Chapter 148: Guess (2-in-1)
The light that fell like a meteor came and went just as quickly, but in an instant, the night sky returned to its original appearance.
It's just that not long ago, the brilliant light of the down, the daylight, and the countless rays of light that seemed like the end of the world were deeply reflected in the hearts of everyone who saw them.
Countless complex emotions such as horror and panic gradually began to spread in everyone's hearts.
However, Patch did not have the time or the mood to calm the panic of the people, and after completing all the things he wanted to do, he greeted Owen, who was stunned, and returned to his own humble room inside the wizard's tower in great peace.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Patch looked out the dark window, and many things came to his mind.
"Although the history of human beings on Earth is not as short as those of those on other planets in the universe, it is not short. For such a long time, I don't believe that only the current human beings have the characteristics of the X gene, there are definitely many mutants in the long history of human beings on the earth, and I think it is likely that the number of mutants in a certain period of time is even much more than now, otherwise it is impossible for the X gene chain in the human body of these hidden mutants to be inherited. ”
But if that's the case, then why haven't the mutants in history left a single record? Could it be that not only now, but the X gene contained in the body of mutants in the long history is in a state of blockade. ”
"But in this case, it is even more unreasonable! The X gene in the mutant body is extremely powerful, and even if it is not awakened at birth, it must be able to awaken at a certain time! But now those mutants' X genes were in a state of total lockdown before, and they even needed my strength to successfully start working. Well? Wrong...... Could it be ......"
Just when Patch was full of doubts, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and a different kind of brilliance suddenly jumped in his eyes.
"Could it be that someone has been playing tricks on mutants for a long time, making it difficult for them to awaken on their own?"
Patch's blue eyes widened suddenly, his eyes kept turning as if he was guessing something, and after a long while, he nodded thoughtfully, opened his mouth and muttered softly: "This conjecture of mine seems very likely, it seems that someone wants to limit the development of mutants so they made the move to block their X gene chain, if it weren't for this, then the development of mutants on the earth now is estimated to be not much worse than the condition of those mutants in my previous life." ”
"But why would that person or those people do anything to restrict mutants?"
Thinking to himself, Patch unconsciously turned the question back to the beginning, and if he had thought in this way, the problem would have been completely unsolvable.
After a moment's thought, Patch himself seemed to have thought of this aspect, laughed to himself, and mocked himself.
"Why am I idle and thinking about this? What if someone does something to mutants, it's none of my business anyway, and even if the long-hidden mastermind finds out that the mutant awakening is related to me? I wish He had come to my door. ”
As he spoke, Patch's face suddenly changed, his eyebrows condensed slightly, and he said to himself in a deep voice: "What I should be most worried about now is how to best present this scene that I built on the Earth Stage to direct and act, and how I should continue my next plan after this scene." ”
"Without a doubt, that's the biggest problem I should think about!"
…………
While Patchy was thinking about these questions, on the other side, a sexy woman who had a beautiful encounter with Owen at the bar walked into the building of S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters on the island of the lake in a black melee combat suit.
The sexy woman seemed to be unusually eager, and as soon as she entered the door, she frowned and boarded the elevator to the director's office on the top floor of the building.
The elevator went all the way up, and after a while, it came to the top floor of the building, and when the elevator opened, the sexy woman hurriedly stepped out and walked towards an office facing the elevator.
"Knock knock ......" "Knock knock ......"
The large director's office was unusually empty, with nothing but a desk and a few chairs, and Nick Fury, with a big bald head as shiny as a light bulb, was standing alone in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling window with his hands in his hands, staring into the distance with a frown, his eyes wandering, as if he was thinking about something extremely important.
When two hurried knocks came to his ears, Nick Fury quickly came back to his senses, and then turned around to adjust his state, so that the solemn and serious expression on his face seemed slightly softened, and then shouted in the direction of the office door: "Come in!" ”
With a "squeak", the one-way glass door of the office was quickly pushed open, and a sexy woman with long brown hair in a tight combat uniform walked in quickly.
Before Nick Fury could sit down in his chair, the sexy woman walked over to the desk.
With her hands propped up on the table, the sexy woman's face looked extremely solemn and nervous, and a pair of big eyes stared at Nick Fury, who had not yet sat down.
And Nick Fury, who had keen senses, didn't see the woman's face, but he obviously felt the urgency coming from her.
As soon as he sat down, he raised his head to meet the woman's burning gaze, and after seeing her expression, Nick Fury's dark forehead couldn't help but wrinkle slightly, and he quickly asked her, "What's wrong?" Natasha, is something big happening? ”
"Sir......
The sexy woman Natasha Romanoff, the black widow of one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. ace agents, greeted Nick Fury, and hurriedly said, "I think you saw the strange light that lit up the entire sky not long ago and those rays that fell like a meteor shower, right?" ”
"Yes, but what's wrong with that?"
Nick Fury nodded slightly, looked at Natasha and asked rhetorically, "That burst of light must have been just an extremely abnormal natural phenomenon, right?" ”
"No!"
Natasha raised her head slightly, suddenly raised her voice a little louder, and quickly retorted: "Sir, this can't just be a natural phenomenon, I think it should be caused by man." ”
"Human-inflicted?"
