Section 24 Countercurrents
Li Tianci was silent for a while.
Lance stood there, feeling very uncomfortable. The chat negotiation between these two giants does not seem to have considered themselves at all.
"Are these two guys really weaklings who have no power to resist?"
Lance sneered in his heart, although he may not be able to beat Li Tianci, but with the magical skills learned in the wizarding world, most of them can escape from him. Not to mention that he also has the company of Time Dragon Bacon by his side.
The reason why he hasn't escaped is just because he is afraid of Li Tianci's strength.
After all, he still didn't want to offend the most powerful man on the planet until he had to.
"I have to pay back this favor. Li Tianci's tone became cold: "But you only have three days." ā
"After three days, you must let them go. ā
Diana over there agreed, "No problem." ā
"Brother......" Li Tiancheng shouted dissatisfiedly, the latter shook his head gently, and Li Tiancheng could only stomp his feet helplessly.
It's not that he doesn't know the relationship between his brother and the director of the Heavenly Aegis Bureau, as for the two brothers who were saved by Diana's father, neither of them can refuse this favor. It's just a little annoying to see that an important clue was given up at the last moment.
"Mr. Lance, I would like you to come to the Aegis. ā
After convincing Li Tianci, Diana looked at Lance with confidence, and said with a slight smile: "First of all, it must be pointed out that we have no malicious intentions or want to hide any truth. ā
Speaking of which. Li Tiancheng couldn't help but snort coldly.
Lance said indifferently: "I have no interest in the Heavenly Shield Bureau, are you still going to force me to go by force?"
"No, it won't. Diana's answer surprised Lance.
She smiled and said, "I can try to convince you, though." ā
"Regarding the countercurrent incident, in fact, if you want to know, I can tell you. I won't ask anything about you yourself - of course, if you wish, you can tell us what happened to you in the past three years as scientific information. But I'm coming to you now, definitely not because of the counter-current incident. ā
"Isn't it because of the countercurrent?" said Lance, frowning, "Then what are you going to do with me?"
"Li and I have already said that this is a matter of life and death for mankind. ā
Speaking of this, Diana's expression became a little stern: "The specific content of this matter." Only you came to the Aegis. I can tell you myself. ā
"It sounds like you're begging me to do something for you. ā
Lance's mind was so delicate that he vaguely guessed Diana's intentions.
"That's right. ā
The director of the Aegis Bureau seemed to be very frank and gave a direct affirmative answer to Lance's question.
"But I'm still saying that, we're not going to force you to do anything. Diana blinked: "And about your personal safety." and privacy freedoms. I assure you in the name of the Director of the Aegis Bureau. During these three days, you will not be violated in any way. ā
"If you don't believe me, at least you should believe Lee. If I did something that shouldn't have been done. He won't spare me and H.E.L.I.E.L.D. ā
Lance subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man, who was still the same ancient face, as if he felt Lance's gaze, and then nodded slightly.
Lance weighed his mind for a moment, and finally looked at the roar of the monster coming from no man's land in the distance.
"Okay, I'll go with you. ā
......
It was not for nothing that Lance made a compromise.
Both the Aegis Bureau and Zhongxin have found him to return to Earth, and there is no way to hide this. Even if he finds a way to escape, the next days on Earth will have to face the search of these two terrorist forces, and it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble at that time.
Moreover, since the Aegis Bureau had already made such a promise, and the God of War himself had guaranteed it, he was not afraid of them going back on their words.
Third, he himself was indeed very curious about the so-called "countercurrent" time back then. It was the car accident caused by the countercurrent incident that changed his fate so much.
Although the crossing left him uprooted from his homeland and came to a more dangerous place. But he also had more opportunities than before.
If there is no countercurrent incident, maybe he will be a chip salesman for the rest of his life.
And now, he is a quasi-third-level wizard.
After the two sides negotiated, Lance did not leave with the magician, but waited directly in place.
After a short time, a two-man fighter plane quickly arrived, and after Lance entered the warehouse, the plane directly became invisible and flew towards the distant sky.
......
Twenty minutes later, in the air base of the Aegis.
A secret room.
"Director Diana, no one should be able to hear our conversation right now, right?"
