Chapter 6: Trouble Comes (Second Watch)
In the end, Delos still planned to go over and return the car to the other party in person. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is just ......
Looking at the Luther Mansion in front of him, the retro castle-like buildings, the garden-style oversized courtyard and parking garage, and the superalloy gate at the entrance, Delos had to sigh that it was good to be rich.
"But why did no one pay attention to me when I rang the doorbell here for half an hour?" Delos was a little depressed, what is this, is he not at home, or is it a joke of the rich?
After waiting for a while, Delos had no choice but to give up first, drive home in the extremely swaggering Lamborghini Gold Edition, and wait for the opportunity to return the car to the other party one day.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After returning home, Delos, who was just about to go to the town to buy some food, saw a group of people standing around an ambulance in front of him, and a man in an unconscious was pushed into the ambulance by several ambulance personnel and left.
Everyone is curious, and Delos is not surprised, just when he finds his cousin Chloe and her friend Pete Ross discussing something in the crowd, he leans in and asks
"Chloe, what's going on here?"
"I don't know, I just know that the person was coronaized." Chloe replied while holding up a camera to take a picture, while Pete Ross on the side hurriedly said
"There must be some connection between three people being stunned for three days in a row, and the fact that these three were football players when they were at Smallville High School before."
Hearing this, Delos also felt that something was wrong, but he knew how chaotic the world was, especially superheroes like Superman, basically only a little strange thing came out near his home, so basically people with superpowers were committing crimes.
"Do you have any ideas?" Delos subconsciously asked, when you encounter this kind of person, just let Clark, the superman, deal with it, and others are just asking for trouble. It's better to know some clues about the other party, and then how far to hide.
"Wait, go back to the school's torch studio first." Chloe and Peter looked at each other, then dragged Delos back to school, and ......
"Chloe, you're sick, you need to be cured." The corners of Delos's mouth twitched as he looked at the pile of materials that Chloe had placed in a small room in the studio. It says that the foam wall is also nailed with newspaper clippings about all the strange events of the past twelve years in the town of Smallville. Among them, the meteorite incident is the most, and this number is simply too large to be avoided.
"I call it the Weird Wall~" Chloe introduced to Delos with a smug face while searching for information on the Internet, "Since the meteorite landed on this town, everything has changed, and so many strange events have come out one after another. It all started here, but the investigators couldn't find out. ”
Hearing this, Delos subconsciously frowned, his heart doubting that the investigators could not find anything.
If he guessed correctly, in this world where superheroes from both the DC and Marvel worlds exist, there should be organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.
After all, Captain America has it, and there is no reason why this S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra should not appear. Moreover, as far as he knows, since the emergence of mutants, S.H.I.E.L.D. should be secretly and frantically searching for those capable people with superpowers, whether it is for co-optation or as experimental material......
Even if you can't find it, you shouldn't find out nothing.
"Chloe, Delos, I've found that man's information!" Pete, who was looking through the paper, shouted excitedly, holding a twelve-year-old student photo album in front of the two of them, pointing to the photo of one of the young people
"You see, this is the guy who was standing next to the ambulance at the time. His name is Jeromy Quake. I've always been weird, I know most of the people in this town, but this person is so strange. ”
Looking at the man in the photograph and the photograph taken by Chloe as she watched, Delos asked the question on his mind
"Could it be twins or immediate family or something?"
Hearing this, Pete shrugged his shoulders, and he pointed to Chloe, who was quickly typing on the keyboard on the computer, and said, "I think the same way, but it's up to Chloe to verify this." ”
Two hours later, Chloe printed two pieces of paper from the printer and handed them to the two of them, with Jeromy's information printed on them.
"This was something that my friend at the hospital helped me get. That man is indeed Jeromy Quake, who is an only child. Chloe's face was full of excitement: "During that meteor shower twelve years ago, he passed out 20 yards away from the meteorite area. And because of the electrolyte imbalance in the body, he has been in a coma in the hospital for the past 12 years. ”
"How did he end up there? And not dressed yet. Delos wondered if this Geromy had some unusual fetishes.
Pete said, "Because he's tied up there as a scarecrow." This is a tradition at Smallville High School, where the Smallville team members would pick a freshman to play a prank by stripping off the other's clothes and tying them to a cornfield as a scarecrow, and spray-painting an 'S' logo on their chests.
"Only the teachers and the people on the Smallville team won't be mischievoked, even if it's just reserves, they won't do it to their own people. It was because I was afraid of being tricked like this that I became a reserve member of the team. ”
"What a hapless boy." Delos pursed his lips, he had already sorted out the cause and effect: "Twelve years in the hospital bed, he was not crazy enough to kill people, this kid's temper is really good." ”
"I think it's scary." Listening to Delos's words, Pete on the side looked at Jeromy in the photo with some fear: "I haven't grown old for twelve years, and three people have been stunned, and no trace has been found at the scene." There's a good chance he's a mutant and will use the ability of electricity. ”
The Mutant Brotherhood, led by Magneto, has produced too many cases in the United States, coupled with the deliberate propaganda in national public opinion, most of them have a strong fear of mutants.
"Or the ability to be empowered by meteorite radiation." Chloe didn't really feel much about it, she was more concerned about the fact that the meteorite disaster might give people superpowers.
"Does the Smallville team still have that tradition?" Delos asked Pete suddenly
Pete nodded, "Yes." ”
Delos then asked, "So do you know who the team is going to trick this time?" ”
"I don't know." Pete shook his head, "But I know they're going to find a new 'scarecrow' today." ”
"You don't want to look into this." Delos put down the information and looked at the two with a serious face: "You go to the police now, don't mention Geromy's attack." But you have to tell the police about Jeromy's disappearance and reappearance, and Jeromy's parents by the way. ”
"Finally......" Delos looked at the two of them, "Don't attend the homecoming dance in the evening, stay at home." If this is true, then this unlucky guy who was bullied in his school days must now be angry waiting to be released. And this gang is still continuing the 'scarecrow' tradition of the two. The forcing player will be used as a punching bag by this humanoid discharger! ”
Looking at the two of them with shocked faces, Delos couldn't help but sneer:
"Have you forgotten? All of these players will be there for tonight's back-to-school dance! In order not to be injured by mistake, you two still don't go. ”
