Chapter 68
The weather in New York in early winter is very good, and even if it is extremely bad, it is much better than Gotham, which is hazy for most of the year.
When the sun shines into the room, it is 9 o'clock in the morning. In a metropolis like New York, this time means that most people have already started a new day of life. Of course, lazy We still don't want to get up in the bed.
"Humhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh andhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh When the seventh knock on the door sounded, Cyber's eyes opened suddenly and yawned greatly.
After a while, wearing pajamas and stepping on slippers, he stood at the door, with his left hand on the handle and his right hand behind his back.
"Who?"
"Room service, sir."
A nice female voice rang outside the door, Cyber's raised her brows, subconsciously looked towards the clock hanging on the wall,
"Okay, okay, wait a minute."
He quietly leaned against the wall, reached out and opened the door. Agent May, dressed in black casual clothes and a windbreaker outside, walked into the room, but at the next moment, she drew out her pistol and pointed it at Cyber behind the door like lightning. Cyber's muzzle also reached her forehead.
This welcome ceremony is not very friendly.
After two people with big eyes staring at small eyes stood there for a few seconds, Agent May put away the pistol first and glanced at Cyber with messy hair,
"Go first Let’s wash, we’ll talk about it later."
After finishing talking, I ignored Cyber's muzzle and walked into the guest room like that, and sat on the chair by the window.
Cyber scratched his head, he recognized Agent May, but he didn’t know what SHIELD staff were doing here, looking at the black hair who was sitting in the house with his back facing him and said nothing. Beauty, he finally shrugged helplessly, stuck a pistol on his waist, and walked into the bathroom.
Five minutes later, the freshly refreshed Cyber sat opposite Agent May. Two cups of hot tea were already placed on the table in front of the two of them. Mei, who is more approachable than she seems, always feels that her temperament is a bit weird, but he did not ask too much on this topic, but said directly,
"I came to New York as a personal matter. I don’t want to have too much ties to SHIELD, and I won’t cause trouble, so let’s talk about it, what are you doing here?"
"I’m here on behalf of SHIELD, Cyber."
Agent May put the tea in her hand aside, her pair of Jianshui Qiu pupils moved away from the scenery outside the window, and looked at Cyber's, "Relax, it's not a warning or expulsion, but a protection, or you It can be considered that during this period of time in New York, I will be the guide for you and that little girl."
"Guide?"
Cyber lifted his legs and lifted the tea, lightly Sniffing the bright fragrance lightly, he looked at the iceberg beauty with the same skin tone on the opposite side playfully, he curl one's lip,
"I do need a guide, but How should I say... Let’s talk frankly, Agent May, I don’t think your chief will send a Level 7 agent to be my and Katherine's guide, even if I don’t know your internal level, but Coulson does. If the guy is only Level 8, you can barely be considered a high-level person."
He put down the teacup in his hand, leaned forward, pressed his hands on his legs, his eyes narrowed, and the expression in his eyes became very sharp. Aggressive,
"Miss May, do you think I am a fool?"
Such aggressive eyes are useless to Mei, and the expression on her face is also No change, she reached out and took out a slender cigarette from the pocket of the windbreaker, Cyber extended the hand, lit her up, and after the first scent-filled smoke floated, Mei spoke again.
"Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is one of your destinations, right?"
"Well, thank you Coulson's for this little gift."
Cyber leaned on the chair and spread his hands. "According to the above, Professor Charles is a kind elder. My meeting with him won't bother you, will it?"
"Really not. Mr. Charles advocates Mutant's gentle integration into human society. He and SHIELD have a good record of cooperation and are indeed trustworthy, but you need to worry about the other part... About your compatriots, you still don't know deeply enough. , Cyber."
"The Brotherhood of Mutants?"
Cyber groaned for a moment, he touched the chin, looked towards Agent May,
"Your Means, they are dangerous?"
"Dangerous?"
Plum shook the head, put the hot tea to his mouth, lightly garnished it,
"Danger is no longer enough to describe them. They are hidden dangers. They not only threaten human society, but also threaten the already chaotic Mutant society. Magneto Erik Lanchel is proud of his bloodline. He is the world’s most One of the mighty Mutants and the leader of Brotherhood. He and Charles are completely two extremes."
"You mean, they will kill me? Why?"
Cyber continued to ask. This question made May hesitate for a while, but she finally decided to speak frankly,
"No, they won't kill you. Erik's hatred only focuses on ordinary persons. He calls all Mutants As "brother", The Brotherhood of Mutants contains a large number of Epsilon Mutants, which are non-threatening ones. The Brotherhood of Mutants will not actively harm any Mutant, regardless of his skin color, race or age."
"Epsilon grade is harmless?"
Cyber's expression is a bit weird, he squinted at Mei,
"Then I am also harmless, am I not? ?Since they won't kill me, why should I worry about them?"
"Like you, do you think you are harmless?"
Mei A weird smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. "When we first met you, Coulson suggested that Level 5 agents should not come into contact with you alone, but after you and Batman killed Ra's El Goul together, this was a suggestion. The level has become Level 6. Do you know what Level 6 agents mean to those Mutants? "
She didn’t need Cyber to answer her question. She felt the fragrance of tea and stretched out a finger.
