The Death Knell

"The victim's vital signs are temporarily stable. Although there are no extensive burns, he suffered primary brain death due to excessive carbon monoxide inhalation."

In a room that looked like an operating room, the adjutant's voice came faintly. On the high-tech operating table under the shadowless lamp, a brown-haired woman covered only by a blue sheet lay.

Su Ming touched his beard and stood in the darkness far away from the light: "Are you in a vegetative state?"

"Through contextual analysis and comparison of derived meanings, it's very vivid." The adjutant confirmed his statement.

Doty moved closer from behind him: "It was our fault. We were moving too slowly. When we arrived, the fire was already very big."

Su Ming tilted his head and looked at Dotty's face. Her white complexion looked livid in the darkness. He patted her shoulder and said with a smile.

"No, your mission was completed very well, I am very happy."

"But..." Dottie was a little confused, her eyebrows furrowed.

"If you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land..."

Su Ming turned his head and looked at Magda on the operating table. This operating table was a copycat version of Batman's 'Final Machine'. The appearance is exactly the same, but the functions are much less. The adjutant is a cybertronian being after all, not a medical AI.

Anya also took a few steps closer. She couldn't let Dottie take the responsibility alone: ​​"If you save people, you will lose the land, and everyone will save the land?"

Su Ming patted her head gently: "Not bad, you also learned to answer quickly. It seems that you understand the true meaning of this assessment."

Anya touched the top of her head and smiled sheepishly: "I want to verify...are we completely free from the brainwashing in the Red Room?"

"Well, they always treat agents as consumables, emphasizing that they must complete the mission at all costs." Su Ming stretched out his hand, strangled and took two pieces of paper from the table beside him: "I am different here, I pay attention to people-oriented, as long as it is not It doesn’t matter if you fail in a mission that affects the survival of the earth, there is always a way to remedy it.”

It costs a lot to train a qualified agent. Although they were kidnapped from Leviathan, most of the cost was borne by Leviathan. However, in the past few years, Su Ming only spent all kinds of ammunition and equipment on them. The cost is not a small number.

If the person dies, it will be a pure loss and all the upfront investment will be lost. And if a person can survive, the longer he lives, the more skills and experience he gains. This is the key value of an agent.

Agents are not scientists, and there is no such thing as a genius agent. They are basically fed with bullets and blood, so the accumulation of experience must be ensured.

"Sure enough, it was right not to come out and communicate with Magneto." Doty also nodded. At that time, the mutant had fallen into a quiet madness and could not listen to anything.

"Stealing a mother and daughter from a burning house, and decisively evacuating when you see someone you can't deal with. This is the correct behavior of an agent. You are qualified."

Su Ming handed them the paper in his hand. Although it was just a formality, it was the graduation certificate of Zhongsi Academy.

But the two people who took the paper fell into confusion. The end of this phase made them not know what they should do in the future, and they felt a little empty.

I have lived underground in the Red House since I was a child, and then in Chuji Academy. Now I know that I need to leave the familiar place, and I feel dazed for a moment.

"But it really surprised me. I thought that some of your graduates would choose to give up being agents and go to Wilson Enterprises to work as office workers or something, but you all chose to continue living in the darkness."

Su Ming took out a cigarette and sighed slightly. In fact, he didn't want this.

Doty showed a smile and took out a lighter from her pocket to light a cigarette for Su Ming: "Girls from ordinary families are like flowers in the greenhouse, and we are poisonous mushrooms in the crypt. Although they all look bright, but We can’t survive in the sun.”

The sound of the lighter flipping open and the grinding of the grinding wheel were obvious in the darkness, and the firelight only illuminated the faces of the two people.

"Those who don't want us alive are most at ease if we kill them ourselves." Anya also came over, grabbed Su Ming's other arm, and shook it gently.

"In that case, I respect your choice... Dottie Underwood, and Anya Kocheneva, I have a new task for you. I have a new mission on Kaho Island in Hawaii. It’s a vacant underground base, and it’s for your use.”

"What exactly is the mission?"

"I need a systematic intelligence organization to collect intelligence from around the world and even the entire universe. Now you guys put up the structure first and develop slowly." Su Ming handed an agency map to Doty. The underground there was still a bit rough. , let them watch and repair it themselves.

"Promise to complete the mission." The two women replied in unison.

"Dottie, you are in charge. Don't rush to spread your manpower before you are fully prepared. Be especially careful with SHIELD and the Hand." Su Ming warned a few more words. Hawaii is generally regarded as the back garden of the United States. People there There is a mixture of species and a large number of Japanese immigrants. The Hand must have spies there.

But no place in this world is absolutely safe.

"Wow, Dottie has become a leader, wow~~" Anya smiled and put her shoulder on Dottie's back, teasing her good friend with a wink.

Dottie was much calmer. She just accepted the appointment calmly: "Then please name the new organization."

"Pansi Cave... No, Water Curtain Cave, that's not good either. It's really confusing... Moonlight Treasure Box?" Su Ming pinched his chin and thought about it, and the difficulty in naming relapsed.

"How about the cobwebs?"

