"Thank you Peter, you saved Liz's life again, and her mother!" Adrian hugged Peter sincerely and thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you, kid." Mrs. Toombs kept thanking Peter and Peter's family with red eyes.
Peter smiled shyly: "This is what should be done. Liz is my classmate. I can't stand idly by."
Adrian was convinced that Peter was indeed a good boy, and he would not object if Liz really fell in love with him. Of course, this is the children's matter, and he won't interfere too much, but for Peter's family, he will definitely repay the favor.
After chatting for a few more words, Peter couldn't help but ask about the progress of the case based on his instinct as a trainee superhero: "Mr. Toombs, what did the police say about this attack?"
Adrian shook his head tiredly: "The police need us to go to the police station to inquire in detail."
Adrian had already thought that the police could not just let it go. After all, he has a big flaw, and that is his wife and daughter's flight tonight!
What could make the couple insist on sending their child abroad despite her being in school?
If it is really an important matter, there seems to be no need to let Liz go abroad as a girl to deal with it. And the timing was too coincidental. Just when they were about to leave the United States, the other party took action!
It was impossible for Adrian to trick the police in the same way he used to fool Liz.
It would not be easy for the police to find out whether he won the lottery or not.
The police were keenly aware that there was definitely something wrong here! Criminal cases are not civil cases, and the police will not change the direction of the investigation based on changes in the victim's position. Now it's kidnapping and murder. Could it be that the police stopped investigating because the victim said it was okay?
impossible.
The police realized that Adrian had lied to them, so they would be taken back to the police to record the crime.
And Adrian can only go to the police station now.
Because at least it is the safest place for his wife and daughter now!
Peter obviously also knew about this kind of thing, but he was not so shameless to tell the truth. He just comforted: "Just find out, it will be a good thing for you."
Adrian smiled reluctantly: "I hope so."
Happy said to the three Peters at this time: "Okay, I have already made an agreement with the police. You will go to Stark Tower with me now. If the police need it, just take it directly to you!"
…
In the sewer.
This time there were more people entering the sewer, and they brought enough equipment.
"Is your friend really around here?" Kai took the important witness that the redhead and the others found before to a corner of the New York sewers. This place is far away from other sewer 'residential areas' and is a relatively... poor area in the sewers. That is, those sewer passages that have been used for a long time.
Sewage and filth are everywhere here, and you can even see swarms of rats and cockroaches.
Obviously this place is not suitable for human survival.
Kai pinched his nose and asked the man whose face was so dirty that he couldn't even see his appearance.
"Yes, she lives here." The man did not dare to look at Kai, as if he was very scared.
"She...I wanted to ask before, is she a woman?"
"No," said the man, "she's a girl."
"girl?"
"Um."
Soon they came to a relatively dry passage. The man looked left and right, then opened piles of garbage, revealing a door.
"It's me! Case!" The man knocked on the door and shouted to a monitor on the door. The monitor looked cobbled together at first glance, with a lot of tape and wires on it.
"Molotov! You promised me not to bring anyone else here! You violated our agreement!"
came the voice of a young girl.
He doesn't sound very old.
"No, no, no, Case! You misunderstood, I...well, I did break the agreement. But I just want to avenge Da Vinci and the others!"
The girl opposite said nothing.
"Da Vinci is your friend too, Case!" Molotov begged.
Drop~~~~~!
After an unpleasant alarm sounded, the rusty iron door was opened!
Kai left the other officers outside and walked through the door with Molotov.
Snapped!
When they walked in, the door slammed shut.
There is still a passage inside, and it leads to several places. It's quite refreshing inside, not only is it dry, but the air is fresh and has no odor.
"Your friend... really knows how to live a good life." Kai looked at the exhaust hole in the passage and said seriously to Molotov.
"Kes... is a genius!" Molotov said.
"Shut up! Molotov!" Keyes's voice sounded in the passage: "Don't leak my information casually!"
"It's just a bit of a conspiracy theory." Molotov didn't say anything more, but just showed his hands to Kai.
After they passed through two iron doors, they finally came to a huge space... It was messy and filled with all kinds of useful and useless things. Although it looked messy, it was actually very clean. At least Kai couldn't see the garbage. No smell.
But everything here gave Kai a sense of familiarity.
Have you ever seen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
Yes, this looks like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ lair!
The home of the Rat Master Splinter!
Directly opposite the gate, there is a wall covered with screens. The pictures on it are both underground and above ground. What is interesting is that the pictures on these screens keep jumping, and different pictures will appear every time. Obviously, the monitor There are far more than the number of screens!
Zhizhi!
A mouse crawled out from the debris. It was big, looked very clean, and was wearing a small red vest.
Kai looked at the mouse. This thing looked...intelligent!
Squeak!
Along with the cry of the mouse, there were sounds of mice all around, and then the mice came from all directions like a tide!
Everyone watching that scene felt numb.
"Kes!" Molotov shouted, raising his hands.
Then an old boss's chair opposite them turned around.
“Angelina Jolie!
! "
When Kai saw the so-called Case, he couldn't help but scream!
Kai won't admit his mistake! Especially that sexy big mouth!
There was a time when Kay was obsessed with Angelina Jolie because of Tomb Raider. But the later part feels average, especially the sentence that although they had nothing, after they had freedom, they completely retreated from the trap.
But she is indeed very attractive!
"Who?"
Case and Molotov looked at Kai together.
