Chapter 18: The feud with the lamplighter? Jonathan shows up!

evening.

A van slowly drove into a secluded wooded area and stopped behind an old tree.

"Click."

The right door slid open, and four men and one woman walked out of the car. Except for the woman, the other four men all had guns in their hands.

"Huey, use the pistol. You haven't practiced with it before, and you may not be able to withstand the recoil of the rifle."

Frankie looked at the rifle that was nearly half a meter high, then looked at Hughie's thin figure, and chose to hand him a pistol he was carrying.

"Um... okay, then Kimiko doesn't need to use a gun?"

"Do you think she needs it?"

MM rolled her eyes at Hughie.

"Follow up."

The group sneaked through the woods and soon arrived at the outskirts of the "Sage's Grove".

Looking closely, I saw that the entire laboratory was surrounded by a high-voltage power grid, and the only entrance and exit was guarded by fully armed guards. I wonder if it was guarded by superhuman guards...

"It seems that the dead rat has caused us a huge trouble..."

Butcher's face turned a little dark. He didn't expect that the conditions Jonathan offered would be so harsh. Wanting them to destroy this place was no different from asking them to die.

"Frankie, is there any solution?"

“Of course, I also brought my tool box, which contained insulated gloves and liquid pliers.”

So, MM was in charge of guarding, Butcher was on guard, and French cut a big hole in the electric fence. Then, the three of them put on the cleaning uniforms prepared in advance and entered the laboratory through the back door.

As soon as they entered the door, a central device exhibition that could only be seen in hospitals appeared in front of everyone. Fortunately, Marvin had medical experience and was familiar with the equipment in the hospital, so it was not difficult to unlock such a device.

But... before unlocking the door, we must eliminate the current danger.

What is behind the heavy door is unknown. Once it is opened, there is no turning back. If an accident occurs, the whole team may be wiped out at any time, which is not worth the loss.

So, for safety, MM leaned her head against the heavy door and tried to listen to what was happening behind her.

There are many media for sound to propagate, and objects are the fastest medium for sound propagation.

Sure enough, there were frequent footsteps in the corridor behind the heavy door.

If his guess was correct, there must be guards patrolling behind the door. As soon as he opened the door, the team would immediately meet them.

At that time, a gunfight is inevitable, and it is possible that it will even alarm more guards and surround and approach this side.

"Butcher, there are about five or six guards in the back. Can you handle them?"

"Let them feel Daddy's passion... Huey, you hide at the back. Kimiko, clear the way ahead. Frankie and I will provide cover fire."

Butcher loaded his rifle and pointed it at the heavy door while issuing orders to the team.

After MM nodded in agreement, MM used her old experience and tricked the door of the central control room open with a single operation.

The heavy door rose, and while the guards on the opposite side were still in a daze, several people began to attack.

Kimiko leaned down slightly, and rushed out in a "hunting" posture, and her agility like a wolf was exchanged in the counterattack of the guards.

As blood spurted, the fingers pierced through the neck, and then twisted it violently with great force, breaking the limbs...

"Ahhh!"

The shouts of counterattack, mixed with countless yellow bullets pouring out, burst into blood flowers on Kimiko's body.

The impact of these bullets did not cause much hindrance to Kimiko. Her self-healing ability could expel the bullets and repair the wounds in a blink of an eye.

Kimiko recalled every bloody night she had spent in the terrorist organization. The pain was worse than that of bullets and was heart-wrenching.

This unspeakable pain can only be released in every killing.

The final battle ended with Butcher finishing off the opponent and Kimiko getting a headshot.

"These bitches should be guarding something in this room. Let's go in and take a look."

MM wiped the blood off her face and opened the door of the room first.

In the room, more than ten monitors are installed on a white wall, and each monitor displays a corresponding ward.

And in these wards, the patients are clearly different from ordinary people.

Some floated in the air, some changed their shapes, some vomited acid, and some even...

"Wo De Shet, he actually used that prop as a skipping rope?"

MM stared at the screen in disbelief, feeling that all her three perspectives had been greatly impacted.

"So... this place is not just a laboratory, but also a hell on earth where a large number of superhumans are imprisoned for experiments?"

French analyzed.

"What on earth are these crazy people researching?"

Hughie's girlfriend Starlight is also a superhuman, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if Annie was imprisoned here.

"Hey! Butcher, when is that mysterious bitch coming over? Look at these superhumans on the screen. We can't deal with each one of them easily."

"Then I want to ask you, what kind of damn alien species is capable of guarding these superhumans!"

"Butcher, you always do things as you please. You will kill us all!"

"Don't worry, man. I made a phone call before I left, and Sewer Rat said he would come over soon... Godolphin University is not far from here, and we will be able to see his true face soon."

