"What time is it? Why don't you light the lamp?"

After the Human Torch entered the door, although his sister and brother-in-law all came over to care about his injury, the whole room was dark. He had been trying to avoid the freak on the skateboard. Where did he go along the way?

They are all gone, including the soot from the pipes on their bodies, the seaweed on the bottom of the water, the dirty clothes from the streets...

As soon as these people came up, they touched his face and head. They didn't touch the wound, but they touched him evenly with ashes mixed with sweat.

…

It's okay not to mention this, but Mr. Reed's anger also rose when he mentioned it.

"What are you talking about, if you come back early, will my machine break down? If my machine doesn't break down, will this house bear such a huge power pressure? Without this power pressure, it won't..."

"Okay, okay, brother-in-law, it's all my fault. However, I think it might be a good thing that you were not allowed to successfully test the machine that removes superpowers today."

Reed was confused and asked: "I didn't do it for you...at least I didn't just do it for you. Why is it not a good thing?

By the way, you just happened to be back. You are not injured. Hurry up and light up the fire, then go and repair the line."

Mr. Reed said seriously: "Your sister still wants to watch the TV series."

Human Torch looked shocked: "That's it...that's it? I'm injured! Don't you ask who attacked me?!"

In the darkness, Thunderbolt's questioning voice seemed particularly sharp.

Mr. Reed and the frowning Susan looked at each other, each seeing surprise in the other's eyes.

It turned out that they saw that the Human Torch was not injured at all and thought it was another prank. Anyway, it was not like he had never done such a thing before.

Later, it was discovered that he was indeed injured. His face was just a little red and swollen. At first glance, he looked like he had been slapped in the mouth. At this time, the two of them thought that this guy was trying to flirt with a girl again, but then they met and didn't dump him at all.

style, giving him the strength to persuade him to retreat.

To be honest, this has happened more than once.

Although he is a superhero with powerful power, professional superheroes still have great limitations.

The first threshold that limits them is the ordinary humans they protect.

After rescuing ordinary people whose lives were in danger, they were criticized by public opinion, even incomprehensible, and regarded as criminals. A large number of people who were afraid that they had radiation in their bodies were sued to the court and asked them to move out of the city...

Even worse, in order to create contradictions and gain ratings to make money, some unscrupulous media will deliberately accuse superheroes from an extremely hellish perspective: "Superheroes = Super Destroyers?", "First of all"

Superheroes, so there will be super criminals", "Who gave them the right to harm others?"...and so on.

Especially superheroes like the Fantastic Four represented by Mr. Reed, whose names, faces, and even semi-public addresses can be found by casual searches. They are subject to public criticism and public supervision.

It's even wider.

Saying a bad word or even spitting on the roadside may be photographed by the paparazzi and appear in newspapers and news.

This is the main reason why the Human Torch's debauchery is so infuriating.

The Human Torch will definitely not harm ordinary people. It is normal to chase a girl and be rejected and get slapped in the face. At least it is normal for the Human Torch.

If this were not the case, when facing an ordinary person, the Human Torch would not be able to set him on fire with fire, but he would definitely not be able to dodge or fly away.

so……

To sum up, Mr. Reed, who is known as the smartest person in Marvel, came up with a simple answer that goes straight to the heart: "... Joe, the injury on your face was probably caused by yourself."

"I...this...Wang Defa——?!"

The Thunderbolt's pupils were shaking, with a look of disbelief on his face: "How do you usually look at me! How out of place do I feel in your heart, brother! I was attacked! Do you understand, sneak attack!

That guy was riding a skateboard, and it looked like... it looked like... it looked like it was made of mercury or some other metal, I don't know."

The Human Torch didn't care about the dripping water on his body, or the unpleasant smell on the clothes he bought from the street to disguise himself, and kept talking like a cannon.

"That guy is very strong! Moreover, he definitely found me on his own initiative!"

Along the way, the other party's perseverance gradually made Pilihuo figure out some things. No matter how careless he was, he now understood.

As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he asked himself "the person who uses fire". His goal was clear and he didn't talk nonsense at all. He was also very patient in chasing, but he didn't kill him. It was obvious that he wanted to get some information from him, or simply just for him.

Comes with the ability to use fire!

Of course, the Human Torch was still cautious and didn't reveal the fact that he set off fireworks several times in broad daylight and ended up attracting the other party to him.

He only said that he had no energy now because it was consumed by fighting with the opponent and chasing him.

