Super Detective in the Fictional World - Chapter 1430

The first problem was that the missile wasn’t big. It was probably just a tactical nuclear missile, but even if it was, it could only have come from the American government.

It was almost impossible for other forces to launch a tactical missile in Manhattan.

It was much easier to detonate a nuclear bomb.

But if he used this weapon in New York, even if he defeated the Chitauri, how could things be any better?

This might mean that the battle situation had deteriorated to an uncontrollable level, which was why Batman had grabbed the nuclear weapon and was prepared to die with the enemy’s command center.

Luke pondered this for a long time, but deemed it unlikely.

Executing nuclear weapons in any country was a decision that had to be made with great caution. It was difficult to launch them quickly, unless you were prepared to blow up the ground and have both sides perish together.

The American government wouldn’t use a nuclear missile unless there really was nothing it could do.

New York was really insignificant compared with the survival of the entire Earth and mankind. The government wouldn’t mind directly throwing out a weapon like this to destroy the Chitauri army.

But there was a problem with the logic here.

If the situation was serious, the government would have used a large missile. If it wasn’t serious, then there should be a way to solve it with conventional strength, so why the dilemma here?

For the time being, Luke could only leave it to the A.I. program, Bobo, to come up with the most probable scenarios and corresponding countermeasures.

The second problem was that the Bat suit in the painting was different from the one Luke was wearing. That was what he paid the most attention to.

It had to be said that unlike her usual style, Elena’s drawings of the future were very realistic.

From the details in her drawings, Luke was able to infer some things about the equipment of the Chitauri army as well as discover modifications to his own armor.

After he and Alfred analyzed the drawings for several days, they finally figured out something.

The modifications presented in the drawings had probably been made to the current Bat suit. There weren’t a lot, but these external modifications were focused on flight.

The Bat suit’s flight function wasn’t very good, but compared with an ordinary aircraft, it was very small and agile.

Also, Luke knew that he wouldn’t be caught up in a battle with the small flight units which the Chitauri had, since their numbers would make this action meaningless.

The reason he had called Frank back so urgently was for a decapitation strike.

So, it was very likely that he had made these modifications to directly attack the root of the problem.

What was the heart of the Chitauri? It was undoubtedly that mothership, which was the fleet’s command center.

If he had a nuclear weapon, that would be the most cost-effective target.

The heart of the Chitauri fleet wouldn’t be a battleship on some planet, so the armor had been modified to… fly into outer space?

This speculation might not be accurate, but Alfred simulated the armor’s ability to fly into outer space, and soon obtained the expected answer: Several possible modifications could effectively increase the armor’s speed in outer space.

Luke chose to try it out.

Carrying out a physical test was always one way to verify a problem.

He already had a backup Bat suit in his inventory that he could modify.

Despite being busy with all these preparations, Luke didn’t skip work.

Now that NYPD had lost so much manpower, goofing off too much would be too eye-catching.

During this time, it was Selina who drove, checked the case files, and wrapped up loose ends.

From an outsider’s point of view, Luke was at most a little absent-minded, easily distracted and liked to doze.

Nevertheless, he still did his work as a detective.

Ultimately, his efficiency and performance could only be reflected in solving cases, and these could be done quickly with an A.I. program and super abilities.

Apart from Selina, nobody else knew that Luke was purely an extra.

After simple communication with Selina, she naturally took on all the tasks without Luke needing to explain the current situation.

That was the advantage of a 3-star teammate.

If it were Elizabeth or Elsa, they would still worry that Luke had run into some sort of trouble, even if they trusted him.

Not devoting all his attention to the current situation would be a waste of time.

Selina’s daily training had also increased significantly.

Thus, they only worked from eight to three every day.

They did their rounds in the morning, and after working a case, got home before eleven.

They spent the time doing their own thing, with Selina trying out certain training exercises.

After one in the afternoon, they would go out again to work a case, then return home before three.

As long as no one was keeping an eye on them, they didn’t have to work for more than four hours a day.

On the other side, Luke’s clone had been busy nonstop.

If Luke were a computer, 90% of his “dual processor” was occupied by his clone.

Recently, his efficiency at earning experience and credit points had dropped significantly, so the experience and credit points shared by Selina, Damon and Mindy, the little turtles, and Alice, had been a big help.

Thanks to the stealth system, the criminals in New York were completely clueless about their movements.

In the wake of the two legendary Devil Bone Breakers, the “Ghost Vigilantes” was a new legend that was now circulating in New York.

Many low-level hoodlums said that they suddenly fainted while doing something bad.

When they woke up, they were either in NYPD or just lying on the ground.

If they had been alone when this happened, the legend of the Ghost Vigilantes probably wouldn’t have spread so quickly.

But whether it was small lairs with three to eight people or bigger ones with 20 to 30 people, all of them would pass out at the same time, and there were no signs of the attackers at all.

At most, the people in the back would see their comrades suddenly collapse. Before they understood what was going on, they themselves passed out.

This was completely a ghost story.

Of course, Luke wouldn’t tell the criminals that they had contributed significantly in the improvement of the paralysis bullets.

Not only were there paralysis bullets, there were also paralysis darts and other types of paralysis weapons.

Compared with the single nature of bullets, there was a variety of darts and weapons — all these had been modified by Donnie.

The amount of combat data on the paralysis bullets which Selina gave him wasn’t worth mentioning, compared with the little turtles and their master going out together.

After Luke provided everyone with optical camouflage and the Thousand Faces System, they had to find the time to go to the Bat Cave and receive training from Frank..
