Chapter 044: Multiple Choice Questions
The time accidentally arrived at eight o'clock in the evening.
Asked by Death Bell to stay in Arkham, although reluctantly, Rhaegar and the others did not take it negatively. Since the guards of Arkham Asylum had all died in the previous battle, and the Gotham police officers were all involved in preventing someone from raiding tonight's charity party, Rhaegar and the others simply came to Gotham's Hydra ordinary agents and sent a team of six people to help.
Rhaeggar, Ward, and Coulson take the regular agents and drive the villains back to their cells, working with Fitz and Simmons to repair and strengthen the damaged parts of the security system, and Skye designs a better alarm system. After almost 10 hours of continuous travel, they finally had some time to relax and chat, and eat.
At this time, except for Coulson, who was directing the six ordinary agents to do the final arming, and May, who was probably still unconscious and did not show up at all, the rest of the team sat down on the edge of the SUV that drove into the gate.
"I had a hunch that the day was going to be tight, so I bought a few more burritos in the morning and put them in my SUV before I came here. So, when you enjoy this hard-won food, you all have to thank me! ”
Fitz said with a grin, only to be met with the roll of his teammates' eyes.
"I'm not surprised that Fitz would sneak food in the car. What I couldn't understand was that no one else had been here. Taking a bite of the burrito, Rhaegar munched on it and said inarticulately.
"Isn't that strange?" As soon as Rhaegar finished speaking, Skye picked up the conversation, "After all, the whole island is a madhouse, there are no other facilities, and there is only one way in and out, I don't think many people will usually walk this way." ”
Listening to Skye's words, Rhaegar shook his head: "You're right, but I'm not talking about ordinary people. Knell left so many mutant corpses here, I thought there would be other mutants coming to take them back, well, they would. I guess that's why the death knell kept us here. There won't be too many mutants, and once we fight other mutants on our side, the pressure on his side will be greatly reduced. ”
Leaving aside the fact that this is why the death knell kept them there, it was indeed too strange that the mutants did not appear. Even ordinary humans will find a way to redeem their captives after a war has been fought. And if their soldiers have any secrets on them, they will even find a way to get the dead back. Such a situation should be more serious for mutants. After all, there is a certain gap between mutants and humans, and the genetic difference is the secret carried on the corpses of their 'soldiers'. They would surely be worried that ordinary humans would find a more convenient way to deal with them by studying the corpses of their kind. In the case of Hydra who has been sparing no effort to suppress superpowers for more than two decades, such a situation cannot be ignored. But now that so much time has passed, even if the people they sent here are all wiped out and no one goes back to report the news, they should know that there is something wrong with the plan here, and at least they should send someone over to investigate. But no, why?
Could it be that among them alive are clairvoyants who can see the situation here from afar? If that's the case, it's even worse if you don't launch a raid to get those corpses back!
Unless......
Thinking of this, Rhaegar stood up suddenly, stuffed the remaining half of the burrito into his mouth in three or two times, and walked out.
His abnormality was naturally seen by his teammates.
"Rhaeggar, what's wrong?"
"Well, I'm looking for Coulson...... I may have thought of the answer to my question. The mutants didn't come here to retrieve the corpses of their kind, perhaps because they had something more important than the risk of the mutant gene's secrets leaking out! Perhaps Thomas Wayne and tonight's charity party weren't their ultimate plan at all, but just a small goal that had to be achieved until then. In other words, they ask for a lot! ”
In other cases, Rhaegar didn't mind letting the mutants clean up the Hydra, or simply seeing if he could secretly play a small trick to make the two sides fight and lose both. But if it caused damage to the hands of Wayne Sr. and others, and even death, then he would have to think twice.
Rhaegar's analysis made his teammates realize the seriousness of the matter. Skye also stood up. As soon as she said to Rhaegar "I'll go with you to Coulson", she ran into Coulson walking over.
"I don't need you to make a trip, I hear you. But that's not just the hardest thing to accept. Coulson said this, his face darkened terribly—even darker than he had been on the way here. I just got a call from Police Chief James Gordon who said that the death knell had told him to withdraw most of the police forces that had been deployed around the Gotham Hotel and along the way. ”
"What?!" Rhaegar and the others exclaimed in unison.
The arrangement of the police force at the Gotham Hotel was planned by James Gordon with a lot of effort, including some of Coulson's opinions. These set-ups, along with the professional bodyguards that Thomas Wayne brought in for the gala, to set up a number of light and dark lines of defense inside and out, to ensure that the saber-toothed tigers and Wolverines or other enemies could not launch effective attacks. To be honest, even Gordon himself wasn't too sure about such a defense, after all, they were mutants who were as terrifying as two beasts and had super self-healing abilities. And he has put the maximum police force he can mobilize into such a defense plan. But now, the death knell actually made him withdraw the defense?
"It's not just the vast majority of the police. Gordon also said that the death knell also made Thomas Wayne withdraw a considerable part of his professional bodyguards. Coulson added.
This situation made Rhaegar and them very incomprehensible.
What exactly does Death Knell want to do?
"Now you have a difficult choice in front of you." Looking at the faces of the team members one by one, Coulson said with a serious expression, "If I'm not mistaken, Death Knell is intending to facilitate the mutant attack on the charity party. I don't know if he has any plans for the next step, whether he is going to take the hands of the mutants and get rid of someone or find an opportunity to wipe out the mutants, or some other deeper goal, but I do know that if Knell's plan comes true, if the mutants do attack the Gotham Hotel, Thomas Wayne will be in danger, Martha Wayne will be in danger, James Gordon will be in danger, and many ordinary humans will be in danger. At this point, he paused, took a deep breath, and then solemnly said, "I have decided to go to the hotel." If you are going to hear the death knell, you can stay here; And if you're going to do something for those innocent ordinary people, now, follow me. ”
