Chapter 262 Barry Recovers

After Homelander finished speaking, no one dared to speak again.

Although Ashley understood what Homelander was saying, she was afraid that she had misunderstood him, so she asked him:

"Betray...betray...can you be more specific?"

Homelander turned to look at her, and Ashley swallowed nervously.

Fortunately, Homelander didn't do anything to her. He still had a smile on his face and said to them:

"He was 'brainwashed' by the super villain."

"Ah..."

"How heartbreaking, our comrade, one of us, our former best partner, was found out by the super villain, brainwashed, and let him deal with us. To be honest, I am really sad."

Homelander showed a sad expression while speaking.

Ashley finally understood what Homelander meant. She glanced at the other people in the room and only took a second to think about what she should do.

"Yes... yes, that's right, Deep Sea... because he was expelled from the Seven Team by the group, he holds a grudge against us..."

"No, Ashley."

Homelander raised his finger to stop her from continuing and corrected her words:

"It's not holding a grudge, it's being brainwashed by a super villain, do you understand? Our Seven Team will never... never betray ourselves, we are one, a family! Only brainwashing can make Deep Sea do such a sad thing."

"Yes, brainwashing... He was brainwashed and wanted to sabotage the set, so you had to kill him reluctantly..."

"I'm glad you understand me, Ashley."

Ashley's words obviously hit the mark of Homelander, and she was praised by Homelander.

Maeve watched all this indifferently.

She was not surprised at the direction of the topic now.

Homelander always does this, forcibly imposing his own preferences and ideas on others, calling black white and good people evil.

I'm afraid Homelander had thought of a corresponding plan as early as when he killed Deepsea.

Super villain, this excuse pushed out by the death of Invisible Man is really useful. Homelander has been using it until now and put all the blame on them.

Maeve is quite clear about Homelander's actions in her heart, but even though she is clear, Maeve can't do anything now.

For her girlfriend Elena, Maeve can only remain silent now, otherwise the one who will be hurt in the end... will not be her, but her girlfriend.

Homelander's words are obviously not finished.

After making the argument that 'Deepsea is a super villain', he mentioned Starlight again:

"And Starlight, she was probably deceived by the super villain, it doesn't matter, we can find her out, and then... all the super villains related to her, all! Get rid of them all.

"It is also our responsibility to clean up the garbage that pollutes the environment for this world, right, guys? "

Homelander also characterized Starlight as being related to a super villain.

But the key is not Homelander's opinion of Starlight, but what Homelander said.

'Eliminate all the super villains related to her.'

This means... Homelander wants to get rid of the people and things that Starlight cares about, just like he did to those who approached Maeve.

And Maeve still couldn't say anything.

She lowered her head and looked at the ground, as if there was something on the ground that attracted her, and she looked at it silently.

Homelander still sat on Ashley's desk and looked at her.

But soon he moved his eyes away and looked at the engine:

"I'll give you a chance. Find Starlight and you can return to the Seven."

"Uh... Ashley has already told me about this mission just now."

The engine replied.

Almost at the moment of his answer, Ashley hurriedly said:

"It was Mr. Edgar's idea! He...he wants the engine to find Starlight back..."

"Don't be so nervous, isn't this good? It's rare that Edgar and I have reached a consensus."

Homelander smiled and clapped his hands:

"Okay, I believe everyone should know their tasks, so go and get busy. By the way, Maeve stays."

Homelander pointed at Queen Maeve.

Others dared not say a word and left Ashley's office. Only the engine hesitated for a moment before leaving the office, as if he wanted to say something.

But unfortunately, Homelander did not notice the engine's hesitation.

"Engine, you should go to work."

He ordered the engine that stopped at the door.

A speedster who can no longer run for a long time and can no longer run as fast as before is not worth Homelander's attention at all.

In fact, Homelander even wanted to let Shockwave replace the engine.

But Shockwave is not here now, and the engine happens to be right in front of him.

Based on the principle of proximity, Homelander chose the engine.

So he didn't really want to give Lokomotiv a chance, but he chose him because he had no other choice except this guy.

It doesn't mean that Homelander can really treat him like before.

Lokomotiv obviously understood what Homelander meant.

He was a little hesitant and wanted to say something, but in the end he left the office without saying anything and quickly rushed to the hotel where Deep Sea in the parallel world was.

Deep Sea in this world asked Lokomotiv to notify him if there was any major change in the Seven Team.

So when Deep Sea died before, Lokomotiv called him.

It's the same now.

