Chapter 352: Police Arrive at the Scene and Take Charge Regarding Indira
They had painstakingly planned for over half a month, considering all sorts of unexpected possibilities, but they never anticipated that Mr. Jervis was still hiding a superpower. Where did this guy get so many superpowers? Just the ones they knew about numbered six: changing appearance, physical body transformation, super strength, super physique, super defense, and superspeed self-healing. Now there's brainwashing too. Is this guy a superpower collector? "Absurd." Hughie was completely deflated. How were they supposed to deal with this? The opponent's superpowers were like bubbles in a pond, popping up one after another. Who knows how many more superpowers Mr. Jervis had that hadn't surfaced yet.
"How about we just give up? Compared to Mr. Jervis, I suddenly feel like Homelander is so simple and lovable."
Hughie watched Billy drag the woman's corpse out of the car and dump it by the roadside, saying with a dejected expression.
"Looks like my previous idea wasn't wrong." Billy got back into the car and silently lit a cigarette.
"What idea?" Hughie asked.
"I've been thinking about what Mr. Jervis's superpower is. Now, perhaps I have the answer." Billy frowned and exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Plunder. His superpower might be plunder. Because only that can explain why Mr. Jervis can possess so many superpowers. Think about it, before we went to Russia, Mr. Jervis actively sought us out.
And told us about Payback, then guided us to find Soldier Boy.
After returning to the country, he wanted us to look for Mindstorm, even specifically instructing us to leave him alive. Don't you think everything is strange? He has no revenge against Payback, so why bother looking for a group of Supes that are long past their prime?"
"You mean Mindstorm is useful to Mr. Jervis, which is why he warned us not to kill Mindstorm." After hearing this, Hughie felt like the fog had cleared and the sun had come out. He suddenly realized, "If that's the case, Mr. Jervis must have plundered Mindstorm's superpower, which is why he could brainwash us."
"Basically correct."
Billy was somewhat annoyed that he hadn't figured it out sooner. Otherwise, he might have been able to get ahead of Mr. Jervis and kill Mindstorm in advance.
"We have to stop him from continuing to plunder. Remember the Supe party a while ago? He explicitly stated he was in cooperation with Homelander. This indicates that Homelander must have a superpower he wants to plunder. So, we need to learn from the Mindstorm lesson and kill Homelander before Mr. Jervis does." After clearing his thoughts, Billy ultimately pointed the finger at Homelander.
......
On the other side, Frenchie, hidden in the crowd, still hadn't recovered. He even wondered if he was having hallucinations. Otherwise, how could Billy and the others ignore Mr. Jervis and go kill a strange woman?
"Are you kidding me? What's going on?" Frenchie pinched his thigh hard. The real pain made him realize that everything that had just happened wasn't a hallucination.
At this moment, most people also looked bewildered and started discussing among themselves.
"They rushed in just to kill Dean Shetty? Did Dean Shetty offend them before?"
"Not sure, but it's very likely."
"What do we do now?" Some people belatedly picked up their mobile phones, ready to call the Police, but found that their phones had no signal at all.
Indira Shetty just died like that. Cate stood frozen in place, at a loss.
Finally, Xia Shang stepped forward to take control of the chaotic situation. With a serious expression, he shouted loudly, "Please calm down, everyone. The group of Terrorists who just appeared were clearly prepared. They used something to drug Dean Shetty and took her away. So, the immediate priority is to contact the Police and see if we can get Dean Shetty back."
In reality, Xia Shang had already seen that Indira had completely lost her life signs. He said this merely to stabilize everyone present.
"But our mobile phones suddenly lost signal." Someone shook their head. It seemed Billy and the others were quite prepared; they even brought a signal jammer.
Xia Shang took out his mobile phone and walked outside. Seeing this, the people at the scene followed behind Xia Shang, walking out of the Lobby.
"We have signal!"
Many people shouted in surprise.
Soon, Golden Boy's loss of control, the appearance of Billy and the others, and Indira's death spread out at an extremely fast speed and rapidly proliferated.
This time, the Police arrived very quickly. Several police cars with sirens blaring drove into Godolkin University.
"Mr. Jervis, please tell us about the situation at the time." A Police Chief first found Xia Shang and asked for the detailed situation.
Xia Shang didn't hide anything, nor was there any need to hide. Instead, he told everything truthfully.
"So, it seems those Terrorists are very likely Supes, and their target is very clear. It looks like they came for revenge." The Police Chief had the young police officer next to him record everything Xia Shang had just said. Based on his years of experience handling cases, he could tell at a glance that this was a revenge case.
"There's a high probability that those few Terrorists were former students of Dean Shetty. It's estimated that Dean Shetty's chances of survival are not high."
Because the case had such a severe impact, the Police Chief felt it was very tricky.
Just then, a police car arrived from a distance. From the car, a police officer with a grim face got out. The police officer jogged over to the Police Chief's side and said softly, "Following the escape route of the crime vehicle, we found a female corpse. The female corpse was abandoned by the roadside. No wounds were found on the surface of the body, but a lot of white foam was found around the mouth and nose."
The Police Chief nodded and said, "Combining the events Mr. Jervis just described, it can basically be determined that Indira Shetty inhaled the poison gas held by that group of Terrorists, which is why she died in a short time."
Afterward, the Police collected some items from the scene at the time of the incident and statements from other people.
"How is the situation with Golden Boy?"
Xia Shang found Cate sitting on a bench and asked.
As if Indira's death was too sudden, Cate still felt it was a bit unreal even now. After being stunned for about a few seconds, she finally raised her head and looked at Xia Shang.
"Golden Boy has fallen unconscious. He probably won't wake up for a while."
"Don't be too sad about Dean Shetty's death." Xia Shang patted Cate's shoulder comfortingly.
Cate forced a smile and responded.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jervis. I'm alright."
"That's good." As the Vice Principal, Xia Shang was already prepared to take over from Indira. After all, he was the only Vice Principal at Godolkin University.
