Chapter Sixty-Eight: Conversation in the New Osborne Building

The place where Frank meets Chris is in his office in the New Osborne Building.

Yes, with the arrival of the new year, the new Oshk company building has been completed and put into use.

The new Osborne Building, with a height of 404 meters above the ground, is nearly 70 meters higher than the Stark Building not far away, and is taller than the surrounding buildings.

Of course, everyone will only think that this is just Chris's personal hobby, and will not really think that this building is a spaceship, after all, there are more buildings in the world that look like spaceships, and they still care about this one?

However, no one would have thought that this strange-looking building was really a spaceship, and it was also a Behemoth-class strategic cruiser with a length of more than 500 meters, in addition to more than 400 meters on the ground, there were also more than 100 meters, as a foundation, buried deep in the ground.

The idea of building the new Osben building into a battleship started out as Chris's brainstorm.

But on closer thought, Chris found the idea to be entirely feasible.

In the interstellar world, because of the extreme sophistication of anti-gravity systems, it is already common for buildings, especially military buildings, to take off and migrate into space, and what Chris has to do is no different from that.

The only thing to be aware of is confidentiality.

However, this is not a difficult task, when the construction plan of the new building was announced, Chris directly announced that he would build the new Osben building into a model of a space battleship......

That's right, it's a model, even if it's made of unheard-of superalloy, but it's a space battleship with an empty shell, no power, and no armament, what else can it be if it's not a model?

It's like someone uses the same metal to make a suit that looks exactly like Iron Man, but there is no artificial intelligence program like Jarvis, no Ark reactor, no all kinds of advanced technology on the steel suit, no matter how good the appearance is, no matter how advanced the materials used, it is just a high-end model, not a real steel suit.

And to prove that the building is really just a model, the entire construction process, which is semi-open, allows the news media to shoot and visit.

At the same time, Chris also said that the reason for this situation is that he hopes that Osben can rush out of the earth and fly into space like a real space battleship......

Therefore, people who see this building will only sigh, rich people really know how to play, or secretly curse Chris in their hearts for being a loser, no one will really think that this big guy will be able to fly.

As a result, a monster-class space battleship appeared in the center of Manhattan in such a grand manner.

With the completion of the main building, the engineering team began to leave, and the whole building was closed and the interior decoration began, and this will not be open to the public, after all, Oscom is a military enterprise, there is a little secret, it is too normal, so no one will find it strange.

However, in this process, under the control of the human adjutant, a large number of SCV engineering robots turned this empty shell into a real warship at a very fast speed.

I really don't know what kind of expression the people of New York City will have when this battleship really flies into the sky one day.

With the complete completion of the building (battleship), Chris also moved some projects of the underground base here, unlike the old building with many loopholes, the new building is completely 24 hours a day without dead ends under the supervision of the adjutant, and the defense measures inside and outside are not afraid of any invasion at all.

Even if you really encounter an irresistible force, you can play self-destruct and take the whole of Manhattan to the sky, guaranteeing that no evidence will be left.

And Chris's new office is located on the bridge of this battleship.

"Frank, long time no see" In the office, Chris beckoned Frank to sit down, and then without waiting for him to speak, he put the spaghetti information in front of him, "I deeply regret what happened to you, although I sent someone to support as soon as I got the news, but I'm sorry, it's still a step late." I also know you have a lot of questions, check it out! All the answers are here."

Frank Custer picked up the document with some hesitation and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became.

This information is nothing else, it is some information that Chris has asked people to gather about the Cente family, and why they attacked him and his family.

However, this is not the reason for Frank's face to change drastically, as an undercover agent, he caused the death of the son of the patriarch of the Cente family, and the other party sought revenge on him, which was not surprising to him, what really surprised him was that there was another name that appeared on this document.

The owner of this name is none other than Frank's immediate boss at the FBI, and he is also the friend who recruited him into the FBI.

According to the information, Frank's boss has some unclear relationship with the Cente family.

"No, it can't be," Frank muttered after reading the information.

"I know it's a little hard to believe to you, but I don't think I need to lie about it," Chris shrugged, and what he said was true, and he found out that Frank's boss had a relationship with the Cente family, which he hadn't expected, but thinking about it, it seemed to be expected.

Because Frank's identity as an undercover agent is dead in the official records, and his true identity is confidential.

And there were several Russian gangsters alive at that time, and it was indeed very strange that the Cente family did not suspect those people, but locked on to Frank at a very fast speed.

But if Frank's boss is involved, it all makes sense.

"Mr. Osborne, it must not be easy to gather this information, right? I don't understand, what the hell is there about me that deserves your attention" Frank calmed down, put the information in his hand aside, and put it aside for a moment, leaving it alone for a moment, and turned to Chris to ask another question that he was also interested in.

