Become Aquaman from Black Robe

The abandoned factory where the superhuman orphans disappeared is located in a remote place in the suburbs.

Generally no one comes here, only homeless people and some shady people choose to stay here for a short time.

The orphans who ran away from the Honghe Welfare Home were obviously the latter. Knowing that Walter would come to cause trouble, it was reasonable for them to choose to hide here temporarily.

What is unreasonable is that they disappeared inexplicably.

"Are you sure this is where it is?"

Standing in front of the abandoned factory warehouse, Kevin asked Titan Knight Robert again.

Robert looked around in front of the warehouse and finally nodded:

"Yes, they did disappear here."

"There are no new traces now?"

"No."

Robert answered honestly.

His ability can help him find all the traces that will exist. Before this, he also relied on his ability to find here.

However, when he arrived here, Robert could no longer see any trace of these children.

The group of orphans from the Honghe Welfare Home disappeared without a trace from this place before Robert could find them.

"First, surround this place for investigation. Others, go and protect the parents of these superhumans who have not yet been harmed."

Kevin, who also couldn't see anything after watching for a long time, decided to make this arrangement for the time being.

The security personnel of Vought Group arranged according to Kevin's orders.

During this period, Kevin looked at Robert, who was still a little trembling, and suddenly asked:

"You look like you're afraid of me?"

"..."

Robert's smile froze and cold sweat broke out.

Kevin looked at him with a smile:

"Am I that terrible?"

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing? Aren't I talking to you in a very calm tone?"

Kevin's tone was still kind, even softer than usual, but the more it was like this, the more nervous Robert became.

"Sir, I...I really didn't...really didn't use my ability on you...No, I mean, I didn't think about exploring your secrets..."

Under Kevin's 'coercion', Robert began to sweat more and more, and in the end he even began to speak incoherently, saying everything that should be said and should not be said.

Robert is afraid of Kevin.

Because of his ability to observe all details, he has studied detective science and psychology, and combined with his own abilities, he can tell Kevin's thoughts from Kevin's micro-expressions.

Because of this, Robert understood that Kevin was really thinking about getting rid of him all the time.

Maybe Kevin acted very friendly, seemed to smile to everyone, and had a sunny and cheerful look, but Robert could tell from the details that Kevin actually didn't like him.

I don't like Robert's ability, and I don't like Robert using this ability to explore himself.

Therefore, the more Robert appears to know a lot, the easier it is for him to be killed by Kevin.

Kevin and Robert were unlike any group executive he had ever seen before.

The senior leaders of the group, even Edgar, when facing Robert, knew his abilities but never expressed murderous intentions towards him.

At most, it showed alienation from him, because Robert's 'acting skills' that they were proud of no longer existed.

But that was all, they knew Robert would know what they were thinking.

Robert also knew they knew he knew what they were thinking.

Everyone knows that the game is played within a framework of rules. Robert is responsible for working for them. They pay Robert a salary and give him the power he should have, and that's it.

But Kevin...

I really want to kill him.

This frightened Robert.

He lowered his head, not daring to look at Kevin again.

Kevin did not embarrass this poor man who might have started to grow a tumor in his head. He stretched out his hand and put his hand on Robert's shoulder, squeezed it slightly, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, as long as you are honest, I won't kill you."

"Okay...ok..."

Robert replied in a trembling voice.

Kevin then took back his hand and continued to look at the factory ahead.

His thoughts were seen through by Robert, but it was actually his intention.

Kevin knew that his acting skills might not be enough in front of Robert's ability, and there was never any reason for a boss to perform when meeting his employees.

So Kevin has been acting the same from just now until now. He has never thought about controlling his expression, let alone performing.

Kevin does have the idea of ​​​​getting rid of Robert.

Compared with people with psychic abilities like the mind-reader Metzmer and Kate, a guy like Robert who can see through everything about a person based only on details is even more alarming.

Kevin can prevent psychic abilities from invading his brain through defensive magic patterns, but he cannot fully control every muscle on his face to perform a perfect performance.

But Kevin has many secrets of his own.

Although in this world where he is already invincible, even if everything is exposed, it doesn't seem to be a big deal, but no one wants their secrets to be known by some inexplicable guy, right?

The same goes for Kevin. Taking the initiative to tell his secrets and others finding out his secrets are two different things. Therefore, the Titan Knight, who can be said to be the top detective in the black robe world, has become Kevin's least favorite existence.

If it weren't for what happened today, Kevin probably wouldn't have met the Titan Knight.

But now that they have met, it is natural to let him know that if you pry into your boss's secrets at will, you will lose your life.

Robert didn't dare to say any more, let alone look at Kevin.

Kevin also completely focused on the factory in front of him, and began to think about how those group of superhuman orphans escaped from here.

And just as the Watt Group blocked the place, while Kevin and Robert were observing, a small blue light spot suddenly appeared in the open space in front of them.

The moment the light spot appeared, Kevin captured it. By the time Kevin's entire attention fell on the light spot, the light spot had become as big as a basketball.

