Super Detective in the Fictional World - Chapter 1402

Chapter 1402: Severed Arm and Resurrected “Test Subject”

In any case, Batman was the number one superhero.

Between the new, hard-to-find heroes and the active number one hero, practically all the reporters chose the latter.

A moment later, Luke and Batman met at the southernmost end of Brooklyn.

Both of them appeared on camera at the same time for a while.

Batman finally disappeared into the night again, leaving Luke and Selina to deal with the countless residents who were asking for help.

The battle was always just the first step in solving an issue.

After the fighting was when problems cropped up.

Compared with directing his teammates in killing the test subjects, Luke felt that rescuing civilians and maintaining order was a lot more difficult to do.

Most problems couldn’t be solved with superpowers.

Luke had Elementary Life Force, which was a first aid skill, and not many people could help him this time.

Most of the civilians who had been attacked died immediately, and the test subjects only switched targets after biting and killing people.

It was an unlucky and sad end.

Very few people survived after being caught by the test subjects. However, this meant that the test subjects didn’t have a high kill count; otherwise, the death toll would have been far higher.

Police sirens and flashing lights were everywhere in Brooklyn and Queens.

Police cars, ambulances, firefighters, emergency rescue vehicles, and district construction trucks were deployed.

People ran around crying for help, in a panic, and looking for family.

There were also dead or bound test subjects everywhere. Many people trembled with extreme fear when they saw them. These test subjects also needed to be immediately isolated and contained.

The SHIELD agents were all very busy.

After the superhero team retreated, guarding and containing the test subjects left behind was left to SHIELD. They didn’t have enough manpower.

In short, New York was a mess that night.

Luke was treating a little girl who had hit her head when she fell, when he heard Selina’s voice in his earpiece. “Luke, come here. It’s a serious injury; the bleeding needs to be stopped.”

Luke swiftly released Light of Life through the hand he had on the girl’s head to heal the bleeding in her brain. He then gave her to her parents and ran.

Dozens of meters away, a woman was sitting against a wall in an apartment. Selina was right next to her and was pressing against her shoulder.

The woman’s arm was completely gone.

There was a strong smell of blood in the apartment as well as a test subject that had been nailed to the wall with a pointed clothes stand. It had multiple bullet holes in its head.

Luke glanced at the woman’s face and was shocked. “Misty?”

Selina nodded. “A mother and son asked me for help. They said that an officer had been severely injured and was unconscious after she saved them. It wasn’t until I arrived that I realized it was her.”

Luke went over to Misty.

Her eyelids trembled, but she couldn’t open them. Her mouth was pale.

Luke discreetly took out a tranquilizer and injected it into her neck.

Then, he ripped her shirt at the shoulder and pressed his hand to the break. He activated Light of Life and asked, “Where’s her arm?”

Selina shook her head. “It was probably chewed up by that test subject.”

Luke: “F*ck!”

Even if the arm was chewed off, they could try reattaching it and try recovering some function at the very least. However, it was chewed up into pieces?

No wonder Selina had called for him.

Misty was an NYPD colleague. In order to protect the mother and son, she had killed the test subject, but her entire arm was bitten off.

This indeed was a priority.

Luke couldn’t do anything.

He could use first aid with his super abilities and high-tech skills, but it was impossible for him to regrow a limb. He could only use Light of Life to first treat Misty’s major blood vessels and preserve her life.

“Call George Stacy. Misty is his subordinate. Tell him to contact her family,” Luke said as he carried her downstairs.

In fact, Misty’s condition was very bad, but a lot of NYPD officers were in worse shape tonight.

Most of them were dead, and wouldn’t come back to life with first aid.

Feeling on edge, Luke thought of something and sent a message to Phil via Batman’s channel to tell him that Deputy Commissioner Brad had a lot to do with this operation.

This might be a little unfair to Deputy Commissioner Brad. After all, he had only come to New York half a year ago, while Sacks had been in New York for many years.

However, this guy had helped Sacks Industries install a separate surveillance system, and the location of the attack this time was basically within this surveillance range.

Nobody would believe that Brad’s hands were completely clean.

Luke hadn’t liked this guy in the first place; this time, he was going to give New York’s innocent victims some justice.

…

Not long ago, in the cavern in the sewers where the mutant Blood God had been.

A figure suddenly sat up in the sewage below.

Climbing out, he heaved a sigh. “I miscalculated. It wasn’t Batman who showed up!”

The man was bald and had hideous scars on his face. He was as thin and monstrous-looking as the test subjects.

At that moment, the cuts on his neck and body were squirming. His waist and lower body were only connected by countless dark red blood strings, and weren’t completely stuck back together yet.

If Luke were here, he would’ve recognized that this “test subject” was the one that Daywalker had “killed” at the very beginning.

Or rather, Daywalker had taken him to be a test subject and had hacked him into pieces.

Ten seconds later, the man staggered to his feet and stumbled to the other side.

Suddenly, he paused, disbelief in his eyes. “The Blood God test subject is dead?”

Grimly, he picked up his pace until he was running.

A few minutes later, wrapped in a black bag, the man was flushed out of a sewage pipe in Queens which flowed into the ocean.

A boat immediately started moving the moment the bag fell into the ocean. The two people on it fished out the black bag and left without a word.

A few minutes later, the black bag was delivered to a helicopter on a cargo ship in the distance. The helicopter quickly took off, away from New York.

On the helicopter, a middle-aged man opened the bag with a smile.

The bald man sat up inside the black bag, and the stench of sewage filled the helicopter. The middle-aged man’s smile didn’t change as he said, “Shredder, it seems your project went well. You’ll get more funding in the future; there’s no need to scrounge up the money yourself.”

Shredder’s lips ticked up in what might have been a smile as he said, “Clairvoyant, the plan to capture Batman is an utter failure. Your prediction was completely wrong.. You didn’t expect him to have so many companions, did you?”