"Uh...it's nothing, I got the wrong person." Kai waved his hand awkwardly.
Yes, the Keith in front of you is the teenage version of Angelina!
but……
"You call this a girl?" Kai asked. Angelina is like this, her appearance looks much more mature and sexy than her actual age, and I have to say, this girl's figure is really... She just wore one A small tank top and a pair of gray sports shorts.
"She is only 16, sir," Molotov emphasized.
"Wow...are all 16-year-old kids today like this?" Kai sighed.
"Are you here just to sexually harass me?" Case didn't like them judging him.
"No, no, no! We are here to ask you to take us to the lair of those monsters!" Molotov said.
Keith looked at Molotov, and after a while he asked: "Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and the others..."
"Dead. Those monsters attacked our camp. When I rushed back, they had disappeared."
Kai asked curiously: "That's..."
"My four pet turtles... I consider them my family. Case loves them and I sometimes send them to Case for foster care."
"Okay..." Are they really the Ninja Turtles?
Case looked up at Kai and curled his lips.
"The note..."
It seems that this Keith doesn't like Kai, let alone the police. But Kai was quite used to this situation. Because Kai is a representative of the power structure, many rebellious young people don't like Kai, and obviously Keith is one of them.
"Okay, Splinter! I'm not here looking for trouble, we're here to ask for your help." Splinter is the mouse master of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Case seems to be able to control mice too. . Kai used this joke to call her.
"Hey! Don't give me random names! What the hell are those Angelinas and Splinter now?"
"Angelina is a sexy female star, and Splinter is a kung fu master and ninja master. By the way, he is a sewer rat who lives in sewers and cultivates four ninja turtles to do good deeds. Get rid of violence and make peace! Okay, curious baby, let’s get down to business.”
The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard that the sexy actress Keith just curled her lips and talked about the Mouse Master.
Weird quirks.
…
Case's full name is not yet known. According to Molotov's intelligence, she came to the sewer very early, and she was a genius. She could make various practical tools from various wastes. When she was still young, she was sold through Molotov Those little inventions.
Not to mention that this thing really works in sewers, so it has always been marketable. Although it was impossible to become rich and powerful, at least it allowed Keyes to survive.
Case can then control the rats and even train them to help her do things. This is also the reason why she can find such a geomantic treasure land, and it is also the capital she relies on to survive in the sewer. Otherwise, a little girl may disappear in the sewer at any time. At best, she will just be violated, at worst, she may disappear for a while. , and then after a while her bruised body will turn up in some homeless man's pot.
The sewer dwellers may be pathetic, but don't expect anything from that to their moral standards.
Perhaps because of the four turtles, Case agreed to help them.
"How did you know the nest of those reptiles?"
Kai followed Case and finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"This is a sewer! Rats are the masters here! They may be at the lowest level in the food chain, but they are everywhere. They are more like the masters of this city than humans." Case held his own Partner Sebastian: "Right Sebastian?"
Zhizhi!
The mouse actually nodded!
"With them, the entire New York sewers are invisible to me!" Case proudly declared.
"Aren't cockroaches at the bottom of the food chain?" Kai Fei wanted to argue. After all, cockroaches are better than mice in terms of survivability, and this is a sewer, and those things are everywhere.
Keith gave him a hard look!
Then he ignored him and continued to lead the way.
As for why Case didn't give them a map and let them find it on their own... of course it's this damn place, the map is useless!
After a while, Kai couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you ask for help on the ground? You are so smart that many people will like you. You can live a better life and don't need to hide underground all day long."
Such a beautiful girl staying in the dark and dirty sewers really makes people feel sad.
"Hmph! Go up there and be caught by your government for research?" Case said disdainfully.
Kai rubbed his nose: "Well... the federal government is really bad at this."
Kai didn't forget what Stryker did under the dam in Canada. The federal government didn't treat mutants as human beings at all.
"But it's much better now. The federal government has taken the rights of mutants very seriously."
This is also true. With the emergence of all kinds of monsters and aliens, the fear of mutants by governments around the world has suddenly turned into an extremely eager desire to win over them. After all, no matter how strange mutants are, it is only human beings' own business. If If aliens really invade the earth, humanity is very likely to be completely finished!
Under this threat, the birth of mutants has given all countries in the world a direction. Perhaps humans should evolve in this direction in order to protect themselves in the universe.
When a country faces security threats all the time, it is only natural that the country values force!
"Maybe you need a family that can adopt you and let you live a normal life." Kai didn't mean anything else, just a serious suggestion.
"No! Sebastian and I live very comfortably together! If you don't disturb us!"
"Okay." Kai shrugged. He was really helpless about the fact that the girl liked mice. No family would adopt a child with a bunch of mice. That will definitely lead to bankruptcy by the health department!
Soon they came to a passage that was obviously destroyed.
"Going forward, there is the lair of the lizard people. If you can please kill them quickly. These monsters have eaten too many rats these days. Many of my friends have been eaten by them." Speaking of lizards Case also hated people with itch in his teeth.
These huge lizard monsters are obviously not vegetarians. There are only so many humans among the sewer residents, and they are difficult to catch. In contrast, rats and cockroaches are much better. They are not only easy to catch, but also in sufficient numbers! The key is, both of these things are in the lizard’s diet!
Kai secretly sighed in his heart, these monsters are not without benefits, at least they can control the number of rats and cockroaches in the sewer.
