"Mr. Lark?" The controlled puppet glanced at Lark from the mechanical security team who stopped him.
"You don't have to go in. Mr. Om and Ms. Stinney can go in to see the boss." Lark said expressionlessly.
The controlled puppet subconsciously looked at the disguised Purple Man and Jessica. Seeing the Purple Man nod implicitly, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back and made way.
Purple Man followed Lark into the lab, while Jessica, disguised as Steiny, followed behind them. Her gaze was fixed on Lark's neck and other vital points. As soon as she received a command from Purple Man, she could snap his neck from behind at top speed. She was very confident of this.
The purple man followed the silent Lark forward, his eyes darting around him. He had already activated his ability, targeting Lark, the leader. However, he was somewhat surprised by the other party's unexpectedly high tolerance. This inexplicably resurfaced the uneasiness he had just suppressed.
He quietly made a gesture to Jessica behind him that only the two of them understood.
"The boss is waiting for you inside."
Lark brought the two Purple Men to a metal door, pressed the palm print of his intact left hand on the unlocking device of the metal door, opened the door, and said to the two Purple Men.
Purple Man cautiously peeked inside and saw a figure standing in the room, waving his arms and busy on a series of floating virtual screens. The figure looked like a perfect match for Luke's image in his mind. Seeing his target appear before his eyes, Purple Man breathed a sigh of relief and, at Luke's signal, led Jessica into the room.
The metal door closed behind them.
The virtual projection in the room flickered and disappeared under the purple man's bloodshot gaze. Metal walls rose from the surrounding walls, sealing the exit. To make matters worse, a powerful stun spray was turning into a thick fog, filling the closed room.
When he first fell unconscious, Zi Ren couldn't figure out how he, who had been so cautious from beginning to end, was exposed?
…
In another room, Luke was sitting in a swivel chair watching all the footage of the Purple Man since he entered Heberon, including footage of a safe corner that he thought was a blind spot.
At the same time, on another floating virtual screen, there is all the picture information related to the purple man's face that Bai Hou has collected on the Internet, which is then summarized and classified for matching and comparison, and complete information after identity information query.
"Why touch the employee's ID card when you could do anything else? Don't you know that thing is a trap to attract the White Queen's attention?" Luke shrugged.
"What are you going to do next?"
Snoke, the captain of the mechanical security team, looked at the intruder lying unconscious on another screen and asked Luke.
"Get your synaesthesia gear ready," Luke said calmly. "I need to know all the secrets in their heads."
Snooker nodded.
Now that he has gained a high level of trust, he is qualified to access some of Heberon's technical secrets. For example, the synaesthesia system that can upload and view certain memories of the wearer?
Following Luke's instructions, Snoke summoned the security team on standby in the laboratory, carefully put on his iron armor, and opened the closed laboratory door.
Facts proved that Snooker's caution was correct. After the metal door was opened, the two people who seemed unconscious on the ground suddenly jumped up from the ground. However, their resistance was quickly suppressed. The only trouble was that the female intruder was incredibly strong, and her jumping ability and air-staying ability were even more amazing.
But in front of the fully armed mechanical team, the two men's best efforts only meant they struggled for a little longer.
After the two people, whose limbs were restrained by machines, were taken into a room and put on a helmet, everything was no longer a secret.
…
When the purple man broke free from the torrent of synesthetic memories, still looking a little confused, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Zebdiah Kilgrave?" Luke looked at the two people tied up inside the bulletproof glass.
The purple man, whose real name was called out, raised his head and saw Luke's young, handsome, smiling face not far away.
He thought this action was absolutely ridiculous! He thought the worst-case scenario would be a fight, and then he would use his abilities and Jessica's force to abduct someone and rush out. Unexpectedly, he didn't even see anyone before being knocked down by a series of unexpected accidents.
"This is a misunderstanding." The Purple Man had learned from Dario Agger how to bend and stretch. It was obvious that the other party had somehow learned of his abilities and had targeted him, having exposed himself. Even after gaining the upper hand, they were still so cautious that they didn't give him the slightest chance to turn the tables.
"That's not what your memory tells me." Luke shook his head.
"My memory?" Thinking of the various memories that kept replaying in his mind after he put on that strange helmet, no matter whether they were those he remembered clearly or those he deliberately forgot, the purple man's face twitched involuntarily.
"Very exciting memories." Luke waved his hand, and a dense array of virtual screens appeared in front of the Purple Man, showing memories of him being bullied since he was a child, memories of him being experimented on, memories of him being a spy, and memories of him being unscrupulous after he gained abilities.
"Enough! It was Roxxon! Dario Agger sent me here! I was forced! This is between you and him!" The Purple Man's hardened heart watched as the scenes he had deliberately forgotten and didn't want to recall replayed over and over again before him. Finally, he couldn't help but shout out. "Let me go, I can help you!"
"Your abilities are indeed unique."
Luke's approval made Zi Ren think he had found a ray of hope, so he said more urgently, "I know you and Stark have been having some trouble with the new energy issue lately. I can help you solve it! Roxxon's crazy expansion in recent years is all thanks to my help! I helped them deal with those troublesome congressmen, troublesome citizens, and troublesome companies! My abilities are invincible to those people! I only need to control the key figures, and I can make them make decisions that are in your best interest!"
Even if he wakes up later, you can still use various methods to solve this problem. For example, intimidation or bribery, or if they are really stubborn, you can just make them disappear! If you are afraid of trouble, I can use my ability to make them write a suicide note! You see, I am very useful!
"Don't listen to him! He's a demon! He's a lunatic!" A female voice cursed right after the Purple Man's voice. It was the controlled Jessica Jones.
"Damn it, how could you wake up at this time? My ability..." The purple man turned his head in disbelief and looked at Jessica Jones who was staring at him with hatred.
"Sorry, your ability is not unsolvable. We just need to analyze the hormone you emit, and it will be easy to create a targeted sobering agent. It seems to be very effective." Luke kindly answered the purple man's doubts.
"I'm really useful!" The Purple Man ignored Jessica Jones, who kept cursing him after waking up, and looked at Luke with anticipation. If possible, he would rather not accept this mission, or change his target!
"I know." Luke nodded.
"So?" The anticipation on Zi Ren's face turned into ecstasy.
"In addition to mechanics, I'm also good at some biological genetics." Luke smiled implicitly. Seeing the purple man's bewildered expression, he said something that made him look shocked and panicked: "So, are you willing to undergo a sublimation transformation?"
