Chapter 64: The Text Message

Lorel didn't know what route she had flown or what she had experienced, and when she landed, she came to her senses, but she was already in Romania. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Her location is probably outside a more remote village. After shaking her head and getting rid of her grief and guilt for a while, she planned to hide the aircraft first and then find a way to go to the U.S. Embassy in Romania for help. It's just that I didn't expect that Zorro actually left her some dollars and euros, some Romanian leu (currency), and a fake passport on the flying machine. With that, how long she can stay in Romania is to contact Wildcat directly and contact Batman or S.H.I.E.L.D. through Wildcat and ask them to send someone to pick her up. I have to say that Zorro is really careful enough.

And this made her even more sad and guilty.

Along with the fake passports, there was also a folded piece of paper. When I opened it, it was a text message.

"Dear Miss Rorel Lance, I ...... from the bottom of my heart Damn if I were to set the tone for a letter, it wouldn't be like this! ā€

As soon as he saw this sentence at the beginning of the article, Rorel couldn't help laughing. She even remembered the times when Zorro had made her laugh, and he was still there/right in front of her eyes.

"When you read this letter - well, maybe I should change it. Usually this kind of beginning is not very good. But I'm a bit lazy, so forget it. ā€

Rorel's eyes moistened slightly.

"Alright, let's get down to business. If you do see this letter, there are only two possibilities. One is that my experiment was successful, the door opened, and I entered the other side of the door; The second is the failure of the experiment, and there are some kind of disasters that cannot be reversed or stopped, such as explosions, energy leaks, radiation, being surrounded by Latvian troops, and so on. But whether it's one or two - of course 'one' is best - it's unlikely we'll ever get a chance to see each other again, so I want to say those three words to you - haha, where do you think! It's not 'I_love_U (I love you)' - I'm not that cruel. It's not 'I_am_sorry (I'm sorry)' – you think I'll apologize? The answer is 'I_am_free (I'm free)'. Tell me once, I'm free, louder! ā€

Seeing this, although Rorel didn't understand, he still subconsciously followed along, and shouted out as if he was venting. There was a "beep" sound, which came from the collar Zorro had made for her.

Stunned for a moment, she hurriedly continued to look down.

"That's right, there's a voice lock in there, and the password is those three words. When the lock is opened, the effect that prohibits you from using superpowers disappears forever - the principle is actually quite simple, but I'm not going to tell you. You can also take the collar off. But if I were you, I wouldn't. Not to mention that the collar really fits your look as a black canary, but more importantly, it allows you to have a wider range of sound frequencies and better use your abilities. Originally, it was just a disturbance and dizziness, but after adjusting the sound frequency, it has the effect of hypnosis and puncture, and it can also cause deafness and even death when used with all its might. Just think of it as ...... Well, you've paid me for a few months. ā€

I really didn't apologize, but this is much more sincere than an apology. Thinking so, Rorel sniffed.

"That's it. There should have been something to say, but ...... Forget it. Finally, I want you to do me a favor. If you meet my little maid, tell her that I died when I tried to open the portal, whether I ended up one or two. To S.H.I.E.L.D. and other superheroes, you could tell them that I wasn't controlled by Loki at all. I don't think someone as proud as Loki would have said it for himself. And it's a lot of fun to let them know that I played with them before I died, and they can't retaliate yet, haha! Also, when those people asked you, did you remember being threatened by me all the time? That's it, goodbye. This salute is omitted, and the payment is made - your slave master for more than 160 days. ā€

Putting the letter away and wiping his eyes, Rorel took a deep breath and returned to his original capable style. After finding a place in the village to go online and contact the people she should contact, she ushered in Black Widow and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Quin-style fighter in just a few hours. Hand over the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and you have to explain what has happened in the past few months. Questioned by Nick Fury and the other superheroes who came to hear the news, she told Zorro about his death and why he died, but concealed the letter, the aftermath of the collar, and the strange relationship she had with Zorro. After saying that, she was questioned and even interrogated for several days before she was able to leave after her mentor, Wildcat, asked S.H.I.E.L.D. for help.

Back in Gotham, it feels like a lifetime.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D., they were still skeptical of Rorel's words. Although the Cosmic Cube has returned, there is no doubt that they are still not sure if Zorro has left any behind. Of course, I also hope to catch Zorro back and give an account to the boss. Then, it took a bit of effort and several sacrifices to infiltrate Latvinia to gather information about the explosion site, and then barely verified the situation.

In the middle of the night, the head boss of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Secretary-General of the United Nations Security Council, Alexander Pierce, welcomed a guest in his villa.

"Mission Report." Looking at the warrior with a mechanical arm standing in the shadows, Pierce said.

It was the Winter Soldier who had a conflict with Zorro, or the Winter Soldier for short.

"The person who contacted the connector has been contacted, and the other party handed over a document." The Winter Soldier responded in a voice that barely showed any mood swings, and handed over the papers in his hand.

Pierce turned on a lamp that was barely bright enough, opened the file and looked at it.

"Weird marksmanship. Well, he showed it when he snatched the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and it was really weird. Extreme strength and agility. We know that, too, don't you, you have the most say. I like to eat delicious and make good dishes. This was unexpected. Also, cold skin? What, he's a vampire half-zombie or something? What is this document, there is no reference value at all! ā€

The Winter Soldier spoke again: "The other party said that Clarefrey is very close to the other mutants, and she seems to have some kind of power in her brain to protect it. In order to avoid exposure, the other party still took advantage of her falling asleep to start. ā€

"Hehe, if I didn't know you, I would have thought you were defending that person!" Pierce smiled, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes. "The fact that the skin is cold is a new piece of information that may allow the laboratory to analyze the cause. The problem is that there is already definite evidence that he died in the explosion, and it doesn't seem to make sense to keep waiting. What do you think we should do with the mutant who lurks on our behalf? ā€

The Winter Soldier did not respond.

Pierce didn't expect him to respond: "Let that man continue to lurk, and continue to find a way to dig up useful information from Clarefrey's memory." This time, though, the focus is no longer on Zorro, but on her own Shadowhunter magic! ā€

This time, the Winter Soldier still didn't respond, but the fact that he left already showed that Pierce's order would definitely be in place.

Inside the villa, Pierce opened the document and looked at it again, then threw it in the trash and set it on fire.

"Cold skin? Interesting......"
