Chapter 873: Bright Stars (XVIII)
Chapter 875 Stars Glittering (XVIII)
In the Avengers' base, Matt looked at Spider-Man's face and said, "You want to investigate the military's creation of monsters? Do you think it might be related to Nick Fury's assassination?"
Peter nodded and said, "We must find out all the connections behind this to figure out what they are going to do and what they want to do, and then we can have a way to deal with it."
"For this, I must be too busy to do it alone. After all, I only have two hands. I can't deal with monsters while saving people. If I deal with monsters, I can't investigate the truth. I can't split myself into three or four people. Even if I do, it's not as good as our teamwork. After all, we all have our own strengths..."
"I have to say, Peter, you have grown a lot in the past few years. I am really surprised that you can say this." Matt stood up and began to search in his backpack. Then he said, "Remember? Before, you always thought that you could defeat all enemies and save New York with just your fists."
"I still want to defeat all enemies and save New York, but I think the method can be changed." Peter put his hands on the table, and his face became serious for the first time.
College life and various magnificent experiences have given him some mature traits, just like a sapling that has grown a woody structure. In the days to come, it will inevitably grow into a solid and strong tree.
He said: "A long time ago, I didn't understand what Dr. Schiller said to me. He said that no one is an island. They will definitely leave traces in this society..."
"All traces will form a big net. On this net, no one and nothing can escape. These are the most important things to save the world besides fists."
"At that time, I had a hunch that when I used this skill, the situation must be extremely bad, maybe like now."
Peter's fists gradually clenched, and he said: "The director of SHIELD died, the 8th-level agent Coulson died, Hill is still being hunted, the military is pressing step by step, and others are dealing with bigger waves, and I..."
"I must come up with a way to solve the hidden guns aimed at us from the root. , I can't allow them to hide in the dark and shoot cold guns when everyone is looking towards the sun and preparing to step into the sea of stars. "
"Perhaps, I have not been able to help much all along, but I must protect those who lead mankind forward. Even if my talent and strength are still not enough to leave a name in human history, mankind must seize this opportunity and make further progress in this era..."
Matt came over and patted Peter on the shoulder. Feeling his body trembling, he said, "Don't feel embarrassed, Peter, you are not fighting alone."
"Schiller is right. A big network woven by interpersonal relationships will be the key to your victory."
After speaking, Matt put down his phone and said, "I have sent messages to other members of the Avengers who I can contact. They are waiting. Come over as soon as possible. We need a combat meeting to see what conspiracy is behind this. "
After that, he gently hammered the table and said: "No matter what kind of person Nick Fury is, he is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and has made indelible contributions to the development and construction plan of the solar system. He should not die under the black gun of his own people. If such a thing has happened, the person who did it must pay the price. "
After a while, vampire hunters Eric and Eddie Brock, as well as Natasha, all came to the base of the Avengers. Natasha pressed the earphones on her ears and said: "Those mutants can't come."
After she sat down, she took a deep breath and said: "I know you are all confused. What is going on? This starts with a top-secret plan, the Red Gate Lan plan... "
As the female agent told the story, everyone present learned about this top-secret plan against mutants. Natasha continued, "Nick expressed extremely strong opposition and turned against the military for this..."
"The intelligence I received is that the military's three launch plans all failed, causing extremely heavy losses, because Nick Fury had strongly opposed it before, and they thought it was SHIELD's doing."
"So they killed Nick Fury, are they crazy?" Matt asked, "They dared to do it without evidence? !"
Natasha sighed and said, "The problem is that Coulson and I both think this matter is incredible. The military should not be so impulsive to provoke such a big conflict. This has touched the bottom line, but this makes us feel that they may have evidence. "
"You mean, it is really possible that Nick did it? "Eddie looked at Natasha and asked, Natasha also looked at him and said, "You have to know that the title of the King of Agents Nick is not undeserved. Or, do you believe me when I say that Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD, does not use any extraordinary means?"
"But even if Nick destroyed their launch plan, he is just." Peter emphasized: "The extermination plan against any race is extremely evil."
Eddie's voice suddenly dropped, and he said, "It doesn't matter whether he did it or not, the key is that the military did it."
He said in a hoarse voice, "We can't get stuck in the logical game of who started it first, but should focus on the fundamental purpose of their actions."
Eddie stood up and walked to the side of the whiteboard, writing as he said, "They wanted to deal with mutants, so they came up with a Red Gate Lan plan, and then killed Nick who wanted to hinder the plan. So there is a question, after doing all this, why did they create that red monster?"
"He wanted to use that monster to eliminate mutants." Matt said, and Eddie shook his head and said, "No, they should know very well that creating a monster that can't fly and has no group lethal means can't kill all the mutants. There are mutants."
"According to their logic, after removing Nick who hindered the Red Gate Lan plan, the next step should be to continue their plan, but they didn't do that."
