Chapter 371 70 Hey, You Know that the Word "Impregnable" Is Just a Flag Most of the Time, Right?
Chapter 371 70. Hey, you know that the word impregnable is a flag most of the time, right?
The Akers team's process of catching the undercover went much smoother than Captain Anna imagined, but catching the Skrulls hiding among them did not mean the end of the matter.
Emma, the White Queen, is already waiting in the next room, and the remaining members of Team Akers must submit to her psychic testing to ensure their identity.
"I think it's unnecessary."
Gambling king Remy Loeb was unhappy with this arrangement. He held his wife's slim waist and complained in a low voice:
"Hasn't that strange guy been discovered? It feels like it's too much to check our minds. Our new compatriot seems to be difficult to deal with."
"Shut up, Loeb."
Captain Anna was in a bad mood.
The truth disclosed by the old wolf and the tragic situation of the phantom cat she saw with her own eyes made her as angry as a firecracker. She slapped her husband's hands on her waist and hips away and scolded him:
"The Skrulls' disguised 'shapeshifters' are spies hiding among us, but this guy may not be the only one in Team Ax.
I have also had great trust in our fellow citizens, but Mason is right when he says that trust cannot replace vigilance.
Just go and accept Emma's mental examination honestly. I don't want to fight with you here, but if you don't behave, just let me sleep on the sofa tonight! "
"Oh, oh, don't be angry, I'm just complaining."
The helpless Gambit raised his hands and begged for mercy.
The once carefree prodigal son now looked like a grievance of a middle-aged uncle after marriage. However, after seeing the tragic situation of the phantom cat with his own eyes, he could no longer complain or complain.
Although he has not yet learned the truth about the past from his wife, the keen Gambit King can guess from the sad expression of his old friend Logan that what he wants to know today must be quite dark.
As mutants, this is almost the norm in their lives. Society is full of evil. The first rule they learn from childhood is to coexist with evil.
But Mason was not involved in the inspection process.
After giving a brief "welcome speech" and taking the time to capture the Skrulls, he left here and entered the biological laboratory.
The old wolf was a bit ruthless.
The heart-breaking injury from the steel claws was just as fatal to the Skrulls, and the second prisoner had to be placed in the biopod of Isu technology to prevent him from dying on the spot.
At this time, in the laboratory, the "Skrull Research Team" led by Mason had already begun work.
The two Elric brothers and Poison Ivy are busy with different testing projects. They took blood and biological samples from the Skrull's wounds and put them into professional instruments to explore more characteristics of this strange creature. .
Mason himself was adjusting the improved biological bait bomb that had just been activated once. He looked at the burned energy module in the shell in front of him and said to the Isu ghost Consus suspended next to him:
"It turns out this thing works against the Skrulls. That's a good start. We need to improve it immediately. Can you give me some advice? Consus."
"Wait a minute, I'm observing the genetic structure of the Skrulls."
Consus was suspended in front of the display screen of a precision instrument. The Isu biologist carefully observed some of the data that had been analyzed. After a few seconds, he said to Mason:
"Their genes are very strange, my brother. Even in the Isu era, I have never seen such an arrangement of gene chains. Their genes can be freely combined under the influence of foreign information.
It's like building blocks and plasticine.
Transforming into other living forms and acquiring abilities is only one of their talents. If necessary, they can even turn into inanimate dead objects, such as cabinets and furniture.
This talent of 'perfect simulation' has gone beyond the scope of ordinary life, and a lot of professional analysis is required to draw a correct conclusion. "
Consus thought for a moment, then made a suggestion:
“The idea of temporarily forcibly destroying their disguise by injecting genetic fragments is feasible, which proves that there is a ‘time lag’ in consciousness of the Skrulls’ ability to change.
Even though their bodies have adapted to the changing needs after a long period of evolution, they will still be forced to 'revert' to their basic form after their genetic stability is impacted.
Just like electronic products will take the action of 'restore factory settings' when encountering data corruption.
But you have to consider the issue of strength. "
Isu biologists reminded:
"The two Skrulls you captured are probably just their vanguards, but the realism of the John Constantine it simulates is already staggering. From this, it can be inferred that the strong ones among them are very concerned about this kind of evil. Talent's manipulation must be more skillful.
Your means won't always work.
You must start to strengthen your study of Isu biotechnology from now on. If you want to completely suppress the threat of the Skrulls, you must start from their own biological characteristics.
Analyze the secrets in their genes and finally get the key to destroy them.
