12. Royal Hound

The recent situation in Mexico is quite stable, after the leader of Gotham was lost in another world, it is very rare that this battlefield can maintain this stability, and several forces that were originally eyeing it have also quieted down, and there is no way to do it if it is not quiet... For 10 days, all the evil guys hiding in Mexico were deported, and nothing was missed.

Now in the eyes of the countries, Mexico controlled by mutants has become a country shrouded in fog, and the reconnaissance satellites see a cold picture, and they have no way of knowing what is happening in that land, even the best agents can only return with hatred in the face of Professor Charles's mental power scan covering the whole of Mexico.

Of course, in order to do this, the professor himself also needs the help of the brainwave enhancement machine, and the problem is that when the professor joined Cyber's side, even the students who brought him ran over, and the items they carried included the brainwave enhancement machine, which is unique in the world.

This is a tragedy for other forces.

Today, though, Mexico City welcomed a special group of guests.

"Buzz"

The teleportation array arranged in the large stadium was dusty, and in the eyes of those who could see the fluctuations of magic power, a golden aura fell from the sky, like a miracle, and landed accurately on the teleportation array that had been activated.

Strange waved his hand, blowing away the dust around him, and then made a "please" gesture to the crowd behind him:

"Welcome to Earth, Lady Crystal, and Mr. Karnak, and this... Yes, Mr. Dog. ”

Behind him, Karnek in an inhuman-style robe strode out of the teleportation array, the big dog tetanus behaved no different from an ordinary dog, he did not have chains, he walked forward very obediently with Karnek, on top of the big dog's head, sat Miss Crystal who changed into a classical era earth-style dress, she brushed the golden broken hair on the top of her head, and looked at the surroundings curiously.

In the end, it was Agent Skye, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, smelling the air of the earth made people feel more or less at ease, and at least no longer worried about being forced to stay in the oppressive Inhuman city of Attillan, which made people want to go crazy.

"Oh, the earth was such a desolate land. ”

Seeing the desolate Gobi around her, Crystal said with some disappointment: "I still want to see the beautiful forest and nature." ”

"Don't make a fuss, Crystal. ”

Skye said softly: "This is just the Gobi near the Mexican military camp, this place does not represent the earth, you want to see the forest, I will take you to Canada another day, the scenery in the snow over there is very beautiful." ”

"Huh, is that so? So when are we going to Canada?"

Crystal's eyes widened suddenly, although she was born into an aristocratic family of Inhumans and possessed great power herself, this girl was very simple-minded, and in Skye's eyes, she was like an overprotected baby.

But think about it, Crystal is a new generation born after Attilan migrated to the moon, she grew up in Attillan, even if there is a storage of information about the earth, but looking at the photos and seeing it with your own eyes are completely two different concepts, so chatting with Crystal along the way, Skye will feel that this strange little princess is quite pitiful.

If she was allowed to grow up in that environment, she would go absolutely crazy.

"Well, at least we'll have to wait until Maximus is caught. ”

Skye snorted, her eyes searched in front of her, and soon she saw Coulson standing in front of the stadium, wearing sunglasses and a suit, her expression became ugly, obviously, she didn't like Coulson, especially when they first met, Coulson's madness and evil made it difficult for her to let down her guard against him.

Although she had heard Coulson's story from Black Widow, the guys who signed the demon contract would be more or less mentally abnormal, which could also be seen from these high-level Devil Gang in Mexico, their emotions were very outgoing, and there were very few completely gloomy guys, which was the result of being affected by demonic powers.

"This is Mr. Phil Coulson, the representative of the Devils. ”

Strange explained to Karnak behind him, "For the next period of time, he will be fully responsible for cooperating with you in the capture of Maximus and the recovery of the Terrigan Crystal. ”

Karnak nodded, his eyes fixed on Coulson in front of him, the instinct from the Inhuman told him that the human in front of him was dangerous, Strange turned to Coulson who was looking at Karnak and said:

"Coulson, this is the Inhuman royal chief of the royal chamberlain, Karnek, and a member of the royal family. ”

He accentuated his tone: "I'm not involved in your cooperation, but it's best not to get into trouble." ”

Obviously, this is a warning in disguise, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s ability to do things Strange knows better than anyone else, and the Inhuman society is a closed caste civilization, and when S.H.I.E.L.D. is in dire need of help, who knows what kind of chaos these agents who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic...

Coulson glanced at Strange and nodded at him, "Don't worry, mage, I don't have anything to do with S.H.I.E.L.D. anymore... I'm just a guide, well, at least initially, just a guide. ”

"Wait, mage. ”

Just as Strange was about to leave, Karnak asked, "Isn't Kama Taj not involved this time?"

"We're going to focus on the more dangerous things, friend. ”

Strange didn't have a good impression of the Inhumans, and after Mage Mordo left first, Doctor Strange's tone was very decent, but completely businesslike, the golden portal opened behind him, and he said without looking back:

"Hydra's biggest opponent used to be S.H.I.E.L.D., but now it's the Devil's Stick, so it's perfect to ask them to help you, and the Black Bolt King has assured us that you'll solve the internal conflicts on your own, won't you?"

