For her sake, Luke didn't think much of it. Instead, he found it interesting. He nodded and said, "It's a deal. See you at eight tonight."
He then nodded at Carol, telling her not to worry, before he left the restaurant.
The two girls in the restaurant looked out the window. The boy walked to the grass dozens of meters away and said something to one of the girls. Then, they packed up and left.
It wasn't until the SUV disappeared into the bushes that Lorna turned around and asked Carol, "He's not your boyfriend?"
Carol was stunned. "How is that possible? We're … just friends."
She almost said that they weren't close, but she managed to hold herself back.
Lorna said suspiciously, "But you trust him so much. No, not only do you trust him, I feel that you'd agree even if he asked you to turn yourself in. "
Carol was a little embarrassed, but she still explained in a low voice, "He saved me twice. He didn't know me back then, but he knew that I wasn't a bad guy. He's a good guy. "
Now that Luke was gone, and Carol wasn't a strong-willed person, Lorna's rebelliousness was gone, and her mind became a lot more normal.
Thinking for a moment, she said, "Is that why he asked me if I've ever done anything bad?"
Carol nodded and hurriedly added, "He asked me the same question."
Lorna was surprised. "He suspected you?"
To put it nicely, Carol was simple and kind, but to put it bluntly, she was stupid and weak. Luke was actually suspecting her?
For a moment, Lorna's impression of Luke improved a lot.
At the very least, it proved that his questions weren't about her, but his nature.
She wanted to ask more about Luke, but then remembered that this wasn't the place for a long conversation. She rose and said, "Let's go back."
After they left the restaurant and walked on an empty path, Lorna asked, "Why does he care so much about the fact that he's done something bad?"
Carol replied without hesitation, "Because he's a detective."
Lorna was surprised. "A detective? Why didn't you tell me? No, we have to leave now. We can't rely on him. He might've notified those people to arrest us. "
Carol pulled her back helplessly.
Although Lorna was about twenty centimeters taller than her, Carol had the absolute advantage in terms of physical strength. Lorna almost stumbled. "What?"
Carlo said, "He won't send anyone to capture us."
Lorna was filled with disbelief.
She had never met anyone who didn't want to capture them, unless they didn't know who they were.
Many people wanted to drive them away once they knew that they had superpowers. The most convenient way was, of course, to call those agencies to secretly capture them.
Carol then pulled Selina forward. "I met Luke in Houston in 2003. He was a detective in the Major Crimes Division back then …"
After a while, Lorna finally relaxed a little after listening to Carlo's story.
Judging from Carol's description, this Luke had known about superpowers for a long time. He had even let Carol go and paid her to escape.
If time could change a person's attitude, then he had also noticed Carlo's change just now.
If he really wanted to tip them off, there was no need for him to come up and talk to them and alert them. This was illogical.
Could it be that I really met a good person? Lorna wasn't too sure.
It wasn't that she was being paranoid, but that she hadn't met many ordinary people who could treat them calmly and normally in the past few years.
…
On the other side, Elena asked Luke about Carol and Lorna curiously.
Luke only said that he had met the short girl because he was working on a case, and that it was his first time meeting the other girl.
Elena didn't ask any more questions.
Well, in any case, she wasn't asking because the tall girl was too beautiful.
After circling the supermarket again, Luke sent Elena back to school and went to his workshop to search for information on the Sentinel Service in the polyhedron system.
Very soon, Little Snail found the relevant information.
The reason why Luke was able to find it so quickly was because there were very few messages.
Looking at the messages, Luke knew that they had to have been sent by those superhumans.
Also, judging from the fact that Carol and Lorna didn't carry their phones with them, it was clear that the superpowers and the Sentinel Service had done a good job of keeping information confidential.
Apart from that lunatic Kilgrave, who was very arrogant because of Kingpin's protection, the other smarter superpowers kept a low profile.
There were indeed many departments in this world that hid in the dark and captured superpowers for research.
According to Carol and Lorna, the Sentinel Service wasn't anything good, or the two girls wouldn't have been so afraid at the mention of it.
The messages that mentioned the Sentinel Service were quickly deleted. Clearly, someone had purposely cleaned up this kind of data on the Internet.
More information about the Sentinel Service had definitely appeared on the Internet before, but Luke hadn't paid special attention to it before. The polyhedron system was just doing a sample backup as usual.
Now, Luke put the keywords of the Sentinel Service on his first watch list, and also linked them to information about superpowers.
From that moment on, as long as this information appeared on the Internet, the polyhedron system would immediately store it.
It wouldn't be long before a lot of clues would appear.
In the information age, the hardest part about finding someone was finding the beginning.
As long as the key conditions were locked down, it was almost impossible for anyone to completely hide their information.
Even Luke wouldn't be able to sneak out and cause trouble if he was monitored 24/7. Thus, his true self had been keeping a low profile.
The Sentinel Service wasn't a big problem, and Luke didn't think too much of such a secret organization.
What he wanted was information on superpowers.
Whether they were captured or found, it would be an opportunity for him to add to his list of abilities.
Also, he was confident that he could find them faster than the Sentinel Service.
The Sentinel Service couldn't possibly surpass Tony Stark in terms of technology. They didn't have the ability to make these scientists, who were like children of destiny, work for them.
Otherwise, they would be able to catch every superpower that appeared, and Carol and Lorna wouldn't be able to escape.
For example, Luke had agreed to meet Carol and Lorna at eight in the evening, but he now knew where the two girls were.
Unless Lorna had the ability to open a spatial gate or fly at high speed, it wouldn't be easy for them to escape surveillance.
He also had a plan for the two girls.
Carol wasn't an ambitious person. If she really wanted to live an ordinary life, all she had to do was put on a thousand masks and change her identity.
From his brief contact with Lorna, however, Luke could tell that this fifteen-year-old girl hadn't settled down yet. It was very likely that she hadn't even considered her future.
