Chapter 38
When Brock Rumlow walked down from the third floor with a black box, he saw the silent Cyber and Coulson leisurely drinking watermelon juice. He had already seen this kind of scene. It's weird, but any mission that Coulson plays will basically turn out to be like this in the end.
As Cyber said, Coulson is a very good "persuasion" person, and Coulson did not deceive Cyber, a trifling narrow island incident, really impossible to let a Level 8 agent, a Level 7 agent and him The commander of this rapid response special task force was dispatched together.
They had another task this time. They just stopped by Gotham and got the order from Chief Nick Fury to deal with the trouble caused by Cyber.
Although Brock Rumlow also thinks that Cyber is a dangerous person, for SHIELD, which is as large as the Olympus that supports Heaven and Earth, mysterious appearance in Gotham's Cyber is just a dispensable Little fellow, those things he did may be terrifying for this city, but for them, it's not worth mentioning.
Coulson turned his head to look at Brock Rumlow and the box in his hand. The latter was nodded to him. Coulson knew it. He turned his head and drank the last mouthful of watermelon juice through a straw, stood up, and sorted it out. I clicked on the clothes, patted his shoulder, and whispered,
"7 days ago, the killers of the League of Shadows held a cargo ship equipped with special equipment off the Atlantic Ocean. They will be in the past In a few days I arrived in Gotham. The instrument was made by Wayne Industries Europe Division for the U.S. Desert Operation Plan. Be careful, Cyber. For the sake of our good talk, I’ll give you a piece of advice. For those lunatics, don’t show mercy. This sentence can also be conveyed to the "hero" next to you."
He took a small box from the iceberg agent behind him and placed it next to Cyber.
"Here is a little gift from me personally. Crane used medicine to kill nearly a hundred people in Eastern Europe. You killed him and comforted those dead souls. You did the right thing."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the sunglasses on his chest, put them on his eyes, and walked out of the Old Gun Bar with his two companions. Soon, a roar of the engine rang and then slowly faded.
On the bright black SUV, Brock Rumlow was in charge of driving, Coulson and Agent Melinda May sat in the back seat, and the silent female agent had a black box in her hand. She Rubbing his fingers on the box for a moment, turned his head and looked towards Coulson, and asked in a hoarse voice,
"You seem to value him very much, Coulson, it's not like you."
"Is it important? No, no, no, personal preferences cannot be the basis for our actions, May."
Coulson took off his sunglasses, put out a long breath, and looked at the brightly lit on Gotham Pier outside the window "This city is very special. It used to be a symbol of the rapid economic development of the United States, but some people have already called it the "crime capital". Look at these people outside the window, May, we should have protected them, but We are not strong enough. What can they do in the face of violence that happens around them?"
"An ordinary person cannot protect himself even if he has a gun, and a Batman alone is not enough to make it more stable. , I don’t value him, but he’s very mysterious, isn’t it? In this weak city, it’s good to have one more person who is kind to us, especially if he is still a Mutant...you observe him For so long, May, do you think he is trustworthy?"
"How can someone like him be trustworthy? I can feel threatened when standing in front of him."
Agent May shook the head, took out a file from the box next to the car door, opened it, and inside it was a piece of personal information. The unclear photo was the Cyber that rescued Robin that night. Rachel was right, that Many people have seen this surveillance video.
"Cyber · Hawk, mysterious appeared in Gotham Gotham's Mutant a week ago, with suspected self-healing ability and short-term strength enhancement, preliminary judgment is Epsilon-class Mutant, Master Rank fighting skills, skilled gun control, there are Severe violent tendencies, extremely self-disciplined, unruly, suspected of having received strict training in a mysterious organization, threat level B+, for his necessary actions, it is not recommended that agents below Level 5 act alone."
Mei Kan After finishing Cyber's information, I turned a page back, and the result was blank at the end, which surprised her a bit. She looked at Coulson, who grinned at her.
"How? Feel it, right? Our investigative force spent 2 days and couldn’t find the slightest information about his past, his family relationship, his social circle, his religious beliefs, where he came from, nothing! I admit that I was right. He is very curious, but so far, he can’t influence the overall situation."
Coulson rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes slightly.
"Anyway, it’s just some information about Mutant. It won’t disrupt the balance. I’m more worried about General Stryker’s “weapon” plan. It’s hard to imagine that the Ministry of Defense will pass such a sensitive experiment. Although the Director has tried his best to fight for our monitoring rights, I only hope What they can do is secretive and low-key, stop provoking those crazy "The Brotherhood of Mutants"."
"It's the Weapon X project, you don't have to talk about X"
Brock Rumlow, who was driving, turned around and said, "I think this is a great thing. By the way, Coulson, that box was opened."
Coulson nodded,
"I know, But that’s nothing. It’s just a fear of poison qi. The Director didn’t intend to let the insiders disappear, otherwise they would not send us. Facing the League of Shadows, they also need some special things, Cyber and the bat, I hope not to let us clean up the mess in the end."
