If Joseph planned to study theology, religion, or philosophy, Luke had to be prepared to give him psychotherapy or even physical therapy at any time.
It was impossible to do without risks.
Steve is the only real product of the Super Soldier Serum, and Dr. Banner accidentally blew himself up into a Green Fatty.
Compared with spells, these risks weren't worth mentioning.
If Joseph signed a contract with a devil one day and turned into Ghost Rider or Alexa, his soul would fall into someone else's hands after he died, and there was no way to save him.
In comparison, scientific research was relatively safer as long as you didn't use yourself as an experiment and used all kinds of precautions.
Besides, if he wanted to use science to study spells, his scientific attainments couldn't be low. At the very least, he had to reach the top level on Earth in certain subjects.
That way, no matter how smart Joseph was, it would take him a decade or two to build up his foundation.
By then, he would already be an adult, and wouldn't be as impulsive as he was when he was a teenager.
Besides, it was also unknown whether or not Joseph would change his interest in ten or twenty years later.
There was no need for Luke to interfere with a distant possibility.
It would be a joke if he aroused his little brother's rebellious mentality and helped him strengthen his determination to become a scientific mage.
…
In the following days, Joseph was a little busier.
Luke allowed him to "self-study" for two hours a day, but only for two hours. He couldn't turn into a tech geek just because his physique was a little better.
Joseph objected to this. "Why can you hide in your workshop for a few hours every day?"
Luke was surprised. "Didn't you just help me celebrate my birthday? I'm an adult. Of course I can manage my time freely. "
Joseph was lost for words. He could only blame himself for being too young.
Joseph's summer vacation was peaceful, stable, and fulfilling.
Luke, on the other hand, had a lot of things to do apart from arranging training for his brother.
His clones were frequently dispatched, and each time, he summoned three to five teammates to remotely control the prototype to assist him.
Because the situation in the United States was in chaos, it was much easier to deal with them, and they were almost once a day.
However, there weren't many big movements. At most, there were five main targets at a time, and the clones and the prototype were dispatched.
It had been more than two months since the May incident, and the chaos in the government hadn't abated. Instead, it was getting worse.
Of course, this was partly due to Luke.
He has quite a lot of information on Hydra in his hands, including many official big shots who are suspected of colluding with Hydra.
But Luke only had confessions from certain people who had been hypnotized, and didn't have much concrete evidence.
Every now and then, he would send information to the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, and the Department of Defense.
This is unlikely to bring down Hydra's partners, but there are two benefits.
The first was to alert the enemy and cause those with weaker mental fortitude to flee in fear of punishment.
This would give Luke even more targets to fish for.
Secondly, even if no one ran away, the various departments would be suspicious and investigate them.
Luke would have more time to fish in troubled waters.
After the "great era" of active and passive disappearances was over, it would be too risky for the big shots in the black notebook to "mysteriously disappear" again.
Overall, Luke's cleaning operation was very compact, but it didn't take much effort. It was a little like an assembly line.
After more than two months, he had earned 900,000 experience and credit points from slacking off. He had earned almost two Pierces.
He hadn't even touched the Hydra branch yet, but he was already very close to level 25.
At that moment, an unexpected message was sent to a certain secret channel. There was only a time and a place on it.
It wasn't until he snuck into the company in the middle of the night and waited quietly in front of a computer that the computer screen lit up.
Then, a text document opened on the screen, and the other party directly typed: "Batman?"
Luke reached out and typed on the keyboard. "Dark Knight."
There was no response from the other party. After a few minutes, he typed again: "I have a big secret that I can make a deal with you."
Luke said, "Speak."
The other party said, "You're very interested in who controls the witches, so I'll pay you a deposit first. We'll talk about the rest after you take action."
Then, a website was typed on the document, and nothing else happened.
Luke directly typed in the address on the computer and opened the website.
There was a screenshot of a satellite image with an address marked with a red dot and a simple explanation of dozens of words on the side.
After squinting at the image for two minutes, he closed the document and the website and turned around to leave.
A few minutes after he left, the documents on the computer were suddenly deleted, the browser was cleaned, and the computer shut down.
It was as if nothing had happened just now.
Two days later, another piece of information appeared on the same channel.
The other party changed locations again, but it was still the dormant computer in the office, and they were still chatting in a text document.
This time, Luke had three target locations.
He wrote them down again and left.
A week later, this channel received the third contact information.
This time, the other party was still cautious, but he spoke a lot more.
He was full of praise for the Dark Knights destroying four secret bases in a row.
In the end, the other party gave a new target address, and claimed that this was the last one.
As long as the Dark Knight destroyed this base, he would tell Luke everything he knew.
Luke smiled when he read that. That's fine. After this, it shouldn't be too much trouble for him to find out what he wanted to know.
The other party was very cautious, but he didn't know that the targets he gave this time were in one of the areas that Luke had investigated and locked down.
The four bases that had been cleared up earlier had eliminated some of his options.
Together with the "last one," Luke was certain that this address was the main base of the Advanced Joint Research Team that he had been looking for.
Witches came out of this base to stir up trouble, and the person in charge of the base was Amanda Walker.
The person who had tipped Luke off was Invisible Man, who hadn't made a move in months.
This time, Invisible Man had asked the Dark Knight to destroy the Advanced Joint Research Team's base as soon as he appeared.
After just two tests and four branch bases, he couldn't help but reveal the location of the main base.
Clearly, this guy was really in a hurry.
Could it be that the recent official storm had affected Amanda, and Invisible Man had found an opportunity to escape?
This guess was basically correct, but Invisible Man was actually in an even more dangerous situation.
Something had happened to one of Amanda's backers, and she had to clean up some "unreliable" personnel in the base for a possible investigation.
She couldn't bear to part with Invisible Man, who had helped her gather a lot of intelligence, but she had to get rid of him.
If those big shots found out that Amanda had so much black material in her hands, what awaited her would definitely be death.
