American comics: From the black robes to becoming the ultimate Doomsday

Just as Pei Yuan reached the laboratory door, Dr. Carlton suddenly came over and blocked his way.

Art: "Dr. Carlton..."

Dr. Carlton waved his hand to signal him to be quiet, then stared intently into Pei Yuan's eyes before suddenly smiling and saying, "Number 58, can you tell me why you want to be exposed to sunlight?"

Pei Yuan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he then glanced around furtively before lowering his voice and saying, "I'm plotting something big..."

"Oh, what's the big deal?" Carlton asked curiously.

Not only were people curious, but even those in the lab were drawn to his mysterious behavior, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Pei Yuan: "Me? I want to plant the sun!"

Carlton: ...

Dr. Carlton's expression changed repeatedly, making him inwardly curse his own stupidity for actually engaging in serious communication with a mentally ill person.

"Can I have a room with a big window?" Pei Yuan was still earnestly defending the legal rights of a mentally ill person.

This made Carlton even angrier.

"Take it away!"

Dr. Carlton roared through gritted teeth, "I knew it! I knew it! How could I possibly develop a stable compound number five from these mentally unstable psychopaths!?"

Are we going to use those unstable minds to stabilize things?!

I suggested long ago that Walter capture some homeless people—those! Those are the qualified test subjects!

Inside the laboratory, Carlton's student Roger Lang and his assistants remained silent, not daring to provoke Dr. Carlton.

The man by the window snapped off the lighter in his hand and chuckled. “Dr. Carlton, you should understand. It’s not so easy to bring those homeless people from the city over. The military has always been keeping a close eye on Walter.”

Carlton could freely reprimand his assistants, but he was somewhat wary of this superhuman who could control fire and was once one of the Seven's Lamplighters.

He glanced at the lamplighter, said nothing, and instead took off his white lab coat and stormed out of the laboratory.

Chapter 5 [Unlocking a Superhuman Body!]

"I have to say, you're quite capable, kid. You actually managed to make Dr. Carlton so angry."

"Thanks to you, it seems Dr. Carlton has already gone to the Water Corporation building. Those homeless people in the city are probably in for a rough time soon."

On the way back to Pei Yuan's room, Art saw Dr. Carlton driving away through the corridor window and chuckled.

Pei Yuan did not respond, clearly his wish for a room with large windows and strong sunlight had been dashed.

Today was another sunny day, with good sunlight. Pei Yuan stood in the room through the small window, absorbing the limited amount of sunlight energy.

Around noon, Pei Yuan learned another piece of information from the talkative Yate.

Dr. Carlton seemed reluctant to use these mentally ill individuals for his experiments on compound five, believing that the slow progress of his experiments was due to the inferior quality of the test subjects.

So I plan to stay at the Water Group.

So obviously, his time in the lab has been postponed again.

Pei Yuan had plenty of time to play the role of the Destroyer Sunbathing, and then go back to play the role of the Value.

Role-playing value +1...

Role-playing value +2...

……

In the prison-like room, Pei Yuan's body and the slanting beam of light became a line, bathing his entire body in sunlight as much as possible.

Pei Yuan's performance value on the panel was increasing rapidly at a constant rate. It has to be said that everything is easy at the beginning but difficult later.

The amount of role points required to unlock the next skill at 10% progress is now multiplied by a factor of two compared to the first stage.

Now, the only thing Pei Yuan can do is play the role of the sun destroyer, seizing every opportunity when the sunlight appears at the window.

Even the guards in the security room shook their heads when they saw Pei Yuan's strange appearance. They would only think that this guy's mental illness was more serious and that he was almost obsessed.

The rest of the days were like this, making him almost forget about time. Only when Yate or other staff delivered his meals each day did Pei Yuan realize how much time had passed.

As the sun set and the last rays of sunlight disappeared behind the horizon, Pei Yuan, as usual, directly incorporated the day's performance gains into the performance schedule.

This time, however, a different notification sound appeared than usual.

[Unlock progress has reached 10%.]

[Unlock abilities, achieve superhuman strength!]

A strange heat flowed through his limbs and bones, transforming his body.

Pei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then opened the panel and saw the extra line of text in the ability column. His joy was beyond words.

He immediately checked the current strength of this super-strong body. Upon checking, he discovered that Pei Yuan was now immune to attacks from ordinary weapons, and even had a certain degree of immunity to bullets.

