"You're not right!"

"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 home to New York from the international waters of the Atlantic 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 wasn't a good person, or even if Su Quan wasn't 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 and origin, his purpose for coming to this world, and some basic common knowledge about the multiverse.

As a doctor, although a doctor of blood, Martina Bancroft's ability to accept things was still very 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, that goes without saying; after all, in a diverse country like the United States, there are too many religious beliefs, and even if one doesn't actively learn about them, one can know a thing or two in daily life.

So it wasn't difficult to accept.

What Martina Bancroft found truly 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 wishful thinking!

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

When she fell asleep in Su Quan's arms, 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 Horizon Labs. As soon as they entered the door, they saw several police officers in uniform questioning the lab staff.

A black police officer with a familiar face saw Su Quan and the other walking in and walked straight over.

"FBI agent, Simon Stroud."

He took out his ID 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 took this ship out to sea last night, but according to satellite and ship positioning, it didn't dock at any port or island during the voyage."

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

Obviously, Simon Stroud had already treated Martina Bancroft and Morbius as suspects.

This was normal; after all, they got on the ship, and then everyone on the ship died, and only they disappeared mysteriously. Who else would they suspect if not them?

Moreover, there was so much medical equipment in the ship's lab, and only the two of them had the relevant capabilities; it was clear they couldn't be separated from the incident!

"Roman 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 Roman 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.

Originally, 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, Roman Pearce."

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

Who the hell is Roman Pearce? My name is Simon Stroud! Simon Stroud!!!

"Roman Pearce, do you like driving fast cars, and especially like those flashy, 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 questions seriously, otherwise I can only ask you to answer questions in another place."

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

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

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

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

"How did I take her away—haha, it's very simple, just a 'whoosh', and we left."

Simon Stroud's face turned even darker; he couldn't suppress his anger anymore: "Are you playing with me?"

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

"Just a 'whoosh' and you left? Hmph, do you think I'll believe your ghost stories? Why don't you say you left just by closing and opening your eyes?"

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

"Whoosh—"

Before Simon Stroud's warning was finished, it stopped abruptly, as if he had been grabbed by the throat.

He looked around violently.

No, no, still no...

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

"Shit!"

"Where is he!"

Simon Stroud cursed in disbelief and asked Martina Bancroft, who looked as usual, loudly.

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

"……"

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

"This is not scientific!"

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

……

And the picture is Simon Stroud; those who have watched Fast & Furious will recognize this face immediately.
