When Rumlow walked down from the third floor with a black box, he saw the silent Cyber and Coulson leisurely drinking watermelon juice, this kind of scene he had already seen was not strange, but every mission that Coulson appeared on would basically end up like this.

As Cyber said, Coulson is a very good "persuasion" person, and Coulson did not deceive Cyber, just a narrow island incident, it is really impossible to get a level 8 agent, a level 7 agent and he, the commander of the rapid reaction agent unit, to go out together.

This time, they had another mission, just passing by Gotham, and then getting orders from the director, Nick Fury, to deal with the trouble caused by Cyber.

Although Rumlow also thinks that Cyber is a dangerous person, for S.H.I.E.L.D., which is as huge as Mount Olympus, the mysterious appearance of Cyber in Gotham is just a dispensable little guy, and the things he does may be terrible for the city, but for them, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Coulson turned his head to look at Rumlow and the box in his hand, the latter nodded at him, Coulson understood, he turned his head, drank the last mouthful of watermelon juice through a straw, stood up, tidied up his clothes, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered,

"7 days ago, the killers of the Shadow Warrior Alliance hijacked a cargo ship equipped with special equipment off the coast of the Atlantic, and they will arrive in Gotham in the next few days, the equipment was made by Wayne Industries Europe for the U.S. Army's desert operation plan, be careful, Cyber, for the sake of our conversation, I give you a piece of advice, for those crazy people, don't be merciful, this sentence can also be relayed to the "hero" next to you. ”

He took a small box from the Iceberg agent behind him and placed it beside Cyber,

"Here is a little "little gift" from me personally, Klein once killed nearly 100 people with drugs in Eastern Europe, you killed him, comforted those dead souls, you did the right thing. ”

After saying that, he picked up the sunglasses on his chest, put them on his eyes, and walked out of the old gun bar with his two companions, and soon, a roar of the engine sounded, and then slowly faded again.

In the glossy black SUV, Rumlow was in charge of driving, Coulson and Agent Melinda May sat in the back seat, the female agent who didn't say a word had a black box in her hand, her fingers rubbed on the box for a moment, turned her head to look at Coulson, and asked in a hoarse voice,

"You seem to value him, Coulson, it's not like you. ”

"No, no, no, personal preference is not the basis for what we do, May. ”

Coulson took off his sunglasses, let out a long breath, and looked out the window at the lights of Gotham Pier, "This city, it's special, it used to be a symbol of the rapid development of the American economy, but some people have already called it the "crime capital", look outside the window these people, May, we should have protected them, but our strength is insufficient, what can they do in the face of the violence that happens around them?"

"Ordinary people can't protect themselves even if they have a gun, and just a Batman isn't enough to make it more stable, I don't value him, but he's mysterious, isn't he? In this city where we're weak, it's good to have someone who has good intentions for us, especially if he's a mutant... You've watched him for so long, May, do you think he's trustworthy?"

"How can someone like him be trusted? I could feel threatened when I stood in front of him. ”

Agent May shook his head, took out a file from the box in the car door next to him, opened it, and inside was a personal information, the unclear photo was the same as Cyber who rescued Robin that night, Rachel was right, that surveillance video, many people have indeed seen it.

"Cyber Hawke, a mutant who mysteriously appeared in Gotham a week ago, is suspected of self-healing and short-term strength enhancement, preliminarily judged to be a first-level mutant, master of martial arts, skilled in firearms, has serious violent tendencies, has an extremely ego personality, is uninhibited, suspects that he has been strictly trained in a mysterious organization, and has a threat level of B+, necessary actions against him, it is not recommended for agents below level 5 to act alone. ”

May was a little surprised to read Cyber's profile and flipped back a page to find a blank space at the back, and she looked at Coulson, who grinned at her,

"How's that? I feel it, with our reconnaissance power, it took us two days, and we couldn't find the slightest bit of information about his past, his family connections, his social circle, his religious beliefs, where he came from, I don't know anything! I admit I'm curious about him, but at the moment, he can't influence the big picture. ”

Coulson rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes slightly,

"Anyway, it's just some information about mutants, it won't upset the balance, I'm more worried about General Trisco's side, his "weapon" plan, it's hard to imagine that the Ministry of Defense will actually pass such a sensitive experiment, although the director tried his best to fight for our monitoring rights, but I just hope they can do it secretively and low-key, and stop provoking those crazy "mutant brotherhoods". ”

"It's Weapon X Plan, you say one less X"

Rumlow, who was driving, looked back and said, "I think this thing is pretty good, by the way, Coulson, the box has been opened." ”

Coulson nodded,

"I know, but that's nothing, it's just fear of poison gas, and the director doesn't plan to make everyone in the know disappear, otherwise he wouldn't have sent us, and in the face of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, they also need some special gadgets, Cyber and the bat, I hope we don't have to clean up the mess in the end." ”

Naturally, the conversation of the agent trio would not be known to the others, and after they left, Cyber turned off the lights and sat alone in the dark, as if thinking in this quiet environment, but it was clear from the cigar in his hand and the thick smoke that he was at peace inside.

