Dazzling incandescent lights lit up one after another, extremely regular footsteps resounded in the cold metal corridor, and the nameplate on the chest of a middle-aged blonde woman in a suit read the position of "Experimental Area Director".

She entered the elevator with a heavy face, and asked the subordinates behind her in the elevator, "Why did Subject B1263 escape from prison?" I have to give an account to the above! ”

"Sorry, Director, our agents are still investigating, and there is tentative suspicion that the use of a low-security hibernation chamber may have caused the incompleteness of the dormancy ......"

"Don't let me remind you again!" The female supervisor gritted her teeth and said viciously: "We must make sure that this kind of thing does not enter the public eye, otherwise everyone's careers here will be ruined!" ”

As soon as they got out of the elevator, a younger female secretary approached, handed a report to the female supervisor, and followed her as she walked briskly and said, "The director is coming to inspect, and he told us to prepare in advance and pack everything." ”

"When is he coming?" The director asked without looking back.

"Now."

"Ah!!!!h

Screams came from underground, and the security personnel behind them rushed towards the staircase, and the director stopped, and the pattern of the wheel hub gradually appeared in the dark pupils.

The wheels stopped spinning, bringing up fine dust, and the black S.H.I.E.L.D. office vehicle stopped in front of the base, and Schiller and Nick stepped off the sides of the car.

Security personnel got out of another car and followed them, and Nick pushed his sunglasses and said, "There are some high-risk experiments piled up here, I hope they haven't made too much of a mess about this." ”

"High-risk test subjects? You didn't put them out to fight the heroes? ”

"This can't be released." Nick gently pulled his sunglasses down a little, looked at Schiller from above, and said, "High risk means that even for Captain America this thing is dangerous. ”

They walked briskly through the gate, and Nick explained as he strode forward.

"We need to give the superheroes jobs so that they can get the logistics, but we can't really hurt them in any way or jeopardize their spirits, so their opponents have to be carefully selected."

"Of course, it can't be too difficult, the military and Congress are not stupid, they can still see whether a battle is tragic or not, but the difficulty can't be too high, it's okay to be physically injured, in case it hits confidence."

"All superheroes, including members of the Avengers, actually have their strengths and weaknesses, and some monsters are created to target their weaknesses too much, and if the timing is right, they may cause serious harm to them, which will also be classified as failures and then destroyed."

"We label the successful experiments according to the different strengths of superheroes, and enter their field of vision in a reasonable way in their leisure time, which not only provides financial security for S.H.I.E.L.D., but also hone their martial arts, so that they will not lose their vigilance."

"There is no hierarchy of failed experiments, but any experiment that is not destroyed immediately has its own problems, at least for superheroes, and when they are stored in a crowded warehouse, the danger is greatly increased."

"That's why I need you to help me solve this problem, you know, if it weren't for the urgency, I wouldn't be willing to tolerate your lion's big mouth."

As soon as he entered the elevator, Nick heard a subtle zig-la, "pop", and the lights in the elevator went out.

Schiller suddenly looked up at the elevator, a black shadow flashed, and a thick gray mist enveloped the elevator, so that the elevator did not fall immediately when the power was cut off and the protective device did not work, but slowly stopped on the fourth floor of the basement.

"Something is coming out." Nick tentatively stepped out of the elevator, looked left and right in the dark hallway, and said, "I hope it's not the group of things that start with B." ”

"What's so special about that?" Schiller also stepped out of the elevator and asked.

"The experiments at the beginning of B are very special, they are mostly incorporeal, but they can affect humans in a special way, in short, they are ghosts."

Schiller's eyes widened slightly, and Nick looked at him in the dark and said, "Don't make such a fuss, everyone has a soul, why can't there be a ghost?" ”

"And Tony did a lot of research on it, and then he found out that from a scientific point of view, a ghost is a kind of radio wave, and so is the human soul."

"Usually we create a powerful electromagnetic field to smash failed ghost experiments, but some of them have special wavelengths, so we temporarily trap them and use the power of the sun to destroy them."

"In other words, there's a good chance that an evil spirit has escaped?"

"Depends on whom." Although Nick didn't show nervousness, he still pulled out a gun from behind him and said, "This thing is a special attack for superheroes who are only good at physical combat, and it is also for those who are timid, but for you...... Are you afraid of ghosts? ”

Schiller turned and walked to the end of the corridor and said, "The only ghost I am afraid of in this world is the poor ghost. ”

"You can just say you're afraid of me."

Nick walked slowly behind Schiller to the end of the hallway, and as soon as he turned a corner, Schiller saw the female supervisor and security personnel who had passed out on the ground.

