Why did you save me?" After chatting for a while, Skyesuddenly asked the question she was most concerned about. These people had clearly approached her on purpose, which made it impossible for her not to be wary.
"Because we want to help you," Lu Yifang said calmly.
"Help me? Do you also have the same goal as me, to free the World from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control?" Skye asked excitedly.
"Uh... can you tell me why you're against S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Lu Yifang hesitated before speaking.
"Because S.H.I.E.L.D. concealed the truth of the World; they are fooling people and trampling on the public's right to know," Skye said angrily, taking the data pad from Katie.
"A long time ago, the top hackers of the Tideorganization had already noticed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s arbitrary actions online. They used superb technology to arbitrarily block important information, and even made some informed people mysteriously disappear," Skyesaid, suddenly pulling up some videos. Most of the videos were shaky and blurry, but their content was astonishing.
These videos included battles between Hulk and the Military, Ghost Rider speeding through the streets, and even some footage vaguely showing Lu Yifang's blurry figure.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is a brutal hound in the government's hands, wantonly oppressing and deceiving us. It is a behemoth hidden under the halo of freedom and democracy, and it is the greatest enemy faced by free people," Skye said with firm eyes.
"Concealing the truth? The greatest enemy?" Hearing this, Lu Yifang suddenly laughed, and his gaze towards Skye held a hint of pity.
Is S.H.I.E.L.D. really as Skye described it? From a certain perspective, it truly is; it has nothing to do with so-called democracy and freedom. S.H.I.E.L.D. is a powerful authoritarian organization.
You want democracy and freedom? If you say these words to Fury, Fury will solemnly declare that he is a supporter of democracy, and then turn around and go to the equipment department to see if there are any tools similar to the Men in Black's neuralyzer, so he can turn you into an amnesiac idiot.
Do so-called democratic countries not engage in authoritarianism in secret? Democracy and freedom are inherently things said to others; the game of politics is about being more ruthless and dirtier.
Moreover, every system that arises in this World has no right or wrong; it's just whether it suits the current era. And if democracy could save the Marvel Universe now, then what would S.H.I.E.L.D. be for?
Think about it, simply releasing the video of Mephisto's descent would cause such a huge shock to the World, and how many cult organizations would suddenly emerge in this World.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is the link between this World and the transcendent World. When people are not yet ready to face the real World, S.H.I.E.L.D. protects them first. Just like the former Hidden Leisure Society, although these secrets will eventually be revealed one day, at least not today.
"Given what you just said, I'll give you a choice," Lu Yifang said, his expression suddenly becoming serious as he looked at Skye. "Do you want to understand the truth of the World? Do you want to truly... live?"
"I..." Noticing Lu Yifang's extremely serious gaze, Skyesuddenly hesitated. She was a hacker, and the blood of revelation flowed in the bones of hackers. But when the things she wanted to reveal climbed from the internet into reality, even a top hacker would feel an inexplicable sense of trepidation.
And the nervous Skye suddenly remembered that she seemed to have been dragged through the wall earlier. Thinking this, Skye immediately turned back to touch the wall, checking for any secret doors, but of course, she found nothing.
But at this moment, when Skye looked back at Lu Yifang and the two others, cold sweat inexplicably began to break out on her forehead. In a trance, she seemed to see "yes or No" options appearing before her.
"I... refuse!" After a moment of silence, Skye shook her head firmly.
"Alright, I'll be honest. The real reason I've always wanted to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. is that I want to find out about my own background. S.H.I.E.L.D. has hidden my identity information, so I just want to find my parents, know who I am, and then truly live."
"Very good!" Lu Yifang snapped his fingers. "Then I'll take that as a yes. Now come with me."
"Hey, didn't you hear me?" Skye widened her eyes, looking at Lu Yifang. Didn't she just choose to refuse?
"That's right, aren't you looking to find out who your parents are? Do you want to truly live?" Lu Yifanglooked back at Skye. "Then come on, because your parents are in the real World."
"You know who my parents are? That's impossible. For so many years, I've been searching for clues about my identity, which is why I know that only people from S.H.I.E.L.D. know my true identity," Skye said, shaking her head seriously.
