Chapter 38: 2. Another identity

When Rumlow walked down the third floor with a black box, he saw Silber and Coleson drinking watermelon juice leisurely. It’s already strange, but all the missions of Coulson will basically become like this in the end.
As Cyber ​​said, Coulson is a person who is very good at "persuading", and Coulson did not deceive Cyber. In a narrow island incident, it is really impossible to have an 8-level agent, a 7-level agent and him The commander of this quick response agent unit was dispatched together.
They had another task this time, just passing Gotham by the way, and then received the order of Director Nick Fury, to deal with the trouble caused by Cyber.
Although Rumlow also believed that Cyber ​​was a dangerous person, for the huge S.H.I.E.L.D. like the Olympus Mountain that supported the world, Cyber, who mysteriously appeared in Gotham, was just a dispensable little guy. Well, the things he does may be terrible for this city, but for them, it is not worth mentioning.
Coulson turned his head and looked at Rumlow and the box in his hand. The latter nodded at him. Coulson understood that, he turned his head, drank the last bite of watermelon juice through a straw, stood up, and sorted out A little clothes, patted his shoulder, whispered,
"7 days ago, the Shadow Warrior Alliance’s killer was holding a cargo ship with special equipment outside the Atlantic Ocean. They will arrive in Gotham in the next few days. The equipment was made by the Wayne Industries European Division for the US desert combat plan. Be careful, Cyber, for the sake of our great conversation, I will give you a piece of advice. For those lunatics, don’t be merciful, this sentence can also be passed on to the "hero" around you."
He took a small box from the iceberg agent behind him and placed it next to Cyber,
"Here is a little "gift" that I personally gave to you. Klein once killed nearly a hundred people with drugs in Eastern Europe. You killed him and comforted those dead souls. You did it right."
After he finished, he took the sunglasses on his chest and brought them to his eyes, and walked out of the old gun bar with the two companions.Soon, a roar of the engine sounded, and then slowly faded.
On that bright black SUV, Rumlow was driving. Coulson and Agent Melinda May were sitting in the back seat. The unspoken female agent had a black box in her hand and her finger was in the box. After a moment of rubbing, he turned to look at Coulson, and asked in a hoarse voice,
"You seem to value him, Coulson, it's not like you."
"Thanks? No, no, personal preferences cannot be the basis for our actions, May."
Coulson took off his sunglasses and took a breath, looking at the brightly illuminated Gotham Pier outside the window, "This city is very special. It used to be a symbol of the rapid development of the US economy, but some people have called it." "The capital of crime", look at these people outside the window, Mei, we should have protected them, but our strength is not enough, what can they do in the face of the violence that occurs around them?"
"Ordinary people can't protect themselves even if they have guns, and just a Batman is not enough to make it more stable. I don't value him, but he is mysterious, right? In this weak city, there is one more right People with good intentions are good, especially if he is still a mutant...You have observed him for so long, May, do you think he is worthy of trust?"
"How can someone like him be trustworthy? I can feel threatened when I stand in front of him."
Agent May shook his head, took a file out of the box next to the door, and opened it with a piece of personal information. The unclear picture was exactly the same day that Robin rescued Robin from that night. Rachel said no. Wrong, that surveillance video has indeed been watched by many people.
"Sib Hawke, a mutant who mysteriously appeared in Gotham Gotham a week ago, is suspected of self-healing and short-term strength enhancement, and is initially judged to be an Ypsilon-level mutant, master-level fighting technique, and skilled firearms. Master, have a tendency to severe violence, extreme self, bohemian, suspected to have been strictly trained in a mysterious organization, threat level B+, for his necessary actions, it is not recommended that agents below level 5 act alone."
After reading Cyber's information, May turned a page backwards, and the result was blank. This surprised her a little. She looked at Coulson, who grinned at her.
"How about it? Feel it. With our investigative power, it took 2 days, but I couldn't find any trace of his past, his family relationship, his social circle, his religious beliefs, where he came from, I don't know anything! I admit that I am curious about him, but for now, he can't influence the overall situation."
Coulson rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes slightly,
"Anyway, it’s just some information about the mutants, it won’t break the balance. I’m more worried about General Tresco’s side. His
weapon
plan, it’s hard to imagine that the Ministry of Defense would actually pass such a sensitive experiment, although the director We have tried our best to control, but I only hope that they can do something secret and low-key, and stop provoking those crazy "brothers of mutants"."
"It's the weapon X plan, you miss an X"
Rumlow, who drove back, said, "I think it's awesome, yes, Coleson, that box was opened."
Colson nodded,
"I know, but that's nothing, it's just a fear of poison gas, and the Secretary didn't plan to let all insiders disappear, otherwise they wouldn't send us to come. In the face of the Shadow Warriors Alliance, they also need some special stuff, Cyber ​​and that only Bat, I hope not to let us clean up the mess at the end."
