Chapter 387 Do You Want to Be a Superhero?

"Are you sure you can do it in your current state?"

At SHIELD's secret flight base, Melinda looked at the very depressed Skye in front of her and couldn't help but feel worried.

They have just received a new mission and need to go to France to investigate the "Ten Commandments Gang" that has become active again in recent days.

But looking at Skye's current state, Meester is worried about whether Skye can concentrate on doing this well.

This girl hasn't slept since last night, and judging from her current appearance, it seems that she will have a good rest this morning.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. At worst, I'll sleep on the plane for a while. It won't delay the mission."

Skye waved her hands, she was just confused and anxious.

Ever since several people found the paper about "Carl Johnson" by chance this morning, Skye had a vague feeling that she might really be inextricably linked to this Carl.

Because in her extremely vague memory, it seemed that her father was indeed a doctor wearing a white coat.

Skye read through the paper that was criticized as heresy by the medical community, and also searched for information about Karl through his acquaintances on the dark web. Everything that could be regarded as information was completely turned over by Skye. .

The result is that this man named Carl Johnson is indeed a Frankenstein. He has conducted many inhuman experiments without permission, causing huge psychological impact on many families in succession.

Even if the targets of his research are dead people, who can tolerate the remains of their dead relatives being arbitrarily used by a guy?

Skye was very afraid that her father was really such a lunatic. She was reluctant to admit it, but there was always a voice deep in her heart telling her that this man was his father.

"No...no! You are not my father! No, you are not!"

In a trance, Skye, who finally fell asleep, was awakened by a nightmare again. In the dream, the man named Carl actually held a scalpel and sutures, chased him and called him his daughter, and ordered him to be her living experiment subject. !

"Having a nightmare?"

Leaning against the door of the airplane rest room, Leni looked at the girl on the bed who was startled into a cold sweat.

You don't need to think about it to know that this girl is probably having a nightmare.

"Hug...sorry, I..."

After taking a few deep breaths, Skye tried to calm down her violent heartbeat. Thinking back to the nightmare just now, she felt a little scared for a moment.

"No need to apologize to me. Anxiety is normal. I suggest you take a shower first. They are all worried about you."

Leni looked Skye up and down and made sure that there was nothing wrong with this girl, then she felt relieved and exited the room.

But before she could take a few steps, she seemed to suddenly remember something and walked back again.

When he opened the door and was about to speak, he saw Skye changing clothes on the bed.

"Ah? You...do you have anything else to do?"

Skye's movements froze in place. Although we were all women, it didn't matter, but if someone suddenly looked at her while she was changing clothes, she would still feel a little uncomfortable.

"Yeah, it's okay. I just suddenly remembered that I forgot to give you that thing."

Leni coughed slightly, then turned her head away without any trace.

In my heart, I was frantically warning a certain man that if you dare to look around, I will kill you immediately!

"thing?"

Skye didn't react for a while, but after seeing Leni reach out and make a rectangular gesture, she immediately realized what exactly Leni was pointing to.

"You mean the obelisk?"

When he mentioned this, Skye suddenly remembered what he had experienced during the New York War, and his face couldn't help but look a little weird.

"Speaking of which, do you think that obelisk is a little weird?"

"eccentric?"

"Yeah, for example, can he talk or something?"

"ha?"

Leni had a question mark on her face.

What kind of joke is this girl kidding herself? How could the obelisk be able to talk? It was a dead object, not Voldemort's Horcrux.

"Yes, it can talk. During the battle in New York, I'm pretty sure it was talking to me and asked me to open the box and so on..."

Seeing that Skye's expression didn't look fake, Leni couldn't help but put away her funny thoughts.

However, when his consciousness sank into the warehouse and he carefully inspected the suitcase, he found nothing suspicious at all.

Even the system only gave the same introduction text as the previous obelisk.

"[Terrigan Crystal] is a highly concentrated energy substance that can bestow superpowers on a certain type of special group of people. Energy level: Level II. Redeemable points: 15,000."

Leni touched her chin. She didn't think Skye would joke about something like this casually. Maybe there was something weird about this obelisk.

"You should take a shower and change clothes as soon as possible and come down. I'll wait for you in the laboratory."

It seems that this trip to Europe will not be boring anymore.

