Wolf Claw?

From some distance away, Li Wei saw a taxi with its door wide open. The head of Old Black sitting in the driver's seat had been twisted one hundred and eighty degrees backward, with pale bone fragments protruding.

In the back seat, a filthy barefoot girl was straddling another Old Black. Her hands clawed frantically, sending sprays of blood flying. It was Mute Wolf Girl—Kimiko—whom Li Wei had been waiting for.

At first, Old Black had struggled and screamed, but within only a few breaths, he had gone completely still. Blood continued to seep out, making it clear that he was thoroughly dead.

Some of the surrounding pedestrians screamed in fear, but even more wore excited expressions as they took pictures and videos. Some had even started livestreaming outright.

Li Wei could not help frowning. It was not that he regretted the deaths of those two Old Blacks; it was simply that, according to his understanding of the original plot, Kimiko was not someone who indiscriminately killed innocent people.

If the plot had deviated, he would need to reconsider his attitude toward her and how to handle her.

But Kimiko's next actions quickly made Li Wei realize that there was a reason for it.

After killing the two Old Blacks, Kimiko opened the trunk and released two children whose hands, feet, and mouths had been bound. They looked as if they had been drugged unconscious.

The crowd that had been watching the spectacle immediately cried out in alarm. Two overweight American women stopped watching and rushed toward the children, crying and shouting all the way.

When Kimiko saw that scene, she not only took the initiative to step back, but a trace of warmth also appeared on her face.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Wei casually spun his long staff a few times. A little energy gleamed across it, making the staff look like an oversized glow stick as he made his entrance in a very typical Superhero fashion.

The onlookers immediately burst into cheers and excitement, voluntarily backing away to clear a path for him.

Quite a few people were eager to watch a show. That woman had not looked ordinary just now, so how would this newly arrived Superhero deal with her?

Kimiko instantly assumed an attacking stance, glaring at Li Wei like a vicious wolf.

She had only been imprisoned for about a year, and she was an adult. She was not completely ignorant of the outside world, so of course she understood what his posture meant.

But Li Wei acted as if he had not noticed. He dashed in front of Kimiko like the wind and laughingly tossed several shopping bags toward her. "Very good, Wolf Claw. You did well. Your undercover work all this time was not in vain!"

"Next, we'll follow the trail and root out more human traffickers. It will be America's gift when you officially debut as a Superhero!"

"Now change into some clothes, take a shower, and enjoy the feast we prepared for you!"

The moment those words left his mouth, Kimiko was stunned. Wolf Claw? Was he referring to her?

And undercover work, human traffickers, and all that—she could understand every word individually, but why could she not understand them when they were put together?

Why did it sound as if, in this Superhero's eyes, she had become a member of the Superheroes as well?

The surrounding crowd was also stunned for a moment, followed by even louder cheers. Exactly—how could an ordinary person perform so many difficult moves?

The way she had snapped Old Black's neck just now had been swift and clean. Then she had torn the other Old Black apart with her bare hands, leaving the inside and outside of the taxi drenched in blood. Even now, every step of her bare feet left bloody footprints on the ground.

If she was also a Superhero, then everything made much more sense!

More than one thrill-seeker immediately rushed toward Kimiko, startling her so badly that she nearly jumped on the spot.

But she quickly saw at least twenty or thirty phones and cameras raised high, continuously taking pictures of her, followed by a string of questions.

"Wolf Claw, can you give me an autograph?"

"Wolf Claw, what is your superpower?"

"Wolf Claw, do you endorse any products?"

"Wolf Claw, after your official debut, which state and county will you be responsible for?"

Kimiko was even more dumbfounded. This—this was not right, was it? She had just brutally killed two human traffickers in broad daylight!

And she had not even intended to save those two children. She had only acted because those two Old Blacks had drugged and sold her in the first place!

Why was no one afraid at all?

Li Wei merely chuckled, knowing the matter was temporarily settled. To the public, the danger posed by an ordinary person killing someone and a Superhero killing someone were completely different.

Perhaps they would later discover that Wolf Claw had not officially debuted as they expected, but within a few days, their novelty would wear off and they would move on to the next Superhero.

The only—and biggest—problem now was that Vought could not be allowed to realize someone was using their name to deceive the public!

So he swung his metal staff, surrounding it with a dazzling ring of light that severely affected the clarity of every electronic device recording nearby.

"Please calm down. I understand everyone's excitement, but Wolf Claw and I are both Superheroes who have not officially debuted yet. Please understand that we need a more official channel to reveal ourselves to the public!"