The conversation of the agent's trio is naturally not known to others, and after they leave, Cyber ​​turns off the light and sits alone in the dark, seeming to think in this quiet environment, but pinching from his hands The cigar and the thick smoke can be seen, and his heart is never calm.
Mutants!
In fact, 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 Coleson’s evaluation of him. In fact, he does not think that he comes from What kind of SHIELD special trade union deceived him in such matters.
Coulson should not be an ordinary person. Cyber ​​could feel a sense of dominance from him. He should be in the middle of that organization. And as Cyber, who had experienced similar incidents, he also knew that even the narrow island incident In the eyes of Mayor Gotham, neither is a big deal.
There are 800W people in this city!
He opened the small box in his hand, which contained a data card. Cyber ​​took a deep breath, and the person begging for life on the muzzle would not be so easy to yield, even if life gave him a stick, he Take out your mobile phone and put the data card in it.
A screen marked with the S.H.I.E.L.D logo was opened on the screen and rotated, and Cyber ​​pressed the OK button lightly, and a document jumped out.
"Variants, this is a mysterious existence that is almost as old as the history of human civilization."
This sentence immediately attracted Cyber's attention. He placed his cigar in an ashtray and began to concentrate on reading this not-so-long document, although Coleson humbly said it was a "small "Gift", but this is definitely one of the things Cyber ​​needs most.
"At the invitation of Pierce, I rushed from faraway Europe to the post-war United States to start this surprising research work. I dare say that after the unfortunate death of Professor Bolivar Trask, I It’s the first person who can fully preside over this research, and it really makes people feel honored....Barabara."
Cyber ​​turned over two pages. This should be a research report. For the emotions and preparations of the scholars, Cyber ​​was not interested. He quickly found something really important.
"I found that in all the 237 experimental individuals in their experiments, their genes contain a part of the structure that is different from that of ordinary people, only a short paragraph, but I believe that this is what makes them different from ordinary people. It is more important. What’s more, in the genes of normal people, I also found that some of these messy and special aesthetic gene fragments are very similar, but they are not "activated."
"Professor Bolivar named it "X gene". Unfortunately, his research data has already been lost in the chaos, so we had to start from scratch. After 15 months of research, the entire large group of discussions In our opinion, whether or not this short gene fragment is activated is the decisive factor that determines whether a newborn will become a mutant, and there are two ways to activate it, the first is the activation at birth, that is, the natural mutant ."
"This kind of situation is very rare, but in my research materials, such mutants are all extremely powerful beta or alpha mutants, such as the Magneto who destroyed 11 concentration camps in Nazi Germany, Another example is the mutant leader Charles Xavier who holds goodwill to the government. It is worth mentioning that he is going to open a college in Queens, New York, to provide education for mutant children. This is a real good deed, ordinary People are afraid of this power, but we all know that mortals are stupid, and those poor children finally have a home."
After watching this passage, Cyber ​​had several names in his mind, but instead of stopping, he continued to look back.
"The second type of X gene activation is much more common, most of which are caused by severe emotional fluctuations during adolescence, which will cause the X gene to be activated, and 95% of the mutants appear in this situation, but it is undeniable Compared with the total number of people in the body that contain the X gene, the currently activated variants are definitely only a few. Don’t doubt that maybe your best friend is a potential carrier of the X gene."
"If I look at this point alone, I have to regret to conclude that the mutants are actually more like the evolutionary direction of ordinary people. Due to the incomplete statistics of the past, I can only make one guess: accompanied by Over time, the number of mutants will increase, eventually reaching a normal state. Overall, the threshold of the number of mutants should be 10%-15% of the total number of humans, which is enough to affect the progress of human social civilization digital."
"If we have enough time and energy to search through ancient legends and myths, we will not hard to find that many of the heroes in the stories and the big names who have a long history, are all mutants, such as King Arthur. Merlin who uses magic around him, such as the alchemist in the far eastern legend who drives a ship to find the elixir for the emperor, such as the giant in the Nordic mythology, etc. If this guess is true, we have to face a pessimistic fact: the mutant They have long left their traces in the history of human civilization, and they are more and more gorgeous than ordinary people."
"So, whether we are willing to admit it or not, they are our more powerful and wise compatriots, they are not monsters!"
"Later with the mutant ability classification table-1959 edition."
This research report is not long. Cyber ​​took 15 minutes to read it, and there was a document with the same name marked in the 1998 revision. Cyber ​​did not open it immediately. He needed to digest the knowledge he had just obtained.
The rigor and speculation in this article gave him a clear understanding of the group of mutants, and perhaps the last sentence left by this unknown professor, or maybe the emotions of Cyber ​​himself have calmed down Down, in short, after reading, he had a special sense of down-to-earth.
People are like this. When they realize that they may be freaks in the crowd, they will always feel the pressure, but once there are many people like him, the pressure will disappear instantly, even if he is in his life. You may not be able to see your fellow race.
But now, he has at least determined 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 bit by bit.
