Simultaneous time travel: Am I the only normal person?

Queen Maeve had no idea what Luke thought of her.

She greeted him, her nails leaving light scratches on the wooden tabletop.

The holographic projection behind Luke lit up the "Justice League" logo, and the scarlet glow dyed the entire conference room red - even though no one present understood the true meaning of this text.

Queen Maeve glanced at the empty seat at the end of the long table - that was where Madeleine should have been sitting, the woman who always used perfume to cover up the smell of blood.

But now, not only did Madeline not appear here, but the meeting was also chaired by the company's new director, and it seemed that he was going to interfere in the affairs of the Super Seven.

But the strange thing is that the people of Homeland don't seem to care about it. Instead, they are very respectful to Luke...

Queen Maeve's eyes flickered, with a faint smile on her face, and she glanced at her "teammates" imperceptibly.

The locomotive was fidgeting, looking confused as if it hadn't figured out the situation.

As for Noir and the Invisible Man?

A mute who wears a helmet all day, and a pervert who doesn't even know whether he is at the meeting or not. Queen Maeve doesn't have the X-ray eyes of her homelander, so she can't see the expressions of these two people clearly.

Starlight…she looked so peaceful.

A newcomer who couldn't contain his excitement yesterday, and who might even be the last eyewitness to see the deep sea, is now sitting here safely.

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone except Deep Sea is here. Deep Sea's replacement, Water Company, has not yet been selected."

The Homelander replied.

After all, Deep Sea is a member of the Super Seven. Water Company plans to use its successor to do another public relations exercise to earn some traffic.

Although Vought Corporation is ready to abandon the expired product "Super Seven".

But the money that should be earned still needs to be earned, and it is also to better promote the establishment of the Justice League.

"A candidate from the deep sea..."

Luke thought about it.

He had looked through the list of people with super powers within Water Corporation, and most of them were useless people who were just waiting to die.

The few who are useful also have big personality problems.

But it can be used as a punching bag for the motherland. I think A Zu would be happy to fight with such an extreme human rights activist...

But with this calculation, these so-called superheroes of Vought Corporation are actually a bunch of misfits, and can barely be considered third-rate super villains.

After all, Compound No. 5 is just a product that a pharmaceutical company developed by accident. It was a stroke of luck that it could give birth to a freak like Homelander.

"I'll find it myself."

Luke tapped the table and made up his mind.

For the reorganized Justice League, he had roughly worked out their respective personalities, superpower development, and future "plot direction" last night.

This is not difficult, after all, these people are "pirated goods".

Homelander corresponds to Superman, Queen Maeve corresponds to Wonder Woman, Starlight corresponds to Green Lantern, Locomotive corresponds to Flash, and Black corresponds to Batman...

Of course, if something unexpected happened to someone, Luke wouldn’t be too embarrassed—it wouldn’t be impossible for him to pull out the original version now.

Not to mention that the power of the rat talisman to turn stillness into movement has been upgraded by him to authority.

Even if he created something from scratch, he could still create a 'superhero' that was almost as good as the original.

If Luke had not been concerned that interfering too much would affect the evaluation of the merits of the box garden, he would have killed this group of people and replaced them with his own creations long ago.

However, if it's just one or two people, there's no problem.

Luke glanced at the invisible man.

This guy thought no one could see him, so he was still squatting at the door of the conference room - judging from his appearance, he must have been squatting there for a long time.

The Homelander's thermal gaze melted the corner of the table in a thousandth of a second.

Maeve smelled burnt protein—the Invisible Man's cologne.

Good news, the Invisible Man is here to attend the meeting this time.

Better news, the Invisible Man was nearly shot through by Homelander, his diamond-like skin was refracting red light, and faint gasps could be heard.

Even the Invisible Man's carbon skin could not block this sudden heat ray.

However, Homelander's actions shocked everyone.

After taking drugs yesterday, the still somewhat confused locomotive subconsciously said: "Sir..."

He was just thinking whether he should wait until later to find out about Shen Hai's matter so as to remind himself in the future - since his 'good brother' Shen Hai had set an example for him with his own life, the locomotive would naturally remember this firmly.

However, Homelander's sudden action caused him to react, causing everyone present to look at him.