There are very dangerous attempts in the biological technology left by Juno. In extreme cases, you only need a tank of gas to make this race disappear forever.
I do not advocate this way of using knowledge.
But considering that they have declared war on you, it is understandable that they are just protecting themselves. "
"I don't think this will always work. For a race that relies on shapeshifting and imitation to survive, it would be a bit of an underestimation if they can be contained by such means."
Mason said while replacing the energy module of the biological bait bomb in his hand:
"But before they take corresponding preventive measures, this little trick is enough for us to filter out the hidden dangers inside.
After all, the Skrulls are most destructive when they are not noticed. Once we are alert to them, their threat will be greatly reduced."
"Shua"
Just when several alchemists were busy, a black space-time rift opened directly into the laboratory, and the swordsman carrying the soul sword and holding the demon helmet ran over excitedly to catch the traitor with Mason.
But when she landed, she saw the Skrull spy who was installed in the biological cabin and had more than a dozen biological tubes for different purposes on his body.
"Am I late?"
There was no fight to fight, which made Liana curl her lips in disappointment.
Then she stepped forward and knocked on the glass cover of the biological cabin, then turned to Mason, who was using the alchemy array to continuously make the same type of biological bait bombs and pack them into boxes and said:
"I just heard that you had a Skrull disturbance here, so I knew it was a big deal, but it seems that you are ready to fight them? What are these balls for?"
"It's a recognition device."
Mason explained:
"It destroys their genetic stability to force them to show up, but I estimate that they will soon respond to this thing, so we must act quickly.
Wait a moment.
After I send this box of things to my people, we will set off for Utopia."
"Huh?"
Mason's words made the swordsman blink. She immediately understood Mason's deeper meaning and squinted her eyes and said:
"Do you think there are Skrulls lurking in Utopia?
No way, I said last time that there are three Professor X guarding there day and night. Even if they are disguised as Skrulls, they can't sneak in so brazenly.
They all declared that Utopia is impregnable.
I think so too. It is much safer than Star Castle. At least there is no need to worry about a group of thugs rushing into a room and kidnapping a weak and helpless vampire lady.
I think you are overreacting a little bit."
"Really?"
Mason pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose.
In order not to disturb the work of other alchemists, he took Liana out of the laboratory, lit a cigarette, and whispered to her:
"So is it possible that one of the three Professor X who guard the border of Utopia day and night is a Skrull in disguise? Or worse.
All three are
The pretenders of Team Ex have proved that even the Skrull pioneers can simulate the abilities of mutants. If they send a senior Skrull spy into Utopia, then it will not be a big problem to disguise as Professor X or some leaders after sufficient preparation.
I know this assumption is a bit extreme.
But you know me, I always think about the problem from the worst possible perspective."
"Hiss, you That being said, it is a bit scary. "
The swordsman made a strange tongue-twisting sound, which was her racial talent as a Maozi girl. She had realized the seriousness of the problem but was a little hesitant, and said to Mason:
"Your application for entry has not been approved yet. I can indeed take you to jump over by force, but it is estimated that it will cause a little trouble and may affect your development there.
You have to understand that the utopia under the rule of the X royal family is an authoritarian society, and there are rules for everything. "
"Then let me tell you a fact, Liana."
Mason flicked the ash of his cigarette and whispered to the swordsman:
"I don't believe that just the same blood can make two people Strangers become friends who trust each other, and all solidarity based on blood is just false solidarity.
What I believe in is experience.
It is the feeling of working together for one thing, and the friendship that has been tested by time and pressure.
For example, I believe in you because you and I have the same enemy and we are both troubled by the secret truth of the past.
We have the same demands.
But I haven't even met those people in Utopia. In this case, you still want me to consider promotion and influence in that strange society. This is a bit too idealistic.
I am indeed a mutant, but it doesn't mean I have to obey the will of the X royal family.
What's more, if my bad guess unfortunately comes true, helping them Finding out the imposters and spies hiding in the upper echelons will be enough for me to gain their recognition in an instant. "
"Emmmm, that makes sense."
The swordsman was convinced, she brushed her long hair and said:
"Then you get ready, I'll take you there."
"No hurry, the large bait bombs specially used to destroy the genetic stability of the Skrulls in an instant are still being made. That thing is a bit complicated and takes time."
Mason waved his hand and said:
"I just said that I still need to go back to 'home'. If there are Skrulls here, I think these disguised bugs in my home are probably rampant.
