"For Vought Corporation to believe Homelander is no longer a risk and for everything to return to normal, Subject 071 should not exist in this World."
Fang Yuan had figured it out.
He planned to fake his death.
Since it was just a pretense, once Homelander debuted, he could simply find an excuse to reappear later.
However, Fang Yuan didn't intend to simply stage a fake death to escape.
He lowered his head, a slight curve on his lips: "If we're going to play, let's make it a big one for Xiao A Zu."
Fang Yuan first returned to his room, placed the large metal box into the research Base's warehouse, and then went directly to John's room.
Current remaining time: 48 minutes, 32 seconds.
Under Telepathy, the group of strangers had already entered the experimental Base. To be safe, Fang Yuan read the memory of one of the action team members.
Target Subject 071... suspected psychic ability... President's order... capture alive...
Alright, they were indeed coming for him, and they had even deduced that Fang Yuan possessed psychic abilities.
So, he no longer hesitated. Using Telepathy, he knocked out two researchers who came forward to inquire, then he spread his hand towards John's room door.
Click... creak...
The door immediately twisted and deformed, its lock rendered useless.
"Brother?" John's eyes widened, looking at Fang in astonishment, surprised by his power.
"John."
Fang Yuan rushed to John's side, feigning nervousness. To make it more convincing, he even controlled his heart rate to accelerate continuously.
With the 'Disguise' superpower unlocked by Mystique, Fang Yuan's control over his body was sufficient to achieve this.
"Brother, what's wrong?" John also became nervous, seeing Fang Yuan's expression, which he had never seen before.
"John, listen to me."
Fang Yuan quickly said, "Haven't you been asking where I went for the past two months?"
John nodded.
"Actually, I went outside the Base," Fang Yuan said, dropping a bombshell. "Two months ago, I suddenly discovered that my superpower had undergone a secondary mutation. I gained a new superpower, so I used this new ability to escape."
"I... I've never been outside," Fang Yuan said dejectedly. "But once I got outside, I realized that I didn't understand the outside World at all. I couldn't survive there."
"So I returned to the Base and used my new ability to make the people at the Base forget that I had ever disappeared."
"But... Brother, you didn't erase mine," John suddenly spoke.
"I won't control you, John," Fang Yuan explained earnestly. "You should have your own life!"
"No wonder my experimental projects have been so few these past few days," John suddenly realized, looking at Fang Yuan with gratitude.
Then John anxiously asked, "What's happening now?"
"Vought Corporation found out, and they've already sent people to surround the Base. They'll be here soon!" Fang Yuan replied.
"What!" John exclaimed in shock, "Brother, escape quickly!"
But Fang Yuan shook his head: "I, I can't."
"Are they too strong?"
Little John immediately clenched his fists, wanting to rush outside: "Brother, I'll help you!"
Fang Yuan quickly held him back: "John, don't go out!"
He looked into Xiao A Zu's eyes: "I can't escape."
"But why?" John was very confused.
"For you!" Fang Yuan said affectionately.
"If I escape, Vought Corporation will definitely target you, who is closest to me, and it's very likely they won't value you anymore!"
"I, I don't want their value!" Little John's voice was tearful. "Brother, I only want you!"
He clutched Fang Yuan's clothes tightly, as if afraid Fang Yuan would disappear the next moment.
"It's alright, John."
Fang Yuan smiled, stroking John's head and saying, "With Vought's obstruction, I can't live a normal life outside, but you are different."
"You can completely leave this wretched place and live a normal life outside!"
"As long as I'm gone."
John's pupils contracted violently, experiencing a huge shock. He asked in horror, "Gone... what does 'gone' mean?"
Seeing John like this, Fang Yuan suddenly felt a little unbearable.
But the act had already reached this point, and for John, this was also the optimal solution. After all, if he couldn't become Homelander, he could only become experimental material.
So Fang Yuan continued to explain: "John, only if I die can everything return to normal. You will still be an important character for Vought Corporation. Even if you are studied, you can still live safely!"
"No! I don't want that!"
John's tears finally fell, and he threw himself into Fang Yuan's arms.
"I just want to be with Brother!"
"You will, John," Fang Yuan whispered into Xiao A Zu's ear, "Live well, carrying my share!"
"Why?" John's tears soaked Fang Yuan's shoulder. He cried out, "Why can you leave, Brother? We can escape together!"
Fang Yuan straightened John's body, then smiled and curled his index finger, gently tapping his forehead twice.
"Because we're brothers!" Fang Yuan's gentle smile at this moment was deeply etched into little John's heart. "I don't want you to repeat my mistakes. I want you to live like a normal person!"
At this moment, rustling sounds were already coming from outside. Although the movement was very slight, with Xiao A Zu's hearing, he easily detected it.
"They've already arrived." Fang Yuan reached out to wipe John's tears, emphasizing, "You absolutely must not come to help me!"
"Remember, John, I saw outside that Vought Corporation's most important stars are a team of several super-powered individuals."
"If you can get in, the greater your fame, the less Vought Corporation will touch you, and the safer you will be!"
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yuan added two more sentences.
"Don't trust the people at Vought Corporation. They will only support you when you are beneficial to them."
"No matter how much dissatisfaction you have with Vought Corporation, pretend to obey them until you can replace it."
"Remember, the greater your fame among the public, the safer you will be!"
"You must remember my words, John!" Fang Yuan repeated.
John's tears flowed again. He stared deeply at Fang Yuan's face, wanting to engrave him in his heart forever.
"Mm!" He nodded, tears scattering to the ground with his movement.
At this moment, the armed action team members had already reached the door.
Roll, roll.
Several hypnotic gas canisters were thrown in, and immediately the entire room was filled with smoke.
Finally, Fang Yuan stroked John's head, smiling as he spoke. He knew John could see clearly: "Perhaps, the day you truly control Vought Corporation, we might even meet again."
After saying that, Fang Yuan turned directly, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled out the steel bars from the room's wall, stabbing them into the unsuspecting action team members, immediately incapacitating the closest ones.
Then he controlled the steel bars to shatter the corridor's outer wall and immediately ran out through the gap.
"He escaped, quick, pursue!" The action team members quickly followed.
This was the last image John had of Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan rushed into the abyss, leaving the chance to live for himself.
He stood there stunned, tears streaming down his face.
"Brother..."
