Chapter 14: Meeting with Butcher

The Tower of Seven has 88 floors.

In the office of the president of Walter.

Wearing reading glasses, Edgar looked at the computer screen at the email sent to him by the organizers.

In the email, the organizers pointed out that the motherland had picked two superhumans, and they were new members of the Super Seven.

Meanwhile.

The motherland personally eliminated a girl who was not known.

"Annie..."

"Nicknamed 'Starlight', from the central region."

Edgar turned the pen: "Why did he eliminate this little girl who was not in the world, this girl, a threat to him?" ”

"Or is this girl what tricks he has?"

Edgar picked up the microphone and called his secretary: "Let them bring Miss Anne 'Starlight' to me in the name of special moves, and the meeting time is ....."

After giving the order, Edgar put down the microphone when there was a video communication request on the computer.

The next moment, a window appears on the computer screen, inside which is a scene from a laboratory, and a man in a white lab coat, glasses, brown beard, and fat cheeks appears in the middle of the shot.

"Good evening, Mr. Edgar."

Edgar nodded slightly, "Good evening, Mr. David." ”

"What's new in our 'Saints Project'?"

David coughed dryly in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, sir. ”

"It's still the same."

"Although we have cloned the cells of the motherland, the 'saints' we have cultivated, like other superhumans, only have a single or at most two innate abilities."

"And you can't have as many different talents as the people of your homeland."

"I think it's hard to replicate a superhuman with compound talent."

"The motherland should be an accident, even if we use the same formula......"

Speaking of this, David shook his head, which shook the fat on his face like a rattle.

Edgar sighed: "The Motherland has begun to lose control. ”

"He killed Madeleine, and I could be next."

"The reason why he didn't do it now is because he felt the time was ripe."

"He is in the process of selecting new members of the seven, and it is possible that the original team members will be replaced by him one by one."

"Any idea what that means?"

"The Motherland wants to cultivate a superhuman army that obeys his orders!"

"Once this force is formed, there is nothing left to stop him."

"So until then, I need a trump card."

"A trump card that can be used to control the motherland and put shackles on this beast, understand?"

David bit his fat lip, and then said, "Actually, I have an idea for the past two days. ”

"Instead of creating a superhuman similar to the motherland, it is better to think differently."

"After all, even if we can cultivate another motherlander, at most we will have a tie with him."

"But if we think differently, for example, deprive the people of the motherland of their natural abilities. In that way, if he becomes an ordinary person, even the deep sea can defeat him. ”

Edgar raised his eyebrows: "Is this possible?" ”

"Yes."

"As long as you can suppress the superpower factors of the motherland, or reduce their activity level, you can turn the motherland into an ordinary person, or a slightly more special superhuman like the deep sea."

Edgar nodded: "That's a good idea, research it right away, and I'll use other channels to give you a research grant." ”

I didn't go through the internal channels of the Walter company because I was worried about being discovered by the motherland.

David nodded: "Then I'll go to work now." ”

"Go ahead."

in a video store.

Huey was sorting through his merchandise when he heard the rattle at the door, turned around, and saw a bearded man walking in.

"Do you want a babysitter security camera?"

"We're doing promotions."

He saw the bearded man pick up a teddy bear, so he said so.

The bearded man shook the teddy bear: "How many babysitters do you think will shake the baby vigorously?" ”

Huey was puzzled: "Excuse me, what did you say?" ”

The bearded man shook the teddy bear vigorously: "You know, shake it like you're squeezing ketchup out of a bottle." ”

"One hundredth, or less?"

Huey frowned, "I don't know. ”

The bearded man continued: "It's funny that they dumped this garbage around the world, selling it for a billion yuan. ”

Huey shook his head, "Sorry, I don't understand. ”

"Huey." The corners of the bearded mouth raised, "Lobin's matter is really regrettable." ”

"Who are you?" Huey said alarmedly.

The bearded man took out a copy of his ID: "FBI agent, Billy. Butcher. ”

"I'd like to talk to you about Lobin."

"Don't you want to do something for your girlfriend?"

Huey took two steps back: "Listen, detective, this is over. ”

"The locomotive has already received his due punishment, is it over?"

"Is it really over?"

The bearded Butcher shook his head and turned a finger in a circle above his head: "Do you really think that guy flying around in the sky will protect us?" ”

"It was just a show, a show, dear Huey."

"Do you know how many people die each year because of superhumans?"

"Lobin, definitely not the first, not the last."

"Would you like to see more Lobin die?"

Huey shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know these things, agent." ”

"But I know that it was the motherland who administered justice that day, and it was he who sanctioned the locomotive."

"I saw the ones he did, and I saw them."

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear that."

"If you don't want to buy something, can I ask you to leave?"

"Please don't disturb my life."

Butcher was about to say something, but the rattle bell at the door rang again, and someone laughed and said, "I think he's right, agent." ”

"If you don't want to buy something, you should leave."

Huey's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

The bearded man looked shocked, then fierce, and then twisted his waist and turned around with a ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the blonde man standing in front of a shelf, wearing an azure suit and a star-striped banner, and was picking out merchandise.

"What about you, are you here to buy something? Mr? Butcher said with a smile.

"Of course."

Picking up a teddy bear, Azu shook it: "I think it's pretty good." ”

Then put it on the counter: "Please wrap it up for me and give it away." ”

Huey nodded repeatedly: "Okay, please wait a moment, motherland." ”

Azu smiled, turned around, and looked at Butcher: "Let's talk?" Agent? ”

"I'd love to, but no, at least not right now."

Butcher shook off his clothes and walked to the door: "Next time, Mr. Motherland." ”

Azu said disapprehantly, "Yes, I originally thought that you would be interested in 'Becca'. ”

Butcher stopped at the door.
