Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1057: Single Face Thousand Faces System

Iosef, this heir to a crime family, had taken a fancy to John Wick’s ’69 Mustang at a gas station. He wanted to buy it, but John wasn’t selling.

The next day, Iosef broke into John Wick’s place when he wasn’t home. He stole the car and killed the puppy that had been barking.

Iosef didn’t know who he had provoked. This idiot had even planned to beat up John Wick in passing.

John Wick had been fully retired for four years, and had always led a peaceful life since.

Who would have thought that all of a sudden, an idiot would break into his house one day, steal his car, and kill his dog.

Looking at the surveillance footage, John could see who had stolen his car and killed his dog.

This car was one of his few possessions.

That dog was his last gift from his dead wife.

John Wick didn’t hesitate. He wanted to kill this guy.

John decisively refused to negotiate with the head of the Tarasov family, leading to an irreconcilable conflict.

Iosef was the son of the head of the Tarasov family. As a father, the latter couldn’t watch his son die.

A bloody battle had just begun.

This was all information which Luke and Selina had been collecting from various sources over the past few days.

John Wick and Tarasov had caused such a huge ruckus that the reason for it had already spread, and wasn’t difficult to find out.

Many gangs were waiting to watch a good show, and most of them were hoping that the Tarasov family would suffer.

New York was huge but also very small at the same time. It was much more beneficial for someone in the same trade to die rather than a hitman.

Wait a little longer! Whether John Wick died or he turned the Tarasov family upside down, it was the perfect opportunity.

However, it was best if there was a buffer period for Luke’s face-changing program.

Thinking that, Luke said, “I’m almost done with the preparations. I’m just waiting for a suitable opportunity. There’s no hurry. By the way, where’s Reyes?”

Selina said, “Her phone shows that she’s still in the D.A.’s office.”

Luke thought for a moment before he said, “Then, take Gold Nugget with you and go to John Wick’s location. If he dies, get his body out of there. If he’s still alive, just watch.”

Selina nodded. “What about you?”

Luke said, “I’ll see if I can talk to District Attorney Reyes alone; I need to at least figure out what role she played in the battle at the park.”

If the main instigator behind the deaths of Frank’s family was District Attorney Reyes, then she was a dead woman. Frank would never let her go.

Frank had been crazy and ruthless during this revenge operation, but he did have a bottom line. He had killed many times without harming any police officer.

Even at the docks, he had only used smoke grenades, and only opened fire as a deterrent.

If he really wanted to kill someone, all he had to do was replace the smoke grenades with explosives, which would take out at least half of the ESU team.

It could be said that Reyes was still alive thanks to her identity as the district attorney.

As for those gang members who broke the law, they were even lower than ants to Frank, and he killed them all.

Not long after, two people and one dog put on their combat uniforms and slipped out of the house.

Luke wasn’t wearing the V outfit that had been trending recently, and Selina wasn’t wearing her second generation Beast armor.

They were all wearing new, unremarkable-looking combat uniforms. The main functions were to turn invisible and conceal body temperature, sound, and smell; they were most suitable for reconnaissance and hiding.

Gold Nugget had never revealed its dog face to anyone.

It would continue to hide as it continued to wear the upgraded Hellhound camouflage. It was the easiest thing to handle.

Sometimes, dogs were easier to deal with than humans.

At nine in the evening, Luke made a stealthy return.

Selina and Gold Nugget were twenty minutes behind him.

Luke asked, “Did you watch the show?”

As Selina removed her uniform, she asked, “Any news from NYPD?”

Unless it was a special situation, the two of them didn’t keep their communication line open when they operated separately, to avoid being discovered.

Selina had watched the show, and hadn’t broadcasted it live.

Luke didn’t turn his head as he continued to fiddle with the item in his hand. “There was an explosion in a warehouse on the outskirts of Brooklyn. You were there; it definitely wasn’t a small incident.”

Selina put her uniform into the locker and started cleaning. “The handsome fellow in a suit charged into the warehouse and killed more than twenty of Iosef’s bodyguards. Iosef didn’t even get to finish his sentence before he was shot in the head. That man’s too blunt.”

Luke finally turned around and asked with great interest, “What did Iosef want to say at the end?”

Selina grabbed the t-shirt which Gold Nugget had brought over and put it on. “He was probably going to say, ‘It’s just a dog.’ Unfortunately, he couldn’t even finish the word ‘dog’.”

“I see you have a deep impression of John Wick.” Luke chuckled, and turned to her.

He looked at the thing in his hand for a moment, then stuck it on his face. After a few seconds, he turned around. “Look, what’s different?”

Looking at his face, Selina paused for a moment, then scowled. “Turn around. Don’t use that face to look at me when I’m changing.”

“Fine, my bad.” Luke shrugged and turned back around.

After a few seconds, Selina said, “Alright, turn around.”

Luke did as he was told.

Selina stared at his face and stepped forward to examine him. “Well, at first glance, you don’t look any different from John Wick.”

Gold Nugget joined in curiously and immediately began to whine.

Selina said, “It said that your smell hasn’t changed.”

Luke said, “I’ll wear a close-fitting combat suit to block my scent and release another one.”

Selina circled him a few times before she finally nodded. “There’s not much difference. At most, there are some abrasions on his face.”

“I’ll improve on the loopholes bit by bit. For the time being, as long as I don’t get hit in the face, I won’t be exposed.” Luke stroked his beard, satisfied that he finally had a beard to rub.

Selina pursed her lips. “Alright. You can have Little Snail... No, the AI program here is Sponge. Let it do the analysis for you to ensure that it looks exactly the same. Hurry up and change your face back. Seeing you with a beard is just wrong.”

It’s not like I wanted a pretty boy face. Feeling helpless, Luke touched his neck and ordered, “Deactivate the Thousand Faces System.”

John Wick’s face rippled a few times before it turned into a translucent mask which Luke took off.

Selina found it strange. “Can’t you turn it directly into your own face, so you don’t have to take it off?”

Luke said helplessly, “Right now it can only be considered a single face; it can only turn into one face.”

Selina was stunned. “Then why did you call it Thousand Faces?”

Luke said, “Everyone should have dreams; who knows, they might come true some day.”
