Chapter 32 I Think We All Need to Calm Down Starlight is so trustworthy? This was Levi's first reaction. After all, I am the guardian of New Jersey. How can I revolve around you all day? But before he could say anything, Xingguang continued to shout: "He is your child?" Huh? Levi was a little confused. He had to admit that Xingguang was a bit imaginative. But on the surface he pretended to be in a panic, as if he had just noticed the other person, and quickly turned off the phone screen. "What? No, I'm not even 20 yet, how could I have a child already?" When Levi turned around, he saw Xingguang, who was also wearing casual clothes, a mask and big sunglasses, staring at him with a very strange look, as if she was being cuckolded. Well, actually she was indeed cheated on, but that had nothing to do with these photos, it was simply because she lacked femininity. Levi always firmly believed that bigger is better.
Of course, female behemoths were not within the scope of his discussion. Come to think of it, it’s been more than ten hours since the gathering of heroes, and Lan Ying didn’t even call to curse at anyone. Could it be that he has come to like the feeling of driving a tank? "I need an explanation." Xingguang's tone was obviously a little unhappy. Levi gritted his teeth and quickly glanced around. He didn't see anyone special. He grabbed Xingguang's hand and said, "Let's go to another place. This matter must not be discovered by Walter!" Hmm? As soon as this special word appeared, it instantly diverted most of Xingguang's attention. She was not stupid, and she began to realize that she seemed to have done something wrong, so she did not shake off Levi's hand. After running for more than ten miles, Levi finally found a suitable place. He didn't waste any words, but said directly: "I have been investigating a major incident related to the origin of all superheroes in Vought. For your safety, I didn't let you participate before, but now that you have been discovered, I won't hide it from you." "But I need to confirm with you again, do you really want to listen?" "This is likely to overturn your outlook on life and the world, and make you and your mother lose your current life." This was the first time Xingguang saw Levi being so serious, which made her realize once again the seriousness of the problem. "Is it even more subversive than the true identities of Deep Sea and Invisible Man?" Levi said without hesitation: "Yes, more than a hundred times theirs!" Water Company’s trump card has never been these superheroes, but Compound No. 5! Xingguang continued very seriously: "Is it the right thing to do?" Levi couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Naive, really too naive. In the entire black robe world, there are only a few people who can truly be called heroes, or who have the hope of becoming true heroes. The starlight in front of her is one of them. Even though she has seen a lot after becoming one of the Seven, her heart is still full of fantasies about heroes. Queen Maeve of the Seven can be considered half, and the Lamplighter and the Engine, who later reformed themselves, can barely be considered half as well. After that, basically nothing. In Levi's opinion, the superheroes in the black robe world and the gods in Greek mythology have quite a few similarities.
Both of them possess relatively powerful strength, so they can indulge their desires without scruples and practice hedonism. Good and evil, ethics, etc. are mostly not worth mentioning in front of them. It’s just that some superheroes may be hiding deeper, and some may not be able to realize their dreams, so they don’t cause too many casualties or damage, but this doesn’t mean that they are really good people. Such an innocent starlight might be suitable to go to DC, where there are real heroes. But with her ability and brain, if she really went there, she would probably be fooled by those super villains within three days, or even turned into a villain. But he was too lazy to talk so much to Xingguang, he was not her babysitter. "Whether it is right or wrong, or good or evil, it often depends on the camp you are in, but at least in my opinion, this is the right thing to do." Xingguang nodded resolutely: "Okay, then tell me!" Since Xingguang was determined to do so, Levi did not try to persuade her further. In case Xingguang did not understand or misunderstood, he described the whole story to her in the most concise and direct words. Similarly, the photos in the mobile phone were also shared with her. Of course, he chose to be brief or simply ignore less important aspects such as his murder and Kimiko living in his house, as that was not the point anyway. Even though he had tried his best to prepare himself mentally in advance, after hearing all this, Xingguang's eyes were still wide open. His heart was in turmoil for a moment, and he felt as if the whole world was beginning to collapse. Her superpowers did not come from God's gift as her mother said, but from Water Company's Compound No. 5. She was not the chosen one at all! Besides this lie, how many other lies did her mother tell her? After taking a deep breath, Xingguang stuttered, "I, I think I need to calm down for a while." Levi nodded and said, "Yeah, I think we all need to calm down." Xingguang immediately realized that Levi's tone was wrong. He was probably really angry this time. She quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Levi, I shouldn't have followed you and doubted you, I will..." Before she could finish, Levi had already reached out to stop her: "No, Annie, I'm serious, you also have to think carefully about your future path." "Compound No. 5 involves Walter's roots. If you continue to investigate further, it will be extremely dangerous. You have to consider your mother." Just kidding, it's fine if you just play around, but you also learned to track? What can you do after that? Well, come to think of it, he never seemed to have officially confessed his feelings to her, so this couldn't even be considered a breakup, right? Xingguang suddenly became more and more distraught, but she knew very well that once Levi made the decision, there was no room for maneuver. She could only nod with great difficulty and apologize again: "Sorry, Levi, I understand, I will try my best to show you." Levi nodded slightly: "Be careful, you must remember that you are not just one person, and Walter's dark methods are beyond your imagination." With her mother's life at stake, she won't mess around. Even if she really wants to take action, she will most likely come to find me. I hope that by then she can learn how to be a good tool! Xingguang was immediately delighted. Levi still cared about her safety. She still had hope! She nodded quickly: "Same to you!" After returning home, Firecrackers came to greet her first and said that she had prepared dinner, which was dumplings today. It has to be said that Firecracker might be weak in super powers, and her intelligence is just at the normal human level, but she has one thing that Levi values very much, and that is her willingness to work hard to improve herself! After learning that Levi was of Chinese descent and was not used to eating hamburgers, she quickly began to learn how to cook Chinese food. Although so far she could only make simple buns, dumplings or fried dough sticks, this was far beyond Levi's expectations.