Arrangements must be made there too."
"Okay, I'll go to Utopia to help you get ahead."
The swordsman waved his hand and said to Mason:
"I will send a guide to take you there in a moment, and try not to waste time so that you can directly meet the Supreme Professor and the Council of X. Besides, the Phantom Cat is here with you, right?"
"Um."
Mason nodded, and then saw the swordsman grab his soul blade and swing it back to open another space-time channel. A few seconds later, a tall man wearing a black star cloak walked out of it.
Mason had to look up to see his chin.
Mason's current height is close to 190cm. In other words, the man in front of him is at least 250cm tall.
What a giant!
"Who is this?"
He looked at the swordsman in confusion, who stood next to the tall man like an exquisite blond Barbie doll. She reached out and patted the tall man's arm, making a sound of metal hitting, and said:
"This is my brother. Colossus in X-Men is also Phantom Cat's boyfriend. The two of them were originally talking about getting married. In addition, my brother drew an A-level seat before.
He is now a member of our Twelve-member Council, nicknamed 'Steel'.
He usually sits in his own base world and rarely comes out for activities. This time he took the initiative to come over after hearing the news about Katie. Please take him to meet Katie.
I'll get busy first. "
After saying that, the swordsman turned around and disappeared into his rift, leaving Mason and the steel giant in front of him in the aisle. Mason stretched out his hand to him, and the latter also stretched out his hand in response to the kindness.
But his hands were big enough to completely wrap around Mason's "little hands."
"Well, out of personal curiosity"
Mason whispered:
"From the news I know, although Colossus' body is indeed tall, it is not exaggerated to this extent. What is going on with you?"
"Same as you, Mason."
A-class member Colossus spoke angrily. His voice was like the collision of steel in a fiery fire. He explained:
"The gift from 'destiny' has allowed my abilities to evolve a second time, and the change in body shape is only the most insignificant change."
As he spoke, he took off the starry sky mask under his hood, revealing a silver-gray steel face. The key point was that his eyes were burning, like an eternal forging fire.
"I heard from my sister that the ability you got from it is fire?"
Colossus showed a steely smile. Although he was physically strong, this guy's gentle temperament did not seem to be changed. He put his hand on Mason's shoulder and patted him, saying:
"The ability I gained is steel, to be precise, the ability to manipulate steel."
"Take it easy."
Mason grinned and said:
"With your size, you can crush me to death with just a little force, but when it comes to manipulating steel, I happen to have some forging materials that I can't extract and refine.
Maybe you can help? "
"I was moved by what you did for Katie, so you can let me do the hard work."
Steelers promises:
"You are a craftsman, and I promise you will not have to worry about materials from now on. The base world I chose is an uninhabited land rich in various minerals.
Just tell me if you need it and I will deliver it to you as soon as possible. "
"This feeling is good!"
Mason grinned and didn't expect this unexpected gain.
But then when he took Colossus to see the Phantom Cat, the super big man was half-kneeling in front of the bed where Katie was sleeping. His cautious and cherished attitude as if looking at a lost treasure moved Mason extremely.
Especially when Colossus used his fingers to tidy up Katie's long hair with the gentlest force, that gesture moved Harry next to Mason to tears.
Although she also felt that the alienated Colossus could crush the Phantom Cat's skull with just a little force, but it would be impolite to complain about the fact that the two of them reunited after seventeen years of separation.
——
The master who was patrolling Gotham at night had just dealt with a group of cross-dressing thieves, and then received a message from Mason.
This made Batman frown, and he realized that Mason had made an unplanned journey through the world. Based on his knowledge of Mason, this could very well mean that a dangerous situation would occur.
So he quickly rushed to the Afterlife Bar and went straight to the top floor through the "staff passage".
When he pushed open the door of Mason's office, he saw two open arms boxes. The number of dark red biological decoy bombs placed inside was really surprising.
If he hadn't known that these bombs would not cause casualties, then the scene before him would undoubtedly be the preparation process before a terrorist attack.
But Mason wasn't the only one waiting for him in the office.
The new member of the second echelon of the Justice League, "Night Stalker" John Wick, has also been waiting here for a long time. As the old man walked into the office with his cloak raised, Mason did not waste any time.
He said to the master:
"New situation, I have a rough idea of what plan the stars will adopt for the first wave of invasion of this world, but the bad news is that I don't think there will be much time left for you to act.
And if this is not done well, the Justice League will fall apart overnight.
You have to prepare for the worst.”