Lance couldn't help but say as he looked at the empty walls around him and the beautiful blonde lady in front of him.
He knew that there might be a number of cameras and bugs on the seemingly insignificant walls, but he didn't bother to ask.
Diana smiled slightly: "Of course, I can give you the answer to how much you want to know about the countercurrent incident." But not now, you have three minutes to rest, maybe a cup of tea, or a cup of coffee?"
"Wait?" Lance jumped up from the couch he had just sat down on, frowning, "Three minutes to rest?" what are you talking about?"
Diana was still smiling: "In three minutes, our private intercontinental waterway should be opened." We will take the Harrier Eagle VI right away......"
"Private intercontinental waterway, where?" Lance was completely confused.
"Asia. ā
Diana looked at Lance and blinked, "Tea, or coffee?" or lemonade?"
"Trust me, it's going to be a hard journey. ā
......
Three minutes later, a golden-covered plane slowly took off from the launch base of the Aegis Bureau, and a cylindrical passage suddenly flashed in the sky.
The golden, petite Harrier Eagle Six nimbly burrowed into the passage and vanished.
In this era, the sky is the territory of many terrifying monsters. If you want to travel intercontinentally, you have to go into stealth flight lanes.
"Okay, now we're safe. We had about forty minutes. ā
Diana sat across from Reims, and the entire Harrier Eagle Six could only take seven people except for the pilot and a flight attendant. Diana and Lance, were the only passengers on the flight.
The director of the Aegis Bureau looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "Thirty-nine minutes left." ā
Lance frowned and asked, "What are we going to Asia for?"
"That's another story. Diana said succinctly, "Do you want to know about the Countercurrent event first, or the event that you are likely to face next?"
"Let's talk about the countercurrent. Lance squinted and said in a deep voice, "I want to know what happened that day." ā
Diana nodded, pondered for a moment, and said slowly in a reminiscent tone:
"Actually, the term countercurrent, when it first appeared, was a code name for a real yĆ n project. ā
"What project?" asked Lance, "what project." ā
"First of all, you must know that the Aegis Bureau cooperates with the three major companies, and there will be a lot of real projects. For example, in terms of gene chips, after Lord Li, the god of war, killed the monster with the ability to control minds, we extracted DNA from his body, and finally developed an elite-level subchip with a weakened version of the ability to control minds......"
Hearing this, Lance couldn't help blurting out: "[King]." ā
He's a chip salesman, and he's still very familiar with this field.
Diana smiled: "That's right, it's the king." And countercurrent, too, is something similar. It's just that we didn't cooperate with any company for this project, so it can be regarded as a private study conducted by our Aegis Bureau. ā
"As a senior chip salesperson at Zhongxin Technology, you should know the power of gene chips ā and their limitations. ā
In fact, long after the quantum storm changed the human genes, those superheroes proposed two ways to evolve themselves. One is implanted in the form of a gene chip, which has the advantage of being stable, safe, and without any overload. However, there are drawbacks to everything. ā
Lance nodded: "I know this, compared to the genes that were directly plundered, the gene chip is undoubtedly a limiter. Just like the limiter used to limit the current, the gene chip can make people have abilities beyond ordinary people, but this ability is completely weakened compared to the original, but it is powerful. ā
So, there's another way. Diana said: "Self-evolution -- or, direct injection of monster serum, external stimulation to induce the re-transcription of ancient genes in our genome...... These methods, compared to gene chips, are very dangerous. Many people have died in the process of self-realization, and many more have become monsters. Only a very small number of people can succeed. Those people, however, often possess unparalleled power. ā
"For example, the god of war, Lee. ā
"So, even though the microarray process has been booming over the years, there is still a desire for a second way of evolution. We, the Heavenly Shield Bureau, have been doing similar research. And the counter-current project is one of them. The subject of this project is an alien creature - remember the monster that could turn back time for a short time in the second Battle of the Atmosphere? After that victory, we captured a total of eight of these creatures. ā
"We took their DNA and serum and tried to transplant this ability into humans. ā
Saying this, Diana's expression suddenly became much stricter.
"Did you succeed?" asked Lance.
Diana nodded, but there was not much joy in her eyes. (To be continued......)
