In American comics, drawing cards reveals wave-particle duality

Chapter 17 The action begins, the cheap girlfriend who is PUA

"Frankie, have you checked the IP address of Mouse's phone?"

"I checked, and it seems that the other party has no intention of hiding his tracks. The IP location shows that he is near the video store in the city center."

French, wearing a windproof goggles and holding a cigarette, turned the computer monitor towards Butcher.

PS: Let me explain here to those who haven't seen the plot. Franky used to work in the gang, but later retired because he failed to protect his target. He is a technical geek.

MM used to supervise juvenile offenders and worked as a security guard. Later, he was pulled out by Butcher to help. He is a reliable black man who is half leader and half think tank.

"Video store? Hughie, I think you worked there before? This bitch actually knows where you worked..."

Butcher moved his entire upper body and looked at Huey, who seemed a little uncomfortable, with a playful look.

"So, he's a student there... or a member of the school board? We don't think we've heard much about this Godolphin University before."

MM sat on a small stool and began to think.

"Hughie, you used to be a fan of this damn Seven Bitch team. Do you know this Godalkin University?"

"Umm... This is an academy sponsored by the Vought Group that specializes in training superhumans. It is divided into two departments. One is the Art Academy founded by Earl Crimson, whose graduates can become stars, actors, and singers.

Another academy is the Crime Fighting Academy founded by the Lamplighter, whose graduates can become city police officers.

The last one is the recruitment ranking mechanism established by Godokin University and the Water Group. The school will determine the ranking based on the students' popularity, public opinion and the amount of money they can make.

The Water Group will recruit students based on the top ten on the ranking list. Generally speaking, the students ranked first and second can serve as alternatives to join the Super Seven Team.

Back then, Locomotive and Deep Sea were the first and second picks in the Crime Fighting Academy, but for some reason, the next picks never made it to the Sevens.”

"As for the rest, I didn't pay attention to it."

"Haha, fighting crime. Few of these bitch-born superhumans are normal. It's enough if you don't commit any crime yourself..."

As he spoke, Butcher looked at Huey meaningfully and gave his signature smile.

"Of course, I hope Starlight is a good girl, don't you, Huey."

Huey ignored Butcher's teasing. The bastard's mouth stank as if it was stuffed with dog shit... He was used to it.

Then he added:

"I feel that since the other party wants us to destroy this so-called 'forest' laboratory, this laboratory must be very complicated and may even be hiding some secrets."

"Little slug Huey, the superhuman laboratory is certainly not simple. Remember when we went to the baby's room where compound five was injected? That kid could actually shoot lasers."

Butcher took a small bottle of wine and drank it in big gulps.

"Under normal circumstances, there must be superhumans guarding the laboratory. How can a few ordinary people like us get in? Even if we attack with munitions, we may not be able to return intact."

"So, Butcher, why did you agree to his request? Just for your wife's information, which was not known to be true or false?"

MM was a little angry. Butcher was a fucking troublemaker who always messed things up. This time he rushed into the deal without even knowing the other party's background.

"Shut up, Marvin. I have other plans."

"And don't forget, although we are ordinary people, what about the other person?"

Then, Butcher looked at the woman who was watching TV not far away.

"Shit, no, absolutely not! Butcher, you're trying to put her at risk, the risk of being fucking killed by a parahuman!"

"Relax, Frankie... With your girlfriend's ability, it's actually a very easy thing to get in. Her self-healing is not just for show."

"Besides, she's the backbone of the team. We can't just watch her get into trouble, right? I'll leave this to you."

"You motherless bastard... When are we going to act?"

"Have you checked the address and background?"

"The full name of this laboratory is 'Sage Grove'. It is located on the outskirts of Godolphin University. On the surface, it is an extremely secretive mental hospital affiliated with a global health organization, but in fact it is funded by the Vought Group."

"Oh no, even a fool would know there's a problem."

"Frankie, prepare enough ammunition. We will go and test his strength tomorrow night, and then take him down again."

It's late afternoon.

Jonathan returned to his dormitory early.

Since he was ranked first in the college, the school thoughtfully arranged a dedicated rest dormitory for him.

Since Jonathan's identity "Luke" and Kate were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, Kate moved in last semester after they established their relationship.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Jonathan saw Kate sitting on the bed in a daze, wondering what she was thinking about.

