Chapter 21 Saving Kimiko

The cause of the incident is this.

Because Xingguang was not bullied online, the public relations department responded in time, resulting in Xingguang not being treated coldly as in the original book, and temporarily waiting for the arrangement of the superiors.

She was assigned to her patrol position and carried out daily routine patrols.

To be more specific, it is to fight criminals under the arrangement of the company and show her charm as a superhero.

Take photos with passers-by, pose a few more, and the public relations department will promote it, and Xingguang's work is over.

For ordinary people who join the Seven, including the former Shenhai, they only need to listen to the company's orders.

There is no need to do anything extra.

But who is Xingguang?

She is different from the other members of the Seven. Xingguang's passion has not subsided. She is full of desire to become a superhero to fight evil. How can she listen to the company's arrangements?

Of course, as a newcomer, Xingguang must not confront the company openly, and even pretend to be a good girl and listen to the company.

But under this premise, it doesn't seem too much for Xingguang to pay a little attention to any noteworthy crimes around.

Then, as expected, Xingguang discovered a detention incident in Chinatown.

According to Xingguang, she found that there was something wrong with a store in Chinatown through observation.

There were only two staff members in this grocery store, and there were only three people including the boss, but one of them bought six portions of noodles.

Xingguang initially thought that perhaps an acquaintance of the owner came to the store, and she didn't intend to care much until she heard the conversation between two of them.

Through the conversation between the two people, Xingguang learned that they had detained a person here, saying that the situation was tense these days and the public security suddenly became very strict. The superiors ordered them to transfer the detained person at night.

Xingguang immediately remembered it in her heart, and then after get off work, she asked Kevin to come here to rescue people.

"Why me?"

Kevin stared at Xingguang with a deadly look.

Xingguang said as a matter of course:

"You are my idol now, and we are still friends. I know you will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen."

"...I thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

I'm not really thanking you! You stinky girl!!

Kevin wanted to curse, but he couldn't just go home and ignore everything.

It's a small matter that Xingguang thinks he is a bad person. It's better to say that if Xingguang really thinks so, Kevin should say thank you.

The problem is that if Kevin is not wrong, the imprisonment incident that Xingguang encountered should be related to Kimiko, the "wolf girl" in the original plot.

Miyashiro Kimiko, originally a member of the terrorist "Flash Army", was forced... Later, for some reason, she was abducted to America and forced to inject Compound No. 5 to become a superhuman.

In the original plot, Kimiko first appeared in the basement of a Chinatown grocery store.

So if there is no accident, what Xingguang discovered must be related to Kimiko.

Kimiko was injected with Compound No. 5 because Homelander wanted to create a super terrorist.

Homelander wanted to make Congress feel dangerous through this, and let them think that only superheroes can protect them, so as to realize Madeline's plan to let superheroes enter the army.

Kimiko is one of his test subjects...

However, in the original book, before Homelander started to release Kimiko, the protagonist Huey and his group got there first, and Kimiko became a member of the protagonist group from then on.

Originally, saving Kimiko should have been the protagonist Huey's job, but now it has been Starlight and Kevin himself.

Kevin thought calmly and analyzed carefully, and found that he might really be to blame for this.

Obviously, the group of human traffickers that Kevin killed at sea before were the "professional team" that specifically trafficked people for Homelander's experiments.

As a result, because Kevin killed them, the group and the government began to crack down on this group of human traffickers, forcing this group of human traffickers to transfer Kimiko.

And because Kevin participated in Xingguang's affairs and did not let Xingguang sit on the bench, Xingguang patrolled here and discovered this group of human traffickers, thus connecting everything.

So... I screwed me?

After sorting out the cause and effect of the matter, Kevin slapped his forehead.

Because this matter was related to Kevin, Kevin wanted to come with Xingguang, one is to prevent Xingguang from offending the motherland at this time.

On the other hand, he also wanted to see if he could get new skill points.

In the end, did he still "really smell good"...

"Look, someone went in!"

Kevin was melancholy, but Xingguang was very interested. She patted Kevin's shoulder, called him back from his distracted state, and pointed to the grocery store in front and said.

Kevin came back to see an Asian-faced Oriental man carrying a bunch of boxes of noodles into the grocery store.

Judging from the amount of noodles in his hand, there are at least seven people in the grocery store, including him.

Excluding the detained Kimiko, the remaining six people may be related to Compound No. 5.

That is, they are related to Homelander and Locomotive.

Kevin actually didn't want to fight Homelander so early, which was inconsistent with his long-standing policy of lying flat.

But thinking that Kimiko might be transferred by this group of people because of his relationship, he didn't know where she would be transferred to at that time.

Although this would destroy the original plot, Kevin would gain a lot of skill points.

But saving people would also gain a lot of skill points anyway, so it would be better to participate than to leave it alone.

After all...

A certain superhero next to him was very excited. If he didn't participate, God knew what would happen under Starlight's random operation.

With his own participation, he could at least have some control over what happened next.

"Let's go in!"

Seeing that the man had already gone in and confirmed that all the people were in the grocery store, Starlight pulled Kevin and prepared to follow him in.

Kevin was still trying to make a final struggle:

"Why don't we call the police?"

"We are superheroes! Why should we call the police?"

Because of the participation of the Water Group, superheroes have law enforcement power and certain immunity from killing, so there is no need to call the police at all, they are the police themselves.

"Then tell the group?"

Kevin continued to ask.

But when the group was mentioned, the excitement on Xingguang's face disappeared instantly.

"Tell the group? They will only tell us not to participate in such things, and then arrange similar scripts for us to perform on the screen! Deep Sea, we are superheroes, not actors!"

But we are actors now...

Kevin wanted to complain.

But Xingguang was impatient:

"Are you going or not? If not, I will go in alone!"

"...Forget it, I will go with you."

Save you from being defeated and performing a real-life pornographic plot in there.

Although Kevin didn't think Xingguang would lose to a few ordinary people.
