After dealing with Jennifer, there weren't any problems on Mindy's side.
The veteran team member, who had just come of age, started work a month earlier than the new supervisor, Jennifer. Luke had V talk to her father and Mindy, and Mindy took office the next day.
After all, she had grown up chopping up gangsters with a knife, and didn't have Jennifer's moral obsession at all.
Thus, she didn't have to take on "White" like Jennifer, and could take part in managing most of PDD's affairs.
Just like that, Jennifer was assigned a full-time job, while Mindy helped with the rest of Selina's work.
Selina's workload was reduced to about half of what it used to be, and with Mindy as a comprehensive assistant, she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Now that Director Sai had a new assistant, Luke was finally let off the hook. He continued to bury himself in the research lab to study his new and old abilities.
At that moment, the problems left behind by Wernal started to appear.
The aftermath wasn't big, but it lasted for a long time.
The Inhumans it had sent to New Delhi and Mexico City weren't found.
Over the past few months, one or two awakened Inhumans would pop up in New Delhi and Mexico City every few days.
Luke had his level-two clone search for them for more than a month, but to no avail.
It was very likely that the teams of Inhumans that were sent out had used their respective superpowers to secretly drop purified Terrigen crystals.
These two cities had a population of more than twenty million, and the people at the bottom were very chaotic. Trying to find a few people with superpowers who didn't show themselves in the chaos was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Wernal had already been locked up in Space 2, and these awakened Inhumans wouldn't be under his control.
The effects and control of Inhumans who were alone were very weak, and it was very difficult for them to cause a major incident.
Most people would scare others when they awakened, and they would also scare themselves silly.
There were even fewer people who could figure out the seriousness of the matter from the very beginning and keep it a secret.
By the time they roughly figured out what had happened to them, the agents of the Avengers, SHIELD, and PDD had already arrived and taken them away.
The only thing that Luke wasn't too satisfied about was that the Inhumans' abilities were too strange.
Of the many Inhumans that he had caught in the past few months, only Carl's ability could be learned from him.
Karl's absorption ability allowed him to transform his body into a similar substance after coming into contact with it. If the substance exceeded the limit of his ability, he would not be able to transform. However, there was no limit to the duration of the successful transformation.
Luke's disabled ability, on the other hand, could only simulate muscles of a similar nature for about an hour, but it could be canceled and used at any time.
There were dozens of Mutants who had awakened in the afterlife, and Vernar had created more than a hundred of them. The total number of Mutants was over two hundred, and they could learn twelve different abilities.
Excluding the inferior versions that duplicated Luke's abilities and the ugly versions that he could learn but didn't dare to learn, there were only six real gains.
The disabled version of the yo-yo was named Ten Times Power Burst, Muscle Expansion was named Muscle Tyrant, and Body Transformation was named Elementary Camouflage. In addition to the Sticky Candy ability that he had previously obtained, these four abilities all belonged to the physical category.
On the other hand, Psychic Interference and Psychic Power Control were mental types.
A hexagon was used to show the composition of Luke's superpower, which was in the shape of a cone, with one end big and one end small.
He was extremely lacking in elemental and ranged attacks, and could only rely on technology to barely make up for it.
But Luke had never given up on his dream of becoming a top ranged player. Who said that a super meatshield couldn't have the heart of a top ranged player?
…
It was May 2012, and Elena, who had just returned from a global tour, contacted Luke in the middle of the night.
He had thought that she wanted to have coffee with him, but that wasn't the case.
The moment he arrived at Elena's apartment in New Jersey, Luke saw that she was asleep on the couch with a thin pajamas hanging on the floor.
She had been back from the tour for more than a month, and hadn't had time to adjust to the time difference.
In the middle of the night, this "inspiration" suddenly came to her. Like a puppet controlled by a mysterious power, she got up and drew half a painting without even putting on her clothes.
After barely managing to call Luke, she couldn't help but lie down on the couch.
Luke stretched out his hands and used his Telekinesis to bring the easel to the couch. At the same time, he grabbed a blanket and covered the female artist's voluptuous body.
After laying her curled up body flat, he sat down and gently comforted her to dispel her anxiety.
Elena, who hadn't been in a deep sleep, faintly sensed the familiar caress. Her eyebrows relaxed, and her slightly rapid breathing calmed down.
Luke, on the other hand, was already carefully examining the "prophetic painting" in front of him.
Elena's prophetic painting couldn't predict everything. For example, she hadn't sensed anything when Wernar appeared in the Honeycomb earlier.
But as long as she could draw it, it meant that it wouldn't be a small matter.
Luke had wanted this ability for a long time, and he didn't need to gamble.
It was just that the Real Dream had satisfied Elena's wish for a perfect date, and her list of abilities was completely open to him.
The ability of the prophetic painting could be learned partially, and the prerequisite was to obtain a related mental ability. For example, "Death Foresight" from Nishiki Chida's adopted daughter, Xue Xu.
Luke's ability after learning it wasn't just painting anymore, but a mutation of Death Foresight, which would allow him to sense certain targets that might pose a great threat to him.
This sense didn't have an image or plot. At most, it would give him a stronger "premonition of danger."
Earlier, Wernar had given Luke a clear premonition of danger, which was why Luke had kept an eye on it and didn't stop until he caught it.
However, the prophetic painting was like a yo-yo, and had very different functions from Luke's knock-off version.
It didn't have abilities like Light of Life and self-healing, which Luke, the original owner, basically couldn't use after learning them.
So, Luke came very quickly when he heard that Elena had a new work.
The painting this time was a little strange. It was just a very ordinary remote street in a big city, and there was only one person in it.
Anyone who could draw a prophetic painting wasn't ordinary, so this person was wearing armor that Luke had never seen before.
The armor was mainly white, with a few black and red stripes.
The armor was symmetrical and evenly colored. The workmanship was exquisite, and the overall appearance was quite pleasing to the eye. However, its defense probably wasn't very good.
In terms of appearance, it was very traditional Stark style.
Luke narrowed his eyes when he saw the helmet.
The helmet looked very familiar, but it didn't look like Tony's Mark armor, but more like … an antman suit.
However, the person was wearing a helmet, and his face couldn't be seen at all.
Luke scanned the image into his database and immediately asked Fu to compare the figures, starting with Dr. Pym's people.
In less than three seconds, Fu gave the result: the target was 63.2% similar to Scott Lang. The distortion and error of a hand-drawn drawing could account for a difference of 28.6%. There's a good chance the target is Scott Lang.
