482, Eddie's message
Late at night.
Goofy, who had just finished processing the system and choosing the explorer template, was drinking milk on the couch when his phone suddenly rang.
Answering the phone, it was Steve's call.
"Hey, Steve......" Goofy asked in a low voice, sitting up straight, "How's it going?" ”
Steve, on the other end of the line, gasped heavily.
"Sorry, Goofy, I failed, Ultron snatched Dr. Zhao and the Cradle of Regeneration, and he left New York ......"
Goofy was not surprised by this result, after all, Ultron's strength was too strong.
"It's okay, are you all right? Has anyone been hurt? Goofy asked with concern.
"Carl and Skye are slightly injured, Johnny and I are fine......"
Steve said depressedly,
"Ultron actually moved out of Stark's Hulktop armor to deal with us, and we couldn't break through his defenses."
Goofy was also a little surprised: "Really? Even the Hulktop armor was pulled out? ”
"Yes." "But luckily, this guy didn't mean to hurt us...... Oddly enough, Ultron has been emphasizing that everything he's doing now is at your behest, Goofy. ”
Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but sit up a little more straight.
He could almost conclude now that Ultron had been born out of his manipulation, but he didn't want to tell Steve too soon until he figured out what was going on.
"Steve, what do you think?" Goofy didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"What do I think?" Steve's tone was firm, "Goofy, of course I'll trust you, I think it's a conspiracy by Ultron to instigate us, that's all." ”
"Thank you for your trust, Steve." Gao Fei said sincerely, "I will investigate all this as soon as possible, don't worry." ”
"I believe in you." Steve said.
……
Another forty minutes passed after the phone was hung up, and Skye, who had many bruises on his body, returned home in embarrassment.
It seems that Ultron did not take any action against the Super Patrol, otherwise the Hulkarder armor would never have left a few officers with bruises.
But despite Skye's injury, Goofy arranged for her to rest and gave her a day off, and if Ultron was really designed by Goofy, then Skye was to blame for his injury.
Early the next morning.
Still asleep, Goofy is woken up by a ringing of his mobile phone.
"Hmm......"
He struggled to roll over and grab his phone, trying to see which nasty guy was disturbing his dreams.
Grabbed my phone and glanced at the screen, only to see a familiar name displayed on it.
Eddie.
Eddie Bullock.
He used to be a young reporter at the Global Daily, but now he has been promoted to editor-in-chief, and he is in charge of a very good page.
And there is no doubt that his take-off in his career is inseparable from his relationship with Goofy, because of Goofy's help, he grabbed first-hand information on many key news.
But after being promoted to editor-in-chief, Eddie no longer has to travel around to get material, and now he spends more time sitting in his office, drinking coffee and calling out new reporters and interns.
It is also for this reason that Eddie has not called Goofy in the early morning for a long time.
"Strange, Eddie has something to do with me?"
Gao Fei answered the phone in confusion, he really couldn't figure out why the dignified editor-in-chief still worked so hard.
"Hey, Eddie, it's only half past six ......in the morning," Goofy said depressedly, "Are you trying to ask me out for breakfast?" ”
"Goofy......" Eddie said in a deliberately low voice, "something is wrong." ”
"Don't be surprised, what major events haven't happened to the two of us for so many years?"
Goofy said with a smile,
"What's the big deal? Do you say it on the phone or in person? ”
"Say it on the phone, anyway, I can't get away with it......" Eddie said in a deep voice, "Our newspaper received an instruction in the early hours of this morning to expose some unknown news in the near future, and the content of these news, Gao Fei, is all related to you......"
"What?" Goofy was a little surprised, "I don't seem to have done anything lately, right?" ”
In fact, Gao Fei has done a lot of things recently, but these things have nothing to do with the public.
At this time, Eddie immediately said: "Goofy, I don't have time to explain to you, I will directly talk about the news that our newspaper needs to reveal - one is that you have secretly hidden a space-class battleship in space, and cooperated with Reed Richards of Fantastic Four to study it privately; The other is that your motive for starting the Super Academy is not pure, you are trying to train the students of the Super Academy to become your personal special forces......"
"What?" Goofy frowned.
"Eddie, you should know that I kept the Space Battleship because I stopped the invasion from the Cree and wanted to climb technology to protect the Earth, right?"
