Kevin’s reasoning was flawless, and Starlight couldn’t refute it.
She looked at the few people Kevin had killed with water arrows, as well as the man she had killed with her light beam, whose chest was covered in black soot, and hesitantly said.
“That might be true, but these…” Starlight wanted to say that their killing methods had already exposed their identities, and trying to hide their superhero nature seemed a bit too late now.
“It doesn’t matter.” Kevin picked up a dirty rag, then used it to pick up the firearm dropped near the corpses, and fired a burst of shots into the throats of the few men who had been pierced by the water arrows.
Starlight understood Kevin’s intentions, but she couldn’t bear the sight, so she pointed inside the warehouse and said.
“I…
I am going inside to investigate, you carry on…” As she spoke, she muttered quietly.
“God, why does it feel like we are the criminals…” “We are criminals right now, young miss.” Kevin replied, and Starlight, not expecting Kevin to hear her quiet words, subconsciously shrank her neck and went inside without another word.
Kevin inspected the “crime scene,” looking at the corpse with the burn marks left by Starlight, and felt a bit of concern.
But soon, Kevin discovered something good.
“No, why do these guys even have grenades?” Kevin, finding grenades on these men, was deeply concerned about the city’s public safety and casually pulled the pin from a grenade, tossing it onto the man with the burnt chest.
Boom!!
After the explosion, the man’s corpse disappeared, and Kevin clapped his hands, ready to finish up and go find Starlight.
But in his half-conscious state, he remembered something and counted the number of corpses.
There were four in total.
And the young man he saw earlier had prepared seven meals, which meant that besides Kimiko, there should have been two more people here.
And that young man who was preparing the noodles wasn’t here either.
While Kevin was wondering if an accident had happened on Starlight’s side, an accident indeed occurred.
Starlight, who had just entered the warehouse, flew back out, adopting a posture as if she had been hit by a speeding car.
“?” “The way you made your entrance…
is quite unique…” Kevin walked over to Starlight and helped her up after she was knocked down.
Starlight said indignantly.
“Is that the first thing you say when you see me get knocked out?” “Ahem, then let me be more serious: are you hurt?” Kevin inspected Starlight’s bloody stomach.
The mark from the blow on her stomach was very noticeable.
Starlight rolled her eyes.
“…Try it and you will see, she is coming!
Watch out!” As soon as she finished speaking, Kevin saw a black shadow dash out of the warehouse, heading straight for him.
The shadow was female, and compared to Kevin, she was quite small.
Her face was covered in black ash, making her features indistinct, and her hands were covered in blood; it seemed she had killed someone before their arrival.
Alright, now it wasn’t so strange why those people were missing; it turned out they had likely been killed by this wolf-like girl.
Thoughts flashed through Kevin’s mind, and the shadow had already lunged right at his face.
Since Kevin wasn’t very skilled in hand-to-hand combat, he didn’t engage the girl in a direct fight.
He quickly took a step back and waved his right hand; the blood on the ground nearby was swept up by him, forming a bloody mass the size of a human head.
The bloody sphere spun rapidly and, under Kevin’s control, slammed into the girl.
Smack!!
The blood-red sphere exploded right onto the girl, knocking her back and subjecting her to the same experience Starlight had just gone through.
Before the girl could get up, Kevin pressed his advantage.
Seeing the mineral water in the room, he directed it so that it burst from the bottle, forming a large water sphere that enveloped the girl’s mouth and nose.
“!” Since the girl’s mouth and nose were sealed by the water and she couldn’t breathe air, she began to struggle.
She kept clawing at the water sphere on her face and even swallowed quite a bit because she was choking on the water.
However, the size of the Water Sphere barely changed; it seemed to stick to the girl’s face and wouldn’t come off no matter what.
“Wait, you are going to kill her like that!” Seeing this, Starlight immediately tried to persuade Kevin.
“I know what I am doing, she is a supe, she won’t die that easily!” However, Kevin refused to stop.
