By the end of September, Luke's first-level clone finally moved.
After waiting for a month in the Tijuana beach villa, Halle was sure that Simon would not return there to find her, so she chose to leave.
She secretly returned to the United States through private channels, but instead of going to New York, she came to San Francisco under an assumed name.
Luke naturally followed.
He could guess why she did this because Simon's stepfather Raman's pharmaceutical company was in San Francisco.
Simon's chance of appearing here is much greater than anywhere else.
Since we have already waited for a month, we don’t mind waiting a few more days. This is the common idea of both the monitor and the monitored.
In order to hide her identity, Harley transformed herself into a homeless woman with a hat and disheveled hair.
There are people like this everywhere in big cities, and no one cares about them.
As long as they don't go to the rich neighborhoods, the police won't bother them.
Arresting these people will not bring any revenue to the police station, and the police station still has to provide them with food and lodging.
Secondly, the homeless group is not the "beggar" group as many Chinese people think.
Some people just can't find a formal job for various reasons. Don't be surprised if someone finds out that a former IBM manager is a homeless person picking up waste.
This is most likely because his pension is not enough to support a normal life.
Therefore, there are indeed many homeless people who are not very hygienic and polite, but there are also many who are hygienic and polite.
It’s just because I’m short of money, so I don’t have such high requirements in these two aspects.
Harley was pretending to be this kind of relatively civilized homeless person.
In fact, although she didn't smell of perfume, she didn't smell bad either, and her gray face was the result of makeup.
The coat looked a little dirty, but there was no old dirt on it, just ordinary dust.
But with the cover of a shabby cart and the worn and messy look of her clothes, she now looks about 70% to 80% like a real homeless person.
I have to say that this female doctor and that naive art student sister are two extremes.
Margaret studies art as a hobby, but it is also a hobby that purely costs money.
Harry studied psychology as a hobby, but he could use it to put on makeup and act, and also make money.
During the few days that Luke monitored her as a homeless person, he saw that she used her knowledge of psychology to easily make passers-by open their pockets out of kindness.
By fooling around for an hour or two, you can easily earn more than a hundred dollars, which is much easier than making money for ordinary wage earners.
For a psychologist who charges $300 for an hour of counseling, this income is not high.
However, the reason why Harley was able to charge three hundred dollars an hour before was largely because someone was willing to spend more than the market price to hire a beautiful female psychologist.
Now she is playing with pure technical skills, and she has to make it unnoticeable to ordinary people. This efficiency is all thanks to her strong professional skills.
Harry spent a little time every day to get enough money, and the rest of the time she appeared near Raman's company headquarters, gathering various intelligence.
Soon after, she simply set up a "nest" near the Raman Company, so that she could monitor the place almost day and night.
Luke didn't care.
Harley's performance was actually his doing.
He fueled Harley's impulse to find Simon, and at the same time planted an irrefutable logic deeper in her heart—Simon was beaten away by the Joker and now he doesn't even dare to show his face.
As long as she couldn't find Simon, she would transfer some of her admiration and obsession with him to the clown.
When she is completely disappointed, Harley will abandon the useless Simon and join the more powerful and mysterious Joker.
So, Luke was not in a hurry at all.
Whether it was fair to Harley that he did this was a false proposition.
If Simon's control over Harley was so easy to remove, Luke wouldn't have been coveting Simon's abilities all this time.
It's just the lesser of two evils.
At least Luke has a system to remind him not to do bad things, but Simon doesn't.
It's better for Harley to be controlled by Luke than to become an accomplice of a monster with no bottom line like Simon.
However, without the beach villa, Luke lost interest in keeping a close eye on the female doctor at night.
After placing down enough monitoring equipment, the first-level clone went to do what he was supposed to do.
It is his unshirkable responsibility to help the San Francisco traffickers clear inventory pressure and solve the problem of redundant staff.
Carefully select those targets who have committed extremely serious crimes and have extremely high scores, and make both the person and the goods disappear.
Most of the middle and low-level staff who stayed behind were confused: Did the boss run away secretly, or did he go alone
As the number of "mystery tourism" bosses increased to ten, a few smart people with good memory finally remembered what happened a few years ago.
The urban horror legend that once shrouded the colleagues next door - the Ghost Butcher.
But under the temptation of money and death, most people, even if they are a little wary, can't help but take over the territories and businesses left behind by these "travel enthusiasts".
At this time, no one continued to disappear, which made the group of people who got a bargain very happy. The horror legend was forgotten by the gang members who were busy fighting for territory.
In fact, it was only because Luke found that many people wanted to escape that he suspended the scoring operation.
The length of time the first-level clone needs to stay here is uncertain, so it is necessary to stick to the sustainable development route for a period of time.
New York is a lesson for us.
The leeks there were already languishing due to Luke and Selina's constant harvesting.
Then the Bat Team also includes Frank, the little turtle master and apprentice, and Damon and his daughter, who go out to adjust their mood whenever they want.
Now all that's left is some leek roots.
Besides, if these guys in San Francisco ran away, Luke would not have the time to look for them.
He can only be more restrained and more skillful in fleecing the sheep.
In addition to monitoring the female doctor and earning some points, the first-level clone once again found Dr. Pym hiding in a small building in the wild.
Putting on the guise of a big boss who sells everything, he took the initiative to go to the old man's house and enthusiastically and proactively help him with his business.
Luke was in a good mood after getting six more Pym particles.
However, this time, the boss agreed to Dr. Pym's small request to a limited extent and would consider helping him take back the company at the right time.
This is certainly not the effect of Dr. Pym's protagonist halo, and the big boss has to bow down to him.
Instead, Darren Cross, the current president of Pym Technologies, who has been under close scrutiny, has become upset by Dr. Pym's little trick and seems ready to conduct some not-so-kind experiments.
The reason why Luke didn't agree to deal with Darren before was because the dispute between Yellow Darren and Dr. Pym was just a business dispute, and it was hard to say who was right or wrong.
But once this guy conducts random human experiments and goes beyond the legal and moral boundaries, his status will likely turn from yellow to red.
At that time, he would not only lose the protection of the system's rules, but would also break Luke's moral bottom line.
Taking Darren's life would definitely be an overkill, but beating him up and learning the technology of Pym particles can only be considered as the hard work he put in to doing good deeds.
Luke is not short of money anyway, and he gets the Pym particles only for his own use, so it doesn't count as cheating Dr. Pym.