"Buzz"

The vibration of the space represented the departure of the mage, and Karnak did not speak with a gloomy face, but Coulson was the first to break the silence, he turned slightly sideways and made a "please" gesture:

"Then come with me, Inhuman guest, let's go visit the High Governor of this place, and then we'll start catching rats. ”

"Hmm"

Karnak nodded coldly, and followed Coulson into the military vehicle that came from behind, Crystal and Skye sat in the car behind, and the big dog Tetanus did not ride in the car, it has a special teleportation ability, which can teleport to the place where Karneke is in an instant.

Coulson looked at the big dog in the rearview mirror and asked in a low voice:

"Do you need me to arrange a tow truck for this particular Mr. Dog? He walks around like this, it scares the average person here. ”

"No, you don't!"

Karnak sat in the back seat, his eyes closed: "We are not here on vacation on Earth, Tetanus will go to meet with our other two compatriots first, and after waiting for the courtesy visit to be over, we will immediately go into battle, and the sooner these troubles are resolved, the better." ”

"The other two compatriots?"

Coulson snorted: "It seems that the methods of the Inhumans are really extraordinary, and they actually hid from Doctor Strange." ”

"Believe me, Master Strange is just a young man who is just starting out on this trip, and compared to his difficult predecessors, he is already very easy to deal with with someone like him who almost completely portrays his inner thoughts on his face. ”

The chief of the Inhuman guard narrowed his eyes and stared at Coulson: "For example, those dangerous guys who call friends on the surface but have some conspiracy behind the scenes, I hate dealing with them the most. ”

Coulson was a high-level agent before joining the Devil Gang, and he didn't care about this kind of faint accusation, to be honest, this attitude was much better than completely ignoring it, at least he was willing to communicate, wasn't it?

"The current rulers here are mutants, a race similar to the Inhumans, and they're planning to establish a state, but there's been a little going on lately, so there's no need to worry about wasting too much time. ”

Coulson shifted the conversation to the other side, smoking a cigar as he watched the gradually colorful scenery along the way, and handed one to Karnek, who did not refuse, and enjoyed it skillfully, apparently in the Inhuman city-state.

"Mutants? We've heard of them, but haven't dealt with them. ”

Karnak whispered: "They are a group of nomads in modern society, they do not have their own civilization, but they want to integrate into human society, I remember that when Attilan was still on Earth, there was a madman mutant who called himself a mutant god, he called... Apocalypse, an undead, oh, that was a long time ago, so, the current mutants, are they ruled by the apocalypse?"

"No, your old acquaintance died 45 years ago. ”

Coulson replied, "Killed in the Middle East by the mutant rebel army led by Professor Charles and Mr. Eric, the nominal supreme commander here is now one of the leaders of the year, Professor Charles, that is a wise man, and you will meet soon." ”

"Apocalypse is dead?"

Karnaike paused for a moment: "Will a mutant as powerful as him also die?"

"Of course, there is no eternal life in this world, and the gods will die, let alone the apocalypse. ”

Coulson exhaled a puff of smoke, he looked at Karnak from the rearview mirror, especially the forehead that was narrower than normal, and the special tattoo on that forehead, he was silent for a moment, and then asked:

"You seem to be very unfamiliar with the development of civilization on Earth, and you are deliberately drawing boundaries with human beings, why?"

"It's simple. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Karneke's mouth: "These are two races, why do we have to be linked, we are older and greater than human civilization, in the history of Inhumans, we have never wanted to return to human civilization, we are different from mutants." ”

"Oh, what an unexpected pride. ”

Coulson snorted, "But the Terrigan Crystal can turn humans into Inhumans, isn't that proof that Inhumans and humans have a common ancestor?"

"That's an upgrade, Mr. Coulson. ”

Karnak said solemnly: "Please don't confuse promotion with ordinary, not all ordinary people are qualified to awaken to become inhuman, this ritual itself shows that inhumans are more civilized and advanced than humans!"

"It's a lot like Magneto's Eric rhetoric..."

Coulson no longer argued with Karnak on this issue, it was difficult for a person who believed in a certain will to change his mind, but Coulson did not miss the opportunity to taunt, his eyes flashed with a bad light, and he turned his head to look at Karnak:

"Guess where Magneto, who thinks the same way as you, is now?"

While Coulson and Carnek were sarcastically arrogating each other, in the car behind them, Skye and Crystal were talking happily, and Crystal was like a curious baby, staring intently at the scenery outside the window, and would be very surprised to see a tree, a child on the side of the road, and a gorgeous billboard in the city.

"I've only seen scenes like this on the slide... It's very vivid and interesting to look at. ”

Crystal turned to Skye and said:

"Your world is interesting, Skye, can you take me around your world when we capture Maximus?"

Skye smiled and replied in a low voice:

"Of course, the Earth always welcomes friends, oh, here we are... I'm going to see Professor Charles first, and speaking of which, the Cyber you've been asking me about... This is his territory. ”

"Oh?"

Crystal's eyes widened, she was always curious about the first earthling she came into contact with, and she asked, "Does he mean this city?"

"No!"

Skye shook his head, "This city, and all the lands you can see, belongs to Cyber Hawke, and he will most likely establish the world's first mutant nation, in your parlance, he will become a mutant... Well, the king. ”
