Chapter 22 Low-Key Entry

It was easy to enter the grocery store.

Xingguang was wearing ordinary everyday clothes, and with a hood on, no one could recognize her as the famous Xingguang.

Kevin learned from yesterday's lesson and not only wore a baseball cap, but also a pair of black-framed plain glasses.

This outfit was not only for ordinary people, but even the Chinese people might not be able to tell who Shenhai was without perspective.

Two seemingly ordinary people would not be noticed by anyone when they entered the grocery store.

After all, as long as you don't say it, who knows if you are here to buy things or do something else?

The boss couldn't keep staring at the surveillance camera.

Xingguang and Kevin followed the man in front of them until they saw him walk to a basement and lock the basement door, and then they stopped.

Looking at the locked door lock, Xingguang pointed with her finger, then turned to Kevin and said:

"What should I do?"

"...Are you asking me?"

Sister, you are the mastermind, and I am the accomplice! Are you asking me?

No, how could I classify myself as a criminal...

Xingguang also knew that he seemed to have asked a stupid question. The door was locked, and neither of them had the ability to unlock it. There seemed to be no other way to get in except to force the door open.

Unfortunately, this was not an electronic lock, otherwise Xingguang could still try with his own ability.

"So, I'll attract the attention of those people outside, and then you find a chance to break the door open."

Xingguang thought for a while and came up with an idea that seemed to work.

But Kevin rolled his eyes:

"Then people recognized you as Xingguang and I as Shenhai, and in the end we both made the headlines of tomorrow's news?"

"Then what do you say? We don't have the key!"

"Tsk, trouble, wait a minute."

Kevin scratched his head irritably, and then took a bottle of mineral water from the shelf next to him while no one was watching.

Xingguang looked at him a little puzzled, and Kevin didn't explain. He took the mineral water and brought Xingguang to the door, and then unscrewed the bottle cap.

"What are you doing...?"

"Don't talk, I'm just trying. If it doesn't work, we'll just keep watching and wait for them to move the victims at night, and then we'll take action."

Although it's very likely that we'll run into a locomotive or a Homelander...

Kevin complained in his heart, but his hands didn't slow down at all.

He used his ability to control the water flow to control the water in the bottle to flow out.

Xingguang on the side widened her eyes when she saw this. She had never seen the deep sea have such an ability. The new ability Kevin showed at this moment really surprised her.

Under Kevin's control, the water flowed into the keyhole in front of him. Kevin closed his eyes, felt the flow of the water, and let it condense and form in the keyhole.

Finally, he turned his right hand slightly, and with a "click", the door lock opened.

"Open!"

Xingguang exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Kevin with a little more admiration that was hard to conceal.

Now this girl probably likes Kevin more.

Refers to the love of fans for idols.

Kevin was relieved after successfully using his ability to open the lock.

With the water flow control upgraded to LV3, Kevin can control water in a wider range and make more delicate movements.

For example, he can transform the water flow into various sculpture-like shapes, or let the water enter certain places and then shape them like now.

Because of this new ability, Kevin wanted to try whether he could "make" a master key by himself.

Unexpectedly, it really works.

Get a new use of the ability!

"Okay, let's go in."

Put the water flowing into the keyhole back into the bottle, and Kevin put the bottle into his pocket.

His ability to control water flow is good, but he can't create water out of thin air. Perhaps the LV3 level of water flow control is not enough to do this, so if Kevin wants to use this ability, he'd better carry a water bottle with him.

Of course, this is limited to tasks such as "infiltration".

If it is a fair fight, Kevin can get water from underground and from the shops on both sides for himself.

After all, in the city, the last thing that is lacking is water.

Even a little disgusting, sewage is not a problem...

The basement door opened, and Xingguang and Kevin tiptoed in.

Entering the basement... or the underground warehouse, Kevin and Xingguang immediately became alert.

The two knew what they were doing now. They did not come here to investigate as superheroes, but sneaked in here as individuals.

Therefore, try not to let people see them unless necessary, at least try to hide as much as possible before finding the victim or evidence that this group of people illegally imprisoned others.

It’s not too late to take action after finding the victim or evidence.

Kevin thought so, he didn’t want to make any big noise.

It’s just a pity that as soon as he and Xingguang entered the door, they ran into a man who was about to go out.

The man was wearing a yellow T-shirt and holding a half-eaten lunch box in his hand. He was eating as he walked, and he looked like he was going to get something.

Unfortunately, he walked to the entrance of the basement and met Kevin and Xingguang who had just entered.

"WT..."

Seeing a stranger entering the territory, the man subconsciously threw away the lunch box in his hand and reached for his waist.

There was a gun there.

"!!"

Swish——!

But before the man could shoot, there was a loud explosion. Kevin felt as if he had been hit by a flash bomb. His eyes suddenly turned white, and then black.

After a second of regaining his vision, Kevin noticed that the unlucky man had been knocked out by Xingguang's "Starlight Cannon".

His chest was charred and he was going to die.

Seeing this, Kevin turned his head and looked at Xingguang.

This was undoubtedly Xingguang's ability.

Starlight Annie's superpower is like this, gathering beams and then firing them out, a bit like an extremely weakened version of Captain Marvel.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at me for? I was just startled! Uh... is he dead?"

Starlight, who was frightened by the man and reacted subconsciously, only realized at this moment that she seemed to have exerted too much force just now, and the enemy hit by her "Starlight" probably didn't survive.

Kevin was too lazy to complain about why the secret investigation he had agreed to before would now become a strong attack, because reality didn't give him the opportunity to complain at all.

The man who was killed by Starlight's shot still alarmed the other people in the basement with the noise he made before his death.

These people reacted quickly and their methods were very brutal. They didn't seem to care what happened at all, and they rushed out with rifles.

When they saw Kevin and Starlight, they pulled the trigger directly and fired a burst of shots.

Gunshots rang out, sparks flew, Kevin immediately grabbed Xingguang and hid behind a pillar, and unscrewed the cap of the water bottle in his pocket, controlling the water flow to form three arrows suspended in the air.

In the dim basement, the transparent water arrows suspended in the air were inconspicuous, and Kevin controlled them very quickly. Before those people could react, the water arrows accurately penetrated their throats.

Puff!

The sound of the sharp blade piercing the flesh sounded almost at the same time, and at the same time, the gunshots all stopped, and the three gun-holding strong men fell straight to the ground.

After the enemy was solved, Kevin walked out from behind the pillar with Xingguang.

Xingguang looked at the bodies lying on the ground, and didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said to Kevin:

"You didn't need to take me to hide just now, I'm not afraid of bullets."

In addition to launching "Starlight", Xingguang's superpowers also include super physique and super defense.

In the original novel, Butcher used a sniper rifle to shoot Starlight at a very close distance, and Starlight was only blown away by the impact force, and was not injured.

Therefore, ordinary rifle bullets are ineffective against Starlight.

They are also ineffective against Kevin now.

"I know, but you know? The traces of bullets hitting superhumans and bullets hitting walls are different. Don't you want to keep a low profile? Then try not to let the company know about this."

Mainly, try not to let Homelander know.

Otherwise, if Homelander comes over with a red eye, both of us may be finished.