If something happens within the Seven Team, the identities of Deep Sea and Starlight as "super villains" should be completely determined under Homelander's arrangement.

Lokomotiv thought that he might be able to do something during this period to further consolidate his status in the Seven Team.

For example... ask for help from Deep Sea in the parallel world, who is so strong at first glance.

Although the other party seems to be difficult to mess with, Lokomotiv believes that as long as the other party does not want to kill him, everything can be discussed.

So after the meeting, the first thing that the locomotive thought of was the deep sea in the parallel world, and returned to the hotel where they were.

At the speed of the locomotive, it would not take long to rush from the Vought Group to the hotel where they were.

The locomotive did have a heart disease, but it was not so serious that he could not run. With the quick-acting medicine on him, the locomotive could also ensure that he would not die from a heart attack.

Rushing back to the hotel, the locomotive wanted to tell Kevin and the Seven about the matter immediately.

But as soon as he opened the door of the hotel bedroom, he saw a ball of golden lightning running rapidly in the room.

Subconsciously, the locomotive used his ability. Through his ability as a speedster, he caught the shadow of the golden lightning and recognized the other party.

The ball of golden lightning was the person brought by the deep sea in the parallel world! The guy who looked stupid!

But if the locomotive remembered correctly, he should not have had superpowers before, right?

...

"Hey, you're back?"

Kevin, who was watching the Flash Barry having fun in the room, noticed the movement at the door.

He greeted the engine standing at the door, and then said:

"Close the door, come in if you have anything to say."

The engine Reggie walked into the house in a daze, looked at Barry running around there, pointed at the golden lightning and asked:

"He...he..."

"He is a superhero in a parallel world, you can call him the Flash."

"...But wasn't he an ordinary person before?!"

"He just lost his ability temporarily for some reason, and now his ability has been restored...Okay Barry, stop."

Seeing that Barry's speed was getting faster and faster, Kevin's naked eyes could hardly catch the opponent's speed, so Kevin asked Barry to stop.

Barry stopped again, still wearing the shirt he wore when he came, and excitedly looked at his hands flashing with golden electricity:

"I succeeded! And...it seems faster than before?!"

"Are you sure it's the Speed ​​Force?"

"Sure! It's nothing else, it's the Speed ​​Force!"

Barry was very sure.

After he finished eating just now, he was like a car filled with fuel, full of power all over his body.

Golden sparks exploded on his body, and then Barry felt that he had regained his speed.

Kevin was worried that he had not regained the speed force, but that he had let Barry test his strength by strengthening the superpowers after the awakening of No. 5.

Fortunately, Barry did have the speed force.

There was no accident on this point.

So according to this point of view, Barry still has the speed force of the DC universe in his body, but for some reason, it has never been activated.

Compound No. 5 has stimulated his ability.

However, if this statement is followed, the mutant drug that can activate the X gene can probably restore Barry's ability.

Anyway, it is a good thing that Barry has regained the speed force.

Kevin ignored the locomotive next to him and continued to ask Barry:

"What are you going to do now? Go back to your original world, or... continue to stay with me?"

Barry has regained the speed force, and now a day has passed. Kevin has also confirmed the changes in skill points after bringing the plot characters over.

Let me start with the conclusion.

Kevin did not pay any extra skill points to Barry.

The previous skill tree prompt said that it would take three skill points to bring someone here, and then every day, one extra skill point would be paid to maintain that person's existence in the world.

Otherwise, he would be sent back to his original world.

But it has been 24 hours since Kevin brought Barry here, and apart from the three skill points he brought him here at the beginning, he has not paid any extra skill points yet.

Not only that, his skill points are still slowly rising.

I don't know whether it is from Wolverine 3 or the change of fate in the DC universe that is providing Kevin with skill points.

Kevin guessed that this might be because bringing Barry here also changed the plot of the DC world, allowing Kevin to barely reach the balance of skill points, so he didn't pay extra skill points.

According to this inference, in the future, Kevin will take Wolverine away. In addition to the three skill points needed to open the world, it is estimated that he will not need extra skill points to maintain Wolverine's existence.

This is good news.

In the future, Kevin will not be bound by his hands and feet when leading people. As long as they are plot characters, he can bring whoever he wants.

Let's talk about the skill points here for now. Kevin is still waiting for Barry's answer.

Barry said without hesitation:

"I will help you get rid of your current troubles first, and then go back."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course! You have helped me so much, I have to help you anyway. You don't have to worry about me. I will not be a burden to you now."

Barry said seriously.

It looked like he had already made the decision and would give an answer immediately if Kevin asked.
