Chapter 174: There is an appointment
Meng Ao shrugged his shoulders and did not continue to persuade. He can see a little bit of his character in Bruce Wayne. This is a smart, but strong-willed man. It's hard to get him to change his mind about what he decides, unless something happens in the meantime that shakes his mind.
But fortunately, Nick Fury just asked Meng Ao to visit and test it, so that such a person who has been silent for many years immediately agreed and agreed to join after receiving the invitation, maybe Nick Fury himself never thought about it that way.
Inviting these powerful free personalities, Nick Fury was ready for a long-term invitation from the start.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go back in vain this time." Meng Ao shrugged helplessly.
"I'm sorry." Bruce Wayne's face also showed a little apology, but the tone of refusal was still obvious: "But the affairs of this world have no meaning to me now." ”
"You need to be prepared to be constantly visited and disturbed. Truth be told, Nick is not a person who will give up lightly. Meng Ao reminded: "If he wants to do something, then he will do it by all means." ”
"I'm the first to visit and lobby you, but I'm sure I'll never be the last."
"I know a few things about him, and I appreciate your reminder, but I'm also not one to change my decision." Bruce Wayne said, "No matter who comes after that. ”

"Don't be so absolute. What Nick does best is change a person's mindset. The more you are known by him, the easier it is to be calculated by him. Of course, if he is a collaborator, then this calculation can be said to be well-intentioned and mutually beneficial. ”
"Do you have anything you want? Or do you like anything? Or do you need some help at some point? Meng Ao stood up, straightened his shirt and continued: "If you insist on not joining. The advice I can give you is, don't let him find out what you care about. ”
"I will." Bruce Wayne also got up and nodded to Meng Ao.
"I don't have much hope for that. Although you don't seem to lack anything, Wayne Enterprises and the city, and your old butler Alfred, you're always going to care about one, right? Gotham, once the largest Dark Zone. In recent years, it has been relatively stable, and you don't really think that it's just your other identity playing a role in it, right? Meng Ao said.
"Do you want to say that the chief is taking care of it?" Bruce Wayne smiled, "I never felt like I had the value to let him run a city for me at such a big cost." This sincerity is too great, and this is still based on the premise that he pulled me into the gang early in the morning. But the plan you showed me ......"
“…… It was clearly brought up recently. Meng Ao took Bruce Wayne's words, "I have read the full plan, and what he gave me is very detailed and comprehensive. Although the plan is just a plan, it may not be of any use at the critical moment, but it can be seen. This thought was not his last flash of inspiration. ”
He must have had the idea in his heart for a long time, just waiting for an opportunity to put it into practice. Now that he has taken it out, he thinks the time is ripe for success recently. It's hard to say when he started planning and laying out this plan. ”
"I'm a little flattered by that." Bruce Wayne said calmly.
"If he thinks you're worth his effort, he'll do it without hesitation. Not to mention, curtailing some troublesome incidents in the dark zone is also one of the responsibilities of his field. Meng Ao said. I felt like he was a little bit stressed, so he was a little picky in the first group of players. ”
"Except for you and me. Tony Stark of Stark Enterprises was also invited. There is also the famous symbol, Captain America Steve Rogers, who has just woken up. Just from the membership. This is not a team that is easy to control, and it can even be said that it is impossible to be controlled by someone. ”
"Whether it's Tony Stark, or Steve Rodgers, or you and me, they're not the kind of people who bow down to people and do whatever they say. It is very difficult for him to force us to do what he wants. And he could have formed a team that listened to him. ”
After Meng Ao finished speaking, he looked at Bruce Wayne and asked, "Why?" What is he doing to gather a bunch of uncontrolled thorns as his subordinates, or even to form them into a team? Would you want a group of people who are capable but thorny and always ignore your orders as subordinates? ”
"You want to say that he doesn't want an obedient team?" Bruce Wayne asked with some interest.
You can say the same. He wants a strong team that won't listen to anyone's orders at first. Meng Ao repeated: "It's anyone." ”
"Sounds like he's in trouble." Bruce Wayne quickly picked up something from Meng Ao's words.
"I don't know if you've heard of a Hydra Hydra organization." Meng Ao said.
"I've heard of it, but that's a long way off. It, along with the Nazi Survival and Downfall, was the landmark event that brought Captain America Steve Rogers to the altar. Bruce Wayne replied with great responsiveness.
"It's the same as Captain America, it's still there. I'm guessing Nick is having a headache and a crisis over this. "I don't know all of his plans, but before he showed me the plan, he had said something cryptic to me and Tony Stark in private. It's hard to say if he's preparing for a future moment or not. ”
"He's becoming sensitive now, and he doesn't trust much of anyone except a few. Or so he used to be, but his suspicion has become heavier lately. ”
"What does this have to do with me?" Bruce Wayne was a little baffled.
"You have the ability, he likes you, I don't know how he thinks you are credible, but since he asked me to come, I will definitely not give up lightly to you. Your identity and the Wayne Enterprise in your hands are also a help that he can rely on at any time. Meng Ao said.
"How many of us are the candidates?" Bruce Wayne asked helplessly.
"There are also some henchmen who he thinks are credible, and a mutated little insect who has been observing for a long time and has a strong sense of justice." Meng Ao said, pointing at himself with one hand and then at Bruce Wayne: "A few of us should be uncontrollable 'thorns'." ”
"Don't include me." Bruce Wayne waved his hand.