After a brief moment of intimacy, when he saw that Levi seemed to have something to talk to Kimiko about alone, Firecracker tactfully found an excuse to leave. She didn't feel jealous at all. After all, she was not Levi's girlfriend at all. They were just living together. What's more, she feels that she has a huge advantage over Kimiko, who can't speak and has a rather skinny body! Seeing that she was so tactful, Levi was very satisfied. Firecracker was indeed a very qualified nanny. He prefers the self-awareness of firecrackers. He can accept a little stupidity and weakness, but what he can't tolerate is the kind of idiot who thinks he is smart but always messes things up. Moreover, firecrackers are very open when it comes to matters between men and women, he can really just stand up and kick! Without wasting time, Levi quickly and selectively told Kimiko the relevant information. I promised to help her find her brother before, and now I have made some progress, so that she won't suspect that I am fooling her. Although she can't speak, Kimiko is not a fool. There was no need to tell her about Compound No. 5 because she already knew about it. Before she was captured and experimented on, she was just a fairly good assassin. It was only after the experiment that she gained these super powers. After listening to it, Kimiko was quite grateful. In addition to saying thank you, she also took the initiative to type on her mobile phone to tell Levi that if he needed her, he could just let her know. After learning from Firecracker for a few days, she has become very proficient in using mobile phones, computers, etc., and she especially likes the mobile phone because it can speak instead of her mouth. Levi chuckled: "We are already friends. It is natural to do something for friends, isn't it?" As Kimiko nodded very seriously, Levi felt happy. No matter what Kimiko thinks in her heart, the system sees this as her consent. Now all the two sides need to do is to have a closer contact, and they can copy Kimiko's superpower - super-speed self-healing! If he could get this ability, combined with the bone blade of the Demon Claw Girl, Levi would have a chance to COS Wolverine. However, unless necessary, Levi still does not want to use these two superpowers, especially the former. He had done many experiments before, and when activating the bone blade, his muscles and skin would not automatically make way for the bone blade. This meant that every time the bone blade popped out, he needed to cut his arm from the inside first! Unfortunately, since he had copied Starlight's super strong defense, even the inside was quite tough, and it was impossible for a mere bone blade to break it in one breath. This meant that every time he used the bone blade, he had to go through a very uncomfortable and painful period before he could successfully make it appear under the sun, which made him quite speechless. The improvement it brings to combat effectiveness is nothing compared to the pain it brings to Levi. Unless Levi learns from Marvel's Wolverine and replaces his claws with metal ones and installs special slots to make it easier for the claws to pop out, it might be able to have some effect. But with the system, Levi has many ways to become stronger, so there is no need for him to suffer this. Unless one day his strength reaches a point where there is no further improvement, perhaps he will consider this aspect. Just to achieve super-speed self-healing, he and Kimiko would need to be in close contact for more than two hours. As Kimiko is relatively shy and has definitely never had a boyfriend, she would probably have some strong resistance and would need a simpler trick. Given the current relationship between the two of them, even if I drank too much at night and accidentally entered her bedroom, I shouldn't be killed by her, right? While thinking, Li Wei reassured Kimiko not to be anxious. Now he has found the key clue. As long as he follows the clues, he will find her brother sooner or later! (End of this chapter)
