Sanity returned to his head, and the lamplighter opened his eyes in a daze.

A sharp pain came from his forehead, and the lamplighter only felt that his brain was a little cloudy, and he did not recover for a moment, and he could not tell where he was now.

The pain made the lamplighter frown slightly, he knew that his head must be swollen, or a big bag, plus some concussions, and he felt the pain and dizziness of his heart as soon as he shook his head.

Recalling the previous situation, his last memory was facing a guy who looked like himself, that person seemed to have the ability to transform into other people's appearances, and not only that, the other party could also turn his body into ice to defend against his own flames.

It stands to reason that the superpowers of each superpower person are individual, and it is rare for people to have multiple superpowers at the same time, and he is the only one in the world who has the all-round existence of the motherland.

And now that I have met such a strange guy here, it is certainly impossible for the lamplighter to say that it is not strange.

He slowly raised his hands and tried to get up, but the weight on his wrists quickly brought him back to his senses, and when he looked silently, the lamplighter suddenly found that his hands were cuffed to a railing, and his legs were also cuffed.

Stunned for a moment, the lamplighter immediately struggled, he broke free of the handcuffs with all his might, and the metal collided with a screeching sound, which was very obvious in this quiet room.

"If I were you, I would be a little more honest."

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

When the lamplighter heard the sound, the movements of his hands suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked uncertainly at the dark corners of the room, and the expression on his face was very solemn.

"Who the hell are you?"

"As a prisoner, you don't seem to have a clear understanding of your current situation, I advise you to take a look at what you are and then think about what tone to use to talk to me." Zhang Yu sat on a chair and stared at the lamplighter.

"Hmph, I'll admit that your abilities are kind of interesting, but if you think I'm going to surrender to you because of this, then you're very wrong, I'm the lamplighter, superhero."

The lamplighter snorted coldly.

"If you have any means, go ahead! I won't tell you a word. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but glance at this guy.

I have to say that although the lamplighter is not a good thing in this world, in a sense, he is really a hero who is not a hero.

"Superheroes, huh?"

After a pause, Zhang Yu stood up from the chair, slowly walked in front of the lamplighter, and spoke.

"I know who you are, Lamplighter, former member of the Super Seven, but what you probably don't know is that you just moved out of the Walter Building on the front foot, and they took your statue down on the back foot, I don't know if you ever went out, but

If you go outside and take a look, you will find that you have been eliminated by Walter, your peripherals, your peripherals, and your endorsements, all the things related to you have been replaced by other people. ”

Squatting down, Zhang Yu stretched out his index finger and poked the lamplighter in the shoulder.

"If the superhero in your mouth is this kind of thing that the Walter Group can throw away at will like garbage, then you are really a great 'superhero'."

Hearing what Zhang Yu said, the lamplighter couldn't help but clench his fists.

He stared at Zhang Yu, as if he couldn't believe the words in the other party's mouth, but soon, his expression returned to flatness and smiled mockingly.

"Verbal attack, isn't it a little too clumsy, you don't think that a few words can break through my psychological defense, although I don't know what kind of organization you made the experiment, but go back and tell the people behind you, they don't want to get anything."

"You may be mistaken, I'm not an organization, besides, I want to know that what you have in your head is not a difficult thing, I have a lot of means to dig out what is in your head."

Zhang Yu tilted his head and continued. "For example, the reason why you quit the Super Seven is because you killed two innocent children by mistake, who is it? Oh yes. Colonel Mallory's grandson, right? ”

The lamplighter's pupils shrank, as if he didn't understand how the other party knew about it.

It stands to reason that not many people knew about it, and that team, including Colonel Mallory, had now been disbanded.

Neither the members of the team nor Colonel Mallory could have said anything about it, and as a result, the lighter would have been even more alarmed about how the other party had found out about it.

"You actually guess I'm Colonel Mallorin's man? Don't mess with me, brother, that lady has been in retirement since she lost her grandchild, and he can't afford to hire me. ”

Zhang Yu smiled. "I'm surprised, I don't understand why I know what you're thinking now, it's not hard to guess, right, you've come to a conclusion, it's just that you don't want to admit it."

"You"

The lamplighter looked at Zhang Yu in front of him in horror and muttered.

"You can still read minds!?"

