20. Rescue
Early in the morning, Cyber sat in the living room of the villa, holding in his hand the records of the recent Devil Gang, which he would not have looked at before, but now he had to, and during his coma, Catherine had customized some schemes that had caused a lot of changes in his organization.
For example, in the face of unknown opponents, the power of the Devils Gang has recently shrunk in an all-round way, giving up many areas of Gotham, and for example, in the situation of mutant riots, the reconstruction of New York's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood has almost come to a standstill, and finally there are many more mutant gangs in the organization.
These changes are not good or bad, but it is certain that they will have a non-negligible impact on the direction of things in the future, especially the last one, in this very sensitive period of mutants and human confrontations, the Devils will undoubtedly send themselves to the forefront by doing so.
But Cyber could understand the reason why Catherine did this, under the circumstances, when there was no friend or foe, it was acceptable to use this method to quickly expand her power, especially since Catherine also adopted some special methods to identify the loyalty of these people, which is enough to show that the little girl actually seriously considered this matter.
"Ahem"
Cyber coughed lightly, and Erica, a red-clothed ninja with an unhappy face, appeared behind him, and Cyber put down the booklet in his hand and whispered to her:
"I remember that Shauna's kid is around right now, call her over, I have something to ask her. ”
"Hey"
Erica reached out and patted Cyber on the shoulder, leaned over in a graceful posture, and said in Cyber's ear:
"Young man, I'm not your messenger or anything. ”
"Huh"
She let out a scream, and after a while, she escaped into the shadows, and before leaving, she swiped her middle finger at Cyber, but Cyber didn't care, this kind of fighting life is actually quite pleasant, isn't it?
After Seber had finished breakfast, Shauna Belzer, dressed in a white dress, was late, and it could be seen that the girl had carefully cleaned up her appearance, and she no longer looked very eccentric before.
"Good morning, Boss Cyber!"
She nodded to Cyber very elegantly, and sat very ladylike on the sofa beside Cyber, this child was sorted out by Professor Charles a few years ago, and has been cultivated in Xavier's Talent Youth Academy for more than half a year, this child's sanity has been undoubtedly the same as that of a normal girl, if there is anything strange about it, it is the puppet that she always carries with her.
Yes, we all remember this guy, Ferdy.
Cyber glanced at the puppet, who stood up in cringe and saluted respectfully to Cyber, who snorted and ignored the increasingly bloody puppet and instead focused on Shauna.
"How was it at the London Drama School?"
Cyber asked, "Do you really plan to pursue a career in the acting industry?"
"Hmm!"
Shauna nodded vigorously: "This has been my dream since I was a child, and I plan to spend a few years in a theater in London's West End to hone my acting skills... By the way, Boss, did you have something to do with me?"
Cyber was no longer polite, and asked directly:
"As for the mutants who recently joined the gang, were you and Johnny going to test them?"
"Hmm!"
Shauna whispered, "I'm in charge of Gotham locally, and Mr. Johnny is in charge of New York, and his knowledge of souls is much stronger than mine, so most of our new members are from New York, and I heard that it's almost like a battlefield now." ”
"Hmm..."
Cyber nodded, rubbed his chin, and asked in a low voice:
"Those who have evil intentions?"
"They were all killed by Ferdy. ”
Shauna waved her hand indifferently: "Ferdy is really a villain, he brutally killed them all, but three days ago, mutants from other organizations mixed in, and after they realized that we had some way to identify them, they didn't come to die, I heard that in New York, Mr. Johnny also eliminated a lot of bad guys." ”
She stroked her beautiful burgundy nails and whispered:
"We can guarantee the purity of every mutant who joins the Order, and of course, we don't know if they can adapt to this environment. ”
"That's enough. ”
Cyber smiled: "Since you are already in the middle of the incident, running away is the stupidest way to deal with it, so I will leave these things to you... Go get busy, you can come to me if you need anything. ”
Shauna gave Cyber a very proper smile, she reached out to lift the baby-like puppet Ferdy, swayed out of the room, Erica's figure appeared behind Cyber again, she hugged her shoulders, and looked at the closed door with disdain:
"What a stunner, what's the matter? Isn't the flowery-minded Lord Cyber really tempted?"
"Come on, it's not a good thing to have too many women. ”
Ignoring Erica's taunts, Cyber picked up the booklet in his hand again and flipped through it, and asked casually:
"Are you still adjusting to life in Gotham?"
Erica stretched, leaned on the sofa with her long legs open, and said very lazily:
"It's a great place, really, especially the little ones who hang out in costumes at night..."
She licked her lips, and there was a strange glint in her eyes:
"It's funny, it's fun, but I'm more curious about the bat that is always wandering, he seems to be fighting against some kind of deep darkness, and he still has a faint kindness to the Devils, so I'm curious, is he your friend?"
"First advice from Gotham!"
