A hotel apartment somewhere in the metropolis.
After seeing the doctor in the afternoon, Linda has been in a bad state. She feels dizzy and wants to sleep as soon as she gets into bed.
She didn't know what was wrong with her body. As a Kryptonian, it was impossible for her to get sick in such a sunny environment, but she got sick, and it was very serious.
"Sleep if you want to, don't force yourself."
Linda nodded, glanced at her friend's designer clothes, and smiled, "He asked you out again?"
Melissa covered herself with the sheets and said softly,
"Don't worry, sweetheart, I will be back at night and will never leave you alone."
"screw you."
Linda glared at her angrily, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep soon after.
Melissa pushed her a few times, but there was no response, so she turned and left the bedroom.
The moment she closed the door, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, revealing impatience and annoyance. She knew that her mentality was not right, so she took a deep breath and adjusted her mentality while fixing her makeup.
By the time she got into the taxi, she had become a young girl with a beautiful smile.
At the same time, in the bedroom on the fifth floor, Linda, who was sleeping, heard a strange sound.
Footsteps?
wrong!
Not Linda's.
Her powerful senses woke her up instantly, and she looked coldly at the uninvited thief.
"Luke Xiao?"
"Yes, that's me."
Luke nodded slightly. "Hello again, Miss Danvers."
"What are you doing here?"
"Save your life."
Linda curled her lips in disdain and said, "I don't need you to save my life. Leave now, or don't blame me for being rude."
Luke took out the documents and threw them on the bed.
"After you read this document, you can decide whether to kick me out or not."
…
The traffic situation in the metropolis has always been not very good, especially during the evening rush hour, when long queues form on the road and it seems almost impossible to see the end at a glance.
In order not to miss the agreed time.
Melissa had no choice but to follow the driver's advice and take a detour.
The taxi circled the alleys of the city and unknowingly arrived at the suburbs. Seeing the buildings on both sides becoming more and more dilapidated, Melissa frowned and said unhappily,
"Master, have we taken the wrong path?"
"Yes, it's right here. Just go around the factory building in front and you'll see the bridge. The cinema is across the river. It'll be there in ten minutes."
Melissa had her doubts in her heart, but she didn't say anything else. She was not familiar with the road conditions in the metropolis.
A few minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of an abandoned factory building. The driver took off his hat, revealing an Asian face.
"Beauty, we're here, get off the car."
Melissa frowned and was about to speak when a Browning pistol was thrust through the car window and pressed against her temple.
"Don't move, get out of the car slowly. My gun is defective and could easily go off accidentally. I don't want to hurt you. It's a pity to lose such a pretty face."
I was actually robbed!
Melissa was speechless. She raised her hands, got out of the car and walked into the factory as instructed.
The factory building was very dilapidated, the floor was covered with dust, and it was unknown how many years it had been abandoned.
The driver turned on the seat light and rubbed his chin while looking up and down at Melissa's body, especially her breasts and buttocks, as if he wanted to stuff his eyes into them.
"Boss, this girl has a nice body, do you want to have sex?"
"What do you think?"
The two looked at each other and laughed strangely.
The laughter echoed in the factory, giving people goose bumps. Melissa couldn't stand it. She didn't want to waste time here. She opened her eyes, her pupils contracted, and a barely perceptible halo appeared. The whites of her eyes turned as black as ink, which was very strange.
The invisible spiritual power spread out in all directions, and the armed robber suddenly froze.
His eyes were scattered and dull, without focus, empty and confused.
Something is wrong, the driver shouted.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"Boss…Boss…"
After shouting several times without receiving any response, the driver panicked and screamed in fear.
"You...you...smelly bitch, what did you do to the boss? Let him go now."
Melissa gritted her teeth, her sweaty face showing endless resentment, and her red lips parted slightly.
"Kill him!"
Bang!
A white light spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, and a piece of white cloth rushed out. The big words "FUCK YOU!" on the cloth were particularly eye-catching.
Melissa was stunned immediately.
What's going on?
Isn't this a robbery? Why is it a toy gun?
Bang bang bang!
A series of applause came from outside, and Luke and Charlie, with a gloomy face, walked in.
"Kakien, no, Agent Jeffrey, it was a fantastic performance, the highlight of the year."
Melissa's pupils contracted, and she said in disbelief, "Luke Xiao? Charlie? You… No, these two robbers were sent by you."
"Who else will set the stage for you except us?"
Luke walked up to Liancheng and patted him on the shoulder. Green flames seeped into his body, and he suddenly woke up. He said in horror,
"Master, there's something wrong with this woman."
Luke nodded, took out a bank card and put it in his hand.
"Brother Lian, Brother Zhao, thank you for your hard work tonight. Find a place to have some fun and forget what this woman looks like."
"Don't worry, Master. The brothers know the rules."
After saying that, he glanced at Melissa and left with his companions.
