It was the beginning of September, and the group of Inhumans that Vernar had taken with him still hadn't shown themselves. The only one who had appeared was Gordon.
When he was buying food at a 24-hour fast food restaurant in Rome, Italy, he was accidentally photographed by someone, and then his trail was discovered by the polyhedron system.
But this news was not of much use.
Gaden's teleportation was world-class.
With him around, even if Werner stayed in a cave, he would still be able to enjoy a sumptuous meal from all over the world.
This also proved that Wernal hadn't fallen into a slumber. He had simply handed over all external communications to Gordon.
Luke had been on guard against Gordon at first, and had even thought of a way to leave a tracking and control nano bug on Gordon.
However, during the sneak attack on Skye that day, the nanoworms on Gordon's body had already lost their signal, so Werner must have eliminated them in advance.
On the other side, Luke had already studied the members of the afterlife who had been temporarily imprisoned in Space 2.
The special parasite was found in their bodies.
When they were "eaten" by Shriek, the people in the afterlife returned to normal.
The clear memory of being controlled made Jia Ying so angry that she almost burst.
Luke had only lost Skye, his trump card, while Vernar had taken away all of Jia Ying's powerful subordinates.
If it weren't for Big Dipper's interference, she would have to pay for it herself.
Luke didn't have to convince them himself; Jia Ying took the initiative to explain the situation to them.
This woman had been in charge of the afterlife for more than ten years, and she was good at covering up on the surface, so she still had enough prestige for now.
Therefore, the people in the next life were very cooperative with him.
No one wanted to become a puppet, and no one wanted to become a super puppet that could even lose the will to resist, a super puppet that wouldn't even blink if it was sent to its death.
It was much easier for Luke to pick these melons that weren't forcefully picked.
Unfortunately, the results of the test were not good.
Most of the Inhumans in the afterlife didn't even get to see Wornal's face before they were controlled.
What was even more terrifying was that there was a small chance that the Mutants under his control would suddenly awaken.
This time, among the two hundred or so unawakened mutants in the afterlife, five of them awakened on the spot.
Secondly, the controlled Inhumans did not need to learn and immediately knew how to control and use their superpowers.
There would never be a situation where the Awakening Fire would burn him to death and the Awakening Soil would scatter his ashes on the ground.
Among the others who had awakened long ago, Skye could easily control the shockwaves.
The long scars on Jia Ying's face completely recovered after being controlled.
The unlucky fellow who had turned into a lush green tree turned back into his human form on the spot. Only his hair was still bright green.
None of this was good news. It seemed to prove that the "god" in Wernal's body did not simply control the nonhumans.
At the very least, Luke had never heard of any control skills that could optimize the abilities of the controlled.
Fortunately, with Jia Ying's vigorous promotion, everyone in the afterlife was afraid of this kind of "good thing" and had no objection to the group temporarily staying in the "secret base".
Seven Star had already made his stance clear. Regardless of whether they found Wornal or not, he would send everyone to a secluded place within three months at most. They would no longer have to stay in the house.
He was also quite familiar with the people in the afterlife. A middle-aged man who loved to chat with little girls and never touched them would not be a bad person.
…
After an analysis, Luke pushed a report in front of Jia Ying. "This is the speculation of the experts. You have to tell me what you're hiding."
Jia Ying calmly picked up the report and quickly skimmed it to the end.
When she saw the speculation that Wernal was suspected to have a special ability to control, awaken, and enhance the nonhumans, she couldn't help but go back to the previous evidence.
She read the report at least three times and kept debating its reliability. She knew that there was a high chance that the speculation was true.
She slowly put down the report and exhaled. "What do you want to know?"
She was still playing tricks even at a time like this. Luke shook his head at the woman inwardly and said indifferently, "What made Wernal willing to use Gordon to supply him with supplies to protect the information he received from you?"
Jia Ying's heart skipped a beat. After a long silence, she said, "Most nonhumans have to go through an awakening ceremony to hold this ceremony. There needs to be a very rare item."
Luke had long speculated about this, but even the people who had awakened in the past two years couldn't say for sure what it was.
The reason was very simple.
If an ordinary person in the eighties saw a smartphone one day, could they say what it was afterwards? Obviously not.
Nonhumans only needed to awaken once, and most of them only had one chance to come into contact with this "item."
Jia Ying didn't need to explain it to nonhumans who weren't her confidants.
But Gordon was different.
As Jia Ying's confidant, he knew too many secrets about the afterlife.
Searching for such an item in the outside world had always been one of his biggest responsibilities.
By controlling Gordon and Jia Ying, Wernal had not only obtained all the inventory of the afterlife, he had also obtained clues about the item in the outside world.
So, not only had he stolen Jia Ying's team, he had also taken away her "bargaining chip" to continue as the leader of the afterlife.
Luke's expression didn't change. He simply nodded and signaled for her to continue.
Jia Ying was silent for a while before she said, "Whitehall let me touch a strange metal pillar back then and awakened me. It was seized and sealed by the SSR (Strategic Science Army), and it's probably still in S.H.I.E.L.D. "
Luke asked, "What kind of metal cylinder is it?"
Jia Ying grabbed a notebook and started to draw on it.
She had a deep memory of this object that had changed her life, and she quickly drew it.
Luke frowned when she was halfway through her painting.
By the time she was halfway through, he had already started contacting Tony.
It wasn't until a minute later that the tycoon picked up, and Luke immediately said, "Send me the item serial number BW382 that I gave you to study earlier … Hm, forget it. Where's the warehouse? I'll pick it up myself."
…
A moment ago, Tony, who had been sound asleep at home, felt a familiar prickling sensation on his skin, and subconsciously woke up.
WTF！ He cursed inwardly and looked at the bedside clock. It was 02: 13.
Resisting the urge to curse out loud, he turned his head to look at the bed.
The mechanical arm, Dumbo, was there. Above it was a holographic window with a message: "Sir, there's an urgent message from Mr. Wayne."
Tony rolled his eyes and tapped Dumbo's mechanical body grumpily. He raised his hand and pointed at the guy who had disturbed his sleep to tell him to scram.
Then, taking his hand off Pepper, he climbed to his feet in slow motion.
Dumbo waved its mechanical arm to indicate that it had received the message, before it quietly moved out.
Tony crept out and went downstairs to the research lab.
At that moment, Friday finally turned on the voice system. "Sir, would you like to connect to Mr. Wayne's communication request?"
"This bat demon always comes to me in the middle of the night." Tony rubbed his face with both hands. "Put it through."
