Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1971: Prelude, Private Discussion

Werner disappeared again, and the world was peaceful once more.

Luke didn’t gain much from questioning Gordon.

Reality wasn’t a TV drama.

There was no need for Werner to reveal all his secrets and plans to these pure puppets.

The ‘transport’ list which Gordon gave Luke only enabled him to catch two groups of four Afterlife Inhumans in New York and Tokyo.

!!

The four people who had been caught had only received the order to hide. They didn’t know exactly what Werner was going to do.

However, based on how Gordon had transported these people to cities with more than ten million people, Luke had a theory.

Thanks to Luke’s surveillance in New York and Tokyo, the Inhumans were caught.

But there was nothing he could do about other places like Moscow, Seoul, New Delhi, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, and so on.

Werner seemed to have sensed that the way the Bat Squad collected intelligence was related to the Internet and cell phones, so he had already instructed these Inhumans to hide during the day and move around only at night, and to hide their figures and faces.

This was indeed very effective against Luke’s multifaceted system.

Most of the people in big cities weren’t as well-off. Even if a photo was posted, the image resolution was poor.

The TV dramas which bragged about restoring pixelated images were dumb.

Just like that, October arrived.

Phil looked for Knight one day. “Call Tony. Let’s find an absolutely safe place to talk.”

Naturally, Luke had no objections.

Soon, the three of them met in the basement of the Avengers base.

Tony went to the bar and asked, “Do you want anything to drink?”

Phil: (“_”)

A moment later, Director Phil, who had obtained clearance, zoomed in on a map of the world.

Several cities turned into flashing red dots with the numbers 1 to 4 and a specific time.

Phil tapped the first dot, and an enlarged map with detailed information immediately appeared: New Delhi, 13 September 2011, 6:14am.

Suspicious target: Salman Khan, male, 16 years old…

Phil watched for a moment before he moved on to Mexico City No. 2, Moscow No. 3, and Cairo No. 4.

He skimmed through it, and it took him less than five minutes before he looked at Tony. “Cities where the outbreaks happen are always far away. With these people who suddenly develop superpowers, the locations and times when they first appear are closer to each other, before the activity suddenly stops. Is this how Werner operates?”

Tony nodded. “Bruce and I suspect that every time a superpower incident happens, he’ll be in the area. As long as the Inhumans awaken, he’ll immediately take them away. He has a precise time frame for his operation. By the time we get there, he’s already gone.”

Phil was stunned. “Then why didn’t you let me know? I can get New SHIELD to help.”

Then, he saw Tony’s shifty expression, while Luke looked away.

Phil cursed inwardly, while good manners prevented him from doing so out loud. “Gentlemen, our New SHIELD has always dealt with superpowers.”

Hearing that, Luke simply turned his face away.
