Chapter 1095 Illuminati
Upstate New York, military zone.
The Avengers' base is located here. Looking around, the scenery is green and lush, built next to the lake, and the scenery is beautiful and pleasant.
A Harrier fighter plane came through the sky, then hovered on the huge apron, slowly descended vertically and came to a stop.
As the hatch opens.
Captain America walked out first, followed by Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Ant-Man, pushing a high-tech coffin with the dead Nova lying inside, heading toward the headquarters with solemn expressions.
"Welcome back, Captain America Steve Rogers, Hawkeye Clinton Frances Barton, Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, Ant-Man Scott Lang."
The moment everyone stepped into the headquarters, the artificial intelligence in the base made a welcoming sound.
"Based on your performance in this mission, your exposure rate is seriously insufficient. The popularity value has dropped by about 5%. The overall popularity ranking remains unchanged. According to the superhero management regulations, one promotion will be reduced this month, and the other privileges remain unchanged. I hope all superheroes will work hard and gain more exposure and popularity next month."
Captain America's face was expressionless and his steps didn't stop at all, as if he didn't hear anything.
In fact, he heard this kind of 'kind reminder' many times a month. Since 'that incident' happened, everything has changed.
only......
The blue veins popping up on his forehead seemed to imply that his heart was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface.
"Fake, shut up!"
Hawkeye cursed angrily, his eyes filled with anger: "Let me eat shit from that damn popularity mechanism!"
"Barton, calm down." Black Widow shook her head helplessly and sighed: "Even if you scold hundreds of times, it won't change the reality."
"I'm almost out of the fucking top 100. Really, can you blame me?" Ant-Man complained: "Every time I encounter a disaster, I get bigger and it's easy to destroy the city. When I get smaller, I'm not exposed. Now people say I am nothing without this suit."
Speaking out, he felt unjust.
Last time, a large cruise ship in the port stalled and crashed into a bridge. In his desperation, he directly blocked the cruise ship without getting 'permission'. Although he saved the tourists on the bridge, he still didn't get the chance. But accidentally destroyed a luxury cruise ship worth billions of dollars.
Yawenba
Later on the website, he was criticized by many people for conducting superhero activities without permission and damaging a valuable cruise ship, causing minor injuries to dozens of wealthy businessmen.
In the end, he was punished by the Avengers, his popularity dropped a lot, and he was soon on the verge of unemployment.
But the problem is, he is not convinced!
If he hadn't stopped the cruise ship at that time, not only would the cruise ship have been lost, but hundreds of tourists on the bridge and thousands of tourists on the cruise ship would have perished in the flames!
But unfortunately, whether it was the rescued people, the onlookers, or the people on the Internet, they all accused him of violating the superhero management regulations.
No one cares about the disaster that has not happened or may happen. They only care about Ant-Man's behavior and his blatant defiance of superhero management laws, which must be severely punished.
If Captain America hadn't finally stepped forward to mediate the matter, I'm afraid he would still be in jail and face a number of dangerous charges.
As soon as this matter was brought up, Ant-Man became furious and his face was full of resentment.
“No one cares about a ‘might’ outcome, they only care about what has been lost.”
Black Widow sighed and said quietly: "You broke the rules. They just want to watch you cut your flesh. They don't care whether you are really wronged."
"Farke!"
Ant-Man became even angrier after hearing this, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn Superhero Registration Act, damn mutants, if it hadn't been for that incident, how could they be like this!"
"Shut up and stop saying a few words!"
Captain America had a sullen face and said coldly: "We have more important things. You take Xinxing's body and conduct an autopsy.
To find out what it was that caused his death, I'm going to meet...them. "
"Is that okay? Steve."
Black Widow asked worriedly: "You should know that based on just this sentence without any evidence, the management committee will not agree."
"Then we have to give it a try."
Captain America let out a deep breath, with a look of determination in his eyes: "And I firmly believe... Xinxing will not lie. There must be some terrible disaster that is about to come to the earth. We must prepare it in advance." Just be prepared.”
Xinxing's sudden death and those terrifying last words cast a thick layer of haze in his heart.
His intuition told him that he must act as soon as possible!
"Understood, we will get the autopsy report as soon as possible. At least this way... we can have more evidence." Black Widow knew that no matter how hard she tried to persuade her, it would be useless, so she could only nodded and said.
Then, the three of them pushed Xinxing's body and took the elevator and disappeared into the lobby. Captain America was left alone. After taking a deep breath, he walked to another elevator and pressed the button on the top floor.
The numbers on the elevator jumped rapidly.
Soon, it stopped at the 7th floor. After a ding, the elevator door slowly opened.
"Captain America Steve Rogers, you have not been authorized to enter the area where the management committee is located. Please leave immediately."
The base's artificial intelligence issued a warning.
"Shut up, I have important things to see the management committee!"
Captain America said coldly, and then walked straight along the spacious corridor, heading deeper, passed through three security doors, and came to the room where the management committee was located.
Thor and Ms. Marvel are also here.
The room is not very large. Facing the door is a ramp about two meters above the ground. At the top of the ramp, six metal seats are placed in sequence.
Sitting from left to right: Iron Man Tony Stark, Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, Doctor Strange Stephen Strange, Black Bolt Blackjack Burtgun, Aquaman Namor ?MacKenzie.
As for the last metal seat, it was empty.
The full name of the five of them is the Superhero Management Committee, or it can be called... the Illuminati!
Different from other superhero groups, the Illuminati advocates making minimum sacrifices to avoid greater sacrifices, and all members, more or less, possess huge energy and power, and have wisdom beyond many people.
Their existence is to prevent larger disasters in advance, usually by communicating in a secret way or carrying out certain actions.
Looking at the five people above, Captain America's eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.
If it hadn't been for 'that accident'...
Perhaps the Illuminati will never surface, let alone come to the forefront and formulate superhero management laws and registration laws.
"Steve Rogers, you broke into the committee without permission. According to regulations, you need to be punished accordingly."
Mr. Fantastic Reed was the first to speak, his eyes were cold and indifferent, like a piercing sharp blade.
"I'm willing to accept any punishment."
Captain America did not defend his actions, and uu Kanshu simply admitted it.
"Very well, then, let's talk."
Reed nodded with satisfaction and said, "What on earth happened that made you want to tell us even if you barged into the committee without permission?"
"Nova...is dead."
Captain America took a deep breath and said solemnly: "But before he died, he left a warning: 'It's coming.'"
"Xinxing's ability is not weak. Even in the universe, it is considered a very strong one. What can kill him and make him show fear must be some kind of terrible disaster!"
"So, I hope that from now on, we will increase our alert level, give up hunting mutants, and turn to external defense."
"Your suggestion...dismissed!"
Doctor Strange said coldly: "Mutants are an uneasy factor that must be eliminated. We cannot give up eradicating the mutant group and divert a large amount of power to defense just because of speculation without evidence. This is a meaningless consumption! "
"turn down!"
"turn down!"
"turn down!"
"turn down!"
The remaining four members rejected the proposal one by one.
"But......"
Captain America's eyes widened and he wanted to say something more, but his mouth was sealed by magic.
"Until you find evidence, we can't give up on those mutants just because of an unfounded guess."
Doctor Strange's eyes were cold and he said: "As the former leader of the Avengers, you who believed in those people should know in your heart what kind of disaster this terrible group has caused, right?"
"Mutants...must be destroyed!"