"I've pretty much said what I need to say. Next time, it could be that he had commissioned someone else, or it could be himself. You have to be mentally prepared. Meng Ao smiled: "He is much more difficult than a dog skin plaster." ”
"I'll figure out a good idea." Bruce Wayne nodded, "But I think you're unfounded, I can't imagine he's been watching me and a certain layout since a few years ago." ”
"He cares about a freelance superhero who is out of control. If it weren't for your identity being too sensitive and powerful, maybe he would have met with you and invited you to join S.H.I.E.L.D. After Meng Ao detoured to the chair, he gently patted the back of the chair with his hand. Then he said, "He asked me to give you a heads-up." ”
"What?" Bruce Wayne looked at Meng Ao.
"You've got a beautiful little wild cat in your house who likes to steal things." Meng Ao said.
"What's this reminder?" Bruce Wayne glared.
"And he told me that." Meng Ao spread his hands: "I'm just paraphrasing it, to ensure that every word is missed." ”
"Pretending to be lost?" Bruce Wayne asked.
"Maybe. Nick has always been unpredictable about his mind. This sentence may be a trick on his part, but it is also very likely that it is really a kind and important reminder. "But don't worry, even if something happens, when you need help the most, maybe he will appear to you like a savior." ”
"Maybe that's when you'll actually meet." Meng Ao rolled his eyes and said: "Whether you like it or not, he is the most outstanding and the best among the people I have ever met in terms of timing and speculation and grasp of people's hearts!" When he wants to woo someone. Again, as I said before, he always has a variety of methods. ”
"I'll take notice." Bruce Wayne nodded.
"Goodbye then." Meng Ao took two steps closer and held out his hand to Bruce Wayne to say goodbye.
"Just to meet me?" Bruce Wayne shook the hand that Meng Ao handed him, "Why don't you stay for dinner?" ”
"There's another appointment." Meng Ao said.
"Goodbye then." Bruce Wayne let go of Meng Ao's hand and said goodbye.
After taking two steps in the direction of the door, Meng Ao suddenly turned around and held up a finger in front of him. While retreating in the direction of the door, he looked at Bruce Wayne, who looked inquiring, and said, "A little building before leaving." If you want Batman to come back to the ground, try to find a different way to hide your identity. ”
"How?" Bruce Wayne asked with a smile.
"The best way to hide a grain of sand is to put it in a desert; If you want to hide a drop of water, there's no better way to throw it into the ocean. You'll have to get a couple of helpers to help you. A single-handed hero is the most inefficient hero. ”
Meng Ao held the doorknob and paused. "You have the power and resources to change this city, but you're only using your own force to punish some evils. But sin is endless. You can eradicate the great evils that threaten the city, but you don't have time to pay attention to the other evils of the city. ”
"But if you ignore the evil below, it will one day grow into a new evil."
"Maybe the city used to need a hero to cheer him up and awaken, but now. What it needs more is not a Batman of two, but the heir to Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne, who can make it better. ”
"I can't do what you do, but what I'm better than you now is that I'm not tired of this world, I'm not tired of it, and it still has the meaning of existence in my eyes."
"Finally, goodbye."
The door was closed from the outside by Meng Ao, who had left, leaving Bruce Wayne standing quietly inside.
……
Helicopter.
"He refused." Meng Ao, who was wearing headphones, said to Nick Fury on the other side.
In a speeding car, Nick Fury held the steering wheel with one hand and replied, "Wasn't it expected?" ”
"It's not like Nick, he's very determined. If you have watched him for so long and collected so much information about him since he was a child, you will definitely understand what kind of person he is. Once a decision is made, it is very difficult for him to be reversed and changed. After giving Nick a little bit of what he had said about his conversation with Bruce Wayne, he said very seriously.
"It's man-made." Nick Fury said.
"You seem to be confident?" Meng Ao groaned.
"You always have to have some confidence in doing things, even if there are setbacks everywhere along the way." Nick Fury picked up and said, "Thanks for the temptation, you can be busy with you." ”
"I like your last sentence."
……
A private hospital in New York.
This hospital is affiliated with Victor von Doom.
"Rhett? Hello. Dr. Ral looked at Rhett Richards, who walked into the ward, and walked towards him with a medical notebook: "You came to see Susan?" ”
"Hello Ral." Rhett Richards responded to Dr. Lal's words with some dryness and nervousness, looked at the beautiful woman lying on the hospital bed, turned his head to Dr. Lal who walked up to him and asked nervously, "How is she?" ”
Dr. Ral looked up and saw that the medical record in his hand had been taken away by the eager Rhett Richards, and he looked at it in his hand, he rolled his eyes, crossed his hands on his waist, and replied helplessly: "Steady dìng, and the life index is also very strong." A complete blood count shows no irradiation. ”
"Okay." Rhett Richards said as he flipped through the medical records in his hand, and at the end he cautiously asked, "You come and check if these records are every ......?"
"Every four hours, yes." Dr. Lal quickly took Rhett Richards' words, the helplessness on his face and the coping in his tone showed that this was not the first time Rhett-Spread had asked this kind of question, and it was not the first time he had answered this question.
Rhett Richards' nervousness left Dr. Rahr feeling powerless.
Retrieving the case and test sheet from Rhett Richards' hand, Dr. Rahr looked at Rhett and said, "We know what we're doing and how we're going to do it." ”
"I'm sorry." Rhett Richards clearly understood from the other party's demeanor and tone that he was a little too nervous, and he said apologetically to the doctor.
"No need to apologize, you're nervous about her." Dr. Lal tilted his head towards Susan Storm on the bed, "One more day of observation, and you'll all be discharged." Don't worry and be nervous. (To be continued......)