"You're absolutely right, so I... am from S.H.I.E.L.D.," Lu Yifang said, pointing to himself with a calm expression.
Skye: "o_O???"
At this moment, Skye looked at Coulson, who had just left, and then looked back at Lu Yifang. A large number of 007 spy plots suddenly replayed in her mind. Could the truth be that there are actually two forces within S.H.I.E.L.D., one overt and one covert?
While Skye was in a daze, Katie quietly leaned into Lu Yifang's ear. "So, this Skye is Mr. Hyde's daughter? How did you know?"
"I learned it from S.H.I.E.L.D.," Lu Yifang explained with a smile.
"Is that so? I just feel like things aren't that simple." Katie frowned slightly, but soon smiled and shook her head. "But never mind, no matter what, I will always trust you."
She was a smart girl who knew what was important. It was fine to throw a small tantrum in life, but this was work.
"So next, we'll spread this news through the rats. Pietro, do you have Deadpool's number?" Katie turned to look at Pietro.
"Of course!" Colossus Peter nodded and dialed his phone, simultaneously pressing the speaker button. Then, a series of exhausted gasps and "painful" moans came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, do you know what terrible thing you've done? I was in the middle of a fierce battle, and the enemy was too brutal and tenacious. I finally subdued her, and the bullet was already chambered. But your call made my bullet jam! Do you know what terrible consequences this could lead to? Because of you, countless poor little lives will be lost!" Deadpool's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Uh, did I do something wrong?" Hearing these high-brow words, the honest man Pietro, who had been wondering what that sound was about, was instantly intimidated. "Did Wade really encounter difficulties? Should we go help him?"
"Uh, well..." Lu Yifang gave Pietro a strange look. "I don't think so. Believe me, even if he's suppressed by the enemy and runs out of bullets and dies under their whipping, he would absolutely not want you to interfere."
"Why? As friends, shouldn't we face the enemy together?" Pietro said with a frown. His somewhat thick-headed nerves had completely led him into a trap.
"Because... his car is too fast, we can't catch up," Lu Yifang said, patting Pietro's shoulder somewhat speechlessly. "Later, when you have time, learn how to drive more from John and Bobby. Those two guys, one is wild and the other is secretly perverted, but at least their driving is quite steady. Deadpool's hearse drifting skills are beyond your current imagination."
Colossus Peter: "??"
Ch 142
In a dark underground research institute, several people were tinkering with research instruments, while a dark-skinned, curly-haired woman in the center was flipping through a document, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Bang~! Rena, come here quickly." Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open roughly, and a disheveled man in a suit walked in.
"Mr. Hyde, you're back," the woman named Rena said, immediately standing up to greet him.
"There are some things I need to tell you. Francis, who was cooperating with us, has been eliminated. This for us..."
"I already know about those things. They are insignificant. I need you to immediately help me find someone from the rats, a girl named Skye. I want all her information," the man in the suit said, a hint of surprise and nervousness in his voice.
This expression also aroused Rena's curiosity. It was the first time in so many years that she had seen such a change in the man's emotions. "Mr. Hyde, may I be so bold as to ask what you want to do with this girl..."
"Stop talking nonsense, don't dawdle. I said I want her identity information. Hurry up, especially her photo. I want to see her photo immediately," the man in the suit said, suddenly grabbing Rena's neck and growling.
"Mr. Hyde, I...!" Rena struggled, speaking in a terrified voice.
"Oh, what have I done?" The man in the suit seemed to suddenly come to his senses and immediately let Rena go.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that just now, but you know, my emotions are a bit hard to control, and when I think about that matter, about that girl's identity, my body can't stop trembling, so do you understand how I feel now?"
"Cough, cough, Mr. Hyde, I understand," Rena coughed twice, speaking with some difficulty. Having been adopted by this man since she was young, she knew very well how terrifying, and at the same time uncontrollable, this man, nicknamed Mr. Hyde, had made himself with the potion.
So she dared not delay and immediately rushed to the computer, beginning to contact all the rats she knew, while Mr. Hyde paced back and forth nearby. His impatient demeanor made cold sweat involuntarily run down Rena's face, and his footsteps were like those of the God of Death, proclaiming how impatient his Masterwas.
