American comic book police officer survival manual

"Who are you?"

Lucius's right hand was already on the gun at his waist. He stared intently at the woman before him, as if facing a formidable enemy, not daring to relax his guard in the slightest!

Pamela's smiling eyes shifted slightly, as if she was extremely surprised by Lucius's reaction: "You recognized me?"

Muttering to himself, the being with the Pamela noodle-like face looked Lucius up and down with satisfaction, his tone unusually soft and charming: "For once in all these years, you've finally become smart. It seems Gotham really is a good place to hone one's skills."

Damn it, what on earth did its predecessor get into trouble with?!

Lucius watched in horror as a woman who looked exactly like Pamela slowly walked in front of him, but he could only hold his pistol and do nothing.

Clearly, the being standing before him now possesses 'special abilities'.

Right now, I'm just a lowly police officer with decent marksmanship, and I'm probably no threat at all to dangerous individuals with such abilities.

"Your abilities are indeed awakening... that puts her at ease."

Pamela slowly approached the corner of the alley, and without the slightest hesitation, she turned and walked away!

"Stop!!"

The thought that every month he had relations with this unknown being made him desperately wanted to find out what they wanted from him.

Holding his gun, he took two steps forward, rounded the corner of the intersection, and what appeared before Lucius was once again a street with ordinary weapons.

People came and went along the long road, but the woman was nowhere to be seen, as if she had never existed.

"..."

With a grim expression and a vague feeling that another mountain had been placed on his shoulders, Lucius sighed softly and turned to walk downstairs to Pamela's apartment.

He needed to confirm the female college student's health condition before leaving.

At a street corner not far away, a weathered old man walked into a deserted corner... his figure gradually twisted and changed.

Blue, scaly skin outlined the woman's healthy and slender curves. She took out her phone, her golden eyes gleaming slightly.

"Eileen, yes, I saw that guy again. He's improved a lot since he was in New York City."

"Raven, be careful. Gotham is not a safe city."

A woman's weak yet concerned voice came from the other end of the phone, which softened the tall woman's face.

"Don't worry, my mission is complete, I'll be back soon. But are you really sure that man will become one of us too?"

"I don't know... In the premonition in my diary, he will awaken a terrible ability, which will surely become the most powerful force to liberate us."

Although the woman's voice on the phone sounded somewhat weak, it was firm and unwavering when she mentioned a certain police officer.

"Okay, Eileen, I will bring him back to us...at all costs."

Having made such a promise to his closest friend, Raven put down his phone, his face and posture changing once more, becoming an ordinary passerby, blending into the crowds of Gotham...

......

"Pamela? Pamela! Are you there?"

As he walked up the stairs, Lucius's expression remained tense.

He had a vague idea of ​​what was going on with that strange guy who appeared today.

According to the original owner's diary... that guy would come almost every month, transforming into various female forms that the original owner was familiar with.

"So the so-called 'lucky day' is just that guy indulging in his own habits?"

Lucius only knows of one being who can transform into different people, perfectly replicating their appearance and even their voice—

Mystique.

Are there mutants in the world I live in?

"Even so, why would Mystique approach me in this way?"

With his mind in turmoil and unable to make sense of the situation, Lucius could only frown and walk up to the floor where Pamela lived.

"Lucius? What happened?"

A familiar sound came from behind the door, accompanied by a few jumping sounds. The security door opened, and the girl who peeked out was still wearing that light white long dress.

However, compared to the alluring Mystique, the girl in front of Lucius's cotton swab looked uneasy, and carried a faint floral fragrance...

"It's okay, I was just a little worried about you."

Seeing that Pamela was safe and sound, Lucius relaxed, but also became completely certain of the woman's identity.

The ability to completely transform one's appearance into that of another without affecting the original owner is something only Mystique possesses.

Of course... there might be other characters with similar abilities, but Lucius didn't recognize any of them...

After all, he hadn't really read any comics... at most he'd only seen some superhero movies that were incredibly popular.

"Anyway, it's good that you're safe now." Putting the pistol back into its holster, Lucius began to look for an excuse in front of the strange-looking female college student.

"Safety?"

Pamela tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding what her favorite policeman was saying.

The other person looked so embarrassed, yet his urgent call just now truly came from the heart...

Could it be that they really didn't come to me for something important?

Reflecting on today's date, Pamela, who felt no regrets, glanced at the man in front of her and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Isn't it a bit too fast to just stay overnight?"

Today is only the first day of their official contact, and it's already progressing to the point of them staying overnight?

what?

Seeing the girl's flushed face, Lucius quickly waved his hand: "I was just... worried that you might need help because of your injured foot. Since you're alright, I'll..."

Just as Lucius was about to say that he had no other intentions, he felt a fragrant breeze waft towards him...

A soft touch came from his lips, and the slender waist in his arms and the warm touch made his eyes widen.

"Thank you, today is the happiest day I've had in Gotham..."

Seemingly, even the courage in her heart was stirred by this soft kiss. The girl, whose heart was racing, raised her eyes and stood motionless in front of Lucius.

Those eyes, brimming with a unique emotion, were so intense and alluring that Lucius dared not look directly into them.

At that moment, the man had a vague feeling.

It seems... he can do anything to the girl in front of him now, and she will be willing to silently endure it.

She seemed to have become a completely tamed cat; just by reaching out your hand, you could enjoy her complete affection and obedience...

Is it because you feel you've met the right person that you've suddenly become bolder?

Before today, he was just a somewhat unsophisticated college student...

At this incredibly close distance, Lucius only needed to lower his head to see the other's fair, alabaster-like skin.

The girl, whose looks were only average to above average, seemed to exude a fatal allure at this moment, making Lucius's mouth dry...