Doty followed the train of thought and mentioned, perhaps still influenced by the past. Although there was only one black widow, the others basically took the code names of arachnids, and they were secretly competing to see whose code name was more poisonous.

Anya, on the other hand, was basically at the bottom in all grades, and only had a code name "Lacebird" that seemed to have nothing to do with spiders. Thanks to Dottie's reassurance that the lacebird spider was actually not bad, she became happy.

"Then you make your own decision." Su Ming nodded and focused on the operating table again: "When you are ready to go, go to the principal. He will send you to Hawaii. Disband now."

The sound of high heels gradually faded away, and Su Ming remained motionless with the cigarette between his legs, as if staring at the digital curve on the life monitor.

At this time, a secret door appeared on the other wall of the medical room, and Gin walked out of it.

"The little girl's situation is much better. Her mother protected her and I have temporarily deceived her."

"Very good. Sometimes the chess pieces that leave the chessboard are more useful. It's not worth all the thought I put into it." Su Ming replied calmly and walked towards the next room.

There was a little girl in the secret room, sleeping on a small pink bed.

Gin took out the wine bottle from his arms, took a sip into his mouth, and sniffed: "You didn't tell them that everything was actually in your calculations?"

"They still feel insecure and can't say anything." Su Ming replied.

"We obviously have the means of global teleportation, but we have to use a plane to airdrop them into the Black Sea and let them walk hundreds of kilometers. Wouldn't they find it strange?" Gin handed the flask to Su Ming.

Su Ming took it and took a sip, then turned and left expressionlessly. The two walked into the elevator and returned to the top floor office from the basement.

"That's why the excuse is the graduation exam. During the test, everything that is unreasonable is reasonable."

"That's great, I'm even a little envious." Gin curled his lips and looked at his hands: "I also want to go hunting in the snowy forest. You hide far away and arrange for some beasts to block my way from time to time."

"That is to adjust their traveling speed so that they can save the mother and daughter just enough without being discovered. But this is not hunting, and I am not hiding under the water to hang fish hooks for celebrities. Fish TV crew.”

Su Ming walked back to his desk and sat down, relaxing on the back of the chair and turning to look at the night view outside the window.

Across the strait in New York, the lights illuminated a large area of ​​the coast, except Long Island.

Regarding Magneto, it is actually very simple. Su Ming only needs to go to the 'future' through Mysterio and ask a few people. Charles and Mystique know the date when Magneto's family died.

After knowing the time, place and people, Su Ming can send a team to reverse the situation.

Why did Gin say so many "possibles" when giving Dottie and the others the mission? In fact, it is just to cover up the secret that Deathstroke can travel through time.

Dottie and the others were sent out first of all to practice the practical application of their knowledge. If they didn't even know that bears were going to hibernate, they would have to go home and make up lessons.

Secondly, Su Ming wanted to see if, as ordinary people, they could also change the future. Facts have proved that they can.

Finally, it is to maintain the continuity of space and time.

If it was just to save people, whether it was Su Ming himself or Black Widow's team, they could have set off earlier, arrived earlier, and brought Magneto and his family to the United States.

But that is different from what Su Ming sees in the future, and it may cause a time paradox for the birth of Mysterio.

When meeting Professor

Their expressions were fully visible to Su Ming.

This shows that Magneto is obviously a terrorist. They cannot understand why Professor

That's because both Professor X and Deathstroke know that Magnus is useless, Magneto is, and Eric Lensherr is.

The X-Men can reverse the future, and the professor knows it, so why didn't he send the X-Men to the 'past' to rescue Magneto's family? Then Magneto won't become a villain, right?

But he didn’t send any manpower, not even one. The reason behind this, haha...

Therefore, Su Ming must turn Magneto into a terrorist in this era, and the murder of his family is the opportunity for everything.

But if his family is really killed, then Magneto will lose his restraints. Such people cannot be 'friends'. Extremely sane madmen, just like Batman and the Joker. Only those who dare to be friends with them are truly mad.

Therefore, Su Ming's solution was to secretly rescue the mother and daughter while making Magneto think that they were both buried in the flames.

When Magneto becomes world-famous as a super villain, Su Ming can use his wife and daughter to find an excuse to have a relationship.

As mentioned before, this is the chess piece, the key to winning over Magneto, so the chess piece rescued from the fire scene must have traces of flames.

Magneto has a very serious persecution delusion. If his wife and daughter were returned to him at the time of the fire, he would think why the wife and daughter snatched from the fire were... intact?

‘Did you strangers already know something? Is this a trap? Is this acting for me? ’

He'll be suspicious, so 'making friends' like this won't work.

And after more than ten years, when Magneto suffers continuous setbacks, if someone can give him the lost treasures... Even though these things have been burned by fire, they are still Magneto's treasures. At this time, he You must be very happy, right?

In difficult times, friends are the ones who help in times of need.

Think about it in reverse, is there no difficulty? Then create difficulties.

Naturally, Su Ming would not expect one strategy to defeat Magneto. This was a plan that would last for decades.

He has calculated countless steps behind Magneto's thinking, all possibilities have been calculated, and there is also an 'insurance'.

Magneto and Magda's eldest daughter is named Anya, and Su Ming also happens to have an Anya.

Oops, what a coincidence...
