Chapter 327 PY Transactions
Charles's method of imparting knowledge was simple: since both parties could communicate telepathically, he simply packaged all the knowledge together and let Rune read his mind; he didn't even need to speak.
But this was tough on Rune. He had encountered this kind of information attack before when he entered Scarlet Witch's dream, and he didn't expect to encounter the same problem again this time.
After a long while, Rune finally snapped out of his daze and muttered helplessly, "Couldn't you have just told me beforehand?"
"I thought you knew—" Charles squinted, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. He didn't look like the respected mutant leader he was supposed to be; he seemed more like a playful old man. Seeing Rune's helpless expression, he added, "You're a psychic. Remember, your abilities far exceed your imagination. Don't let complicated information distract you."
But you didn't give me a chance to learn; you just made me read your mind!
Rune thought to himself, but considering that the mutant was an old man, he didn't say anything harsh. After consulting with the respected old man for a while, Rune left. He had achieved his main goal and also gained a lot of experience in developing superpowers from a powerful telepathic user. He could say he had made a huge profit. However, he once again felt the terrifying power of information pollution.
When certain gods in the Cthulhu Mythos converse with humans, the sheer volume of knowledge contained in their language can drive those with weak brains insane. Similarly, the BlackWall Pulse released by V in Cyberpunk 2077 likely works by transmitting the extremely vast and complex information flow of the BlackWall to the enemy's brain-computer interface or device, causing the opponent's prosthetic body to overload.
In theory, this kind of information pollution could also be used as a means of attack.
Rune thought it was feasible, and this move would be somewhat effective against the technological villains he was about to face, especially the potential clones they might possess. He had seen people defend their bodies and souls, but he had never seen anyone defend against information. Even if this guy's computing power was so great that he could process all this information instantly, Rune didn't believe he would dare to give his subordinates such powerful computing power.
The T-800s under Skynet were given sufficiently strong computing power, which resulted in a rebellion among the T-800 robots.
As for how to acquire junk information, it's even simpler. With Rune's current insight, the amount of information he receives every day is ridiculously large. Even with the powerful mental strength that comes with being a mage, a lot of junk information still needs to be cleared away in a short time after contact. And Rune, who has the ability of telepathy, can theoretically collect this junk information that was originally going to be cleared away and turn it into information weapons to launch.
However, this obviously requires Rune to spend some time studying it, so unfortunately, the mastermind behind the Boys world will not be able to try this move.
Back in the world of The Boys, Rune didn't revert to Joseph's appearance. Instead, he went to Times Square. In the EMP caused by the nuclear explosion, few televisions survived, so the best way to watch the news was to buy a newspaper or go directly to Times Square. "A portion of the elite superhero team, The Boys, under Homelander, suffered a annihilation attack at their training base. Six members were killed, and the only missing member, Joseph, has been identified as the prime suspect. This superhuman is obese; his fat can withstand gunfire. Please be cautious, citizens—"
Homelander issued a statement: This is a blasphemy against freedom and democracy; the perpetrators will pay the price!
"—The Homelander has dispatched the Invisible Man and the Locomotive to assist in the investigation—"
Just as Rune had predicted, the deaths of those six superpowered individuals had a huge impact. This was the first time in three years that a case involving superpowered individuals had resulted in more than five deaths in New Hope City, and Homelander would definitely be furious about it and send out more superpowered individuals. Rune could then take advantage of this opportunity to kill them one by one.
Actually, Homelander's approach wasn't entirely wrong. To ensure the killer was brought to justice, he even sent out the Invisible Man and A-Train, two former members of the Seven. Generally speaking, there aren't many people in the world who can directly confront these two, let alone defeat them.
But Runes are different.
Even before Judgment Day, the relationship between the Invisible Man and the Train was not harmonious. On the surface, they were both members of the Seven and cooperated with each other, but in reality, the two had no trust at all.
As the star member of the Seven and the only Black man, A-Train is extremely popular and holds the title of the world's fastest man. However, the Invisible Man is more of a tool, so A-Train doesn't care much about the Invisible Man. Therefore, in the original work, when the Invisible Man was killed by the Boys, A-Train didn't even show any sadness.
After the trial, their relationship did not improve at all. However, when they went out to solve cases, the two "superheroes" acted like brothers and were actually cooperating.
Under the media spotlight, the Invisible Man and the Train went to the police station to check out the locations where the suspect might appear.
Butcher watched coldly from the sidelines, knowing that unless that damned Joseph was an overconfident fool who wanted to fight the A-Train and the Invisible Man, they would never find Joseph in their lifetime.
These two disgusting superhumans made him want to vomit, especially the thought that these two guys used to be Homelander's teammates. Butcher wanted to pick up a gun and empty the magazines of A-Train and the Invisible Man.
Therefore, Butcher chose to leave the police station directly.
He also wants to kill Homelander, and getting into a conflict with A-Train and the Invisible Man here will only get him killed.
Just as he reached the crossroads, preparing to search for more clues at the scene of the murder, a fat figure caught his eye. The figure looked very familiar, and just looking at it, Butcher wanted to pray for his poor knees.
But his face wasn't Joseph's. He stood there like an ordinary, insignificant person, but Butcher felt something was off about him, so he walked over.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
The other person didn't even bother to look at Butcher. The arrogance in that expression made the policeman narrow his eyes. What was that familiar expression?
Just like how those with superpowers act when facing ordinary people—
So Butcher, wary, shouted, "Oh, you fat pig, your ears and brain are stuffed with grease, aren't they? I'm talking to you!"
This finally made the other person turn around. There was not a trace of offense in the fat man's eyes, but when Butcher was stared at by him—Butcher swore that he had seen countless superhumans, and even Homelander, but he had never experienced anything like this before, it was as if his instincts were screaming for Butcher to get away from this guy as soon as possible.
"Butcher?"
