Strange Knowledge Has Increased Again

Martin Lee could understand Kraft's actions in renovating the house, but the incident had happened too suddenly, and he hadn't been mentally prepared, which was why he lost his composure.

So, after Martin Lee came to his senses, he quickly cupped his right hand into a fist and brought it to his mouth, clearing his throat twice before decisively and stiffly changing the subject: "How long will it take for you to collect all the information?"

Kraft glanced at Martin Lee with disdain. "Very quickly."

"Search complete, search complete."

Before Kraft could finish speaking, Haro's electronic voice rang out. The screens in the room stabilized one by one, displaying all the content related to the news.

Haro placed the main content on a screen it projected onto the wall. After the search was complete, Haro voluntarily dimmed the lights in the room so Kraft could see more clearly.

After quickly scanning the relevant intelligence on the wall, Kraft had a general understanding of what that green monster was.

Simply put, a military vehicle picked up someone from the Brooklyn airport and was driving into the city when the green monster suddenly jumped out of the car.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, the military hadn't had time to block the news, so Haro easily found surveillance footage from near the accident site and further traced it back to New Mexico, the origin of the event. However, when searching further, they discovered that the monster had come from a desert in New Mexico. Haro couldn't find out what was going on in the desert for the time being, unless it hacked into the military's database.

"Which unit does this vehicle belong to?"

Hearing Kraft's question, Haro quickly pulled up a report and projected it onto the wall. The report showed the unit to which the car belonged and indicated that the person in charge of this unit was General Thaddeus E. Ross.

"Bring up all the scientists General Ross has interacted with in the past two years who have recently been in New Mexico," Kraft thought for a moment and continued to instruct.

Haro quickly complied.

Then, Kraft filtered out those who were clearly for show, those who had been abandoned or had already yielded results, and those scientists unlikely to create a green monster. Finally, the target was narrowed down to a physicist named Bruce Banner.

Bruce Banner was a renowned figure in academia, his genius on par with the playboy Tony Stark. He had been researching Gamma Rays for the past few years. Gamma Rays were a type of radiation that easily caused mutations and were well-known throughout the scientific community.

Honestly, Kraft greatly admired Bruce Banner for daring to use Gamma Rays as his research direction.

He admired his fearlessness of death.

Additionally, the Captain America comics mentioned Gamma Rays, stating that Captain America's success was due not only to the Super Soldier Serum but also to the catalysis of Gamma Rays.

Later, out of curiosity, Kraft collected some intelligence and found that, apart from a few beautified parts, most of the content in the comics wasn't false. Of course, Kraft didn't find the specific details of Captain America's experiment, but given the accuracy of the comics and the appearance of the green monster before him, it was quite possible that it was true.

Kraft wondered what those official people were thinking... Initially, he thought that adding Gamma Rays was a wrong research direction and that America had deliberately set a trap in the comics to trick other countries, but now it seemed...

So many layers.

A fresh yet fitting term popped into Kraft's mind.

"So, this is a product of the Super Soldier Program? Americans really like conducting human experiments..."

The thought of human experimentation made Kraft even more disgusted with Bruce Banner on the screen.

"Heh, after all, the military has always wanted to replicate Captain America," Martin Lee said with a contemptuous smile. "Actually, I suspected from the beginning that the people behind the Maggia might be the military, but I could never find any clues. Instead, some of the scraps I found pointed away from the military."

"It could also be a smokescreen," Kraft speculated, but then he shook his head and dismissed his own idea.

"No, there's no need. If it were the military, there would be no need to be so secretive. At most, it would just be a few 'lesser races'."

"That's right, I thought so too," Martin Lee nodded in agreement, then reached out and patted Kraft's head.

"This can't be rushed. Your little robot is indeed amazing, but remember not to get caught."

"Don't worry about that! I'm not bragging, Haro's hacking ability might be a bit lacking, but its escape skills are definitely top-notch in the world!" Kraft patted his chest and boasted proudly before belatedly looking at Martin Lee beside him.

"Huh?"

"I didn't know you were such a little brat!" Martin Lee glared at him irritably. "When you agreed so readily last time, I knew you wouldn't give up..."

"I just didn't expect you to achieve this much," Martin Lee said, looking at the red Haro flapping its wings on the TV, genuinely sighing.

