Being A Detective in The World of Film and Television

Chapter 1542: The root of the matter, the Inhumans (Part 2)

Views:

The circle of floor where Skye and the others were standing was chopped into pieces by his kicks, and the broken pieces were stored in the storage space.

Because this completely normal floor was too eye-catching in this completely charred room.

Next was Emma’s youngest son’s crib, which was even more eye-catching in its intact state, so it was also taken away.

While cleaning, he felt a little helpless: this rescue station was probably going to close down.

No matter what he said, many people saw the loud explosion and the fire just now.

No matter how much we emphasize safety afterwards, it will not change this.

Thinking of this, he was no longer in a hurry.

As long as there are no deaths or serious injuries, it is not a big problem if there are fewer people in the rescue station.

However, the "culprit" and the course of the crime must be under his control.

Luke didn't come out with Skye because he didn't want to attract attention.

There were a lot of people outside, and if he followed them out, it would be easy for people to connect the incident to the two women.

Some people may still be suspicious of this approach, but you can always just give it a perfunctory answer.

Selena outside also followed his instructions and quickly picked up the two adults and two children and brought them to her home which was a few dozen meters away.

Luke went out and took Peter and the two girls away, and entrusted the matters here to Chief George, Uncle Ben, and Adrian.

The three of them have a large number of subordinates here, and their combined deterrence and prestige are strong enough, so there is no need for him to give blind orders.

If you want to pick up your children, just come to your home so that you don’t have to worry.

In less than ten minutes, Luke returned to his home.

Selena and the others are all in the living room on the second floor.

Luke grabbed little Peter who was being passed around and asked him to play with the two little sisters and take care of the new little brother.

Then he gestured to Skye and Emma, who looked nervous, to follow him to the third floor, and Emma's two sons stayed on the second floor for the time being.

Selina got a signal from his eyes and immediately called Nugget over and asked it to stare at the naughty baby.

The three-year-old brother had already run off to play with Peter and the others, completely forgetting that he had a younger brother.

Gold Nugget looked at Selina aggrievedly: "Ah?"

Selina whispered, "You think he smells like shit, but I can't smell it? He's so small, and you're short, so you can just stare at him. At most... you don't need to use your mouth?"

Nugget: ...You actually want me to bite that stinky little butt with my mouth

On the third floor, Luke took Skye and Emma into the study, and then asked about the whole story.

With the manipulation of pheromones and the assistance of Skye, who completely trusted and stood by him, the wary Emma quickly told the truth.

But after hearing this, Luke's face didn't look good.

Not to mention anything else, the man in the leather windbreaker and sunglasses was very difficult to deal with.

This man's name is Gordon, and he has the ability to teleport, with no apparent limits to his abilities.

The distance can exceed thousands of kilometers, and there is no cooling time.

Luke wasn't afraid that this guy would come looking for him, because that would simply be courting death.

If you mess with Selina, you will be in trouble, because the gold nugget is with her 24 hours a day.

But it would be troublesome if the other party was determined to avoid him and specifically targeted Emma for a sneak attack.

Gordon came for Emma because she was part of "them".

This "they" calls themselves Inhumans, or more bluntly, people with super powers.

The difference is that the Inhumans' superpowers can be inherited, but they are basically recessive.

Except for a very small number of people who can stimulate their superpowers under unknown circumstances, other people are no different from ordinary people on Earth.

But there is a means within the Inhumans that can ensure the completion of the stimulation process.

However, this method may have some limitations. Only a few people can be activated each year, and most Inhumans are in a state of waiting to be activated.

Many Inhumans are unaware of their own identities and they live among ordinary people.

Some of the Inhumans who are discovered will be taken to the Inhumans' secluded place, "Afterlife", which is described as the Inhumans' Shangri-La, where they can avoid the dangers of the outside world.

I don’t know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that Emma was one of those extremely rare people who was stimulated on her own and then taken to the afterlife.

At that time, her eldest son was two years old. She had a falling out with her boyfriend and had no choice but to choose to join the afterlife.

But she was pregnant with her second child.

During her time in the afterlife, she accidentally heard that people without Inhuman blood could not stay in the afterlife. Inhumans with weak bloodlines that were difficult to stimulate would also be sent to live in the afterlife.

Her heart began to lift.

When her youngest son was born, she received a bad answer from the leader of the next life, Jia Ying - her youngest son had a weak bloodline, and when he grew up, he would be sent to the next life and return to society.

Emma couldn't accept being separated from her son, so she offered to send herself and the child away.

But Jia Ying did not agree.

The reason is simple.

As a rare Inhuman with the ability to self-stimulate, Emma's ability is quite powerful. The flames she spews out can transform her into a human-shaped incendiary bomb that can explode multiple times.

After Emma and Jia Ying discussed it many times, they finally reached an agreement.

Emma's youngest son can live here until he is three years old, when Jia Ying will send her and the child away.

The agreement was reached, but Emma was not so reassured.

Because when she was living in the afterlife, she had talked to many people, and there was no precedent for this there.

Anyone who doesn’t have enough “value” will be sent away.

Many of the aliens are not alone, and their relatives are also not allowed to enter the afterlife. The aliens can only go back to see them occasionally.

Jia Ying is a woman of her word, and Emma doesn't think this woman will change her mind.

Jia Ying just wanted to use three years to make Emma accept giving up the child.

The Inhumans are not a society for ordinary people. Who knows if there are people with super powers who can influence people's thinking.

So Emma found an opportunity, sneaked out of the afterlife, and returned to her most familiar hometown, New York.

How did she escape? She just rushed out like a rocket, holding the child.

If you have super talent, you can do whatever you want.

Luke was certain that what Emma said was true—at least, the truth in her own mind.

In reality, whether Jia Ying has so many little thoughts and whether the afterlife is really like what Emma said is another question.

But considering her level of talent, Luke thought it was very likely.

Just by relying on ability control, you can fly with two young children in your arms and prevent them from being burned to death or frostbitten. This is simply cheating.

It has only been less than two years since Emma activated her ability, and she has not used it for most of that time.

It is difficult to explain such a speed of progress except by natural talent.

How could Jia Ying bear to let go of such a powerful person with super powers

Even if Luke put himself in Jia Ying's position, he would find it difficult.

At most, he could use other methods to reach a consensus. After all, he was not an alien and did not have Jia Ying's sense of "racial protection."

After figuring this out, Luke made a decision in his mind.

Emma must be sent away immediately, to live in seclusion in a solitary place.
