Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

"Ding Dong"

The door to the logistics office of the Port of Gotham City was opened. Dr. Ethan hummed a song and walked into this office full of documents and various data parameters. He almost died in Afghanistan before. The middle-aged man in the desert has already subsided, but after two years of relaxing days, his mental state looks much better.

At least it's no longer the kind of sickness and cynicism that it used to be, and he can't wait to explode on the spot.

He sat happily on his desk, while eating hot dogs he bought on the street, he spread out the complicated design drawings in his hands, put on glasses with extremely high multiples, and picked up a pencil to write and draw. Soon I was immersed in this simple happiness.

Ethan Locke Martini, an expert in experimental physics, cryptography and data science with Italian ancestry, has 3 PhD degrees in his body, and he is one of the most knowledgeable people in Gotham, like People like him should be located in a certain laboratory, rather than being a manager in the logistics department of the port area.

However, the lack of talents in the Devil Gang cannot be concealed. Especially for highly educated talents, they tend to hold multiple jobs. Even the veteran of the Devil Gang, Professor Hawkins, also made a guest appearance as a guild president in the port area. There is no alternative.

"I said, Old Ethan, you haven't given me the picture of the sewer renovation at Pier 14 that I wanted last week!"

An angry, but clothed, middle-aged man pushed aside Dr. Ethan’s office, unceremoniously tossing aside the experimental reports on the chair opposite the desk, and sat on it angrily with his hands. There was a thermos cup in her, and the cup was slamming on the table.

"How many times is this? I will complain to you if you continue like this!"

Facing the angry middle-aged man, Dr. Ethan was not angry or afraid. He just shrugged, bit off the last bite of the hot dog, rolled his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, and said with a smile:

"An Xin! Ben, your temper is too anxious. I said I will give it to you today and I will be able to do it today."

He pushed his eyes, threw the plastic bag in his hand into the trash can, tossed over in the huge locker behind him, and finally found a drawing, took it out, spread it out, and put it on the table. 'S pencil drew and casually said:

"By the way, yesterday I saw you take your nephew out of Gotham by boat. That's really a handsome guy."

"You said Peter."

The manager touched his mellow belly and looked at the fast-completed transformation drawing before him. He snorted and his expression softened, especially when he talked about his proud nephew. Was opened:

"Peter came to Professor Hawkins’ laboratory for an internship. Unfortunately, he hasn’t graduated yet, otherwise he would be able to stay in Gotham. Let him live in New York alone. His aunt and I are not very relieved, but recently It seems that he has grown a little over the past few months, which is somewhat gratifying."

Yes, this manager is Ben Parker, the uncle of "Little Spider" Peter Parker. He is now the logistics manager of the Gotham Port Authority. He is much better than that bad position. He is worried about the future of his nephew. Came to Gotham, but later accidentally discovered that the living environment here is far from the bad news reported.

Of course, this is an area under the control of the Devil Gang, which is very safe, but once you enter other areas, it will be a little troublesome, but generally no one will rob or hurt people in the port area. Everyone knows that it is The official status of the Devil Gang, once it moves, something will happen.

"I heard Professor Hawkins say that your nephew is a real genius."

Dr. Ethan's fingers slid quickly on the drawing, and his words didn't seem to affect his work at all. He chattered:

"Hawkins thinks that Peter may be recruited by other laboratories. I heard that he has been pestering the boss recently and sent an invitation letter to Peter in advance. I rarely see Hawkins attaching so much importance to a young man. You know, that old guy is arrogant, stubborn, and stubborn."

As he said, Dr. Ethan was a little excited. He waved his arms and complained to his friend:

"I submitted 4 applications to him. As a result, my laboratory has not approved it yet. Look around. I have 3 Ph.Ds. But now I can only stay in the office and study my quantum experiments. It's a mess."

"boom"

The pencil in his hand was thrown aside. He reached out and picked up the drawing on the table, handed it to Ben Parker, and shrugged unkindly at him:

"Done, here! The best design you can find on the East Coast. For it, I think you should at least invite me to "Black Cat and Gun" tonight for a drink. I heard they have a new batch of cocktails that are very good. Coming."

"Drinking can be done anytime"

Ben picked up the drawing and looked at it. He is considered an old builder. At a glance, he can see that the drawing is indeed perfect. However, after rolling up the drawing, he looked around and lowered his voice:

"Ethan, do you think it's weird that the board of directors suddenly wants to repair Pier 14? I heard that the place has been abandoned for several years, and many people in this place regard it as an ominous place."

After speaking, Ben seemed to think that this sentence was a bit wrong, so he added: "Uh, what I mean is, if you want to renovate, why not repair it with the dock facilities, but only repair one sewer, and this sewer Isn’t the length and width too big?"

Ethan stopped taking up the pencil. He raised his head and looked at his new friend. He pushed his eyes, and a strange light flashed in his eyes:

"I said, Ben, you haven't forgotten the non-disclosure agreement you signed on the first day of employment. Think about the things stored in the warehouse at Pier 13. Anyway, just keep these questions in your heart. Don't ask everywhere. We just go to work and get paid, and the most important thing is: don't cause trouble for yourself."

Ben Parker's expression was dull, he rubbed his forehead and nodded:

"Okay, I know that I will transfer some old people in the quayside to do things, thank you for your reminder, Ethan, at the bar tonight, I will invite you to drink."

