Chapter 186 Press Conference

What is it like to be on a roller coaster that suddenly derails and falls from above?

I believe that few people can answer this question.

Because only a few people can survive such an accident, but as a bystander, Kevin said that the moment the roller coaster flew out was actually quite beautiful.

It was like a flying dragon that was about to fly into the sky, suspended and soaring.

But if this "flying dragon" really flew up, it would indeed be a very beautiful thing, but this "flying dragon" turned sharply and headed straight to the ground just after it took off.

The front of the car was aimed at the ground below and passers-by, and it was about to cause a tragedy.

Because the incident happened too suddenly, Kevin rushed up faster than he thought.

At that moment, everything in the world seemed to slow down in front of his eyes. In just two or three seconds, Kevin had completed the sprint to the front of the roller coaster and controlled the nearby water to gush out from the ground.

The water gushed out from the nearby fountains and fire hydrants on the side of the road at a very fast speed.

They condensed and formed under Kevin's control, and used the newly learned [Shaping] magic to create a roller coaster track in front of the roller coaster for buffering.

Although Kevin had just learned the shaping magic, and he was not sure about the details of the roller coaster track, the passengers on the car were slightly "bumped".

But overall, the passengers on the roller coaster were not hurt too much.

Except for the shock.

"Hey! Is everyone okay!!"

Kevin asked the passengers on it after the roller coaster stopped safely.

The passengers were still in shock. They looked at each other for a long time before someone cried out in shock.

At the same time, the onlookers finally realized what happened.

They gathered around, either discussing or looking at this scene in surprise, and applauded under the leadership of someone unknown.

"Deep Sea!! Great job!!"

"What? It's Deep Sea?! Deep Sea, I love you!!"

Obviously someone recognized Kevin and surrounded him immediately.

Not many people even paid attention to the victims.

Kevin was helpless. He wanted to push the crowd away, but he was worried about hurting the enthusiastic fans, so he could only greet them while squeezing out:

"Thank you, thank you for your love, but can you please let me go and call an ambulance!"

Kevin was surrounded by fans. Although he knew that the victims on the roller coaster should be fine, he still felt that the fans paid attention to themselves first instead of paying attention to the injuries of others, which was a bit too indifferent.

And compared to this, he wanted to see why the roller coaster flew off the track.

It's a pity that he couldn't get away now.

No way, Kevin could only look towards Annie for help.

After discovering that Kevin was exposed, Annie went a step further in disguise. She put on a rabbit mask sold on the roadside and made an 'OK' gesture to Kevin, indicating that she knew what to do.

Then he turned to Kate beside him and said:

"Kate, please take Kimiko over there to play first, I have something to do."

"Do you need my help?"

"No, you can just play by yourselves, we will meet up with you after we finish the things here."

Annie said to Kate with a smile.

Kate is not very old, and Kimiko is not mature mentally. In Kevin and Anne's eyes, they are just children.

There is no reason to let children work with you.

Annie asked Kate to take Kimiko away. After seeing them walk away, she went to the side of the roller coaster to investigate.

Such a big thing happened, and a group of staff and security guards gathered next to the roller coaster project.

They maintained order while protecting the scene from being damaged and preventing passers-by from approaching.

Annie moved closer and used facial recognition to let the person in charge let her in without revealing her identity, so that she could observe the roller coaster project up close.

Then, she saw a very obvious gap at the connection of the rails above the roller coaster track.

It was as if something had erased it.

"Another superhuman..."

Annie frowned and thought.

The gap in the roller coaster rails was obviously not caused by human power.

Even if this roller coaster had been in disrepair for a long time, it was impossible for such a large gap to appear without anyone noticing it.

Or before the gap became a large gap, the roller coaster project would have a serious accident, and there was no reason to let it become so large.

So the explanation for the sudden appearance of the gap was very reasonable.

Anne couldn't think of any other possibility except superhumans who could do this.

Is it a super villain?

Anne thought in her heart while investigating.

Although the [Super Villain Alliance] has been destroyed by the Seven, super villains continue to appear.

There are many superhumans who are not satisfied with the status quo, and many abandoned superhumans. They unite in unknown places to form small super villain alliances one after another.

The Super Villain Alliance that was previously defeated by the Seven was just a spark.

The Seven did not put it out, but ignited the evil fire in the hearts of other superhumans through television broadcasts.

Coupled with the incident of Compound No. 5, many superhumans realized that they were not born like this, which led to their criminal activities becoming more rampant.