"Mr. Hyde, it's ready." Opening a file, Rena finally breathed a sigh of relief, speaking in an almost exhausted voice. She was very lucky; someone had already organized the information about this girl and placed it with the rats. As long as she overcame one or two small hurdles, she could easily obtain this information from the rats.
"That's great! Let me see it quickly," Mr. Hyde said, already impatiently pushing Rena aside, then carefully enlarging Skye's photo.
"It's her, that's right, it must be her, haha~!" After a moment of stunned, Mr. Hyde suddenly laughed hysterically, even beginning to gesticulate wildly.
"Mr. Hyde, what exactly do you mean by 'it's her'?" Seeing Mr. Hyde's sudden childlike actions, Rena hesitated, finally unable to resist asking.
"Of course, it's my lovely, perfect, charming daughter," Mr. Hyde said, pulling Rena over. "Look how much she resembles her mother, this nose, and these eyes, I can recognize her at a glance. Rena, after all these years, I've finally found my daughter, haha~!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Hyde." Looking at Mr. Hyde, who was excitedly hugging her, Rena said this, but for some reason, a hint of loss suddenly appeared in her heart, as if something important was about to be lost.
"I want to see her, I want to see her now, my poor daughter. After all these years, she probably still doesn't know that her parents are actually still alive, and we've been looking for her all this time," Mr. Hydesuddenly put down the computer in his hand, speaking with an excited expression.
"Mr. Hyde, please calm down." At this moment, Rena's face changed when she heard this, and she quickly advised him. "We must plan this matter carefully. How could your daughter's information suddenly appear in the rats' intelligence network? There's clearly..."
"I can't care about that much," Mr. Hyde suddenly grabbed Rena and growled; "I want to see my daughter, I want to see her now. Anyone who dares to stop me, I will tear them to pieces, including you, do you understand?"
"I... I understand, Mr. Hyde." Looking at Mr. Hyde, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose hair was disheveled like an enraged lion, Rena spoke in a trembling voice.
"That's good." Mr. Hyde released Rena, and a happy smile suddenly reappeared on his face. "Rena, what clothes do you think I should wear to see her? What would be most suitable and most like a father? Since she was born, this is the first time I'm seeing her after all these years, so I want to leave a good impression on her."
...
Meanwhile, in the Mutant Research Institute, a girl was asking the same question.
"Are you really sure my father isn't dead, and that you can help me find my father?" Skye, who had been pacing around the table, stood up and walked over to Lu Yifang.
"This is the fifth time you've asked me this question. Yes, I can find your father, and it won't be long before your father comes here. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Lu Yifang looked up and said somewhat impatiently.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. I just... I just think it's too incredible. Not only did I suddenly learn my identity, but my birth parents are actually still alive. All of this is simply... simply like a dream," Skye said, her voice becoming somewhat incoherent due to excitement.
"Should I change my clothes? I feel like I'm dressed too casually."
"If that's the case, then I'll accompany you to change into more suitable clothes," Katie said, walking over and pulling Skye out of the room.
And the two girls hadn't been gone long when a knock on the door came again.
"Come in." As Lu Yifang's words fell, a seductive woman in a white robe walked in.
"White Queen, has the preliminary analysis report come out yet?" Seeing that it was the White Queen who had entered, Lu Yifang couldn't help but stand up.
"Sort of. You've gained quite a lot this time," the White Queen said, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"After research by several chief scientists, we have discovered that the formula for that awakening potion can indeed stimulate and activate the X gene, and now our scientists can replicate this formula using the data you obtained."
"This doesn't have much significance," Lu Yifang said, frowning. An awakening potion with only a one-tenth awakening rate, and even that one-tenth would have some flaws, was not the result Lu Yifang wanted.
"What's going on with the flaws and failures that occur during this awakening? Have you figured it out?"
Ch 143
The source of Mutant abilities is the X gene, which is normally a recessive gene. Only a very small number of lucky humans will have their X gene activated, presenting as a dominant trait, which is what is called an ability.
The so-called forced awakening using awakening agents is to forcefully stimulate the X gene, causing it to be passively activated. And this kind of drug, which influences genes, is naturally not safe.