"Talent, you have an extraordinary talent in you," Chris replied, and then explained to Frank the existence of the ghost.

"According to you, this kind of power called ghost energy should be very powerful and peculiar, why don't I feel it at all" After listening to Chris's explanation, Frank was very skeptical, because Chris's related ghost energy characteristics had never appeared in him.

"It's normal, just like human genes, there are recessive and explicit, and the ghost energy in your body is recessive, and it needs to be activated to really show up," Chris explained, "and in this world, only I can activate this power in you."

It is true that human beings have the talent of ghost energy, which is themselves one in ten thousand, and the vast majority of people with ghost talent are actually hidden, and they need to be searchers who also have ghost talent to discover their talent, and then after acquired stimulation, as well as exercise and training, it can be truly reflected.

This is true both Alice (Alesia) before and Frank now.

And the overt ghost energy as gifted as Kerrigan and Nova can be said to be one in ten thousand.

"What price do I have to pay," Frank asked calmly, according to Chris, this power is very powerful, and he doesn't think Chris will really be so kind to give him this kind power.

"Work for me, of course, in order to ensure your loyalty, I will activate the ghost energy for you, and at the same time implant a gadget in your head to ensure that you will not betray" Chris said bluntly "Don't worry, it will only make you more loyal, and it will not change your memory and thinking"

With Frank, Chris hopes that the other party will voluntarily agree to implant a ghost regulator.

In the interstellar world, there are two ways to control other people, namely ghost energy regulators and brainwashing.

The ghost energy regulator, also known as the subconscious controller, can suppress the ghost energy of the implanted person to a certain extent, prevent the ghost energy from running wild, and at the same time, it can instill loyalty to the implanter in the subconscious.

To put it bluntly, the ghost energy regulator is actually a kind of hypnotism, which can instill the idea of loyalty, but it does not affect the thinking and judgment of the implanter.

During the time of the Tyranid Federation in the interstellar world, the federal government used this method to control ghost agents.

What Chris implanted into Jill is a ghost energy regulator, of course, Jill herself has no ghost talent, so it's just a simple subconscious control.

But obviously, this method is flawed, as long as the spectral regulator is surgically removed, it is useless.

Therefore, after the fall of the Federation, the newly established Tyranid Empire adopted another way of control, that is, brainwashing, that is, like Hydra did to Bucky, completely washing away the ghost's past memories and instilling the idea of loyalty to the empire.

And when Chris was controlling Alesia, it was brainwashing and regulators at the same time.

But this control method is not without problems, that is, the stronger the willpower of the brainwashed, the stronger the resistance, Chris dared to do this on Alesia, completely because Alesia because of the factors of the living environment since childhood, his own will is extremely weak, and there is a subconscious idea of escapism, so Chris just coaxed a little, and easily gained her trust, and then successfully brainwashed her without any resistance.

And in the interstellar world, Nova was also willing, so she was successfully brainwashed, if she was replaced by Kerrigan...... That's just impossible.

And it's the same with Frank now.

Who is Frank? O Punisher, one of the strongest-willed men in the Marvel world.

If such a person is not willing, he will be forcibly brainwashed, and he may be out of control at any time, and then in turn he will retaliate madly.

Chris wouldn't do such a thankless task.

But if the other party is willing, it's different......

So Chris was very open and honest, and he felt that the possibility of Frank volunteering was very high.

Because Frank has one of his biggest weaknesses, and that is his family.

And after implanting the ghost energy regulator in Frank, as long as Chris can protect the safety of his family and give them a good and safe living environment, with Frank's character, even if the ghost energy regulator loses its effect, there is no need to worry that he will go too far to deal with Chris.

When Chris said that he would implant something in his head, Frank's first reaction was to refuse, but Chris's next words made him hesitate.

"Of course, you can refuse, anyway, I'm just wasting a little bit of time and money, it's nothing to me, but you'd better imagine your wife and son and father, I know you're not afraid of the revenge of the Cente family, and you even have the ability to kill them all to avenge the death of your loved ones, but can you guarantee the safety of your family in the process?" Chris's words pierced Frank's heart.

Frank was silent, but his clenched fists illustrated his inner struggle.

Will he be able to keep his family safe? If before the attack, Frank might have boasted that he could protect his family, but now ......

Seeing Frank's struggle, the corners of Chris's mouth flashed a hint of curvature, and this was the effect he wanted.

In fact, Chris could have saved all of Frank's family, but Chris deliberately made people a little bit late.

Only in this way will Frank taste the pain of losing his loved ones and realize his weaknesses, but he will not be allowed to lose his relatives completely and become the unscrupulous punisher.

Of course, Chris would never say such a thing.

"I agree ......"

Hearing this answer, Chris smiled with satisfaction.
