Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Thirty-two. The guide and the story in the night

The weather in New York in early winter is very good, and even if it is extremely bad, it is much better than Gotham, which is hazy for most of the year.

When the sun shines in the room, it is 9 o'clock in the morning. In a metropolis like New York, this time means that most people have already started a new day of life. Of course, the slackers still don’t want to stay in the bed. stand up.

"Humhhhhhhh"

The knock on the door came into Saibo’s ears, his ears moved, his left hand touched under the pillow subconsciously, and he held the pistol. When the 7th knock on the door sounded, Saibo’s eyes jerked. The ground opened and yawned greatly.

After a while, he stood in the doorway in his pajamas and stepped on slippers, with his left hand on the handle and his right hand behind him.

"Who?"

"Room service, sir."

A nice female voice sounded outside the door, and Saibo raised his brows, and subconsciously looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

"Okay OK, wait a minute."

He quietly leaned against the wall and reached out to open the door. Agent May, dressed in black casual clothes and a trench coat outside, walked into the room, but the next moment, she drew out her pistol and pointed it at Saibo behind the door. , Saibo's muzzle also reached her forehead.

This welcome ceremony is not very friendly.

After the two people stood in place with big eyes and small eyes for a few seconds, Agent May put away his pistol first and glanced at Saibo, who had messy hair.

"Go wash first, we'll talk about it later."

After speaking, he ignored Saibo's muzzle and walked into the guest room like that, and sat on the chair by the window.

Cyber ​​scratched his head. He recognized Agent May, but he didn't know what the S.H.I.E.L.D. clerk was doing here. Looking at the silent black-haired beauty sitting in the house with his back to him, he finally He shrugged helplessly, stuck the pistol on his waist, and walked into the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Seber, who was freshly freshened, sat opposite Agent May. Two cups of hot tea were already placed on the table in front of them. He looked at Mei, who was wearing light makeup and looked more approachable compared to last time. , I always feel that her temperament is a bit weird, but he didn't ask too much about this topic, but said directly,

"I came to New York only for my personal business. I don't want to have too much ties to SHIELD, and I won't cause trouble, so let's talk about it. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here on behalf of SHIELD, Cyber."

Agent May put the tea in her hand aside, her pair of Jianshui Qiutong moved away from the scenery outside the window, and looked at Saibo's eyes, "Relax, it's not a warning or expulsion, but a protection, or You can think that I will be your guide for you and that little girl during this period of time in New York."

"Guide?"

Saibo tilted Erlang's legs, held up the tea, and gently sniffed the bright scent. He looked at the iceberg beauty with the same skin tone on the opposite side playfully, and curled his mouth.

"I do need a guide, but how should I say... Let's talk frankly, Agent May, I don't think your chief will send a 7th-level agent to be my guide for Catherine, even if I don’t I don’t know your internal level, but if a guy like Coulson is only at level 8, you can barely be considered a high-level person."

He put down the tea cup in his hand, leaned forward, pressed his hands on his legs, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes became very aggressive.

"Miss Mei, do you think I am a fool?"

Such aggressive eyes were of no use to Mei, and the expression on her face did not change. She reached out and took out a long slender cigarette from the pocket of the windbreaker, and Saibo reached out to light her up. After the smoke filled with a certain fragrance floated up, Mei spoke again.

"Xavier Talent Academy is one of your destinations, right?"

"Ok,

Cyber ​​leaned on the chair and spread his hands. "According to the above, Professor Charles is a kind elder. The meeting between me and him will not cause you trouble, will it?"

"Really not. Mr. Charles advocates gentle integration of mutants into human society. He has a good record of cooperation with SHIELD and is indeed trustworthy. But what you need to worry about is another part... About your compatriots, what you know Not deep enough, Cyber."

"Mutant Brotherhood?"

Saber pondered for a moment, he touched his chin and looked at Agent May.

"You mean, they are dangerous?"

"Danger?"

Mei shook her head, put the hot tea to her mouth, and dipped it lightly.

"Dangers are no longer enough to describe them. They are hidden dangers, not only threatening human society, but also threatening the already chaotic mutant society. Magneto King Eric Lanschel is proud of his blood. He is the world today. One of the most powerful mutants and the leader of the Brotherhood, he and Charles are completely two extremes."

"You mean, they will kill me? Why?"

Saibo continued to ask, this question made May hesitate, but in the end she always decided to tell the truth.

"No, they won't kill you. Eric's hatred is only concentrated on ordinary people. He calls all mutants "brothers." There are a large number of Ypsilon-class mutants in the Brotherhood of Mutants, that is, there is no threat. That kind, will the mutant brothers take the initiative to harm any mutant, regardless of his skin color, race and age."

"Ipsyron is harmless?"

Saibo's expression is a little weird, he squinted at May.

"Then I am also harmless, am I? Since they won't kill me, why should I worry about them?"

"Like you, do you think you are harmless?"

A weird smile appeared on May’s mouth. “When we first met you, Coleson suggested that Level 5 agents should not come into contact with you alone, but when you and Batman killed Lars Al. After Goul, this recommended level has become level 6. Do you know what level 6 agents mean to those mutants?"

Her question did not need to be answered by Cyber. She felt the aroma of tea and stretched out a finger.

"Level 6 agents are enough to deal with any gamma-class mutant. In fact, with the support of special weapons, they can even tie the weaker Beta-class mutants. You are indeed an Ypsilon-class. , But your lethality and harm are incomparable with other Ypsilon-class. Frankly speaking, after you enter a combat state, I will find you very difficult."