Although Pei Yuan felt regretful that he couldn't be completely immune to bullets, his current physical strength gave him much more confidence in escaping this place.

Protecting against bullets is one purpose, but an even more important one is to protect against tranquilizer guns that shoot out from the darkness.

After all, in order to prevent mental patients from escaping, these guard rooms are equipped with a number of tranquilizer guns, which are quieter than ordinary firearms, and always make people feel annoyed.

For the next few days, no one took Pei Yuan to the lab to do experiments, so he stayed in his room, basking in the sun to increase his acting value.

Dr. Carlton in the lab seems to be at odds with the higher-ups at the Water Group. Half a month has passed since Pei Yuan conducted the last experiment, and there is still no sign of Dr. Carlton returning.

The best way for me to leave is obviously the route to the laboratory, since I don't need to waste time breaking through the iron gate and going through several layers of defenses to reach the gate.

Because of the camera, he didn't even have time to practice his own destructive ray, and he didn't know how long it would take to break through.

As time passed, Pei Yuan continued to absorb the acting points given by the sunlight during the day, while also inquiring about the security measures within the mental hospital, all while waiting for his second opportunity to conduct the experiment.

He has already decided.

If nothing unexpected happens, he plans to wait until his next trip to the lab, when he passes the gate guards, and then take the opportunity to escape.

The role-playing points acquired in the past few days are still being used, but the progress required to unlock them has increased even further. So Pei Yuan simply decided to keep them for now and save them to upgrade his skills.

As for escaping this mental hospital, having the destructive ray and the superhuman strength is enough, since the top superhumans from the Vought Group are still inside the Vought Building.

Two more days passed. One night, after Pei Yuan had eaten that unpalatable food, he rested on the bed.

However, just as he was drifting off to sleep, a crisp sound of a door opening startled him awake.

Pei Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and saw the iron gate open, and a familiar white figure walked in from outside. It was the burly white man, At.

Pei Yuan was puzzled.

Dinner has already been delivered, what does this guy want to do at this hour?

However, upon seeing Pei Yuan stand up, a lewd smile appeared on Ate's face. This smile was exactly the same as the smile of a lecherous thief towards an innocent girl that Pei Yuan had seen on television.

The only difference is that the role of that naive girl has now been taken by myself.

"Hehe, kid, you haven't done this before, have you? I'll make you feel good today." As Yate walked into the room, he saw Pei Yuan's expression and became even more lewd and disgusting.

Pei Yuan had no idea that this guy was actually gay.

Inside the security room, Boer, who was on night shift, also noticed Nayate's actions in the room. He shook his head speechlessly, pressed a button, and moved the camera away from his position.

The camera's activity naturally couldn't escape the notice of At, who was inside the room. He glanced up, shook his head with regret, and sighed, "Boring guy."

He then turned to Pei Yuan inside the room, chuckled, and pulled down his pants.

"Let me show you my baby!"

"Oh, what do you think?"

Pei Yuan rubbed his eyes, stood in front of Yate, and said calmly.

This eerily calm tone suddenly sent chills down Art's spine. He had a bad feeling and roared, "Shit, what else do you want, you yellow-skinned monkey!"

Pei Yuan stood there expressionless, curling his lip in disgust.

Then his eyes suddenly turned red, and to At's astonishment, two blazing red rays flashed past his crotch!

In an instant!

A flash of red light disappeared in an instant, and the smell of something burning seemed to waft through the room.

Ate froze with a look of utter disbelief, then collapsed to the ground.

His legs straightened, his facial features contorted almost instantly, his face turned ashen, and then quickly turned deathly pale.

His strong body curled up like a boiled shrimp, his hands instinctively wanting to cover himself, yet he dared not.

That thing is now like a pile of sand; if you touch it, it will turn into black dust.

The intense pain caused him to break out in a cold sweat, and he felt as if his soul had left his body.

He opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but could only let out a silent, dry howl.

"I saw it, and then what?" Pei Yuan stared calmly into Ate's eyes.

However, At this moment, At was unable to answer; he was filled with endless pain and could not hear anything else.

He stared at Pei Yuan's figure, his face contorted with pain, his body trembling, and the incomprehensible heat rays filling his eyes with terror.