Schiller walked over and sniffed out, and when he saw that the man was still alive, he turned to look at Nick and said, "Won't ghosts kill people?" ”

"You need to match the wavelengths." Nick explained it a little and said, "To put it simply, the more scared you are, the more similar the wavelength of your brain waves will be to that of a ghost, and the easier it will be for a ghost to control your brain waves. ”

"But if you don't believe it at all, you can't kill unless the ghost is strong enough to directly collapse the ceiling and smash people to death."

Nick glanced down at his subordinates and said, "The people who work here know the details of these monsters, but they are just experiments, they are not very afraid, they are not easy to control, so they just fainted." ”

Schiller was surprised, stood up again, and said, "But ghosts can kill people, right?" ”

Nicol nodded and said, "So don't be friends with those who are timid but die, and if you don't believe it, you will firmly disbelieve, then a hundred ghosts will not invade." ”

Suddenly, Schiller looked back at what looked like the end of the dark corridor, where a small dark figure appeared, like a little boy holding something.

Nick looked back and said, "Is there anything there?" I'm not afraid of this thing at all, so I can't see clearly. ”

"There's a little boy." Schiller frowned and said, "You also catch such a young child?" It's a moral depravity. ”

"Please, they're ghosts, if S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't captured them back to recharge them, they'd have dissipated long ago."

"How did you imprison them?"

"Magical energy, or radio waves of a specific wavelength."

Schiller instantly dispersed into a cloud of gray mist, and the kid ran away when he saw that the situation was not good, but in the end he was caught by Schiller.

Nick took off his sunglasses and said, "Ghosts and souls are completely different things, although most ghosts are created by souls for some reason, you can understand that they go bad the moment they become ghosts, so hell doesn't want this thing." ”

"Normally, ghosts will dissipate when they run out of energy and go to the realm of the dead, but when we capture them back and charge them with a full charge, or even overcharge, some of them will undergo further mutations, become more powerful, and some can even affect the real world."

Schiller looked at the ghost trapped between the energy shields created by the gray mist, it was a little boy with bloodied eyes, holding a man's head in his hands, his whole body was translucent, not very bloody, but a little weird.

Nick went on to explain: "When some humans die, their brain waves become abnormal, which can turn their souls into ghosts, and there are many factors that make brain waves abnormal, such as intense emotions, the earth's magnetic field, the influence of surrounding brain waves, etc., anyway, that's how Tony explained. ”

"So how am I going to take these things across the universe?" Schiller asked a very practical question, and he said, "It's impossible to lead them through the portal one by one with a rope, right?" ”

"Of course not, come with me, there are cans and bottles in the ground dedicated to storing them." Nick leads the way underground, while Schiller follows him with the ghost of a young boy caught by the gray mist.

Soon they reached the lowest level, where Schiller saw thousands of cylindrical cans and bottles in the huge underground space known as the Experiment Containment Warehouse, which contained all sorts of monsters.

"You can use that mysterious mist to store everything here, as long as you don't change the traits and structure, and then you go through the portal and throw everything into that universe."

"Are you sure zombies eat these things?" Schiller looked up at the monsters floating in the cans and bottles on the high shelves.

"Otherwise, let them eat the zombies." Nick turned, then walked backwards, looked at Schiller and said, "We just put another bunch of monsters in a world full of monsters, and neither of them deserves sympathy." ”

"No, at least one more." Schiller said, looking at Nick.

Nick paused, and seeing Schiller's expression, he scratched his head and said, "Your mysterious prophetic abilities again?" ”

"Haven't you seen the specifics of those two worlds?"

"I've only seen a little bit, but it's too much like the plasma film on the Midnight Channel, and honestly, you won't be interested in them if you've seen them eat."

"You don't want to save anyone there?"

"Is there any point in saving them?" Nick shook his head and said, "It's a pity to be infected by the zombie virus, but there are so many tragedies that have happened in the multiverse that we can't save every one of them. ”

"Although I know that you hope to create more possibilities for other universes as well, we should save those who are easy to save first, and wait until we gather more strength to do these difficult things, and we can save some effort."

"And what about your little lamb?"

"I'm pretty sure the Spider-Man of this universe has also become a zombie." Nick shook his head, sighed, and said, "I just didn't want to watch it when I saw him eat his aunt and girlfriend, and it's not his fault, but even if I get him back to his senses, he'll be completely broken because of this." ”

"Instead of letting him face the truth and feel self-blame and pain, it is better to let him go crazy forever." Nick pursed his lips and said, "There's no responsibility that Spider-Man has to bear, but he always thinks so." ”

"It's rare for you to say a few words." Schiller shook his head and said, "But recently I have learned a truth, Spider-Man is much stronger than you think, and facing the dark truth will not break them, it will only make them stronger." ”

"Are you going to save him?"

"He's going to save himself, and he's going to save the world, again."
