Chapter 878: Kill the Homelanders Within 12 Hours
The rescue team was fascinated by the weirdness of this world. They were busy with experiments and almost forgot the object of rescue, Billy Butcher.
However, they didn't waste much time. The main reason was that this mission world was too weird. The time flow rate was different, and it was constantly circulating in the same day!
Moreover, as outsiders, they could not exert any influence on this world at all. In the end, the four of them had no idea whether they could successfully complete the rescue mission.
The information obtained by Jarvis was wrong, so they could only rely on themselves to find people. The advantage was that they didn't have to worry about hiding their identities.
Tony Stark gave them several nano-aircrafts, and the three of them traveled directly in the air.
Coincidentally, they even had a "collision" with Homelander on the way.
Starlight and Queen Maeve couldn't help chasing after them and wanted to wave their fists. Of course, they couldn't touch each other, so they could only vent their long-standing resentment.
When it was getting dark, they finally saw Billy Butcher not far from the home of Adeline, the vice president of Water Company.
At this time, an interesting situation happened. Billy Butcher actually saw them!
"Starlight, Maeve... You shouldn't be here!"
Billy Butcher was tied with bombs all over his body, holding the detonator in his hand, and looked at Starlight, Maeve, Tony and Dr. Banner with confusion.
Starlight raised his hand, "Don't be nervous, Butcher, we are not hostile!"
After a series of experiments, they have determined that they can neither interfere with the reality of this world nor be affected by this world.
If Billy Butcher accidentally detonated the bomb, they would definitely not lose a hair, but the problem is that Billy Butcher would die!
Starlight took a deep breath, looked around, and under the encouraging eyes of Queen Maeve, Tony, Dr. Banner and others, he raised his hands and slowly walked towards Billy Butcher.
A gentle smile appeared on his face: "Boucher, do you remember me? We were in..."
"No need to talk nonsense! The quiz game we participated in together was not long ago. Well, let me think about it. It should have been five days for me. Are you trapped here too?"
Starlight breathed a sigh of relief. Since the person in front of her was the player, she was also the target they wanted to rescue.
She asked curiously: "You have been here for five days?"
Billy Butcher shrugged: "It will be the sixth day soon. Stand away and don't let me splash you with blood!"
After saying that, he suddenly accelerated and ran towards the gate of the villa. At the same time, the Homelander just fell from the sky. Almost at the moment he landed, Billy Butcher pressed the detonation button.
Boom!
Accompanied by a violent explosion, blood and flesh were scattered.
The flames shot up to the sky, and Tony Stark waved his hand: "Wow, is he giving us a special gift?"
Starlight and the others were also stunned, and then they were surprised to see the scene in front of them constantly changing, with colorful lights flashing non-stop. When everything returned to normal, the four of them returned to the lawn by the river again.
It was the location where they first opened the door to this world.
"Time has reset again!" Dr. Banner scratched his head: "It seems that the weirdness of this world is directly related to Billy Butcher. As long as he dies, time will reset."...Tony Stark raised his eyebrows: "I remember watching a movie with a similar theme, it seems to be a horror thriller?"
Starlight speculated: "Butcher just asked us if we were trapped here too... He should feel that he has become a prisoner in the time cage."
Queen Maeve nodded in agreement: "This weird world is indeed like a large prison!"
The four of them briefly discussed and decided to go to the old place to wait for Billy Butcher to appear.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. As soon as they arrived in the city, Billy Butcher drove over and said, "Get in the car. I'm in a hurry."
"Sorry, we can't get in your car, although we really want to."
Starlight shrugged her shoulders and made a gesture to pull the car door, but her hand passed through the door very smoothly.
Billy Butcher couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Are you all dead?"
Queen Maeve rolled her eyes: "Of course not, there was just a little problem..."
After listening to their stories, Billy Butcher also had a headache, "You can't get in the car, but I have to escape. The people of Vought Company are all over the city to arrest me."
"It's okay, you just drive, we follow you." Tony Stark smiled.
The four used the aircraft to keep parallel to Billy Butcher's car, and there was no need to worry about hitting other vehicles, pedestrians or buildings. In short, this experience was still very novel.
After following for a while, Tony Stark asked directly: "Billy, what is your mission?"
Dr. Banner added: "We are here to save you, Starlight can testify!"
Billy Butcher looked at them: "You should be from the Light Front mentioned by Thor? My mission is very simple - kill Homelander, within 12 hours. Otherwise, the time will be reset, you have just experienced it, right?"..
Starlight widened his eyes when he heard it: "12 hours? Kill Homelander?"
Mev simply shook her head: "This is impossible!"
"Not necessarily." Tony Stark raised his eyebrows: "If we help, we should be able to do it, but the problem is... we can't interfere with anything.
You said you have been trapped here for 5 days, no, 6 days, which means you have tried 6 assassination attempts and all failed? "
Billy Butcher shrugged: "To be precise, it should be 3 times.
The first time I didn't believe in time reset, but 12 hours later, I had to believe it.
The second time, I didn't go to find Homelander, but to find my... wife.
The third time, I started planning the action, but my luck was not good. I was found by Homelander on the way and he killed me directly. The next three times all ended in failure. "
"He killed you?" Xingguang was surprised: "If I remember correctly, didn't Homelander kill you in the future?"
"This is indeed the time point shown in the future, that is, the day in the future when I was tied with a bomb and confronted Homelander at Madeline's house.
But this place does not completely belong to a certain node in the future, or a parallel time and space, it is more like a large illusion created completely for me?
In short, it is even harder to talk to the Homelander here, or rather, as soon as he finds me, he will immediately attack me, and no words can stop him. "
From Billy Butcher's narration, it is not difficult to see that he really took great pains to complete this task.
