Chapter 1: Getting Out
Pennsylvania, Sage Center.
This is a secret psychiatric hospital located in the corner of the city, a subsidiary of a global health agency.
In a narrow house with only a toilet and sink, a young man was naked and wearing a white long-sleeved top, huddled in the corner of the house.
This is the only blind spot for surveillance, and the only place where he can feel at ease.
Arthur, is his name.
boom!
The flame suddenly burned the iron door, and Arthur raised his head. His facial features were straight and angular, and he was a bit handsome.
The iron door was melted by the flames, and ripples appeared in his heart. He stood up from the ground and stepped out of the house.
Four people were confronting each other in the corridor, one of whom he knew, the lamplighter, the lackey of the Watt Group.
"Hey, Arthur, calm down, okay?" The lamplighter held a fuel lighter and whispered comfort to Arthur.
The other three looked at Arthur with alert eyes.
"Remember the books I got for you before? We are friends."
"Who is your friend?" Arthur's face was gloomy, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time gradually rose up.
"We are not his friends." The black people on the side quickly distanced themselves from each other and explained to this man who suddenly broke into the battlefield.
Bang bang bang!
Several gunshots were heard from behind, and the bullet hit Arthur's back, making a dull sound.
Pupils flashed red, Arthur turned around, his heat vision was like a hot knife cutting cheese, cleaving the man open.
Seeing this situation, the four people ran away without any hesitation.
Ignoring them, Arthur released the "monsters" behind the door and let them attract firepower for him.
And he himself was leaving this hellish place.
Arthur's original name is Zhou Yi, and he is a native of the Celestial Dynasty. He traveled to this world due to an accident 24 years ago.
The Motherland, the Lamplighter, the Locomotive, and the Deep Sea, the seven superheroes composed of the superpowers produced by the Vought Group's injection of No. 5 compound, made him understand that this world is the world of the black-robed pickets.
But this discovery didn't make him very excited, but more of a fear.
Superheroes are no longer saints, ordinary people are like fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.
He is just an ordinary person.
A few years ago, in an accident, his parents died in a huge explosion. He was buried in the rubble. When he was found, it was already a few days after the explosion.
The person who found him was someone from the Walter Group.
He was captured here, became an experimental subject, and was forced to inject compound No. 5.
Has some superpowers, heat vision and super defense.
He can't fly, he can't see through, and his defense isn't very strong. He can only defend against small-caliber weapons, not larger ones.
For example, a cannon like Barrett.
Arriving directly in front of the hospital door, Arthur's hands trembled slightly, he was about to be free again.
Bang!
The door was violently pushed open, and dazzling light squeezed in from the crack of the door. Arthur's pupils shrank suddenly, and the sudden light made him unable to see clearly. Lightning struck his body, and his whole body was blown away and hit the wall. It was Storm Girl.
.
A powerful electric current coursed through his body, paralyzing his nerves and preventing him from gathering his energy to fight back with his heat vision.
Collapsed to the ground, Storm Girl entered the hall, closed the door lightly, and the hospital returned to darkness: "Lamplighter? Lamplighter!"
"I'm here." The voice came from the side room. Storm Girl stepped forward and asked, "I just killed seven experimental subjects outside. What happened."
The lamplighter stopped at the door, deliberately blocking Storm's view: "Doctor Carlton made the wrong dose of anesthetic again, and Arthur ran out and released some people."
On the ground, Arthur was not unconscious. He slowly turned his head, his pupils were red, and he was grinning ferociously. His heat vision burned Storm Girl's back, easily breaking through her defense.
The lamplighter was so frightened that he cursed and retreated into the room.
Storm Girl's heart was burned, and she fell to the ground, struggling constantly. Arthur got up from the ground, without any reservation, and sent out his heat vision again, melting his brain.
His heat vision is very strong. In order to prevent him from messing around, the Vought Group specially added a layer of material that can reflect heat vision into the "cage".
Although this material cannot stop continuous attacks, they have a second plan.
Storm Girl and special forces armed with large caliber weapons.
Now that Storm is dead, the Special Forces are struggling to deal with other test subjects.
Must leave as soon as possible.
He reopened the door, embraced the sunshine, walked through the jungle, came to the highway, stopped a car, and kind people took him to the city.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city, Arthur wrapped his leather jacket tightly around his body, lowered the brim of his hat, and walked toward the dark side of the city.
These clothes are all "gifted" by well-wishers.
In an unknown alleyway, several gangsters stopped Arthur and asked him to hand over his money.
Arthur killed them with his backhand, took out his new mobile phone and wallet, and continued walking deeper.
Society doesn't need scum, nor does it need sanctimonious superheroes.
"Brother, are you free?"
The blond girl was leaning against the wall, holding a cigarette between her fingers, naked, and throwing an olive branch to Arthur who was passing by.
"Do you have a place to stay?"
The girl threw away the low-quality cigarettes in her hand, stepped forward and hugged Arthur's arm, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have everything."
"Take me there."
"OK."
Along the way, the girl hinted at Arthur intentionally or unintentionally, trying to get him to do something to her, but this man was like a pimple and had no feelings for her.
She even began to wonder if she was no longer attractive.
When she came to the room, the girl closed the iron door. The purple atmosphere lights filled the place with an ambiguous atmosphere. Arthur stopped her movements and kicked her out of the room under her doubtful gaze.
After coming back to her senses and looking at the cold iron door in front of her, the girl finally understood that this guy was here to cause trouble.
She yelled and cursed, and several tall and strong men rushed out of another house with firearms and kicked open the door violently.
Typical fairy dance.
Before he could speak, the man who bore the brunt was sliced open by heat vision.
The girl was frightened, her face was pale, her teeth were chattering, she was sweating profusely, and her body was covered with a mixture of flesh and blood.
They actually provoked a person with super powers. No, he came here on his own initiative.
"Clean up." Arthur walked out of the house and got into the more well-equipped house next door. Those words without any emotion made her body tremble.
Boom!
The iron door closed, and the girl couldn't bear it any longer. She collapsed in the blood and felt nauseated and vomited.
Sitting on the sofa and watching the news, Arthur snorted. Those guys actually blamed all the casualties in the mental hospital on him, and presented Storm as a hero who fought against criminals and sacrificed his life bravely.
How shameless.
Moreover, the people of the motherland also declared in the live broadcast that they will catch the terrorists soon so that American citizens do not need to panic and can live in peace of mind.
The real criminals are you, right?
Boom, boom, boom!
"Who is it?" His eyes moved, Arthur's pupils turned red, and his heat vision was ready to attack. The girl from before opened the door and stood in front of the door holding a plate of food.
"I think you need this."
Seeing that Arthur didn't reply, she smiled awkwardly, walked into the room on her own, placed the dinner plate on the table, and retreated voluntarily.
"Are you sick?" Arthur looked at the food on the table, alert.
Not long after she killed her companion, she came over to show her courtesy, but she had no good intentions.