The locomotive opened his mouth, and like a student answering a question in class, he froze there - Homelander looked at him, and the locomotive was so nervous that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"What's up?"

The Homelander stared at the locomotive.

He considered himself Luke's subordinate because he almost died at Luke's hands - of course, it is also possible that he had already died once.

One death made the people of our motherland fully realize the reality.

Even if Homelander was a giant baby, it was not like Luke had never fought this kind of guy before - the previous giant baby named Wang Bing had been turned into ashes along with his grandfather by Luke using thunder magic.

Of course, the people of our motherland are better than Wang Bing.

He has no parents, so he lacks love even more, and is more easily manipulated, just like now... becoming a grinning 'loyal dog'.

If Luke was offended by a locomotive, he would immediately twist off the locomotive's head as a punishment for saying something wrong.

This guy is almost useless anyway.

Homelander had handled a lot of Vought's dirty work involving Compound 5, and he was well aware of its appeal to idiots like Locomotive.

There are some things that A-Zu is just too lazy to think about, but that doesn’t mean that A-Zu has no brains.

The Supersonics recently signed by Water Company is very good. Not only is he a white man, but the record he submitted recently is almost exceeding the fastest speed of the locomotive.

It probably won’t be long before the fastest man in the world will be replaced.

Thinking of this, the people of our country looked at the locomotive with even more indifference.

The locomotive also noticed the change in Homelander's expression. His reaction was as fast as his own. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, Deep Sea..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

A hand was placed on his shoulder.

The locomotive shuddered.

"Father, don't worry."

Luke's voice followed closely behind.

Homelander put a hand on the engine's shoulder, intending to break its neck, but stopped when he heard Luke's words.

The fastest man in the world...haha, it's just that the Chinese are too lazy to run on the ground.

Otherwise, the so-called world record of the locomotive would have been broken countless times.

"You want to know about the deep sea?"

Before the locomotive could react, his shoulders suddenly sank and he began to sweat profusely.

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the locomotive always feels a burning sensation on my back, as if... the heat rays from my motherland have been targeting me.

The locomotive dared not look back or raise its head.

Big beads of sweat slid down his forehead, his breathing became a little rapid, and his heartbeat was also speeding up - the aftereffects of taking drugs came on, he shouldn't have gone to the Demon Claw Girl last night.

The entire conference room fell into an eerie silence.

Queen Maeve raised an eyebrow.

Is the relationship between the deep sea and the locomotive so good?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that one should not ask this question, but this guy named Locomotive is still trying to seek justice for Deep Sea?

Or maybe Shenhai has some leverage over the locomotive...

"Deep Sea, I killed him."

Luke said this lightly.

The locomotive shook like a sieve, and the high-frequency vibrations shattered the chair in an instant. Spider-web-like fine lines quickly spread on the floor, but I didn't move at all.

With one hand, Homelander firmly held down the locomotive that was trying to escape.

"If you move again, I'll kill you."

The Homelander tilted his head.

He increased the strength in his hands, and after a few crackling sounds, the locomotive fell to its knees, holding its shoulders and wailing.

The sound of bones breaking drowned out the tail end of the wailing.

Homelander lifted the locomotive up by the shoulders; his broken shoulder blade pierced through his armor, casting a bloody shadow like a coral reef on the wall.

Queen Maeve's eyelids twitched.

Fortunately, he is still alive.

"He was not suitable to join the Justice League, so he died." Luke smiled, "Do you think... are you suitable to join the Justice League?"

Bang--

The Homelander kicked the locomotive that was kneeling and wailing on the ground.

"answer the questions."

The locomotive's face was distorted, and he lay on the ground with his body hunched over, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Homelander first glanced at Luke, and found that Luke was still smiling and didn't take it seriously, so he felt relieved.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One kick, two kicks, three kicks...

At first, the locomotive still had the strength to cry out in pain, but after a few seconds it just lay on the ground and couldn't move at all.

If this continues, the locomotive will be kicked to death by the people of our country.

Queen Maeve closed her eyes.

Obviously, these were the first three things a new official would do upon taking office - except that this one happened to burn the locomotive.

When Xuan Se saw this scene, he leaned forward slightly, put his hands on the table, and his whole body was tense, as if he recalled some painful memories.