Of course, the conversation of the agent trio will not be known to others. After they left, Cyber turned off the lights and sat alone in the dark. , Seems to be thinking in this quiet environment, but from the cigar in his hand and the thick smoke, it can be seen that his heart is never peaceful.
Mutant!
He has always doubted whether his self-healing ability is abnormal. Now it seems that his worst guess has been confirmed by Coulson. He does not doubt Coulson’s evaluation of him. In fact, he also I don't think which SHIELD agent is deceiving him on this kind of thing.
Coulson should not be an ordinary person. Cyber can feel a trace of commanding temperament from him. He should be a middle-level person in that organization, and as a Cyber that has experienced similar incidents, he also knows that even the narrow island incident In the eyes of Mayor Gotham, it is not a major event.
There are 800W people in this city!
He opened the small box in his hand. Among them was a data card. Cyber took a deep breath. People who beg for life at the gun will not be so easy to succumb, even if life gives him a stick. Another great thing, he took out his mobile phone and put the data card in it.
A screen marked with SHIELD logo opens on the screen, rotates, Cyber lightly presses the OK button, and a document pops up.
"Mutant, this is a mysterious existence that is almost as old as the history of human civilization."
This sentence immediately attracted Cyber's attention. He took the cigar in his hand Put it in the ashtray and start to read this document that is not too long with concentrated attention completely. Although Coulson humbly said it is a "small gift", it is definitely one of the things Cyber needs most now.
"At the invitation of Pierce, I came from faraway Europe to the post-war America and began to engage in this surprising research work. I dare say that in the unfortunate death of Bolivar After Professor Trask, I was the first person to be able to conduct this research with full authority. It really makes people feel honored... Barabara."
Cyber turned 2 pages, it should be In a research report, Cyber was not interested in the emotions and preparations of the scholars, and he quickly found what was truly important.
"I found that in all the 237 experimental individuals in the experiment, their genes contained a part of the structure different from ordinary people, only a small segment, but I believe that this is what makes them different from ordinary people. The reason for the difference, and more importantly, is that in the genes of normal people, I also found some gene fragments that are very similar to these messy and special aesthetics, but they are not "activated"."
"Professor Bolivar named it "X gene". It is a pity that his research data has long been lost in the chaos, so we have to start from scratch. After 15 months of research, the entire huge In the discussion of the team, we believe that whether this short gene fragment is activated is the decisive factor in determining whether a newborn baby will become a Mutant. There are two ways to activate it. The first is the activation at birth, that is, the natural Mutant. "
"This situation is very rare, but in the research materials I have at hand, such Mutants are all extremely powerful Beta level or Alpha Mutants, such as destroying **Germany 11. The Magneto in a concentration camp, and Charles Xavier, the Mutant leader who has a goodwill towards the government, is worth mentioning that he is planning to open an Academy in Queens, New York, which will provide education for Mutant children. This is a real thing. Ordinary person is afraid of this kind of power, but we all know that mortals are stupid, and those poor children finally have a home."
After reading this paragraph, Cyberber has many more in my mind. Name, but he didn’t stop, but continued to look backwards.
"The second activation of X gene is more common. Most of them go through severe mood swings in adolescence, which will cause X gene to be Activated, 95% of Mutants appear in this situation, but it is undeniable that compared to the total number of people with X genes in the body, the currently activated Mutants are definitely only a few. Don’t doubt, maybe your best friend, Is a potential carrier of the X gene."
"If you look at it purely from this point, I have to regretfully conclude: Mutant is actually more like the evolutionary direction of an ordinary person, due to the past The statistics are not complete. I can only make a guess: as time goes by, the number of Mutants will increase and eventually reach a normal state. Overall, the threshold for the number of Mutants should be 10% of the total number of humans. -15%, this is a number that is enough to affect the progress of human civilization."
"If we have enough time and energy to search in ancient legends and myths, it will not be difficult for us to find those The heroes in the story and the great cha Many racters have Mutant characteristics, such as Merlin who uses magic around King Arthur, such as the alchemist who drives a big ship to find immortality medicine for the emperor in the legend of the Far East, such as the giant in the Nordic mythology, etc. If this conjecture is true, We have to face a pessimistic fact: Mutant has long left their traces in the history of human civilization, and there are more and more splendid than ordinary persons. "
"So, whether we want to admit it or not, they are our stronger and wiser compatriots. They are not monsters! "
"Mutant capability division table-1959 edition is attached. "
This research report is not long. Cyber took 15 minutes to read it. There was a document with the same name marked with the 1998 revision. Cyber didn’t open it immediately. He needed to digest what he just got. Knowledge.
The rigor and speculation in this article gave him a clear understanding of the Mutant group, and maybe it was the last sentence left by the unknown professor, maybe It is Cyber’s own emotions that have calmed down. In short, after reading it, he has a special sense of steadiness.
People are like this, realizing that he may be a freak in the crowd. At times, he always feels pressure, but once there are many people like him around, the pressure will disappear instantly, even if he may not be able to see his own clan in his life.
But now , He at least confirmed one thing, in this New World, he is not a monster, and he faintly feels that the real door of this world has been opened to him in little by little.
