Chapter 171: Response
The world is inherently unfair. After experiencing an illusory world, Edward gained a deeper understanding of this sentence. Pull the collective unconscious with one's own thoughts, and guide the world constructed by the deeper forces of this world. Theoretically, the opportunity is equal for every human being on the planet. But in fact, 99 percent of the people did not awaken from the beginning of the world to the end of the world.
A person who has not awakened is like an actor in a movie, who will follow the life trajectory outlined by the screenwriter and interpret it little by little, and it will not change. It's like a small fish flowing down the river of fate, ordinary and overflowing. Edward didn't need it.
Compared with these ordinary people, those awakened, variables, and outliers, these awakened people who remember themselves are like uncertainties in fate, disrupting the trajectory and jumping out of fate. These were the people Edward himself expected. Because they will bring variables to Edward, bring possibilities, and let him see other paths.
Compared with those ordinary people in reality, mutants, superpowers, world patrons, etc., the special individuals in the human race have a much greater chance of awakening in the illusory world!
For this part of the people, Edward, who came from a previous life, prefers to call them the protagonists! Like Peter in front of you? Parker.
"The main character." Looking at Peter, who was constantly changing in front of him, Edward's eyes flashed: "Maybe these wild protagonists should provide them with a more suitable environment to grow up." ”
Since coming to this world, Edward's attitude towards the protagonist has been a kind of natural. There was no underdogging, and certainly not too much attention. But in this situation, he felt that he still had to take some action.
"Doesn't it mean that ** silk counterattacks, and then seconds of air is what the protagonist should do? In this case, you should do your part. ”
……
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, upstairs in the top floor conference room.
The decoration of the large hall was very simple, except for a few potted plants, not even a table, no chairs. Under the huge translucent glass windows, the whole hall is very light and very bright. However, at this time, the atmosphere in this spacious conference room was a little oppressive.
In the center of the hall, Nick, dressed in a black trench coat, looked blankly at the illusory hall screen in the center, where the images of Peter and Edward were playing. Whether the two are in a café or on the street, naturally the conversation between the two is also heard clearly.
As for his actions, Nick is not the least worried. After all, his current surveillance behavior can be regarded as having the permission of the master's family to a certain extent. After all, judging by Edward's various performances, he didn't believe that his surveillance behavior was not known to the other party.
"Maybe the other party doesn't care at all." There was bitterness underneath Nick's expressionless face. I don't know when S.H.I.E.L.D. had to be so cautious, and the other party didn't take it seriously at all.
"Nick, this is the player you chose." On the black wall behind Nick, eight screens showed eight figures, also looking at the projection in mid-air. It was the hook-nosed white old man in the center who spoke, and at this moment the old man's face was full of dissatisfaction: "A soldier with his own mind, I don't think he will be a qualified soldier, Nick." ”
The white old man's face was pale, but his face was full of resolute expression, and even from the outside of the projection screen, he could feel a breath of iron and blood, and there was a sonorous sound of metal colliding when he spoke. The person in the picture is a general, so naturally he will not agree with Peter's statement of such a "personality" at all, and even extremely repulsive, thinking of the next plan, I can't help but question Nick's choice in my heart!
Turning back, Nick's calm eyes swept over the eight old men on the screen.
"Mr. Commissioner, mere superhuman strength does not make an Avenger. In addition to this, they should also be responsible and persistent. Nick's remaining eyes were fixed on Peter, who had become more determined on the big screen, and replied in a deep voice, "And these are destined for their unique qualities." ”
Perhaps in the past, Nick hoped to find obedient subordinates, soldiers who would obey orders. But now he doesn't think so, how can he not understand the changes that will take place in the world now. In the coming time, S.H.I.E.L.D. will not only face challenges, but also seize opportunities!
And if you want to seize the opportunity, a one-of-a-kind superhero will be the best choice! So he won't have any possibility of compromising on his team selection!
"Nick, the committee will not interfere with your choice. However, we want to make sure of the results! Another member of the committee said to Nick: "The committee has invested a lot of resources in the hope of seeing the desired outcome. And obviously, Nick, you didn't do it. The Committee is not satisfied with this. ”
The affairs of the illusory world are not a secret to them at all, and they also know the results of the end of the natural world, and the performance of S.H.I.E.L.D. in this incident is not satisfactory. After all, the final fruits were harvested by others, and S.H.I.E.L.D. played the role of soy sauce in it.
"Of course, that's what the Avengers are all about." Nick's face remained unchanged. As if the Committee's questioning had no effect on him at all.
"Nick, the committee will not accept a second defeat." After leaving a threatening word, the eight voices on the screen then disappeared.
Nick stared at the fading wall screen, his eyes flickering, "It seems that the formation of the Avengers will be completed as soon as possible." ”
……
Old manor house with green trees.
Compared to New York, which has been flooded with heavy snow, this southerly inclined area is still full of greenery. Aside from a slight drop in temperature, the arrival of winter doesn't seem to have much of an impact here.
In the conference room of the ancient manor, next to the luxurious wooden round table, the four old men looked at the majestic young man on the main seat with twinkling eyes. Even with the state of mind of the four of them who have experienced the world, they can't help but feel fluctuated at this time.
"Is that what he does?"
"Strength, knowledge, and immortality arouse the deepest desires of man's heart, and place himself in the midst of the surging momentum, and anything that stands in his way will be crushed."
The four old men looked at the young man in front of him who exuded infinite energy all over his body, and he couldn't calm down in his heart. Not long ago, a dying old man like them had become the strong young man he was now in the blink of an eye, and he had mastered extraordinary abilities. How can they remain calm.
"We need to register the Superpowers Act."
"To set up the Academy of Superpowers, the new superpowers need to be guided, and we also need to obtain relevant information and data."
"By recruiting superpowers, we can provide an opportunity for those 'isolated kinds' to find employment."
"We need an elite team of world raiders to provide us with the most accurate intelligence analysis."
……
Opinions are constantly being put forward, and these suggestions or orders about superpowers will naturally be perfected and implemented by special people. The four never doubted that their orders would be carried out firmly, because they were behind the control of the country.
Monitor, co-opt, use for me. As long as the order of this world is not completely overturned, these means are completely handy for them.
Either way, the world has changed. (To be continued.) )