Just as excessive intake of carcinogens can damage the cell genes in the body, eventually leading to cancer. Although the X gene will not undergo cancerous changes, forced activation can also damage the X gene. The result of this damage is that the manifested ability will have defects, or the ability will completely lose control, becoming a defective product or even a useless one.
"So the flaws of these forcibly awakened individuals are due to damage to their X gene. Is there a way to avoid this damage?" Lu Yifang asked, after listening to White Queen's explanation.
"Theoretically, it's impossible. Since it's a forced awakening, there will naturally be a price. This should be considered the boundary between forced awakening and natural awakening," White Queen said, then changed the subject.
"Of course, while we cannot avoid these side effects, we can minimize the damage as much as possible. For example, the awakening of abilities is like giving birth. Natural delivery is certainly the best, but if that's not possible, we can perform a caesarean section. As for the damage this caesarean section can cause, it could directly lead to the mother's Death, or it could just be an insignificant scar."
"So the key is still technical means. Can our power improve this formula?" Lu Yifang mused.
"Dr. Cornelius, Radcliffe, and Dr. Stern, the three chief scientists, have now set this research as their top priority. However, according to Dr. Stern, some detailed information about this formula in the data you obtained seems to have been intentionally edited, which hinders their further research progress."
"Don't worry about this. Anyway, the person who invented this formula is about to deliver himself to us. We'll just ask him in person then." Meanwhile, Lu Yifangwas talking with White Queen.
On the other side, Fireman John was chatting with Pietro.
"John, am I really a bit too old-fashioned?" Pietro said dejectedly. After he repeated what Deadpool and Lu Yifang had said to him two days ago to John, Johnalmost laughed himself under the table.
"Don't mind those details. Compared to that, isn't it more awesome to think about how you went on a mission with the Boss? I also want the Boss to take me out to play. It's not easy to join the Brotherhood, but I didn't expect it to be so boring. I've been stuck in the research institute for the past few days; I feel like I'm going to rot." John pouted and complained.
"Oh, right. That female Mutant you captured the other day, you've been going to see her every day for the past two days. How's the progress?"
"N-n-no, I just chat with her, trying to persuade her to turn over a new leaf." Pietro scratched his head a little awkwardly and said with a smile.
Looking at Pietro, if John still couldn't tell, then his emotional intelligence would have dropped to a negative number even lower than Pietro's. "Does going out on missions with the Boss not only mean you can be a slacker the whole time, but also have a chance to pick up girls? That's so good~!"
While John was lost in thought, Pietro suddenly patted him, pulling him back from his musings. "Um, I want to ask, can you teach me how to get along with girls? I… I have little experience in that area."
"Are you asking me that?" Hearing this, the single dog John's eyebrow instantly twitched, and a ball of Fire unconsciously appeared in his hand. "Do you know my true identity? Ask me that question again, and I'm worried I won't be able to resist burning you."
Watching John play with the Fire in his hand, sometimes forming a torch, sometimes forming an "FFF" shape, Pietro paused, then his whole body turned into steel, and he spoke with a determined expression.
"I'm not afraid~!"
John: "MMP~!"
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Pyro, John's arch-nemesis whom John was determined to burn to ashes, walked in. "Guys, you're here. Where's Lu Yifang? The big fish he's waiting for seems to have arrived."
"The big fish the Boss is waiting for~! Good, let's go see." John, unable to sit still, rushed back upon hearing this.
Pietro, seeing this, shrugged helplessly, then pointed to Lu Yifang's room on the other side, and followed Johnout. With his steady personality, he was worried Johnmight cause some trouble.
"Hey, old man, are you the one looking for our Boss?" When John reached the hall, he saw a man dressed in a suit, wearing a gold watch, carrying a briefcase, and dressed like a successful person, standing in the hall with an anxious expression.
Mr. Hyde was not angry at John's somewhat rash words. Instead, he politely extended his hand and greeted him with a smile. "No, you misunderstood. I'm here to find my daughter. She seems to be here."
"Looking for your daughter? Is it that pretty new girl named Skye?"
"That's right, it's her, my daughter Daisy, my beautiful and lovely daughter." Mr. Hyde said excitedly. "How is she now? I want to see her."
