For now, Luke thinks it is more cost-effective to look for clues related to Hydra first.
The Roxxon Company, which relies on American laws to prey on people, will not run away. It has always been there.
The chances of finding a Hydra member are even rarer, and the consequences of killing him will be simpler.
Most of Hydra's deaths will not alert the authorities, as they themselves will try their best to cover it up.
This kind of opponent who consciously cleans up the mess is really considerate, and Luke likes it the most.
Having made up his mind, Luke rushed around DC, looking for the remaining targets.
The luck was bad at this time, three were missing and two died.
Luke estimated that the three missing people were probably dead as well, but they just died in a remote corner.
Neither of the deceased were at home.
They had just gone out not long ago, and not far from home, one fell into the river and drowned, and the other was hit and killed by a car.
But without exception, the "clairvoyance" devices in their eyes had self-destructed.
Luke's eyes flashed with interest as he watched the patrol police arrive and take away the two bodies.
This was a cautious and ruthless opponent, and he acted without hesitation, eliminating five people in this way.
Except for the unsuspecting female manager at the beginning and the engineer from Roxxon Company, all other targets that Luke was interested in had disappeared.
Of course, this does not mean that all traces disappear.
However, it will take more time to find more clues from these people.
Luke had another ready-made path.
Thinking of this, he asked the intelligent program Polaris: "Have you developed a reverse tracking program?"
Polaris: "Sir, the procedure is about to be completed, but the other party has a countermeasure procedure, and there is a 72% chance of cutting off contact in advance."
Luke: "But there's also a 50% chance that he missed something, right?"
Polaris: "The probability is uncertain because I cannot judge the ability and caution of the other party's technicians."
Luke chuckled, "No, the 50% I mentioned is only yes and no."
As he spoke, he disappeared into the night.
…
Garrett looked at the message on the computer and rubbed his chin: "No one showed up. Did I overestimate my opponent?"
Although he said this, his eyes were gloomy.
The vague sense of crisis in his heart reminded him that this matter was not over yet.
Finally he stood up and went back to the researcher: "Work in shifts 24 hours a day these days, keep an eye on everyone in the Clairvoyance system. If there's a problem, don't hesitate to clear it out."
The researcher was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Are you sure?"
Garrett nodded: "I have a feeling that this opponent is not that easy to deal with. Don't be careless. That's it. I'm leaving now."
The researcher uttered an "oh" and turned back to look at the screen.
Whatever the clairvoyant says, that's it.
All of this was paid for by the boss, he is just a technician, the researcher thought.
Leaving here and entering an underground parking lot, Garrett took off the nano mask, then put on another face and car and left.
Two hours later, Luke entered the parking lot stealthily.
A moment later, he stood in front of the car that Garrett had parked here, with a smile on his face: "Got you, Clairvoyant!"
Luke’s reverse tracking program was indeed discovered immediately, and the other party disconnected the connection, ensuring their own safety.
Polaris's 72% chance of being discovered was correct, but his 50% chance also happened.
The other party was unaware of the back-up plan in the reverse tracking procedure.
When the connection is interrupted, the backhander is already lurking, waiting for the opportunity and immediately sending the opponent's coordinates.
The entire waiting process took no more than five minutes, and Luke got the other party's coordinates.
This is the result of the technology gap between the two sides.
Apart from Batman's online ghost fan, Luke has not found any earthling who can compete with the young master's technology and intelligent programs.
The other party's level is definitely not bad, but unfortunately he is a little behind in terms of software and his own technology.
When the two are added together, the difference is a whole level.
Luke arrived at the coordinates again and found that it was a high-tech prosthetics research institute.
Well, there is nothing wrong with that. Just like the young master calling the Mark Armor his prosthesis, it is a reasonable thing to do.
According to the coordinates, the location is an office, but there is no one inside. The real target is in the basement.
Luke didn't want his opponents to know that he had discovered this place, so he didn't sneak into the underground floor with strict security. Instead, he walked around the research institute where there were only two security guards on duty.
Then he found a scent that had a backup in his memory.
After thinking for almost a minute, he finally associated the smell with the person.
As the number of people I meet increases, my keen sense of smell cannot be recorded in documents and can only be memorized in my brain, which is the most inconvenient thing.
Even though his mental state is far superior to that of an ordinary person and his memory has greatly improved, it is impossible for him to remember everyone.
He can only focus on remembering those who are more special and important.
The man discovered tonight had appeared in front of Luke before, but only once or twice, so his keen sense of smell was not that profound.
The presence of this person in the backup proves that the other party was not a passerby who passed by, but someone who left a deep impression on Luke.
Luke then remembered that this was during an earthquake charity performance when an X-bomb attack occurred and he met two people who claimed to be FBI agents.
One was a middle-aged man named John Garrett and the other was a young man named Grant Ward.
And what’s very coincidental is that the two people’s ID cards are from “FBI Division 17”, which is the vest department that Phil and his team usually use.
The Triskelion Building, the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., is in DC, and the three suspects in the failed charity air raid also came from DC.
These plots were quickly connected in my mind, and the appearance of the middle-aged man became clear.
Yes, that's John Garrett.
His scent was unmistakable in this enclosed room and in the elevator shaft leading to the basement.
It was a deserted night, and the scent of this one person was as eye-catching as a firefly in autumn.
After calling up several surveillance cameras at a nearby street corner, Luke found the car and followed it to the underground parking lot.
This time, he was absolutely sure that he had caught the real culprit.
John Garrett and Grant Ward, these two are both bright red on the system's hostile list, it seems that they have a lot of opinions about me.
Would a normal SHIELD agent hate himself so much? Obviously not.
Even if there are agents who really want to capture Batman or other superheroes, at best they would be ordinary hostility of light red, which falls under the category of "opposition in the nature of their work."
The only people left who hate Luke so much are probably the members of Hydra's SHIELD branch.
Thinking of the person who claimed to be a clairvoyant in the Rama Eyeball Device, Luke couldn't help laughing: This guy is having a lot of fun! He actually learned how to create a vest to fool people.
Unfortunately, everything can deceive people, but smell cannot.
If anything is lacking, then the result will be a dog instead of a tiger.
