The weather in New York in early winter is amazing, and even if it's terrible, it's much better than Gotham, which is overcast for most of the year.

When the sun shines into the room, it's 9 o'clock in the morning, which means that most people in a metropolis like New York have started their day, and of course, the lazy insects are still lying under the covers and don't want to get up.

"Wow"

The knock reached Cyber's ears, his ears moved, his left hand subconsciously touched under the pillow, held the pistol, and when the seventh knock sounded, Cyber's eyes opened violently and yawned widely.

A moment later, in his pajamas and slippers, he stood in the doorway, with his left hand on the handle and his right hand behind his back.

"Who?"

"Room service, sir. ”

A nice female voice sounded outside the door, Cyber's eyebrows raised, and he subconsciously looked at the clock hanging on the wall,

"Okay, okay, wait a minute. ”

He silently leaned against the wall, reached out and opened the door, Agent May, dressed in a black casual suit and a trench coat, walked into the room, but the next moment, she pulled out her pistol and pointed it at Cyber behind the door, and the muzzle of Cyber's gun was also against her forehead.

This welcome ceremony is not very friendly.

After the two men stood in place for a few seconds, Agent May put away his pistol and glanced at Cyber, whose hair was messy.

"Let's go wash up first, we'll talk about that later. ”

After speaking, he ignored Cyber's gun, and walked into the guest room and sat on the chair by the window.

Cyber scratched his head, he recognized Agent May, but he didn't know what the S.H.I.E.L.D. staff were doing here, looking at the black-haired beauty sitting in the house with his back to him, not saying a word, he finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly, stuck the pistol at his waist, and walked into the bathroom.

5 minutes later, freshly groomed Cyber sat down opposite Agent May, two cups of hot tea had been placed on the table in front of the two, he looked at Mei in front of him, who was wearing light makeup and looked more approachable compared to last time, he always felt that her temperament was a little strange, but he didn't ask too much on this topic, but said directly,

"I'm only here for my personal business, I don't want to have too much to do with S.H.I.E.L.D., and I'm not going to cause trouble, so let's talk about it, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., Cyber. ”

Agent May put the tea aside in her hand, her eyes lifted from the scenery outside the window, and she met Cyber's gaze, "Don't worry, it's not a warning or expulsion, it's a protection, or you can think that I will be your guide to that little girl during this time in New York." ”

"Wizard?"

Saibo crossed Erlang's legs, picked up the tea, and gently sniffed the eye-catching aroma, he playfully looked at the iceberg beauty opposite who was the same skin color as him, he pursed his lips,

"I do need a guide, but how to put it... Let's be honest about it, Agent May, I don't think your director would send a Level 7 agent to be my guide to Catherine and I, even if I don't know your internal ranks, but if a guy like Coulson is only level 8, you're barely at the top. ”

He put down the teacup in his hand, leaned forward, pressed his hands on his legs, his eyes narrowed, and that look became very aggressive,

"Miss Mei, do you think I look like a fool?"

This aggressive look was useless to May, and the expression on her face did not change, she reached out and took out a slender cigarette from the pocket of her trench coat, Cyber reached out and lit a fire for her, and after the first puff of smoke filled with a certain aroma floated up, May spoke again.

"Xavier's Talented Junior Academy is one of your destinations, right?"

"Well, thanks to Coulson's little gift. ”

Cyber leaned back in his chair and spread his hands, "According to what it said, Professor Charles is a kind elder, and my meeting with him won't bother you, will it?"

"Not really, Mr. Charles advocates the gentle integration of mutants into human society, he has a good track record of cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D., and he is indeed trustworthy, but there is another part you need to worry about... You don't know enough about your fellow man, Cyber. ”

"Mutant Brotherhood?"

Cyber groaned for a moment, he touched his chin and looked at Agent May,

"You mean, they're dangerous?"

"Dangerous?"

Mei shook her head, put the hot tea to her lips, and took a sip,

"Danger is not enough to describe them, they are a danger, not only to human society, but also to the already chaotic mutant society, Magneto Eric Lanschelle is proud of his bloodline, he is one of the most powerful mutants in the world today, and the leader of the Brotherhood, he and Charles are completely polar opposites. ”

"You mean, they're going to kill me? why?"

Seber continued, the question that made May hesitate for a moment, but she finally decided to tell the truth,

"No, they won't kill you, Eric's hatred is only focused on ordinary people, he calls all mutants "brothers", there are a large number of Ipsilon-class mutants in the Mutant Brotherhood, that is, the kind that is not a threat, the Mutant Brotherhood will not actively harm any mutant, regardless of his skin color, race and age. ”

"The Epsilon class is harmless?"

Cyber's expression was a little strange, and he squinted at May,

"I'm harmless, then, aren't I, and since they won't kill me, why should I worry about them?"

"Like you, do you think you're harmless?"

A strange smile tugged at the corner of May's mouth, "When we first met you, Coulson advised Level 5 agents not to contact you alone, and after you killed Lars El Gul with Batman, the level of that advice became Level 6, do you know what Level 6 agents mean to those mutants?"

Her question didn't need to be answered by Cyber, she felt the aroma of the tea and stretched out a finger,

"Level 6 agents are enough to deal with any gamma-class mutant, in fact, with the support of special weapons, they can even fight a tie with the weaker beta-class mutants, you are indeed Ipsilon, but your lethality and danger are not comparable to other Ipsilons, frankly, after you enter the combat mode, I will find you tricky. ”

"Oooo It turned out to be just tricky. ”

Cyber laughed, "Looks like our Agent May has his own way of hiding."

