Phil strode over, and Wales was a little behind him.
Luke noticed this and had a rough idea of what was going on.
After approaching the body, Phil took out an instrument and pointed it at the man. He then examined the body's face and nodded. "Although the face is a little out of shape, it should be that guy."
The instrument immediately beeped, and a red dot lit up. Phil put the instrument away and looked at the information on it. "There's no mistake. It's Creech McCoy, a former football player and mutant nicknamed Iron Hide."
Turning his head and looking at Luke's calm expression, he suddenly said, "This isn't the first time you've met someone like this, right?"
"A mutant?" Luke was stumped for a moment, but still nodded.
Wales knew a lot of things, and there was no need for him to hide it.
Phil had an inexplicable feeling, but he said, "This kind of person is very difficult to deal with. If it's not necessary, it's best to avoid fighting them head-on in the future."
Luke nodded, but he looked at the instrument curiously. "Is this … used to test for mutants?"
Phil nodded. "I don't know the principle, but it can detect if there are any mutants within a ten-meter radius."
Luke asked, "What if there are too many of them?"
Phil raised the instrument and pointed at Wales. "It's in directional mode."
The red light on the instrument automatically turned green.
Luke was intrigued. "Is that so? Can you test it for me? "
Phil was stunned. "How is that possible …"
He suddenly stopped and thought for a moment before he nodded. "Then let's test it."
He then raised the instrument and pointed it at Luke.
Luke found that odd. "What's wrong? There's no reaction? "
Phil sighed inwardly and finally pressed the start button.
The instrument finally started working, and a green indicator light lit up.
Phil was stumped. "You … you're not a mutant, are you?"
Luke smiled. "On the off chance that I am, it wouldn't be bad to have some superpowers."
Phil smiled bitterly. "But many mutants … change their appearance quite a lot after they awaken."
Of course Luke knew that. He simply nodded. "Forget it, then. I prefer to be more handsome."
After talking to Luke for a while, Phil noticed that Wales was looking at him strangely.
He smiled naturally. "Luke is still young and has a long way to go. Teaching him some general knowledge will help him grow better." He was talking to Wales.
Wales understood.
He remembered that he had submitted a report a few months ago suggesting that Luke be considered a candidate for the reserve team, but his proposal had been quickly rejected by HQ on the grounds that his age wasn't suitable. At the end of the report, however, they had added that Luke was already being watched.
Wales was speechless.
Wasn't HQ doing this because they wanted to recruit Luke for training in a few years?
In this regard, he had ten thousand American MMP's that he wanted to say, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, Luke was too young.
In their system, most of the combat personnel in the field were elite agents between the ages of 25 and 50.
He was too young to be patient, and he didn't have enough experience.
He was too old and experienced, but his body couldn't keep up.
Their operations department was always short of people.
He had cursed inwardly at the time that HQ wanted to poach Luke, but he could understand later.
Also, if Luke followed him, he would definitely be stuck at the level of an ordinary agent for several years.
After he went to HQ for training, he would have a lot of room for advancement in the future.
Seniority and qualifications were important everywhere, and it was the same for their secret agency.
After this brief interlude, Luke told Phil and Selina what had happened during the incident.
Of course, he didn't have to go through all the details.
He only talked about how he had noticed that something was wrong with these people. Out of professional habits, he had felt that these people acted like soldiers.
Also, it was indeed strange that the criminals went to the bathroom together.
Phil and Wales listened most of the time, and asked a few questions occasionally, which were all about the criminals.
When he talked about how he killed Iron Hide Creech, Luke said that he had shot Iron Hide in the jaw five times in a row before he killed the guy.
Both Phil and Wales were stunned.
Wales, who was more familiar with Luke, asked directly, "Iron Hide is basically immune to regular bullets, right?"
Luke reached under his right armpit and took out the big gun. "This is my personal preference. Of course, it's on file with the department. "
Phil and Wales were both a little speechless. The M500 was only good to look at! Most people couldn't use it at all.
Wales continued, "You shot Iron Hide in the jaw five times in a row with this gun?"
Luke chuckled and walked to a spot not far away from Iron Hide's body.
Then, as he walked, he picked up his gun and made a popping sound.
Very soon, he finished firing, and Phil and Wales understood that he had to shoot at close range.
Luke's last three shots, in particular, could be considered to be shooting at the ground from above Iron Hide.
Naturally, it was easier than they had expected.
Luke shrugged. "Actually, as long as the first shot hit his jaw, his brain wouldn't be able to control his body. His body is bulletproof, but his brain doesn't seem to be. "
Phil and Wales were lost for words. Bullsh * t!
Iron Hide was a criminal on their radar. Two teams of elite agents had worked together to arrest him, but he had escaped easily.
Who could guarantee that they could accurately hit Iron Hide's jaw when they were moving so fast?
Not only was Iron Hide Creech very strong, he was also very strong and fast.
Before he had awakened his X gene, Iron Hide had only been 1.78 meters tall. He had once been a professional football player, and wasn't a useless meat shield.
Unfortunately, Iron Hide was already dead, and whatever Luke, who had killed him, said was reasonable.
That was the right of the victor.
After telling the story of what had happened to the unfortunate Creech, Phil picked up a device that he had put on the trash can earlier. Looking at the red light on it, he sighed. "This is going to be troublesome."
Looking at Luke's puzzled expression, Phil hesitated for a moment, but still explained, "You know that mutants are born with unique abilities. Some choose to follow the rules, while others use them to commit crimes. "
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "This device can detect traces left behind by mutants when they use their abilities. So, these two trash cans were sent into this building by a mutant with a special ability."
Luke nodded, deep in thought. "No wonder. This isn't Stark's headquarters, but security has been tight recently. There shouldn't be such a serious mistake. "
Phil nodded. "Even in this building, there are several surveillance devices in several important places. Once they detect traces of certain abilities being used, they will sound an alarm. Mutants who know this won't do anything rash. Those who don't … "
