Chapter 0029: This hodgepodge is too miscellaneous
Stephanie thinks that Clarey is Rollo's little girlfriend or forbidden + belly or something, and will definitely pay more attention to her when the time comes, and Rollo is also helpless about it. He didn't explain it, after all, this kind of thing will only get darker and darker. He admits that Clarley is the kind of girl she likes, but he doesn't—at least not yet—mean anything about her.
In order to avoid suspicion, he simply found an apartment nearby, moved out of the church, and no longer lived there, giving up the place to Clare.
This can be regarded as a small trouble for Rollo to get rid of.
The church is different from other buildings, and according to Catholic teachings, it should be a very open place for the faithful. At the very least, even if Rollo, the missionary, could not meet the needs of the believers who wanted to confess and talk at any time, he would at least welcome them with the doors of the church open when they were worshipping sincerely. However, Rollo is not a full-time missionary, this identity is just a cover for him, and he has to go out from time to time to be his 'cultural relics thief', which naturally cannot meet the needs of the believers. This, of course, in turn, affected his status as a missionary. Now that Claret lives in it, opening and closing the doors every day, and cleaning them once in a while, it's a different story. Not to mention the work of Rollo as a missionary, it is also possible to ensure that this church can perform its due function. And there is an additional bonus that Rollo didn't expect: poor Claret quickly mingled with the believers in the neighborhood, and her sad experience (embellished) made the believers feel pity and affection for her, and indirectly gave Rollo, the missionary of the church that took her in, a better impression in their hearts. For his occasional non-appearance, he is much more tolerant.
So the identity of Rollo missionary is more secure.
By the way, the Shadowhunter's bloodline is said to come from the angel Rachel, so Clarley is probably a relative or even a descendant of God's old man? This status made her live in the church, which is condescension!
Hehe, just kidding.
Speaking of the identity of the missionary, the mission given to him by Hydra this time, or the 'price' of the information he traded with Hydra, was mainly used in this identity. Hydra didn't know his 'artifact thief' side, and didn't need to use his non-offensive 'purification' ability, but asked him to use his role as a well-known missionary to convince a young man named 'Augustus' to lower his guard and get him to accept the contact of the person he had introduced, that is, the Hydra's people. Rollo did so. The cause and effect of the incident, Hydra didn't say, and he didn't ask, so he wouldn't know how much trouble this matter would cause him in the near future.
Now that the requirements have been completed, it is natural to reap the fruits. The information Stephanie gave him was in a USB stick. Well, it's partially encrypted, and it's the kind that self-destructs. Rollo first looked at the unencrypted part to confirm that the information was true, and then got the decryption key after completing the task. At this point, the only thing that is uncertain is how much of this information is hidden by Hydra. However, after reading the whole article, Luo Luo preliminarily judged that even Hydra did not hide much content.
First, the problem of mutants. This world is not a pure MCU world, and the presence of mutants is something that Rollo has long determined. But the evidence that confirms the real existence of mutants is only in fragments of history, and they have not appeared in the last twenty or thirty years, which is amazing. At first, Rollo thought he was going to encounter something like Liberty Island (X-Men 1) or Alcatraz (X-Men 3), but he didn't. Now he knows why. It turned out that after experiencing the 'first war' Cuban nuclear crisis in Rollo's previous life, the 'reversing the future' Trask incident that did not exclude the future part, and the 'apocalypse' with heavy thunder and small rain, the mutants who almost became the target of public criticism because Magneto assassinated President Nixon of the United States reached a certain agreement with S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time. The general content of the agreement should be that mutants should be self-restrained, hiding from the world of ordinary humans in exchange for some technical support from S.H.I.E.L.D., and S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot meddle in mutant affairs after that. The specific terms are not clear to the Hydra side, even if one of their leaders, Alexander Pierce, used to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot change this fact. Because this agreement was secretly made by Peggy Carter, the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Professor X on the mutant side, even the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. could not know the specific content without alarming Peggy Carter's old man. And all these years the mutants have been guarding the protocol of hiding, and there is no reason for S.H.I.E.L.D. to go to Peggy Carter to provide decryption.
