Chapter 345: Protectorate

The thought that there might be an 'administrator' watching this universe made Azu feel uncomfortable, which meant that all his actions were watched by a pair of invisible eyes.

If what he does doesn't meet the expectations of the 'administrators', it will be fixed.

'Midnight Boiling' and 'The Destroyer' are two of the best examples.

What if one day, the 'Administrator' suddenly 'corrects' himself?

Or is there a bug in the 'program'?

Will you be suddenly erased?

This thought has been lingering in Azu's mind since the end of the 'Destroyer' incident.

This also caused him to be depressed for a few days.

It took him several days to adjust slightly.

And these things strengthened his idea of becoming an 'administrator'.

OK.

In the Marvel Universe, use the Infinity Gauntlet to meet the 'Administrator' of that universe.

The other party promised to report his 'wish', and if it passed, he would get a 'final mission'.

Complete the quest and become an 'Administrator', who should be assigned to manage a multiverse.

According to the saying in the previous life, only by becoming an 'administrator' did Azu jump out of the Three Realms like a monkey and not be among the Five Elements.

"What are you thinking, Mr. John?"

"Why don't you move your chopsticks?"

"Isn't my food delicious?"

On the other side of the table, Lin Aida hadn't heard the sound of Azu eating for a long time, so he couldn't help but ask.

Azu came back to his senses and said, "No, it's none of your business. ”

"It's just that I've been worrying too much lately."

Azu said, picking up chopsticks and picking up the dishes at the same time.

Lin Aida didn't know his distress, and nodded: "There are indeed a lot of troubles recently, although the super meteorite matter is over, the city has suffered so much damage. ”

"There are many dead and wounded, and only a few people who are as lucky as us are."

"Some people are homeless, some people have lost their loved ones, and every day when I pass by the church, I hear people crying, it's so tragic."

Azu took a few mouthfuls of food and said: "If there is no motherland, it will be even worse." ”

Lin Aida nodded: "You're right, it's really thanks to the motherland, otherwise, there would only be more deaths." ”

"By the way, Mr. John, I don't know if you've heard of such a thing."

"The Protector."

Azu was stunned: "What is that?" ”

Lin Aida lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This is a charitable organization that has only recently appeared, and it was established by an agent appointed by the motherland. ”

"The aim is to provide relief to those who have been traumatized by the disaster, to heal their psychological wounds, and to provide financial support as much as possible."

"I heard that the people of the motherland don't want to be too public, so this organization keeps a low profile, and does not advertise it in newspapers and magazines, but only circulates it in the streets."

The corners of Azu's mouth twitched.

When have I appointed an agent.

When was the bullshit protectorate formed.

Isn't this swaggering and deception in the name of Lao Tzu?

Shit, don't let me catch that agent.

Otherwise, you must be good-looking!

After dinner at Lin Aida's house, Azu helped wash the dishes before leaving.

The next day.

He walked into the Tower of Seven.

It feels like it's been a long time since I've been back.

As soon as he walked into the Tower of Seven, the otherwise noisy lobby fell silent.

Then I don't know who shouted, 'Long live the motherland', and then the cheers of the 'motherland' began one after another.

Everyone applauded vigorously and gave Azu a thumbs up.

Azu put his hands behind his back and smiled, but did not stop and walked directly into the elevator.

When the elevator doors were about to close, someone outside shouted, "Please wait a minute." ”

Then a hand reached in.

The elevator doors opened, revealing Starlight's delicate face.

Starlight put on her original suit, which was not as sultry as the suit designed by Walter Company, but it had the freshness of a girl-next-door look.

When she saw Azu, her eyes were bright, her breath was short, and she said a little nervously: "Motherland, can I come in?" ”

Azu smiled and leaned to the side: "Obviously, there is still a lot of space here, come in." ”

Starlight flashed in.

The elevator doors close.

In the car, there were only Azu and Starlight.

The atmosphere became a little wonderful.

Azu didn't squint, but knew that Starlight was constantly careful, and looked at him secretly.