The manager opened the door and walked out. Ethan smiled and started his work again. Within 5 minutes, the office door was pushed open again. Ethan raised his head and saw one he had never seen before. The young man, standing at the door, said to him indifferently:

"Ethan Locke Martini, Cyber ​​Hawke is looking for you in his villa."

After saying these endless words, the young man turned and left. Ethan was shocked, and then quickly grabbed his clothes, adjusted his awful appearance in front of the full-length mirror of the office, and opened the door. Walked down the garage.

Ten minutes later, some fidgeting Ethan appeared in the living room of Saber’s villa. Frankly speaking, Ethan’s memory of Saber still lingered on the plane that flew out of Afghanistan. He looked fierce and vicious, especially that. Eyes can move the soul.

Although he was studying a very materialistic science, after experiencing the pain that the soul would have to be ignited, his fear of Cyber ​​really came from the heart.

Opposite Ethan, who was fidgeting, Saibo slowly put down the newspaper in his hand. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and put the newspaper aside. He looked at Ethan, who was a little nervous, and smiled:

"Why? Did you have a bad time here? I don't remember that I restricted your freedom, and a few months ago, you took over your wife and children from your hometown, didn't you?"

Cyber ​​took out a box of exquisite cigars from his pocket and gave it to Ethan. Amidst the clouds and fog, he leaned back on the sofa very lazily and said to the silent Ethan:

"Don’t worry, I’m not the one who will intimidate you to do bad things. Starting tomorrow, in the Ursend block, you will have your own experimental physics laboratory, which Stark Industries will provide you every year. At least 3000 research funding, and this laboratory is supervised by you, and you recruit the staff. You can study what you like, and I don’t care about the results of your research."

When he said this, he paused and looked up at Ethan: "Tony's uncle ruined the first half of your life, so we now compensate you for the second half of your life. Do you have nothing to say?"

Ethan has been stunned. As a greasy middle-aged man over 40, he has experienced too many things, from being stolen by the experimental results, to being caught by the Ten Commandments, forcing them to work, and then to the nine deaths in Afghanistan. In the end, it was Gotham's peaceful life. He thought that his next life would be like this, and there would be no more waves.

To be honest, he didn't hate this kind of peace, especially after experiencing life and death, he enjoyed the feeling of being with his family now, but suddenly, Cyber ​​threw out such a bait.

Ethan knows very well that once this bait is eaten, there is no turning back. Cyber ​​is not the mysterious Mandalin, the Devil Gang is not the Ten Commandments, and this is not the chaotic Middle East. In Gotham, Cyber ​​wants someone’s. Fate, then it is absolutely impossible for him to live to see the sun the next day.

But he was more intelligent than the Ten Commandments. He knew exactly what Ethan really wanted. He gave a temptation that Ethan could never refuse. It was something that every qualified scientist wanted to get, from the mainstream of society. Recognition and the honor you deserve.

"Guru"

Ethan's throat moved. He reached out and picked up one side of the tea, took a big sip, then took a cigar fiercely. The greasy middle-aged man rubbed his nose, and finally irritated his tie. Pulling it off, he looked at Cyber, and he whispered:

"Then what should I pay?"

"This one!"

Cyber ​​calmly watched Ethan's struggle. His final decision did not exceed Cyber's expectations. With a flick of his left hand, it was a black one with complicated marks on the surface, like a metal scroll. Appearing in the palm of his hand, he put it on the table and pushed it to Ethan:

"You are the best cryptography expert I can find. This is your first task, and it can be regarded as an exchange for everything I give you."

Cyber ​​pressed his fingers on the black scroll, he raised his head and looked at Ethan, and said in a serious tone:

"I want something in it, unscathed!"

Ethan did not answer, he just reached out and held the scroll in his hand, looked around in great detail, and then frowned:

"This is a special physical encryption method, 128 key combinations, and finally analyzed the answer of 4 symbols. Frankly speaking, this is the first time I have seen this kind of thing, but I can give it a try."

Cyber ​​shook his head:

"If you want to do it, do it! Without trying this option, I can only say that if you fail, I will be very upset."

He rubbed his chin, his eyes flashed red:

"You don't want to see me irritated, do you?"

Dr. Ethan hesitated, he silently took a sip of the cigar in his hand, and finally, he nodded and looked at Cyber:

"I need a lot of professional equipment and my laboratory."

Cyber ​​nodded:

"Tomorrow morning you will get everything you want, and then you will give me everything I want, right?"

"I'm doing it, I mean, I can do it!"

Ethan put the black steel scroll in the box prepared by Cyber, held it in his hand, and left the villa under the guidance of Sergey. Cyber ​​rubbed his forehead, sat on the sofa, and looked down at the newspaper. The above content is meaningless, he is concerned about another matter.

There are a lot of interesting information in Lady Viper’s soul. From it, Cyber ​​saw the original reason why Hydra attacked the Devil Gang. It was not because of other things. It was precisely this scroll. This Cyber ​​was brought out from Stryker’s dam base. Scrolls.

To be honest, this thing was forgotten by Cyber ​​for a long time, but now Hydra wants to get it at all-out wars. This is what made Cyber ​​interest. Yuriko who brought the scroll back only said that this scroll is related to Siberia. There is a connection to a mysterious place in, and she can't figure out what is hidden in this scroll.

So Cyber ​​doesn’t know what kind of harvest this scroll will bring to him in the end.

Given the more troublesome situation now, he desperately needs good news.
