Chapter 676

"Whoosh—"

The sound of breaking air rang out, and Su Quan appeared again in front of the incredulous Simon Stroud.

"You, how did you do that?"

Simon Stroud grabbed Su Quan's arm in a loss of composure. He had encountered many bizarre cases in his many years as an agent, but this was the first time he had seen a real 'great transformation of a living person'!

His worldview had collapsed a bit.

But thinking carefully about the freaks like Spider-Man and Lizard-Man that had emerged recently, his worldview seemed to have collapsed long ago.

And compared to those freaks in tight suits or turning into big lizards, Su Quan's unmasked teleportation was, from the heart, easier to accept.

Su Quan shook off Simon Stroud's hand, patted his shoulder, and said: "The times have changed; all kinds of monsters and demons have come onto the stage, and traditional investigation methods will soon be outdated. Roman Pearce, you have to learn to be flexible."

After speaking, he and Martina Bancroft walked past Simon Stroud toward the elevator.

Simon Stroud didn't stop them, nor did he pursue the questioning; he was just thinking about who this Roman Pearce was!!!

Alright, of course he wasn't thinking about such a boring question; after all, Su Quan's attitude and hints were already very clear.

There were two suspects in this case, and Su Quan had already proven with his actions that he was the one who took Martina Bancroft off the ship; such a frank attitude already indicated that they had nothing to do with the murder case.

Secondly, he was Martina Bancroft's boyfriend, but also one of Morbius's investors; he was able to take Martina Bancroft away, so why didn't he take Morbius?

What was the reason for not taking Morbius?

Finally, Su Quan might have nothing to do with the cargo ship murder case, but he was definitely related to the unknown events behind it, and he also admitted that he was the one who deleted the surveillance on the ship; this was already obstructing official duties.

He had the right to arrest Su Quan.

There were two reasons why he didn't do so.

One: Su Quan had already proven with his actions that he could teleport; let alone arresting him, even if he were arrested and put in prison, he could still go wherever he wanted.

Moreover, such a wealthy person is not so easy to arrest; one can imagine what kind of situation and pressure he would face if he arrested someone unrelated to the case without any solid evidence!

Two: The key now is Dr. Morbius; only by finding him can the next direction of the investigation be determined.

If Dr. Morbius showed any abnormalities, then he was the biggest suspect!

If Dr. Morbius went missing or died, then he would have to talk to Su Quan.

In summary, arresting or restricting Su Quan now had no meaning; instead, it would add countless obstacles to the case.

In Morbius's project lab, Martina Bancroft checked the computer and turned to Su Quan with a solemn expression: "The relevant experimental records have all been deleted; only Dr. Morbius has the authority to delete such important files."

"He has been back!"

Su Quan shrugged: "He didn't just delete the experimental records; he also analyzed the serum here, tested his abilities, and took away all the artificial blood."

Martina Bancroft got up and walked to the artificial blood storage room; sure enough, all the artificial blood inside was gone.

"The most fatal side effect of this serum is that if you don't drink blood for a period of time, it will affect your body and mind. Simply put, if he doesn't drink blood regularly, not only will his body return to its sickly state, but he will also develop an extreme craving for blood, leading to a loss of control."

"To put it bluntly, he is now an alternative vampire who must have blood to maintain his life!"

The effect of artificial blood will become weaker and weaker. Don't look at Morbius now as upright and righteous, as if he were the embodiment of justice, but no one is willing to die, especially Morbius, who has been determined to save his own life since he was a child.

So he will eventually embark on the path of drinking human blood and become an anti-hero who is both good and evil!

It's just—

He can do this, but his friends can't!

Su Quan sneered and said to Martina Bancroft: "Call our big investor, Lucius Crown, and tell him I'll see him in a while."

Martina Bancroft made the call without understanding the meaning and notified Lucius Crown.

A dozen minutes later, in a mansion, Su Quan put his arm around Martina Bancroft and teleported in front of Lucius Crown.

The suddenness and eeriness of the teleportation left Lucius Crown, who was sitting tremblingly on the sofa, dumbfounded.

"You—you guys—how did you—"

"You are going to die!"

Su Quan's words were shocking, but Lucius Crown, who had a look of surprise, didn't show too much astonishment; his expression was more of sadness and anger.

Su Quan raised his eyebrows in realization: "Have you seen Morbius?"

Lucius Crown gave a miserable laugh: "I have, I didn't expect him to treat me like this!"

A few hours ago, before dawn, Lucius Crown, who was sleeping, was woken up by Morbius, who had snuck into his house.

He thought he was dreaming.

Because Morbius's illness was cured; he wasn't using a cane, and his body was much stronger!

"You, you are so strong! Your experiment succeeded? Do you have the medicine that lets us live and cures our illness?"

Morbius's experiment succeeded, their illness could be cured; no one knew how excited Lucius Crown was at that time!!!

But just as he grabbed Morbius's hand, looking forward to recovering his health and enjoying a new life like a normal person, Morbius pulled away.

"I've made a big mistake, brother."

"We all make mistakes, don't worry."

"You've never made this kind of mistake."

"Enough!"

"Give it to me, I need it, I'm sick of this life, please!"

The light was right in front of him; Lucius Crown was already impatient.

But Morbius looked at him and shook his head: "I can't."

"What do you mean you can't?" Lucius Crown was stunned.

"I can't."

"I need it!"

"I did something wrong—I killed someone," Morbius said with remorse.

Lucius Crown comforted him hesitantly: "It doesn't matter, we can handle this kind of thing; those people on the ship were all thugs who took money to do things, I can handle this."

Morbius still shook his head: "You don't understand."

"I understand, please! Have I ever refused you? Have I ever said no to you? I always give you what you want!!!"

Lucius Crown was anxious.

Facing his questioning, Morbius seemed to get angry too, roaring: "I can't control it! I can't control it, do you understand!!!"

Morbius's roar made Lucius Crown feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar; he already understood that Morbius didn't intend to help him, didn't intend to give him the life-saving medicine!
