24. California

The villa where the underground prison was hidden had been completely shattered, but it was in a bad state, the ground 150 meters above the ground was in a state of collapse and non-collapse, to put it in jargon, it was like a state of quantum entanglement, which could be completely wiped out at any time, but until that moment came, it could barely hold on.

The ball of extinguishing light left in the space below doesn't know when it will subside, or it will explode directly, engulfing everything around it, it's like a super unstable bomb, and the devil knows what the consequences will be.

But that's not Cyber's trouble anymore.

By the time he carried the unconscious Professor Charles out of the ground, the people of the Little Devil Gang had already withdrawn far away, and the three guys who had fled before, except for the unstoppable running and thick-skinned red tank that broke through the blockade by brute force, the other two guys were pressed in place.

The doppelganger James and Arc Light were very miserable, the little devils were ruthless, the two arms of the doppelganger were shrugging, and the Arc was lying on the ground with blood on his face, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the surroundings had been completely cleared, the Hydra threw down dozens of corpses and retreated in a hurry, and the war mecha that remained in place was also completely destroyed.

Cyber glanced at the wreckage, which looked like a post-war ruin, and he shook his hand to put Professor Charles on his back aside, he turned his head to look at the little naughty who bowed his head and did not speak, the latter felt the gaze that made her scalp tingle, and did not know what to say, so he could only keep his head down and not speak.

"You made a mistake and you need to be punished!"

Cyber looked around and whispered, "But now is not the time to talk about this, when this is over, you can go back to Gotham and be punished." ”

"Hmm. ”

The little naughty didn't refute, nodded obediently, and being able to say this means that Boss Cyber has accepted her again, but the Devils Gang has always been very taboo about betrayal, and it is estimated that the punishment will not be light.

"Boss, we just saw Magneto fly away with Gray Jean!"

Santals whispered behind him, "Do you want to chase?"

"Don't chase!"

Cyber waved his hand, he muttered for a few seconds, and then turned his gaze to Professor Charles: "Go back to the station first, I know where they went, they can't escape." ”

However, when the group returned to the station, Cyber found an unexpected person waiting for him there, S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 8 agent Phil Coulson was standing in front of the station door wearing sunglasses, he came alone, and he didn't seem to be afraid that the Devil Gang with guns around him would hurt him.

Seeing Cyber get out of the car, Agent Coulson stood up, gave him a friendly smile, and held out his hand to him:

"I'm glad to see you safe and sound, Mr. Cyber, and I think it's time for us to talk about cooperation. ”

Cyber looked at the hand that reached out to him, he hesitated, and finally shook it.

"Agent Coulson, thank you for everything you've done for me, you've regained my friendship, but S.H.I.E.L.D., I'll be blunt, you have serious internal problems, and I won't consider working too deeply with you until you're done solving them. ”

He said very directly: "I'm afraid that you will sell it." ”

The two of them walked into the living room, and the others saw that the boss was about to talk about something, and they all went back to their rooms, Catherine and Little Naughty carried Professor Charles to the infirmary, the old man was seriously injured, not only to bear the annihilation attack of Gray Jean head-on, but more importantly, the months of detention had damaged his body.

Coulson looked at Professor Charles, who had disappeared around the corner, touched his chin, and said to Cyber:

"It's inconvenient to leave Professor X with you, right? Why don't you leave him to us..."

"Leave it to you, and then join forces to kill me?"

Cyber snorted unceremoniously: "I killed two of his students, and I went crazy and imprisoned two, he and I are already enemies, and I don't have the habit of giving away enemies." ”

"What if we could guarantee that the professor wouldn't trouble you for at least five years?"

Coulson spread his hands, leaned forward, and said in a very sincere voice: "Nick Fury realized some of his previous mistakes, so now I am in charge of dealing with you mysterious forces, I am a pacifist, I can solve the problem peacefully, I will not use force, I will not hide it from you." ”

He muttered for a few seconds and organized the language:

"We will fight for the already extinct Xavier Talent Juvenile Academy to be completely brought under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D., the professor himself is not the kind of character who will abandon everything for the sake of hatred, I believe we can work together very well, and most importantly, if you hand him over to us, you will basically not have a chance to meet, if you don't meet, where is the hostility from?"

"Hmm... That's a good point. ”

Cyber leaned back on the sofa, rolled his eyes and glanced at him, and said mockingly: "It's better than singing, it seems that you still treat me as a fool again, everything is a fair deal, I hand over Professor Charles to you, strengthen your strength, what can I get?"

He took a box of cigars from his pocket and threw it on the table, took out one and lit it, and in the smoke he threw his legs on the table and whispered:

"You're not going to think of me as an empty glove white wolf, are you?"

Speaking of which, Coulson still didn't understand where Cyber was waiting for him to make an offer, and he stretched out a finger:

"Agent May is leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., and she will become a free man. ”

Cyber shook his hand: "I'm not a guy who hasn't seen a woman, it's not enough!"

"We can give the Devils the right to do business in the United States!"

Coulson added another weight, and Cyber's eyes didn't even lift:

"Not enough!"

