Chapter 7: The Lightning Kid
After listening to the blacksmith's mission, Axel smiled.
"I guessed you'd let me do this, so I prepared a little bit ahead of time."
Axel said confidently.
"Really?"
The blacksmith raised his eyebrows, revealing a bit of anticipation at the right time, "Then I'll wait and see." ”
On the other side, the Wedge Rock Police Station, half an hour after the second-generation magician left.
"Officer Chayer, you're saying that someone stole the uniforms and equipment of the first magician and pretended to be the second-generation magician?"
A hero in a young uniform wearing a straitjacket with a yellow upper body and a red lower body with red lightning embroidered on his chest is asking someone from the police station about the situation.
He was spoken to by a veteran patrol officer in his fifties, Fred Chayer, the oldest active patrol officer.
"Yes, you heard it right, Lightning Kid."
"I don't know what that thief is trying to do, whether it's a crime or something else, but he has all the equipment used by a supercriminal, and this person is dangerous now!" ”
"We'll find out what this second-generation magician is planning, but first we have to figure out who he is, did he leave surveillance footage or something? And also...... I'd rather hear you call me The Flash. ”
The lightning boy touched his chin and said, then the conversation changed.
"I'll admit you're great, and you've been working hard, and we've all been in sight, but — your mentor, the Flash, his light is too dazzling."
At this moment, another policeman came over, wearing a blue blazer, in his thirties, brown skin, and a scar on the right side of his chin.
His name is Gerard Morillo, rank detective, and he is Zayer's partner, and the two are members of the Wedge Rock Police Department's transhuman response team, and they are all of them.
"Well, I'm not saying I'm good enough to compare to The Flash, I know I'm still lacking, I'm just ...... I'm an adult, you have to know that the 'Kid Kid' is more of a teenager. ”
The Lightning Kid waved his hand again and again, indicating that he had no idea of "usurping the throne".
"Then again, why didn't the Flash come, and the Justice League is doing it again?"
Morillo walked over and asked curiously.
"I wish I knew, but I haven't seen him since he fought the Weather Wizard yesterday morning, and the Flash never let me bother with Justice League affairs - he doesn't think I'm enough, so I know as much about this as you do, Detective Morillo."
"yes, I hope he's not in trouble."
Morillo nodded in understanding, then handed the Lightning Boy a USB stick.
"Here you go."
"What is this?" The Lightning Kid looked at him suspiciously.
"Don't you want the surveillance video of the second-generation magician, that's what Morillo gave you."
Chayer explained.
"Let me guess, you want me to send it to Hunter."
The Lightning Kid knew very well that judging from the fact that Morillo backed up the footage so quickly, it was obviously not specially prepared for him, after all, he was the Wonder Kid and not the Wonder Boy.
"Hunter Zolemont is the best crime profiler in the Twin Cities, and with his help we can catch that thief faster."
Morillo affirmed Kid Flash's thoughts, "Originally, we were going to find him ourselves, but now that you're here, there's no better candidate than you, after all, you're friends." ”
"No problem, I'll send this to Hunter."
The lightning boy put away the USB flash drive, and as soon as the words fell, his figure disappeared......
The next day, Yuri slept until noon and didn't get out of bed.
It not only eliminates the fatigue of repeatedly becoming a little strange soldier to modify the old broken car last night, but also saves the breakfast money, killing two birds with one stone.
Yuri sat up from his bed and fell into deep thought.
He had to make some plans for his future.
Obtaining the Little Broken Watch means that Yuri has extraordinary powers, there is no doubt about it.
Yuri's future life is destined to be ordinary, and he will not be resigned to ordinary.
"Jem invited me to join his 'gangsters' to carry out his million-dollar plan, and asked me to go to him at eight o'clock tonight......"
Should I go myself?
Yuri didn't know very well, he didn't know why Jem knew everything about the movements of all the superheroes in the Twin Cities, and it couldn't be that Jem and Tang Rui had investigated it themselves.
Maybe there's a huge crime syndicate behind them, maybe it's planning to destroy the Twin Cities, and Jem and Tomey are just little minions to be used.
It's possible, and it's probably not unlikely.
As for calling 911 to report the other party? Don't be stupid, do you have evidence to accuse others? Do you know what the plan is? You don't even know what to report on what charges!
That's why Jem told Yuri directly about the time, not at all afraid that he would snitch.
"If only I had read DC Comics, I only needed to know what villain organization was hiding in Midtown, and it would be much easier to deduce the person or force who released the news to Tom Rui Jim."
However, the truth is that Yuri doesn't know the plot of DC, so there is no way to do it.
"Or just forget about it and act as if nothing happened?"
As soon as this thought flashed, Yuri strangled him to death in the bud.
Just kidding, although Yuri hasn't watched DC, in this kind of American comic world, the plot development is basically not too difficult to guess.
If Yuri didn't go to the appointment, I am afraid that he would become a thorn in the side of Jem and Tang Rui, and it is even possible that the forces behind them will also target Yuri.
Even! The villain's plan to destroy the Twin Cities succeeds, and Yuri is buried with the entire Wedge Rock City, and he doesn't know what happened until the last second before he dies......
Of course, it could also be that he was killed in a delusion, after all, just after getting the golden finger, Yuri will feel more or less special.
Regardless, Yuri eventually decided to go over and find out, at least to find out where Jem's news came from.
Get the information first, and then then say, whether it is to make a sum of money or withdraw in time, the initiative is in Yuri's hands.
Having made up his mind, Yuri prepares to eat, and although skipping breakfast will save a little money, he will also get hungry faster.
He opened the locker, which contained three large packets of cereal and a bag of dry, hard expired bread.
After making sure that there was no other grain to store besides these, Yuri silently closed the cabinet and drove away from the tin house.
As a result of last night's windfall, ah no, last night's compensation, Yuri now has two thousand dollars at his disposal.
So he decided to go out for a full meal after a long absence.
Burger joint.
"Two beef burgers, one strawberry sundae, one cup of cocoa, two chicken nuggets...... Grab another hot sauce fries and take them away. ”
"That's a total of $8.55."
Without blinking an eye, Yuri pulled out eight one-dollar coins, two twenty-five cents, and five one-cent coins.
"A1552, dinner later."
The cashier accepts the coin and hands the receipt to Yuri.
Yuri was about to find a place to sit for a while, but as soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into someone.
Before he could see what the person in front of him looked like, a woman's voice came.
"Oh my God! Wally, I told you not to turn back while walking, you almost bumped into someone just now! ”