Azu coughed dryly: "Do I have flowers on my face?" ”

Starlight shook her head quickly, "No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so rude." ”

Of course, Azu didn't bother with her, anyway, he started talking, and he said casually: "I heard Ashley say that you took a long vacation, what's the matter, the vacation is over?" ”

Starlight raised his head and looked at Azu and said, "During the midnight boiling incident, I watched my teammates die in front of my eyes, and I was scared at the time, so I took a leave of absence to go home. ”

"I thought I might not be able to continue being a superhero."

"But you have inspired me, sir."

Starlight's eyes sparkled with adoration.

Azu was stunned: "I inspired you?" ”

When have I inspired you?

How I don't remember.

Starlight nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's you, sir." ”

"I see Miss Angelina declaring war on those alien invaders on your behalf."

"Your perseverance has made me understand what a true hero is."

"A true hero should be like you, who does not flinch in the face of desperate situations and does not surrender in the face of strong enemies."

"Fight to the end, see death as home!"

Wait, girl.

I think you're misunderstanding something.

Azu coughed a little embarrassedly: "Is that so?" ”

Starlight's breathing grew heavier, "Yes, that's right. ”

"So at that time, I decided to follow your example."

"So I went back to the battlefield, and in that battle, I managed to overcome my fears."

"I also found my original intention again."

"I am very grateful to you, motherland."

"Me"

"Me"

Starlight bit her lip and was about to say something when the elevator doors opened.

They have reached the target level.

Outside the elevator door, Ashley was about to come in when she saw Azu cheering.

"Motherland, you're finally back."

"I have a lot to report to you."

"Please give me five minutes."

Azu stepped out of the elevator: "I'll give you 10 minutes, miss." ”

"You're so generous." Ashley's face glowed as if it was glowing, and she said radiantly.

After they left, Starlight stepped out of the elevator, and she stroked her forehead with her hand, "Annie, what the hell are you thinking?" ”

"Do you think you're young?"

"It's not a school, and the motherland isn't the basketball captain you like."

"This is where you work, please stop those boring delusions."

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice behind her said, "Do you like the motherland?" ”

Starlight was startled, and when she looked back, it was a young girl with a work badge with the word 'Intern' on her chest.

"I didn't."

Starlight hurriedly defended herself.

The young girl smiled and said, "It's normal to like the motherland, and I like him too." ”

"He is the hero who saved the world, the dream lover of all women, and I have not only dreamed of him in my dreams, but also opened my arms for him."

"It's normal for you to have that kind of thought, Miss Starlight, do you want to join our 'Motherland Support Group', you are not fighting alone."

Starlight hurriedly said, "I have something to do, I'm sorry." ”

She walked briskly to the command hall, thinking to herself how crazy the girl was now.

Crime Analysis Section.

Azu walked in with his hands behind his back and found that the personnel of the analysis department were less than half, and he didn't know if he would be on vacation or die in the disaster.

Fortunately, the person he was looking for was still alive.

Annika, as usual, was listening to music with headphones on.

Since she was the only one nearby, the girl took off her shoes and rested her two long white legs on the table next to her.

Azu saw that she was eating an almond chocolate bar.

How much she loves chocolate.

Azu walked up behind her and took off her headphones.

Annika tilted her head back, and saw that it was Azu who was startled, and hurriedly got up, only to fall to the ground, and her hips in a one-line skirt were raised high against Azu.

"Sorry, boss, I didn't expect it to be you."

Annika scrambled to her feet, clutching her head, not daring to look at Azu's face.

Azu shook his head and said to the swaggering girl, "You help me check an organization, the Protector Association." ”

"I heard that the founder of this organization borrowed my name and said that he was my agent."

"I suspect that the other party is using the name 'motherland' to make money, if you find evidence, notify me immediately."

Annika nodded repeatedly: "I will start investigating immediately, and I will notify you as soon as there is news." ”

"Well, good job."

Azu tapped her on the shoulder, and then left the analysis department.

When he arrived in the command hall, Maeve was the only one in the hall.

She seemed to be in a depressed mood and was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, not knowing what she was thinking.

