Chapter 57: Brain in a Vat, Comet Fragment

July 7th, 5:30 PM, downtown Li Jing City.

Beneath a blood-red sky, a pitch-black skyscraper bearing the neon "S.H.C" logo towered into the clouds. At this very moment, on the lowest level of the Hero Company, Blue Pigeon and Executor Zero were staring at each other.

The two remained silent. As if entirely uninterested, Zero quickly looked away from his face.

"This person is highly likely to be my second sister," Ke Mingqing thought. "An S-Rank Superpower User? Why is there a question mark after her Superhuman Species type? Is she hiding something else?"

Through the visor of his helmet, Blue Pigeon quietly observed Zero. She wore a tight black suit that accentuated her sleek, elegant curves. She had the face of a Nordic girl—cold, detached, and seemingly not yet fully matured. He guessed that if she was indeed his second sister, Xia Lingxue, this was likely just one of her frequently used face masks.
