American comic book red Superman

The two tried their best to distance themselves from the situation, as if the equipment were a virus that would kill them if they got infected.

"Since they won't tell us, we can only leave it to the Self-Strengthening Department to handle."

Luo Wei stood up and said slowly.

"No, no, I'll talk, I'll talk! Please, be magnanimous and don't hand us over to the Self-Strengthening Department!"

When Brother Wang heard that they were to be taken to the Self-Strengthening Department, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Those who did this knew better than anyone what the Self-Strengthening Ministry was, and that if they got caught doing this kind of thing, they would face a fate worse than death.

"follow me."

Luo Wei carried the two men, signaling Kara to take the equipment. He then led them to a rooftop. This kind of thing naturally couldn't be spread. Although the Self-Strengthening Corps had very low public awareness and presence, and almost no one knew of their existence, they still had to be cautious.

Once on the rooftop, he tossed the two of them to the ground, then floated them in the air, looking down at them coldly, and said, "Speak, I'm listening."

My cousin is so aloof.

Kara sat on the railing behind, looking at Rowe's expression, and truly felt that he was a completely different person when he was with her.

During battles, my cousin rarely smiled, and his tone of voice was inscrutable.

However, Kara believes that a qualified warrior should never show his emotions when facing the enemy, as that would become his weakness.

"I've never met the people behind the scenes. They always stay hidden, communicating only by phone. I know their names are Winston and Laura. I don't know who the other person is either. I heard he's a criminal scientist, but he doesn't research criminals for the authorities; instead, he helps criminals research how to commit crimes. I've only heard that he knows many famous criminals and has spent a long time in the United States, but they are of Chinese descent."

Brother Wang rattled off a long string of words without daring to catch his breath, fearing that Superman might be in a bad mood and kill them outright, or hand them over to the Self-Reliance Department.

Although there have never been any official reports of Superman killing anyone, those in the underworld know that Superman must have killed someone.

However, due to concerns about the impact, the authorities never report on these matters.

Brother Wang continued, "Someone..."

"Oh my god, they asked our team to pick up a shipment. By the way, Xu Zhao is one of us. He's always daydreaming about becoming a legend, and he idolizes you. He even falls asleep looking at your posters every night. But we have absolutely no idea what Xu Zhao has been doing."

"Yes, we didn't expect that madman Xu Zhao to cause you trouble. If we had known, I would have shot him dead!"

Xiao immediately knelt down and said.

"You shouldn't be making trouble for yourselves. Continue, what's the deal with the equipment, and what does your backer want it for?"

Luo Wei questioned in a cold voice.

"The equipment was stolen by the people behind the scenes. They told us to hide it well. Later, Xu Zhao stole a portion of it, and this equipment was one of them."

"As for the purpose of the person behind this, it seems they hope to use the device to find the Monkey King, the legendary monkey, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

"That's all. We don't know anything else. Our job is to hide these devices and hand them over to them once they enter China."

After Wang finished speaking, he gasped for breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart. Sweat dripped from his forehead and his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Is it related to the Monkey King?"

Luo Wei pondered. He knew that Brother Wang wasn't lying; the other party really only knew this much.

It seems the person behind the scenes is very cautious; although they wanted to keep the equipment safely stored in China, they never showed their face from beginning to end.

However, what Luo Wei felt was most important was that the other party was actually after the Monkey King.

"Big brother, can you let us go now?"

"We bought plane tickets for tonight."

Brother Wang knelt on the ground, looking up at Luo Wei in mid-air, his eyes filled with pleading and fear. A person who could withstand missiles was right in front of him. Anyone would be terrified, let alone when the other party was his own enemy!

"No, I told you, you shouldn't cause trouble for yourselves. I'll have the Self-Strengthening Department take you away. As for the rest, good luck to you."

Luo Wei shook his head. The Self-Strengthening Department was probably worried about the equipment and parts leak right now. It would be too unfair of him to just let the two people go.

Moreover, what they are doing now

"Don't"

The two were still thinking of begging for mercy.

Luo Wei had already had Shenlong dial Hua Xin's number.

Meanwhile, in a secluded residence in China, in a dimly lit office with its curtains drawn, a slender, dignified middle-aged man sat in a chair, the faint sunlight filtering through the curtains and illuminating his face.

In front of him were some books about Chinese mythology, and he was writing something in his hand, some of which mentioned the name of the Monkey King.

Buzz

Suddenly, a figure appeared in a dark corner opposite the desk. The figure gradually became clearer and revealed a woman. She was wearing a red hooded robe, the hood making her short, milky-gray hair appear and disappear. The patterns on her face also looked extremely strange, like a woman in a mythological portrait.

The woman slowly stepped out of the shadows and said, "Gerald, it seems your men have lost the equipment."

"Don't worry, Pandora, I have a Plan B."

The middle-aged man spoke, and the two of them spoke in English. When the man looked up, he also noticed that the man spoke fluent American English, but had a Chinese face.

"I'm here to tell you how to find the Monkey King, but don't let me down, and don't expect me to collude with you either."

Pandora walked coldly to the desk, her long, slender fingers tapping the surface. Her tone was unhurried, yet it carried immense pressure: "Don't have any other ideas either."

"I have always maintained a devout respect for you and will never do anything out of line. Those people will not find you."

Gerald smiled and put away his pen and paper. "Besides, I have no ill intentions toward the Monkey King. I just want to see him."

