Chapter 314: String-Pulling Puppet

"Mom...... Mom? ”

Although the living room was so dark that he could not reach his fingers, and although the face of the woman standing by the sofa was covered with a veil, the moment the voice sounded, Eric was sure that it was his real mother, Yvette Charlotte, who appeared in front of him.

"It's me, kid." Yvette's soft, gentle voice echoed in the depths of his mind, "Relax, I just wanted to talk to you." ”

Staring at her in shock for a moment, Eric quickly calmed down and asked, "Why now?" Raven told me you don't want to be in front of me, and you've been well hidden for years...... Why have you changed your mind now? ”

"There are some things I have to talk to you about." Yvette said apologetically, "It's been really hard for you all these years, you shouldn't have had such a life, everything you've experienced is what we owe you as parents......"

"It doesn't have to be." Eric said lightly, "This is my life now, and I have accepted this, no matter what kind of outcome my future will eventually lead to, it is a predestined fate, no need to mention it." Let's just say it, what's wrong? If it's okay, I don't think you would have chosen to appear in front of me. ”

"I'm really sorry about that, Eric. I'm worried about you all the time, but my presence will only mess up your life even more, so I chose to keep my distance. "But you're right, I do have something to tell you...... It's about your father. ”

"If you mean that the guy in the Omega armor is just a bionic that copies his memories, I already know that." "Fifteen years ago, my father left Aegis in the hope of getting an immortal body, so he downloaded his consciousness into the bioid, and the real one was killed when the Amodroid droid went berserk, right?" ”

"Augustine revealed the news, and it seems that this was indeed the case at the time." Yvette said, pausing for anger and saying solemnly, "I didn't notice it at the beginning, but we were all deceived. It wasn't until recently that I found out that Padraic had been transferred by the androids back when he and I left S.H.I.E.L.D. ”

Eric frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

"I can't say for sure, but based on my speculation, it should be something like this - your father did back up his consciousness himself, and put it into the bionic body, but it was probably not his intention for the bionic body to become what it is today. Someone got their hands on the bionic after that, and tweaked the memories it had written down a bit, overwriting its original instructions to make it act as it pleased. ”

Eric listened, frowned and pondered. This is a completely new theory, but many things do seem to make sense if interpreted in this way. For example, after Omega was shot down by Eric in the outbreak of the sub-Mordro virus, how he evaded the search of Aegis in such a seriously injured state; Another example is how he hid his whereabouts for such a long time, and secretly used a powerful organization like NOWHERE to capture young superpowers on a large scale in order to achieve the purpose of continuing to research and develop the sub-Mozhuo virus; Another example is why when Eric asks about the identity of the helper behind Omega, he suddenly freezes like his mind is short-circuited.

If fifteen years ago, he was just a puppet with manipulated memories and a self-imposed puppet in control, it all seems to make sense. He was just a puppet dancing on the stage, and he thought that everything he had done so far was based on his own wise and grand plan.

So now the question is......

"Who is it?" Eric asked, "Since you came here to tell me this, you must already have a suspicious candidate in your mind, right?" Who do you think did this? ”

Yvette was silent for a long time.

"I do have a guess about the identity of that person." "But I can't tell you...... Not yet. To be honest, I still haven't figured out the depth of that man, who is probably the most formidable opponent I've ever seen. ”

Eric frowned: "So you're worried that if I tell me the identity of the other party, I'll go to him?" In that case, why did you bother to tell me this? ”

There was silence for a long time.

"Part of the reason I've come to you is because I really want to see you in my heart." Yvette admitted, "But there's something else I want to ask you for......"

She paused here, and Eric seemed to feel the concerned gaze shooting from under the black veil.

“...... I want you to stop here and stop trying to find out who is behind it. ”

At the same time, Nightwing's stronghold had been used as a base of operations for the newly formed Teen Titans.

After a brief meeting, everyone went back to their bedrooms, leaving only Nightwing who was still sitting in front of the computer in the hall, and Raven, who had been sitting on the couch since Eric left.

After a few taps on the keyboard, Nightwing reclined himself in his chair, stretched his arms and turned his gaze to Raven.

"Don't you go to sleep yet?" "It's almost midnight," he asked. ”

"I'm used to going to bed late." Raven didn't raise his head, and said lightly.

Nightwing pondered for a moment and spoke, "Listen, I'm sorry about Eric's departure...... too"

"It's okay." "He doesn't like to be on the team in the first place, and you don't have to worry about it. If he really cared, he wouldn't have just walked away like he had just done. ”

"Really?" Nightwing scratched his head, "To be honest, I don't have much confidence that I can lead this team. Everyone here is very talented, but they have never received any decent training......"

He paused as he spoke, and turned his gaze to the computer screen.

"Wait, my sensor at the door seems to be showing ...... We've got a visitor? ”

As soon as the words fell, the gate of the stronghold was violently slammed open. The metal door panel slammed heavily on the floor, and a burly black figure appeared outside the door, bright white fluorescent stripes outlined on his jet-black metal shell, painted in the shape of an "X" on his chest.

It's the Omega of the Armor of the Devil.

"Good evening, boys." A muffled voice came from under Omega's helmet, "We meet again." ”