"Not to mention my motivation for starting the Super Academy, you should know how disgusted I am to turn students into murderous tools......"
Before Goofy could finish explaining, Eddie hurriedly said, "I know, I know." Goofy, I have known you since 08, I know you very well as a person, I know your every thought...... How could I doubt you? How could I misunderstand you? ”
"But the person who asked our newspaper to disclose your negative news this time obviously has ulterior motives, he, or they, want to destroy your social credibility!"
"They're going to make you a conspirator with wolf ambitions, they're going to make the masses fear you, that's their plan!"
Hearing this, Goofy took a deep breath.
He had probably guessed who was behind all this.
Because at the opening ceremony of the Super Academy before, these people have already shown their fox tails.
These people only hope that Goofy will be a little policeman to protect the city of New York, once Goofy shows behavior beyond New York, once Goofy's strength expands to a certain point, they can't wait to strangle Goofy on the spot!
What's more, space-class battleships, stubble after stubble of superpowers......
These resources are enough to change the situation of the whole world, and those people will never let them fall into the hands of Goofy!
That's when Eddie added, "By the way, Goofy, I heard that you recently went on a mission with the students of the Super Academy?" You put those kids on the battlefield? ”
Goofy admitted: "That's right, that's right. ”
Eddie whispered, "It's going to be difficult now, and now they're probably going to make a big fuss about it, saying that you've exposed your ambitions......"
"They will accuse you of raising these children to be murderous tools, and they can't wait for them to be born and die for you."
Gao Fei smiled bitterly: "But I took them to save the Nine Realms, and we prevented an apocalypse!" I'm not taking them to invade other worlds, on the contrary, we're protecting this world......"
"What's more, this matter is voluntary for them."
Eddie sighed, "I know, I've heard Harry say this. But Goofy, you know, what we do best in the media industry is wordplay, stealing concepts, and with a few minor embellishments, we can describe a just war as a brutal invasion......"
"Of course I won't, but I have a lot of colleagues in New York, and this slander against you is not just our Global Daily ......"
"I think you'll have to think about what to do in advance."
"I will, Eddie." Goofy agreed, "Thank you for the reminder." ”
"You're welcome, Goofy." Eddie said, "I'll keep you informed, take care of yourself." ”
Hanging up, Goofy sat up from bed.
He knew that the toughest battle since the crossing had quietly begun......
——————
The other side.
Secret base of the American military.
A burly female general stood up from her chair and looked at an Asian man with long hair and a green robe in front of her.
"Do you really think it's the right time to go after Goofy, our hero in New York, the savior of the world, and the icon of the people of the world?"
"Not to mention his ability to easily penetrate a battleship, he has the help of the Super Patrol, the Super Academy, and the Avengers......
"Even if our smear scheme can destroy his credibility, if we do go head-to-head, will we be his opponents?"
Facing the question of the burly female general, the Asian man with long hair and green robe smiled lightly.
"General Hale, this is the most opportune time, because every day you drag on, Goofy's strength will increase by one point...... To put it mildly, Goofy's strength is growing much faster than your military's strength, and if it drags on, all of you will have to bow down to Goofy. ”
“……”
General Hale fell silent when he heard this, and he knew that the Asian man was right.
At this moment, the Asian man walked up to General Hale, stretched out his hand full of rings, and patted Hale on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, General Hale, Goofy won't fight you to the death, he doesn't want to let the United States fall into the flames of war because of himself......"
"When his credibility declines, but he loses the support of the citizens, he will calm down from his current state of pride, and he will realize that there is no benefit to confronting the military......"
"At that time, if you take advantage of the situation, Goofy will have to follow your orders."
When General Hale heard this, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"There's a point in what you're saying."
After saying that, General Hale tilted his head to look at the black-haired, green-robed Asian man.
"However, I don't know if it's my delusion or if it's the truth, why do I think you look a little similar to Goofy?"
The Asian man laughed when he heard this, shook the ten jeweled rings on his hand and said, "This must be your delusion, General Hale, in the eyes of you Europeans and Americans, we Asians all look similar......"
"I think you Europeans and Americans are actually the same, and I think you look a little similar to Marilyn Monroe."
General Hale was amused by the Asian man's witticism.
"Hahahaha...... Oh, you're so humorous......"
The Asian man smiled lightly, but his smile was full of imperceptible depth.
