Chapter 359: The Tormented Colonel Fleg
Half a month after the Midway attack, Colonel Rick Flaige, who had left Amanda and returned to the army, was reassigned to Sweet Dreams Prison by a paper order.
The special officers who thought they were out of the sea of suffering were naturally very resistant.
But after all, his arms can't twist his thighs, and the order from the Pentagon is not something he can refuse.
Before leaving, Rick's boss saw his sad face and revealed a little inside information.
Ms. Amanda Waller, an agent of the American government, a senior member of the Celestial Eye Society dealing with transhuman things, the warden of the Sweet Dream Prison, and the project leader of Task Force X, ββββ.
Due to health reasons, he resigned from all positions.
His successor named Rick to be the commander of Task Force X.
Hearing the news of Amanda's resignation, the special officers were still a little happy, as long as he didn't work with this ruthless woman, then he could accept to return to the task force.
At the same time, Rick is also a little curious about the mysterious successor.
What kind of talent can convince the generals of the Pentagon to succeed Amanda in such an important position.
Rick arrived in the parish of Taylorborn, Louisiana, on a transport plane that had come to pick him up.
Bordering the Gulf of Mexico, it is a deserted and remote area of marshland for several kilometers.
This is where Bellev, or 'Sweet Dreams', is commonly known.
The plane eventually landed at a small airfield in the prison area, where the task force departed for Midway.
Revisiting the old place, Rick didn't have any deep feelings, as a special soldier, he was used to doing missions in various regions.
The only feeling is that there are a lot more guards here than before.
Under the watchful eye of many open and secret sentinels, Rick followed the guards in front of him and entered the administrative building of Sweet Dream Prison.
Take the elevator to the top floor, where there is only one room, which is the warden's office.
Looking at the huge and luxurious red copper gate in front of him, Rick's heart twitched a few times inexplicably, and he didn't know if it was because of nervousness or something else.
Then, he couldn't help but smile, his face didn't change when he saw the president more than ten days ago, but he didn't expect to be nervous when he saw a new boss now.
Take a deep breath and stretch out your hands to push open the heavy door.
"Navy SEAL Special Colonel, Rick Flegg reports to you!"
Rick didn't squint, looked in the direction of his desk, and walked straight over to the man behind him.
The man stopped the pen in his hand and looked up at him: "Colonel, long time no see." β
Rick looked at the familiar face and said in surprise, "Cui... Trist? How did you end up here? β
"Invincible Begins with Sacrificing to the Ancestors"
Lu Wu smiled and motioned for him to sit down first: "Why can't I be here?" β
"After the last incident, you have eaten and drunk spicy food, and you still won't let me have some soup to drink?"
Rick, who met an acquaintance, was no longer so reserved, and sat casually in the chair next to him.
"Absolutely, I'm just a little surprised."
"However, you are not just drinking soup, and now that you have become my top boss, in a few years, won't you call you Mr. Councilor?"
Lu Wu waved his hand: "It's small, the pattern is small." β
"It should be Mr. President."
Suddenly, the two couldn't help but let out a cheerful laugh.
Rick swept away the gloom when he first came, and became very talkative, his sense of Lu Wu is still good, especially since they have experienced life and death together, which can be regarded as a fateful friendship.
Working under Lu Wu, at least he won't be wronged, and maybe he can live very comfortably.
"Then congratulations on your ascension, Mr. Warden."
"Where, where." Lu Wu said modestly: "You also know the specific situation, it's all everyone's credit, I'm just a little luckier." β
When Rick heard this, he complimented him a few more words one after another,
He still understands this bit of human affection, although the relationship between the two is good (he thinks it himself), but the relationship between superiors and subordinates must also be clear, otherwise it is easy to have problems.
When the atmosphere between the two became extremely harmonious, Rick got down to business.
"Asked me to come back this time, do you want to re-assemble Task Force X?"
Lu Wu nodded: "I found that the circus is very easy to use, and it is very suitable for doing some dirty work." β
"Anyway, there are so many superhuman criminals who are locked up in Sweet Dreams every year, and they are locked up, so it's better to use the waste, and it can be regarded as worthy of the funds that the government allocates to us every year."
"So, we're not just going to rebuild Task Force X, we're going to expand it."
Rick pondered: "The task force is easy to manage, but how to deal with the relevant supporting facilities, it was only with nano bombs and dozens of special soldiers to suppress that group of villains." β
"You know, I don't even have anyone I can trust right now."
"If those villains rebel, I can't blow them all up."
"It's a pity that Hallie and Killer Crocodile were released from prison, otherwise they would have come to my aid."
When Lu Wu heard about the difficulties of the special officers, he handed him a stack of papers.
"I've thought of everything you've said."
"The above means that you want people to give people, and you want things to give things, as long as you can complete the next task."
"And, I've already contacted Harley and Killer Crocodile, and they're willing to come back and help you."
"Really?" Rick was ecstatic, and with the skew in resources, his work was much easier.
Then, he flipped through the papers in his hand.
"Is this the next task for the task force?"
"Mother Box, Victor Stone, Amazon, Atlantis, Steppenwolf?"
"I can't understand what it's all about."
Lu Wu showed a kind smile to the special officer who was about to take the set: "It's okay if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you in detail later." β
"Next, I'll have to introduce you to the other two members of our team."