"Look at what they have done. I don't know how they created a big monster, used some agents to muddy the waters within SHIELD, and there was the vampire Count Dracula who came out of nowhere. Do these have anything to do with the Red Gate Lan plan?"
Peter narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, since Nick is dead, they don't need to do these unnecessary things. Can't they just continue the plan?"
"Unless..." Matt sneered and said, "They can no longer carry out this plan. The previous failure is all they can accept."
After saying that, he looked at Natasha and said, "You have Any information about the full investment of the Red Gate Orchid Project? "
Natasha shook her head and said, "Five years ago, this plan had already entered the archives of SHIELD. At that time, we only knew that the military had a top-secret plan in progress, but we didn't know who it was targeting, and we didn't pay much attention to this plan."
"The failure of the plan can never be without cost." Peter said, "The cost of rockets is not low, especially five years ago, when three consecutive rocket launches failed, the price to be paid is likely to be unimaginable, and the measures they are taking now are to remedy it. So the question is, why do they think that continuing to target SHIELD and mutants is a remedy for this plan?"
"Because they can get more benefits from this behavior." Blade Warrior Eric said, "Although I don't know the situation of mutants, Over the years, many people have raised funds and made money in the name of fighting vampires. "
After thinking for a while, Peter said: "I think there are probably many anti-mutant organizations behind this plan. The military is just going with the flow. When the plan fails, the pressure will fall on them."
"So, they must come up with other ways to remedy the situation and make those forces believe that they can go further on the road of exterminating mutants, so that they can continue to get investment from those people."
"And this is the weakness we can exploit."
Peter looked at the words on the whiteboard, and suddenly, some clues were connected. He had an idea in his mind, and he said: "As long as those forces see the hope of exterminating mutants, they will continue to invest..."
"Anti-mutants are originally a scam. "Eddie looked at the whiteboard and said, "One person raised a slogan, stirred up the public's emotions, made them pay attention to this matter, and spent money on it. The person who raised the slogan took the money and found another person, asked him to fight against mutants, and told him that as long as he succeeded, he would give him money, so the other person also became an anti-mutantist..."
"He raised the slogan, stirred up another group of people, got their money, and used the money to invest in other anti-mutant plans. They went through a chain of links and found the military. "
"Is the military anti-mutant because they hate mutants? No, it is for the money of this group of investors, for the benefits they can provide..."
"The weakness of this scam is that they must make some achievements before they can launch a bigger scam, and the problem they are facing now is that no one has made any achievements. "
Matt snapped his fingers and said, "Just like, if you want to sell a house, you have to build a model room. If you want to sell food, you have to print a menu first. After so many years of anti-mutant resistance, mutants still live in this world with swagger. There is not even a model room. What do you want them to use to cheat money?"
Peter's eyes turned, and he said, "The so-called Red Gate Orchid Project is actually to build a model room, but why did they come up with such a plan? Isn't it simple to build a model room?"
Peter took a piece of paper and wrote a string of symbols on it, and then said, "This is the drug I invented that can eliminate all X genes. As long as you give a mutant an injection, he will no longer be a mutant. Isn't this a model room?"
The whole room was silent for two minutes. Natasha stood up first, shook hands with Peter and said, "Congratulations, the leader of global anti-mutant activists, Peter Parker, you are the light of mankind."
Eddie held the paper and said, "This is our most powerful weapon."
"Now, a famous laboratory that cannot be named has developed a drug that can completely eliminate the X gene. In just two seconds, a mutant will disappear from this world."
"If this news is announced, what will those ordinary people who have been provoked think?"
Matt continued his words: "They will definitely think, why doesn't the government quickly produce one per person, and then force all mutants in the world to inject this drug? It would be best if each person gets ten shots to ensure that they will never turn back into mutants."
"When the fanatical emotions are aroused, those who have provoked the emotions of ordinary people will also be kidnapped by this emotion. At that time, who dares to question the authenticity of this drug or ask for it to be inspected before use? If he can use it, he will definitely be besieged by these fanatics. "
"They can only go with the flow and continue to escalate this emotion, trying to reap more wealth from those ordinary people..."
"The question is, can Congress and the military do this? Let's not talk about whether they can force all mutants to get injections, can they really produce these drugs? Or, do they think it's worth it?"
"Of course not." Natasha said: "This is a lose-lose situation for both of them. Congress is to maintain stability, and the military is to make money. Doing so is completely against their fundamental interests. "
"When the two of them are put on the chariot, do you think their butcher knives will be swung at the mutants with Professor X and Magneto, or those liars who have nothing but a ring of traps?" Eddie asked.
Peter looked at the paper and said, "But the problem now is that SHIELD can't help, the military is pressing on, and Hydra and other forces are also trying to fish in troubled waters. If we are always hindered, we can't realize this plan. We have to find some help..." He paused, then said, "I have an idea."
