Chapter 278: The Spear Clan
Director Magnus: "Your hair...... (pointing to the bald head) is the form still unstable?" - diverting the topic
Old man: "No, this body is already quite perfect, as long as the "body" side does not occupy too much "brain resources", this kind of thing will not happen on my side. - Regrow your hair and restore your hairstyle
Director Magnus: "The problem is that there are so many things for my father to worry about, how can he ......"
Old man: "I know that his "preemptive behavior" is all subconscious, and I don't blame him. And the only way to solve this congenital deficiency is to completely strip me from the "ontology" and make me completely independent. β
Director Magnus: "You bring this up again......" - impatient
Old man: "You picked up the topic. β
Director Magnus: "Then I tell you, my opinion has not changed at present: the relevant technology is not mature at this stage, and the risk of stripping surgery is too great!"
Old man: "In this case, I have to start from my own side and reduce the utilization rate of "brain resources" as much as possible......"
Director Magnus: "What do you want to do?"
Old man: "Let go in some inconsequential details." β
Director Magnus: "What exactly?"
Old man: "It's mainly the body hair of the exposed parts, which is too troublesome to portray one by one." - Turned back into a bald head
Director Magnus: "You can use the image of a bald head, but don't match your father's face." β
Old man: "Understood. - Change the facial features
Director Magnus: "It's Uncle Charles (Professor X) again...... Are you deliberately mad at me?"
Old man: "I don't blame me, when it comes to the bald image, the first thing that comes to mind in the subconscious of the "ontology" is him, and I use his image "brain resources" with the lowest utilization rate. β
Director Magnus: "Ugh...... Be careful not to use this image in front of your father, he will be sad to see it. - Compromise
Old man: "Understood. β
Me (voiceover): "It turns out that this bald head is a doppelganger of Magneto, no wonder he dares to teach Magneto's son." But as the mystery was revealed, my questions grew. When did Magneto have this ability? Could it be a secondary mutation? Why did Magneto get sad when he saw his doppelganger using the image of Professor X? The two of them broke up?...... Forget it, don't guess, I'd better go back and stare at the bad woman, the three of them should be out of the desert. β

In Edfu, a small town on the west bank of the Nile, three people disguised themselves as tourists and blended in
Barton: "(Two patrolmen walk by)...... We are really lucky to have been so lax. "-Rejoice
Zatana (Black Queen): "What's strange about this, the cities along the Nile have one thing in common, the tourism industry is very developed (good natural scenery, many cultural monuments), and the local police have long been accustomed to groups of "self-help tourists" like us, and they are not like some closed and backward places, because we are foreigners, we come up to investigate. β
Barton: "What about hotels and docks?
Zatanna (Black Queen): "Of course you have to check, freedom is not lawless, and there is no shortage of rules and procedures here. -- Quicken the pace and go to the front
Lei Xiaogu: "Where are you going to take us?"
Zatanna (Black Queen): "Our place to stay." β
Lei Xiaogu: "Do you have friends and relatives here?"
Zatanna (Black Queen): "Friend...... No, I've only contacted them once before, and that's due to family tradition...... Friends and relatives...... No, so many generations have passed, and my family is related to them by blood...... A little better than a stranger......" - "admire" the signboards and facades of the shops along the street
Lei Xiaogu: "Then you still take us to join them?"
Barton: "They're unreliable?"
Zatanna (Black Queen): "They belong to an ancient secret organization, and they have an alliance with my family, and they are absolutely reliable. β
Barton: "Beware of the expiration of the covenant and the disapproval of people. β
Zatanna (Black Queen): "Don't worry, this covenant is valid for a thousand years, and now only half ...... has passed" - look for the sign, the code on the faΓ§ade
Lei Xiaogu: "Wait a minute, there is an alliance with your family, an ancient secret organization in North Africa, five hundred years of history...... (lowers his voice) You can't be talking about the Spear Clan, right?"
Zatanna (Black Queen): "It is worthy of being a genius of [Shadow of Terror], and I know a lot of the black history of my own organization." "-Laughs
Lei Xiaogu: "Work needs, our main enemy back then was the [Apocalypse Monarch], and the high-level leaders of that black history organization couldn't hide it if they wanted to. β
Barton: "What are you two talking about? Can anyone explain it to me?" - confused
Zatanna (Black Queen): "Can you do it for me? β
Lei Xiaogu: "You just said that the (witchcraft) effect of the covenant is still ......"
Zatanna (Black Queen): "Don't worry about me, what you know is some black history, not the details of the covenant, you can say." β
Lei Xiaogu: "Then I'll explain briefly...... About 500 years ago, in response to a supernatural disaster, a secret organization was born. At first it had two divisions, the "Shield" located in the east and the "Spear" located in the west. The "shield" is responsible for the development of defensive technical means, and the "spear" is responsible for the development of offensive technical means......"
Zatanna (Black Queen): "(Discovery)...... Sorry, please stop for now, I found them. - Led the two to the door of a grocery store
Barton: "(pushes the door, locked)...... Business hours have passed, and people are closed. β
Zatanna (Black Queen): "But the shutter hasn't been lowered yet...... (Leaning on the glass door, looking into the store) Someone inside ......" - knocking on the door
Store manager: "(Heads down) I'm sorry, the shop is closed......" - didn't look up
Zatanna (Black Queen): "(Ancient Egyptian) I am a stranger from the West, looking for a missing companion. βUttering the joint code
Store manager (ancient Egyptian): "(Get up and walk to the door)...... Miss, are you confusing the West with the East?"
Zatanna (Black Queen): "[Ancient Egyptian] No confusion, I'm from the United States. - Take off the necklace and show your true face
Store manager (in ancient Egyptian): "(Open the door)...... I am a stranger from the East, and I am the one you are looking for. "-Respectfully welcome
Zatanna (Black Queen): "Please help us arrange a room." β
Manager: "(Blocking)...... Who are you?" - not allowed to enter
Zatanna (Black Queen): "The two of them are my companions, I can vouch for them. β
Store manager: "(180-degree turn) That's fine...... I'll prepare the room right away...... (lock the door) please come with me......"
Me (voiceover): "Five hundred years have passed, and the guarantee of a bad woman is still so good to them, what a vicious curse attached to the covenant." β
