Chapter 2771 Star Core Rescue (31)
Chapter 2745 Star Core Rescue (31)
Mysterio returned to the base. As soon as he entered the door, he opened his hands and heard the cheers he expected. He became even more proud, opened his arms and walked around the room a few times, and then took off his helmet.
"What did I say?!" He roared as if to vent his anger: "Stark has always been a fool, he has always been my loser! He is a damn thief! A despicable, dirty gutter. The rat here! I’m the only one!”
After venting his anger, Mysterio breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, "Bring up the images of today's battle. I want to see how far the Stark Group has developed this technology."
Soon everyone in the team began to gather in front of the screen to watch the replay of today's battle. Sophia frowned slightly and said: "It seems that they have made a breakthrough in animation technology. The way the body of this sandstorm monster curls is more natural, almost... I can’t see any animations of the same type, so it’s not a template.”
"What's weird about this?" Baker was still a little disdainful. He said, "Stark Group's computing power is much stronger than ours. His rows and rows of expensive servers are not just for show. And they have a large number of employees who can render every action manually. It is normal for the animation to be more precise, so he pointed to this."
"But it does put pressure on us," Sophia said. "The more sophisticated the animation, the harder it is for us to debunk them."
"Why should we expose them?" Baker turned around and asked, "We just need to defeat them again and again. The more powerful and vicious they appear, the more I will look like a hero. Isn't that good?"
Sophia opened her mouth, but finally said: "I mean, it is very likely that they will also develop offensive illusions like us. Don't forget, drone technology..."
"That's enough!" Baker roared, "There's no way I can lose to him!"
He took a deep breath and stood silently. The Chinese scientist came up and patted him on the shoulder. Baker stood up, glanced at the time and said, "I will find a way. No matter what, we have an advantage now." Yes, they won’t be willing to lose to me today. There will be a big show tomorrow night.”
Baker returned to the hospital with the help of a drone. He gently opened the hospital window and was relieved to find Schiller sleeping soundly with his back to him.
He lay back on the hospital bed and slept until dawn, but it was already early in the morning when he fell asleep. He was supposed to sleep until noon, but Schiller woke him up at dawn.
Beck was in a daze and his brain was not very clear. It could be said that it was completely blank, but Schiller asked him to fill in the damn form again. Beck was afraid that he would find out what happened in the middle of the night, so he had to patiently fill out the form.
After he finished filling out the form, he saw Schiller pouring him a glass of water. He picked up the glass, but the next second he heard a pop and the glass fell to the ground.
"It's so hot!!" Baker cursed. He sat up from the bed, propped his upper body on his elbows, and shook his arms. Then he saw Schiller squatting down to pick up the pieces slowly.
"What's going on?" A tall agent pushed the door open a crack and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"It's okay." Schiller wrapped the fragments in paper and stood up. He glanced at Baker, but shook his head and said nothing.
The agent looked at Baker with an increasingly unkind look. He raised his eyebrows and said, "There will be inquiries in two hours. You'd better be honest and don't make any small moves, otherwise you will be finished."
Then he turned around and said helplessly to Schiller: "Thank you, doctor, please hold on for a few more days."
Schiller nodded to him, and the door was closed.
"Damn! Why did you pour me such hot water?!" Baker stared at Schiller with great dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you just see me pouring water out of the newly boiled kettle?" Schiller looked at Baker and said helplessly, "Why did you reach for it?"
"But if you put it there, wouldn't it..."
"In the past few days, when I reminded you to drink water, I didn't say, 'Drink some water.' I didn't say anything today just to wait for the water to cool down."
Baker looked helplessly at the ceiling, let out a long breath and lay back on the bed. The depression in his heart was indescribable. After thinking for a long time, he finally caught another loophole. He said, "Then why did you wake me up so early?" ?”
"Because SHIELD is very busy today, the agents have to come two hours early. They asked me to make sure you are awake enough. Don't I get up as early as you?"
After speaking, Schiller yawned and turned around tiredly to the preparation room. Beck always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
No one spoke, and Baker just lay on the bed. He got up too early today and started to feel sleepy as soon as he lay down. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Schiller woke him up again.
"You can't sleep, there are still questions." Schiller put an ice cube on Beck's head. Stung by the coldness, Beck suddenly woke up again, feeling that his brain was so swollen that it hurt.
"You are abusing patients!"
"I just finish the work." Schiller acted very helpless, as if facing an unreasonable child. He said: "What brought you to this situation is your refusal to cooperate. At the same time, this is what made me The main culprit who ended up here.”
"How do you want me to cooperate?!" Baker suddenly became very excited, as if he was letting out all the emotions he had been holding back for a long time. "I told you, I don't know what is going on!"
"I admit that I changed my identity to avoid the sky-high compensation, but I also relied on my own ability to pass the review for the space station position, didn't I? I also did a good job at my job, didn't I? Why do you have to Treat me like a criminal?"
"Because you are indeed a criminal." Natasha led a few agents and broke into the door.
