Chapter 762: The b.u.t.terfly The Wizard Left Behind
The Elementary Sound Wave of the short-haired older sister, Stephanie, was a harmless crowd control ability.
The energy explosion of the mushroom-headed sister, Artemis, was their final insurance. If necessary, it could create a blast wave similar to an explosion, which would cause chaos and allow them to escape.
As a result, their lives were basically dependent on Stacy.
That made her the leader of the three.
Luke only had one thought about how the three girls were using their superpowers: What a waste!
It was basically like using a golden spoon to pick up sh*t.
With Stacy and Stephanie’s abilities, it was too easy for them to make money legally.
But recalling what he had learned about their experiences growing up, he couldn’t blame them and say they were stupid.
Geniuses were rare, and most people who wanted to become smarter and adapt to living by the rules of society had to be educated adequately.
This education could come from family or school books.
The three girls had long lost those two items.
Looking at these three pitiful girls, Luke remembered the talent training plan he came up with a long time ago.
Perhaps, he should start with these three girls with superpowers?
Not long after Luke and Selina left, Stacy’s eyes regained focus.
Shaking her dizzy head, she recalled what happened before she pa.s.sed out and was terrified.
But when she turned around, she saw that the twins, Stephanie and Artemis, were still leaning against the couch with lifeless eyes.
Struggling to get up, she went over to check on them, and was relieved.
Although the cloth over Artemis’s chest was torn and exposed a large part of her torso, she could tell that it was caused by Artemis’s ability and not by someone else.
Stephanie and her clothes were basically intact as well. There were no signs that they had been touched.
Suddenly, the screen of a black object on the coffee table lit up, and a gentle female voice rang out. “They are in a semi-conscious state. You can use cold water to rouse them more quickly, Miss Stacy.”
Stunned, Stacy jumped two meters away and looked at the black object warily. “Who are you?”
“My name is b.u.t.terfly. I am a program,” the gentle female voice continued.
Stacy was stunned. “Program?”
“Yes, I am a program, Miss Stacy,” replied b.u.t.terfly.
After thinking for a moment, Stacy went to get some cold water to wake the twins up. She then gestured at them. “Someone left something here that’s supposedly a program.”
Stephanie looked at the black object in confusion. “What’s that?”
“You can consider me as something similar to a computer software program, Miss Stephanie.” The gentle female voice startled the twins.
Stacy raised her hand and gestured for them to see for themselves. “Her name’s b.u.t.terfly. She’s a program. That’s what she said.”
Holding her hands in front of her chest, Artemis asked, “Then who put you here?”
“The great wizard,” replied b.u.t.terfly.
Stacy immediately interjected, “Who’s the wizard?”
b.u.t.terfly: “My maker.”
The three girls looked at each other, and Stephanie asked, “What’s his name?”
“The great wizard,” b.u.t.terfly said again.
Stacy frowned. “If this b.u.t.terfly is a program, it’s useless for us to ask. Her database only has the name ‘wizard.’ She can’t give us the answer we want.”
“That’s absolutely right. Miss Stacy is so smart,” praised b.u.t.terfly.
Stunned, the three women grew suspicious again.
Ignoring the phone, they walked into the bedroom and whispered to each other.
When they returned, they had already packed up their backpacks and looked like they were about to leave.
“Everyone, please don’t forget to bring this phone with you,” b.u.t.terfly suddenly said when they reached the door.
Stacy didn’t say anything and kept moving.
Artemis glared at the phone disdainfully. Who do you think you are?
Stephanie had the best temper. She couldn’t help but say, “Goodbye, b.u.t.terfly.”
“Miss Stephanie, let me remind you that any reckless action can lead to unforeseen danger,” said b.u.t.terfly.
Stephanie turned her head and ignored the words.
The other two didn’t think much of what b.u.t.terfly said either.
Sitting in the car in the front yard, Stacy started the engine… but nothing happened.
She frowned. “Is it broken?”
She tried several times, but the car didn’t budge.
Helpless, Stacy got out and checked the car, but didn’t find anything. However, the car still couldn’t start.
She said helplessly, “Let’s get out. We’ll ‘borrow’ a car from the neighbors.”
The twins had no objections. Carrying their backpacks, the three girls snuck into the front yard of another house dozens of meters away.
Stacy deftly took out her tools and started to fiddle with the garage door.
Suddenly, she jerked.
Curious, Artemis stepped forward and patted her shoulder. She asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong with… ughhh.”
A few seconds later, Stephanie also felt that something was wrong. “What are the two of you doing?” She stretched out her hand as well.
Anxious, Artemis forced herself to focus and activate her ability.
Bang!
There was a light explosion, and she was blown away by the energy from where she had been in contact with Stacy.
Stacy rolled over the ground as well.
Artemis’s voice trembled. “The… the door is charged with electricity!”
Stacy couldn’t reply at all as she twitched even more violently than Artemis.
The noise alerted the residents, and the lights in the bedroom came on.
Stephanie gritted her teeth and used all her strength to drag the two of them behind some shrubs nearby.
The main door of the bungalow opened, and a man with a shotgun stood in the doorway. He looked around for a moment, and only closed it again when he didn’t find anything.
This was the east side, which had fewer inhabitants. The people who dared to live here could shoot at any moment.
Stephanie was sweating all over from anxiety.
Her sound waves were very useful, but the side effect was that they were very loud.
Her sister and Stacy had inexplicably gotten electric shocks, and she didn’t want to attract the police.
She was the weakest of the three, and when the other two fell, she was beside herself with panic.
Thankfully, their situation wasn’t too bad, and they recovered in less than two minutes.
Frightened, the three girls tentatively felt their way out of the shrubs.
Stacy cursed in a low voice. “d.a.m.n it. This guy actually has an electric defense system on the garage door. That’s insane.”
After this minor setback, they could only switch targets and “borrow” another car.
But when they felt their way to the yard, Stacy exclaimed, “Sh*t! What’s this? It’s dog sh*t! Wait, dog sh*t?”
The three girls raised their heads, only to see two pairs of green eyes glaring at them from not far away. There was frantic barking, and two dogs, one big and one small, barked wildly to warn their owners that someone had snuck into their house.
