The road was stuck in traffic for two hours, and by the time Gao Fei and Steve arrived on State Highway 78, it would have been over long ago.

The scene was in a mess, the road was full of car wreckage, several police officers and rescue workers were cleaning up the scene, and there were still several remains covered in white cloth that had not been removed in the distance.

Gao Fei and Steve ran over nervously, and a police officer at the scene rushed up to meet them.

"Officer Goofy, Officer Steve, you... are finally here."

This "finally" is used very well, and Gao Fei has an embarrassed expression.

Before, he always complained about the slow arrival of NYPD's armed support, but today he finally realized that he couldn't blame them. In terms of the bad road conditions in New York, it was already very lucky to be able to arrive before dark.

"Sorry, there's a traffic jam." Gao Fei said helplessly.

"I should have known I should have come here on a motorcycle," Steve said with an afterthought.

"How's the situation? Where's Tom Cooper?" Goofy asked quickly.

The police officer said: "The situation is not bad, and Tom Cooper is safe and sound. In fact, thanks to him, we can defeat the kidnappers today. This kid is very capable..."

Before the words were finished, a young man in pajamas, unkempt and embarrassed, walked over not far away. There was no doubt that he was the kidnapped victim Tom Cooper.

"Hello, Officer Goofy, thank you for saving me..." Tom Cooper said sincerely.

Gao Fei felt ashamed for a while, he didn't feel that he was of any help.

"Ahem, you also saw that I was late, so I deserve your gratitude." Gao Fei said.

"No, I was knocked down by these kidnappers with a tranquilizer gun, and I fell unconscious in the car. It was you who woke me up in time and asked me to create a series of explosions to attract the attention of the nearby police, which prevented me from being killed by these kidnappers. The kidnappers were taken out of New York... I was rescued thanks to you." Tom said gratefully.

Only then did Gao Fei know that Tom had been in a coma before.

"So you should really thank me." Gao Fei no longer polite, nodded and admitted.

"By the way, where is the kidnapper now? Are there any police casualties?" Looking at the corpse at the scene, Gao Fei asked quickly.

A look of grief flashed across the face of the police officer beside him.

"One police officer died, two police officers were injured... There were five kidnappers in total, one escaped, and the remaining four were killed on the spot."

Hearing the news of the death of the policeman, Gao Fei and Steve couldn't help but feel depressed. They walked to the side of the martyr's body and silently mourned the policeman's last journey.

Afterwards, Gao Fei saw the whole process of the incident on the dashcam of a car at the scene-the NYPD bravely stopped the suspect vehicle and confronted the kidnapper head-on.

The police officer who died was directly shot and killed by the kidnappers in the process of stopping the kidnappers' vehicle. The rest of the NYPD police officers immediately sought cover and launched a counterattack.

The kidnapper's weapons are obviously superior to NYPD, which makes it impossible for NYPD to gain the upper hand in a short period of time.

But fortunately, the NYPD has a numerical advantage, and the kidnappers could not escape under the suppression of firepower.

The clever Tom Cooper interfered when the two sides were exchanging fire. He first used his ability to detonate the ammunition pack on the kidnapper, and then slipped out of the car to detonate the fuel tank of the kidnapper's car.

Only one kidnapper, the co-driver, was vigilant enough to escape from the car before the explosion. The rest of the kidnappers were all buried in the sea of ​​flames, burning with the off-road vehicle...

After watching what happened, Gao Fei and Steve glanced at each other, and then involuntarily looked at the alien Tom Cooper standing not far away.

"Kidnapping people with superpowers is really a high-risk job..." Steve sighed sincerely.

"Who says it's not." Gao Fei shrugged, "If you don't play well, you're shooting yourself in the foot."

Chapter 232 Psychological Evaluation

The day after Tom Cooper was rescued, Goofy brought him to Baxter Mansion.

Now that he's blown up four kidnappers on the interstate, he needs a psychological evaluation.

In fact, Tom's mental state was really not good these two days. On the way, he told Gao Fei that he woke up several times from nightmares last night.

Whether it is a superpower or an ordinary person, whether it is self-defense or active aggression, it is never a wonderful experience to suddenly kill four people. If it is not handled properly, then this matter can even destroy Tom Cooper's life.

Susan Storm arranges for Tom to be evaluated, while Reed Richards takes care of Goofy.

"I've heard about Tom. It's really thrilling. If the NYPD hadn't discovered it in time, Tom might have been transported to a secret base by now." Reid said.

"That's right, it's actually thanks to the Superpowers Registration Act that we can protect superpowers in time," Gao Fei said.

"By the way, have the identities of those kidnappers been confirmed?" Reid asked.

"It's hard to be sure." Gao Fei frowned, "That explosion destroyed a lot of evidence."

At this time, "The Stone Man" Ben Grim also came to join the chat, and the big man was worried about Tom's affairs.

