Chapter 2777 Star Core Rescue (37)
Chapter 2751 Star Core Rescue (Thirty-Seven)
Jameson just walked out of the room.
Obviously, he and Mysterio parted on bad terms.
About half an hour ago, he came here as agreed, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Mysterio wearing a helmet.
Jameson had seen too many masked heroes, so he didn't care that the other party didn't show their true faces. He only cared about what kind of information the other party would reveal to him and whether this information would match some of his guesses.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mysterio. If there are no problems, let's get started now."
Jameson first asked a few common questions as usual, such as where you are from, what kind of abilities you have, what kind of dangerous incidents you have dealt with before, what kind of person you think you are, etc.
Mysterio answered a mess.
If Jameson had to use one word to evaluate this new superhero, it would be "hypocrisy".
Mysterio was obviously not sincere enough. As a sophisticated media person, Jameson could accurately feel that he was hiding something, and it was not the kind of very clever concealment, but a mouthful of lies.
It seems that he really has a problem. Jameson is sure of this. He knows too well how to deal with such a liar. After asking the usual questions, Jameson began to show his aggressiveness step by step.
He did not ask about the space station right away, but followed the mystery man's story about his origin, which is what he called the elemental power. He probably asked when the mystery man got the power, how many powers he got, and how he usually trained this power.
Through these questions, Jameson is more certain that this guy is not only a hypocritical liar, but also a stupid egomaniac.
He said that he had never experienced any training at all, and his strength was completely innate. He also said that this power has no weaknesses, no energy limit, and the output port is infinite. As long as he wants, he can do everything.
The first knife was held in Jameson's hand, and he asked: "So what do you want to do most?"
Of course, the mystery man answered, "I want to benefit the earth, make people better, and end war, poverty and chaos forever."
It sounds fine, right? Jameson thought sarcastically in his heart. If he hadn't come into contact with other superheroes through Spider-Man before, he would have believed it.
Is there such a powerful force in this world?
The answer is yes. At least Jameson has personally come into contact with one person. This person is called Scarlet Witch Wanda.
At that time, they were filming a documentary about superheroes. The documentary needed some publicity, so they invited some reporters to meet these superheroes face to face. Because they had to contact a large number of ordinary people at one time, they chose some superheroes with good tempers and more approachable people. Wanda was one of them.
Some people may think that Wanda is actually a little irritable, but in fact, that is only when facing her sister and her father. She is the most socially normal in Lansheer's family. She can even earn rent for herself by working in ordinary people's society.
Wanda is full of patience with ordinary people, and she seems to have the ability to see through the essence of human beings. She saw that Jameson and Spider-Man seemed to have some tacit understanding, so she answered a few extra questions from Jameson.
Jameson was most curious about the ability of this mutant lady, and when he learned that Wanda was almost omnipotent, he also wanted to know what Wanda would most want to do with this ability.
The answer is to create the world.
That's right, Wanda wants to create a brand new world, a world that essentially has no chaos and poverty, humans have never experienced these, and everyone living on Earth has been happy since they were born.
Then Jameson understood that in the eyes of these real superpowers, the world is too broken now, and they don't want to patch it up on this basis at all. They hope and have the ability to create a world that has never had a disaster, not just simply saving the present one.
They don't want to save the suffering, they want the suffering to never exist, they don't want to be a savior among humans, they directly regard themselves as gods.
This is unexpected, but surprisingly reasonable, because think about it, you know that creatures with such strong abilities have long known the world in a different way from ordinary people. They dare to think what ordinary people dare not think, and they can do what ordinary people can't do, so they naturally have a god's perspective.
There is no doubt that Jameson saw a kind of compassionate divinity in Wanda, and he had seen the same temperament in Professor X, and even in Magneto.
The word compassion seems to never be associated with that serious German man, but the fact is that they all have the same temperament, completely detached from the world, detached, and even slightly nihilistic and empty, all because they are too strong.
Mysterio does not have this temperament at all, and his perspective on the problem is not what a god on earth should have. Maybe some powerful superpowers will return to nature like Clark, but Mysterio obviously does not have the open-mindedness of going through so many things.
Jameson has basically confirmed his guess that this Mysterio is a fake.
Jameson believes that there is someone else who saved the space station, and this person can be temporarily called "Mysterio", but it is not the clown in front of him wearing a helmet.
After confirming his guess, Jameson was no longer merciful. He began to ask Mysterio about the details of saving the space station, such as when he found out that the elemental power was wrong, how he determined the location where the elemental people ran out, how he defeated the first monster, and how he dismantled the bomb and left with it.
