The bus continued towards the city center of Los Angeles, and the tall buildings on both sides of the main road gradually increased.
Suddenly, Vincent felt a pressure on his right shoulder. He glanced over and saw Lorna, still chewing on the remaining candy stick, had closed her eyes and fallen into a deep sleep, her green-haired head resting against his shoulder.
The sunlight streaming through the window fell on her small face, making her look even more pure and delicate.
This boss, is she really here to fight superhumans, or is she just here for a vacation?
Vincent was a bit speechless, but he let Lorna continue to lean on him and sleep.
Lorna's body had not fully recovered, and it was uncertain how much of her ability she could exert.
Therefore, Vincent still intended to deal with the potential terrorist organization by himself.
Now, he had three modes to choose from.
First, he could let the Flerken Cub, Little Emperor, bite him, then parasitize Little Emperor, and transform into the Three-in-one Venom Vincent Cat mode again.
With the strength of the Three-in-one mode, no matter what kind of biochemical humans or terrorist organizations, he could overpower them all. However, this mode carried the risk of losing control, and its dark and evil nature was not suitable for simultaneously looking after a 'little patient' like Lorna.
Also, if the Three-in-one appeared in this city, Iron Man might prioritize attacking it.
Second, he could let the Symbiote inside the Flerken directly parasitize him, and then he would parasitize Lorna in the form of a Symbiote.
This would be absolutely sufficient in terms of ability strength, and it would allow Lorna to experience the satisfaction of personal revenge. However, the same problem remained: Lorna was currently very weak, and Vincent did not intend to count her as part of their combat strength.
To others, Lorna might be a superhuman boss, but to Vincent, she was currently just a girl who needed protection.
Of course, if Lorna knew what Vincent was thinking, she would definitely explode.
The last option was for him to acquire Lorna's abilities.
With the inherent strength of Lorna's abilities, as long as Vincent performed at his normal level, he could easily resolve any alien incident that wasn't on the scale of the Battle of New York.
Vincent suddenly looked down, at the girl's lips, which were somewhat shiny and semi-transparent from the earlier syrup, illuminated by the sunlight outside.
Hmm, let me reiterate, he really wasn't a pervert!
...The bus continued to drive. When it reached a bridge over the river, traffic started to build up, and the bus slowed down.
When it reached almost the middle of the bridge, the bus came to a complete stop. The surrounding vehicles were jammed, and some impatient drivers were already honking their horns frantically.
Vincent frowned, feeling a stuffy heat pouring into the bus compartment from the window.
It was sunny outside, and even though it was only February, it felt like a hot summer!
Drip!
A drop of Water dripped from Vincent's chin. He looked down and found that his palms were also visibly sweaty.
He wasn't the only one feeling hot; many passengers on the bus started taking out tissues to wipe their sweat, grumbling and complaining.
Vincent glanced at Lorna beside him. She was still sleeping soundly and didn't seem to feel the heat, with no trace of sweat on her body.
It had to be said that when she was sleeping, the girl looked very well-behaved.
Another five minutes passed.
The traffic jam on the bridge showed no signs of easing, only getting worse.
The driver simply opened the bus door to let some air in, and many people outside also got off their vehicles.
"Vincent, something's not right," Guan Luo's mental message suddenly came through.
"What have you sensed?" Vincent narrowed his eyes, asking gravely.
"It's not clear yet, the distance is a bit far, I need to get closer," Guan Luo continued to transmit.
"What's wrong?" Lorna also woke up, opening her eyes and asking groggily.
"You stay on the bus, don't move, I'll go down and check," Vincent said, about to get up, but Lorna grabbed his arm.
"I told you, don't leave me," the green-haired girl grumbled, "Besides, at a critical moment, don't you need me?"
"Then let's go together."
Vincent knew he couldn't persuade Lorna, so he simply took her with him off the bus, onto the bridge jammed with various vehicles.
Scanning around, he could clearly see pedestrians outside converging towards the center of the bridge, the scene unusually lively.
"It looks like there was a car accident ahead?"
"Let's go take a look, it's too hot to stay on the bus."
"Hey guys, let's go, let's go up ahead and shoot a video!"
Pedestrians walking past Vincent whispered, excitedly anticipating the action.
"Guan Luo, is the something 'not right' you sensed referring to the car accident ahead?" Vincent asked in a low voice, carrying his backpack.
Guan Luo responded, "It's the direction of the car accident, but not the car accident itself. There are other special Things existing there."
"Then let's just stay on the bus."
Vincent was self-aware about this, feeling that he had a physique that easily attracted superhumans, especially female superhumans, so it was better not to actively seek trouble.
Who knew, Lorna's jewel-like eyes flickered, and she curiously asked, "What's happening ahead? Little brother, let's go take a look too!"
With that, Lorna, despite her weak body, struggled to pull Vincent forward.
Vincent had no choice with Lorna. Thinking that if it really was a superhuman, he wouldn't be able to easily avoid it, he followed the pedestrians forward.
Approaching the center of the cross-river bridge.
Vincent saw that there were several crashed and overturned vehicles on the bridge ahead. An entirely overturned muscle car almost completely blocked the bridge, which was the main culprit for the traffic jam. In addition, on both sides of the accident scene, large crowds of onlookers formed a human wall, watching and taking photos.
"Little brother, look to your right, what is that?" Lorna suddenly pointed to one side of the accident scene.
Vincent followed her finger with his gaze and immediately widened his eyes. It was a bald, muscular man with his upper body bare!
Unlike ordinary humans, his arms, upper body, and even his face, his skin and muscles were like hard, brown stones, making his tall and burly body appear rough and bloated, and his face and appearance somewhat frightening!
Thing?
Before Vincent could think further, Guan Luo said telepathically, "Another strange entity is coming this way!"
"Where?" Vincent scanned around but didn't see anyone approaching.
But suddenly, a bizarre scene occurred!
The onlookers in front of Vincent all gasped in unison, as if pushed by an invisible presence, parting to create a passage for people.
Vincent couldn't avoid it in time and bumped head-on into a soft, curvaceous body. With the cushioning effect that softened the impact, a woman's startled cry faintly echoed in the air!
"Someone." Lorna, beside him, looked at a spot in the air, her eyes showing a curious expression: "Invisible?"
"Who's there?" Vincent subconsciously reached out his left hand and grabbed a handful of warm, resilient flesh. It felt very smooth and delicate, like a woman's slender, toned waist??
"Let go quickly!" the invisible woman cried out, embarrassed and flustered.
"Oh, oh, sorry." Vincent immediately retracted his left hand, but what he didn't expect was that his palm had adhered to the other person's body. As he pulled his hand back, he also pulled the other person's body towards him—
Splat!
Vincent fell backward directly onto the bridge road, and the invisible body also landed on his chest, after which the young man's body disappeared from its original spot!