When Natasha said this, Nick Fury couldn't help but look a little puzzled, frowned slightly and thought about it for a while, and then continued to speak: "But in my impression, it seems that no one person or an organization can make such a big move. ”
Less than two seconds after speaking, Nick Fury seemed to feel that something was missing, and hurriedly added: "Even Hydra is not the slightest possibility." ”
But as soon as he finished saying this, he was immediately refuted by the black widow Natasha.
"Nope! Sir! ”
The solemnity on Natasha's face suddenly increased a little, and she stared at Nick Fury and quickly opened her mouth and said, "There is a person who is absolutely capable of making this scene, and I think you will definitely be familiar with this person." ”
"Huh?"
After receiving Natasha's reminder, a figure suddenly appeared in Nick Fury's mind, one eye suddenly widened a little, raised his head to meet Natasha's knowing gaze, and said a person's name out loud with her.
"Patch Maivis."
Hearing Natasha say the name with him, Nick Fury couldn't help but bow his head with a gloomy face, as if he was thinking about something.
"Natasha, I'll admit that Mr. Wizard named Myvis may really be capable of making such a play, but ......"
After a long time, he looked up at Natasha again and asked, "But on what basis do you think that he must have done it?" ”
"Sir, this is actually just a guess on my part, but after my deliberation, I think my guess has a great possibility." Natasha continued to explain to Nick Fury.
"You might as well talk about your guess." Nick Fury reached out to Natasha and motioned for her to continue.
"Here's the thing, sir, didn't you give me a mission some time ago to get in touch with those men around Patch Maivis?"
"Although most of his men stayed in his wizarding tower and never came out, there was one exception, and that was the Night Knight Owen, who destroyed the earth-yellow giant on the streets of New York before, and I had many contacts with him during this time......"
Natasha slowly told Nick Fury about her contact with Owen these days, and highlighted a few slightly important things, but just as she was about to talk about it, her voice suddenly changed.
"But last night, when he and I were having a good conversation in the bar, he hurried away as if he had received some instructions, and not long after he left, the scene we saw took place, and I don't think there was anyone else who could make the Night Knight Owen so important except Patch Maivis."
"So, sir, I don't think it's just a coincidence that these two things are connected."
After listening to Black Widow Natasha's words, Nick Fury's face couldn't help but become solemn again.
"This shouldn't just be an accident, maybe it was really our wizard Mr. Patch Maivis who did it." There was a little silence before Nick Fury spoke slowly with a gloomy face.
Seeing that Nick Fury had been pondering, Natasha couldn't help but ask again, "So sir, what do you think we should do now?" ”
"How?"
However, after listening to Natasha's words, Nick Fury slowly shook his head, looked at her and opened his mouth and said, "Natasha, what do you think we can do?" ”
"Not to mention what kind of terrifying abilities Patch Maivis has, even if it is only one of his subordinates, we may not be able to deal with it, what do you think we can do to punish or warn him?"
"No matter how powerful he is, he is just a human being, and modern science and technology and all kinds of advanced weapons can't do him any harm?" Natasha asked rhetorically, frowning.
"But Natasha, you seem to have forgotten one of Patchy Maivis' most important abilities."
Hearing Natasha's words, Nick Fury couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, met her puzzled gaze, and explained to her in a loud voice: "That's teleportation, and his teleportation is not as simple as we imagined, before our attack fell on him, he probably had already moved to a corner of the earth or outer space, and ......"
As he spoke, Nick Fury's tone suddenly became a little heavier: "And from the first time Coulson and May came into contact with him, it seems that he has a space that belongs to him somewhere outside of Earth." ”
"So Natasha, do you still think our conventional methods can be useful to him?"
Looking at Nick Fury's inquiring gaze, Natasha couldn't help but purse her lips and fell silent.
"Natasha, and even if it's true that Patch Maivis did it, so what?"
Looking at the silent Natasha, Nick Fury sighed lightly and continued to speak: "We don't have the force to compete with him, and we don't have him to get real evidence or evidence of this matter, so our speculation alone has no credibility. And ......"
"While the scene that Patch Maivis did not make a while ago was really shocking, I didn't seem to see anyone hurt by it, so I ......"
After saying this last word, Nick Fury didn't continue, but closed his mouth and shook his head helplessly.
"Sir, but there are already many people panicking because of this, do we really have nothing to do with this wizard gentleman?" After a long time of pent-up emotions in her heart, Natasha finally asked again.
Nick Fury thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and replied, "I can't say that there is no way, only how we should do it." ”
"That ......"
Just as Natasha was about to ask again, Nick Fury's voice, which had just finished speaking, rang out again, instantly interrupting what she hadn't finished speaking.
"Okay......"
Nick Fury stood up suddenly, waved his hand at Natasha, and said loudly: "Natasha, you don't have to worry anymore, I will naturally think of a proper and effective way to solve this matter." ”
"You go out first, let me think about it alone." Finally, a hint of impatience grew on Nick Fury's face, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to signal Natasha to leave.
"Okay."
Natasha naturally noticed Nick Fury's expression, responded softly, and then turned away with a frown.
When Natasha opened the glass door of her office and dodged out so that Nick Fury couldn't see her, Nick Fury let out a sigh of relief, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window again.
The huge office was quiet again, but Nick Fury, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and frowning and looking extremely solemn and serious, couldn't calm down at all.