"Officer Goofy, why was Tom Cooper targeted by these kidnappers? Is it because his registration led to the leakage of his personal information?"

Gao Fei shook his head: "It's unlikely, Tom completed the registration last Friday, and the data was updated to the system over the weekend, but he was kidnapped this Monday—even if the kidnappers are well-informed and ready to It won't be so short."

Ben still couldn't let go of his mind: "But after the implementation of the Superpowers Registration Act, the information of all superpowers in New York has been recorded. If this information falls into the wrong hands, then..."

Reed couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, my Ben, don't you think that those bad guys with ulterior motives can only rely on us to obtain information about superpowers? If superpowers don't come to register with us, then those bad guys will never know about them exists?"

Reed looked at Ben helplessly, while the latter was full of embarrassment.

"Come on, Ben, if the bad guys are so lazy, just waiting for a ready-made bargain, then there is no need for us to fight them, the bad guys will be extinct by themselves..." Reed shrugged.

Ben scratched his huge head, knowing that Reed was right.

Gao Fei also nodded and said: "Yes, Ben, if someone plots against the superpower, no matter whether the superpower is registered or not, they will have a way to obtain the superpower's information..."

This sentence is not Gao Fei's nonsense. In fact, the God (jiu) Shield (tou) Bureau (she) has been recording information about superpowers since Captain Marvel appeared 20 years ago (see the American drama "Agents of SHIELD" for details. The first quarter of the first episode).

It's just that S.H.I.E.L.D. collects them secretly, without the consent of the person with superpowers, nor is it supervised by other departments.

By the time Tony Stark announced his identity as Iron Man, S.H.I.E.L.D. had entered most of the superpowers in the world into the database ("Iron Man 2", the background of the large computer screen when Tony and Fury talked) .

Not to mention Hydra's insight plan, let alone you are a superpower who conceals your identity, even potential superpowers who have not yet obtained superpowers can be found out for you (Doctor Strange)...

It can be seen that the bad guys don't care about the existence of the "Registration Act on Persons with Superpowers". They have their own ways to obtain information about people with superpowers.

On the contrary, groups who really want to protect superpowers have difficulty obtaining their information.

Gao Fei patted Ben on the shoulder: "Ben, the benefits of the registration law are far greater than the harm to superpowers, because bad guys can use whatever means to obtain information about superpowers, but regulars like our NYPD who want to protect superpowers Organizations cannot obtain information about superpowers through illegal means..."

"This has led to information inequality. Bad people know everything about superpowers, and good people know nothing about superpowers..."

"It's like Tom's situation. If Tom is not registered, he is an ordinary citizen in our NYPD's eyes. Then the bad guys kidnap him and use his abilities to do evil. We NYPD are still kept in the dark, thinking that all this is just a joke. Ordinary kidnapping..."

Ben finally understood.

"Then it seems better to sign up."

"Yes, knowing the situation is always better than ignorance. We must take the initiative to control, not react passively. Only when superpowers and ordinary people understand each other can they coexist harmoniously, conceal and hide from each other. It can only create estrangement and misunderstanding..."

"It's like Officer Goofy and Professor Lizard. Why do people support Officer Goofy and fear Professor Lizard? Because everyone knows Officer Goofy. They know that he is a Brooklyn-born Asian police officer. They know that he has a funny uncle and a lovely daughter. ..."

"But everyone doesn't know anything about Professor Lizard. A scaled monster suddenly appeared on the street. Even if he stood there and did nothing, it would still be frightening. Fear comes from the unknown."

Reed said seriously, then turned on a screen next to him, "Look at this."

Gao Fei and Ben looked at the screen, only to see a vast desert appeared on the screen.

"This is...Mexico?" Ben asked in surprise.

"New Mexico, our territory." Reed said.

At this time, the screen changed, and there was a miniature crater in the desert, and in the center of the crater, there was a hammer with a simple shape.

"This is... a hammer?!" Ben looked curious, "What do you mean?"

Reed shrugged: "I don't understand either, but it is said that the hammer appeared along with the crater. The nearby residents claimed that they witnessed the hammer falling from the sky and creating a crater in the desert..."

"And what's weird enough is that this hammer can't be lifted at all. No matter how strong a person or how powerful a machine is, it can't move it."

"That's impossible!" Ben said in disbelief, "A hammer is a hammer, can it still grow on the ground? Besides, if you dig out the sand under it to support it, wouldn't it move! It can't just float In the same place?"

"This..." Reid had nothing to say, why did no one come up with this weird idea?

At this time, the picture turned again, and the camera showed a small town called Old Bridge Town in New Mexico. I saw a steel machine raging on the street, and scorching flames could be ejected from its head...

"My God! Is this a scene from some magical movie?" Ben asked dumbfounded.

Goofy knows what's going on - the fire-breathing steel machine is Odin's armor, "The Destroyer".

