A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

Luke never makes promises easily.

Of course.

He often promised to say something to various people who were his enemies. As long as you tell the truth, I promise not to kill you.

But that's the art of war.

There is a saying in the art of war that soldiers never tire of deceit.

He said it casually, and the other party believed it, and then he chopped him off. This was not because he was unfaithful, but because the other party was too stupid.

But except for his enemies, Luke never makes promises easily.

Because a gentleman has a saying, a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Luke considers himself a gentleman, so he rarely makes promises to his friends or women.

But as long as he made a promise, he kept his promise.

and……

He and Rachel had been engaged for almost a year, and it was indeed time to give Rachel a serious status.

Luke is not averse to marriage.

What's more, Rachel is indeed a perfect match for him to marry.

He and Rachel can be regarded as typical examples of sharing weal and woe.

and so!

The time is just right when things here are settled.

After Lu Ke hung up the phone, he thought in his mind, then felt a gaze coming towards him and looked up.

into the eye.

Helen Zhao, who was not far away, was wearing a white coat and a mask, looking straight at him.

Luke smiled.

"Do you have anything to ask, Dr. Zhao?"

"No."

Helen Zhao quickly regained consciousness and shook her head, lowered her head again, and looked at the data running on the screen.

Luke didn't say anything when he saw this.

after awhile.

Helen Zhao couldn't help but raised her head again and looked at Lu Ke.

"Chief Dane."

"Just call me Luke."

"I……"

"I insist."

"……All right."

Seeing this, Zhao Hailun took off the mask and took off the mask on his face. While the machine was running for analysis, he put his hands in his white coat and sat across from Lu Ke. He looked at Lu Ke curiously.

"Luke, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your phone call."

"fine."

Luke put away his phone and waved his hand: "Since I answered it here, I'm not afraid of anyone hearing my call."

Helen Zhao smiled, and then couldn't help but ask: "The caller just now should be your fiancée, the number one female host on the West Coast, Rachel."

Luke nodded.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Does she know what's going on here?"

Helen Zhao said curiously: "I mean, does she know about Lucy and Mengmeng?"

Luke hummed: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Helen Zhao shook her head: "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious."

Luke smiled.

"What are you curious about?"

"How did your fiancée react to this?"

"reaction?"

Gossip is a woman’s nature.

Even Helen Zhao is no exception.

She looked at Luke, who seemed a little confused after hearing this, opened his mouth, and couldn't help but ask: "I mean, after she knew that Lucy and Mengmeng were there, didn't she have anything to do with it?" Reaction?"

Luke moved his eyes upward and touched his chin, seeming to be thinking seriously.

next second.

Lu Ke came back to his senses and looked at Helen Zhao again.

"Instructing me to find Lucy and Mengmeng as soon as possible. Does this count as a reaction?"

"..."

This was Rachel's reaction.

But Lu Ke can guarantee that such a reaction is definitely not the reaction that Dr. Zhao in front of him expected.

A trace of confusion flashed in Helen Zhao's eyes.

"Gone?"

"Gone."

The corner of Luke's mouth raised, and he looked at Helen Zhao thoughtfully: "Well Helen, what do you think, or what do you think Rachel should give is a reasonable reaction."

Any reaction is fine, as long as it's not this.

Helen Zhao shrugged.

But she didn't say this.

After all, she can't say it directly. I still hope that after your fiancée finds out about Lucy, she will have a big fight with you and break up. After that, my best friend Lucy will be able to rise to the top again based on the mother's wealth. .

After all, this should be the normal reaction of most women after learning that their fiancé or husband has an illegitimate child.

At least that’s what Helen Zhao thinks.

But it's obvious.

Rachel is no ordinary woman.

But it’s right to think about it.

The federation.

And Luke is also the director of the FBI, the federal government's first legal violence agency, in Los Santos, California.

Can the fiancée of such a man be an ordinary woman? Definitely not!

Helen Zhao raised her eyebrows, then stood up, smiled politely with Lu Ke, and then returned to her work station, looking at the machine screen in front of her in a trance with ten minutes left.

Luke leaned on the chair, tilted his head, and looked at Helen Zhao who was standing beside the analyzer with interest.

Men who work hard are the most handsome.

The same reason.

Women who work hard are also the most beautiful.

The laboratory light shot out from the ceiling and fell on Zhao Hailun and the test bench in front of her.

The picture is beautiful.

In an instant, a word appeared in Lu Ke's heart.

The gentleman said.

Delicious food!

Wait a moment.

Well, Lucy is still missing. Is it time to think about this kind of thing?

