Chapter 200 Only Now Do We Think of Seeking External Assistance

In the special interrogation room of the Water Group, Ghost's parents and Ghost were talking face to face.

Kevin sat outside the interrogation room, watching them chatting through the glass, and finally confirmed that the ghost in front of him was not the ghost in his world.

She was the ghost of World Line A.

That is, World A where nothing had changed and was still moving forward according to the original plot line.

In Ghost's world, she learned about Compound No. 5 and decided to take revenge with her friends on those parents who made them what they are now and then abandoned them as garbage.

After solving her friends' "enemies" one after another, Ghost successfully killed her father with the help of her friends.

But when she was about to attack her mother and put an end to it all, the people of the Water Group arrived in time.

They, together with Homelander, killed all her friends.

Or it could be said that Homelander was the only one who took action and "executed" them all.

She was the only one left, and she escaped because of her own ability.

The Water Group did not care about her. After all, Water could not control the spirit, and Ghost herself could not touch anything.

That's how it should be.

But just as the ghost was getting into the ground and preparing to escape, her eyes suddenly lit up, and when she opened her eyes again, she appeared in front of Kevin.

It was as if someone had teleported her here.

"You really don't remember how you got here?"

After the ghost finished talking to her parents, Kevin met with the ghost alone and asked questions.

The ghost shook her head:

"... I don't remember, I'm not sure, I'm... confused now."

Suddenly knowing about Compound No. 5, they gathered their friends within a few days to take revenge on their parents.

After finally taking revenge, they were killed by the Homelanders, leaving only themselves.

I had thought of going back to kill my mother after escaping, but in the blink of an eye, I ran to another seemingly ambiguous world.

After experiencing so many things in just a few days, Ghost's mind was now in a mess, and he couldn't think of a complete thought at all.

Seeing that Ghost couldn't say anything, Kevin didn't force it and changed the subject:

"Do you remember what happened in your world?"

Kevin was now very curious about the other black robe world line, how far their plot had developed.

The ghost looked up at Kevin, then lowered his head and said nothing.

Kevin was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

After about ten minutes, the ghost slowly spoke:

"...Are you Deep Sea?"

"Yes, it should be different from what you remember, right?"

"Well, the Deep Sea in my memory left the Seven Team because of the unspoken rule of Starlight, and there has been no news for a long time."

The ghost recounted the experience of Deep Sea in another world.

Kevin nodded, not surprised at all by what she said, and then asked:

"What about others? For example, the Starlight you mentioned?"

"Starlight...she is very famous recently, she released a song, and also filmed a lot of commercials, although I don't like her new uniform very much."

"What about others?"

"Homelander, Black, and Locomotive are still the same, there is no big change. I heard that the Seven joined a popular newcomer named Storm, but I didn't pay much attention to her."

"Has Homelander been caught in any public opinion storm?"

Kevin continued to ask.

Ghost tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally shook his head:

"I haven't heard of any public opinion."

It seems that the timeline over there is slightly earlier than this one.

It was after Storm joined, before Homelander killed the super villain and accidentally killed civilians, thus getting caught in a public opinion storm.

However, the timelines of both sides are roughly the same, at least the matter of Compound No. 5 has been exposed.

After confirming the time progress on the other side, Kevin returned to the original topic and said:

"Okay, I roughly know the situation on your side, so now let's go back to the beginning. Before you came to this world, did you have any...special discoveries?"

"I don't know."

The ghost shook her head, and then she continued to add, perhaps because she was afraid that Kevin would not believe it:

"I really don't know. After the motherland...the motherland killed my friends, I...I ran away, and then came here. This is my experience. Apart from that, I really don't know anything."

While the ghost was speaking, she covered her face and began to cry:

"Really...I really don't know why this happened. We are not wrong at all, are we? My friends are not wrong either!

"If it weren't for them...those irresponsible parents, we wouldn't be like this now! But why...oh...God..."

The ghost cried, her tears left the corners of her eyes, sprinkled into the void, and finally dissipated into the air.

The ghost's ability made her a person from another dimension, and everything about her could not affect the world where people exist now.

Including tears.

And this is not the worst.

Although she became a ghost, she could still feel hungry, but she could not eat anything and lived in hunger every day.

After enduring so much pain, it is reasonable for the ghost to hate her parents.

Kevin did not want to criticize her, nor did he want to lecture her from a moral point of view.

He just patiently waited for the ghost to stop crying and helped her find a psychologist for psychological counseling.

As for Kevin himself, while he asked Walter to continue investigating the missing superhumans, he called the current manager of the Red River Welfare Home and asked her to bring the files of the missing superhuman orphans.

Before this, Kevin thought he had paid enough attention to these orphans.

