Chapter 1058: I Want… Your Face

This so-called Thousand Faces mask was made from nanotechnology, which came from Stark.

After creating the suitcase version of Mark 5’s battle armor, the tycoon already had some ideas for a nanosuit. However, his nanotechnology was still a little too crude, far from the requirements to make a nanosuit.

Hence, the tycoon hadn’t delved deeper into this idea.

However, Luke wasn’t wearing a uniform with complicated functions. He just wanted to change his face.

If the technology for the nanosuit was the product of a phD academic, then the nanomask was at most a handicraft by a primary school student.

That was why Luke was able to put this experimental product together so quickly.

This nanomask could simulate a high-quality face. It wasn’t adverse to water or friction, and wouldn’t come off. The only weakness was that it was a little sensitive to electricity.

It could only store one fixed model of a face, which meant that the mask could only produce a fixed face.

When the technology improved in the future, it could store more models and complete multiple switching operations.

As for the thousand faces that Luke was looking forward to, there would no longer be a limit to the number of face models. It would even be able to scan faces on the spot and change into them instantly.

This was all for the future.

For now, a single mask was already very useful, and might be used for a long time.

Because Luke had an inventory, it was a small matter to prepare a few masks in advance. It was safer and more convenient than using makeup to change his appearance.

In addition, the complete Thousand Faces System would actually include armor, and the size could also be modified.

However, due to limitations in the technology, Luke only had the face, and couldn’t even put together a trial version of the armor.

For now, he had to rely on his previous methods to change his size.

Thus, there weren’t a lot of faces he could use.

He could only go deeper and gradually perfect the system in the future.

By then, there would be many ways to play the game.

For example, if Selina transformed into him, he could disappear for a day or two.

They only went to the police station once every two or three days, and Selina didn’t have to show up with him.

Selina could then use his face one day and her own the day after to create the illusion that they were both in New York.

After they arrived in New York, they had started doing more things on their own compared with in Los Angeles. For example, Luke went to familiarize himself with the terrain while Selina went shopping.

Going out alone wouldn’t arouse suspicion easily.

The job of a detective was still the most suitable for both of them.

Not only were they able to officially look for all kinds of information without arousing suspicion, they also didn’t have to go to work and get off work at a fixed time. Their time was flexible, and they could arrange it however they liked.

In the future, Luke could use a fake identity to earn experience and credit points in other places while he appeared to be in New York on the surface.

No matter how amazing data analysis was, it would be impossible to connect him to major events and arouse suspicion.

As he was thinking this, Luke asked Selina casually, “By the way, is there anyone’s face that you want for your mask? Even a celebrity’s face is possible.”

Selina rolled her eyes. “I want… your face!”

Luke said with a smile, “That’s already included. What else would you like?”

Selina hesitated. She really hadn’t considered it.

Looking at her, Luke could only guide her patiently. “First of all, it has to be beautiful, right?”

Selina raised an eyebrow. Who wants an ugly one? Why is your first mask of John Wick and not Foggy? Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about it?

Oblivious to the woman’s silent criticism, Luke asked, “Secondly, what type? It would be better if it isn’t Latin American. How about African-American?”

Selina frowned. “African-American?”

Luke said, “It’s not like I’ll prepare just one for you. I have my own African-American alias and a lot of others.”

That alias was called White Wolf, and the public even called him the Angel of Judgment. How handsome was that, for an African-American to be able to become an angel? he murmured inwardly.

Selina agreed. “Alright. Just design one for me. I don’t have any other requests.”

Luke was amused when he heard this, and he worked on the computer for a bit. “How about this?”

Selina looked at the real life-sized 3D projection in front of her. After examining it for a moment, she nodded and said, “This is fine, but this hair… can it be longer?”

Luke said, “This is a tool; of course, it has to be practical. You’ll probably be fighting with this face in the future, so long hair isn’t necessary.”

Selina was convinced again. Fine, she was just a tool. Short hair was fine, and she herself had long hair. It was also good to change her style occasionally.

It was an oval-shaped face, with a high nose bridge, long and narrow eyes, thin lips and a small mouth. It had an exquisite charm and would be considered pretty by anyone.

The skin was a dark wheat color, and the short white hair was in the style of a crew cut. It was simple and refreshing — apart from the fact that it was a military-style cut, it indeed wouldn’t be easy to grab hold of this hair.

After sizing up the face for a moment, Selina was satisfied. At least, she wasn’t opposed to changing into this appearance.

Now that she had experienced it for herself, she also cleared her thoughts. “Then, I want a white woman with golden hair and beautiful features. Pick one for me.”

Luke laughed involuntarily and switched to another model.

Selina observed it for a moment, then nodded without hesitation. “I want this too.”

The reason she chose these two styles was very simple.

Firstly, they were indeed very beautiful.

Secondly, their faces weren’t any that she recognized, including that of celebrities.

Naturally, Luke wouldn’t tell her that this was a famous actress in his previous life.

The first face was that of Hallie Berry, and the second was of Nicole Kidman, both of whom were recognized as top beauties.

These two celebrities didn’t exist in this world, nor did they exist in real life, at least not among American celebrities.

Since Selina had chosen these two aliases, he would arrange for them to appear in America legally.

It had taken Luke a little more time to handle something like this previously. Now, it was almost like an assembly line for him.

After a series of online payments, two fake identities would appear in the United States within a month.

Of course, these identities couldn’t be investigated in too much detail.

But if someone really looked into them, they could be abandoned right away.

Whether it was the nanomask or creating a new identity, it was just a matter of spending a little money, and wasn’t worth agonizing over.

Suddenly, the laboratory’s A.I. program, Sponge, sent a notification. “Sir, there’s an emergency.”

A virtual screen instantly appeared not far away from them. “It appears that Frank Castle was ambushed in Brooklyn, and has been captured by the enemy.”

Luke was stunned. “What?”
