After five minutes of silence, Franci told what had happened.

It turned out that eight years ago, he and his two best friends, Shirley and Jay, were still thugs who roamed the streets all day long, and did some unethical things of robbery and theft, but they were never caught, but in a robbery five years ago, the three were unfortunately arrested, and just when they were about to be sent to prison, Mallory found him.

"She said that my brain is very flexible, and if I continue to mix like this, it is just a waste of youth, she values me very much, wants me to join the secret team against superhumans, and promises me that as long as I agree, she will release my dead friends, and will write off my past criminal records, and finally... I agreed. ”

Frankie closed his eyes in pain.

"Later, I received instructions to follow you, and just when I thought everything was going well, I got a call from Shirley, in which she told me that Jay was dying due to an overdose of DU and needed urgent treatment." Frankie clutched his head, "On the one hand, my death party is dying, and on the other hand, the important task that Mallory has given me. ”

"I thought that after you entered the nightclub, you would not be able to get out for a while, so I returned to the residence and tried my best to rescue Jay, who was already in shock, but when I successfully rescued you, I returned to the nightclub, and in just half an hour, I lost you, and I searched the world and couldn't find you......"

After saying all this, Frankie seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

"What about Jay? Why didn't I hear you mention him since? Billy asked.

"Dead." Frankie smiled self-deprecatingly, "A few months later, he was unable to be rescued because he overdosed on DU again, and he still died." ”

"Why didn't you tell us about this sooner?"

Breast milk is a little puzzling.

"It's already happened, and there's no point in me explaining it, and in the end it's because of my negligence that I killed those children."

Speaking of this, Frankie looked at the lamplighter angrily, "You beast, you can't bear to do it as a child, you should fall into hell, and be tormented by the devil every moment." ”

Who would have thought that as soon as his words fell, the lamplighter retorted excitedly: "You think I want to kill your boss." ”

In his mouth, Billy and they heard another story.

The combination of the two stories became the truth behind the scenes of Mallory's case.

It turns out that the Lamplighter, as a member of the Super Seven, has always been known for his mystery and power, but Mallory doesn't know how to get a video of him indulging in a nightclub, and once this video spreads, the image that Walter has worked so hard to manage will be ruined.

At that point, his popularity will definitely drop like crazy, and in a serious way, he will even be kicked out of the sevens and lose everything he has.

Mallory used the video to blackmail him into spying on the Walter Syndicate's intelligence about Compound 5 and the crime.

"But I didn't want to be controlled, so I sneaked into Mallory's house at night, and my original plan was to kill Mallory and get the video back, but ...... But I didn't expect ......"

"But you didn't expect that when you set fire to Mallory's bedroom, Mallory wasn't actually at home, and there were only a few kids in the bed waiting for Grandma to come back and tell the story, so you panicked when you heard their cries, and by the time the fire truck arrived, it was already burned to the ground." Billy grimaced and added some details to the lamplighter.

"For so many years, I have been very guilty, so I automatically proposed to leave the Super Hero Seven, choosing to fade out of the public eye, and then I was arranged by the Walter Company to be in the Sage Grove, specifically responsible for the management and destruction of some superhumans who did not obey the command, this matter is not told to the second person except you."

"What is the relationship between the Storm Maiden and the Sage Grove?" Billy asked.

"She's the steward of the Sage Grove, always has been, since before I came."

The lamplighter basically answers whatever he asks.

"Has she ever been to a neurological hospital recently?"

"No, I'm surprised by that, normally she comes every two days at most, but I haven't seen her for five days in a row."

Billy, thoughtful, glanced at the breast milk and nodded imperceptibly.

"What's going on with the Sage Grove? Where do the patients who are locked up in the wards come from? Is Walter experimenting with them? What was Walter's ultimate goal in developing an adult version of Compound Five? Billy then asked.

The lamplighter then answered Billy's questions one by one.

"The Sage Grove is actually the secret research institute of the Walter Group, and there should be only one place like this, because you need powerful managers to manage those guys.

As for their source, they were indeed sent from a psychiatric hospital, and Walter locked them in a ward on the grounds that it could help them cure their mental illness, but as far as I can see, some patients are not actually mentally ill, they have a clear will, and their daily actions and speech are no different from ordinary people. ”

"I later learned that some of them had been sent to the Sage Grove for treatment because of alcoholism, violence, or contraband."

"It's worthy of the Walter Group, if you don't do anything, I guess it's already messed up over there, and those guys who escaped will definitely take revenge on the Walter Group." Billy laughed gloatingly.

"By the way, there is a female bald woman with a strong head, and I think she can even threaten the motherland."

"You mean Cindy? Her superpowers are definitely very powerful, and she is also one of the most valued patients of the Storm Girl, she has a high IQ, it seems that she was captured by the police because she killed her entire family with her own hands, as well as six classmates, and she was on the run for a long time, but because she showed a certificate of neurology in court, she was sent to the Sage Grove. ”

Speaking of Cindy, a trace of fear flashed in the lamplighter's eyes, because he had seen it with his own eyes, she had pinched a person's head in the air, and her physical defense was also very strong, even if she was struck by the Storm Girl's lightning, at most she would only be paralyzed for a while, and she could not cause fatal damage at all.

"Actually, you guessed it right, those people are the test subjects, and Walter wants to develop a stable compound No. 5."

"You mean, the current Compound Five is unstable?"

Huey wondered.

"The current No. 5 compound is only extremely stable for infants, and as for injecting adults, there are only three outcomes, either becoming a superhero, or exploding like a watermelon, or turning into a freak, such as the elephant trunk man, whose thing is ten times larger than the average person."
