Chapter 031: The Death Knell (Part II)
It can be said that in order to cover up the fact that Death Knell overturned the War Department alone, the academy and the headquarters really spared no effort. However, no one would have thought at that time that one day in the future, Knell would really join the Hydra Academy Operations Department. Not as a cadet, though.
A few years later, Deathstroke accepted the recruitment of Hydra. At that time, the first order he received was to go to the war department to become an instructor. I don't know who came up with the idea at the time, but I have to say it was the worst decision I've ever seen. During his first month as an instructor, Deathstroke severely injured seventeen students for contempt of his superiors, three of whom were never able to stand up again. In addition, he also had a very unpleasant quarrel with other faculty members because of some trivial matters. So just a month later, he ended his career as a teacher and joined Hydra's newly formed law enforcement team. At this point, Coulson paused, looking a little emotional. I don't know exactly what happened since then. The law enforcement team is a relatively independent department, and everyone in it is the strongest fighter of Hydra. They don't have agent rank, but they have level 8 clearance as high as I do now. Therefore, even inside the Hydra, few people can know what is going on inside them. However, I have heard that it only took him a week to meet with other members of the law enforcement team, and he completely established his position, at least the rest of the law enforcement team did not dare to provoke him. You know, there were several unruly guys in the law enforcement team at that time. ”
It's rare for Coulson to feel that it's worth noting.
"I've heard of that, too. I also know that there are even superpowers in the law enforcement team, so I want to know, how?! How does this death knell do this? Is it really possible to defeat those superpowers, and one person to kill 73 combat department cadets who have received complete training and can graduate?! ”
Simmons still couldn't believe it. Diagonally across from her, someone is concerned about another problem.
"Sir, you said 'there were several unruly guys in the law enforcement team at that time', you mean that the members of the law enforcement team were not fixed?" Rhaegar asked thoughtfully.
Coulson glanced at Rhaegar with some surprise: "As far as I know, yes. There are a number of low-level agents in the law enforcement team, and their duty is for the punishers, the death knell, to send them at will, to do the little things for those people, and we don't think of them as members of the law enforcement team. And I don't know what can be called a member of the law enforcement team, but there are only about ten? In short, like I said before, they are all the strongest fighters of Hydra. Needless to say, those who died in the mission naturally had to say, and if the strength was too poor and others were squeezed out of the list, well, I don't think they would end up too well. ”
Rhaegar nodded.
Skye spoke, "Well, we know that there is a brutal competition system in the law enforcement team, which is a little surprising but not too surprising. I'm more curious that there are superpowers in there, which is obviously not a normal thing given that you Hydra have been fighting this group before. In a way, these people have betrayed their group, uh, no offense. I kind of wanted to know what superpowers they had, but I told me I didn't know much, and if they did, they wouldn't tell me. So, now I'm just asking, our next collaborator, Deathknell, is he a superpower? He can defeat seventy-three with one person, he should be a superpower, right? ”
In addition to Skye, except for Simmons, who asked the question first, everyone else also looked at Coulson. They all want to know the answer.
Coulson put on a tangled expression.
"Hmm...... I don't know if he's a superpower, but he's not an ordinary human. He said, "Deathknell, whose original name was Slade Wilson, was once a U.S. soldier who falsely declared his age at the age of 16. More than ten years later, after experiencing many wars, he has made many contributions to the U.S. military, and is also known in the army for his strong character and firm faith. To this end, the military top brass asked him if he would like to participate in the testing of a new type of coerced confession potion, and he simply agreed. As a result, when it was his turn to test the effects of the coerced potion as an experimental subject, the experiment went unexpected, and Wilson's body underwent irreversible mutations. With increased strength, changes in speed, and increased efficiency in the processing of information by the brain, he has acquired various bodily functions that are far beyond the limits of human beings. ”
"Wait, isn't this a Captain America plot?" Skye spit out.
In this regard, Coulson's expression was a little strange: "It's a little similar, but it's not the same." The captain knew he was going to be experimented with as a super soldier. And Wilson, hehe, later another successful scientific research team of the military who was researching how to replicate the super soldier serum on the captain's body, learned that Wilson had gained super physical fitness from the accident of forcing the potion, and they were all so angry that they were going crazy. They've failed countless times. Regardless, since then, Wilson has become an extraordinary human who doesn't know if he's a superpower. ”
At this point, Coulson stopped and looked at Fitz and Simmons. And after seven or eight seconds of eye contact, the pair of science babies agreed that super physique should also be included in the category of superpowers.
This decision is not too surprising. But just as Skye was excited that she was finally going to see someone with superpowers, Coulson poured cold water on her.
"You have to know that he is no longer the soldier who was loyal to the army and the country. It's not just about the superpowers he gains, it's also about his temperament. ”
Two years before the test, Wilson had married a strong woman in the military and had a child. It wasn't until he gained superpowers after the test that he could serve the country even more, and his life was quite happy. Until one day, one of his enemies on the battlefield came to the door, kidnapped his wife and son, and threatened him to serve him to create chaos by blowing up a bus station. At that time, Wilson refused, he wanted to save his wife and children like a superhero, and save those innocent people. Unfortunately, in the end, he didn't make it completely. He did save the innocent people in that bus station in time, and he saved his wife in time, but he couldn't save his son. And that's not the end of it. His wife, believing that her son's death was Wilson's fault, shot Wilson in the right eye in a fit of rage before swallowing the gun and committing suicide. Wilson's body recovered quickly after he was rescued, but his heart had completely deteriorated. He left the army, but did not go through the normal formalities. When the army sent people to question him, he killed them all. He became cruel and cunning.
Eventually, he became a mercenary, and after a few years, he was recruited by Hydra and later became a member of the law enforcement team. This is the history of the death knell – at least part of it. And such a person will be Rhaegar's 'partner' for the next period of time.