Obviously, in total, he didn't fight the opponent even ten times, but in Thunderbolt's words, the battle he fought was so shocking that it made the gods cry!

The other party is called a fierce and omnipotent person...

Mr. Reed, who has always been shrewd and calm, was confused, not to mention the sister who had doted on him since childhood, and the honest stone man Ben.

Susan and the Stone Man exchanged greetings with Jonathan, the Human Torch who had managed to escape the catastrophe, and were concerned about whether he had suffered any internal injuries or brain damage. The other had already moved the body of the strong man and ran to the door to observe the outside.

The streets were guarded.

As expected, lies that are nine percent true and one percent false are the most difficult to detect. Susan and the Stone Man believed it 100%.

There was only Mr. Reed. Although the Human Torch's statement sounded impeccable and he couldn't find anything wrong with it, Mr. Reed still felt that something was wrong based on his understanding of the Human Torch and his experience of being deceived for many years.

place.

Although, he himself couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Qiao, what you said is really true?"

Mr. Reed felt that if the opponent was really as powerful as the Human Torch said, and could find him inexplicably every time when he was almost chasing him, there was no reason why he couldn't catch him now.

Also, what’s the purpose.

Obviously the other party could just capture him and take him somewhere and slowly interrogate him.

unless……

Before Mr. Reed came out, the Human Torch stopped and jumped up with a look of aggrievement: "At this time, you still doubt me, am I really the only one who was captured by that freak, or is it less?

Arms, legs, etc., so you can believe that I didn’t lie to you!”

Mr. Reed's IQ is super high, but his emotional intelligence is really low, otherwise he wouldn't have failed in all his businesses and couldn't even attract investment.

He casually added: "Logically speaking, things should develop exactly as you said."

The Human Torch's voice was louder at that time, and he told all his heartfelt feelings about being chased all over the map. Mr. Reed also realized as soon as the words came out of his mouth that he had once again committed the old habit of low emotional intelligence.

, just kept nodding and admitting his mistake.

Susan watched her brother and her man quarreling, trying to persuade one and the other. Even Ben, the stone man who was guarding the door obediently, came over to break up the fight. Suddenly, the scene was as chaotic as a pot of porridge. The four people

Talking, it sounds like there are more than ten people.

"alright!"

Finally, the stone man, who was rarely loud, finally stopped the group of companions with one final word.

"Qiao, tell me now, have you lied?"

The stone man said to the thunderbolt fire.

"No."

Human Torch Jonathan also replied directly.

"Okay, I believe you."

Turning his head, the stone man said to Mr. Reed who looked embarrassed and helpless: "Reed, what's your attitude?"

Mr. Reed looked sideways at Human Torch: "I'm sorry, Joe, I just... I believe you, really. But...

Okay, no buts. Sorry."

Bang! The stone man clapped his hands: "The problem is solved. Now let's solve the next problem. Reed."

Mr. Reed nodded. The Fantastic Four's internal combat meetings, planning, and command rights are generally in the hands of Mr. Reed.

Although his emotional intelligence is not very good, everyone admits that Reed's IQ never disappoints.

"Since what Joe said is true, then it is obvious that the powerful enemy on the skateboard is looking for something. He may not necessarily be someone [who can use flames], but it may also be someone who can only use flames.

Something that can only be done by someone who can do it, or something that can only be obtained by someone who can use fire.

This point is still uncertain. Moreover, since the other party has not made a fatal move, it means two things. First, that thing or the person who is needed is not yet sure who it is or where it is. The other party is just looking for it.

.

Second, he will definitely come to our door again, and it is very possible that he is looking for us now, in this city, in the neighborhoods around us."

After listening to Reed's statement, everyone was a little worried, because judging from Human Torch's description just now, the opponent seemed to be unreasonably strong.

Susan has never liked fighting, so she asked worriedly: "Then should we take the initiative to find it, or leave for now..."

"……well……"

An unfamiliar sigh came from somewhere. Although Susan didn't like fighting, it was precisely because of this that she used her abilities extremely frequently and skillfully. Halfway through her words, she heard this sigh.

, opened his hands, and a faintly visible light blue protective shield appeared above the heads of the four people.

There was darkness all around, and the Human Torch was now muted. The four of them turned their backs to each other in the protective shield, carefully looking for the source of the sound.

"You have indeed wronged him. I am indeed looking for someone who can use fire, and I have been listening to you outside. You guessed it all right."