And after a few seconds, the blue light point stretched into a transparent human shape.

To be honest, the moment the blue light spot turned into a human form, Kevin almost thought it was Dr. Manhattan from the DC Universe running here.

When he saw the blue humanoid image, Kevin was relieved.

Not Dr. Manhattan, but one of the orphans who ran away from the Red River Welfare Institution, Ghost.

The ghost's identity is a black girl.

She didn't awaken her abilities when she was a child. One day while she was growing up, she suddenly awakened her abilities and became the ghost she is now.

She became a ghost and couldn't touch anything, and other things couldn't touch her either.

Just like her ability, she became a complete ghost.

According to the nurse at the orphanage, this revenge action was initiated by the ghost in front of her, so if she could be caught here, it would be equivalent to catching the leader of this special revenge team.

The premise is that she can be caught.

The appearance of the ghost made the surrounding Walter Group employees completely vigilant.

They gathered around the ghost and pointed their guns at her.

The ghost looked around with a dull expression, her eyes blank, and she murmured to herself:

"...What happened? Didn't I escape?"

"Obviously you didn't, miss."

Kevin said to the ghost and motioned to the surrounding Vought employees to put down their guns.

For a ghost that cannot be attacked by any physical attack, firearms are the most useless thing.

Perhaps noticing Kevin's movements, the ghost realized that the man in front of him was the leader of these people.

She took a deep breath and asked Kevin in a deep voice:

"What do you want to do? Do you want to catch me?"

"To be honest, I think so, but unfortunately we don't have the means to control spirits yet, so in this world, you are free and can go wherever you want, Miss Ghost."

Kevin didn't try to attack the ghost.

Perhaps attacks with magic patterns attached could be effective against ghosts, but there was no point in doing so.

The ghost itself does not have any offensive power. Instead of using verbal threats, it is better to use gentle tactics to make the ghost stay.

Kevin spoke politely to the little girl in front of him who was probably not yet sixteen years old, and then continued:

"But my personal suggestion is that you'd better stay in the Honghe Welfare Institution, so we might be able to help you."

"help me?"

There were strange tears in the ghost's eyes, and she shouted to Kevin as if to vent her anger:

"You stopped us from taking revenge and killed my friends! This is called helping me?!"

Kevin: "?"

"I won't listen to you, and I won't stay. I will find a way to get back!"

The ghost's eyes were burning with the flames of hatred. She shouted angrily, and then she was about to crawl into the ground, trying to escape from the encirclement.

Kevin immediately stopped her:

"Wait a minute!! What did you mean by killing your friend just now!? I didn't give such an order at all!"

Kevin said and looked at the security director beside him.

He almost thought that his subordinates had deceived him into hiding, and first got rid of the group of superhuman orphans, and then reported false news to him that they had lost them, in order to cover up something.

Walter's security director broke out in a cold sweat when Kevin looked at him, and he quickly replied:

"Sir, we...we really didn't find any trace of them, let alone kill them! She is lying!"

"What?" After hearing what the security director said, the ghost who was about to escape stopped and turned to the security director angrily:

"Obviously it was you! You and the people of the motherland! Killed my friends!! You still don't want to admit your guilt?!"

"Wait... wait a minute!"

What the ghost said made Kevin confused for a moment, and he suddenly had a very ridiculous guess.

He confirmed to the ghost again:

"You mean people from the motherland?"

"certainly!"

"This is impossible. The people of the motherland have been working on the set during this period and have not come out to perform heroic activities at all!"

Before this, there were people from the motherland who went to Africa to eliminate a certain super villain.

But since that incident, the people of the motherland have not acted arbitrarily because Kevin did not allow it.

Therefore, what the ghost said, it is impossible for the people of the motherland to kill her friends.

unless……

The person who killed the ghost friend was not a native of Kevin’s world.

"Don't try to lie to me!!"

But the ghost obviously wouldn't believe Kevin's words.

She saw the motherland kill her friends with her own eyes, and even the heat vision of the motherland passed through her body. If she was not a ghost, she would probably end up with the same fate as her friends.

The ghost clearly believed what he saw and heard, and Kevin's mind was racing.

If the ghost in front of her is not a ghost from her black-robed world, but from world line A, it means that her parents have been killed by her.

But in this world, Ghost's parents were protected by the Walt Group and are still alive because of their quick actions.

So you can use this to convince her.

"Your parents!" Kevin said calmly: "I can ask your parents to come see you."

"? What nonsense are you talking about? My father... I have killed him... with my own hands...!!"

"He's not dead! If you don't believe it, you can go with me to see him. Anyway, you are a ghost. If you feel something is wrong, you can leave at any time!

"How about it, do you want to believe me?"

Kevin extends an invitation to the ghost.

The ghost looked at Kevin silently, and she thought for a long time.

Finally, under Kevin's gaze, half of her body that had been buried in the soil emerged from the soil.

"...For now, I trust you for once."

said the ghost.