"Oh oh oh... it turned out to be just tricky."

Cyber ​​laughed, "It looks like our Agent May has his own means of hiding."

After laughing, he picked up the tea cup, glanced at Mei, and said softly,

"But you haven't answered my question, why should I worry about them?"

"They will win you over, Cyber. Once they know your true identity and what you are doing, they will try to pull you into their camp. Even Magneto himself may appear. We have to put an end to this. It happens, if you can join Professor Charles’s side, we will be happier.”

Saibo pursed his lips. This frank and overly frank answer surprised him. After a while, he raised his head, looked at May, and said every word.

"You are scared!"

"Yes, we are scared."

May admitted this indifferently. She brushed her black hair behind her ears. "What we are afraid of is a Cyber ​​Hawke who has lost all the bottom line. Once we get the resources of the Brotherhood, you will be The human world has caused great trouble, but Cyberspace, you have already seen the hidden side of this world. In that world, we are not afraid of you."

"Do you know what people's first reaction to fear is?"

Agent May let out a sigh of relief. Her eyes turned to the window. On the top floor of another building, a man in black armor and tactical sunglasses had already raised the black compound bow in his hand. Don’t doubt it, as long as he has his left hand. As soon as it is loosened, the Nali Arrow will cross a distance of 543 meters and smash through the glass next to Saibo's body, and then another arrow will pierce his head. That is Button, a level 8 agent!

May turned her head and looked at Saibo with a gentle smile on her face.

"Are you willing to take the risk? Cyber, you see, we can be friends."

Saibo's expression did not change much, there was no hostility, no goodwill, and no fear, but a few seconds later, a smile appeared on his face, he squinted his eyes and reached out to Agent May.

"Then, I will trouble you these few days, guide May, oh, yes, just so please help me check the address of the parents of a poor child. You know, I'm not familiar with New York."

So in this way, Cyber, Catherine got a very competent guide in New York. On the first day, the three of them went to many places to play, and in the evening, Agent May gave Catherine’s parents the current address to Cyber. , Also at night, in their hometown of Gotham, another piece of information was given to another person.

The newly appointed director Gordon was standing in the building of the Gotham Police Station in the middle of the night. There was a large black searchlight next to him, which was modified. When the searchlight is turned on, the sky is always clouded in Gotham. A light curtain of black bats will appear.

This was the signal he had agreed with Batman to meet. In the brightly lit Gotham, there are many such searchlights. Unless it is a caring person, there is not much doubt.

Gordon was still wearing his decent suit. He stretched out his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. In this cold winter, waiting like this at night is not a pleasant thing to do.

"call"

As if a night wind blew by, a low and hoarse voice sounded behind him,

"What can I do?"

Gordon turned his head and saw the big black bat quietly appearing on the edge of the building. He was leaning against the wall, and the eyes under his visor sparkled with reassuring determination and stubbornness.

"Uh, actually, there are actually three things."

Gordon shrugged. He seemed to have become accustomed to Batman's magical appearance. He didn't talk nonsense, and started talking about business.

"There is bad news. Last night, the Gotham Morgue was stolen..."

The newly appointed police chief pursed his lips, "But when the coroner took the inventory, he found that there was only one missing body. It was a woman. It is certain that she was also a member of the Shadow Warriors Alliance who participated in the attack on Gotham. The National Guard has just withdrawn from the city, and now it’s just restoring the order of the city, so I can’t wait to send all the people in my hand, so this matter, I beg you.

"Well, yes!"

Batman nodded. Anything related to the Shadow Warrior Alliance is not something ordinary people can intervene. Even if Gordon doesn't say it, he will actively look for clues about this matter.

"The second thing is about the narrow island. I don't know which link has the problem. In short, among the civilians who have been rescued, a considerable number of people have begun to worship you..."

Gordon looked at Batman and said solemnly, "Similar to the worship of a cult, I have to confirm in advance, you have no plans to become the "teacher", right?"

"Am I such a boring person?"

Batman spit out indifferently, "Let them go, what else?"

"The last thing is about Gotham Dock, Cyber...well, I mean, someone is forming a special gang in the Docklands under the name "Red/Devil"."

Gordon stroked his chin, "The number is small, but they are all very tricky guys. It is said that they still have enough weapons, but Cyber ​​is one of the saviors of this city, and I can’t find him now. I can't contact him, so I want to consult. Do you think it will be a threat?"

"Not currently...I will monitor them, including the red devil."

Batman took the initiative to take the task, but just when he was about to leave, Gordon took another thing from his arms and handed it to him.

Batman took it in his hand. It was a plastic bag with a dozen ordinary playing cards. He turned the face of the card over and on it was a clown with blood stains.

"The seven clown cards are exactly the same. They were found at the scene of the crime in the last 5 days. The method was very brutal, and the initial judgment was not money. Obviously, Gotham has one more serial murderer."

Gordon lowered his head and wiped his glasses with a handkerchief. His expression was a bit embarrassed, "I know this should be the duty of the police, but I am too nervous now. The Shadow Warriors Alliance broke the prison, and now it is just to arrest the prisoners. , I have a splitting headache, so if he reappears, I can only ask you!"

"Ok?"

After waiting for a few seconds, there was no response. Gordon put his glasses on his face and raised his head. There was nothing in front of him.

As it has been many times before, give him a tricky thing, and he never disappoints.
