Chapter 262: Finishing Touches
Schmidt just died. Death is not glorious at all, not at all like a big villain. It is even said that he died very aggrieved, and there is no difference between the death of those small miscellaneous soldiers under him, of course, there is still a little difference. The difference is that he died a little more miserably.
Looking at Schmidt's corpse, Li Jie couldn't help but think of Schmidt's previous boss, that is, the head of the Third Reich, the mustache. When he finally came to his end, he didn't seem to be much better off than Schmidt now.
On his birthday, his men built the jewel in the Nazi crown, Eagle Castle, an outstanding building in the Alpine mountains. But because the mustache is afraid of heights, he has never personally gone up to this mansion in his life.
When Berlin was about to fall, the Führer, who had once dominated the world and made the whole world submit to his obscenity for a while, was helpless like an ordinary person in a mid-life crisis.
He raised his pistol in the cold wind and killed himself by swallowing it. And his body was not in a coffin, but was haphazardly stuffed into an empty ammunition box by his men. (Don't expect to find a coffin that fits the moustache at that time.) )
And that's not all, the mustachioed Führer's last words were to be buried, but his men didn't seem to have time to dig a pit for him.
They poured gasoline on the ammunition box containing the mustache's corpse and lit a fire. All ambitions, all desires, all everything!
Is it aggrieved that such a man of the hour is dying? Hydra leader Red Skull Schmidt seems to have copied the exact same routine as his previous boss, Mustache.
Life may be beautiful, but the end of life is undignified.
The intruders on his territory barely careless as they crossed his corpse and rummaged through his final habitat. They don't show the slightest respect for the greatest villain in this world.
Respect your opponents? well, maybe. But this is also a good way to divide people. Li Jie didn't feel the need for much respect for Schmidt. He didn't show any heart-wrenching charm, anyway, Li Jie didn't think they saw it.
If you die, you can die well. In the future, as long as there is no trouble. So what Li Jie and the others still need to do now is to thoroughly search this base to ensure that nothing is missing.
Even Schmidt's clones were lined up to see if they could match the number of petri dishes in the house. After all, if you let go of such a replicant, then maybe there will be some problems in the future.
These things are all handed over to Tony's reconnaissance microrobot, as well as Magneto's electromagnetic investigation, plus Professor Charles's brainwave scanning investigation, this time it must be foolproof.
And this also needs to be shown for Katie's show later. They also need to show what they did in front of the people of the globe: exterminate Hydra. It may also need to be used as a main venue, so the finishing touches are very, very complicated.
However, Li Jie didn't have time to participate in the finishing work this time, and these things could only be entrusted to several other bigwigs of the Illuminati. Because Li Jie has more important things to do, and that is to meet with the leader of the Inhuman race, Black Bolt.
This time, Katie's mutant founding incident caused a stir on Earth, and I believe that Black Bolt King must have heard about it. What kind of attitude will they have? This is something to be tested.
In addition, there is also the incident of counterfeit drug king drugging hundreds of millions of people around the world, which also needs to be resolved through specific negotiation (of course, this matter cannot be directly dragged out). After all, this incident may shake the foundation of the entire Inhuman race, because Inhumans also have various reasons why they cannot rely on their own population to reproduce.
"You've actually done enough. Professor Charles said to Li Jie, who was standing in front of him, "You have done enough and are good enough. These fantastic plans are brilliantly conceived, and we'll take care of the rest. Actually, I think you should take a break. ”
"I've rested enough for the New Year, so much that I'm a little bored. Li Jie remembered the boring time at Osborne Manor on New Year's Day. I want to rest when I have something to do, and I feel bored when I have nothing to do.
Maybe he is really a cheap bone? Li Jie was a little reluctant to admit this.
"Actually, I'd like to say that you should probably take the time to meet Katie, she misses you a little bit. Charles looked at Li Jie and said this seriously.
Li Jie had a bad premonition: "Wait, what do you mean by that, professor?"
The professor spread his hands, "You're smart, you should know what that means, right? Actually, you've always had a good relationship with Katie." Whether it's Nightkin or Jason Lee, I remember walking side by side with Xavier when you first came to Xavier School for the Gifted and Gifted, and Katie holding your arm. I remember that you never broke off your contact, didn't you give her a gift at Christmas? When I went to look for her, I saw that the tweed coat you bought her was very beautiful, and it was very suitable for her figure. Katie says she loves it. ”
"Stop, stop~!" Li Jie immediately made a gesture for the professor to stop: "Please don't take the painting style of Katie and me, okay? I have a girlfriend now, and she's beautiful too, and I love it too. Saying these misleading words will make me have a conflict with her, and it would be bad if it caused domestic violence, right?"
Charles looked at Li Jie and said lightly: "Is it because you are worried that you will be abused if you can't win Lan?"
Li Jie: ...... "Did you use mind reading?!"
Professor Charles shrugged: "I mean Katie needs someone to support her right now." She has done many, many things in the last year, which is beyond everything that an eighteen-year-old girl should do. Although she is strong, there are limits to people. There are things that need to be shared, or shared. She has a great relationship with you, better than anyone else, in fact. ”
"She did so many things that Marx and I couldn't do, and I'm ashamed of that. So I can only ask you to do me a favor now. Even as a friend, Katie can find someone to talk to and let her spit out the things that are pressing down on her heart. Charles said what he meant: "Just take it as if I pleaded with you." ”
Li Jie was a little confused: "Okay, I need to sum up this matter." But seriously, Professor, why do you think Katie is the only one who needs to be found to state her grievances? She's eighteen, but she's only nineteen! It seems a little unfair to you. ”
Charles said lightly: "Didn't you dump all your dissatisfaction on others?"
Li Jie: .................. "Okay, change the subject. I'll go first, and I'll leave it to you here. As for the rest, I'll leave it to a later date. ”
Professor Charles nodded, "Okay." ”
……………………
The final touches on Hydra are well underway, and everything is moving in a good direction...... Is it?
At least that's how it seems. But deep at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, an all-metal airtight chamber lay quietly, silently without sending any message, and Schmidt had given the key to open Pandora's box, but no one had found it.
Who's going to open it, and even whether it's going to set off a new wave? It's all unknown.
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean look calm, but underneath there are dark currents, and one undercurrent can tear everything to pieces.