That's interesting, isn't it?
The information also mentions some mutants, their personalities, mutant abilities, appearance, physique, etc., those are the old batch of mutants, Luo Luo already has a certain understanding of them, and a considerable number of them should have died. In other words, apart from the secret agreement that was nothing but speculation and speculation, there wasn't much information in the intelligence that Rollo wanted.
Well, the existence of the protocol itself explains something, so it's not without gains.
Then there's the second piece of information that Rollo asks Stephanie for, the Terminator T-800 who calls himself 'Cyborg'. If there was only the title of 'Cyborg', Rollo would not make such a fuss, but after the appearance of a 'Batman' and the fact that "there is no more Justice League in the world", the situation is worth paying attention to. No, from the information Stephanie gave him, Rollo found a lot of problems.
'Cybrow' appeared in the early eighties, when the mutants had been hidden because of the agreement with Peggy Carter, which had nothing to do with his appearance at that time, and Rollo couldn't easily judge, but at least without those mutants with various magical abilities, it took a long time for S.H.I.E.L.D. to be completely sure that this 'Cyborg' was not an experiment made by some crazy lab. In fact, according to S.H.I.E.L.D. - and the Hydra scientists lurking inside - over the years, the 'steel bone' is not a product of Earth, and its mechanical structure is not pure steel, but some strange metal that does not exist on Earth. Scientists have tried to replicate or imitate this metal, which can temporarily change the shape of the body while maintaining the body's properties, but unfortunately it has not been successful.
At this point, S.H.I.E.L.D. - and Hydra - came to the conclusion that the cyborg who called himself 'Cyborg' was really from outer space, as he himself said.
This was verified by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s analysis of his 'memories'. Scientists were unable to find the existence of a hard drive or other data storage on the body of the 'steel bone', but they stumbled upon the ability to intercept the stream of data representing his ideas through a network. In these streams, scientists learned that he came from a planet called Cybertron, which had many mechanical lifeforms similar to Cyborg, called Transformers, and that Cyborg was the weakest of their race.
What?! - Seeing this, Luo Luo couldn't help but complain: What a damn hodgepodge this is!
Back to the point, it is probably that a civil war broke out on the planet Cybertron, and the mechanical lifeforms split into two formations, the Autobots and Decepticons. In this battle, Cybertron was overwhelmed and shattered, and the Transformers became outcasts in the universe, scattered throughout the universe. Among them, the weakest batch of Autobots' 'Steelbone' met the enemy, was chased and killed all the way, and finally defeated the enemy, but also suffered irreparable injuries, and after holding on for a while, he came to the solar system and crashed in the Great Lakes region of North America on Earth. Later, he finally managed to pick up a life, but his ability deteriorated, and since then, he can no longer scan and transform into the form of other traffic vehicles like other Transformers, and can only change his appearance briefly.
Fortunately, being able to change his appearance for a short time is also a technical job, at least scientists on Earth can't do this, which has become his value, and it is one of the reasons why he stayed on Earth and stayed in S.H.I.E.L.D. as a supernumerary agent instead of being dismantled or expelled. Another reason is his convenience as a cyborg and his own combat effectiveness. Over the years, he has been holding a sharp knife in the field of espionage, and its applicability is second only to the famous Black Widow.
By the way, although human scientists cannot operate his 'operating system + system', they have found a lot of reference value in artificial intelligence. For example, in the last few years of Howard Stark's life before he was in a 'car accident', he did some analysis of his data flow, and designed a prototype of artificial intelligence. This prototype is the prototype of Iron Man Tony Stark's intelligent butler 'Jarvis'.
After reading this information, Luo Luo didn't know what kind of mood he should be in. Probably - there's a Transformers called 'Cyborg'? Is there one? Didn't you? Wait online, it's in a hurry!
