73. This Place is Very ‘Safe’
"That's how it is, that's how it is," Pietro repeated, his emotions gradually intensifying.
Despite appearing to be an irresponsible troublemaker, Pietro was far from stupid. In fact, with his mutant abilities granting him a superbrain, he could quickly grasp many things.
Rapidly recalling and comparing the similar yet different aspects of the two worlds, coupled with Alex's previous explanations about other universes, Pietro's eyes grew increasingly bright.
The two worlds were very similar yet vastly different, and this was not only reflected in Peter Parker. This world also had the Avengers and Tony Stark, but they were not extreme terrorists. Instead, they were superheroes saving people and maintaining world peace.
This world also had Thor and Doctor Strange, but they were not madmen lost in delusions. They were powerful beings capable of wielding magic and controlling the elements.
Everything was different now!
"What's wrong with him?" Kara asked, confused by Pietro's sudden erratic behavior.
"It's nothing. He just figured some things out," Alex said casually.
Each universe was connected yet different. Though Alex wasn't an expert in physics and rarely understood parallel universe theories in his previous life, experiencing several universes firsthand had given him some insights into the differences between multiverses.
Commonly, most parallel universes were filled with hope. Even amid disasters and sacrifices, heroes always upheld their unyielding spirit to overcome difficulties, something Alex deeply admired.
However, there were always exceptions. As the saying goes, where there is light, there is darkness. Opposite those hopeful multiverses are the dark multiverses steeped in despair.
Previously, Alex had always scoffed at the idea of the 'dark multiverse.'Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
But after experiencing Pietro's ruined universe firsthand, Alex began to take these ominous, chaotic multiverses more seriously.
"No wonder you said my universe wasn't worth saving. It seems you were right," Pietro said, slumping on the sofa with a heavy sigh.
But at this moment, this incredibly luxurious place had turned into a gruesome murder scene.
In the room of Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards' children, the eldest son Franklin and the youngest daughter Valeria were forever lost in their sleep, never to awaken again. At the door of the room lay their mother, the Invisible Woman Susan, in a pool of blood.
"The killer struck while they were asleep. The wounds are all in the heart, a single fatal blow," Moon Knight concluded after a simple examination of the two children's bodies. "The target was clearly the children."
"What kind of monster would do something so cruel?" Kate Bishop, the second Hawkeye, breathed heavily. She had a good relationship with the Fantastic Four and was often invited to gatherings. Seeing such a brutal scene, a surge of anger rose from her heart.
"They were good people. This tragedy should not have happened to them."
"But it has," Cable said through gritted teeth. "If we don't find this criminal quickly, other superheroes will be targeted next."
"We shouldn't keep this under wraps any longer. Nick Fury doesn't understand the severity of this situation. We must inform the other superheroes, or everyone will be in danger," Kate insisted.
"What do you want us to say? It's been so long, and many of our friends have already sacrificed their lives. If we tell others now that we kept this information to ourselves and investigated alone, don't you think they'll come after us?"
Kate was infuriated. "So we should keep hiding it? Our investigation hasn't yielded any results, and we have no useful information until now. Should we use others' lives as clues to solve this case?"
While the others argued, Moon Knight continued to observe the scene, trying to find clues about the killer and how the crime was committed without alerting anyone.
After carefully thinking it over, Moon Knight stood up slowly and spoke in a serious tone, interrupting the others' quarrel.
"I know how the killer murdered them."
