Susan and the other three had no defenses against Xi Nian and Lorna, the 'siblings.' First, the two of them were simply too young, barely thirty years old combined, making it difficult to apply conspiracy theories to them.
On the other hand, the beginning of this incident was also attributed to Susan's unilateral loss of conatrol over her abilities.
Reed's superior genius might have detected Xi Nian's abnormality, but he had experienced too many changes that day, and his mind was now fully focused on the superhuman transformation of his body. Coupled with the anxiety of his good friend, Thing, infecting him, he also regarded Xi Nian and Lorna as ordinary children.
Xi Nian blended in, and with Guan Luo in his backpack providing intel via mental thoughts, he quickly understood what was going on with this group of people who had just come into contact with the supernatural.
A week ago.
Reed's research found that exposure to high-energy cosmic storms generated by solar flares might trigger the evolution of early planetary life. Studying it could fundamentally advance the understanding of human genes, leading to the development of new drugs to treat various human diseases.
So.
Reed took his friend, Ben, to a company run by a CEO named Victor to secure investment. He, along with Susan, who was the head of genetics at that company, and her brother, Johnny, formed a group of five and took the company's private space shuttle to outer space.
In space, they accidentally exposed their bodies to a cosmic storm. After returning yesterday, the four of them began to experience abnormalities in their bodies one after another—
First, Ben's body turned to stone, allowing him to easily lift cars weighing several tons.
Reed's body became elastic, allowing him to freely stretch various parts of his body.
Johnny gained the ability to control Fire, able to envelop his body in Fire and even generate supernoval-level high temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.
Among the four.
Susan's abilities were the most complex and numerous. Currently known were invisibility, energy shields, and a mysterious force field effect... Reed truly lived up to his reputation as a genius in the scientific field. Although he couldn't directly create an anti-cosmic storm machine in a short time, he still immediately developed special suits for the four of them to wear—marvelous battle suits that could burn, become invisible, stretch freely, and were not easily damaged.
Xi Nian felt that the large shorts worn by Hulk should also be this type of battle suit.
Reed and Johnny immediately changed into their fantastic suits. Susan, however, couldn't change because her body was still connected to Xi Nian's left hand.
After a simple check of their physical condition and the development of the battle suits, night had already fallen outside the office's French windows.
"Oh, right, I need to go find Victor!" Reed looked at the brightly lit city outside, as if remembering something very important, and hurriedly left the office.
Did he just realize it?
Xi Nian muttered to himself. Since their four bodies had become superhuman and gained miraculous abilities, then Victor, the investor who went with them, should have also experienced special conditions in his body long ago.
At this moment.
Susan, holding her fantastic suit in one hand, smiled at Xi Nian and said, "Max, then you'll come with me... back to my place, okay?"
"Okay," Xi Nian returned the smile.
"Kid, you better watch it. Tonight, don't get any ideas about my sister," Johnny warned coolly from the side.
Susan immediately glared at him, finally unable to hold back, and reprimanded, "Johnny, what are you saying?! He's still a student, several years younger than me! Besides, Polaris will be coming along too!"
"Who knows," Johnny shrugged.
For him, he was quite happy to see Reed become his brother-in-law, which was better than the arrogant, uncomfortable Victor.
But as a seasoned player who had more than ten girlfriends, Johnny had always had an ominous feeling since he first saw Xi Nian.
He watched his sister, Susan, leave the company with Xi Nian and Lorna.
Johnny shook his head, casting aside his overly absurd thoughts.
It couldn't possibly be a boy even younger than him who ended up becoming his brother-in-law, could it?