Mutants!

He had always wondered if his ability to heal himself was abnormal, and now it seemed that his worst suspicion had been confirmed by Coulson, who didn't doubt Coulson's evaluation of him, and in fact, he didn't think that any S.H.I.E.L.D. agent would deceive him on such a thing.

Coulson should not be an ordinary person, Cyber can feel a trace of the temperament of a leader from him, he should be the middle level of that organization, and as Cyber who has experienced similar incidents, he also knows that the Narrow Island incident is not a big deal even in the eyes of the mayor of Gotham.

There are 800W people in this city!

He opened the small box in his hand, and among it was a data card, Cyber took a deep breath, people who begged for a life at gunpoint would not give in so easily, even if life gave him stick after stick, he took out his phone and put the data card in it.

A screen marked with the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo opens on the screen, spins, and Cyber gently presses the OK button, and a document pops up.

"Mutants, this is a mysterious being that is almost as old as the history of human civilization. ”

This sentence immediately attracted Cyber's attention, he put the cigar in his hand in the ashtray, and began to read this not very long document with full attention, although Coulson modestly said that it was a "small gift", but it was definitely one of the things that Cyber needed the most right now.

"At the invitation of Pierce, I traveled from far away Europe to the post-war United States to begin this surprising research, and I dare say that it was a real privilege for me to be the first person to be able to preside over this research with full authority after the tragic death of Professor Bolívar Trasco.... Balabala. ”

Cyber flipped through 2 pages, this was supposed to be a research report, and he was not interested in the scholars' feelings and preparations, and he quickly found what was really important.

"I found that the 237 experimental individuals in all the experiments had a part of their genes that were different from ordinary people, only a small segment, but I believe that this is what makes them different from ordinary people, and more importantly, in the genes of normal people, I also found some genetic fragments that are very similar to these messy and special beauty gene fragments, but they are not "activated". ”

"Professor Bolívar named it "X Gene", and unfortunately his research data has long been lost in the chaos, so we had to start from scratch, and after 15 months of research, in the discussion of the whole large team, we believe that whether or not this short gene fragment is activated is the decisive factor in determining whether a newborn will become a mutant, and its activation has two ways, the first is activation at birth, that is, born mutant. ”

"This is very rare, but in the research material I have at hand, such mutants are all extremely powerful level 3 or 4 mutants, such as the Magneto who destroyed 11 concentration camps in Nazi Germany, or the mutant leader Charles J. Murphy who has good intentions towards the government. Xavier, it is worth mentioning that he is preparing to open an academy in Queens, New York, dedicated to the education of mutant children, which is a real good deed, ordinary people are afraid of this power, but we all know that mortals are stupid, and those poor children finally have a home. ”

After reading this paragraph, Cyber had several more names in his mind, but he didn't stop, but continued to look back,

"The second activation of the X gene is much more common, most of them are in adolescence after severe mood swings, which will lead to the activation of the X gene, 95% of the mutants appear in this situation, but it is undeniable that compared to the total number of people with X genes in the body, the current activated mutants are definitely only a minority, don't doubt it, maybe your best friend is a potential carrier of the X gene. ”

"If you look at it purely from this point, I have to regretfully conclude that mutants are actually more like the evolutionary direction of ordinary people, due to the incomplete statistics in the past, I can only make a guess: with the passage of time, the number of mutants will become more and more, and eventually reach a normal, overall, the number threshold of mutants should be 10%-15% of the total number of human beings, which is a number that is enough to affect the progress of human civilization. ”

"If we have enough time and energy to search for ancient legends and myths, it is not difficult for us to find that many of the heroes in those stories and those big names in history are mutant characteristics, such as King Arthur's Merlin who can use magic, such as the alchemist who drove a big ship to find the elixir for the emperor in the legend of the Far East, such as the giant in Norse mythology, etc., if this speculation is true, we have to face a pessimistic fact: mutants have long left their traces in the history of human civilization, and they are more and more gorgeous than ordinary people。 ”

"So, whether we like to admit it or not, they are our stronger, wiser compatriots, and they are not monsters!"

Attached is the Mutant Ability Classification Table - 1959 Edition. ”

The study was not very long, it took Cyber 15 minutes to read it, and there was a document of the same name labeled with the 1998 revised edition, which Cyber did not open immediately, and he needed to digest the knowledge he had just obtained.

The rigor and speculation in this article gave him a clear understanding of the mutant group, and maybe it was the sentence left by the unknown professor at the end, maybe it was the mood of Cyber himself that had calmed down, in short, after reading it, he had a special sense of steadiness.

Human, all like this, always feel the pressure when he realizes that he may be a freak in the crowd, but once there are many people like him around, that pressure will disappear in an instant, even if he may not be able to see his own people in his life.

But now, he was at least sure of one thing, he was not a monster in this new world, and he vaguely felt that the real door of this world was opening to him little by little.
