Chapter 8: The Illuminati
A swarthy room, flickering with rows of candlelight.
"Now that everyone has arrived, let's have something to say." A somewhat frivolous voice came out: "It seems that there are few people in our organization!" ”
"Mr. Stark, the organization pursues a meritocracy policy, and no amount of mediocrity will be of much use to the plan. What's more, there will always be more people in the future. Hello Professor, we meet again. Another voice followed.
"I didn't expect it to be you, Gao! This is Hank, Hank McCoy! One of the smartest mutants! He has a lot of inventions. "Charles Xavier was in good spirits, but he always looked a little absent-minded.
"I know you, Professor! And you, beast. Howard Stark spun left and right in his chair to adjust to a position that made him feel comfortable, raised his fingers and brushed his hair, and continued, "You mutant brother has been very beautiful lately. You should know him, right? The one codenamed Magneto? ”
"Acquaintance." Hank McCoy Road. Charles Xavier, on the other hand, seemed to be in a daze.
"It's tragic, isn't it? The humans who possessed that power, but were simply thrown into prison by the humans he despised. Howard Stark shrugged his shoulders and said something that had been in a storm lately. A terrorist/group called the Brotherhood was swept and captured, and only one or two members escaped.
"Alright, Mr. Howard, your poisonous tongue should be restrained here. Tearing open a partner's scar is not a gentleman's business. Gao Chen stopped the two parties from continuing to bump into each other. The reason why Tony Stark is so weak and poisonous in the future is obviously genetics from the performance of Howard Stark today.
"I'm just bored. But I found out that I was swearing on them, and they were still not interesting. I miss my lab immensely now. To be honest, Gao, the project book and core data you gave me earlier are wonderful! Can you let me go home and stay with them? Howard Stark said.
"Why did you join here if you didn't want to stay here?" Hank McCoy stabbed indignantly.
"That's because Gao came up with something I couldn't refuse, and it was enough to change the world! So after I got the things, I didn't listen to what Gao told me at all, so I agreed to everything. Howard Stark replied cheerfully: "I still don't know what the name of our organization is?" S.H.I.E.L.D.? Hydra? Don't tell me it's a fallen brotherhood? ”
"It's the Illuminati!" Gao Chen had a headache. He found Howard Stark to be just as difficult to handle as Tony Stark as he remembered. But Tony Stark is just a memory, and it's only Nick Fury in the movie who is deflated, but Howard Stark has experienced it himself.
"That's not a bad name. I agreed. Howard Stark nodded.
"Well, let's ignore him for now. This was the first gathering of our members. We both signed a contract with each other before we came, do you remember? "Gao Chen decided to put Howard Stark aside for the time being, and if he continued to compete with him, I am afraid that this party will be nothing. Gao Chen didn't want to waste any more time.
"Yes." Hank McCoy said:
"That's an insurance policy! There is a magical power on it that ensures that we do not tell each other any information about the members, and you can trust the confidentiality of the members. Gao Chen explained.
"Don't we say we can't see people? Or is this an illegal organization like Hydra? Howard Stark raised his hand again.
Gao Chen ignored him.
"I repeat here the purpose for which our organization was founded! To keep the peace! ”
"Peace?" Charles Xavier repeated Gao Chen's words.
"Yes, peace! We've all been through war! And it's been witnessing war! I don't think any of you will forget the cruelty of World War II, right? After the end of World War II, many people thought that there would be peace for a long time, but unfortunately it was not! We ushered in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union!
Our descendants will not only witness the war as we do, but will also be forced to participate in it!
You think that's even worse? What's worse is that none of us know if the next moment will be the end of the world! Nuclear warfare! ”
"So you're going to form a team to be superheroes and keep world peace all over the world? I agree with you, but it's a bit tough to do. Howard Stark didn't know where to pull out a piece of dark chocolate and responded to Gao Chen's words as he ate it.
"We really need peace!" In stark contrast to Howard Stark's cynicism are the uplifting-looking Charles Xavier, as well as Hank McCoy. As the founder of Xavier's School for the Gifted and Young, his cadets were forced to enlist in the army because of the damn war, whether it was on the side of people or the camp of mutants, Charles as a professor was extremely disgusted with war.
"It's really tough. But as someone who knows a lot more than you do, oh, I have no intention of laughing at your vast insight, Mr. Stark, I am only telling a fact. The truth is that this world is dangerous, and there are all kinds of people and things that can destroy it, destroy this planet. If you don't want your students and bloodlines to finish playing with Earth, I think it's a good idea to have an organization that plans ahead. Gao Chen said.
Howard Stark's face froze, he didn't know what Gao Chen knew to be so sure, but as one of the original founding participants of S.H.I.E.L.D., he still knew something that ordinary people didn't know. For example, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?
"Well, what are you going to do? Let me support your weapons? "Howard Stark spreads his hands.
"We don't need weapons, because we don't want war. What we need is something that will allow all of humanity, and some of the beings to quietly restrain their anger and have to listen to us. Gao Chen said. A kind of high-tech! Or whatever you want. ”
"What are you going to do?" Charles Xavier asked curiously.
"No war does not kill people, but what we choose is to exchange the least price for the greatest result! First of all, our goal is to solve the nuclear threat, as well as the technological threat of humanity! There is nothing more calming than making people lose the power to fight! ”
"EMP weapons?" Howard Stark thought of a possibility in an instant.
"No, no, no, more extreme! A technology that directly makes the knowledge of science obsolete, and even becomes obsolete from this planet. Gao Chen shook his fingers.
"It can't be!" Howard Stark replied without thinking about it. Science is everything! He firmly believes!
"Nothing is impossible. Science is magical, but it's also fragile. I can prove it to you. ”
