Chapter 491: Godlike... Teammate?
10 minutes later, inside the underground safehouse. This place was Ja Ja Ja Ja’s government’s final defence line. Only the only exit was closed, the safehouse could defend against normal war weaponry. But... due to the presence of the traitor, the government officials at Ja Ja Ja Ja did not have the time to escape to this place before the whole building was overthrown. Instead, this place became Prof Sui’s final sanctuary.
“Qie... they cut through everything...” Prof Sui looked at the surveillance images that slowly darkened and he could basically predict the movement of the superheroes.
“Hmm... this is strange.” Staff Dai Dai Dai Dai stood behind the prof and said while looking at the group of screens. “How come their route is not clear and targeted? It is like... they have already known where the safehouse is.”
“Yes... and the robots that we have been sending out from this place have been taken down one after another...” Prof Sui added. The two then said darkly in unison. “Hmm... Why is that?”
“Are you the traitor?!” The two of them gave this reaction at the same time while pointing at each other.
“Are you kidding? Have you lost your mind? I am the boss here! Why would I betray myself?” Prof Sui grumbled.
“Hmph...” Staff Dai scoffed. “Who can really tell... it is because your suspicion is the smallest that you are the most suspicious... Isn’t the least suspicious person most often the killer in detective novels?”
“What nonsense!” Prof Sui replied. “Now there are only two of us left, so clearly the traitor will have to be you! You are only trying to deflect the suspicion by throwing it onto me... He he...” he too scoffed. “Do you think that will work on me? Before my great intelligence, this kind of mind trick will not work!”
Bang—With a heavy thud, the super thick metallic door cracked and three figures sauntered into the safehouse.
“Ah~ They are really here...” Feng Bujue looked at the two before them and said weakly.
“Damn... they arrived so soon...” Prof Sui hissed through his teeth.”
“yes... we follow the trail of the robots and came right to this place without taking any detour...” Brother Jue sighed. “When I saw the nanobot, I had some expectation for your intellect but... aiz... why did I even waste my time to destroy the cameras along the way...”
“What!” Prof Sui and Staff Dai gasped. “So that is how you found us!”
......
“Ha?” This time Feng Bujue really had no idea what they were talking about.
“Hmph... Impressive! I have underestimated you... No wonder you are a super intelligent superhero, you managed to use this kind of method to locate us so quickly...” Prof Sui glared at Brother Jue.
Staff Dai added, “And... you almost caused us to turn on ourselves. Your conspiracy sure is cunning and wicked...”
Hearing that, Feng Bujue was stunned for 2 seconds. Then he took a deep breath. “Hah... pew...”
“Ha! Look, the spaceship from the league is here already!” The Tap Monster shouted at the sky while pointing at it. Feng Bujue naturally also saw the black dots in the sky. He added. “Hmm... there are quite a lot of them. There are like... hundreds of them...”
“Hmm? This is strange...” Pi Li Dance Hero said, “There shouldn’t be so many of them.”
Tap Monster also added. “Hmm... Reinforcement, rescue and capture teams all use medium sized ships and from what I can see... there are only about 10 of them.” He paused. “But why are there so many small size battle ships?”
“They are probably worried that we cannot handle a Grade C Emergency.” Pi Li Dance Hero said half-jokingly.
At that moment, suddenly...
A earth yellow toad-shaped spaceship came out from the fleet. It flew to them with super speed before suddenly stopping. It was a very small ship, even smaller than the Curry. The hatch opened and a man in toad aromor jumped out to stand before Feng Bujue’s group.
“You are under arrest.” Once Toadman landed, he announced to Feng Bujue. This member of USL’s highest committee had a low growl and sturdy built. In terms of physique, he did not know that much different from an earthling but he was wearing a mask so his actual appearance was still an unknown.
“Erm... have you gotten something wrong...” Feng Bujue replied, “Even though I’m not that famous, I’m at least a super...”
“You liar.” Toadman cut him off. His words were strong, powerful and confident. “I used your hair left on the Curry to carry out test, it is undeniable... that you are a pure Earthling. But there is no trace of your DNA on the whole Earth or the other human colonies...” He paused as if he was watching Brother Jue’s expression. “There is no record of your birth, if you have lived on this universe for so long, you must have left some trace; but you... appeared to have materialized from thin air. Even the USL’s supercomputer cannot find any trace of your presence.” He took one forceful step forward. “So, you... must have come from another universe or another dimension...”
Feng Bujue’s expression was unchanged, but internally he was grumbling. [Are you kidding me... This is like the difficulty has suddenly jumped from PONG to Hunk! Where does this super intelligent bastard come from? Does he even exist in the same universe as the people I’ve met so far?]
“Other than that...” Toadman continued. “From your various performance, it is still unclear... whether you are really human.”
“Oh?” Feng Bujue astutely captured some sensitive information. “You were able to know... what I did after leaving the Curry?”
Toadman asked darkly, “Is there any problem with that?”
“Hah...” Brother Jue laughed icily. “I get it now... You have installed micro surveillance device on Pi Li Dance Hero and Tap Monster.”
“What?” When the two heard that, they gasped in shock.
“Is that true, Toadman?” Tap Monster demanded.
“calm down.” Toadman answered. “We will return to the league and discuss this later.”
“I think what he means to say is ‘yes, I did do that but let’s not talk about it before this stranger’.” Feng Bujue translated with a laugh. “If I am not mistaken...” His eyes matched Toadman’s searing gaze. “You should be spying on all superheroes that are star level and above and those who have unique superpowers...”
“Toadman!” Pi Li Dance Hero shouted. “Is it true, what the Poker said...”
“Yes...” Toadman knew what the man was about to say, so he admitted. “I do not deny that.... But I believe you at least need to give me a chance to explain.” He turned to give Feng Bujue a long careful look. “We will discuss everything after we bring this ‘unknown and unidentified threat’ back to the headquarters...”