He improved the welfare of these orphans in the orphanage, patiently arranged psychological counseling for them, helped them understand the current situation, and prepared ways to eliminate superhuman abilities.

These preparations cannot be said to be useless.

In fact, many orphans in Red River now choose to stay and do not participate in this revenge action.

Even if they got their parents' addresses, they didn't take any action, but stayed in the welfare house.

But this was still not enough.

The pain brought to them by the garbage superpowers was not only psychological, but also physical.

For example, the water man who could turn himself into water but couldn't move, or the "slow motion" where all actions were extremely slow.

There was also the "human tongue" who was born without bones and was like a huge tongue. All her actions could only be completed by others. Like the water man, she had no self-care ability at all.

In addition to these, there were more garbage superpowers.

Their existence told Kevin that Compound No. 5 brought not only the superheroes on the surface, but also innocent people like them who had difficulty surviving.

Looking through the information of these superhuman orphans, Kevin sighed, left Water and came to the woods again.

Before, Kevin was no longer as concerned about the development of serum No. 5 as he was at the beginning, because the scientific research team of Water Group could not develop the "antidote" of compound No. 5.

But now Kevin feels that he can actually urge it a little more.

People will never know their potential unless they are pushed.

Kevin thought so, and urged the scientific research team under Water, but Cardoza said that this is really not a problem that can be solved by urging and forcing.

"...Boss, unless you call out the founder of compound No. 5 now, we really can't speed up."

Cardoza looked bitter.

Kevin is an outsider. He thinks that for scientific research, if there are people, money, and a drug as a template, a serum that can reverse the drug and make it ineffective can be developed in a short time.

But sometimes, someone with money and a template may not be able to handle everything.

There is still a little bit of inspiration that seems ordinary but is actually difficult to obtain.

Sometimes scientific research is just a little inspiration away.

With or without inspiration, with or without luck, the final result is very different.

Cardoza is not a genius. It is a great achievement for him to strengthen Compound No. 5, and this is based on the experience of his predecessors.

Now, in a short period of time, he really can't come up with the "Serum No. 5" that can make Compound No. 5 ineffective.

"Is there really no way?"

Kai·Scientific Research Layman·Wen asked unwillingly.

Cardoza shook his head like a rattle:

"Like I said, unless you can call out the founder of Compound No. 5, or call out the geniuses in science fiction works, otherwise... there is really no way in a short period of time..."

"Wait, what did you say?"

Just after Cardoza finished speaking, Kevin suddenly had an idea, caught some information, and asked hurriedly.

Cardoza didn't understand, he felt that his voice should be loud just now... But at the request of his boss, he still repeated it:

"I said, unless you call out the founder of Compound No. 5, or a genius in science fiction works..."

"F**K!!!"

"?"

Before Cardoza finished speaking, Kevin's swearing made him full of question marks.

He almost thought that something of his had angered Kevin and made him angry.

But before Cardoza could ask, he saw Kevin hurriedly leaving the woods just like when he came.

Kevin's angry curse just now was not directed at Cardoza, but at Kevin himself.

The founder of Compound No. 5 is dead, Kevin certainly can't bring him back to life to explain the creation principle of Compound No. 5 to everyone.

But Kevin can get the genius in science fiction works!

Stark in the Marvel world and Hulk Banner, aren't they all geniuses in this area!

Especially Banner, he is a doctor of biology! If it were him, he would definitely be able to research the "Serum No. 5"!

But Kevin never thought of asking them for help!

Because he has always thought that whatever happened in which world should be solved in that world. Except for dealing with Ultron, Kevin has never thought of using the power of other worlds to help him solve the problems of another world.

His limited thinking made him think of asking for help from these geniuses in the Marvel world until now.

"It seems that I really have to stay in the Marvel world for a long time this time... Well, by the way, take Annie there for a day and see if I can find a way to improve her strength."

After deciding to temporarily return to the Marvel world to solve the problem of serum No. 5, Kevin thought of his girlfriend Annie again.

Annie had said before that she wanted to go to another universe, but Kevin's skill points were too tight before, and he didn't have enough to take Annie to another world.

But now, with the increase of skill points every day, plus the "extra money" at certain times, Kevin's skill points have expanded rapidly.

Although there is still a long way to go from level 6 to level 7, it is still no problem to take anyone to another world for a day or two.

Moreover, Annie's current strength is indeed much weaker than Kevin's.

Kevin doesn't ask Annie to become stronger, at least in the future when Kevin faces trouble, she must have the ability to protect herself.

At least the restriction of "only being able to use abilities when there is electricity around" should be lifted.

The hero code name is "Starlight", but you must have electricity around you to emit starlight, which is too poor.

"Just relax and go out for a trip."

After deciding on the next itinerary, Kevin said to himself slowly.
