What surprised Luke was that the twins didn't run away even though he had explicitly told them to "stand by and do nothing."
Just like that, they were locked up in the temporary detention center.
HQ was very busy, and nobody came to interrogate them for the time being.
Once the real escort operation was over, the bigwigs from HQ naturally had to hold a press conference to "congratulate" the people of the city.
Secondly, the losses and credit of the operation had to be calculated, and arrangements had to be made for the officers who died or were injured.
Even though it was clear that the twins were criminals who were trying to break the prisoners out, the officers guarding them were still more concerned about their looks.
Sixty to seventy criminals had already been crammed into the temporary detention center at HQ that night. The twins would have to wait until tomorrow or the day after to be interrogated.
For that, HQ had to thank Luke and Selina.
In the afternoon, they had cleanly sent nearly seventy criminals to their deaths and sent nearly thirty to the hospital with serious injuries, which greatly reduced the workload of the interrogators.
What HQ paid the most attention to was the group of people who had almost massacred the convoy with machine guns and armored vehicles in the afternoon.
It was a glorious tradition of the American police to seek revenge for the smallest grievance when dealing with suspects who had murdered police officers.
Otherwise, who would take the police seriously?!
The twins were locked up in a temporary detention center.
They were treated very well. They had their own cell far away from the other suspects.
This was ample proof that Luke and Harrison weren't the only ones who looked at faces. The officers in the detention center couldn't escape this iron law either.
Luke left HQ and got into his car in the underground parking lot before he drove home.
Looking at his expression, Selina asked curiously, "Did something good happen to you again?"
Luke chuckled. "Sort of. We'll slack off tomorrow. We'll go check in in the morning, then go home and make a feast. You can sunbathe in the morning. How does that sound?"
Selina nodded and said affirmatively, "It seems that you've run into a lot of good things."
Luke was amused and didn't say anything else.
As he drove, he checked the system notifications.
System: Host's experience: 14890/90000
Credit: 15390
System: You have defeated Stephanie Cassidy and have received a list of her abilities.
Stephanie Cassidy's abilities: Basic Voice, Basic Musical Instrument … Elementary Sound Wave (X-gene. Prerequisites: 40 Strength, 20 Dexterity, 20 Mental Strength, and 10000 credit points)
System, you have defeated Artemiser-Cassidy and obtained a list of his abilities.
Artemis Cassidy's abilities: Basic Physics, Basic Chemistry … Elementary Energy Burst (X Gene, unlearnable)
Those two were indeed sisters.
Stephanie was the short-haired girl who could use "Lion's Roar," while Artemis was the mushroom-haired girl who could use Explosive Impact.
Luke wasn't surprised that he couldn't learn Artemis's abilities.
He had gradually gained a clear understanding of the System's tricks.
He probably wasn't destined to be an "Elemental Mage" in this life, so it was impossible for him to be a "Melee Mage" like the Thunder God.
It was better for him to be a tanky shooter.
However, Stephanie's ability was very interesting.
Elementary Sound Wave didn't seem like much at first glance, but Luke was very satisfied with it.
The Lion's Roar that Stephanie had just used was definitely very useful.
This was equivalent to carrying a stun grenade with him, the kind that could be retracted and released continuously.
How could he not be in a good mood when he thought about how the Lion's Roar Technique would lock him in place and how the M500 would fire a few times in a row?
Oftentimes, abilities weren't used to destroy the world, but to make them just right.
Luke could make up for his lack of attack power by modifying his weapons, but he had always been lacking in crowd control.
Roping and stun grenades both had certain weaknesses, and weren't very useful against certain people with extraordinary abilities. A large-scale crowd control skill like the Lion's Roar was very much to his liking.
The next day, Luke and Selina received a call from Harrison after they reported to the police department.
"Luke, there's a small problem here," said Harrison.
Luke asked, "What problem?"
Harrison said, "Those two girls ran away last night."
"Huh? What happened to them … Wait, did something happen to you if they ran away? "asked Luke.
The security at HQ last night wasn't weak. After all, dozens of armed criminals had been locked up.
It was a little exaggerated that the sisters had run away, but what did that have to do with Harrison?
Harrison smiled bitterly. "The guards said that 'I' was the one who took them away in the wee hours of the morning." He emphasized the word "I."
Luke was stunned. "What?"
Harrison smiled bitterly. "That's right. Also, from the surveillance footage, it was indeed 'me' who took them away from the temporary detention center. "
Luke pondered for a moment. "Makeup? Or were you being controlled? "
Harrison smiled bitterly again. "I think it was makeup. I was sleeping at home last night, and the security system showed that I wasn't out. Also, do you remember Sanchez? "
Luke said, "I do. That hot girl."
Harrison said, "Sanchez called just now and said that she was ambushed at home yesterday morning and lost consciousness. She didn't break free until this morning and called us. "
Luke was lost for words. Then who the hell is this person on this mission with us? Is she wearing makeup again?
Thinking that, he had an idea. "I'll come. After all, I was with her yesterday. Let's see if we can find any leads."
Harrison agreed without hesitation.
That was exactly what he wanted.
Right now, the biggest problem was that he and Sanchez had become suspects.
Although nobody wanted to believe that there was something wrong with them, the surveillance footage was very clear, and they couldn't explain it.
On the footage, it was indeed Harrison who took the twins away from the detention center at HQ and drove them out of the police department. The three of them even left in the same car.
Sanchez, on the other hand, had been active in the police department all day yesterday, and there were even more surveillance footage of her.
Harrison had called Luke as a last resort, and had pinned his last hope on Luke's high rate of solving cases.
Luke was a professional when it came to solving cases.
Luke hung up and told Selina about it as he turned around.
Selina knew about what happened yesterday, and the twins' abilities had left a deep impression on her.
Now that she heard that something weird had happened again, she immediately analyzed the situation with great interest. "Could it be another superhuman?"
Luke pondered for a moment, before he nodded. "I can't think of any other possibilities other than something that defies common sense. Harrison and Sanchez spent a lot of time with us yesterday, and I didn't sense anything out of the ordinary at all. If they're all acting, then they shouldn't be police officers anymore. They can easily become stars if they become actors. Harrison might even become an actor or something. "
Selina thought for a moment, then agreed with him. "We didn't have much contact with Sanchez. But even if Harrison really wanted to take the two girls away, he wouldn't be that stupid. He's a professional, and he's very familiar with HQ. There's no way he would leave behind solid evidence like surveillance footage. "
Luke was amused. "Harrison would definitely be touched if you praised him like that."