Kate obviously didn't realize her boyfriend was back, and was a little dazed. When she saw Jonathan, she asked:

"Honey, why are you back so late? You didn't even tell me where you were going."

"I went to do some things, which is the matter about the seven-man team I told you about yesterday. If nothing goes wrong, then our recruitment quota has been decided."

"But Honey, is the progress so fast? Isn't it a little too unreal? It's a team of seven..."

"It's okay. I know what I'm doing."

Seeing Jonathan's somewhat dull answer, Kate's pupils shrank, as if she had made up her mind.

She frowned slightly, put her arm around Jonathan's shoulders, and said softly:

"Luke, I don't know why, but I always feel like you're hiding something from me... Can you tell me what it is? We can solve it together."

Jonathan was shocked when he heard this.

Although he had Luke's memories as a blessing, he was actually not adapted to the relationship between the couple. On the contrary, he was a little uncomfortable. This was an error caused by the lack of emotional foundation.

But what’s even more surprising is that Kate’s attention to detail is so strong…

Now, I am caught in a dilemma.

Although Kate is really beautiful and has a good figure, it is very difficult for him to pretend to be deeply in love with her.

At this juncture, Jonathan suddenly thought of a solution.

"Honey, what are you hiding from me?"

Jonathan looked at Kate steadily, with an uncertain tone.

"What do you mean?"

Kate became a little flustered when she saw Jonathan suddenly become serious. She did have many secrets that she had not told Luke. Could this be the reason for his drastic change?

“Let me put it another way. Why do I always meet Sam in my dreams, but I don’t know where he has gone? This scene alone has been repeated in my dream no less than ten times.

"Can you explain this to me?"

"The repetition of a person's memories cannot be a simple dream. You are the only one who can make this happen."

"Tell me! Why did this happen?"

"I vaguely remember that when you interviewed at Godolkin University, you demonstrated this ability of yours to Professor Brinkhoff."

Kate began to tremble unconsciously after hearing this, but she still asked with a hint of luck:

"But dreams are always fragmented. If you keep dreaming about Sam, maybe you are just thinking about him..."

Jonathan remained as he was, looking at Kate quietly without saying anything.

This made Kate a little defensive.

“Luke, I really didn’t mean to do this on purpose…I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hurt you, I was forced.

Or... forget this memory. If you want to truly possess this memory, you will be hurt, and I don't want you to be hurt."

"Are you still stubborn? Do you think it's not outrageous for an ordinary person to control a superpower? Or even use it as a threat to conduct secret underground experiments."

"This...Luke, how do you know?"

"I'm sorry, I have my own channels... and, Kate, do you really know what Shetty is doing?"

"Do...what?"

"She is creating a virus that can cause superhumans to lose their superpowers and die. Not only that, she even wants to work with the CIA to infect and kill all the superhumans in the world."

"If this is true, then not only you and I, but also our friends, will have to die."

"No, it can't be...it's not true!"

Kate grabbed Jonathan's hand in a somewhat collapsed manner and cried out in a crying voice.

"I'm sorry, but if you really don't believe me, let's go to the forest and take a look."

"No, absolutely not. There are many powerful guards there. You can't defeat them all, Luke. Even the lamplighter is in there."

Looking at Kate who was crying, Jonathan felt helpless.

Sheti has already used drugs to PUA her too deeply. If this continues, she will only become the other party's puppet and an accomplice in destroying superhumans.

Although Jonathan is indifferent to the superhumans in this world, he still has to inject Compound No. 5, which means he must ruin Sheti's plan.

"Honestly, Honey. I want to ask you, are you really willing to be controlled by an ordinary person? Or do you like to be a puppet in a daze?"

"..."

Kate, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised her head, and the makeup on her face was mottled with tears.

"I see."

"Luke, I don't want to go on like this... I know I hurt you, and I want to make amends, just... give me some time to digest it, okay?"

Jonathan was a little surprised to hear this.

He originally thought that Kate's feelings for Luke were not that deep, after all, in the original book, she had cheated on him with Heige in advance.

But now... I feel like there's still hope.

"Don't worry, Honey. I'm not stupid enough to break into the lab alone... Don't forget where my channel came from."