"Level 6 agents are enough to deal with any gamma Mutant In fact, with the support of special weapons, they can even tie the weaker Beta level Mutant. You are indeed an Epsilon level, but your lethality and damage are not comparable to other Epsilon levels. , Frankly speaking, after you enter a fighting state, I will find you very tricky. "
"Oh oh oh...it turns out to be just tricky. "
Cyber laughed heartily, "It seems that our Agent May also has its own means of hiding"
After laughing, he picked up the tea cup, glanced at Mei, and said softly,
"But you haven't answered my question yet, why should I worry about them? "
"They will win you over, Cyber. Once they know your true identity and what you are doing, they will try their best to draw you into their camp, and even Magneto himself may appear , We have to prevent this from happening, if you can join the side of Professor Charles, we will be happier. "
Cyber pursed his lips. This frankly overwhelming answer surprised him. After a while, he lifted the head, looked at May, and said every word,
"You are scared! "
"Yes, we are scared. "
May admitted this indifferently. She brushed her black hair behind her ears. "What we are afraid of is a Cyber Hawk that has lost all the bottom line. Once we get the cooperation of Brotherhood's resources, You will cause great trouble to the ordinary person's world, but Cyber, you have already seen the hidden side of this world. In that world, we are not afraid of you. "
"Do you know what people's first reaction to fear is?" "
Agent May put out a long breath, her eyes turned to the window. On the top floor of another building, a man wearing black Battle Armor and tactical sunglasses has raised the black compound in his hand. Bow, don’t doubt, as long as he loosens his left hand, the arrow will cross a distance of 543 meters, smash the glass next to Cyber’s body, and then another arrow will pierce his head. That’s Barton, Level 8 agent. !
May turned her head and looked at Cyber with a gentle smile on her face.
"Are you willing to take the risk? Cyber, you see, we can be friends. "
Cyber's expression has not changed much, there is no hostility, no kindness, more impossible and fearful, but a few seconds later, a smile appeared on his face, he squinted his eyes and stretched out to Agent May Get your hands,
"Then, the past few days will trouble you, guide Mei, oh, yes, just right, please help me check the address of the parents of a poor child, you I know, I am not familiar with New York. "
So, Cyber, Katherine added a very competent guide in New York. On the first day, three people went to many places to play, and in the evening, Agent May added Katherine's parents’ current The address was handed over to Cyber, also at night, in their hometown of Gotham, and a piece of information was also handed over to another person.
Gordon, the newly appointed director, stood at Gotham Police Station in the middle of the night. In the building of, there is a large black searchlight next to him, which has been modified. When the searchlight is turned on, in the always cloudy sky of Gotham, a light curtain of black bats will appear.
This is the signal he and Batman agreed to meet. In Gotham, where the lights are bright, there are a lot of searchlights like this. Unless you are a caring person, you won't have too much doubt.
Gordon still wears his own. In a decent suit, he stretched out his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. In this cold winter, waiting like this at night is not a pleasant thing.
"Hu"
As if a night wind was blowing, a low and hoarse voice sounded behind him,
"What can I do? "
Gordon turned his head and saw the big black bat quietly appearing on the edge of the building. He was leaning against the wall, and the eyes under his visor were reassuring. Is firm and persistent.
"Uh, actually, there are actually three things. "
Gordon is shrugged. He seems to be used to the appearance and disappear unpredictably of Batman. He doesn't talk nonsense, and just started talking about business.
"There is one The bad news, last night, the Gotham morgue was stolen..."
The new chief of police pursed his lips. "But when the coroner checked, only one was missing. The corpse is a woman. To be sure, she is also a member of the attack on Gotham's League of Shadows. The National Guard has just withdrawn from the city, and now it is only restoring the order of the city. I can’t wait to send everyone in my hand out. So this matter, I beg you. "
"Well, yes! "
Batman nodded, anything related to the League of Shadows is not something an ordinary person can intervene. Even if Gordon doesn’t say it, he will take the initiative to look for clues about this matter.
"The second thing is about the narrow island. I don't know which link has the problem. In short, among the civilians who have been rescued, a considerable number of people have begun to worship you..."
Gordon looked at Batman and said solemnly, "Similar to the worship of a cult, I have to confirm in advance, you have no plans to become a "Sect Lord"? "
"Am I such a boring person?" "
Batman said indifferently, "Let them go, what else?" "
"The last thing is about the Gotham Wharf, Cyber...well, I mean, someone is forming a special gang in the wharf area in the name of "red devil". "
Gordon rubbed his chin. "The number is small, but they are all very tricky guys. It is said that they still have plenty of weapons, but Cyber is one of the city’s saviors, and I can't find him or contact him now, so I want to consult. Do you think it will be a threat? "
"Not currently...I will monitor them, including the red devil. "
Batman took the initiative to take the task, but just when he was about to leave, Gordon took another thing from his arms and handed it to him.
Batman In his hand, it was a plastic bag with more than a dozen ordinary playing cards. He turned that card over and on it was a blood-stained Joker.
"7 Joker cards It is exactly the same. This was discovered at the scene of the crime in the last 5 days. The method was very brutal, and the preliminary judgment was that the purpose was not money. Obviously, Gotham had another serial murderer. "
Gordon lowered his head and wiped his glasses with a handkerchief. His expression was a bit embarrassing. "I know this should be the duty of the police, but I am too nervous now. The League of Shadows is broken. I got out of jail, and now just arresting those prisoners is giving me a headache, so if he comes back again, I can only ask you! "
"en?"
After waiting for a few seconds, there was no response. Gordon put his glasses on his face, lifts the head, and there was nothing in front of him.
Like many times before, handing over a tricky thing to him, and he never disappoints.
