Chapter 353: The Lost Scepter
In fact, Ultron never suspected that it was Zorro who stole Loki's scepter. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ As the latter said, he has been with Ultron, discussing how to thicken the defense system, and there is no chance at all. Ultron suspects that Zorro may have colluded with the man who stole the scepter. But that was just a sign of his irrationality in anger. When he calmed down and thought about it, he found that Zorro had no idea about the room where he hid the scepter, nor did he have the time or opportunity to discover it. So, after apologizing to Zorro quite sincerely, he gave Zorro a new commission.
"Get the thief out for me!" Ultron suppressed the intense anger and unwillingness in his heart and shouted.
To be honest, Ultron didn't expect Zorro to catch the thief and get the scepter back anytime soon. He just wanted to find out who the thief was, so that he could find out after dealing with what he was doing, and get revenge as much as he wanted. In addition, in fact, this kind of thing should be done by Ultron himself. It's just that considering that the Avengers are already coming this way, and Ultron's current body is not even comparable to Zorro's tungsten titanium twin blades in terms of material, no matter how picky it is, it doesn't help, he urgently needs that semi-perfect body that combines vibranium and biological tissue (after all, is there less of the gem in the scepter) to fight the Avengers. And the process of merging his "consciousness" with his new body will not take a short time, and once it starts, he will not be able to control multiple combat robots at once through the network. Then there are the "anti-gravity devices" hidden deep underground in the city center, and there are also several important nodes that he needs to clean up. He didn't have much time. Compared with these two things, finding out the identity of the thief, which has little hope of success, and which does not have much meaning for the next big event of destroying the avengers and playing the role of God to destroy mankind, Ultron chose the more important former.
As for Zorro, while his thirst for power was less than he had been at the beginning, it was based on the premise that he could ask some of the things he wanted to know from Ultron after the fusion of gems. Now that the scepter had been stolen, his anger and reluctance were not much less than those of Ultron. In contrast, being wronged by this thief again is nothing at all. So, Zorro didn't even ask Ultron what payment he had prepared for this commission, and he left directly.
Seeing off Ultron, who was in a desperate hurry to fuse his new body, Zorro began to investigate the room at the scene of the crime.
Speaking of which, Ultron has put up enough defense and alarm systems in this room, even to the point of perversion. Eight cameras on the ceiling are facing the display cabinet itself, and eight are facing the display cabinet in eight directions, including southeast, northwest, southeast, northeast, and southwest, and there have been real-time monitoring programs. In addition, for the sake of secrecy, there are no combat robots outside this room to guard. But as soon as you enter the door, you are confronted with an infrared alarm that can be said to be almost airtight. Then, the entire floor of the room, except where the display cases are located, are installed below the floor with a sensitizer. As soon as something is stepped on, even if it's just a kitten or a puppy, the alarm will be triggered. Once the alarm is triggered, two machine guns protrude from each of the four walls of the room, firing at almost all of the room's space. Later, four tubes that look like automatic fire sprinklers stick out of the ceiling, releasing an ultrasonic attack from the tip of the tube and nerve gas through a hole in the side of the tube - both "inherited" from Hydra. In addition to this, there is an important point: although the main function of the display case is to display, this is not the case in this matter. Here he was just a container, so that Ultron could place an optical stealth generator in the wooden alley beneath the main body of the glass case, the kind found on S.H.I.E.L.D.βor Hydra's stealth Quint fighters. In other words, the scepter has been invisible since it was stolen. And the glass of the display cabinet is much harder than tempered glass. To sum up, if this is not perverted enough, it is difficult for Zorro to imagine how its defenses and surveillance can be strengthened.
However, even so, the scepter was stolen.
First of all, the infrared alarm was not triggered at all, nor was the pressure sensor on the floor. In this way, it is not difficult to understand that the machine guns in the walls, the ultrasound in the ceiling, and the nerve gas are not activated. Judging from the exaggerated 16 cameras, after various investigations and verifications, Zorro determined that the surveillance video was not damaged or tampered with, but that there was really a thin guy, wearing a black robe, and not seeing his face, suddenly appeared in the center of the room without warning, on top of the display case with the logical scepter. The mysterious man appeared out of thin air, then crouched down, and with a fluid motion, he used a somewhat odd pistol-shaped weapon to make an elegant circular gap in the super-tempered glass of the display case. Eventually, he or she retracted the pistol-shaped weapon under his robes and reached into the glass opening with his or her other hand to pull the scepter out.
It was at this time that Zorro and Ultron "possessed" the battle robot that heard a sharp siren sound from the castle.
At the same time, the next moment, the other person or she disappeared from the camera with the scepter, just as he or she appeared out of thin air. From the time he or she appeared to the time he or she disappeared, he or she was in the surveillance footage for less than 25 seconds.
The first time he watched the surveillance footage, Zorro resisted. He subconsciously thought that the footage was fake. However, after much research to confirm that the video was fine, Zorro found an explanation that was worthy of this very illogical video, and may even be the truth.
For example, that guy suddenly appeared on the top of the showcase - the showcase at that time was in an optically hidden state, and the camera in normal mode could not see it, but fortunately, the infrared mode and X-ray mode of the camera were recorded, otherwise this detail was really difficult to notice. In other words, the other party should also have a pair of glasses with a special pattern, or eyes, so that it is possible to appear on the top of the display case so accurately, and with the same precision and swiftness as the old doctor using a scalpel, he can cut a gap in the glass that should be invisible, and bring out the scepter that is also invisible.
In addition, in the two moments when he or she appeared and disappeared instantly, his or her thin figure in a black robe appeared in the surveillance footage with a slight fluctuation that even Ultron's ultra-high-definition cameras could barely capture. Later, Zorro found out that it was not that it could not be captured, but that the frequency of snowflakes fluctuating like antenna TVs in the eighties and nineties was only a little bit synchronized with the frequency of the camera. And it was just that little bit that Zorro discovered this fluctuation that could almost be regarded as symbolizing spatial teleportation.
However, this did not work. Because even without this, it can be judged from other signs that it is a spatial teleportation, the only possibility. None of the key questions of where and where the teleportation came from, or whether it was with superpowers or some kind of prop, could not be answered by a fluctuation that was almost the same as Ultron's camera.
"So you came over and interrupted my merging with my new body, just to tell me this, to tell me that you have no clue?" Awakened by Zorro from the biological tissue cultivation pod, Ultron asked with a hesitant expression.
And Zorro didn't care.
"No, I have one more clue." He smiled and said, "And in order to track it down, I need you to grant me a high enough clearance." β
