I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Swipe forward quickly through the memory video to the scene where she had just finished showering and was hugging her neck from behind.

Depp then adjusted the playback speed to normal and continued playing the video.

If someone could hack into Depp's consciousness, they would be astonished by the eroticism of the scenes in the memory video at this moment.

In the video, Depp and Starlight make eye contact, then turn around.

After watching for an hour, Depp became a little impatient.

Then I switched to 10x speed and continued watching.

Twenty minutes later, I finally finished watching it for the first time.

After a moment's thought, Depp didn't hesitate to start watching again at twenty times the speed.

Yes, Depp is replaying some great movies in his head.

And it's the kind where you're the main character!

Then, Depp started looping it a third time.

Depp closed the memory video and opened his eyes.

"Could it be... really be like that?"

Depp, on a whim, called Starlight to his office.

Starlight pushed open the door and entered. As the second-in-command of Depp News Broadcasting Company, Starlight was dressed quite professionally.

Her long, golden hair cascaded smoothly over the shoulders of her black blazer, and her white shirt was very fitted, making her alluring figure even more striking.

Beneath the black, tight-fitting pencil skirt were breasts that were so rounded they were almost unsettling.

Black stockings and 10cm high heels made Xingguang, who was already quite tall, appear even taller. Combined with her slender, frameless glasses, Xingguang exuded a capable and strong businesswoman aura.

"Boss, what can I do for you?"

Starlight asked.

She didn't address Depp by his real name or "brother" directly, but rather by the more formal title, "boss."

After all, we're at the company now.

Starlight is quite satisfied with this new name.

In the past few days, she has fully adapted to the work of an urban white-collar woman.

Of course, she's only a white-collar worker in front of Depp; in front of others, Starlight is a true gold-collar worker!

Once upon a time, Starlight always harbored his own superhero dream.

In a sense, she did live the kind of superhero life she had always longed for.

Of course, the lives of superheroes differ from what Starlight imagines in many details.

This is also why she was willing to join The Boys to fight against Vought and Homelander.

Back then, Starlight was just a naive child, unaware of the darkness and filth of the world.

But if you stay in the river long enough, even if Starlight is an idiot, it will gradually grow up.

Mo Yan once said that people who are kind by nature mature late, and are forced to mature by bad people.

That's what starlight is like.

Once innocent and naive, she began to mature rapidly after joining Vought International and becoming one of the Seven Heroes of the Mighty Ages.

Having experienced everything in the past, Starlight had long felt bored and instinctively disgusted with the titles and life of a superhero and a goddess of light.

Right now, all I want is to live a happy life as an ordinary person.

Therefore, she is very satisfied with her current status.

She is the second-in-command of Depp Broadcasting and News, and everyone except Depp has to listen to her.

Seeing Starlight's obedient demeanor, Depp said with satisfaction, "Close the door, and then... come over here."

Upon hearing this, Xingguang did not ask any further questions.

To her, Depp was like a savior, someone who had rescued her from the abyss time and again.

Compared to "boss," in Starlight's heart, she usually automatically refers to Depp as another word... "owner."

Yes, facing Depp who saved her several times and gave her a new life.

Starlight felt that living as a pet for them was not bad.

Starlight walked lightly to Depp, her expression calm, but deep down she was both nervous and expectant.

Nervousness stems from the unknown, while anticipation comes from the fantasies in one's own mind.

Depp stood up, took Starlight's hand, and led her to his chair.

“Sit here quietly and close your eyes.”

Depp said gently.

"Ah."

Upon hearing Depp's words, Starlight felt a shiver run through her body and slumped into the chair.

With her eyes closed, Starlight's heart suddenly began to beat faster.

The mix of nervousness and anticipation completely captivated Xingguang.

Suddenly, Starlight felt a pair of long, strong hands gently stroking her hair.

After gently stroking her a few times, Depp moved his hands over Starlight's cheek and shoulders, beginning to massage her.

“You’ve been working too hard lately, Starlight,” Depp said softly, gradually increasing the pressure of his stroking and kneading. “You need to relax. Let me give you a head and shoulder massage.”

Starlight gave a soft "hmm," her face blushing.

The owner gave me a massage, it felt so good.

Starlight's mind was filled with happiness, but her breathing gradually calmed down under Depp's skillful touch.

“So comfortable...”

Starlight couldn't help but say.

suddenly,

Jingle bell~

The office door was pressed by a lovesick little simp.

Depp frowned and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"

Then she continued massaging Xingguang.

As for Starlight, she was completely absorbed in Depp's massage and didn't hear the doorbell at all.

Outside the office, Queen Maeve and Kimiko approached Benedict, who was silently weeping by the wall.

Kimiko reached out and patted Benedict on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't cry, you and she aren't a good match."

Upon hearing this, Maeve glanced at her watch and nodded, saying, "That's right, Starlight has been inside for almost four hours. It's not that I don't trust you, but you definitely couldn't do it."

Benedict looked speechlessly at the two women beside him, tears streaming down his face, even faster than before.

Then, a pale blue afterimage flashed by, and Benedict disappeared from the Depp Broadcasting Corporation's office building.

However, compared to the trajectory created by Depp using the Speed ​​Force, the trajectory behind Benedict was significantly shorter.

Similarly, Bennini's running speed is nowhere near that of Depp.

It can reach a maximum speed of about 1.5 times the speed of sound.

Furthermore, aside from running at extremely high speeds, Benedict has not yet mastered the ability to pass through objects by vibrating his own molecular structure.

Of course, not to mention things like hand-drawn lightning bolts.

Along the way, a heartbroken Benedict ran from Depp's company to Chicago to stop a gang shootout. From Chicago, he sped forward, crossing mountains and oceans, finally collapsing on the streets of India, utterly exhausted.

Beside him, four dark-skinned Indian men approached the fair-skinned foreigner with lewd smiles.

The last guy was dragging a lizard that was foaming at the mouth.

In the office,

Maeve flicked a wisp of lightning still lingering in the air with her finger and said, "Is this what that guy's ability is? It seems to be much stronger than most speed runners, and quite different from those guys."

Kimiko looked in the direction where the traces disappeared, shrugged, and said, "I don't know either, but the way he ran away was really pathetic!"

Maeve leaned against the wall, looking at the door to Depp's office, and licked her lips.

"I really don't know what that man tastes like. If Starlight can't handle it, I think I can go and help her."

Upon hearing this, Kimiko asked in surprise, "You also want the boss to massage your head and shoulders?"

Maeve, who had attended Vought's exclusive annual party several times, said nonchalantly, "Of course! Don't you... want to?"

The adorable Kimiko pursed her lips and stopped speaking, but a barely perceptible longing flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, my shoulders have been inexplicably sore lately. A massage should relieve it a lot."

It had been a very long time since anyone had massaged Kimiko after French was executed.

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Kimiko's eyes, and she silently returned to her workstation, lost in thought.

Two hours later, Depp drew his sword, walked from the edge of the chair to the window, and sat down.

Starlight, sitting in the chair, still had an expression of lingering pleasure on her face, and her body was still trembling.

A dozen minutes later, Xingguang finally came to her senses. She looked around as if waking from a dream, then wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and stood up.

Depp glanced at the completion status of the system task, a hint of joy and a speechless, gentle expression flashing across his face.

Mission Name: Save the Starlight and help it emerge completely from the shadows.

Task completion progress: 99%.

Mission Reward: Key to The Boys.

To my delight, my actions just now did indeed help Xingguang emerge from the shadows.

The downside is that the task completion rate is stuck at a disgusting 99%.
