Chapter 402: Traps and Lairs
New York, John Pizza Manhattan Branch, back door
White youth: "Damn, there's a riot in the city center and you're urging me to come to work...... The store manager is not a fucking human. - Cursing in a low voice as he pushed the door open and entered the pizzeria, unaware
βBANG!β --The white youth triggers the hidden mechanism in the store and is knocked unconscious by the flying frying pan
Leonardo: "......" - Emerges from his hiding place and steps forward to check the "results"
Raphael: "How?"
Leonardo: "It's a clerk again. - Finding the keys to the staff's locker (several previously seized)
Donatello: "Well, the trap has to be rearranged...... (Recycling the pan) when is this a head? -- Bitter and bitter
Leonardo: "(Moving the white youth into a cold storage with no power and placing it with the rest of the clerk...... Judging by the size of this pizzeria, it's about the same?" - asked the "expert" for his opinion
Michelangelo: "Hmm. 1 restaurant manager, 2 pastry chefs, 2 side dishes, 3 to 4 waiters...... That's all there should be. - Give an affirmative answer
Raphael: "Why hasn't the enemy come yet!" - irritation
Not far from the pizzeria, on the fifth floor of an office building
Ghost Cricket (belly): "(Standing by the window with his hands down, looking down on the pizzeria)...... Sixth. -- Calculation
The big black man: "Lord [Ghost Cricket], what you ordered is ready." "--Rushed to report
Ghost Cricket: "Okay, go down and inform everyone, and then start hunting with the name of 'fireworks'." β
Black man: "......" - neither response nor action
Ghost Cricket: "Stone?" - Strange
Hard Rock (big black man): "It's just a few remnants of rebellion, I'll rush in and slaughter them, why ......"
Ghost Cricket: "Don't underestimate the enemy, that group of traitors once sealed the 'Divine Beast' (Ancestor Demon 'Beast'), and their disciples ......" - cautious
Hard Stone: "But use 'Fire Attack' ......"
Ghost Cricket: "Have you hunted?" - interrupted again
Hard Rock: "Hit." β
Ghost Cricket: "Then how do you deal with the prey that hides in the nest (cave) and resists?"
Hard Stone: "Smoke, fire, flooding, in short, find a way to drive the prey out of the hole." β
Ghost Cricket: "Yes, it is foolish to rush into the lair of the beasts, and they must be forced out and not fought on their territory." β
Hard Rock: "But this is New York, in the city, not in the suburbs. -- Admonishment, for fear of making things too big and making it difficult to end them afterwards
Oni Cricket: "So that's what you're worried about...... You don't have to, today is a special day, and you can't take care of it. - Appeased
Hard Rock: "But ......" - Worried
Ghost Cricket: "Needless to say, I've made up my mind." --Straighten your face
Hard Rock: "Yes. "-Stand down and do as you please
At this moment, in the online world, [Mu] (Norman Osborne) relies on the advantages of artificial intelligence to "conquer cities" and "fight to raise wars", constantly expanding and strengthening himself
New Jersey, Jersey Beach Private Nursing Home, 3 basement floors, computer room
Will Custer (belly slander): "It's amazing, it 'captured' 85.53% of the world's civilian Internet in 41 minutes and 27 seconds...... (frightened by the astonishing expression of his 'masterpiece') If it goes on like this, it is estimated that in another minute or two, the whole ...... (Anomaly found) Huh?" - The progress bar showing "Capture Completion" suddenly stopped moving, and it had been growing faster every second
Will Custer: "[Oyster]?"βEagerly, for fear that [Oyster] would have a failure that he could not handle ([Oyster] is now far beyond the original design structure and scope)
Muslim (audio): "What's the matter, Will?"
Will Custer: "Why did you stop?"
Mu (audio): "I found something interesting. β
Will Custer: "What's that? β
Mu (audio): "A special barrier. β
Will Custer: "Advanced Firewall?"
Mu (audio): "No, it's more pliable than a firewall. β
Will Custer: "Flexible?"
Mu (audio): "Yes, it's 'flexible', and I didn't use the wrong adjective. β
Will Custer: "[η]?" - unbelief, suspecting that [Oy's] ability to express himself is impaired
(Audio): "The security check found no anomalies. β
Mu (audio): "I said, I'm not abnormal. β
Will Custer: "Then why do you use 'flexibility'?"
Mu (audio): "Because the existing vocabulary cannot describe it, unless a new word zΓ o is coined, "flexible" is closest to its state. β
Will Custer: "Coining a new word that you classify as a new scientific discovery?"
Mu (audio): "No, it was artificially created, so it's certainly not a new scientific discovery, and it's not known because it's been hidden. β
Will Custer: "Who has the technology and resources to do so in the relatively open civilian Internet...... (Suddenly a spirit) is not good!"
Will Custer: "Don't touch it!" - immediately stopped
Mu (audio): "It's late, Will, it's so charming, I've turned it on." β
Will Custer: "Huh?"
Mu (audio): "Interesting, behind the barrier is an entrance to a virtual world. β
Will Custer: "[Oyster], don't!"
After 0.00000001 seconds, in the unknown forest (virtual world)
Mu: "(Looking at his own old body)...... Have you been forcibly restored to human form?" - "Born" in the image of [Norman Osborn] (old age)
Oy: "(Recall a decent image) ......" - automatic dressing
Mu (belly): "There is no limit to ability. - The eye was drawn to a European-style castle
"This virtual world is based on a fairy tale?" - Walking towards the castle
Inside the castle
γMuγAfter searching for more, I finally found something in the bedroom on the top floor: the quilt on the bed was slightly undulating (breathing), and someone was sleeping with his head covered on the bed
Mu (belly): "It turned out to be a sleeping beauty...... (Lifting the quilt) man?" -- a big bald head came out of the bed
Bald youth: "Hmm~~......" - not happy, grabbing the quilt (and wanting to continue sleeping), like a baby
Mu: "Don't sleep, wake up, wake up." He dragged the bald man out of bed
Bald youth: "Ah~~ (yawning), who are you?" - sleepy-eyed
Mu: "I want to ask you the same question, who are you?" - posing as an elderly person educating children
Bald youth: "My name is Charles Francis Xavier, you can call me Charles." β
Me (voiceover): "Professor X!"