The only fresh-faced agent among the agents took two steps forward, flashed his ID to Baker and said, "Senior FBI agent, I am arresting you on 26 charges including stealing another person's identity, endangering national aerospace security, and planning and carrying out terrorist attacks. Quentin Baker, come with us."
Baker's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, but Natasha crossed her arms and said, "Do you really think you've done your job well? So after the photovoltaic integrated device was burned, who deleted the surveillance video? of?"
Baker opened his mouth and said, "I don't know! I..."
"You are the general person in charge of the software security engineering department. After the disaster, you left your post without permission, causing the situation to worsen. Even if you were not responsible for this, you cannot escape the blame. If you cooperate with you to change your identity and sneak into the space station, you will definitely You are not wronged at all for endangering space safety."
"I'm not, but I finally found the key information. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dr. Sophia. I took them to the control room..."
But at this time, the handcuffs had been put on Baker's hands. Baker struggled wildly, but the agents didn't care about it at all. They pulled him up from the hospital bed and led him out the door.
Just as he was passing by Natasha, he saw a mocking smile on Natasha's face, and certain memory fragments flashed through Baker's mind.
He had met Natasha. When he was still working at the Stark Group, he had seen Natasha coming in and out of the laboratory, and he had even seen him and Tony Stark chatting happily.
She's a Stark! Baker thought in disbelief that the two of them were in the same group!
Yes, why did he forget that Stark is a big capitalist. He can bribe the FBI and SHIELD agents, and he can even bribe the judge and jury. As long as they insist that he has failed in their duties, he will definitely do it. Being put in jail!
No, no, there is still a way. In panic, Baker thought, although Stark is rich, he is not without capital. He is the Mysterio. As long as he can find evidence to prove his innocence before going to court for trial, Then there is hope.
Beck turned to look at his phone.
As we all know, most countries have a bail system. For non-major crimes, after being arrested, the suspect only needs to pay a certain amount of bail and indicate that he will appear in court on time, and then his personal freedom can be restored.
In the United States, if you pay enough bail, you can basically regain complete personal freedom. Many wealthy people can even travel around before appearing in court, and their activities are completely unrestricted because of the existence of this system.
In other words, before actually appearing in court for trial, Baker has one final chance to make a comeback, which is to pay enough bail and use the time on bail to find evidence to prove his innocence.
If he doesn't post bail, and with both the FBI and SHIELD watching him, it's almost impossible to get out of the hospital to carry out his great superhero career, so he will inevitably choose to bail.
Sure enough, five hours after Baker was arrested, Schiller's cell phone rang, and Colson's voice came over there, "We have some clues. Does the doctor want to come over and take a look?"
Schiller set off for SHIELD. After arriving at the office, Coulson and his subordinates were playing with the computers. When they saw Schiller coming, Coulson immediately greeted him.
"It's yours, doctor, and you really have some clues." Colson led Schiller inside and said, "The person who paid the bond for him was Dr. Sofia Adela. The two of them are colleagues, at least on the surface. ”
"But according to the information, Dr. Adela's financial situation was not enough to pay Baker's bail, judging from her income flow, but she suddenly took out a large sum of money to bail Baker out. ”
"Have you found the source of the funds?"
"This is one of the clues." Colson came to sit down in front of a computer and said: "Two hours after Baker was arrested, an amount of funds from unknown sources suddenly appeared in Dr. Adela's account. , the amount is consistent with the required bail.”
Schiller narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Colson and said, "Who gave her the money?"
"The money passed through several international accounts and we are now tracing it, but usually money like this is black money and it is difficult to find the true source."
"Boss!" Suddenly one of the agents shouted and said: "Found it!"
Colson and Schiller immediately walked over. Schiller leaned in front of the screen and discovered that the name of the place pointed to by the account's final source was "Hong Kong."
"What did you say?!" Baker looked at the agents outside in disbelief through the railing and said, "I've already paid bail, why won't you let me go?!"
"Sorry, we found another case of yours." The agent outside said, "When you were working at Stark Group, you damaged the equipment in the laboratory. For this, you need to pay 2 million US dollars in compensation. If you can't pay this part of the compensation, we can't let you go."
"Why! I have paid the bail!" Baker kept knocking on the railing and yelling outside, but the agent ignored him. After a long time, the agent said, "Don't forget, only suspects with less serious circumstances and who meet the bail conditions can be released on bail. Without a criminal record, you do meet the bail conditions, but if you are connected to your previous bad behavior, I am afraid you will not be eligible for bail."
Baker hammered the railing hard, but he knew that what the agent said was true. Generally speaking, it is difficult to bail a second time in prison, and even if you can, the bail required is very high.
The amount involved in his previous case was as high as 2 million US dollars. Even according to New York State regulations, the bail for the first time in prison should be at least 200,000 US dollars. He can't even take out 20,000 US dollars now, let alone 200,000 US dollars.
"I want to see Sophia, I want to see Sophia!" Baker shouted while grabbing the railing.