Jameson's questioning method was very similar to the forms that Schiller filled out for Baker, but the difference was that Schiller's method was more gentle, but Jameson could be said to be armed and didn't give Mysterio any time to react.
The result was of course that Mysterio answered in a mess.
Jameson was not a professional agent, but he was a veteran reporter after all. He was able to open a newspaper in New York and continue to make profits to this day. He might not be able to deal with dangerous people, but he was sure to catch one when dealing with ordinary people.
Mysterio happened to be not a dangerous person. He was even worse than ordinary people. He was now an ordinary person with a bad mental state.
Since he was injured, he has not had a good rest. During the days he lived with Schiller, he not only had to fill out endless questionnaires and deal with the annoying psychologist, but Schiller also often caused various accidents, which prevented him from having a good rest.
After finally leaving there, he was arrested and had to find evidence for himself during the bail period. The huge pressure made him crazy.
The double torture of body and mind has caused him to be on the verge of collapse. Now Mysterio is a little confused.
In the second half of the interview, Mysterio basically said whatever he wanted, completely unrestrained. He was confused, but Jameson was not confused. His questions seemed to make no sense and had no complete internal logic, but they just disrupted the rhythm of Mysterio's reply, which was not much, and now it was completely incoherent.
Having got what he wanted, Jameson did not want to stay any longer, but although Mysterio was not very smart, he was still vigilant, or the huge pressure forced him to be cautious. He wanted to see Jameson's notes.
Jameson would not show it to him. To put it bluntly, he had interviewed so many big figures, but no one wanted to see his records. Even the most unreasonable politicians dared not say so, as it would interfere with the fairness of public opinion.
However, the man in front of him looked very dangerous and might have lost his mind. Jameson obviously had the wisdom to protect himself, so he handed over the notebook in his hand. It basically recorded the truth and beautified it a little, and he fooled the mysterious man so smoothly.
But what the mysterious man didn't know was that Jameson didn't need to use a pen to record it. He had been a reporter for most of his life, and he remembered every sentence he asked and every sentence the other party answered clearly.
Jameson kept summarizing today's gains in his mind. He found more and more loopholes from the mysterious man's mouth. These contradictory statements alone were enough to expose this damn liar.
Jameson walked out of the hotel where they met, followed by Mysterio. At this time, he was a little sober and felt that he still needed to say something good to the reporter, let the other party speak well of him, and more importantly, emphasize his strength and kindness to help him gain a foothold in the public opinion field.
The two of them left the hotel one after the other, but at this moment, Jameson saw a flash of light reflected on the building opposite. He turned his head and saw a huge mechanical spider lying on the roof of the building opposite, which seemed to occupy at least 10 floors.
Jameson widened his eyes and took a few steps back in horror. He immediately thought of the mechanical spider monster that blocked Mysterio in that live broadcast.
But didn’t they say that the crisis of artificial intelligence has been resolved? ! What’s going on now? !
But Mysterio behind him was very excited. In his opinion, this was Stark’s plan. The two emoticon monsters he made before did not cause effective damage to him, so he deliberately took out their most advanced technology to suppress and threaten him.
Mysterio snorted coldly. He thought, this is really a pillow when he is sleepy. He was worried that he had no chance to show his powerful strength. This time, this monster will not become an emoticon again, right?
It turned out that this time, the monster's appearance was particularly ferocious. The crawling movement was like a real spider, which scared the people on the road and made them flee in a hurry. Jameson raised his camera.
Although the mechanical spider was huge, it moved very quickly. It rushed to Mysterio in almost an instant. Mysterio flew up. Just when he was about to control the drone, he was stunned.
The signal of the drone was interrupted.
Mysterio looked at his arm in disbelief. There was a screen on it that only he could see. All the lit red dots on it turned gray, which meant that his drone was out of control.
"This is impossible!" Mysterio roared. He held back his extremely panicked mood, turned on the headset, and whispered to the other end: "Sophia! Sophia! What's wrong with my drone?!"
There was no answer from Sophia on the other end.
"Damn it! Answer me, why is my drone without signal?! Answer me!!"
"Who are you?" A strange male voice came from the other side. There seemed to be some chaos over there, and various sounds kept coming, and it seemed that there was also Sophia's shouting.
The mysterious man was completely panicked.
"Who are you? What did you do to Sophia?!"
"I am an agent of the FBI. Sofia Adela has been arrested for being involved in a transnational money laundering case. She needs to go to a designated location to cooperate with the investigation. No matter who you are, we will find you."
The mysterious guest looked as pale as death.