Luke shook his head and cleared away some of the thoughts that suddenly appeared in his mind.

There was a beeping sound.

After the instrument in front of Zhao Hailun made a sound, the indicator light of the instrument lit up green, symbolizing completion.

Luke came to his senses, stood up from his seat, and walked over.

"All right?"

"Ah."

Helen Zhao turned her head and glanced at Lu Ke, who was walking towards her in a suit and leather suit. She nodded and looked at the paper being printed by the instrument.

Lu Ke walked to Helen Zhao and looked at the machine that was working hard to spit out paper.

A wisp of woman's fragrance reached the tip of Luke's nose.

Fragrant.

Beautiful and delicious.

soon.

The analysis data is printed out by the machine.

Helen Zhao looked at the analysis report in her hand, glanced at it, and landed on one of the data values, her expression became a little surprised.

"Oh my God, so high?"

"It's different from what Lucy gave you that day."

"Yes, the adrenaline in this is almost several times that of what Lucy gave me. It is not the same substance at all, but this reagent is not as stable as what Lucy gave me that time." Zhao Hailun said, and then slightly He was stunned for a moment and looked up at Luke: "Have you guessed that they are not the same substance?"

Luke shrugged.

"That's right, but is it possible that these two substances came from the same place?"

"Hold on."

Helen Zhao said something and was about to go to her computer, but she looked at Lu Ke, who was standing in front of her, as straight as a cypress tree, and looked up at the handsome Lu Ke: "...can I have a moment? ?”

Luke reacted and moved out of the way.

"Feel sorry."

"Need not."

Helen Zhao grabbed the test report in her hand and came to her computer desk. Then she read the blood test report that Lucy gave her at that time and compared it with the data on the test report in her hand.

"Just from a data analysis point of view."

"The blood Lucy brought here contains very little adrenaline, but yours far exceeds its concentration."

"But in terms of stability, yours obviously has traces of artificial addition and synthesis."

"synthetic?"

Lu Ke walked to Helen Zhao's desk, pulled up a chair next to him, sat down, and looked at the data on the computer screen: "Didn't I say before that this thing cannot be synthesized artificially?"

Helen Zhao glanced at Lu Ke who was doing it next to her, and explained: "I just said that adrenochrome cannot be synthesized, but if you want to inject this thing, you must combine it with other substances, because if it is just a simple injection Adrenochrome is addictive."

Luke nodded thoughtfully.

Through the internal data connection, Zhao Hailun put the data just read by the machine together with the blood analysis that Lucy brought over, and then pointed to several of the obviously different values ​​​​that were matched by the system: "Look, here, There are also here and here. The composition of these two substances is obviously higher than that of other substances. It can be concluded that although the potion you took has solved the problem of adrenochrome being unable to survive without being separated from the living body, it has not solved his problem. Stability, and, in order to maintain the activity of adrenochrome, directly geometrically increases its power.”

Luke shook his head.

Looking confused.

As he said, he instilled a lot of knowledge in the main god space.

But among them, there were only three that he did not instill.

Computer technology is one.

And the creature in front of me is one of them.

Zhao Hailun saw this, thought for a while, and explained: "If the effect of a normal injection of epinephrine is one, then the effect of the potion you brought is several times that. No, look at the data, it is a hundred times more effective. ”

Luke touched his chin: "What would happen if a baby was injected with this?"

Helen Zhao was slightly startled, looked at the data on the computer, and frowned: "What will happen if the baby is injected with this?"

Luke nodded.

"Correct."

"I do not know."

"Guess."

Luke encouraged: "Science is all about making bold assumptions and careful verification."

Helen Zhao pursed her lips, looked at the data, and brainstormed in her mind: "If you let me guess, if a baby is injected with this dose of medicine, the baby will probably grow rapidly in a short period of time, and may even grow faster in a short period of time. It goes directly from infancy to old age in a matter of days.”

Luke raised his eyebrows.

She is worthy of being recognized as the leading female scientist in the Marvel Universe.

"you guessed right."

"what?"

Helen Zhao came back to her senses and looked at Lu Ke who said something: "What did I guess right?"

Lu Ke pointed at the data report in Zhao Helen's hand: "This potion was found from the 'Frontier Life', and in the autopsy room there, several bodies were found in their twilight years, but in reality they were... It’s still the body of a baby.”

Helen Zhao’s eyes widened.

After Luke finished speaking, he pointedly looked at the blood test data Lucy brought on the computer: "I'm curious now where the blood Lucy brought came from."

One thing is for sure.

No matter where Lucy got this blood.

If you find out who gave Lucy blood, you can find the gangster who made Lucy disappear voluntarily.
