Chapter 465 Superhuman Missing Person Incident (1)
"You don't seem particularly happy?"
Yang Le swallowed the bacon in his mouth. You should know that vacation was Yang Le's favorite thing when he was a child. He even had the idea of bombing school to get a vacation when he was a child. Unfortunately, he lived in China, not Beika Town, Japan. Bombs weren't that easy to get, and that thing called a bomb was not something he, who looked like a child and had the intelligence equivalent to an ordinary person at the time, could handle.
"No, it's just that I feel like I suddenly have too much time, and I'm a little overwhelmed."
Gwen played with the bacon on the plate with a fork, casually put a piece into her mouth, and repeatedly chewed it with her teeth.
"Then how about using this week to return to the super hero life again?"
Yang Le spread butter on the toast. He didn't expect that his half-joking suggestion would actually pique Gwen's interest.
"That's a good idea." Gwen slammed her hand on the table, making a loud thud. The force was so great that the plate on the table flew up a few centimeters.
Also flying off the desk was the cup filled with juice. Fortunately, Gwen was quick-eyed and grabbed the cup, and then caught the falling juice, otherwise the juice might have spilled all over the place.
"Whew~." Gwen put the cup back on the table, smiling triumphantly. "Safety."
However, when Gwen looked at Yang Le wanting to show off, she saw Yang Le, who was drenched in juice, looking at her with a disapproving gaze.
"Sorry~" Gwen stuck out her tongue awkwardly.
...
Yang Le, who had changed clothes, sat on the sofa and began to browse today's Daily Bugle.
Actually, the Daily Bugle isn't the best newspaper, but when it comes to superhumans, no newspaper currently surpasses them in professionalism.
Perhaps because Spider-Man doesn't exist in this universe yet, J. Jonah Jameson has channeled his passion into other superhumans, which has actually led the Daily Bugle to become one of the top newspapers in the industry specializing in superhumans.
Of course, most of their reports are negative, and only a few superheroes receive unbiased reviews. However, this is already the highest level of praise J. Jonah Jameson can give.
But even though their evaluations of superhumans are unfair, when it comes to news about superhumans, you really can't find a more comprehensive source than the Daily Bugle.
And sure enough, Yang Le quickly found an interesting piece of news tucked away in the corner of the newspaper.
"Superhuman Missing Person Incident?"
Gwen's voice came from behind, followed by a pleasant smell. Yang Le knew it was the smell of the body wash Gwen had been using recently, because he had just used it last night.
Gwen leaned her body against the back of the sofa, then brought her head close to Yang Le's head, and to save effort, rested her head directly on Yang Le's shoulder.
"There have been frequent population disappearance incidents recently," Gwen began to read from the newspaper.
"However, please, ordinary people, don't worry. All those who have disappeared are registered mutants, or other superhumans who have gained superpowers for some reason. Currently, there is no news about ordinary people missing, but this newspaper still reminds the masses to pay attention to their safety and not to go to dangerous blocks..."
As she read, Gwen's voice trailed off. Her eyes began to quickly scan through the useless nonsense, and finally, after finding useful information, she read again.
"Since a month ago, there are currently 12 known missing superhumans. The following is the missing person list collected by this newspaper, which may not be complete but is absolutely true."
The rest was just character information, so there was no need to read it aloud. Gwen reached out and took the Daily Bugle from Yang Le's hand and began to ponder.
"Honey, what do you think?"
"I think there must be something fishy about this," Yang Le said, putting his hands behind his head and looking up at Gwen's beautiful face.
"A month's time isn't long or short, but for so many superhumans to disappear for no reason in such a short time, there must be some big secret hidden behind it."
Superhumans, people who surpass ordinary people. Although not all superhumans have combat ability, judging from the abilities of these superhumans listed in the Daily Bugle, these individuals all possess superpowers with a certain degree of lethality.
"Currently, I have three ideas," Yang Le said, holding up three fingers on his right hand.
"First, it could be ordinary people who discriminate against and hate mutants or other superhumans who attacked these superhumans."
"Second, it could be that some faction kidnapped these superhumans for some purpose. These factions are likely to be the government, the military, or A.I.M. who attacked Midtown High School yesterday."
"Third, it could be that those superhumans know each other. They gathered together for some purpose, and they want to accomplish something, so they have to temporarily disappear from the public eye."
Facing Yang Le's analysis, Gwen nodded frequently. She felt that each of Yang Le's analyses had considerable plausibility, but the most dangerous thing in investigation is indecision. So even if she's wrong, she must first choose one as the prioritized investigation direction.
However, facing the choice of which one to choose, Gwen felt conflicted. She was afraid that her mistake in judgment would lead to wasted time, thus causing those disappeared superhumans to lose their life.
Yang Le looked at Gwen's furrowed brow and immediately understood her idea. Gwen was obviously caught in the dilemma of wanting to choose everything. This dilemma originated from her kindness, which is also one of the reasons why Yang Le liked Gwen.
"You seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding, Gwen."
Yang Le's sudden opening interrupted Gwen's thoughts. When she raised her head, she saw Yang Le's peaceful gaze, and reflected in them, her own furrowed brow.
"We are going to investigate this thing, but you don't need to take on responsibility that doesn't belong to you."
"What does this mean?" Gwen looked at Yang Le blankly.
"No one can be perfect, Gwen," Yang Le said solemnly.
"Indeed, our mistake in judgment may lead to some accident for these people, but at least we have made an effort to save them. Even if we fail to save them, you don't need to morally burden yourself."
"You should know that self-pity is the most useless thing. Instead of wasting time on that, it's better to find out the real mastermind, and then give him a couple of punches, break his spine so that he can never do the same thing again in his life. That's more useful than anything else."
"Okay." Gwen's gaze flickered. She didn't completely agree with what Yang Le said, but she agreed with one thing: thinking too much is useless, it's better to take action first.
She had heard the story of waiting for a rabbit by a tree stump.
