In the following days, Selina once again took over the detective's daily duties. She was in charge of driving, investigating, and handing over tasks.
Luke was like an idle fish, following her around to watch the show.
He only told Selina that he was comprehending the deeper mysteries of the Kunlun Qi-Training Technique, and she didn't ask anything else.
It was impossible to be lazy.
On the surface, the two of them looked like idle fish, getting off work early every day and going home, but when they got home, the other half of their daily mission began.
Selina had all kinds of training and courses, and Luke couldn't just sit around.
Apart from when they were eating and resting, they were usually busy with their own things. Naturally, Selina wouldn't watch Luke work the whole time.
However, from the planning, equipment, personnel, and finishing up, one could tell how much time and effort he had to put in.
Most of the time, when she thought that Luke couldn't have thought of something, he would immediately come up with a perfect plan to solve it.
More than once, Selina suspected that Luke didn't need to sleep. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so much time to do all these things.
She had noticed that Luke had been slacking off a lot when he was working as a detective in the last few months.
Not only did she not complain about his laziness, but she was also relieved. At least this proved that he still needed to rest.
Many things had happened in the past few days.
From the Undead Monsters to the Experimentals, from the ancient witches to the Battle of New York, none of these enemies were easy to deal with.
After that, the number of members in his team also increased rapidly. Now, there were more than two digits.
All of these required a lot of time and energy to deal with.
It was normal for him to be tired and so relaxed. Selina really needed to have a talk with him — at the very least, to make sure she got enough sleep every night.
Her physique was getting better and better, but she still needed five to six hours of sleep every day to ensure that nothing went wrong during work and training.
Occasionally staying up late for a day or two was not a big problem, but if it was for a long time, there would be problems.
Her sleeping time had always been relatively stable, so there was no such risk.
If something happened to Luke because of his mental state, they would be in big trouble.
Yes, that's it! She was just worried that this guy would affect her work.
Luke didn't know what Selina was thinking.
Although he had all kinds of abilities and could understand all of her thoughts, this was the last thing he wanted to do.
Unless he sensed an obvious abnormality through Mental Communication, he would not use his ability on his own people.
Omniscience and omnipotence had never been his goal.
Only a god could receive such treatment.
Knowing other people's secrets doesn't make a person's life better. On the contrary, it makes it worse.
Because you will find that everyone around you has a side that you can't accept.
For example, otakus would discover that the goddess would also pick her nose and feet. She would even personally smell and taste them.
Similarly, Batman, who was regarded as a god by a lot of people, had to eat, drink, poop, and sleep every day. He couldn't wear the Batsuit all the time.
With Selina's help, Luke left his level-two clone in New York.
The level-1 doppelganger quietly left New York and headed to the famous cities of crime in America.
The reason why he was so enthusiastic was that Luke's Strength attribute happened to be one point short.
His remaining base points could only increase his Strength attribute to 59, unable to reach 60. Only with 60 points would he be able to learn the Elementary Duplication ability of the superpowered trio, Risdaisy.
It was an ability that Luke had always wanted.
Even with the appearance of the Thousand Faces System, it could only alleviate his need for this ability. It could not replace it.
If he wanted to get another base point, he had to reach level 23. The 1.7 million EXP required to level up was not a small number.
The extra clone could be sent out to do something that wasn't convenient in the past.
Batman had already been "sacrificed," and it should be time for other horses … Ah no, other superheroes to take the stage.
This would also reduce the pressure on the special forces in the future.
Also, the urgency of the battle in New York made Luke's arrangements a little unnatural.
His whereabouts had already aroused some of his teammates' suspicions.
Frank must have thought about the possibility that Puncher and Batman were the same person.
Mindy had always felt that V and Batman were very similar, but V hadn't appeared during the battle in New York, which didn't match her feelings about him.
A person with a strong sense of justice like V shouldn't have been absent from the battle in New York.
Of the two aliases, Puncher wasn't a big problem.
He almost didn't have any presence and rarely took action.
When he met Frank, Frank didn't have any superpowers, and there wasn't enough equipment to detect him.
When the opportunity was right, he could use a robot to replace Puncher.
After all, he was like a messenger, and he was indeed a messenger.
Luke, on the other hand, liked V a lot.
V also interacted a lot with Damon and his daughter. He was also the "mentor" of the trio of superpowered girls, and a "celebrity" who had killed more than a hundred Continental Hotel assassins.
Thus, it was time for V to go on a "national tour."
Just like that, the days calmed down for the time being.
Clone No. 2 was already using V's identity to farm points, but V's persona was to do whatever he wanted.
He wouldn't deliberately hide his actions, but he also wouldn't deliberately let people watch.
In several operations in Chicago, he took down the large warehouse of the illegal drug syndicate there and seized more than five tons of various types of goods.
Destroying them gave Luke more than 100,000 experience and credit points.
On the other hand, this large drug syndicate was still suspicious of each other, and thought that there was a mole.
The bigshots of the syndicate all felt that the guy in the smiley mask was definitely a smokescreen for a mole.
What did he mean by killing fifty to sixty guards in the warehouse and singing a weird rap while doing it? That was bullsh * t.
Did they really think this was an Indian movie? One person could still sing and dance after killing dozens!
Luke was very satisfied with the situation.
This way, he could at least delay the spread of V's news for a while longer. The longer it spread, the more drugs he would clean up, and the more experience and credit points he would gain.
Compared with a massacre, it was undoubtedly easier to directly destroy the drugs.
Killing a few hundred bad guys would cause too much of a stir, but destroying a few tons of drugs only required a thought. In any case, he could throw a lot of drugs into the Great Lakes and the ocean.
It was only then that Luke took a day out to spend with Elena.
After the battle in New York, the female artist, who had been immersed in painting, also sensed that something was wrong.
On the traditional media and the Internet, pictures of Chitauri soldiers, aircraft, bug warships, and Batman carrying peaceful weapons were everywhere.
She wasn't stupid. Of course, she realized that there was something wrong with her previous two paintings.
Luke could only take the time to come over a few days ago to temporarily calm her fear and uneasiness.
It was only on this day that he used all of his abilities to make her forget about the two paintings.
But the memories of the paintings wouldn't disappear. They were just sleeping in a corner.
Elena would definitely think of them in the future — for example, when she painted the prophecy again.
But she wouldn't be so flustered then. Luke would make her believe that the two of them would share the secret.
