In the early morning of the next day, in the president's office on the 99th floor of the Walter Building, located in the center of Manhattan's bustling business district, Edgar indifferently took off the gold-wire glasses hanging on the left pocket of his suit.

"Late last night, an extremely strange fire, the 'superhuman' nightclub burned to ashes, and when the police and firefighters arrived, the raging flames had completely enveloped the nightclub, but soon, with the efforts of the firefighters, the rapid fire was contained, but it is regrettable.

No survivors have been found in the fire, according to the number of bones found by the police at the scene, the total number of deaths in the accident can be inferred, the current official statistics are, 126 people, behind this cold number is a piece of fresh life, please let us mourn for the deceased.

In addition, the police found in the follow-up investigation that most of the dead were superhuman, and it stands to reason that they all had superpowers, and it was impossible for them all to be buried in the fire.

So we have reason to suspect that it was also a transhuman who killed them, and a powerful transhuman terrorist.

This makes us worry about whether terrorist attacks like this will happen more frequently, and who will protect our lives? ”

Next, please give the camera to Congressman Newman and let her clear up the confusion for us. ”

An oversized LCD screen hanging on the wall is playing the morning news from New York.

"What's the matter with your eyes?" Edgar glanced at the Motherland man on the couch.

At this time, in addition to Edgar and the Motherland, there are Jervis and Storm Girl in the office.

"You don't know?" The Motherland reached out and touched the scar at the corner of his eye, and after he unleashed the overloaded laser last night, he went blind in both eyes, and left a scar that would not heal, at first the scar was far more hideous than it was now, and the scarlet cracks were like spider webs all over his eyes.

Fortunately, the blindness lasted less than a minute, and the wounds around his eyes gradually healed with his self-healing ability.

Edgar frowned, "How would I know?" I didn't have a camera on you, but I guess it's a mystery guy, and I don't think there's a second person other than him who can hurt you. ”

Seeing that the motherland had a calm face, they were silent.

He had no choice but to look at the Storm Girl: "You brought them here, tell me about the specific situation." ”

While observing the two of them, the Storm Girl recounted what happened last night, but unfortunately, the reactions of both of them were very natural, at least she couldn't see a clue, not to mention that it was pointless to hide these things from Edgar, assuming that the mysterious person was really Edgar or Jervis.

She and the motherland couldn't do anything about each other for a while.

After listening to Storm Girl's retelling, Edgar's face was full of solemnity, "No wonder you doubt me, that guy has a special ability, he can imitate others like a double, he may be the double who lurked around Madeleine before." ”

Edgar picked up her phone and dialed Ashley's number.

"Help me contact the double, and if he's still in the U.S., let him get to Vought as soon as possible."

During the waiting period.

Congressman Newman on the screen said with a solemn expression: "Our superhuman office will do our best to investigate the truth behind the fire, if it is really superhuman, I promise the people of the United States that even if it costs a lot, I will bring him to justice and let him be judged by the law!" ”

At this time, Huey, who was standing behind her, had a slightly complicated expression, and the balance in his heart was constantly swaying between friendship and justice.

Told him everything about Billy last night, and Huey was stunned for half a minute after learning of Billy's madness, and then he drove to Billy and yelled at him, and the two broke up and chose to part ways.

Billy quits the pickets on his own, choosing to continue slaughtering superhumans.

He and Huey are like the opposite of the same coin, he advocates killing all the transhumans, so that the world can be cleansed, in fact, his idea has never changed, but he has been curbing it before, but now that Béjart is dead, Billy has no worries, and can devote himself to hunting superhumans.

Huey, on the other hand, advocated the use of transhuman firms to manage and confine transhumans, believing that they could be managed in a more peaceful way.

"Fack! , did that superhuman chick make you feel good? Don't forget, your poor ex-girlfriend was killed by someone. "These are Billy's cruel words before leaving!

Drip, drip!!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Edgar, I can't reach the Double, and he doesn't have any relatives or friends, so I can't find him." Ashley on the other end of the phone said nervously.

"yes, got it."

Edgar was not surprised by this result, he looked at Jervais and said, "The mystery man is a real danger to us Walter, he has not only broken our trust in each other, but also wounded the people of the motherland, so we must find him in the shortest possible time and confirm his true identity." ”

"Are you sure?"

The silent motherland suddenly spoke: "I'm afraid you don't think like this in your heart." ”

That's right, the above are all Edgar's perfunctory words, since he can't deal with the mysterious man, there is no need to continue to investigate, he even suspects that the mysterious man may have something to do with the U.S. government, you know, their methods are not much cleaner than their own, even if they kill Edgar, they don't believe it, they won't study compound five behind their backs.

It's as ridiculous as cats don't steal.

Besides, it may not be a good thing to frustrate the motherland, at least it will help him better manage the Walter Company.

"I have something to do, so I'll go first." The motherland got up and left the office, he can now finally understand the mood of the locomotive, the motherland will never allow anyone to be stronger than himself, he is the strongest superhuman!

"Does he want to inject Compound Five?" It is said that Edgar, who knows his son Mo Ruo's father, as an Edgar who grew up watching the motherland, naturally understands the temper of the motherland very well, "His superpower has long been stabilized, and if he is injected again, it will only harden his blood vessels, compared to the insignificant improvement, it can be said that the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Storm Girl shook her head and said, "The mysterious man has dealt him a big blow, and it is normal for him to have this thought, but he also knows the consequences of doing so, and he should not inject Compound No. 5 unless he has to." ”