Far away in New Mexico, the plot of "Thor" is advancing step by step. Thor, the god of thunder, was deposed by Odin and fell into the world, depriving the power of Thor, while Thor's younger brother Loki sent the Destroyer to assassinate Thor while Odin was asleep. Er, to seek Thor's succession...

Gao Fei sighed, it seems that from now on, the general public will not only have to adapt to a world full of superpowers, but also to a world visited by aliens at any time.

Reed Richards is equally aware of this.

"Everyone has also seen that the world is becoming more and more dangerous. What we should do is to proactively prevent disasters from happening instead of reactively responding, right?"

"Concealing the truth of the disaster, ignoring the existence of superpowers... such negative behaviors cannot save this changed world."

"What we have to do is understand the situation at the moment and act accordingly."

Chapter 233 Tom's Ability

Reid echoed Goofy's view that it was time for a change.

Especially when he knew the follow-up plot and knew that New York was about to usher in an unprecedented catastrophe, he had to let himself, his friends, colleagues, and neighbors live in this world.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help looking at Tom Cooper who was undergoing a psychological evaluation under the guidance of Susan. It was not a coincidence that this stranger was being targeted.

"Have you ever wondered why Tom was kidnapped?"

Gao Fei asked abruptly, while Reed and Ben were still discussing the fire-breathing armor in Old Bridge Town.

Hearing Gao Fei's question, the two quickly turned their faces.

"What?" Ben asked, confused.

"You're asking, why was Tom kidnapped?" Reed repeated Goofy's question.

"Yes." Goofy nodded.

Reed thought for a while: "The people who kidnapped Tom must have taken a fancy to his superpowers. These people must need his superpowers very much... Tom has two kinds of superpowers—one is to detonate and ignite explosives, and the other is to detonate explosives. One is to observe the flow of energy in any individual."

"The first superpower is of little significance. There are so many tools that can detonate flammable and explosive objects... From this point of view, what they need is Tom's second superpower." Reed quickly concluded in conclusion.

"That's right, it's the second superpower. The people who kidnapped Tom needed Tom to help them observe the individual's energy flow." Gao Fei nodded.

In fact, he figured this out as early as yesterday, Tom's ability is a magic skill.

"What's the use of this ability? Why does it feel so useless..." the stone man said frankly.

Reed suddenly realized: "Ben, you are wrong, this ability is not useless... An adult man's daily energy flow is about 2700 calories, and an adult woman's energy flow is 1800. Tom can accurately observe this data. "

"Is this... useful?" The stone man looked disdainful, "I still think this ability is useless..."

Reed raised his forehead, you will die if you think about it!

"Ben, Tom can monitor the data of normal people, as well as the data of people with superpowers, and the number of energy flow in the body of people with superpowers is far higher than that of normal people-that is to say, Tom only needs to look at it, You can tell whether a person is a superpower or an ordinary person!"

"My God!" Ben finally realized suddenly, "So it is! Tom is a walking superpower detection device! Just take this kid with you, and I will find out all the superpowers in New York in minutes!"

Gao Fei smiled and nodded: "Now you know why Tom was kidnapped? I suspect that he was targeted as early as a month ago when he mutated, but the kidnapping plan was not implemented until a few days ago. "

"No wonder these people want to kidnap Tom. With Tom, they can find other superpowers..." Reed said, "Therefore, many organizations have secretly attacked superpowers. The situation of superpowers is very serious." Danger."

"That's right." Gao Fei nodded and said, "Because of this, people with superpowers must stand up and gather together to speak out. Hiding in the dark will not only fail to protect this special group, but will also make organizations with ulterior motives invisible feel like persecuting them..."

"After the implementation of the Registration Act, any organization with ulterior motives trying to attack superpowers must take into account the public opinion of the society and the resistance of other superpowers."

……

Talking here, Tom has completed Susan's psychological evaluation of him, and the result does not seem to be particularly optimistic, which means that Tom will receive psychological treatment in the next period of time.

Reed hurried forward to encourage Tom, and then took the opportunity to ask about Tom's superpowers.

"By the way, Tom, how different is the energy flow between us superpowers and ordinary people?"

"It's very big." Tom explained earnestly, "It's a world of difference. The normal energy flow of superpowers is generally between 100 and 500 times that of ordinary people. Exponential growth...for example, Mr. Richards, your normal energy flow is 300 times that of the average male."

"Why is this?" Susan asked curiously, "But our appetite is not so much larger than ordinary people?"

"This is not only related to the amount of energy intake, but also has a certain relationship with the utilization rate of energy." Reed easily figured out the reason.

"For example, if you use the same amount of the same substance, you use its chemical energy, such as burning gasoline, wood...then the energy it releases is limited, but if you use its nuclear energy, then the energy it releases will be much greater than chemical energy……"