After laughing, he picked up the teacup, glanced at Mei, and whispered,

"But you haven't answered my question yet, why should I worry about them?"

"They're going to woo you, Cyber, and once they know who you really are and what you're doing, they're going to try to pull you into their side, even Magneto himself might show up, we have to put an end to that, and we'll be happier if you could join Professor Charles' side. ”

Cyber pursed his lips, this frank answer surprised him a little, and after a moment, he raised his head, looked at Mei, and said word by word,

"You're scared!"

"That's right, we're scared. ”

May admitted this nonchalantly, she brushed her black hair behind her ears, "What we are afraid of is a Cyber Hawk who has lost all the bottom line, once you get the resources of the Brotherhood to cooperate, you will cause great trouble to the world of ordinary people, but Cyber, you have seen the hidden side of this world under the outside, in that world, we are not afraid of you." ”

"Do you know what people's first reaction is to something they are afraid of?"

Agent May let out a sigh of relief, her gaze turned to the window, on the top floor of another building, a man in black armor and tactical sunglasses had already raised the black composite bow in his hand, don't doubt it, as soon as he let go of his left hand, the sharp arrow would cross a distance of 543 meters, smashing through the glass next to Cyber's body, and then another arrow would pierce his head, it was Barton, Level 8 Agent!

May turned her head and looked at Cyber with a gentle smile on her face.

"Are you willing to take the risk? See, Cyber, we can be friends. ”

Seber's expression didn't change much, no hostility, no kindness, no fear, but after a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face, and he squinted his eyes and extended his hand to Agent May,

"Well, I'm going to bother you these days, Guide May, oh, yes, that's right, first, please help me check the address of a poor child's parents, you know, I'm not very familiar with New York. ”

So, Cyber and Catherine had a very competent guide in New York, and on the first day the three of them went to a lot of places to play, and in the evening, Agent May gave Cyber the current address of Catherine's parents, and it was also at night, in their hometown of Gotham, that a piece of information was also given to another person.

The newly appointed chief Gordon stood in the Gotham Police Station building in the middle of the night, with a large black searchlight next to him, which had been modified, and when the searchlight was turned on, a black bat light curtain would appear in the always cloudy sky of Gotham.

This is the signal that he and Batman agreed to meet, in the brightly lit Gotham, there are many such searchlights, unless you are a caring person, there will not be too many suspicions.

Gordon was still wearing his modest suit, and he stretched out his left hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, which was not a pleasant thing to wait like this at night on this cold winter day.

"Whew"

Like a gust of night wind blowing, a low and hoarse voice sounded behind him,

"What's the matter with me?"

Gordon turned his head and saw the big black bat silently appearing at the edge of the building, leaning against the wall, his eyes shining with reassuring firmness and stubbornness beneath his visor.

"Well, actually, there are actually three things. ”

Gordon shrugged his shoulders, he seemed to be used to Batman's elusive appearance, and he didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to business.

"The bad news is that last night, the Gotham morgue was burglarized..."

The newly appointed police chief pursed his lips, "But when the coroner counted in the end, he found that only one body was missing, it was a woman, it is certain, she is also a member of the Shadow Warrior Alliance that participated in the attack on Gotham, the National Guard has just withdrawn from the city, and now it is just to restore order in the city, so I can't wait to send all the people in my hands out, so this matter, please leave it to you." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Batman nodded, anything related to the Shadow Warrior Alliance is not something that ordinary people can interfere with, even if Gordon doesn't say it, he will take the initiative to find clues about this matter.

"The second thing is about the narrow island, I don't know what went wrong, anyway, among the civilians who were rescued, a considerable number of people began to worship you..."

Gordon looked at Batman and said solemnly, "It's similar to cult-like worship, I have to make sure in advance, you don't plan to become a "sect leader", do you?"

"Do I look like such a boring person?"

Batman spat out a sentence indifferently, "Let them go, what else?"

"The last thing is about Gotham Docks, Cyber... Well, I mean, someone is forming a special gang in the docklands under the name of "red/devil". ”

Gordon rubbed his chin, "There are few people, but they are all tricky guys, and it is said that they still have plenty of weapons, but Cyber is also one of the saviors of the city, and I can't find him right now, and I can't contact him, so I want to ask, do you think it will be a threat?"

"Not at the moment... I'll monitor them, including the Red Devil. ”

Batman took the task on his own initiative, but just as he was about to leave, Gordon took something else out of his arms and handed it to him.

Batman took it in his hand, and it was a plastic bag containing a dozen ordinary playing cards, which he flipped over to reveal a bloodstained clown.

"7 clown cards, exactly the same, this is what we found at the scene of the crime in the last 5 days, the means are very brutal, and the preliminary judgment is not money, it is clear that Gotham has another serial murderer. ”

Gordon lowered his head and wiped his glasses with a handkerchief, his expression was a little embarrassed, "I know this should be the duty of the police, but I'm too tight on the manpower right now, the Shadow Warrior Alliance has broken the prison, and now just arresting those prisoners gives me a headache, so, if he shows up again, I can only ask you!"

"Huh?"

After waiting for a few seconds without an answer, Gordon put his glasses on his face, looked up, and in front of him... Nothing.

Like many times before, a tricky matter was handed over to him, and he never disappointed.