After they left, there were only three people left in the factory. Luke lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
"Miss Jeffrey, do you want to just do it or talk first?"
Melissa lowered her head and said nothing. Judging from what had just happened, Luke Xiao was either a person with psychic powers or a wizard proficient in soul magic.
His ability was very likely to restrain himself. Thinking of this, he raised his right arm and his thumb brushed across the crystal diamond ring on his middle finger. Under the crystal was an emergency rescue device. As long as he pressed it, the FBI would receive his distress signal.
The rescue team will arrive in five minutes at most.
Luke shook his head in disappointment. "It seems Miss Jeffrey is not in the mood to talk. In that case, I'm sorry."
"Charlie, kill her."
"Wait a moment."
Melissa forced a smile and said, "Since you're here, you have to give me a chance."
"Okay! I'll give you a chance. Tell me about the relationship between you and Linda Danvers."
Melissa rolled her eyes and said in a puzzled tone,
"Mr. Xiao, I don't understand what you are saying. Linda and I are friends, we have no other relationship."
Luke blew out a puff of smoke. "I know a lot about you and the Kryptonian girl. I called you here today mainly to verify the accuracy of the information. Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
"Charlie..."
"etc!"
Melissa put away her smile and said with an ugly face, "Luke Xiao, what do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
"Answer my questions and I'll turn you into a vegetable. If you don't answer, you'll die."
Melissa took a deep breath and gritted her teeth.
"What do you want to know?"
"When did the FBI learn of Linda Danvers's existence?"
"An orphanage."
"That is to say, it was you who arranged for the Danvers couple."
Melissa remained silent. Luke smiled and continued,
"Since she has adoptive parents, why would they send you to her?"
"The Danvers had a bad relationship with her. Linda didn't like Earthlings."
"So the FBI sent you, who possesses psychic abilities, to be her classmate, subtly influencing her and ultimately controlling her."
Melissa chose to remain silent, neither admitting nor denying.
Luke didn't force it and continued, "Let's talk about the SAT. You took the test five times. The highest score in the first four was only 1810, but the fifth time you got 2180, an increase of 370 points. It must be the FBI's masterpiece, right?
And the dorms are assigned to freshmen. Without their interference, how could you and Linda be assigned to the same dorm?"
Melissa frowned and said, "Mr. Xiao, I don't understand why you care so much about Linda Danvers?"
"Because she's beautiful. Not to mention her face, you can't find one like her among a hundred thousand people. The key is her figure. From childhood to adulthood, I've never seen such a perky butt."
boom!
The sound of a building collapsing could be heard in the distance.
Luke touched his nose awkwardly and coughed.
"We've gotten off topic. Let's get down to business.
Miss Jeffrey, you've been Linda's [superficial best friend] for five years. Don't you feel any guilt deep down in your heart?
And your superpowers have strong side effects. They can make people forget things they shouldn't forget, and they can also affect their mental state. Have you ever thought about how you've been hurting her all these years? "
Melissa stared at Luke. "Linda asked you to come, didn't she?"
Luke pointed at Charlie.
"This idiot made me come."
Charlie: "…"
Melissa had no place for "ex-boyfriend" in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and roared,
"Where is Linda? I want to see her."
"I advise you to give up this idea. The power you exerted on her has been lifted by me. Linda Danvers is dead, and she has been replaced by Kara Zor-El, the female superhero from Krypton. If you meet her now, you will probably be beaten into a pulp with one punch."
"Liar, you are lying, I don't want to hear anything you say."
Melissa shouted to the sky, "Linda, I know you can hear me. Believe me, I don't mean to hurt you. My identity may have caused you to misunderstand, but it was unavoidable. I have always stood by you and never betrayed you. You are my friend, my only friend."
"Come out, please. Even if you want to kill me, please see me one last time."
"Linda, I can't live without you."
Luke glanced at Charlie with a strange expression, the mockery in his eyes almost became tangible. The latter's face turned red, his right fist clenched, and he cursed hatefully: Damn homosexual!
Melissa cried and shouted for a long time, but got no response.
"Miss Jeffrey, stop acting, it's useless.
I have every email you sent to your boss, detailing your plan of action and the betrayal process. Do you think she will still believe you after reading it?"
"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. I've placed a signal jammer on the second floor of the factory, the kind with the highest power. I've intercepted the distress signal you sent to the FBI. Even if you wear out your ring, no one will know you're here."
After saying this, he signaled to Charlie, who drew his pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three consecutive shots, one in the head, one in the heart, and one in the abdomen.
Melissa fell to the ground with her head tilted back. Before she died, a look of resentment remained on her face.
Charlie stayed to deal with the scene, and Luke turned and left.
Not long after walking, I saw the Kryptonian girl on the beach.
"I thought you were going to stop me."
Linda said nothing, staring blankly at the sea.
"Would you like a drink?"
After a long silence, Luke shrugged helplessly. When he was about to leave, he heard a voice in his ears:
"Your treat."
"no problem."
