Elsa felt a little more relaxed when she saw Luke shamelessly flaunting his strengths.
Even though Luke was no longer a detective and the case had nothing to do with the police, it was still very reassuring.
Luke's repeated successes and the lives of countless criminals had built up this belief in her.
Besides, if he couldn't do anything, she didn't have a better candidate.
After Elsa and Elena went to keep Margaret company, Luke sat down and started to send a message to Sai.
It sounded a little fantastical, and PDD could intervene.
While it would increase Director Sai's workload, it was best for her to intern on a case that didn't involve a lot of people.
To put it more crudely, Haley wasn't enough to make Luke anxious. He wasn't that emotional.
He was willing to help find Haley's whereabouts when he could, and that was all for Elsa and Elena's sake.
In the next few days, Luke didn't go to Margaret again. Even his original self pretended to stay at home and didn't go out.
In fact, he and Selina spent most of their time in the research institute's basement, working on PDD's first official run-in mission.
Luke would only give her reminders, and Selina would make the specific decisions.
An enormous intelligence network was slowly operating.
While it wasn't in its most efficient state, it was already astonishing.
The details of Kings Park Sanatorium were pieced together bit by bit.
Luke was slightly surprised to see the name of a certain organization in the intelligence. "Joint Advanced Research Unit? As expected, Amanda's just a tool. "
He wasn't sure who the person behind the investment in the sanatorium was, but several of his subordinates used to be in the middle management of the Heavenly Eye Society.
Clearly, the Heavenly Eye Society, which Luke had wiped out half of, hadn't vanished just like that. Instead, it stubbornly rose from the ashes.
As long as the higher-ups of the American government needed secret research, such organizations would appear one after another.
Luke didn't plan to make a move on the Heavenly Eye Society right away.
Since it was already exposed to Luke, there were a lot of loopholes that he could monitor, and it was much more controllable than those organizations that didn't show their faces at all.
What he was curious about was Patient 0 in the sanatorium.
There was no information on this person online or in the internal system of the sanatorium, so his research was probably top secret.
Patients 1 to 4, who were still locked up in the sanatorium, had been found.
Through the drone's continuous monitoring of the sanatorium's staff and guards, it could be determined that these four patients with special code names all had serious mental problems and some extraordinary abilities.
However, he managed to find some information about patients 1 to 4.
Number One's brain was overactive, his emotions were cold, and his calculation ability was extremely high. He had been troubled since he was young.
In the end, he found pleasure in torturing and killing his own kind, and became a typical serial killer.
But the man had always been in Kansas, and Luke rarely went there, so he didn't run into trouble.
Number Two had a pair of wings on its back, allowing it to glide.
He was treated as a monster from birth and sent to a secret organization. After more than ten years, he was forcefully locked up and became a lunatic.
Number Three was a cosmetic surgeon a few years ago.
One day, he discovered that his hands were filled with strange abilities. He could cut open a person's skin with his bare hands and even use them to perform surgery.
After that, this guy became obsessed with dissection and could not extricate himself. He could not help but treat more than ten of his female clients as cadavers, studying them thoroughly bit by bit.
Sooner or later, he would overturn his car.
One day, a client's "sister" finally went to the police department to report a missing person case. When the police questioned her, she even listed this doctor as a major suspect.
According to this "sister", it was "when this doctor stuffed the silicone into my chest, his gaze became so intense that it was as if he wanted to cut me open."
That was right. This informant was also one of the cosmetic surgeon's clients, and successfully ended the cosmetic surgeon's dissection journey before she became a cadaver.
Number Four was a felon who was found to be abnormal during a prison physical examination and was sent to a sanatorium.
This person's ability was to transform into a murloc. He had abilities similar to a murloc, but wouldn't change into a murloc's appearance.
He could swim quickly in the water, and his skin acted like gills to extract oxygen from the water.
Luke wasn't too interested in the patients' superpowers.
He would take a look if he had a chance, and it wouldn't be a pity to give up if he didn't.
These people might be a continuation of Amanda's suicide squad.
Although Amanda was very evil, she was still capable.
The fact that Luke had destroyed several important bases of Heavenly Eye Society also put a lot of pressure on some of the officials.
These bigshots didn't care who was right or wrong, nor did they care about the members of the suicide squad, or how many ordinary people died.
All they needed to do was to nurture a team that could fight against superhumans.
The sanatorium was set up in Lord Niu, seemingly to satisfy Zero's request to stay in New York.
This information had only been accidentally eavesdropped on two researchers, and there was no written evidence.
In fact, all of Zero's information had already been packed away.
Luke's two Mountain Cleavers and a bunch of ant drones had been staying in the sanatorium, but they hadn't found any detailed information on this mysterious Zero.
But from the superpowers of patients 1 to 4, it could be roughly inferred that Zero's superpowers definitely weren't ordinary.
Otherwise, there was no need for the researchers to set up their research in the sanatorium, and there was no way they could have sent away all of Zero's information so quickly.
If things went wrong, Zero might become a very difficult opponent.
A week passed, and Elsa and Elena both called to tell him that Margaret's mental state was getting worse and worse.
Luke simply said that he got it, then secretly went to Margaret's house that night and treated her with his three-piece ability set.
The next day, Elena called and said that Margaret's condition seemed to be improving, but she was a little forgetful and kept forgetting things.
She could only suspect that there was something seriously wrong with Margaret's mental state.
Luke told her to keep an eye out for the little widow as long as nothing happened to her.
After putting down the phone, he focused his attention back on the case.
Directly using his ability to change Margaret's way of thinking was a strenuous and unrewarding act.
Thus, he used the most economical method to make Margaret forget most things about her sister, Haley, for the time being.
But given Margaret's dependence on Haley, this wouldn't last long.
However, it probably wouldn't last for a few days.
He picked up the intelligence that Selina had just sent him and looked at the man and woman in caps and masks. He murmured, "Gotcha, Zero."
