Chapter 1236

~7 min read 1,234 words

"You're acting strange!"

"Morbius turned into a monster and killed so many people, yet you aren't afraid at all, and you easily subdued him."

"And..."

"Dr. Morbius just lost control, and you suddenly appeared; now you've brought me back from the international waters of the Atlantic to my home in New York in an instant."

"Tell me, what exactly is going on!"

Martina Bancroft looked at Su Quan with burning eyes; she didn't mind being one of the people by Su Quan's side, nor did she mind if Su Quan was a good person, or even if Su Quan was an 'ordinary' person.

But she did mind deception and concealment!

"How should I put it? It's a long story. I have another identity: I am the ruler at the end of the multiverse timeline, known as the Lord of the Void."

"If you can't understand that, just think of me as God or a deity."

Su Quan hadn't intended to hide his identity forever; after all, when he left, he would take her with him.

Taking this opportunity, he told her everything about his identity, his origins, his purpose in coming to this world, and some basic common knowledge about the multiverse.

As a doctor, although she was a doctor of blood, Martina Bancroft's ability to accept things was quite strong!

From a scientific perspective, the theories of the multiverse and parallel universes had long existed, and related movies and TV shows were everywhere, so it was easy to accept.

From a religious perspective, it went without saying; after all, in a diverse country like the United States, there were simply too many religious beliefs, and even if one didn't actively learn about them, one could know a thing or two in daily life.

So it wasn't difficult to accept.

What Martina Bancroft truly found hard to accept was—this God, this deity, was actually her own man?!

How should I put it? People should have self-awareness. Like Su Quan's previous identity as a wealthy tycoon or a top-tier big shot, it was normal for him to take a fancy to her; after all, she had some confidence in her looks, figure, and talent.

But a multiverse-level deity taking a fancy to her? Sorry, she didn't even dare to dream of such things; after all, there is a certain difference between fantasy and delusional thinking!

Martina Bancroft took ten minutes to accept Su Quan's new identity, but it took her more than two hours to accept the fact that her man was a deity!

When she embraced Su Quan and fell asleep, exhausted as usual, she finally accepted the truth of the matter calmly.

Because after verification, it was still the familiar pairing, still the original taste!

The next day.

Su Quan and Martina Bancroft arrived at the Horizon Lab. Just as they entered from the door, they saw several police officers in uniform questioning the lab employees.

A familiar-looking Black police officer saw Su Quan and the other person entering and walked straight over.

"FBI Agent, Simon Stroud."

He took out his badge to show them and said directly with a clear goal: "This morning, we discovered an unmanned cargo ship with multiple corpses on board."

"According to our investigation, Dr. Martina Bancroft, you and Dr. Morbius went out to sea on this ship last night, but according to satellite and ship positioning, it didn't stop at any port or island during the voyage."

"Can you explain when you and Dr. Morbius left the ship? And how did you leave?"

It was obvious that Simon Stroud had already marked Martina Bancroft and Morbius as suspects.

This was also normal; after all, they got on this ship, and then everyone on the ship died, and only they disappeared mysteriously. If he didn't suspect them, who would he suspect?

Moreover, there were so many medical devices in the lab on the ship, and they were the only two with the relevant capabilities; it was clear they couldn't escape involvement!

"Luo Man Pearce, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Su Quan spoke up.

"Of course the truth!"

"Also, my name is Simon Stroud, not Luo Man Pearce!"

Simon Stroud looked at Su Quan. Although he hadn't investigated this person's true identity yet, he was Martina Bancroft's boyfriend and one of the investors in the project Martina Bancroft and Morbius were researching.

Initially, he hadn't found any connection between him and the cargo ship incident, but his current attitude and reaction made Simon Stroud feel that he might be directly related to this matter!

"Alright, Luo Man Pearce."

Su Quan's playful answer made Simon Stroud, whose face was already dark, even darker.

Who the hell is Luo Man Pearce? My name is Simon Stroud! Simon Stroud!!!

"Luo Man Pearce, do you like driving fast cars, and especially like those flashy but impractical cars?" Su Quan asked with interest.

Simon Stroud said in a deep voice with a dark face: "Mr. Su Quan, you'd better answer my question seriously, otherwise I can only ask you to change places to answer questions."

"Believe me, you won't like that place!"

Su Quan shrugged; this Simon Stroud wasn't as likable as Luo Man Pearce from *Fast & Furious*.

"Alright, since you've amused me, I'll tell you the truth: I was the one who took Martina off that ship, and I was also the one who deleted the surveillance on the ship."

Simon Stroud asked sharply: "How did you take her off?"

"How did I take her off—hehe, it's very simple; it was just a 'whoosh', and we left."

Simon Stroud's face grew even darker; he could no longer suppress his anger: "Are you playing with me?"

Su Quan raised an eyebrow with a half-smile and asked back: "Why do you say that? I'm telling the truth; don't you believe me?"

"A 'whoosh' and you left? Hmph, do you think I'll believe such ghost stories? Why don't you say you left just by blinking your eyes?"

Simon Stroud stared at Su Quan with cold eyes and warned him fiercely: "You'd better cooperate with my questioning and answer my questions seriously, otherwise I..."

"Whoosh—"

Before Simon Stroud could finish his warning, it was as if someone had grabbed his throat, and it came to an abrupt end.

He looked left and right suddenly.

Nothing, nothing, still nothing...

Su Quan had just disappeared right under his nose with a 'whoosh'!

"Shit!"

"Where is he!"

Simon Stroud cursed in disbelief and asked Martina Bancroft, who looked as calm as ever, in a loud voice.

Martina Bancroft shrugged: "I don't know either! But I can tell you that last night, I really just blinked my eyes, and I followed him from the ship back home."

"..."

"This is too absurd, this is too absurd; how can anyone suddenly disappear, and be able to get back home from the sea just by blinking?"

"This is not scientific!"

Martina Bancroft nodded in agreement: "That's what I said at the time too!"

……

PS: The plots of the recent worlds are coherent: *The Amazing Spider-Man*, *Spider-Man*, *New Fantastic Four*, then returning to the mutant world to wrap things up, and finally returning to the main Marvel world to bring it to a close, and then I'll write *The Boys*.

And the picture is Simon Stroud; if you've watched *Fast & Furious*, you'll recognize this face immediately.
