and so……
The thing in that safe was a bomb.
This applies to both the thief who stole the item and the person who found it.
Luke has to be on guard.
At night.
Just as Luke got home, Earl called to say that their people had already installed all the listening devices while the three Sentinel Special Service agents were out having dinner.
Even their hotel's toilets had three installed in a hidden corner.
Furthermore, just in case the Sentinel Secret Service agents discovered it, Earl did not use the bugging devices in the FBI's equipment warehouse, but instead requisitioned a batch of bugging devices from the evidence room that he had found six months earlier when he raided a Middle Eastern terrorist hideout.
"I've always trusted you to get things done. Just keep a close eye on things these next few days."
"clear."
Luke got out of the car and immediately hung up the phone.
When he returned to the living room on the first floor from the garage, he looked at Lorna, who was already sitting on the bar stool, propping her head up with one hand and holding a ballpoint pen in the other, and blinked.
Lu Ke approached and glanced at it.
Raise an eyebrow.
"Doing homework."
"Ah."
Lorna listlessly glanced up at Luke, who was turning around to take a bottle of wine from the liquor cabinet, and asked with some puzzlement, "Do you know how much homework we have every day?"
Luke turned around and uncorked the bottle.
"How many?"
"a lot of!"
Lorna said with an exaggerated expression, "The amount of homework this school does in one day is almost equivalent to the total amount of homework I did in Orange County High School for half a year. And, you know what Clarice said? She said today's homework is actually less."
She's starting to regret her decision to transfer schools.
after all……
Isn't it nice to go to high school in Orange County every day and live happily like a complete idiot?
Why would someone so desperate as to come to some crappy private high school?
Luke didn't say anything, but gave Lorna a look that said, "I sympathize with you, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Lorna looked at the amount of homework she had to do on her very first day of school and couldn't help but glance at Luke.
"Lucy, can I apply to return to Orange County High School?"
Should I strive to become an elite at a private university, or return to a public university and live a carefree, silly life?
Lorna felt that she preferred the latter.
Lu Ke's expression remained unchanged.
"can."
"really?"
Lorna's eyes lit up as she looked at Luke: "Can I really apply to go back to Orange County High School?"
"Of course, when Rachel comes back, I'll tell her that you don't like doing homework and want to go back to your old school. Although that would be a bit of a waste of the favors Rachel and I have done for you."
Lu Ke said this, then shrugged and looked at Lorna: "But it's okay, you're my sister. As long as my sister is happy, I'll take care of anything, even if she goes straight to prison, let alone go back to Orange County High School."
Lorna's mouth dropped open when she heard Luke's words.
Luke looked at Lorna with a smile on his face.
"So, should I make the call now?"
"...I'm not going to prison."
Lorna said something, then silently lowered her head again, picked up a piece of scrap paper, and buried herself in reworking the math problem on her homework.
Upon seeing this, Lu Ke's lips curled up slightly.
"correct!"
Lorna's eyes suddenly lit up as she remembered something. She looked up, leaned closer to Luke behind the bar, and asked in a low voice, "Luke, did you know that Clarice is also a mutant?"
Luke paused in his act of serving the wine and looked at Lorna.
"what?"
"I didn't expect that."
Lorna looked at Luke's expression, smiled slightly, and then shrugged: "I didn't expect that either."
Lu Ke: "..."
Chapter 141 Mutant Blink (Fifth update, please subscribe to all chapters!!)
Another mutant?
Such a coincidence?
Lu Ke thought to himself.
He knew many mutants' code names and their real names.
For example, Professor X's name is Charles Xavier.
Although Magneto is called Eric Lansher, his real name is actually Max Eisenhardt.
For example, Phoenix and Storm.
Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch.
Luke knew all of their nicknames and real names, which came from the mutant movies he watched before he entered the Main God Space.
but……
Clarice Fang?
Luke searched the mutant memory bank but couldn't find a mutant who matched the name.
Or she's a mutant who didn't get a chance to reveal her real name in the movie.
Or he's just another mutant who plays a minor role, like the others in the movies who are captured and studied.
Or perhaps...
She's very likely an imposter.
Luke considered this possibility, his heart stirred slightly, and he put down his wine glass. Then, he looked at Lorna with a serious expression: "How are you sure she's a mutant?"
Seeing the serious expression on Luke's face, Lorna also suppressed her smile.
"She told me."
"...and then you believed it?"
Hearing this, Lu Ke looked at Lorna and was already wondering whether he should enroll Lorna in an "anti-fraud course".
Lorna was slightly taken aback and realized what Luke was thinking. She quickly shook her head, but didn't forget to lower her voice and say, "She showed me her mutant ability. With a whoosh, she flicked her right hand, and a portal to her own bedroom appeared."
Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.
"Portal?"
"Ah."
"When I shook hands with her, I knew we were both mutants. It was a strange feeling, but it felt very real."
Lorna explained, then blinked and looked at Luke: "But why don't I feel that way when I shake your hand?"
As she spoke, Lorna reached out and grasped Luke's arm once again.
Luke snapped out of his daze, looked at Lorna's right hand resting on his arm, and then looked at Lorna.
Lorna frowned and withdrew her hand, shaking her head: "No, why don't I feel that way when I hold your hand?"
nonsense.
Because I'm not a mutant to begin with.
Luke, expressionless, picked up the glass next to him again and downed the bourbon in one gulp.
Now that Lorna mentioned it, he remembered that this Clarice Fang might be a mutant.
Asian.
女性
She is about the same age as Lorna.
This Clarice Fang must be the mutant Blink.
It's that mutant who can warp space, create portals, and allow her to move people and objects within a space she sets.
Wait!
Distort space to create portals.
This ability...
It seems, it's almost as if, is a perfect match for carrying things in a bank vault.
Lu Ke seemed to be deep in thought.
Lorna looked at Luke's arm and still found it somewhat hard to understand.
“Lu Ke”.
"Ah."
"Give me your hand."
"what."
