that he had been working with the biggest darkness in Hiro City, and even had to grovel to him in order to work, low his eyebrows and ears, it was a shame!

However.....

"Emperor? No, no, no, you're mistaken. ”

"I'm not an emperor."

..... Brad on the screen waved his hand in a panic after listening to Aldrich's words.

"So far, do you still dare to do it?"

"How so."

Brad smiled, then stretched out his finger and pointed directly ahead, the mass of flesh on the ritual table, "That's what you're looking for this time." ”

“.....？？？”

"If you don't understand, then I'll be more direct." Brad grinned: "This piece of flesh and blood is the emperor you have always thought about." ”

"As for me.... As we all know, I am the agent of [the Emperor]. ”

Click! The muzzle of the gun was reversed, and at this moment, the armed policemen who had originally aimed their mouths at the ceremonial platform and the light curtain suddenly turned around at the same time, turning all kinds of guns in their hands to Aldrich and the three heroes, and they who were surrounded by the crowd instantly became the prey of falling into the trap.

Brad tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: ".... I'm a man of a thousand faces. ”

Immediately afterwards, the armed policemen pulled the corners of their mouths and smiled slightly: "We are all people with a thousand faces." ”

It's not someone with a thousand faces.

It's an infinite number of people who share the same identity.

Here's what it is:

【Man with a Thousand Faces】
