Chapter 24 Who Is the Ghost
It was already night when Rody arrived at the Osborne Building. It's just that as soon as he entered the door, he saw a face-sized fireball hitting Jericho. What kind of drama was this?
"Don't!" Ororo didn't expect John to attack ordinary people, and it was too late to stop him. The same goes for everyone else, except Roddy.
Since the evolution of mental power, Roddy's reaction ability has been able to dodge bullets, and the mental power to affect matter has also been developed. Roddy mobilized his energy and turned into a small hammer and hit Jericho's knee. Jericho, unable to defend himself, fell to his knees on the ground.
Although it was considered to be an arrow in the knee, he managed to escape the tragedy of being disfigured by the flames, but his hair, which was not much at first, was directly burned into the Mediterranean Sea, and it was still a scorched Mediterranean Sea in the center.
Jericho had just narrowly escaped death, and when he regained consciousness, he began yelling curses and calling security. John raised the lighter and wanted to continue setting the fire. If Ororo and Logan hadn't held him tightly, there would probably be another big battle.
Rody saw that things were going to become a big deal, so he hurriedly said, "What happened? Mr. Norman entrusted me with full authority to deal with the Green Goblin equipment. If anyone of you makes trouble again, don't blame me for asking him to leave the Osborne Building!"
Luo Di's tone was very serious, and he deliberately used a little mental power, which really shocked everyone. Rody used his telepathic ability to listen to everyone's thinking, trying to understand the situation, but heard a strange voice.
"This is Russian?! I bought a watch last year, and I can't understand a word." Rody couldn't help but complain in his heart when he listened to Jericho's heart.
It was the first time he came across such a way of restraining mind reading, and Rody realized that supernatural powers are not always beneficial. Perhaps it only takes a little creativity to make the ability of the supernatural being useless.
Ororo carefully organized his words and explained to Roddy what happened. It's just that Ororo doesn't know that Rody is listening attentively on the surface, but he is actually still struggling with the problem of invalid mind reading.
What made Roddy even more strange was that Jericho was furious on the surface, but in fact he didn't have much anger, as if he was pretending. Rody remained calm, and he had almost maxed out this skill without changing his face.
In fact, what happened was very simple, that is, the Green Goblin equipment was taken away, and Jericho yelled at the X-Men. Words like idiots and garbage are already very implicit, and the IQs of the X-Men have been reduced to the same level as maggots by Jericho.
Although he knew he was wrong, the young and vigorous John the Fireman couldn't bear Jericho's vicious curses, so he threw the fireball impulsively. Fortunately, Rody helped in time, otherwise someone would have died.
However, Rody's power of thought was invisible, and even Jericho himself thought that his legs were weak, and this time he could only do good deeds without leaving his name.
Roddy managed to persuade the furious Jericho. He wanted John to apologize and it was over, but unexpectedly, John didn't appreciate it at all, so he just shook his face and left.
"Bobby, you watch him, don't make trouble again." Ororo ordered.
The owner ran away, and Roddy simply exposed the matter. The most important thing now is the theft of the Green Goblin suit.
Rody looked at the surveillance screen carefully, and then asked the people present about the situation at that time, and he probably had a good idea.
"I have a few questions. First, how did the toad get the password to the vault? Second, John's departure was an accident. Someone must have notified Magneto in time. Who is this person?" Rody scanned the audience. , to have a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.
Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.
Looking at the flawless faces in front of him, if not for Rody's mind-reading skills, it would be really difficult to find the clue of this ghost.
"You mean we have ghosts here? It must be you mutants. I knew you were not a good thing!" Jericho growled. We are about to stage a full martial arts show.
Everyone in the X-Men obviously cannot accept such accusations, but this time the mistake was too big, and the explanations of Logan and Ororo seemed very weak.
"Don't be impatient, everyone, the X-Men can't be the ghosts, they don't know the password of the vault at all. If they are the ghosts, why did Ms. Ororo save you? Just let the toad man kill you Wouldn't it be better to have a deadly confrontation?" Roddy's words were very convincing, so Jericho had no choice but to shut up for the time being.
"The ghost must know the password of the vault. Obviously, the ghost is you." Rody pointed at Jericho.
"Are you kidding me?! I'm an insider? What evidence do you have? If you dare to frame me, I will file a complaint with Mr. Norman, and I will ask a lawyer to sue you..." Jericho retorted loudly as expected.
Roddy didn't rush to explain, and continued to use his mind reading skills to probe his thoughts, but unfortunately, apart from sensing a little panic, the rest was still incomprehensible Russian.
When Jericho was talking dry, Roddy said, "Mr. Jericho, don't be nervous. I don't mean you, but your figure blocks the ghost behind you."
What Rody said made Jericho stunned. It was a waste of words to say so much about feelings just now.
Luo Di ignored him, and directly said to the black-haired Chinese scientist behind him who was stunned: "Mr. Ye Tianlong, you are the ghost."
"What did you say?! I'm an insider? What evidence do you have?" Ye Tianlong asked loudly.
"There are only three people here who know the password, and you are one of them."
"What kind of reason is this?" Ye Tianlong was not convinced by Luo Di's explanation.
Luo Di explained in a calm manner: "The last person thrown out by the Toad Man is you, because the password is changed every two hours, you need to tell him the password so that no one else can know it. And you also need to make sure that the person who was thrown out before is dead." Otherwise, we will agree to this plan."
"No, it's not..."
"No need to explain. If what I just said just made me suspect, now this is evidence." Rody turned on the phone, projected a page, and said, "This is the five million dollars that have just been deposited into your personal account. How do you explain?"
Facing the huge amount of funds from unknown sources, Ye Tianlong shouted loudly: "This is a frame-up! I absolutely did not betray the company!"
"You have the right to hire a lawyer." Luo Di only replied, and asked the security to take Ye Tianlong down.
Roddy gave Jericho a meaningful look, and then said to Logan and the others with a smile on his face: "I'm really sorry that this happened, and I hope it won't affect our cooperation."
"You are too polite. This time it was our mistake. If John hadn't left without permission, things would not have turned out like this. We will definitely recover the Green Goblin equipment, please rest assured." Ororo sincerely told Roddy said apologetically.
Even if there is no ghost, it is a big mistake that John Pyro left without following the rules, so Ororo's apology is completely sincere.
"You're talking about recovering the Green Goblin equipment? There's no need for that, that equipment is fake." Roddy said calmly.