The super villain that the Homelander killed in Africa a few days ago was not an isolated case.

It’s okay in New York, because there is the Seven. Even if the super villains want to cause trouble, they have to consider whether they can withstand the group fight of the Seven.

But in other places...super villains don’t have so many restrictions.

Now, even in the city where the Vought Group is located, the main stationed city of the Seven, there are super villains who attack ordinary people. It is conceivable how serious the current situation is.

"The attacker... There seems to be no one around."

After checking and confirming that it was indeed the work of a superhuman, Annie turned around and looked around, ready to find the superhuman who attacked the roller coaster.

But probably because of Kevin's appearance, the superhuman knew that it was unlikely to continue to cause damage, so he hid.

No matter how hard Annie looked, she didn't find anyone who was too suspicious.

Until Kevin got rid of those fans and returned to her side, Annie didn't get much.

"What happened?"

Kevin, who had finally waited for the police and firefighters to come and escaped from the fans' pursuit and interception, approached Annie and asked.

Annie told what she saw and said:

"Now more and more superhumans have become super villains, Kevin, we have to find a way to stop them, otherwise more people will be harmed."

"I know, I'm thinking of a way, but this matter can't be rushed for a while."

Kevin certainly knew how troublesome the mess Edgar left for him was.

[Super Villain League] is a fuse. Even if the league is destroyed, at least it will let many people with ulterior motives understand that these superhumans with bad intentions can also gather together to form an evil alliance similar to the Seven.

Because there are more and more superhumans with similar ideas, Kevin wants to develop a potion that can make superhumans lose their superpowers.

At the same time, the Hero Association was established to restrain the superhumans under his command, and to select real heroes to deal with super villains.

Kevin is really doing something, but whether it is a potion that can make superhumans lose their powers or the establishment of a superhero association, it takes time.

…

In the theme park of the Seven, the roller coaster was attacked and derailed. Not many people knew about this.

And this matter can be big or small. In a big way, it is that the No. 5 compound of the Vought Group has produced so many super villains and needs to be responsible for this matter.

In a small way, this is the irresponsible behavior of a certain superhuman himself, which has nothing to do with the Vought Group.

Which side it will develop into depends on the actual situation.

And the reality is that some congressmen headed by Victoria Newman began to protest and condemn the Vought Group on this matter.

Kevin was forced to hold a press conference under their coercion to respond to the increasingly serious super villains.

The person who was in charge of questioning Kevin was the recently popular congressman Newman.

Because she had been targeting the Vought Group, she was labeled as the enemy of Vought by everyone. This was her political resource. Therefore, after knowing what happened in the amusement park, Newman was the first to stand up and accuse Vought.

"As we all know, the emergence of superhumans is inseparable from the Vought Group. Although the super villains now seem to have nothing to do with the Vought Group, if there is no Compound No. 5, super villains will not appear. What do you think? Mr. Moskowitz."

In front of the reporters, Newman mercilessly pointed out the pain points facing the Vought Group now.

Compound No. 5 came from the Vought Group. No matter whether it was led by Madeline or Edgar, it was ultimately a product of the Vought Group.

The Vought Group should be responsible for this.

"Congressman Newman...right."

Kevin stood in front of the microphone and looked at Newman expressionlessly:

"I suggest that Congressman Newman should think carefully before speaking. The matter of Compound No. 5 has not been completely determined, and it is hard to say whether it came from the laboratory of the Water Group.

"Perhaps this is just as the former CEO Mr. Edgar said, this is just Madeline Stillwell's personal behavior."

"So you want to shirk responsibility, right?"

Newman pursued him relentlessly, and Kevin frowned.

He looked at Newman and said:

"I never said I wanted to shirk responsibility. In fact, the Water Group is now dealing with all matters related to Compound No. 5. If you understand it carefully, you will know that the Water Group is now doing its best to compensate the families who have suffered difficulties due to Compound No. 5.

"Not only that, we are also recycling all Compound No. 5 on the market and destroying them, striving to minimize the impact of Compound No. 5 on society."

"But even so, Compound No. 5 led to the emergence of super villains, which is also a fact. What you have done does not seem to prevent super villains from continuing to appear."

Newman kept talking about super villains.

Because this is indeed a problem that the Water Group is difficult to face now.

No matter what, the existence of super villains is related to the Vought Group. Even if Kevin takes back Compound No. 5, the super villains will not disappear, and the superpowers in their bodies will still exist.

This is not something that can be solved by taking back Compound No. 5.

If the Vought Group wants to deal with this matter, it needs other means.