Azu had heard about her from Ashley, and walked up to Maeve's side, and he looked out the window at the city.

"I'm sorry about your friend."

Maeve glanced back at Azu and said with a smile: "You can actually comfort people, I doubt that you are someone else pretending." ”

Azu said without changing his face: "You are worthy of me. ”

Maeve's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I want to take a vacation." ”

Azu nodded: "You really should rest and adjust, go ahead, come back when you want to, I'll tell Ashley." ”

He then took out a credit card: "Buy whatever you want." ”

Maeve laughed and pushed the credit card back, "I have money." ”

"And not long ago, I just received a federal reward, a whole 100 million tax-free dollars."

"Thank you, though."

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Azu lightly on the cheek.

Azu smiled and didn't look back, but watched Maeve leave through the floor-to-ceiling window.

A few days later.

"I've arrived."

On the streets of New York, Azu looked around, and then said into the microphone of his mobile phone: "Where are you?" ”

After taking over Azu's mission, Annika spent a lot of time and finally found a way to join the 'Protector Association' on the Internet.

In order to join the 'Protectorate Association', you need to be recommended by a member.

Annika found a member for Azu, and the other party said that as long as she gave certain benefits, she would help recommend her to join.

After getting the contact information, Azu took the initiative to contact the other party and made an appointment to meet here.

Not long after putting down his phone, Azu saw a sneaky man wearing a peaked cap coming out of a nearby alley.

And beckoned to Azu.

Azu walked over, thinking that if this guy dared to play tricks on himself, he would kill him, and then deduct Anika's bonus for this quarter.

"John?"

The man, named Parik, asked.

Azu nodded, pulled a few dollars from his pocket, and placed them in Parik's hand.

Parrick nodded, then stuffed the dollar into his hat and walked forward: "You're lucky, there is a new member of the Protector Club tonight, I can recommend you to join." ”

Azu followed behind and asked, "If you join the Protector Association, can you really get financial help?" ”

"Of course."

"But not for new members, there will be a one-week to one-quarter assessment period, depending on your contribution to the Protectorate," Parik said. ”

Azu smiled and said, "What is the content of the assessment?" ”

"If you want to pass the assessment as soon as possible, you just need to donate to the Protector Association, and the donated style will be registered and given to your brothers and sisters who have difficulties and passed the review," Parik said. ”

"You can also complete various missions issued by the Protectorate."

"If you are a woman, as long as you undergo the purification ceremony, you can also pass the assessment immediately."

"But to be eligible for the purification ceremony, you need to be certified as a 'Celebrant of the Light'."

"Who is the Celebrity?" Azu asked casually.

"It's Mr. Reed, and he's the appointed agent of the Motherland."

"He is also the founder of the Protectorate Congress."

Azu smiled: "How do you know if he is really authorized by the motherland?" ”

I don't know any Mr. Reed, after all.

Parik gave him an impatient look, "You don't need to know that much. ”

"What's more, at the rally two days ago, the motherland showed up and admitted it himself."

"A lot of brothers and sisters saw it at the time, and there will be no mistake."

Tut.

The Motherland also appeared?

So I became the leader of an organization that I didn't know?

The more Azu learned, the more ridiculous he felt.

"By the way, do you have any money on you?"

"At least 1,000?"

Azu nodded.

"That's going to be easy."

At this point Parrick stopped, and he knocked on a small red door.

The small door opened a slit, and a pair of eyes peeked inside.

"It's me, Parik, buddy."

The door opened.

Parik pointed at Azu again, "He's the member I recommended tonight." ”

Behind the door, a big man with a braided beard nodded, turned sideways and let them through.

Azu followed Parik through the graffiti-strewn passage to a large hall that had broken through the walls.

There were many sofas scattered in the hall, and there were some tables with candles scattered around, and at the sofas, there were already seven or eight people seated.

Parik led Azu to one of the couches.

"Wait."

"The rally began soon."

"Remember, don't say anything."

"I'll answer your questions, and if you want to succeed, you'd better listen to me." Parrick admonished.
