Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 1460 - Bigshot Wrapping Up, and the Final Surprise

Chapter 1460: Bigshot Wrapping Up, and the Final Surprise

While everybody was celebrating in the Bat Cave, Luke and Selina got into the police car and returned to their roles as police officers to maintain order in Manhattan.

As for their whereabouts in this battle, Luke had already come up with a solution.

The Thousand Faces System and a couple of robots that completely imitated their physiques weren’t good enough yet to not come across as strange when interacting with people, but in today’s chaos, they were enough to fool the outside world.

The enemy they had encountered this time was an alien army. The soldiers’ mechanical bodies were very resistant to bullets; even shooting them seven or eight times with a pistol might not work. Only a rifle could just barely break through their defenses.

Coupled with the fact that the other party basically had control over the battlefield, it was normal for Luke and Selina not to perform spectacularly.

In fact, elite a.s.sa.s.sins from the Fraternity, Boogeyman John, and others who fought superbly in human society would also be very powerless in the face of the Chitauri army in an open area.

That was because the enemy’s military strength and physical advantages weren’t something that could be contended with using expert marksmans.h.i.+p. Rather, it was armor with outstanding protection and mobility that was more useful.

The special force team and the Avengers proved this point.

Except for Thor and the Hulk, who were cheat-level tankers, the others basically relied on their suits to produce results.

Without suits, most of the special force team would be lucky if they didn’t die, let alone be able to crush the Avengers.

Steve was a seasoned veteran with a super resistant s.h.i.+eld, and had Hawkeye providing backup on the side. Even then, he was almost overwhelmed by hundreds of Chitauri soldiers.

When the number of enemies reached a certain point, and their personal strength wasn’t enough to crush them, this was the result.

So, it wasn’t strange at all that the two robots donning Luke and Selina’s appearances were buried under a fallen building less than five minutes into the battle.

As for why the building collapsed, n.o.body was interested in investigating.

In any case, some Chitauri soldiers had been shooting up the area, and some had even gone into the building to kill “Luke and Selina,” before part of the building collapsed.

Half an hour after the battle was over, a dusty Luke and Selina finally emerged from the building.

After cleaning up, they devoted themselves to their roles as police officers.

The two of them acted very serious and didn’t relax because of the previous battle.

It was the superheroes who had saved New York, not the two detectives.

Based on their usual behavior, it would be impossible for them to remain indifferent after such a disaster.

Nothing needed to be said about their stamina. The two detectives had been trapped after just a few minutes of fighting, and they definitely weren’t as exhausted as the people running around.

Luke had it a little harder. While he was busy with his officer duties, his clone had to check for any possible flaws in the operation.

First, he had to check if there had been any clues left behind when the team withdrew.

Unlike in movies, he would never allow someone he knew to make guesses about his real ident.i.ty or address just from something casually tossed aside.

That was a really low-level mistake.

He also had to deal with the replaceable extra gear that the special force team had used.

The bulk and most of the hardware didn’t matter, but the arc reactors and program control chips inside had to be retrieved.

He just needed to turn invisible, walk over to the equipment, and give them a special “retrieved” stamp.

During this process, he also obtained another harvest — all kinds of Chitauri weapons and equipment, including the soldiers, fliers, and big worms, were stored in his inventory.

However, he only took one big worm battles.h.i.+p.

It was a more intact one which had lost control at the last moment and crashed into the bottom of a building, and the hull basically hadn’t been exposed to the streets.

Many departments would definitely notice its disappearance.

But compared with being filmed collecting the big worm battles.h.i.+ps that were out on the streets, this was still acceptable.

He left that special “retrieved” stamp on one of the walls.

The stamp flashed, and the yellow and red background looked like a bedsheet pattern. The white word “retrieved” in the middle was very eye-catching.

Seeing this stamp, and then connecting it to the mysterious disappearances of the reactors and the big worm battles.h.i.+p, Tony and Nick Fury would understand everything.

It meant that this was the handiwork of the “bigshot who sold everything.” People who were interested and qualified to know would naturally be able to get this information from the two men.

It made perfect sense for this mysterious businessman to retrieve the weapons since he was a supplier.

Luke’s mood picked up as he stamped and looked at his inventory that was gradually filling up.

In this battle, most of the weapons and equipment in his inventory had been used in s.p.a.ce on the other side of the portal.

The clone had used up most of it during the a.s.sault on the first and second mothers.h.i.+ps. Since Luke’s inventory was now empty, it was easier to stuff it with more spoils.

No matter how poor the Chitauri’s technology might be, they were still interstellar, and much better than anything on Earth.

Moreover, it was a completely different matter when they were in Luke’s possession.

For example, Luke using a Glock was on a completely different level from a regular person using a Glock.

Once he had the weapons and equipment to deal with the Chitauri head-on, even the mothers.h.i.+p might not be able to escape him.

That was right, the first mothers.h.i.+p had escaped destruction.

After learning a lesson from the second mothers.h.i.+p, the first mothers.h.i.+p hadn’t slacked off at all when Luke charged in with the nuclear missile. In addition to the s.h.i.+p’s cannons, it also used all sorts of strange weapons.

The clone had been half-crippled less than 30 seconds after it charged through the s.p.a.ce portal for the second time.

Only its upper torso was left.

At that moment, Luke could only use telekinesis on the missile to push it on a curved trajectory for two seconds and then cover the tip with a layer of Annihilation energy.

The next moment, the clone was enveloped in the missile’s explosion, and everything within a radius of 100 meters swiftly compressed into a small point in the center, before it was completely destroyed.

Luke was a little disappointed that his clone had disappeared so quickly.

He wasn’t even sure if the missile had hit the enemy.

Several seconds after he spent 100,000 credit points to summon a new clone, however, the system gave him a long list of experience and credit points.

Surprise, motherf*ckers! Luke sent the Chitauri off with a cheery goodbye.

At the very least, this amount of experience and credit points indicated that the nuclear missile had successfully hit the first mothers.h.i.+p and killed the real Chitauri.

But after paying attention to the system notifications, he couldn’t help but sigh again. He hadn’t caught any big fish..
