Tonight, Selina saw it with her own eyes again, and realized that Luke's combat ability was as terrifying as ever.
He and another person had easily wiped out a gang of eighty people in their lair.
Selina didn't think that she was inferior to her colleagues in the Major Crimes Division, but she was still far from Luke's combat ability.
Looking at her face, Luke continued, "I can always think of a way to deal with the problem of strength. I didn't mention it to you because it's personal, and I didn't want to drag you into this. "
Selina asked, "Aren't we partners?"
Luke sighed. "It's different. I don't have any qualms about killing those gangsters. What about you? You might be able to handle one or two of them, but what if it's like that camping trip? "
Selina opened her mouth, but couldn't give a definite answer.
She knew that she couldn't do it, and Luke knew that she couldn't do it.
She couldn't kill hundreds of people at once, even if they were gangsters who had committed heinous crimes.
It wasn't that she was being unreasonable.
It was that most people in a peaceful society couldn't accept it, and subconsciously resisted "killing."
Even the battle-hardened soldiers of the US Army could only kill three to five enemies at most.
Killing hundreds of people was definitely a minority.
If he didn't have extraordinary nerves, then he could only depend on whether he had extraordinary luck. Otherwise, mental problems would be unavoidable.
Not everyone in the US Army who was deployed was a murderer, but most of them suffered from different degrees of mental illness.
Given Luke's temper, he naturally wouldn't let her take such a risk.
She knew very well that Luke treated her as a partner in the police department, and that he had never let her participate in the more dangerous missions.
For example, it was only after she had strongly requested that he take her on the mission in Mexico last time, but she had been dealt a heavy blow in the end.
With a jumbled mind, Selina asked in a low voice, "Am I … too useless?"
Luke was amused. "What are you thinking? This isn't a movie. How can you find a beautiful, capable, and unflinching heroine who can kill people without batting an eyelid? You being able to get two of them is already far beyond my expectations. "
Selina pondered for a moment. So, she was both beautiful and capable? That didn't sound bad.
She felt a little better. "Thank you, darling."
Luke nodded. "Don't worry about it. You can take your time to think about it and let me know when you have a decision. Whether it's the same as before or other choices, it's all up to you. "
Selena nodded silently.
Luke, however, changed the topic. "But you didn't start what happened tonight, did you? Gluttony, when are you going to hide? "
The living room was silent.
Luke glanced at Selina's back and said, "I'll count to three. If you're still pretending to be dead, your food tomorrow will be dog food and goat's milk."
As soon as she said that, a golden ball of liquid emerged behind Selina. "That's not fair. Why is she fine, but I'm being punished? "
Luke took another sip of his tea. "Because she was never so reckless before you egged her on. Tell me, should I blame you or her? "
The ball-like Gluttony thought about it. "Blame … us?"
Luke burst out laughing. "In your dreams! Even if she's wrong, it's your fault. "
Gluttony's ball-like body deflated. "You're being unreasonable."
Luke nodded. "Fine, I'll be reasonable with you. Were you the one who egged her on to go out with me tonight? "
Gluttony nodded.
"Then did you remind her to be careful of being discovered, to avoid surveillance cameras, and to clean up after herself?" he asked.
Gluttony: "Huh?" What the hell was that? It had never learned that before.
When it came to reasoning, the alien dog head wasn't a match at all, and was instantly defeated.
It was also announced that it would only be able to eat dog food and goat's milk tomorrow.
Naturally, Gluttony would suffer the most from this punishment.
In any case, Dollar was a dog, and it was very satisfied with dog food and goat's milk.
Looking at Gluttony, who had almost turned into a puddle, Luke got up and patted its golden jelly-like body. "Okay, go back to Dollar."
In the end, the moment his left hand touched Gluttony, the golden liquid spread out.
Luke frowned. "Get down."
Gluttony: "Huh? What energy is this? It's delicious. "
Luke's face turned cold, and he bellowed, "Get lost."
The golden liquid, which had only just spread to his wrist, suddenly exploded and flew out.
Gluttony screamed in pain. "Ah, it hurts! What energy is this? It hurts so much. "
Luke raised his left hand and checked the system notifications.
There was nothing wrong with his hand, and there were no warnings from the system. Only then did he relax.
Looking at Gluttony, who had curled up into a ball again and was shivering, Luke raised one finger. "Just this once. I accidentally touched you this time. Don't let it happen again! "
Gluttony didn't say anything. It wriggled its body into Selina's room and returned to Dollar's body.
Selina was dumbfounded. "How did you do it?"
Luke hadn't done anything just now, and she didn't think that he had broken the symbiotic connection with Gluttony by shaking his body, but Gluttony had been blown away just like that.
She didn't know how to describe the situation except as "blown up."
Luke spread his hands. "I'm very talented."
Lost for words for a moment, Selina nodded. "Okay."
It seemed like a perfunctory answer, but she didn't think it was necessarily the truth.
If it wasn't a talent ability, how could Luke have broken the symbiotic connection with Gluttony?
Luke didn't think too much of it. After saying goodbye to Selina, he went to the basement to destroy the equipment and clothes he had used tonight.
On the other side, Selina took a shower and returned to her room. She closed the door and lay down on the bed.
Gluttony popped out from behind Dollar. "Selina, I discovered a secret of Luke's."
Selina hummed and didn't continue the topic.
Gluttony found that odd. "Haven't you always been curious about his secret?"
Selina shook her head. "He didn't tell me not because he doesn't trust me, but because he's … too cautious. So, you'd better keep your mouth shut about the secret you know, or don't blame me for not warning you when you're captured for research. "
Gluttony was vexed. "I'm not an idiot. Hmph, forget it if you don't want to know. But remember to ask Luke to prepare more food for you tomorrow morning. "
Selina said, "Just give up. He won't let you eat it. He's a man of his word."
"Luke is the devil!" Gluttony grumbled unhappily. "You're the one eating. Don't forget that we shared a symbiotic relationship tonight, and I extracted some of that energy from your body. "
Selina immediately sat up. "Are you saying that I'm going to binge all day tomorrow?"
