Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 89 The Disguise Fails, Lien Chan (Fourth Update)

The sound of hurried footsteps approached from afar, causing Gwen, who was about to say something, to immediately turn around.

Fortunately, it was just footsteps; the enemies who had noticed the commotion were simply heading back and hadn't shown themselves yet.

After figuring things out, Gwen instinctively wanted to turn around and run away with Luca.

But when she turned around again, she found...

In the short time it took for him to turn his head to investigate, Luca had already disappeared from behind him.

"This coward!"

Gwen muttered a curse under her breath.

In this situation, Luca had disappeared without a trace. In her opinion, the only possibility was that he had heard the footsteps and then abandoned her and ran away.

Moreover, they might have been using some strange invisibility ability to escape, which is why I was caught off guard and didn't notice them.

Fortunately, there's only one path through the sewers.

With enemies all in front of him, Luca could only have escaped by following the corner the enemies had just turned.

Gwen naturally followed this path.

However, because of this brief moment of distraction, the enemies who had followed the footprints earlier at the end of the sewers revealed themselves again.

Upon seeing Gwen, these men immediately raised their guns and began firing without saying a word.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire was deafening, making the otherwise empty sewer particularly noisy.

Fortunately, Gwen's injury was only serious, mainly affecting issues like muscle strength.

The Spider-Sense ability that Spider-Man possesses is not diminished as a result.

Unless it's an unbelievable, guaranteed hit like Luca's, it's very difficult for ordinary long-range attacks to hit Gwen, who can anticipate danger, unless there's a wide-area blockade.

She simply dodged and weaved a few times, and all the bullets that were fired missed.

By the time these people caught up, Gwen was already almost at the corner.

"Chase! Don't let her run away!"

At the captain's command, the rest of the team members immediately followed.

However, it wasn't until the last two were about to pass him that the captain spoke up to remind them.

"You two stay here and see if there are any survivors. Also, watch over this mech and wait for us to return!"

"Yes!"

The two subordinates immediately stopped, while the captain and the others quickly chased after Gwen in the direction she had disappeared.

However, before these people could run very far...

Of the two who remained, one of them suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait a minute?! There's one extra one?!"

The man originally intended to follow his captain's orders, stay here to treat his teammates, and guard the spoils of war.

But he only realized it when his gaze fell on the ground.

Originally, there should have been six teammates left here, but now there are seven fully armed people lying haphazardly on the ground.

Upon hearing his exclamation, the captain who had been about to continue chasing also slowly stopped.

The two people running ahead of him also slowed down.

However, it was at this moment that...

A 'corpse' that was lying on the ground, with its helmet smashed and seemingly dead beyond any doubt, suddenly leaped up.

And with a powerful stomp of his feet, he rushed to the person who had just spoken at a terrifying speed far exceeding that of humans.

"You talk too much!!"

In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared.

Then the 'corpse' threw a straight punch with its right hand, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking. With a 'boom'.

Before the guy could even react to what was happening, his helmet exploded on the spot.

His entire face caved in, and he flew backward quickly, his face covered in debris.

"Indeed, compared to fists, grips are more effective at unleashing the power of the sweet captive."

Looking at his blood-soaked fist, Luca muttered to himself.

Yes, the guy lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse is none other than Luca, that cunning bastard.

In reality, even with the electric shocks from the [Tuxedo] that enhanced his physique, Luca couldn't possibly have disappeared around the corner the instant Gwen turned around.

He simply activated the [Transformation Watch] ability at the same time Gwen turned around, scanned a corpse he had killed, and then used projection to cover it up and disguise it.

Luca had originally planned to lie there secretly and try to wait until these people ran past before launching a sneak attack from behind.

If the timing is right, a well-charged, wide-range 'ion decomposition ball' might be enough to wipe out this whole group.

To everyone's surprise, the opposing captain not only left two people to treat the wounded, but before everyone had even run far, one of them noticed the unusual situation at the scene.

Left with no other option, Luca had to launch a sudden attack and take down one of them first.

As for Gwen, who was being chased.
Luca will definitely be saved.

After all, he had just returned the 'web launcher' to the other party, and Luca also wanted to get the formula for the 'web liquid' from the other party.

If he gets killed, who knows when Luca will be able to collect 'Conan 5/5' again and crack the 'Spiderweb Liquid' again.

However, Luca wouldn't care much if the other party got injured during the chase.

Currently, apart from the captain, there are three fully armed enemies remaining.

The others didn't notice the commotion behind them and all chased after Gwen around the corner.

Looking at the current situation, Luca casually shook his fist and said softly.

"Perfect, we've left a big fish behind, let's capture him alive first!"

As he spoke, Luca gave the four people opposite him a friendly smile.

However, he had not yet deactivated his transformation.

The blood-soaked, mangled face scanned by the watch looked rather terrifying to the people opposite.

Fortunately, the people on the other side were all experienced special forces soldiers. Although they still didn't know what Luca was, since they had already started fighting, they confirmed that he was the enemy.

The men immediately raised their guns in unison and began firing.

Unfortunately for Luca, who was well-prepared, he only needed to exert a little force with his feet to dash sideways.

With the combined power of [Strength-Enhancing Shoes] and [Tuxedo], he appeared as elusive as a ghost.

After quickly dodging the incoming bullets, before these people could even turn their guns around again...

Luca lightly touched the wall with his toes, quickly turned around and rushed to the front of an enemy.

This man was quite experienced and didn't intend to continue shooting at this moment.

He swung his submachine gun directly at Luca's head.

However, Luca simply raised his hand and deflected the gun barrel that was about to smash into his face with a graceful parting of his mane.

Then, his right arm, no longer under the control of the [Tuxedo], suddenly shot out and grabbed the neck of the enemy in front of him.

next moment.

"Click~"

The person in front of me had his spine broken, just like a chick.

Luca, however, spoke softly with a calm expression.

"The first one~"
