Chapter 167
"peng"
The door of the office was pushed open, and Mei with a serious face walked into the office with a folder, and she placed it in front of her On the desk behind the tall silhouette with his back facing him.
"Director, 15 minutes ago, two super-scale lightning strikes broke out in the mountains near the border in Quebec. A secret military base was completely destroyed. No casualties have been detected. The Ministry of Defense There was a questioning meeting minutes ago...about this matter."
"hmph, lightning strike?"
The silhouette did not look back, he was standing in the Manhattan Delta Wing 37 On the edge of the floor-to-ceiling portholes on the first floor, the only one left looking at the city just awakened from sleep outside the window, his voice is very penetrating, just by hearing it, you can feel a special will exist in it.
"May, you used to be the best agent here, do you really believe that it was a lightning strike?"
Faced with this question, Agent May, who has already transferred to the civil service, did not answer , But her silence is actually an answer.
"Professor Charles’s moderates have been settled for several decades. The guys in Congress may have forgotten how that person was by the strength of oneself back then and saved the world from the poison of war. They have forgotten The terrifying power he has mastered...but there are always people who like to see this world blazing. What’s more terrifying is that when a group of restless idiots gather around him, this arrogant fantasy will become terrifying. Reality."
"Huh..."
The man in the black leather jacket held the guardrail outside the porthole with both hands. He breathed a sigh of relief, "The professor is demonstrating. He is using this way to make us express our dissatisfaction. Has the Stryker's investigation result come out?"
May nodded,
"It's already out, do you need me to give it to you?"
"No... directly to the old guys who are not sober-minded at the Ministry of Defense, let them see what the person they rely on is really!"
"Then do we need to intervene in the Mutant and Stryker's incident? I am worried that things may change."
May whispered, "Coulson monitors the Weapon X plan for 4 months. In his report, Said that Stryker is likely to have another research base in the country. I am worried that Mutant of the Charles faction will attack that place, which may cause panic among the people."
"Intervene? No! We don't Step in!"
Nick Fury, the current leader of SHIELD, the king of agents in the world, shrugged,
"We just need to do the finishing touches, and we should give it to those stubborn A lesson to let them know that this world does not operate according to their ideas...but to strengthen the monitoring of The Brotherhood of Mutants, I always feel that Magneto must be planning something extraordinary after having been dormant for so many years. "
"By the way, let Coulson's go faster...In the face of more and more complex situations, we need some stronger cards."
On the other side, Gotham Cemetery, this place is as quiet as ever, Cyber is standing in front of the tombstone of the cross, and Katherine in a white dress is standing beside him.
"This city is still this kind of disgusting haze after 3 years..."
Cyber's hand gently slid on the tombstone in front of you, with a slight sharpening, His eyes have never been so sad and gentle. He whispered,
"old fogey...I'm back to see you."
A gust of wind blows and cuts Cyber's hair Blowing, it seems that the dead relatives are saying hello to him,
"I thought that after I came back, I could still see you, but you left alone."
"Do you know? Although we have only been together for a year...but in my heart, your status is very important, a stubborn, rude, unlikable old man..."
Cyber closed his eyes slightly, and said softly as if mumbling, "But it's the first really good person I have ever met in my life. How I wish you were murdered...at least. Let me chop some idiots to vent my anger..."
"But now, how do you let me fight time?"
His fingers tightened sharply, a drop Tears were left from the corners of Cyber's eyes. He who had always been mad, eventually revealed his weakness. He had concealed it very well, but now, facing the lost, there is no concealment anymore. It's necessary.
"You say you hate Gotham a million times, but you still choose to die in this place where you were born. You still like it in the end, right?"
" You can’t let go of the city you hate in the end, right?"
Cyber took a bottle of spirits from the tearful Katherine, twisted it, poured half of it, and poured the other half. On the ground in front of the cemetery,
"Then I will help you...watch it well."
"Don't bother you...cough cough"
" p>
Cyber coughed and covered his mouth with a handkerchief. When letting go, the dark red of horrible to see made Katherine couldn't help but tighten Cyber's arm, and the latter laughed towards him,
"Don't worry, little girl, I haven't finished what I should do, I won't just fall down like this."
"Step on, step on"
A heavy The sound of footsteps sounded behind the two people, and they did not look back. After a while, Gordon, who was much older, stepped forward and put the flowers in his hand in front of the old man’s tomb.
"He went It’s very peaceful...but I can’t let you go."
Gordon knelt down, reached out to clear the weeds around the tombstone, and whispered, "But I think if he can really see When you come to see him, he will be very happy. He might still scold you... You know, he is this kind of person. He scolds you face to face for nothing, but will use him again soon. You didn’t know whether to cry or laugh to accept his kindness.”
"en. ”
Cyber is silent and nodded, no one speaks, for a few minutes Afterwards, Gordon clapped his hands and stood up. He already had clear wrinkles on his face and gray hair on top of his head. He seemed to be a dozen years older than the last time Cyber saw him.