"Hehehe~" Kraft sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.

"I don't understand the technical aspects, but the most important thing is to be careful and not expose yourself," Martin Lee reminded him, knowing he couldn't control Kraft.

Kraft nodded seriously, indicating that he had heard him.

As for Martin Lee's hidden identity and how many other magical items Kraft possessed, the father and son tacitly understood and didn't pry.

"Why don't we try to find a way back?" After watching the information about the green monster, the family sat at the dinner table eating, and Kraft proposed again.

"America keeps conducting human experiments at the drop of a hat. What if they mess up again someday? Not to mention anything else, but this monster today, if it appeared near us, my inventions wouldn't be able to stop it."

Although Kraft was talking about the green monster, what he was actually thinking about was the terrifying zombie virus from his dream.

"Don't worry, this world isn't as simple as you think. There are quite a few people with special abilities in New York." Kraft was aware of the special people Martin Lee mentioned. He had seen them when he was gathering intelligence on the Maggia, like Rhino, Daredevil, and Power Man. However, he didn't think those people could contend with that green fatty in the video.

Seeing Kraft's disdainful expression, Martin Lee sighed helplessly, "And you think there are no special humans across the ocean? Why do you think I don't want to go back?"

From what he said, Martin also has special abilities?

Kraft glanced at Martin Lee in surprise. Although he had suspected that his adoptive father was the so-called Mr. Negative, he hadn't investigated further. Mutual respect for each other's privacy was an unspoken understanding between father and son.

"Alright..."

Come to think of it, if a zombie virus really broke out like in his dream, it wouldn't make a difference where he went, so he stopped insisting.

It's just that he needed to strengthen his studies regarding the technology from his dream.

Because of the appearance of the green monster, Kraft uncharacteristically felt a sense of urgency. He had to start studying biology, something he had been resisting before. At the very least, if a bio-crisis were to happen someday, he wanted to have the ability to find a solution.

In addition to spending more time in the lab, Kraft also had Haro continue to monitor intelligence on the green monster. Although after that day, the military and a mysterious organization quickly worked to suppress the news, who could blame that big guy for causing so much trouble?

In just a few short days, under the pursuit and encirclement of the military, he rampaged across America, eventually breaking through the entire country and escaping into Mexico, finally disappearing.

It was precisely because of the activities of this green giant that Kraft gathered a lot of useful information.

The green monster called himself the Hulk. From his performance on the surveillance footage, besides being extremely violent, he wasn't very intelligent. What shocked Kraft even more was that the Hulk's true form was actually Bruce Banner.

"He's a tough one! To experiment on himself... it just feels a bit unscientific..."

Kraft muttered to himself as he looked at the intelligence collected by Haro.

"I think the technology you used to make us talk is also quite unscientific, Big Brother. And Big Sister, she's actually a robot!"

Quinn leaned his head towards the screen, sticking out his tongue as he complained. Because Alice usually acted like a normal, cute girl, Quinn and Bear had no idea she was a robot. They only thought Alice's scent and voice were a bit strange.

It wasn't until one day when the two of them were fighting too fiercely that Alice was forced to activate the capture net launcher Kraft had installed on her shoulder, ensnaring the cat and dog. Only then did they understand Alice's true identity.

Quinn was so startled at the time that he even forgot to say his usual catchphrase, "Shocked."

"Agreed, meow."

Bear, who was lying on Kraft's lap, lazily lifted a paw.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Kraft rolled his eyes, picked Bear up, and placed her on the table. He then pointed at Bruce Banner transforming in the video with his finger. "Look at him transform from such a scrawny build into a man over two meters tall, and sometimes he even gets bigger. Even so, his shorts are still so well-fitting, while all his other clothes are torn to shreds."

"Shocked!" Quinn's mouth hung open, his long tongue dangling out, looking foolish. "So those pants must be really tough to bite!"

Bear, on the other hand, wagged her long tail, then turned her head and looked at Kraft with a strange expression.

"Why is your focus always so weird?"

Kraft: ...

Since when did these two little guys start liking to complain about him?

Speaking of which, Mr. Sakamoto in his dream seemed to be a tsukkomi character...

Wait, how do I even know the word "tsukkomi"?

Kraft touched his forehead. The strange knowledge that inexplicably appeared in his mind had increased again.
