Virus research base, inside the laboratory.
The light illuminated the spacious corner of the room brightly and transparently. Colin, who was staring at a set of virus experiments on the laboratory table, heard the message ringtone of his mobile phone. He paused and took out his mobile phone to check.
"News about Lupin."
Unlike the direct contact with Vahar, he has always used another mobile phone that has never been exposed to contact Lupin. The current mobile phone is only used to receive messages.
Judging from the message sent this time, according to the agreed statement, this is the secret signal that their actions have been successful.
He put the phone in his pocket, pondered for a moment, and then the black magic power surged in his hand. After completely destroying the new round of virus experiment samples, he walked out of the laboratory.
At the same time, in an FBI information monitoring room, as the information was sent to Colin's mobile phone, the eyes of a man in a suit who was staring at the computer suddenly became sharp.
"Is there any movement?" the partner next to him asked when he saw it.
"Someone sent a message to the target." The man staring at the computer said without turning his head.
"Let me see." The partner listened and leaned forward with interest. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Secret code?"
From the surface, the information is just a bunch of meaningless words and nothing can be seen.
The person who was monitoring listened without saying anything, but he asked the agent near the base. After getting the news, he frowned.
"The target is out..."
He muttered, and his partner beside him heard it, but he understood what he meant and simply asked, "Do you want to send someone to monitor you?"
The person in charge of surveillance nodded without hesitation. Even though the intelligence showed how powerful the target was and his superiors did not force him to give any results, he was still unwilling to just maintain the most basic surveillance. He always wanted to go a step further and conduct a deeper investigation.
"I don't recommend you do this. If the target is really as described in the intelligence, then it is simply a monster." The partner saw it and said without hesitation.
"But we can't just sit there and do nothing like we are doing now... Let them try it, and then give up if it doesn't work."
After listening to his partner's words, he finally responded somewhat unwillingly and gave orders to the people near the virus base.
The partner listened and said nothing more. He had never seen with his own eyes what a superhuman was. Even if he asked the newspaper to describe it as best as possible, there would always be more or less contempt.
“… Yes, I understand.”
Outside the virus experiment base, the newly sent FBI agent focused his attention on the entrance door after receiving orders from headquarters.
The difficulty of this mission is quite high. Although the target to be tracked is not proficient in anti-tracking knowledge, his own strength completely makes up for this and even exceeds it.
More importantly, under the current situation, there are very few pedestrians still wandering outside, and the difficulty of tracking has increased by several levels.
However, according to the task information, he just needed to give it a try, so there was not much pressure.
Not long after, the target appeared from the base gate, and at the same time, Colin, whose strength had been greatly improved and who had gained great bonuses from equipment, sensed that someone was watching him the moment his eyes fell on him.
However, this perception made him give up the idea of using the portal immediately.
Surveillance... Is it S.H.I.E.L.D.
Colin thought about it in his mind, but quickly denied this guess.
It’s not that the people of SHIELD are noble and would not do this, but Nick is very clear that he will definitely discover this kind of surveillance, and when his vaccine is still needed to save lives, the old fox will not give him the opportunity to lose his temper.
Apart from SHIELD, who knows him very well, there are many people who want to monitor him. However, there seems to be no need to think about it slowly.
He strode towards the direction of the gaze. On the other side, the FBI agent who received the order saw the target walking directly towards him, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
He hasn't even started tracking yet, and the distance between the two sides is almost fifty meters, and it's dark, how could he be discovered in an instant
No, we have to leave quickly, and we have to tell our superiors that the target's perception is much sharper than we thought.
He quickly adjusted his expression and walked towards a nearby building in the hope of getting away with it. However, before he had taken two steps, an arm was placed on his shoulder, making him feel a chill in his heart.
No, I can't give up. He just watched from a distance, no different from an ordinary person. There is no reason for the other party to be sure that he was being monitored, unless the officer who gave him the information was a mole, but this is absolutely impossible.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt more confident, and turned around with an impatient expression and said, "Hey! You guy..."
"Are you playing dumb..."
Without letting the man continue speaking, Colin released magic power in his hands, directly blocking all actions of the target.
He didn't know what was in the agent's mind, but for someone like him, a look, a movement, or even just a dangerous thought in his mind, was enough to make them certain of something.
"Tell me your origins!"
The brown pupils flashed with a black light, and the agent who was grabbed by the shoulders saw it. The pupils gradually dilated and he opened his mouth to tell everything.
…
Inside a residential building in Lower Manhattan.
Ever since Alex asked to temporarily live with Lupin and his gang, everyone moved to a safe house.
After Alex, Lupin and others who had gone out to investigate came back, the not-so-big house became lively.
Fujiko taught Dana and Karen how to show the most charming side of a woman. Jigen was half lying on the sofa smoking, Goemon was in the kitchen cooking tonight's food, and Lupin was chatting with Alex about some past events at the computer, and Sky who was far away in another city was listening to them.
"Is it really okay? Let Colin come here directly."
After telling a story about his own adventure, Lupin stopped talking and abruptly asked Alex.
Originally, he wanted to change his position when reporting the results of their investigation to Colin, so as not to expose the safe house related to Alex, but after knowing this, Alex rejected his idea.
"According to what you said, if he really wants to find me, he can't hide away without telling him, and I also have some questions I want to ask him." Alex replied.
"It's okay as long as you have an idea in your mind." Lupin didn't say more on this topic. To be honest, he still didn't trust Colin too much, but a reminder was enough. Moreover, even though he didn't trust him, he didn't think Colin would really do anything.
"By the way, how is your investigation going?"
Lupin asked casually, and Alex was about to answer when there was a knock on the door.