…

Time goes back to Christmas Eve a few months ago, when Leni spent Christmas night with Skye and Mester at Uncle Ben's house. The three of them crowded into the small room where Leni once lived, laughing and talking to each other. Whisper.

"Hey, do you want to be a superhero?"

Lying on the bed, Leni pondered for a moment and suddenly asked the two of them in a half-joking tone:

"Just like the comics that little Parker reads, he can fly, escape, and..."

"Of course I do! It's so cool to think about it! I loved Superman when I was a kid!"

Skye sat up suddenly from the bed, like a middle school student who hasn't graduated yet, and began to tell the embarrassing story of his fantasy of becoming Superman when he was a child.

Meister on the side didn't say anything, but looked at Lainie thoughtfully.

"What if... now you have the opportunity to become a superpower? Would you consider it?"

Looking at Skye's somewhat funny and exaggerated performance, Lainie smiled and sat up, the meaning of the words was self-evident.

"Ah? Now?"

Skye's movements froze, and he suddenly remembered something, and then realized what the superpower Lainie was talking about was.

"You mean... the obelisk?"

Laini didn't say anything, and didn't keep it a secret anymore. She simply reached into the void and pulled out two identical suitcases from it.

"Wait! Two? How can there be two boxes?"

Not to mention Skye, even Meister, who had been lying on her side watching the show, was shocked. She clearly remembered that Lainie had stolen an obelisk from the guy named Jing Xin Youliang, so where did the other box come from?

"It's a long story. You don't have to care about the details. The other one was actually obtained by chance a long time ago. At that time, the investigation team had not yet been established, and the bureau didn't know about it."

Laini blinked at the two of them, indicating that they should keep it secret.

The two looked at each other after hearing this, and they saw shock in each other's eyes.

One piece of this magical metal can be said to be invincible, and Lainie actually has two pieces in her hand. Who is she?

Oh, a celestial being, that's fine.

"So...you plan to let us use these two obelisks?"

At this point, even if Skye was slow to react, he realized Lainie's plan.

For a moment, Skye was at a loss. Such a valuable thing, Lainie actually said she would give it away. This... What should she do?

"If you are worried that you will be petrified into a sculpture like Jing Xin Youliang, then I can assure you that my alchemical potion is enough to remove its petrification control on you. Even if you fail to obtain superpowers, I can guarantee your personal safety."

Lainie took out her alchemical crystal from the void. The Great World Instrument that can remove all abnormal states is enough to eliminate the negative impact of the obelisk and ensure safety without worries!

Looking at the two alchemical crystal balls in Lainie's hand and the two silver-white suitcases with the SHIELD logo printed on the bed, Skye was shaken.

"Are you sure we will be fine?"

Lainie thought about it, and did not give an answer immediately, but asked the system again.

[The Great World Instrument can remove all abnormal states of the current character, including the petrification effect! ]

As above, this is the answer given by the system.

Lainie nodded and affirmed Skye and the others.

However, this obviously did not give Skye confidence, especially the hesitation of Lainie just now, which further confirmed Skye's doubts.

"You hesitated just now, didn't you? You hesitated, didn't you? You were not sure, right?"

"How could I cheat you?"

"Don't come on! You cheated me many times, I don't want to be your guinea pig, and besides, why don't you use it yourself?"

Lainie rolled her eyes when she heard it, thinking if I could use it, wouldn't I have used it earlier?

But I'm not an Inhuman, I'm a celestial being, I will definitely be petrified if I use it, then who will help me remove the abnormality?

But Lainie couldn't explain it naturally, so she had to talk about something else.

"I... I'm already a superpower. It's useless to use one more. It's just a waste of resources. Isn't it just right to give it to you to try?"

"I'm not! You're just hesitating. You just want to trick me!"

Skye was unwilling to do that. As he said that, he backed away, fearing that Lainie would force the suitcase on him. In the end, he simply backed away to the bed and almost sat on the ground.

"I'll think about it."

However, what was unexpected was that Meister on the side suddenly said something shocking.

"Hey? Are you serious? This thing is very dangerous?"

Skye couldn't believe it. Is this still the mature and steady Meister he knew?

In response, Meister just smiled with a meaningful look on his face.

"I didn't say it for sure. I'm just considering it. It won't hurt. And as you said, who doesn't want to be a superpower?"

"Isn't that right, Lainie?"