But still the clothes that have remained unchanged for thousands of years, black-rimmed glasses, stern but warm eyes, the police chief stood with Cyber, and he said softly,
"Thanks to you, Gotham is very good now... the good ones are a bit unbelievable, but I can still smell the feeling that comes from the darkness of this city, the danger never leaves, I have I was very curious at the time, a trifling Gotham, why has attracted so many freaks...Does Devil Gang come back?"
In the face of Gordon’s straightforward inquiry, Cyber shook the head,
"I don't know, maybe it will, after all, this is our root, will you welcome us?"
Gordon shrugged,
"Why not What? Although the current gangs in this city are only resurgence, I am still very happy to see some Old Partners come to help me share the pressure, but the same as before...It can only be the dock area and the narrow island!"
"Huh..."
He sighed, took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief and wiped it off. He suddenly asked in a low voice, "Cyber, you say Gotham really Will there be a day when order is completely restored?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Cyber's finger swipes gently on the tombstone in front of me, Gordon laughed Two times, "Yeah, who knows the future? We have all lost our relatives because of a damn madman. They have now passed Joker as a lace story on the streets. Look, this city, It’s really disappointing."
He turned and left, whispered as he left,
"Come to my house for dinner tonight, Barbara and Jimmy miss you and Katherine, Robin will come too."
Gordon patted Cyber's shoulder, said strongly,
"Don’t come! Did you hear me?"
" Okay."
Cyber's fingers removed from the tombstone, he turned his head to look at Gordon, "Can I bring another guest?"
Gordon curl one's lip," Feel free, I’m very spacious anyway."
Let’s go back 4 hours slightly. At Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters in Queens, New York, Cyber and Katherine were preparing to leave New York and return to Gotham’s. The door of his room was knocked.
"Come in"
Cyber said without looking back. After a while, a somewhat cautious Santas walked in. He had changed into a set of suitable clothes, but because he was too thin So it looked like a bamboo pole. After he walked in, he stood at the door of the room in a daze, probably wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
Cyber ignored him. A few minutes later, after they finished packing, Cyber sat on the edge of the bed, lit a cigarette, then looked at Santas, and threw him another one, this time The youngster didn’t refuse any more. He put the cigarette to his mouth and took a awkward sip. This pastime at the expense of health made him less stressed. He lifts the head, looked at Cyber, took a deep Breath, speak loudly,
"Mr. Cyber, I...I don't think I am suitable for here, can I follow you?"
"en?"
Cyber's raised his brows, "What about the reason? We do everything for a reason, right?"
"I...I just think this place makes me feel weird. .."
Santas is a little uncomfortable shook the head, Cyber snorted,
"To be honest, child, I can tell you a lie."
This sentence made the youngster frustrated. He pulled his head and looked around, before lowering his voice and saying,
"Those you told me before, I don’t want to be a weak person. I want to protect my younger sister, I have lost my parents, but I can’t do it now...I want to learn how to fight with you."
"But if you want to learn to fight, you stay It’s more appropriate here, isn’t it?"
Cyber flicked his fingers, "Professor Charles is currently one of the most powerful Mutant bipolars in the world, and Ms. Ororo, you have also seen her A base can be destroyed with a wave of my hand. I am far worse than them."
"no! Different!"
Santas explained somewhat unconvincingly, "I I also saw the battle of Ms. Ororo, how should I say, she made me feel... very powerful, but without the imposing manner I wanted... You also said that I will be a born killer, I think Killers also need that kind of imposing manner, but they can’t teach me... this Academy doesn’t have a way to learn that imposing manner and how to kill. The guy who came years earlier than me has not even killed one. People, I chat with them, I feel they are a bit...a bit naive."
He stretched out his hands tangledly and separated his fingers,
"I have killed almost 30 people. ...They really can't teach me."
"But follow me, you may die tomorrow..."
Cyber flicked the soot and said indifferent expression, "If you die, you will have nothing. Isn't it good to live a peaceful life? "
"I am not afraid of death! "
Santas put down his finger and whispered, "I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid of being locked up in a cage again. The kind of despair that has lost freedom may be rushed in at any time." People dragged away, I am not afraid of death! I'm just afraid of being slaughtered! "
He moved towards Cyber and bowed deeply,
"Please train me! Mr. Cyber! "
The atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant. Katherine sat on the other side, looking at Santas, and then turned to look at the silent Cyber. The little girl pursed her mouth. She asked,
"What about your younger sister? Will Clarice allow you to follow us? "
"She, she will agree! "
Santas whispered, "She will understand me!" "
"Well...Go pack things, we will leave here in 1 hour. "
Cyber took the cigar back into his mouth and said vaguely, "This is your own way. If you die, don't blame me!" "
Santas lifts the head in surprise. He opened the door when he was un'ed and turned, and then stood there, outside the door, Ororo with an unconvinced expression standing there holding the textbook , Looked at Cyber with a bad face, and after a while, she said loudly,
"I want to fight you! "
