Chapter 236: 236
236. Chapter 236: Reversal! I Can't Tell!
In other words, Homelander and Stormfront waited for two hours but still didn't see Doppelganger appear.
"Is that guy you mentioned even going to show up?" Stormfront's remaining patience was quickly wearing thin.
"Wait five more minutes."
Homelander suppressed his anger and looked towards the entrance of the Film Set.
Fortunately, this time, he saw Doppelganger sitting inside a car. At this moment, Doppelganger had no disguise; his original appearance was that of a slightly greasy middle-aged fat man.
"I'm sorry, I'm late. I ran into a sudden situation on the way, so it took some time. I'm really sorry." Doppelganger seemed very afraid of Homelander. He tried his best to explain the reason for his lateness, fearing Homelander would get angry.
Looking at the timid Doppelganger before her, Stormfront couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. No matter how she looked at him, he didn't seem like the Mysterious Person.
"Come with me."
Homelander's face was cold as he led him to the bottom of an Abandoned building. This place was quite secluded; even if they made a huge commotion, the staff members at the Film Set wouldn't be able to sense it.
"Are you planning something new?" Doppelganger glanced at Stormfront, who had followed them, and couldn't help but reveal an expression that showed he understood. Then, he asked another question: "Or is it like last time, turning into Madelyn Stillwell?"
As soon as Doppelganger finished speaking, the look in Stormfront's eyes towards Homelander changed subtly, and her expression also became a little strange.
"Shut your mouth!" The enraged Homelander grabbed Doppelganger by the neck and pinned him against the wall. "Listen, I'll ask, and you answer. If you dare say one more word of nonsense, I'll crush your cervical spine!"
The sudden attack made the already anxious Doppelganger look like he was about to cry.
"Do you know the Mysterious Person?"
Facing Homelander's interrogation, Doppelganger's head shook like a rattle-drum.
"No, how could I possibly know the Mysterious Person?"
"Forget it, don't make it hard for him. After all, no matter what, he's still your little lover," Stormfront on the side teased.
But Homelander clearly didn't want to let Doppelganger off so easily.
"Look me in the eyes. You know I don't like people who deceive me." In fact, by now, Homelander already believed that Doppelganger wasn't the Mysterious Person, but he was full of anger with nowhere to vent, and this guy in front of him knew many of his unsavory secrets.
"I'm really not lying to you, I really don't know that guy called the Mysterious Person." Due to lack of oxygen, Doppelganger's neck and his entire face were almost completely red. Clearly, if Homelander didn't let go soon, he might die from asphyxiation.
"I figured you wouldn't dare to lie to me."
Homelander's grim expression gradually returned to normal. Just as Doppelganger thought he had escaped, two beams of red laser shot out from Homelander's eyes without warning!
"Ah!!"
The sudden scream stopped abruptly. The Heat Vision directly burned through Doppelganger's eyeball. The fragile eyeball seemed so vulnerable in front of the Heat Vision. White smoke rose from Doppelganger's head. When the white smoke dissipated, what appeared before Homelander and Stormfront was only a skull that was almost carbonized.
Furthermore, the back of the skull, along with the wall behind it, was pierced by Homelander's laser eye.
Homelander calmly withdrew his right hand, looked at the corpse before him, and said indifferently, "It seems he is not the Mysterious Person. Since that's the case, we have eliminated a wrong option."
"It really is Mr. Jervis," Stormfront ignored Doppelganger's corpse and prepared to turn and leave.
"I also think it's Mr. Jervis, the Vice President of Vought International."
"Who's speaking!" In the silent and eerie environment, a third person's voice actually appeared.
Homelander and Stormfront, who had just walked a distance away, turned their heads towards the direction of the voice almost simultaneously, which was where Doppelganger's corpse was located.
They saw the corpse, which had originally slumped against the corner of the wall, now swaying and standing up.
"Are you satisfied with my performance just now? If it's out of ten, what score would you give?"
"Hmph! You dare to play tricks in front of me." Homelander snorted coldly, without a trace of fear on his face.
"Mysterious Person!"
A few flickering bolts of lightning wrapped around Stormfront's arms. Her pupils were slightly blue, and the violent strength within her body seemed ready to erupt.
"Long time no see, Ms. Stormfront." A blood line resembling a zipper appeared on the surface of Doppelganger's body. Soon, the blood line was peeled open from the inside out, revealing the scarlet and still pulsating muscle fiber inside. Following this, Yuuji's head drilled out from within, and along with it, a brand new body.
This bizarre way of appearing caused Stormfront and Homelander present to shrink their pupils involuntarily.
Yuuji calmly put on his clothes, saying as he did so, "Homelander is indeed Homelander, truly ruthless. That attack just now almost caught even me off guard."
"Are you Mr. Jervis or Doppelganger?" Under the faint moonlight, Homelander's eyes lit up with red light again, like two streams of flowing lava, giving off a full sense of oppression.
"Does that matter?"
Yuuji said with a smile.
In the next second, his face skin automatically detached, and the newly formed face was exactly the same as the Doppelganger who had just died.
"If I want to, I can also be Mr. Jervis."
The face skin detached again, but the smile on Mr. Jervis's face remained unchanged.
"What do you say, is there a possibility that I am neither Doppelganger nor Mr. Jervis, but Stan Edgar?"
In an instant, a face extremely familiar to Homelander, one he had seen since childhood, actually appeared on the other person's face.
"Ultimately, I couldn't hide it from you. Stormfront, I wanted to kill you a long time ago, but unfortunately, you were lucky enough to survive last time." Stan Edgar looked at Stormfront calmly, a hint of coldness flowing from the corner of his mouth.
This expression was incredibly familiar to Homelander. At this moment, a monstrous wave surged in his heart.
"St... Stan Edgar."
The red light in his eyes quietly dissipated.
"Homelander! I order you to kill Stormfront now! The fact that I am the Mysterious Person must never be known by a third person!" Stan Edgar ordered sternly.
Hearing Stan Edgar's command, Homelander subconsciously cast his gaze towards Stormfront.
At this moment, Stormfront's expression was extremely ugly. She hadn't expected that Stan Edgar was actually the one hiding the deepest.
"Homelander, are you sure he's Stan Edgar? Don't forget, he just turned into Mr. Jervis."
"I can't tell... but his every move is exactly like Stan Edgar. I don't believe someone could imitate Stan Edgar so perfectly."
