Chapter 1532: Demonstrating Real Capability, and Creating a Persona First

‘When he wrote novels in his past life, he had encountered crazy online users with bizarre trains of thought who reveled in their ways.

Even the author couldn’t follow their thinking when it was too bizarre, and they would mock him for his low IQall the time.

Luke suddenly thought: Wait! Who said that a psycho alias can’t be a bad person?

Hydra might be hidden very deeply in SHIELD, but that wasn’t necessarily the case with ordinary bad guys.

As long as he found some guys whom everybody thought were good but were secretly bad, and then killed them in public, this psycho alias would undoubtedly be seen as a supervillain!

There were plenty of these sorts of hypocrites on his blacklist, who specialized in selling a do-gooder image of themselves.

As long as he put ina little more effort, Hydra might still be suspicious, but… was there a rule that supervillains like them couldn’t be “tricked” by others?

Thinking that, Luke couldn’t help but rub his chin and chuckle.

He had many such “do-gooders” on file.

Before, he didn’t have his clones or a super disguise, nor had he wanted to be tracked down with advanced technology or some superpower, since the trail could very easily lead back to him.

He had put the matter aside and never revisited it.

Now, he had a super disguise, and his Level 1 clone was very strong. It wouldn’t be that easy for his clone to die — it would only be half-dead at most.

With the help of various abilities, he would be able to recover in a day or two even if he was half-dead. What was there to hesitate over?

If he used his clone to make waves, he would just lose 100,000 credit points if he had to make it disappear.

The do-gooders on his blacklist could be used as disposable props, and then buried along with Hydra.

Making up his mind, Luke began to look for a suitable identity for his clone in his database, and quickly settled on one.

His name was Jack Bode.

‘When Luke had gone to San Francisco previously to invest in Pym Technologies, he had inadvertently run into this guy killing someone.

After interrogating the guy, Luke got rid of him on the same day.

However, he could be considered a distinctive figure, so Luke had preserved his hair, fingerprints and blood.

Who knew, he might be able to use this guy as a scapegoat one day. Luke had a lot of similar things, and the materials didn’t take up much space in his inventory anyway.

As for Jack himself, he disappeared completely from this world.1

Although this person lived hard and died soundlessly, he was still a very distinctive existence.

A super serial killer who started at 15 and who killed 37 people in his lifetime before dying at Luke’s hands at the age of 35 without ever being found by the police was indeed a unique identity.

‘What was unique was that every time this guy killed someone, there would be a witness.

The “lucky” witness was usually a family or friend of the victim whom Jack would trap and force to watch his crime.

Without a doubt, Jack was a coldblooded monster who lacked the ability to bond with others. He could only derive pleasure from torturing and killing his own kind.

To minimize the impact, the FBI had tried their best to block all case details related to him, so this guy wasn’t very well-known.

Jack had been very lucky before he met Luke, but Luke hadn’t had the time to play hide-and-seek with a murderer.

There were too many serial killers like Jack. They might have killed as few as three to five people, or as many as ten to 20 people.

Jack’s performance was outstanding, but like Jason, who had killed hundreds of people, he had killed far less people than drug gangs did.

‘When Luke had been waiting for Dr. Pym to appear, he had cleaned up some criminals in San Francisco.

As he wandered around the city at night, he accidentally heard the faint cries for help from the two victims who were gagged, and immediately rushed over.

Looking at the situation in the room, coupled with Jack’s unique “makeup,” he instantly knew who this guy was.

He instantly knocked out Jack and the two victims with two paralysis bullets.

Jack had only just started torturing the victim, who only suffered flesh wounds, while the victim’s wife, who had been tied up, wasn’t even hurt.

Luke called the police and told them to hurry over, before he quickly left.

After interrogating Jack and figuring out more about this homicidal maniac, Luke sent him on his way.

If this was some kind of crime drama, Jack would definitely be the lead villain and would duke it out with the protagonist for an hour or two.

But Luke wasnt interested in researching this super killer’s hobby at all, nor did he give him a chance to demonstrate his abilities.

It was only two hours after Luke found him that he sent him on his way.

A cipher? Suspense? A thriller? None of that existed.

Dead psychos were the best experience and credit points.

In the end, Jack was a psycho, and psychology and hypnosis weren’t very useful on him.

Using Mental Communication on him was like an ordinary person touching a bloody corpse with his bare hand.

The deeper the contact, the more disgusting it felt. It was completely mental pollution.

Now, it was finally time for Mr. Jack to take advantage of the situation and show his true capability.

In creating a new alias, especially for the long term like with this one, it had to be a thoroughly well-developed character.

Ever since his Batman identity ascended to godhood, Luke had been having less fun recently.

So, the revamped Jack had to be a fully realized persona who could stand up to scrutiny.

Name? Of course, he had to change it.

Jack Bode sounded unlucky.

So, he had to lengthen the name, and find something that wouldn’t become well-known so easily; that was also in line with Jack’s hobby of disguising himself.

The makeup also had to be modified; there was no meaning in just wearing a clown mask.

That didn’t match Jack’s crazy suicidal personality!

So, he had to change his face.

Since he would be showing his face, there was no need to be low-key in how he dressed.

A T-shirt and jeans splattered with blood – that was the Texan chainsaw murderer.

A big coat and a hockey mask – that was Jason.

Jack had to be different from those low-level players who did things roughly, so… his own DIY formal suit was very suitable.

The design didn’t have to be too old-fashioned, and the color could be more subdued, but it had to be mysterious.

Lastly was the new identity’s choice of target.

Jack had no family or friends right now.

His parents were the classic rotten pair: They were high on drugs and alcohol every day.

‘When the man had nothing to do, he would beat up the young Jack or the woman, or the man and woman would beat Jack up together, for no reason at all.

It was these parents who twisted Jack into a monster with no humanity and who could only derive pleasure from torture and killing.

Also, the two of them had gone their own ways more than 20 years ago; maybe they were already lying dead in a ditch somewhere.

Jack’s biggest wish had been to find these two and deal with the man in front of the woman, before he watched the woman die.

Each one of his kills was a simulation of this dream.

The man was the woman’s husband, and Jack was the woman’s son. One suffered while the other watched.

This was the reason for Mr. Jack’s M.O..

Luke had scratched his head over this at the beginning, and had now partly resolved the issue.

However, would the system allow him to tie up innocent people and make them watch a real-life horror movie? So, he still had to pick SHIELD members with more resistance.

Just like that, the Level 2 clone kept muttering to himself and didn’t stop working…