The girl was clearly Kimiko, the wolf-girl, a supe with superhuman self-healing abilities.
Thanks to Kimiko’s self-healing ability, even if a large hole were blown in her head, she would recover after a while, let alone a brief suffocation.
Hearing this from Kevin, Starlight stopped trying to persuade him and only looked at Kimiko with concern.
Faced with criminals, Starlight could be ruthless and kill without hesitation.
But faced with Kimiko, who was clearly a victim, Starlight felt enough sympathy, even though the other party had just beaten her up.
The girl…
Kimiko tried with all her might to break free from the Water Sphere, but as the air gradually ran out, her strength slowly faded.
Finally, her eyes rolled back, she completely lost consciousness, and her body fell forward onto the ground.
As soon as Kimiko fell, Starlight immediately ran over to her and placed her fingers on her neck and under her nose.
Confirming that she was still breathing, Starlight breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Kevin.
“I went in and saw the bodies lying on the ground, and her next to them, but before I could say anything, she started attacking me…” “You didn’t fight back?” “She is a victim!
And I initially thought she was an ordinary person!” Starlight explained.
Since the girl was apparently a victim and didn’t expect the other party to be a supe, Starlight hadn’t used her powers to fight back.
As a result, the girl hit her hard, and she flew off to the side, which was very awkward, and that was when Kevin saw her.
Kevin didn’t want to mock Starlight; he looked at the two corpses lying on the floor and scanned the room.
Finally, he crouched down in front of a box.
“What are you doing?” Having examined the girl’s appearance, Starlight, noticing Kevin’s actions, couldn’t help but ask in confusion.
Kevin took an empty syringe out of the box and said.
“It seems these criminals have been injecting the girl with drugs.” “Oh my God…
are they experimenting on a supe?!” Starlight immediately expressed her shock.
Kevin glanced at her and said nothing.
These weren’t experiments on supe; these were experiments on humans to turn them into supe.
But this matter involved Compound V, and Compound V was connected to Vought International.
Not to mention that, according to the plot, Kevin shouldn’t have known about the existence of Compound V at all, and even if he did, he wouldn’t want to go against Vought International over it.
Lost in thought, Kevin leaned towards the small box of Compound V and found a fragment of an address.
The address on the fragment belonged to a church, and if Kevin remembered correctly, the leader of this church was a Christian named Ezekiel.
He was a superhero, and his abilities were similar to those of Mr.
Fantastic from the Fantastic Four: he could stretch his skin and limbs.
‘Some rubber man with a rubber fruit…’ Kevin complained silently, and Starlight walked over and asked.
“Did you find anything?” “No, absolutely nothing.” Kevin casually slipped the fragment into his pocket and said to Starlight.
“Let’s go back and find a place to put her first.” “Are we…
aren’t we going to take her to the police station?” Starlight asked hesitantly, and after a moment added.
“At least to the hospital?” “And then wait for her to wake up, go crazy, and kill another group of people?
Come on, come to your senses.
She is a supe, and apparently an illegal immigrant too!
If she is taken to the police station or the hospital, the investigators will drive her crazy, and she will start a bloodbath!” Kevin wasn’t fear-mongering.
Even if Kimiko had nothing to do with Homelander and Vought International, being a supe and an illegal immigrant, she couldn’t openly walk around in this country.
Furthermore, Kimiko had previously ‘studied’ under terrorists, so her combat skills and operational prowess surpassed those of ordinary people.
Combined with her Wolverine-like superpowers, when she went crazy, nothing short of a superhero or heavy firepower could put her down.
But after all the effort to save her, just to send her to be torn apart by a superhero to boost Vought International’s reputation?
Kevin would never do something so foolish.
“Okay, so what do we do next…
calm her down first?” “Yeah.” Kevin nodded, then looked at a miserable corpse whose head had been crushed by Kimiko’s bare hands, and added.
“And by the way, get a bigger cage ready…” ….