As he spoke, Li Wei casually took Kimiko's hand.

Kimiko was immediately startled. She desperately tried to struggle free, only to discover in shock that her movements were like an ant trying to shake a tree—completely ineffective!

Li Wei chuckled as he dismissed the surrounding onlookers. At the same time, he turned his head and spoke in a whisper only the two of them could hear.

"I mean you no harm. If you don't want to be caught and locked up again, follow my instructions, or you'll draw the enemy's attention!"

As he spoke, Li Wei used his staff to hook up the shopping bags on the ground, signaling Kimiko to take them.

What else could Kimiko do in this situation?

She was not crazy or stupid. She could tell that everything he was doing was helping her. Since she could not break free, she could only close her eyes and accept it.

And honestly, these clothes not only fit her figure perfectly, they were also very beautiful. She had never worn such nice clothes before.

Watching Kimiko obediently pick up the clothes, Li Wei nodded in satisfaction. Of course, he had felt her struggle, but it had probably amounted to only a little over a ton of force.

That level of strength was terrifying to ordinary people. How much force did boxing champion Tyson's punch have?

Combined with her striking technique, fist size, and other factors, getting punched by her was basically like being hit by a car traveling dozens of kilometers per hour. An ordinary person could not withstand more than a few hits.

But to the current Li Wei, it was really nothing.

Kimiko's greatest trait was her Super Healing. Even if her brain was blown apart, her neck was snapped, or her legs were sawn off, she could repair her injuries at a speed visible to the naked eye.

By comparison, she was somewhat unremarkable in other aspects. She was basically at the level of a third-rate Superhero, about evenly matched with The Mesmerizer. Perhaps her defense was a little stronger?

According to the original plot, after A-Train found her, he held her by the head and slammed her into a wall for quite a while. Aside from seeming a little dizzy, she had barely suffered any visible injuries.

Of course, it was also possible that her brain had been shaken into mush and then saved again by her healing ability.

Later, when Soldier Boy hit her with an energy blast and temporarily erased her superpowers, she completely became a frail chicken with only healing left. Almost anyone could injure her and make her bleed.

That made her a bully against weak opponents in the plot. Against ordinary people, she was a slaughterhouse, but once she encountered other Superheroes, she was basically beaten until her face and head were covered in blood, perfectly showcasing her healing ability.

But in the system's judgment, even at her current peak, her defense was nothing special. At the very least, it was far inferior to Starlight's, and it was not even displayed in the system at all.

It was also somewhat unfortunate that her combat skills were probably on the same level as The Mesmerizer's, so the system did not display them either.

This also made Li Wei realize one of the system's shortcomings. Even if The Mesmerizer and Kimiko possessed combat skills of the same level, their preferences and specialties were certainly different. How could they be lumped together?

If he could acquire both and then practice them, discarding the dross and retaining the essence, his skills would surely rise to another level. Unfortunately, the system could not do that for now.

Perhaps, in its view, superpowers were far more powerful than mere techniques, so it focused on superpowers instead?

Codename: Kimiko

Type: Physique Type

Special Ability 1: Super Healing. Regardless of the type of injury suffered, regardless of which body part suffers severe damage, and regardless of whether the user has died, as long as the body's overall integrity exceeds 30%, Super Healing can be activated. The exact healing speed depends on overall physical condition, energy reserves, and other factors.

Lost body parts will no longer retain vitality, healing ability, or other special properties.

Death caused by the natural end of lifespan cannot be reversed.

If energy cannot be supplied for healing, repeated healing may come at the cost of permanently reducing strength, physique, agility, defense, lifespan, and other attributes.

If energy is sufficient, healing speed may be increased further.

Can be fully copied. Estimated continuous contact required: 160 minutes.

After reading the system's description, Li Wei found it quite reasonable. It could also roughly explain why Kimiko became increasingly frail later in the plot.

She did not have any energy in her body, so was she not relying on overdrawing her own body to heal herself?

Then Soldier Boy blasted her once, making her even frailer.

Even so, the ability to undergo Super Healing whether dead or alive was still so powerful that it could practically be called heaven-defying.

And for Li Wei, if he could obtain Super Healing, then combine it with the Super Defense he had gained from Starlight and his own energy, unless he was reduced to ash in a single exchange, he should be able to contend with Homelander for a while, right?

But Homelander possessed a long-range attack like Heat Vision and could fly at supersonic speed, with mobility nearly maxed out. Those were things the current Li Wei could not do at all. He should lie low for a while longer!
