Chapter 14: The Beginning of the Rampage

Illuminati.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

During the meeting, Howard Stark asked Gao Chen.

"Why do you ask?"

Gao Chen asked rhetorically. Charles Xavier and Hank McCoy on the side looked at the two helplessly.

"The world seems to have changed so much since you came along and established this Illuminati. And I am also very aware that there is a certain change taking place in the world, a change that has been spawned by our own hands. I don't know if this change is good or bad, but I feel uneasy! Very unsettling! ”

Howard Stark looked irritated.

"It's just a psychological effect."

"Psychological effects? I don't want to calculate, that's because I'm not here, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid! I'll have to tell you again what you're trying to do. ”

"Peace!"

"I don't believe it."

"Why?"

"My gut tells me I can't trust you."

"When did you rely on your instincts to judge things, Stark?"

"I've always been. Whether it's people, things, or science, I've always relied on intuition. ”

"What do you think, Professor? And Hank? Gao Chen threw the topic to the other two members who were seated.

"We all know Mr. Stark's temperament." Hank McCoy and the professor looked at each other, a little embarrassed. If Howard Stark came up with any evidence, they would naturally value it, but it was only a gut judgment, and although some people's intuition was terrifying, Professors Charles Xavier and Hank McCoy could only express euphemistic distrust.

What temperament does Howard Stark have?

Be proud of yourself. The effect of reasoning with such a person is very low, he only listens to his own, and it is difficult to listen to others. He only cares about himself and a very small number of one or two people, such people, no matter who admires his talent, but no matter who they are, they don't want to be too close to him. Just one mouth can be so poisonous that it makes people feel embarrassed.

Just like right now.

Who knows what happened to Howard Stark's emotions.

"Did the professor really not realize that something was wrong? Now the speed of scientific and technological climbing in various countries has simply kept up with the rocket! Stark's skills were also revealed. Hammer Military Industry even found the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and developed a series of weapons based on the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. And these weapons, according to their scientific research strength, it is difficult to develop them to this point in such a short period of time.

Someone is helping them! I'm pretty sure! And I don't know many people who have this ability. What's worse is that most of these weapons are powerful and expensive, and I have made an account, and at this rate of climbing, some of the earth's resources will soon be stretched thin. ”

"That can't be assumed to have anything to do with Gao? He is erudite, but scientific weapons, does not seem to be in the ranks of high erudition. Hank McCoy couldn't help but exclaim, "Maybe it's Hydra?" Didn't Gao say that they didn't disappear, they just went into hiding? There are Hydras within S.H.I.E.L.D., so it's hard to make sure this isn't another war they're secretly planning? ”

"Okay, well, I know that my unprovoked, more whim-based speculation is pointless, but I always feel that something bad is about to happen to the world if this continues. Nuclear weapons used to be five countries, but now which country has nuclear weapons, we don't dare to judge at all! In addition, the current international situation is becoming more and more tense, and it is getting worse and worse. Even if tomorrow is another world war, I am not surprised. Even if it's a nuclear war. "Howard Stark was distraught.

"Aren't we just doing it to prepare for that day? After almost two decades of tremendous investment and preparation, we already have the strength to deal with these accidents. As soon as the war is on the stage, I will inform you as soon as it is announced. Professor Charles Xavier said.

"I hope so." Howard Stark made a perfunctory remark.

……

Contract shop.

A man with a scruffy beard and a sense of discouragement walked into the shop.

"Eric Lanshel?" Seeing the man's face, even if he had changed from his former high spirits to being as haggard and depressed as he is now, Gao Chen behind the counter still recognized the person, or rather, he originally gave the other party the qualification to enter this store.

Over the years, the store has received many big names. These big names correspondingly also helped a lot for Gao Chen's plan.

"You know me?" Eric Lanshell laughed miserably.

"Of course, I know why you're here."

"Why?"

"You want to resurrect your children, your wife, and reunite your family! That's the kind of longing you have in your heart! And, of course, the brutality of destruction, endless regret, and deep self-reproach. ”

"Can you resurrect them?" Eric Lanschel's godless eyes suddenly brightened! Filled with a touch of anxious and fiery hope, hope, and longing! He only heard Gao's first words, and only this one! He had heard of such a store with incredible ability to do any trade, and he had been looking for this store for a long time.

"I can't." Gao Chen shook his head. Of course he could, but why risk exposure? It's just a Magneto, and it's not worth the risk he takes.

Eric Lansell's bright eyes dimmed little by little, and his face, which had been glowing before, seemed to have the temperature of a living person, and became a little cold and pale. But Gao Chen's next sentence made his disgraced heart beat vigorously again.

"I can't, but someone can."

"Who?" Eric Lansall asked.

"Sign a contract, you've probably heard of my rules."

In the darkness of the counter came a piece of parchment, on which rested a quill dipped in ink. After a brief glance, Eric Lanshell had no objections and happily signed his name on the paper.

"You can say it." Eric Lanshell pushed the signed contract back and watched it disappear into the darkness of the counter again.

"En-Saba Noor! Ever heard of the name? Gao Chen asked.

Eric Lanshell shook his head.

"So, what about his other name, 'Apocalypse'!"

"Apocalypse?"

"Yes, the book of Revelation. An ancient being that has lived for an unknown number of years, older than human history. Also the world's first mutant, the ancestor of all mutants! ”

"I thought mutants had only appeared in the last twenty years." Eric Lanshell was taken aback. "Can he save my wife and daughter?"

"Apocalypse has a lot of incredible abilities, and he can transform his body at will to gain more power and live longer! You can go to him and plead with him face to face. ”

"Where is he?"

"He was in Egypt, and his consciousness was asleep and wandering. How to find him, how to wake him up, according to the deal, are already in your mind. ”