Cyber shook his finger: "Don't ask about Batman, and don't try to get involved, it's very dangerous." ”
Erica was about to say something, but Catherine rushed in through the wall waving her phone, shouting as she ran:
"Cyber, a call for help from New York!"
"Huh?"
Cyber took the phone and glanced at it, it was a message from the little naughty that she was in trouble with a group of mutants, and they were intercepted by many parties when they tried to rescue Professor Charles, and they were in a bad situation and needed urgent support.
But unlike Catherine's eyebrows, Cyber frowned when he saw this text message:
"Naughty? How did she get involved in this? And to save Charles, who gave her confidence? And are you sure you want to save her?"
He put down his phone and looked at Catherine:
"If I'm not mistaken, the little naughty just abandoned us, didn't he?"
He spread his hands: "You see, in a sense, she is a traitor, you may not have forgotten how the Devils treat traitors, right? She is already very lucky to be able to leave a life, and you still asked me to save her, are you trying to make me violate the rules I set myself?"
"But... She's different, she's a friend. ”
There was a hint of hesitation on Catherine's face, she hesitated for a while, looking at Cyber's cold face, she finally gritted her teeth: "Then I'll go by myself, I'll save her in my own name, and by the way, I'll go to see Professor Charles's situation, and if the Devils Gang is not involved, it's all fine, right?"
"But with your current strength, if you participate in this kind of thing, you will die!"
Cyber's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you have to gamble your life so easily for the sake of someone who has betrayed you? Is this how my father and I taught you? Don't you know how many responsibilities you carry and how many people's hopes you carry?"
"Charles, you think the professor is our friend, do you?"
Cyber's voice was louder: "His students were involved in Dorothy's death, have you forgotten how the poor girl died? His students are dying too! They are dying at our hands! You don't even know what happened! We are now rivals!"
"The Devils and Xavier Academy, we're no longer friends!
These questions were more serious than the other, and Catherine's fists couldn't help but clench, and she tried to retort:
"But..."
"Nothing but!"
With a wave of his hand, a mixture of crimson energy flew out of his hand, binding Catherine's arms to her body, and he snorted at Erica:
"Go, lock up this little idiot with a clear mind, and let her calm down!"
"You should have your own bottom line!"
He looked at Catherine, who was disgruntled, and he said in a deep voice:
"You should let other people see the price of betraying you and staying away from you, instead of being like a true philanthropist, giving you mercy and making yourself look weak and bullied, the decision you will make the first time, if you don't get enough lessons, sooner or later there will be a second time, so what should she do if she betrays you a second time?"
"Do you still want to forgive her? What about the third time?"
Cyber took a deep breath, he looked at the phone in his hand, and reached out to delete the message as if it had never appeared:
"This time is her lesson, if she can come back alive, it will wash away her mistakes, and if she can't, then she is also paying for her mistakes. ”
"You rescued her with your own hands!"
Catherine was dragged out of the room by Erica, and she screamed, "She was the first to follow you out of Xavier Academy, and she has proven her loyalty!
"Cyber, Cyber, don't give up on her!"
Catherine's voice faded away with the grinding of her feet on the floor, and the Devil's Gang Leader's face was expressionless, and he lit a cigarette with his legs crossed, and Erica soon returned to him, and then heard Cyber whisper:
"Friendship is always very important at their age, but they don't know that they have to see someone else's friendship before giving their own friendship, and this decision may be painful for her, but we all know... Suffering, like death, is irreparable. ”
"Ding Ding Ding Ding"
As soon as Cyber's words fell, a new text message appeared on Catherine's mobile phone, he picked it up, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
It's still a little naughty one, but this time it's no longer a call for help, it's a warning:
"Catherine, don't come! there's danger! Magneto is here!"
"Hmm..."
Saiber tossed his hand aside, hesitated for a moment, and said to Erica:
"Looks like I'm going to have to go to New York. ”
The female ninja in red asked curiously:
"Why did you suddenly change sex?"
"No"
Cyber shook his head, "My opponent is there! I'd love to talk to him about these conspiracies... Really, I thought so much, I couldn't wait! I'd go and see him, meet my old friend, and stab him in the back, so that he could know how dangerous it was to be involved in a conspiracy against me. ”
"As for the little naughty..."
The leader of the Devil Gang rubbed his eyes: "It's a convenient thing, but the punishment she deserves is indispensable, I hope this incident can teach these young people with hot brains a lesson, so that they can think more about it for a few minutes when they do things in the future." ”
The red-clothed ninja snorted disdainfully:
"After all, it's not about saving you, look at the righteous look on your face, I almost believe that you are a messenger of justice, or are you going to be a superhero or something?"
"I actually prefer supercriminals to superheroes, but that's nothing, you can say whatever you like, and I'm not going to change it anyway. ”
With a flick of Cyber's fingers, the quaint sandalwood fan jumped into his hand, and his left hand waved lightly:
"Gather our warriors, and we will head for New York... March!"