He remembered that he was a soldier boy and had abused his disobedient teammates in the same way.

And it's even more excessive.

Xingguang hesitated to speak.

It can be seen that she really wanted to say something for the locomotive, but what happened yesterday left some shadows in Xingguang's heart.

She didn't dare to say it.

This is the transformation that every new member who joins the Super Seven will experience.

The same thing happened to Queen Maeve.

"Stop, Homelander."

call out--

One of Homelander's feet stopped in mid-air in response.

He retracted his legs, not paying any attention to the locomotive that was twitching on the ground, and stepped straight over it.

He stood behind Luke again, still like a guard.

More like a dog on a chain.

"I have explained the matter of the deep sea clearly. Do you have any questions?"

"No."

Queen Maeve was the first to respond.

Compared to this bunch of scumbags, she is considered a smart person.

I know the first one to close his eyes, and I know the first one to obey.

After all, we have been living like this for so many years. Instead of worrying about whether the locomotive will be killed by our countrymen, we might as well think about what to do in the future and how to deal with the relationship with the new boss?

The others also woke up as if from a dream, and either nodded or responded.

But Luke didn't seem to care about their answers, and just continued to ask:

"So, do you think... you are suitable to join the Justice League?"

——

Nightfall.

The metal door hinges made a harsh friction sound, and Huey shrank his neck and squeezed into the alley behind the warehouse.

The moonlight cast spider-web-like shadows on the rusty fire escape. Billy was leaning against the wall smoking, the red glow of his cigarette flickering in the darkness.

"Successful?"

Billy blew out a smoke ring and glanced at Huey's white knuckles.

Huey nodded mechanically, his right hand still holding the phone.

Hours earlier, he had stood in the conference room of the Super Seven Tower, watching the muscles beneath the blue tights of the locomotive ripple with his hypocritical apologies.

"See? They've already forgiven you."

Billy took out his cell phone, and the picture on the screen showed Hughie's ID photo enlarged to the point where the pixels were blurred.

But the four big words "Water News" on it were particularly clear.

Yes, Vought and the locomotive... have forgiven themselves.

Huey's Adam's apple slid, and a bitter taste of bile rose in his throat.

These damn bastards!

Huey wanted to curse out loud.

However, his girlfriend's warm blood seemed to remind him.

If he ever tries to go against Water Company, he will be smashed to pieces by a locomotive just like his girlfriend!

Of course, there could be other ways of dying...

After all, the locomotive was too lazy to bother with a small figure like him.

This isn't supposed to be the case.

A few days ago, he still had a beautiful girlfriend, but just when his girlfriend started an argument with him and just stepped over the curb, his girlfriend became girlfriend-like.

He held his girlfriend's hands, which were still warm, his face stained with her blood, and stared blankly at the locomotive with a satchel on its back not far away.

The locomotive took off his goggles in panic, explained a few incoherent words, and then disappeared at the end of the street at lightning speed.

A man was hit and killed by a train! His beloved girlfriend was hit and killed!

As compensation, all they received was a few brief apologies and tens of thousands of dollars!

Not only that, he even claimed that he was chasing a bank robber at the time and the tragedy happened because his girlfriend happened to walk into the middle of the road!

"They've all signed a letter of understanding, including your girlfriend's parents." Billy's voice was like an ice pick piercing his temple, "But don't worry, the plan is going smoothly, and we'll be able to get justice for you soon..."

Billy is an FBI agent.

It was also because of him that Hughie made up his mind to plant a bug to avenge his girlfriend.

He accepted the compensation conditions on the surface, but asked the locomotive to apologize in person.

In order to avoid leaks, the Vought Group will definitely choose the Super Seven's conference room to solve the problem, and then Hughie can take the opportunity to place a bug.

But can an ordinary agent really catch those superheroes?

Huey didn't know and didn't understand.

But he knew that this was his only chance - the only chance to avenge his girlfriend.

"Can I... follow you?"

Huey raised his head and looked at Billy.

But Billy shook his head without hesitation.

"Sorry, this involves confidential information. The Investigation Bureau only entrusted me to carry out the operation alone. If I bring you with me, it will be easy to be exposed..." (End of this chapter)
