Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hidden Dangers of Superpowers
"I have to say, Agent Coulson, your base is really good, although it is a little smaller, but it has all the organs, everything it should have!" Danny sat on the couch, sipping his coffee and complimenting Coulson across from him.
Coulson smiled: "This is just a research institute affiliated to us, the level is not high, if you want to go and see the real base, I can apply to take you over to see it." ”
"Forget it! Your S.H.I.E.L.D. is so mysterious, although we are in a cooperative relationship, it is better to keep a little distance from each other, and you and I don't know, if I really go there, unless I join S.H.I.E.L.D., can I still come out? ”
Danny directly debunked Coulson's trick, since the last time Danny and Coulson confirmed their cooperation, it may be that Danny's performance in that conversation was too bright, Coulson has been trying to get Danny and them to join S.H.I.E.L.D. recently.
Although he was rejected by Danny several times, Coulson did not give up easily, often saying some benefits of S.H.I.E.L.D., and wanted to "seduce" Danny and several others to take the initiative to "surrender".
After Coulson's last visit, Danny and the others met Coulson once or twice, and the two sides talked about some cooperation and learned more about each other. Other than that, that's for today.
Early in the morning, Danny and Andrew were brought to this institute by Coulson, according to Coulson, this institute has a certain relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., and is affiliated with it, but the level is not high.
In order to inspect and study Danny and them as soon as possible, and Danny and his family were reluctant to leave Seattle, Coulson had to try his best to simply transform this institute and airlift the researchers and some special equipment, which were not ready until today.
Danny had high expectations for this examination, and he had always had a sense of crisis in his heart about the magic crystal and superpowers, but he couldn't detect anything himself.
Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. is willing to help Danny and them, although their purpose is not pure, it doesn't matter for now, if S.H.I.E.L.D. really has that ability to study superpowers thoroughly, Danny thinks it's better.
You know, Danny has always felt that the most terrible thing in the world is the unknown, because in the face of the unknown, no matter what you try to do, what kind of effort you make, you may die in the next moment.
Superpowers give Danny a lot of power, giving him the power to protect his own survival, but if that power itself contains unknown dangers, it would be a real disaster.
So as soon as Danny arrived at the institute, he couldn't wait to be the first to conduct an inspection, and the whole process was nothing special, anyway, he completely obeyed the orders of the researchers, and it took two hours to complete all the inspection items.
Danny, who had completed the check, was bored and had been waiting for Andrew for more than an hour. That's why Danny sits on the couch and chats with Agent Coulson.
Danny was thinking about how long Andrew had left, when he heard Steve's voice outside: "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to check my body, and I feel more tired from going to bed with a woman." ”
Steve walked in with a tired look on his face, saw Danny sitting leisurely on the sofa, and hurriedly ran over to find a place, lying directly on the sofa, and then exhaled deeply: "I think I need a bag of leaves now, Danny, did you bring it?" ”
Seeing Steve say this in front of Coulson without any scruples, Danny also felt very embarrassed, although S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't care about this, but it still felt awkward to be so blatantly in front of an agent.
"You'd better rest for a while! Andrew: It's going to take a while! Get some sleep and relax. "Danny doesn't always have the leaves with him, where to find them at this time.
Hearing that there were no leaves, Steve pursed his lips in disappointment, didn't say anything, closed his eyes and began to rest.
Time passed quickly, and while Danny and Coulson were chatting with each other, Matt and Andrew had also completed the examination, both of them looked sluggish, and began to close their eyes and regain their energy without saying anything.
At first, Coulson said that Danny was not interested in the benefits, benefits, and strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., and that it was okay to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D., BUT joining S.H.I.E.L.D. was muddy and muddy, and Danny was unwilling.
But then Coulson began to talk about some of the strange things he had seen in the course of his mission. This completely attracted Danny, and just as Danny's interest was getting higher and higher, an uncle with a big beard and a bald head walked in.
When Coulson saw this person, he hurriedly stood up and introduced to Danny: "Everyone, get to know Dr. John O'Keeffe, a famous biological scientist, a professor in the Department of Human Studies and the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London. He has studied the human brain very deeply, and is famous for discovering the cells that make up the GPS positioning system of the brain. He is our special guest expert who has come from New York to work on your inspection and research project. ”
Danny hurriedly pulled Andrew, who was still resting, and shook hands with the bald uncle, Dr. John O'Keeffe, which was considered to be a acquaintance.
