"You can call me ...... 'Chief.'"

Bruce Banner suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and looked up at the man suspiciously. The guy who came out of the darkness was not tall and wore what appeared to be a specially made yellow uniform. But he had an exaggeratedly long face, green skin, and a pair of eyes that rolled sly, and the light that came out was quite uncomfortable.

Banner was sure he didn't have an impression of the name, and he couldn't match the eerie face to anything he had ever seen. He stood up, took a few cautious steps back, and asked, "Who are you we have met?"

"Of course I do. It's just that it's not like this, and if you change the name, you might remember it a little. For example......" The eyes of the long green face flickered, "...... 'Mr. Blue'"

Banner's pupils shrank, and his voice cried out uncontrollably, "Dr. Stearns is you"

"Mr. Blue" was the nickname Samuel Stern and Banner used to communicate online. Believing that he was the one who could heal him, Banner sent Stenchulk's blood, and later went so far as to make a desperate trip to his school to find him. And the serum developed by this expert did work - for a while, but unfortunately it was not very long-lasting. It didn't take long for Banner to change back to his original form, and he still couldn't get rid of Hulk.

But that failed attempt led to a chain of even greater troubles...... Or arguably a disaster, even. This is where the loss of control of Abomination in Brooklyn began, and Banner had to force himself to recall the Hulk, who had fallen into a temporary slumber due to the effects of the serum, to defeat him.

And that incident brought another consequence, and he stood in front of him at this moment.

Banner carefully looked at his green skin and distorted face, and couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Stern, are you......?" What's going on, are you ......?"

"It's easy to foresee, isn't it," replied Samuel Stern, now the Chief, "from the moment you came to my laboratory and showed me that power, I was fascinated by its beauty. I saw the future from it, and at the same time, it was as if I saw my destiny. ”

"That's not your fate." Banner frowned and said, "Hulk shouldn't exist at all, he shouldn't belong to anyone. ”

"I don't agree with that." The Leader's mouth hooked slightly, and he chuckled, "Hulk is your destiny, Banner, what you are destined to become." And I'm ...... It's not frustrating, it seems to have a different fate than yours. You see, I recreated your accident with the help of the blood you left behind, I extracted an upgraded version of the serum, and shone myself with a large amount of gamma rays......"

"You're crazy." Banner evaluated without thinking.

The leader paused, his expression smiling rather than smiling.

You can say the same because genius is always seen as crazy by other people. If you look at it from this point of view, yes, maybe I'm really crazy. When you're exposed to gamma rays, that energy creates the Hulk. It gives you the ultimate power, and is the embodiment of pure 'power'. And I'm ...... What I represent is the ultimate wisdom. Gamma rays have given me a thousand times more intelligence, and the problems that used to trap me and puzzle me for a while seem to suddenly become so simple. Suddenly, I was in a state of flux, and it seemed that my thoughts were clearer than ever. ”

Banner looked at him with an expression of disbelief. He swallowed as he looked at the Leader's almost fanatical look as he spoke of the experience, then his gaze shifted up to his skull, which had been unexpectedly large mutated by gamma radiation.

"Good...... bar. He hesitated, "Then, Mr. Genius, take the liberty of asking a little question." It was you who took me...... Get the Hulk out of that prison?"

The head conceitedly said: "Of course. Otherwise, who else but me could hack into the system like that without leaving a trace and tamper with the data of the gamma transmitter"

Well, it seems like a lot, actually. It may sound a bit difficult, but as far as Banner knows, there are two or three people who can do it.

But he wittily decided not to mention it for now.

"But why," he frowned, "what else do you need me to do if you really already have that much brain power as you say?"

"Hey, good question." The leader folded his hands, shook his head and spun around like a big-headed little adult, and said, "Yes, I don't need you in my next plans. One of the reasons I'm letting you out is because, as a product of the same origins as me, I think you—or Hulk—are the only ones qualified to stand by my side and join me in my grand plans. The second reason is for the sake of insurance. I have the most powerful intellect, and Hulk has the most power. Together, think about what we can accomplish! ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his tone was impassioned, as if he had seen the perfect future he had described.

Sounds like just another madman who dreams of conquering the world...... Or, if not the conquest of the world, it must be some kind of plan.

"Well, I didn't hit you." Banner shrugged helplessly, "But you see, there's one biggest problem with your plan. That's the Hulk...... He's the type who doesn't fit into the team very well. He's not very good at working with people. As for me, while my opinion may not be that important, I probably won't agree with your plan either. ”

The leader smiled.

"Don't worry about this part, I've already taken care of it."

As he spoke, he pulled out a small disc-shaped remote control from behind him and pressed the button on it with his thumb.

Countless electric snakes quickly crawled up the spine along the nerve fibers, and then rushed into Banner's neck. Banner's pupils shrank, and he fell to his knees half-on. The violent electric shock stirred his nerves, and the pain quickly spread, and the hot moment turned into a fiery urge.

It was as if he heard a roar explode in his ears, as if a huge fist was smashing into his sane defenses again and again.

"What ......" Banner fell to his knees in pain, reaching for his neck, realizing that a metal object had been embedded in his neck at some point.

It was supposed to be a safety implanted in him by the military to suppress his transformation, but now it has apparently fallen under the control of the leader.

"Look, you sent me blood and asked me to help you heal the Hulk. I didn't succeed in it, but it gave me a great opportunity to research. The leader turned the remote in his hand and smiled, "I really have to thank you, Banner." Without you, there would be no me now, but even more so because of you, the most powerful creature on the planet right now...... It's under my control! ”