"More than that."

Zhang Yu explained softly. "You already know that I can be like someone else, so you can understand that when I become someone else, I can also use the other person's superpowers, can you understand this explanation?"

And after hearing this explanation, the lamplighter was completely speechless, and he looked at Zhang Yu at the moment as if he was looking at a terrifying monster.

Now he was a little convinced that the other party was not an experimental object cultivated by some evil force, because it was difficult for him to imagine what kind of force could cultivate such a terrifying demon.

Ever since he retired from the Super Seven and retired here, the Lamplighter has been responsible for the guardians of the Institute.

During this time, he has witnessed countless top scholars and professors studying superpowers, and he has also learned how dangerous Compound Five can be for human modifications.

It is almost difficult for ordinary people to withstand the effects of multiple superpowers, and the remodeling of genes by one superpower is already very huge, and two or even more than three superpowers exist in the same body at the same time, which is enough to cause devastating effects.

Therefore, in this case, Zhang Yu's existence cannot be said to be a miracle, it should be called a 'miracle'.

"What exactly is your purpose?" The lamplighter looked at Zhang Yu solemnly and asked.

"Don't you think that the development of this world is a little too deformed, if you know about Compound Five, then you should also understand that your superpowers are not a godsend, but were created by Walter's human experiments."

Without answering the question of the lamplighter, Zhang Yu said to himself.

"You have great power, why don't you want to do some good deeds, no one knows the evil of the Walter Group better than you, although you keep saying that you are a superhero, but you know in your heart that you are just a wicked person who aids and abets abuse."

The lamplighter lowered his head.

"It's just a job."

"What kind of work? Deceive the masses, kill all those who are not good for the Vought group, and start the war again, so that the whole world will be shrouded in death and suffering."

Without waiting for Zhang Yu to finish speaking, the lamplighter raised his head suspiciously.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't tell me you don't know, this place under your feet, this madhouse called the Sage Grove, don't you know how many people have died in it, why don't you guess why the Walter Group cultivates these out-of-control superpowers."

"Them." The lamplighter opened his mouth, but he quickly shook his head. "I see, that's what you're for, right, you want to deal with Vought."

"yes." Zhang Yu paused. "For justice."

"Justice."

The lamplighter couldn't help but laugh, thinking back to his experience in the Walter Group, his smile became more and more bitter. "There is no justice in this world, only capital is the most important, without money, you are nothing."

"If you're really in it for money, then why did you quit the Super Seven, after all, from the perspective of ability and popularity, the first one to quit should be that fish man."

Zhang Yu said casually, and then he said with a straight face. "You're guilty of killing your child, right, and the guilt of killing your child makes you feel like you're not worthy of the title of 'hero'"

"Shut up." The lamplighter glared at Zhang Yu fiercely, as if he was angry that the other party had uncovered the deep scars in his heart.

"You are different from them, although you have done a lot of outrageous things, but your nature is not bad, at least you still have the most basic sense of shame as a person."

As he spoke, Zhang Yu slowly stretched out his palm and put it on the head of the lamplighter.

"What are you going to do!?"

Sensing Zhang Yu's movements, the lamplighter immediately struggled, although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but the unknown always brought people an inexplicable sense of crisis.

didn't care about the other party's resistance, Zhang Yu grabbed the head of the lamplighter, and said to himself.

"When I was exposed to pollution, I found a very interesting thing, if I can pollute the other person before the pollution breaks out, then it will make that person break free from the original shackles and become a new existence - the existence polluted by me.

But the world was born out of pollution, and I don't know if this method will still work, I originally wanted to try it from Starlight, but the girl is now busy dealing with this kind of announcement, so I have to choose this as a last resort.

Sage Grove. Vought's place for superpowers is the only place I've been able to find where so many superpowers are gathered without being disturbed by outsiders.

But sadly, 'thanks to' the Vought Group, the guys in the cell have serious self-destructive tendencies, and apparently none of them are good options. ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Yu once again set his eyes on the lamplighter.

"But you're different, you still have the possibility of being saved."

"You, what the hell are you going to do?!"

The lamplighter gritted his teeth, and he only felt that his head was stuffed with a lot of incomparably large amounts of information.

"I'm going to show you the world beyond the bottom of the well"