Rick put down the papers, looked up and asked, "Who?" β
"My personal bodyguard, Katana, come and say hello to the colonel." Lu Wu smiled and looked behind the special officer.
Rick hurriedly turned around and saw the katana standing behind him.
The Japanese lady pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword, bowed to him, and said, "Colonel Fleg, it's a pleasure to see you again." β
Rick asked in surprise, "Have you been here all along?" In the room? β
Katana nodded: "Yes, all the time." β
Rick carefully recalled the scene when he had just entered, and confirmed that he had not seen even half a figure.
So, I couldn't help but sigh: "You ninjas are really elusive." β
Katana didn't speak, and silently came to stand behind Lu Wu's seat.
Lu Wu's face was full of joy and joy at the moment, and he got up and said excitedly: "Next is the soul of our team, who is also my personal secretary. β
"With her, the difficulties we encounter in the future will no longer be difficulties."
"She's Dr. ββββ Joan Muon!"
As soon as these words came out, Rick immediately couldn't sit still, and shouted excitedly, "What did you say? β
"Joan, she's still alive?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a sudden black gas rise from the office floor, and bright sparks flew everywhere.
In the next second, a beautiful lady dressed in a professional suit and stepping on high heels walked out of the black air.
"Joan, you're really alive!" Rick's mind was completely confused, and he didn't realize what the scene just now represented, so he immediately walked over and wanted to hug his girlfriend affectionately.
As a result, Dr. Muun, whose face was like frost, disappeared directly in place, causing him to pounce.
Finally, this familiar scene reminded Rick of some bad things.
"You're a witch? You're not dead at all! β
βBinGooοΌβ Lu Wu hugged the reappeared witch: "Congratulations, you got it right!" It's a pity that there are no rewards. β
Rick looked at the two of them in disbelief: "Impossible, how could it be?" β
"Your heart has been ruined by me."
The witch chuckled a few times and said haughtily, "A small illusion will deceive you people, and humans are really easy to deceive." β
Then, she stretched out her little white hand, and the diamond ring on her ring finger was glittering.
"Reacquainted, my name is Joan Muon."
"Trist's fiancΓ©e."
Rick clenched his fists, his face was pale, and his nose was fanning like an angry bull.
"Did you know each other for a long time, or did you hook up later?"
"Does it make a difference?" Lu Wu sat back in his chair, turned over a card in his hand and spun it back and forth: "What you have to do now is to adapt to her new identity as soon as possible." β
"If you accidentally say something you shouldn't say, I'm very talkative here, but my fiancΓ©e won't show mercy."
Rick tried his best to restrain his anger, but it didn't make a difference whether he restrained it or not, and although he was a battle-hardened veteran, he was just an ordinary person.
If you resist, you'll die like this, and I'm afraid no one will know.
"So, you've been lying to me from the beginning?"
Then he looked at the other woman present: "What about you, Katana?" Are you also with them? β
Katana didn't answer, just stood firmly beside Rikugo.
Seeing this, Rick was filled with grief and said bitterly, "What the hell is going on, what do you want to do?" β
Lu Wumo rubbed his delicately trimmed beard and said, "Didn't Amanda introduce me to you in the first place?" β
"Then I can reintroduce myself."
"Trist-Fett, a gambler, habitual thief, villain, professional liar, and possibly a thief if necessary."
"As for why I lied to you, don't you understand?"
"Look around you, spacious and tidy rooms, luxurious dΓ©cor, and two beautiful ladies."
"Money, power, status, I only need to lie to you once, and I have it all."
"And, I'm merciful."
"Except for the Death Shooter, I didn't kill anyone on my own initiative."
Lu Wu actually lied here, and all the members of Team B under the special officers were killed by him.
But Rick didn't know that he was still struggling with another thing: "The witch wants to conquer the world, would you like to watch the world be enslaved by her?" β
In the face of his questioning, Lu Wu was still confident.
"This brings me to another good thing I did."
"My dear, let me ask you, do you still want to conquer the world now?"
The witch shook her head: "I don't want to, at least not for the time being." β
Rick's expression was visibly disbelieving, but the witch knew she was telling the truth.
Now at this juncture, it is indeed not suitable for the work of conquering the world.
The mother box is about to awaken, Steppenwolf is about to invade, and Batman has begun to look around for someone to form a Justice League.
and the soon-to-be-resurrected god of earth: Superman Clark Kent.
She's just a little witch, and it's a bit difficult for her to conquer the world in this chaotic situation.
Therefore, it is not too late to protect yourself first, accumulate strength, and when the time is ripe, you will make plans.
As for why the witch knew this, of course it was Lu Wu who told her.
Snatched her heart back from Amanda and brought the task force to her.
The witch had promised Lu Wu that she would agree to two conditions.
First, accompany him in a play; Second, suspend the conquest of the world.
The witch kept her promise and agreed unconditionally.
Bilbo's death was an accident, who made the revenge demon too strong, Lu Wu explained to her afterwards, and she also forgave her fiancΓ©.
In short, everything that happened in Midway City was planned by Lu Wu, and even the witch siblings chose Midway City at that time, which was also his suggestion.
Although there were some small accidents in between, the ultimate goal has been achieved.
And the reason why Rick was brought in to explain everything was because Lu Wu, as a performative personality, just kept people in the dark and returned, and he couldn't do it.
Lu Wu would only be comfortable if he had to break the entire detail, crumple it, and stuff it into his brain in front of the victim.