Butcher shrugged and pointed to a display on the wall.

"It seems like there's a terrible bitch heading our way."

After hearing Butcher's words, everyone turned their attention to the big screen.

It was a middle-aged man with blond hair and a flat head wearing a nursing uniform, who was rushing towards them with a lighter in his hand.

"Who is this?"

"Why does it look familiar?"

Not knowing who the visitor is, everyone can only plan to keep moving forward and see if they can find a chance to sneak deeper inside while waiting for the mysterious man to arrive.

As the footsteps got closer, another door was reopened.

The blond man with a flat head walked to the middle of the corridor and saw the five guards lying dead with blood all over the ground.

"Damn it, there's an intruder!"

The situation was critical, so the man took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

At this time, Butcher and his team had arrived at a core area relatively deep inside. This area was surrounded by locked iron gates, behind which were imprisoned extremely dangerous superhuman criminals.

"Butcher, this is a dead end. We need to find another entrance."

"Damn it, MM, why are you misleading me..."

Just as everyone was about to turn around and retreat, a man holding a lighter appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"You shouldn't have come in here."

After saying that, the man lit the lighter, then reached out his other hand into the air, and the flame in the lighter magnified as if being controlled, and finally turned into a hot ball of fire, which was firmly grasped in the palm of the man's hand.

"Who are you... If you tell the truth, I can consider giving you a whole body."

"You are... the fucking lamplighter?"

PS: Lamplighter, a retired member of the former Seven, founder of the Crime Fighting Academy, has the ability to control existing flames. His classic image is a man wearing a green hooded robe and holding a torch.

Seeing the familiar flame, Frankie's eyes instantly became bloodshot, veins popped out on his face, and he wanted to rush up and fight with the gun in his hand.

However, due to the obstruction of Butcher and MM, Frankie could not take a step forward.

"Fuck, you damn cowards! He killed Mallory's grandson!"

Frankie was furious and struggled.

"You are an inhuman bastard!"

"You are... the person who followed me back then?"

The lamplighter's heart skipped a beat, but he remained serious on the surface.

"These things have happened many years ago, it's time to bury them in the ground."

Back then, Lamplighter, as a member of the Super Seven, was coerced by Mallory to spy on the Vought Group.

But he was unwilling to be controlled by others, and developed a rebellious and vengeful mentality. He sneaked into Mallory's house in the dark and burned Mallory's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, the person lying on the bed in the bedroom was not Mallory, but a few children who were waiting for their grandmother to come back and tell them stories.

The lamplighter at that time felt deeply guilty for this, so he faded out of the public eye and was arranged here by the Water Group to be responsible for destroying evidence.

However, he was unaware of the big event that Godokin University President Shetty was secretly planning.

"Do you want to forget this? You'll never get over this in your life, you scum!"

Frankie continued to yell.

However, the lamplighter was not in a good mood either, and he retorted in a louder voice:

"Did you stop me then? You followed me but didn't stop me. You are also a damned sinner. You are just like me and you have no right to criticize me!"

Hearing this, Frankie's angry face suddenly froze, and then he fell silent.

Eight years ago, he and his best friends Shirley and Jay were three criminals who were roaming around in society and getting into trouble a lot.

Five years ago, the three were arrested. In order to prevent his buddies from being sent to prison, Frankie accepted Mallory's recruitment and joined the secret team to fight against superhumans with his own skills and abilities.

After Mallory threatened the lamplighter, he was ordered to follow him to prevent any accidents.

That night, Frankie followed the lamplighter to the outside of the nightclub, but at this time he received a call from Shirley, saying that his best friend Jay was in critical condition due to an overdose of flour and needed urgent treatment.

On one side is the mission, and on the other side is friendship. Frankie thought the lamplighter would stay in the nightclub, so he ventured back to his residence to rescue Jay.

But in just half an hour, the lamplighter slipped out the back door and took revenge on Mallory.

Ironically, Jay overdosed again a few months later and ultimately died.

Therefore, the lamplighter's rebuttal was not only correct, but even made Frank feel so guilty that he was speechless.

"Haha, am I right?"

"Since you don't want to tell me, don't blame me..."

As he said this, the lamplighter was about to throw the fireball in his hand.

At this critical moment, a slender hand suddenly appeared on the lamplighter's neck.

"Put down your fireball, will you?"

For some reason, the lamplighter felt his body suddenly become paralyzed, and his limbs actually followed the instructions given by the voice.

In my ear, there was a gentle and seductive female voice.

"Everyone, am I not late?"

As the woman dodged, a man with black hair, black eyes and tight clothes appeared in the sight of the black robe group.
