Chapter 69 - Chapter 69 A Strange Place

With her X-ray vision, Linda found Luke in the conference room at a glance, walked to the door, and kicked it open without hesitation.

Bang!

The iron door was like paper, folded at 90 degrees, and flew backwards in a weird posture, making a big hole in the wall. In an instant, the air became extremely quiet. Everyone looked at the twisted iron door in shock, and then looked at the angry girl. Their throats moved unconsciously, and they fell into endless shock.

He kicked the door like this! ! ! !

Who is she?

Mike Sen from the technical department recognized Linda's identity and whispered,

"It was her. She came to apply for the job that day."

Barry Allen nodded and stared at the girl, his body tense. If she tried to hurt someone, he would stop her even if it meant exposing his identity.

Today is his tenth day at work. It's not a long day, but it's enough for him to fall in love with this place. ShowMe is different from other companies. It's free and unconstrained, and it takes into account both creativity and life. The people here have different personalities, and they are all geniuses. They don't care whether you stutter or are good at socializing. As long as you prove your ability, you will be recognized.

Barry liked the atmosphere.

Linda Danvers didn't care about what others thought, her eyes were only on Luke Xiao.

"Let them go out. I have something to ask you."

Luke deadpanned, "Wait outside until I finish my meeting."

Linda narrowed her eyes and was about to take action, when suddenly, an inexplicable fear spread deep in her soul. She frowned, very puzzled. At the same time, a hidden gaze came from the corner.

A young man about twenty years old was sitting in the corner, staring at her with eyes flashing with red electric light. The red electric light jumped back and forth, giving people an indescribable weird feeling.

Parahuman? Or something else?

Linda was confused about the situation, remained silent for a few seconds, and then turned and left.

call!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. The girl gave people such an oppressive feeling, as if they were facing a prehistoric beast.

After she made such a fuss, we won't be able to continue running the business.

Luke made a brief work arrangement and returned to his office, where Linda Danvers was waiting.

"What happened that night?"

"Didn't your friend tell you?"

Luke poured a glass of cold water and observed her demeanor while talking. He wanted to find out how much memory she retained and then take appropriate measures.

A look of confusion flashed across Linda's eyes, and then she became determined.

"Lisa said I jumped into the sea and was rescued by you... I don't think it's that simple."

"You must have done something to me."

"I should be the one asking you this."

"What's the meaning?"

Luke patiently coaxed, "You really don't remember what you did that night. Think about it carefully, and you'll definitely remember."

The girl was silent for a long time before she hesitated and said, "I felt like I was burned by fire, electrocuted, and the water was very cold. There was also someone talking in my ear and asking a lot of questions. Oh, and the cannonball, now I remember, someone shot a cannon at my head."

"Is that person you?!"

Luke started coughing violently, waving his hands vigorously while coughing.

"I really admire your imagination. Even if you were drunk, you wouldn't have such a dream!"

Dream!

Linda raised her eyebrows and looked confused, which combined with her pretty face gave her a cute and silly vibe.

Through this conversation, Luke had a general understanding of the girl's condition. She had severe memory loss and didn't even remember the bet.

Thinking of this, his face became serious.

"That night you got very drunk, and then you started to act crazy, wreaking havoc everywhere, and you said some incomprehensible words, about Krypton, the El family, Zor-El..."

"I'm curious.

What is Krypton, what is the House of El, and Zor-El, is he your father?"

Linda's face changed drastically. She had forgotten many things, but she had not forgotten her origin. That was her biggest secret, how could outsiders know it.

Damn it!

Am I really drunk?

Luke pressed on, not giving her time to think.

"Miss Danvers, won't you explain?"

"I…I don't know what you're talking about. I never said those words."

"Yeah?"

Luke sneered and continued,

"Then do you remember why you came to Metropolis?"

metropolis!

By the way, why did I come to the Met?

Linda frowned and gradually became irritated, grabbing her head with both hands and shaking it back and forth.

Why the Metropolitan? Why did I drop out of school? Why can't I remember? Why is all this happening?

And my head, why does it feel dizzy?

The girl pounded her head hard, and her palms touched her skull, sending out shock waves one after another. The ripples spread out in all directions, and the ground began to shake.

Luke swallowed and took a few steps back unnoticed.

The female Tyrannosaurus's mental state is very abnormal. If things go wrong, she may turn into a mad woman, a crazed Kryptonian, who is equivalent to a human nuclear bomb that can explode at any time.

At this moment, Linda suddenly raised her head, with crimson beams condensing in her eyes. "Tell me, why did I come to Metropolis?"

Luke swallowed and said quickly,

"I remember you seemed to be looking for some cousin."

Cousin!

Fragments of the image emerged, and I remembered, Kal-El! The purpose of coming to Metropolis was Kal-El, but why was he looking for Kal-El?

"Why Kal-El?"

Luke's eyes looked a little strange. He wondered if he had burned himself out and didn't remember such an important thing. Thinking of this, he said slowly,

"I don't know who Kal-El you're talking about. You didn't mention his name."

"Kal-El is my cousin, he...he..."

Before he could finish his words, he was lost in memories again.

Luke didn't bother her. His mind was working rapidly. After weighing the pros and cons, he decisively gave up the idea of ​​recruiting her as a thug. The girl's mental state was too unstable. She was no different from a mental patient. A mentally ill person would not reason with you.

After thinking for a while, Linda asked again,

"What else did I say besides my cousin."

Luke pretended to be helpless and said, "Ms. Danvers, you are in a very bad condition. I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor will help you recover your memory."

"I don't want to go to the hospital."

Linda waved her hands irritably. At this moment, the door opened and Melissa walked in.

"Linda, are you okay?"

Seeing her friend, the girl's frenzied mood calmed down and she asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

"It's not you yet."

"Charlie just called me and said you kicked the door of the conference room down."

Melissa covered her forehead, looking helpless, and turned to apologize to Luke.

"I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble."

"It doesn't matter!"

Luke smiled nonchalantly, a strange look flashing in his eyes. "There might be something wrong with your friend's brain. I suggest you take her to the hospital."

Melissa smiled awkwardly and dragged her friend away.

Not long after they left, Luke picked up his phone and called Charlie.

"Come to my office. I have something to talk to you about."