Dr. John O'Keeffe is not very old, but his face looks a little pale because he stays in the laboratory all year round to do research, but his large beard is very clean and neat, unlike the raunchy scientists seen in film and television works.
"It just so happens that you are all here, I came here to get to know you first, and then to tell you that all the inspection items have been completed, and we have come to several more important results according to some inspection data, which can be told to you first."
Dr. John O'Keeffe's voice was relatively simple, and he pronounced words quickly but clearly, and Danny understood them, and everyone's attention was focused at once, after all, it was about themselves.
"We've carefully studied the footage you provided and confirmed that you were all activated by that magical crystal, which is in line with your original suspicions, but we don't have any more information at the moment, so we can't figure out how it works." Dr. John pulls out a tablet, which contains a video footage that Andrew had given to Agent Coulson, a cut version of course.
"We have done a more comprehensive physical examination of you this time, and first of all, we want to congratulate you, there is nothing wrong with your body, you are very healthy. Compared with some of your previous data, the body has become stronger, of course, this strength is very limited, but there is a certain increase in physical strength, endurance, and strength. Dr. John continued.
There is a certain degree of strengthening in the body, which is unexpected to Danny, who usually does not feel it at all, and it seems that it is indeed as Dr. John said, the range of enhancement is limited, Danny thought to himself.
Dr. John raised two fingers and said, "The second point is the analysis of your superpowers, due to time constraints, we haven't studied more results, but from the data, this superpower is similar to the legendary telekinesis, which can control, move, fly and other functions.
When using superpowers, the active value of brain waves is much higher than that of ordinary humans, so I guess that this ability is generated by the brain, and then you lock on to a certain target, establish a connection with the energy in the target, and then you can control and move the target. ”
Steve originally listened to it with great relish, but when he heard this, he was a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Doctor, I understand the mental power you said, but the goals you talked about, energy, this is a bit strange!" ”
Dr. John heard Steve's question and replied, "Let me tell you in detail, according to research, there is energy in everything in the universe, as big as a star, as small as a speck of dust on the earth, these energies exist not only in everything, but even in the air, but although this energy is everywhere, there are few ways to use them.
And you are different, after being affected by the magic crystal, your spiritual power is not only greatly enhanced, but also has a special attribute, which can also be called ability, when you want to use superpowers, first of all, your spiritual power is connected with the natural energy of the target, and then you control the target with this connection.
It's a pity that although your mental power is strong, it seems that there is only one characteristic at all, and it is speculated that when people's mental power is strong to a certain extent, it will be possible to awaken the ability of mind control, which is an even more powerful superpower. ”
"Mind control? Doctor, you mean that the ability to control other people's thoughts, why can't we wake up? Matt asked curiously.
"I don't know the specific reason, it seems that your spiritual power is only the quality of communicating natural energy, and the rest is the same as the spiritual power of ordinary people. And there is a more serious problem, and I have to give you a reminder. Dr. John said suddenly, solemnly.
"It seems that your ability is not as strong as mind control, just simply communicating natural energy and then controlling, but your mental power is growing extremely fast, according to observation, from the time you get the superpower to now, it has not been more than 100 days, but the mental power has increased by nearly 100 times, almost doubling the speed every day, it is really incredible."
"Huh! What is this? Is empowerment a bad thing? Steve said with a smile.
Dr. John looked at Steve and snapped, "Enhancement is not a bad thing, but it is dangerous to enhance too quickly, you think you can continue to enhance endlessly?" When you reach a tipping point where your bodies and brains can't afford it, 'Bang! Your heads will explode like cannonballs. ”
Hearing what Dr. John said was so terrible, Steve's face turned white with fright, Andrew and Matt couldn't speak, and even Danny didn't expect such a situation.
The original plot didn't say this at all, and at that time, Danny thought that the speed at which this ability became stronger was too fast, and in just a few months, Andrew was able to beat the army alone.
But what he didn't expect was that the fast growth rate was so dangerous, and Danny felt that Dr. John should be right, how could there be no hidden dangers in this kind of power that easily grows so fast.
