Chapter 455 Surprise
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
This isn't just for Starlight personally.
Every year, the number of casualties directly or indirectly caused by extraordinary beings skyrockets. These guys who have powerful power but cannot control it well will pose a great threat to ordinary people, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The world seems to have entered into a twisted and strange relationship.
Those superheroes created by the Vought Group were regarded as god-like existences and were praised and worshiped by countless people. Slowly, everyone's hearts underwent tremendous changes.
Mortals need heroes and these gods to save themselves and add some fun to their extremely bad lives. In other words, these superheroes are another kind of spiritual sustenance for mortals.
As heroes, they also need the 'faith' of mortals. Everyone understands that if they cannot be loved by people, if they do not have huge traffic, then they will be knocked down from the mortal world and lose everything.
Under the influence of this abnormal social relationship, Zhang Yi could not imagine how people here would face life.
Perhaps, this is why this world was born in pollution.
An unspeakable despair.
While walking on the street, Zhang Yi kept thinking about starlight.
It seems that the generation of pollution is easier than one imagines, but at the same time it is not difficult to eliminate it. The key lies in the way it is born, which is something difficult to define.
At the beginning, Zhang Yi's view of pollution was nothing more than the radiation dropped by the upper-level narrator, a ripple that transcended the horizontal fluctuations between the world and the reality barrier.
Later, when he actually came into contact with pollution, Zhang Yi changed his mind because he really felt the emotions filling his mind, the complex emotions that were like waves of thoughts, like waves washing over his spirit.
Now, Zhang Yi has a new guess - choice.
Yes, choice.
When Emma picked up the phone for the first time, although she didn't know what she was thinking, but with the appearance of pollution, Zhang Yi speculated that she must have thought about some bad things, so she generated that energy.
But later, she did not take any actual action. Instead, she called herself. She chose another method. This may be the main reason why the pollution suddenly disappeared.
The same goes for Starlight. When she squatted down in humiliation and chose to surrender at the foot of the deep sea, pollution was already born, and it continued to multiply and spread.
If he hadn't intervened himself and used false memories to change the reality that was about to happen, I'm afraid the contamination would have already taken shape. By then, Zhang Yi would not be able to control what kind of impact it would have.
"Then the question now is, how do I eliminate this so-called pollution."
Muttering in a low voice, Zhang Yi sighed quietly.
It would be great if Miss Time was here, or Pietro, Carla, or even the Sentinels. At least I wouldn't be so alone, with no one to talk to.
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
Taking out his cell phone and looking at the unfamiliar number on it, Zhang Yi frowned slightly.
Not many people know the original person's mobile phone number. Apart from Emma and the original person's relatives, there are only those classmates and friends whom they have little contact with.
The problem is that this phone is not the original one, but a non-smart phone purchased by Zhang Yi himself, and the phone card does not have any identity information, so there should be no unknown calls.
After silently answering the call, Zhang Yi did not speak immediately, but waited for the other party to speak first.
"oi, my dear old friend."
A hoarse voice came from the receiver.
"Still remember me?"
Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Yi immediately understood the identity of the other party after hearing the familiar sound. "Butcher, why did you remember to call me?"
"Remember when we exchanged contact information? I remember you said that your dream was to become a real superhero and do some good deeds to punish evil and promote good." Butcher said.
"From what you say, have you found a new target?" Zhang Yi responded.
Ever since they parted ways with Butcher that day, the two had not contacted each other again. Zhang Yi also secretly paid attention to Butcher's actions during the period and found that he had handled a lot of things on his own.
However, Butcher seemed to have been focusing on collecting evidence of superhuman crimes, so Zhang Yi did not pay too much attention to him, but continued to look for clues about pollution.
Unexpectedly, after such a long time, Butcher would suddenly call him.
Through contact, Zhang Yi had a relatively good understanding of Butcher's personality. This guy was a very paranoid evil creature. He had great hatred and malice towards all superhuman beings.
So even in himself, he didn't really have half trust in himself, in this case.
"It seems like it won't be a small matter for you to find me."
"You are my best brother, so I will naturally prepare the biggest surprise for you." Butcher smiled. "How about, do you want to come to my little party?"
"Okay, tell me your place. I'll see if I'm far away."
Zhang Yi said, turned around and found a dark alley and walked in.
the other side.
In Butcher's safe house, a shocked Huey collapsed on the ground, staring solemnly at the 'empty' cage in front of him.
Although on the surface, there seemed to be nothing in the cage made of steel bars, Huey knew that there was a 'bomb' inside that could destroy everyone.
"We can't stay here forever. You know, if Walter finds that the invisible man is missing, then they will definitely use all their resources to find him. There is no way to escape the eyes of the motherland here."
Opposite Butcher, stood two men, one large and one small. One of them was a black man named Breastmilk, or MM for short, and the other was a relatively thin man named French, nicknamed Frenchie.
They were all members of the team originally, but the team fell apart due to the betrayal of the lamplighter. MM and the French guy broke up on bad terms and started their own lives.
Now, because of the invisible man, Butcher had no choice but to summon them together again.
"Did you hear me talking to you! You can't keep the invisible man here for a lifetime. If we are targeted by the motherland, all of us will die, especially since you just killed Lar and Walter is now in a state of crisis. excited state.
By the way, who were you calling just now? "
"Of course I'm calling the man who killed Lal." Butcher said solemnly. "We're going to need some special help to get this right."
"Huh?" The Frenchman was stunned for a moment and pointed at Huey. "Why didn't I know when you had so many friends? Isn't it enough for you to involve an innocent little guy?"
"I don't need you to teach me a lesson, understand. Unless you can figure out a way to kill the invisible man, otherwise get out of here." Butcher's face looked ugly. Things shouldn't develop like this.
He originally just wanted to approach the Vought Company through Huey, because the locomotive hit and killed Huey's girlfriend. In order to suppress this matter, they would definitely ask Huey to enter the Vought Group to negotiate compensation.
In this case, Huey is the only person Butcher can think of, besides Witchcrow, who can walk into the Vought Group openly.
For this reason, Butcher approached Huey and aroused his hatred of superhuman beings, hoping that he could install a bug inside the Vought Group when he entered the Vought Group to collect hush money.
Originally, everything went smoothly, but what Butcher never expected was that Huey, who was taking out the bug in the bathroom, was directly looked at by the invisible man, the resident guest in the bathroom.
In this way, the invisible man took off the bug and followed Huey all the way back to where he worked. If Butcher hadn't arrived in time, Huey would have been almost paralyzed by the invisible man.
Finally, with the combined efforts of the two of them, they used electric current to stun the invisible man and transported him all the way here.
But this time, the invisible man became a hot potato in their hands. Although Bucher did control the invisible man now, how to kill him made it difficult for everyone.
"You know the invisible man's skin is made of carbon material, right? It's tougher than anything in the world. Even the terrorists couldn't blast his skin with thermal weapons. What do you want me to do with it!? "
The Frenchman said excitedly, now the invisible man has also seen his face, if he doesn't kill the invisible man, then all of them will be finished.
"So I said, if you have no other choice, just sit on the edge. I am looking for more professional people to deal with this problem." Butcher opened a bottle of wine and took a swig.
"Professional? Huh?"
The Frenchman laughed silently, and then he nodded.
"Okay, okay, I swear, if Walter tracks the chip on this guy and finds us, I will empty the magazine in your head before the motherland does."
"Of course, you can kick my head like a ball if you want, but it's too late to regret it now."
Butcher put down the bottle and spoke.
"So I advise you to find a way to kill the invisible man quickly. Otherwise, we can only pray whether my people arrive first or the Super Seven arrives first."
