Growing up, Joseph had no way to deal with Luke.
No matter how smart a child is, he or she will be depressed if he or she meets a stuffy man who lived to be 30 years old in his or her previous life.
When it comes to being thick-skinned, Luke is several times thicker than Claire and Joseph combined, there's no way he can fight him.
Joseph could only make it clear: "Forget about your business trip. A few days later, Mindy also went on a trip. She entrusted me to Nikki and Monica. They took turns to send me home. Did you know that?"
Luke chuckled and raised his hand to rub Joseph's head: "Hey~ Isn't this a bargain for you? Long-legged big sister, online pick-up, I don't know how many people would be happy to have this."
Suddenly, he acted as if he had suddenly realized something: "So, you are not actually blaming me for going on a business trip, but you are just unhappy that Mindy is also traveling?"
Joseph opened his mouth, speechless.
He was really unhappy about this, but it wasn't just about Mindy, it was because she went to Neon with the friend she had recently met.
Joseph is only nine years old and needs his parents to accompany him when he goes abroad. What can he do
He didn't think that Catherine would let him take leave for no reason and accompany him on a trip abroad.
Although Mindy told some stories about the Neon tour after she came back, which didn't sound very interesting, Joseph was still a little depressed.
What he didn't know was that the second-level clone had been in New York all the time, coming to the basement of the nest every night to work and watch over him, but he had never appeared in front of Joseph.
Luke stopped teasing Joseph, opened his backpack, and handed over two boxes: "Gifts for you."
Joseph looked at the color suspiciously: "A matching color again?"
Luke winked at him: "Look for yourself, I didn't add packaging on purpose."
Joseph opened the black box, revealing a large translucent packaging box with a prominent neon logo and a ferocious black bear head on the border.
He casually picked up the tablet, pointed it at the box and took a photo, then clicked to extract the text and translation: "The strongest hero Black Bear is here, with 100 limited sets to be released first? Armor with a 95% realistic look?"
He then opened the pink box below: "The strongest hero, Pink Bear, is here. The first 100 sets are limited to the first batch. Um... Princess dress?"
Joseph's eyes widened: "You want me to give Mindy a princess dress?"
Luke: "Is it not possible? I'm a girl. Besides, this limited edition only sells skirts, not armor."
Besides, the armor I made is not as good-looking as others. Someone muttered in his heart.
Joseph hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the gift.
At least some thought had gone into this thing—Mindy really did prefer the pink color.
After receiving the gift, the younger brother was no longer embarrassed to have a stern face, and the two brothers could finally talk peacefully.
…
After Luke and the other man came back, there was no big action.
After a fulfilling vacation, Selina started to deal with the squeezed PDD affairs again, and Luke began to study Parasyte and Symbiote Riot.
Compared to before, Luke still has a few more people under his command now.
The three doctors, Stern, Claudia and Ophelia in Space No. 2, are all very interested in alien species.
They all have their own main projects, but Luke has a lot of parasitic beasts on hand, so he gives each of them two to study, as a way of varying their research tastes.
Keep collecting them after they are used up. They are not rare species anyway.
The symbiote riot did get the unanimous attention of the three doctors, but Luke loved this guy so much that he didn't dare let them mess with him directly.
If he were to be killed, Luke would have no place to find a second one.
The research on the parasite soon produced some rough results, and all three doctors came to the conclusion that it had limited value in the short term and was not worth further study.
After all, this thing only parasitizes a certain part of the human body, and the rest of the body is still weak.
Multi-body parasitism can indeed strengthen more parts, but the consciousness of multiple parasites will conflict and interfere with each other.
If not handled properly, it will become like the many-headed monster in mythology, fighting for control of the body.
On the other hand, the green fat guys still basically maintain their human appearance.
Although Bronsky, the half-Hulk, still has a human form, he is no longer popular.
Not only do parasitic beasts rely on eating humans to survive, their appearance is also completely anti-human. They also have to parasitize, which can easily produce the uncanny valley effect.
For the time being, the parasite can only be used as an interesting research material, and we cannot expect to gain any benefits from it.
However, it was the eccentric person named Izumi Shinichi that interested Dr. Stern very much.
Unfortunately, Izumi Shinichi is a neutral yellow name, so Luke can't catch him for experiments. He can only ask the PDD agency in Japan to find an opportunity to trick him into participating in some tests.
The real force behind the research on parasitic beasts is actually the highly intelligent parasitic beast Tamiya Yoshiko.
Luke offered her a condition that he would let her go if she could research food that could replace humans.
If this goal is achieved, Luke can also provide her with shelter and live openly in human society.
But she has to become the new king of the parasites and try her best to control the remaining parasites and stop them from eating humans.
By then, she and her people could work for Phil.
The combat power of parasitic beasts far exceeds that of normal humans, so this is the only treatment they can receive.
They have lived in human society for a long time, so it is not difficult for them to conceal their cannibalism perfectly. It is very likely that they will secretly kill someone to eat if someone is greedy.
Of course they cannot be allowed to hide freely in human society.
Tamiya Yoshiko had no objections and even took the initiative to start research the day after she was arrested.
Luke also needs time to experiment with the effects of various abilities and methods on her.
The effects of pheromone control, mental hypnosis and hallucinations on parasitic beasts are only relatively poor, but not completely ineffective.
He could make adjustments as he experimented, and maybe he could find targeted control methods to ensure that nothing would happen to Tamiya Yoshiko.
…
Luke is obsessed with scientific research and cannot extricate himself.
Mindy's side became lively.
A few days ago, she found a big guy who sells everything and opened a separate team channel called Ursa Minor.
The rules of this channel were copied directly from the Bat-Squad, and Luke even added a youth mode - asking questions or revealing personal information will be directly censored.
One of the members is her, codenamed Ms. M.
Joseph was also among them, codenamed Destiny.
Then there are the little turtles’ blueberry (Leo), red bean ice (Raphael), Sunkist (Mickey), and purple grape (Donnie).
Next up are Black Pearl (Monica), White Diamond (Nikki), Ms. J (Carrie), and Mr. T (Tyrone).
Finally, there is Ms. P, who is... Claire.
As to whether this P stands for pink, Peggy, or even two in one, only Claire herself knows.
Apart from that, the channel administrators or group owners are Luke and Selina, who share this account to ensure that these guys don’t mess around.
Among this group of young people, the most ordinary one is Joseph. Apart from his IQ over 140, there is nothing special about him.
But if they really want to cause trouble, the lineup of ten people with super powers is luxurious enough, but they lack experience and organization.
But if Mindy continues like this, Luke may not have to worry about the second echelon. Isn't this little bear group a ready-made "youth team"!
