“As for the last one, Xingluo, I have never seen this superpowered person, but I still know her abilities.

"The Holy Shield is the most powerful protective force of Hope City, and Starfall is the ultimate weapon of Hope City. Starfall's ability is to summon meteorites, but it is said that the power and landing point are difficult to control...

"Her ability takes a long time to activate, and it can cause a very large range of damage. Of course, this kind of attack does not distinguish between enemies and friends... So, I don't know who has seen her use her ability, but I think if Hope City is destroyed, she might get a piece of it from the universe that is big enough to cause the extinction of all life on this planet."

Ji Yongxing was like a child immersed in the story, drooling as he listened.

He suddenly felt as weak as a bug in front of these people.

But insects also have abilities that are best suited to them. Ji Yongxing is very satisfied with his current path of natural sciences, but he is a little envious of those with the power to move mountains and fill the sea.

After digesting it for a moment, he asked Zhou Zhuo:

"How will Mr. Disaster Core, whom you just mentioned, solve my problem?"

"From what I know, the Disaster Core can inject a large amount of energy into an object and make it exist in an incredible form. If you just need a disposable large-capacity battery that can last for seven days, then I think it should be able to do it.

"Can he release energy slowly?"

"As far as I know, it seems that it is not possible, so you still need to figure out a way to do this."

"You mean, I have to install a bomb on the back of the power armor, and slowly release the energy inside to keep it running?"

"It's not a bomb, it's electricity... Well, it can be considered a bomb, so I need your cooperation. If it can be slow-released, why didn't they use it earlier?"

Ji Yongxing fell silent. After thinking for a few seconds, he asked again:

"Does Ms. Wanjuan have any relevant knowledge?"

Zhou Zhuo looked at Ji Yongxing helplessly.

The boy quickly understood what the teacher meant:

If there is, would it be your turn to give advice here?

"...Then I'd better think of a way to solve the problem of slow release first, otherwise it will only waste Mr. Disaster Core's time."

And your own life.

Ji Yongxing got up and left Zhou Zhuo's office. No matter what, this trip was very worthwhile. Not only did he listen to interesting stories, but it also pointed out a new direction for his research.

---

Two days later in the evening, Luke showed up on time at a restaurant on an inner-city commercial street.

The decoration here can be considered luxurious. No matter what the world becomes, such a place will have its own audience.

Luke showed the invitation and was led into a private room by the waiter.

When I pushed the door open, there were already four people seated in the room.

Luke matched the four men's figures and faces with the vague figures in his memory one by one, and quickly matched them to the correct ones.

He smiled like a child and greeted everyone one by one.

Sitting here at this time were the remaining four members of the first team who had delivered the letter to him the day before.

Unlike in memory, the four people today are no longer young, and their faces bear some traces of being tortured by time.

"You haven't been having a good time lately, have you?"

Luke sat down, and the first to speak was Jiancheng, who looked worried.

This is a middle-aged man with a yellowish complexion, and he looks like he just got off work from a construction site.

Luke nodded silently and started communicating with a few people.

The various dinner dishes were soon served and the room gradually became lively.

After the slightly awkward and sad atmosphere at the beginning, everyone seemed to have returned to Luke's childhood and talked to him about the past.

Luke himself also attached great importance to the memories related to his father and had a very pleasant chat with the four people.

He ate the food on the table with big mouthfuls. Ever since the operation, his appetite has increased significantly. The food that used to fill him up was only enough to make him half full now.

After a few drinks, Luke felt a little hot and took off his thin coat.

It was summer now, and Luke wore this coat to look more formal. He only had a short-sleeved shirt underneath.

Luke has been taking the medicine Nia gave him recently. This medicine, developed by the Life Technology Department, can make scars disappear little by little and prevent wound rupture accidents in extremely special circumstances.

For people with super powers, any risk should be avoided as much as possible. The medicine is very effective, but it cannot completely make the scars disappear.

Returning to his seat, Xingluo, who was sitting closest, saw the scar on the inside of Luke's right arm. Xingluo's eyes froze as he looked at the remaining three people around him.

The harmonious atmosphere froze for a moment, and then everything returned to normal.

Luke, who was in the center of the storm, was unaware of this.

After a while, Zaihe raised a glass of wine and said sincerely:

"I haven't seen your father drink since he became the Aegis. To be honest, maybe his ability doesn't put as much pressure on him as it does on me... Anyway, I couldn't bear it for so many years."

Following his words, Luke's thoughts went back to his childhood.

He does not have a clear memory of his childhood.

My mother died during childbirth.

Luke has only vague fragments of his early childhood memories.

Most of them were his father, a small number were the uncles and aunts in front of him, and some rarely appeared rooms with white roofs.

But rooms like this are everywhere, just like his bedroom is decorated like this now.

Luke didn't understand why he had such memories, and he didn't think in any other direction.

The dinner ended with words of concern from the bottom of the heart, and Luke started his journey home alone.

The cool breeze in the evening helped to soothe Luke's drunkenness.

He remembered that his father did have a small wine cabinet, but what was collected in it was not fine wine, but some empty bottles and wine utensils.

"Since becoming the Holy Shield...Since becoming the Holy Shield..."

Luke paced forward, feeling as if he had overlooked something.

It's not about my father, but about... the Believers organization.

The first activity of [Believers] occurred during the out-of-control incident at the research institute.

That was an impressive time point.

The development of that incident was indeed too strange, but Zhao Kai was conducting the experiment in secret and had destroyed the experimental data.

It was no use now to say that he was selfish or reckless.

but……

What if the data was not destroyed by Zhao Kai?

Just like what Disaster Core said during dinner, the end of any routine must mean something is happening.

Then use this incident as a time node and work backwards.

Just like his father liked drinking before he became the Holy Shield, but never touched alcohol after he became the Holy Shield.

If a common occurrence no longer occurs or changes its form after the out-of-control incident at the research institute, it may be related to the [Believers]!