"Better so."

Pandora ignored the second half of the sentence; her words were clearly directed at the first half. Then, as soon as she finished speaking, a breeze blew through the office.

Her figure disappeared from the office, and if it weren't for the fragrance in the air, it would have been as if no one had ever been there.

Pandora

"What on earth do you want?"

After everyone left, Gerald took a book from the shelf, flipped through a few pages, and finally stopped at several strangely shaped creature illustrations. A passage mentioned a name that made him read it aloud, "Shazam? What does she have to do with it?"

[PS: I'm not sure if you can understand this part of the plot. It's an adaptation of the comic book storyline, and I'll try to explain it more clearly later.]

Chapter 99098: The Monkey King and Pandora (Part Two)

"I'm going to the Self-Strengthening Department later, you go back first."

After knocking out the two begging criminals, Luo Wei turned to look at his cousin Kara, who was sitting on the railing.

“I’m going too. Maybe I can help with this. I’ve participated in research projects on Krypton and I can understand this mechanical device.”

Kara shook her head in refusal and jumped down from the railing.

"No, you can't go right now."

Luo Wei interrupted his cousin, "Your mental abilities aren't mature enough. There's a suspicious woman among them."

"Did she suspect you before?"

Kara asked, guessing.

"Ah."

Luo Wei nodded. The woman he was referring to was Hua Xin, who possessed psychic abilities. Her psychic abilities were actually quite strong, but they had no effect on him. However, they posed a threat to the inexperienced Kara.

"Ok."

Kara pursed her lips regretfully, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke again, reminding him, "Karl, I know your concerns, but I still want to remind you that the identity of a Kryptonian cannot be hidden forever, nor can Superman's. People will eventually find out the truth, and I hope you can be mentally prepared, after all..."

Kara paused, took a deep breath, and said, "To Earth, we have always been outsiders, and even if Zod were willing to sit down and negotiate, he would not allow the Kryptonians to live a life of timidity."

“I understand, Zod doesn’t even want other races to exist near Krypton.”

Rowe's expression darkened slightly. He understood his cousin Kara's advice; it was only a matter of time before the world knew about the Kryptonians.

Moreover, that day seems to be not far off, as the Zod fleet is on its way to Earth.

"They're here, so I'll head back now."

"You can come to my place for dinner tonight. Since your parents aren't home, invite Xiaoqing along and let her try my new cooking skills."

Kara walked up to Rowe, raised her head and lightly tapped his cheeks, then pushed off with her feet and sprang into the air, flying towards the sky.

"call"

Luo Wei touched his face, watched the girl disappear into the clouds, then turned around, picked up the two unconscious criminals, and flew towards the vehicle of the Self-Strengthening Special Task Force.

He then met with the task force and got into a car to go to the Self-Strengthening Department's temporary base in Green Vine City. The Self-Strengthening Department does not have dedicated bases in cities all over the country. The government has only set up bases in a few important cities. Otherwise, when Hua Xin came to Green Vine City, she would not have needed to go to the police station to work.

The task force drove a black SUV. The exterior looked unremarkable, but the interior was far more technologically advanced than that of ordinary cars. Weapons and various equipment for dealing with different situations were installed under the seats, and the windows were made of bulletproof glass, allowing people inside to see out but not outside to see in.

Soon after, the vehicle entered the outskirts of Green Vine City, onto a deserted road, and after several turns, finally passed through the woods and entered a seemingly ordinary factory building.

"Mr. Superman, we've arrived."

The driver brought the car to a smooth stop and turned to look at Superman in the middle of the back seat.

Two special task force members sat on either side, their bodies tense. Upon seeing the location, they clearly breathed a deep sigh of relief and immediately opened the car door and got out.

"Are you nervous?"

Luo Wei followed down

The driver noticed that the two people's heart rates were fast and couldn't help but smile.

The two task force members did not answer, but stood straight on either side without saying a word. Because they were wearing masks and goggles, their expressions could not be seen, but the sweat on their foreheads betrayed their feelings.

"They've seen your combat videos."

Hua Xin's clear voice rang out. She held a report in her hand and then looked at the escort vehicle behind her. The special task force escorted two people off the vehicle. Two of the team members were carrying a white piece of equipment with the Self-Strengthening Ministry's logo prominently displayed on it.

She frowned and said, "Indeed, Xu Zhao hid him in Green Vine City."

“I stumbled upon them by chance, and the logos on the equipment looked familiar, so I thought you guys should know how to handle this kind of thing.”

Luo Wei stood to the side with his arms crossed, puzzled, and asked, "Aren't you a psychic superhuman? How come you didn't get the whereabouts of the equipment out of Xu Zhao?"

He remembered that Hua Xin was a psychic, so in theory, Xu Zhao, an ordinary person, could not possibly be a challenge for her. Even if she used her psychic abilities to manipulate Xu Zhao into committing suicide, she would still draw her gun without hesitation.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Hua Xin listened with a solemn expression, then turned and walked into the factory.

Seeing this, Luo Wei followed. The first floor seemed ordinary, but when he got to the third floor, he found that it was completely different from the factory floor filled with machine tools. The space here was spacious and divided into several areas. Many members of the Self-Strengthening Department were working and making phone calls, and some special forces members were cleaning their weapons. Superman's appearance also attracted their attention, but after a few glances, they continued to work with their heads down.
