"If I were to end up naked, what would the citizens of New York say? They'd probably call me the Naked Superhero, haha... But I can't always rely on this. It looks like I need to create a uniform that can withstand my speeds."
While pondering such thoughts, he suddenly dove down, arriving above the Osborne Building. The sky was now quite dark, and aside from some security personnel, there seemed to be no other employees. Well, that wasn't entirely accurate—there was also Electro.
Electro had just regained consciousness minutes ago and was still disoriented, confused about the glowing condition of his body, feeling both strange and terrified. He had no idea how he had become this way or how he could survive in human society under these conditions.
Filled with fear and sadness, as well as anger over this inexplicable transformation, Electro's violent emotions grew stronger. As his anger intensified, the electricity from surrounding wires began to stray from its usual paths, surging into Electro's body. He absorbed the currents like a charger, feeling fulfilled and satisfied; every cell of his body buzzed with renewed energy and vitality.
Due to unstable voltage, the lights in Osborne began flickering erratically before finally going out entirely, plunging the building into darkness.
With the sudden loss of the electric currents, that wonderful sense of fullness vanished as well, leaving Electro feeling lost. However, as an electrical engineer, he realized that the Osborne Building had just tripped a circuit breaker. He made his way to the top of the building, where the main circuit breaker was located, hoping to continue charging himself.
"Who's there? Who's there?"
Suddenly, security guards rushed in, shouting as they approached, flashlights and truncheons in hand, their beams of light converging on Electro.
The guards were taken aback, horrified, and one shouted, "My God, what kind of monster are you?"
"Monster?" Electro trembled at this word, his gaze falling on a glass window, where a glowing blue figure was illuminated.
Isn't that me? I really do look like a monster.
Covering his face in distress, Electro was engulfed in fear and panic. He turned and ran toward the stairs.
"Stop! You thief, stop! You odd thief in strange clothing, stop right there!"
The guards found their courage and chased after Electro, believing that his glowing appearance was merely due to his bizarre attire.
The relentless pursuit made Electro increasingly agitated. Suddenly, he raised his left hand, and a brilliant electric arc shot through the air, striking one of the guards. That guard convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
The other guards were taken aback, halting in their tracks, no longer daring to pursue.
Electro continued running down to the lower levels, crashing through the glass doors and escaping the Osborne Building.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Electric Man!"
Ye Hai descended from the sky, grinning as he looked at Electro.
Electro was his target; he intended to capture him for his research.