Coulson gritted his teeth, and he threw out his hole cards:

"Plus the information and intelligence sharing of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D.!"

"I have Felicity, your database can come as I want, and I can go as I want. ”

Cyber was a little impatient, he reached out and knocked on the table: "Can't you say something really sincere?"

"For example?"

Coulson took a deep breath and calmed down, and he looked at Cyber, "What do you want?"

Cyber's eyes widened, he put down the cigar on his lips, and softly spat out two words:

"Gotham!"

Coulson's expression froze, he understood very well what Cyber meant by these two words, but he couldn't agree, it seemed that he couldn't even think about this issue! S.H.I.E.L.D. has many rules, but it has only one foundation: to safeguard the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the United States from being violated by any force.

Cyber wants to carve out a city from the country... This has directly pierced the bottom line of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Okay, let's not discuss that. ”

Agent Coulson shook his hand in dismay, "You didn't even think about handing the professor over to us, but you can't keep him in place, you and I both know that." ”

"That's what I need to think about. ”

Cyber snorted, he took a puff on his cigarette, and looked at Coulson: "Tell me what you mean, let me hear what you have planned." ”

"We're going to start a war with the Brotherhood in California!"

Coulson said it bluntly: "Congress made a stupid decision, drugs to treat mutants are a really good thing, but they picked the worst time to push it out, but we had to wipe their asses, and those stupid politicians were already freaked out." ”

"But unfortunately, the ill-intentioned mutant brotherhood wants to completely destroy the existing order, which is an intolerable act of war. ”

He said a lot as if he were complaining, and finally he looked up at Cyber:

"At present, the forces that have been clearly distinguished, there are the resurgent Hydra, the Ten Rings from Europe, and the Mutant Brotherhood as the main body of direct attacks, we don't know if there are other forces among them, but these three seem to be your opponents, so..."

He looked up and glanced at Cyber:

"I'm here to invite you to war!"

These two words lifted Saiber's spirits, but he soon showed a skeptical expression, and he looked at Coulson playfully:

"Why are you so sure I'm going to fight? Maybe I want to rest for a while... Maybe I'm still a very hidden... What do you mean by that word? Oh, yes, pacifists?"

"That's the funniest joke I've heard in 10 years. ”

Coulson snorted: "The last few conspiracies of Hydra are against you and the Devil Gang, I believe you have mastered their cooperation with the Hand Gang, you are a thorn in their side, the enemies of the Ten Rings Gang are all over the world, but you may not know it, you have entered their internal hunt list, and your head is worth 3,000 US dollars!"

"What?"

Cyber's eyes widened, "It's only 3,000, those bastards underestimate me too much, right?"

This sentence interrupted Coulson's long-prepared line, he rolled his eyes, and could only say very stiffly:

"I don't need to say much about the relationship between the Mutant Brotherhood and you... You see, your opponents have gathered, and if you don't take advantage of this opportunity to hunt them all down, are you going to keep them for Christmas?"

After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders and put on his sunglasses:

"The most important thing is that you will stand by the darling of the goddess of victory this time. ”

This strong self-confidence made Cyber look strange, he pointed to Coulson, and said suspiciously:

"The darling of the Goddess of Victory deserves to be: you guys, no, I remember that S.H.I.E.L.D. has lost badly every time, and to be honest, I think I despise you a little. ”

Coulson was not ashamed or angry at Cyber's straightforwardness, on the contrary, he behaved naturally, spreading his hands with a sense of confidence from within:

"We've failed a lot, but where you can't see, we've succeeded even more. ”

"An organization like ours is not afraid of failure, because we can afford to lose, Cyber, and that's why I'm willing to make peace with you, even if your Devils suddenly turn around, we have a way to deal with it... We can afford to lose, but you can't afford to lose. ”

"For us, the occasional failure may be just shame and pain, but for you, one failure means complete death. ”

Coulson shrugged:

"You see, occasional pain is not as irreparable as death, and as a potential adversary and private friend, I would like to warn you..."

The Level 8 agent's eyes blinked, and he whispered:

"Don't underestimate us, otherwise if you really fight, you will... Speaking of which, are you going to fight with me or not to go to California?"

Cyber spread his hands, "Go, why don't you go? But I'm really curious, where does your confidence come from? Even I would have a lot of headaches when facing the Mutant Brotherhood." ”

"You want to see the source of our faith? ”

Coulson reached out and pressed his ear, the headset in his ear to be exact, and he called:

"Helicarrier Command!"

"Roger!Level 8 Agent Mr. Coulson, give the order!"

Metallic voices rippled through the air around the two men, Coulson looked at Cyber, stretched out his hand to signal him not to panic, and then looked up at the sky, where there was only a cold ceiling, but his gaze seemed to see the airspace higher:

"Teleport us up!"

"Huh"

Two pillars of blue light enveloped Cyber and Coulson, and more pillars of light shrouded the other people in this villa, and in the next second, everyone in the entire villa was at a loss and dissipated with the blue light, and their bodies disappeared directly in place.

Speaking of which, I know, like Cyber, you underestimate S.H.I.E.L.D., don't you?