"She's fine." John said as he walked in front of Mr. Hyde, curiously examining this person who even interested the Boss. "One question, are you very strong? If possible, how about we have a fight?"
"No, no, no! I don't fight. I'm just a peace-loving family man." Seeing the Fire appear in John's hand, Mr. Hydeimmediately waved his hand and said.
"John, stop messing around. Chairman Lu still has important business with him!" When Pietro came out and saw this scene, his brows immediately furrowed.
"That's right, I also have… Huh~! My friend, you look a bit familiar." Mr. Hyde, who had just looked timid, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his aura became dangerous, like a sleeping lion suddenly opening its eyes.
Pietro was a bit bewildered. What the hell? Johnprovoked you so much, and you weren't angry, but I'm speaking nicely, and you look displeased. I think you're deliberately making things difficult for me, Colossus.
"I remember now, you're the one who can turn his whole body into steel." Mr. Hyde said with a gloomy tone.
"You really were the person standing on the industrial platform that day." Hearing this, Pietro paused, and then his expression also became unfriendly.
"It really is you bastards! You… you dared to capture my lovely daughter! Unforgivable~!!" Mr. Hyde roared, his suddenly bloodshot eyes transforming him from a refined successful person into a man-eating lion.
"Hey, you'd better behave yourself. This is our territory… Bang~!" John's words were not finished when Mr. Hydegrabbed him and threw him flying.
"Bastards, you all deserve to die! If my lovely daughter suffers even a little harm, I will tear you all to pieces, bit by bit." Mr. Hyde threw away the briefcase he used to pose as a successful person, directly rolled up his sleeves, and strode towards Pietro.
"Is that so? Then let's try it." Seeing John thrown flying, Pietro's gaze also completely turned cold. With his whole body turned into steel, he also met him head-on.
"Thud~!" With a muffled sound, two fists met, and both Mr. Hyde and Pietro involuntarily took a few steps back.
At this moment, John, who had fallen into the corner, suddenly stood up. Mutants generally have much stronger physiques than ordinary people, so John could withstand such a fall.
"Old man, you made a huge mistake." John said, and a dozen scorching fireballs the size of basketballs suddenly appeared, rotating around John. "So, are you ready to be burned to ashes?"
Ch 144
Boom, boom~!" One after another, basketball-sized Fireballs exploded on Mr. Hyde's body, and because of John's control, these Fireballs were extremely flexible, making it impossible for Mr. Hyde to dodge them.
In just a moment, Mr. Hyde's clothes were scorched, and his skin showed burned wounds, but these burned wounds slowly healed after his flesh Creep ed.
"It seems your recovery ability is quite good, so how about trying this?" John said, and the scattered Mars in the air suddenly ignited, transforming into a giant Fire pillar that enveloped Mr. Hyde.
High temperature and lack of oxygen instantly acted upon Mr. Hyde, causing him to grunt and half-kneel on the ground.
And when Mr. Hyde struggled to stand up and tried to break out of the Fire encirclement, the Fire pillar suddenly split open a gap, and on the other side of the gap, John was holding up a giant Fireball with a diameter of one meter.
"My boss told me not to learn those flashy things from evil magic users. As a Fire-element Mutant, I only need to know how to make Fireballs. If one doesn't work, use two. If two still don't work, then make a big one. So, are you ready to take this Fireball of mine now?" Johnfinished speaking and threw the giant Fireball towards Mr. Hyde.
Feeling the terrifying temperature emanating from the Fireball, Mr. Hyde's pupils constricted. He could feel that if he was hit by this Fireball, he would either die or lose half his life.
"You forced my hand." A resolute glint flashed in Mr. Hyde's eyes. How could he stay here when he was about to see his daughter?
He suddenly pulled out several syringes from his Arms, and then injected all the liquid from these syringes into his arm at once.
"Roar~!" When the injections were complete, Mr. Hydesuddenly let out a low roar like a Beast. One could see the veins on his body bulge violently, and the muscles of his upper body swelled as if inflated, his bloodshot eyes filled with a ferocious and brutal rage like a wild Beast.
"Get out of my way~!" Mr. Hyde roared, punching out at the Fireball.
The sharp punch directly tore apart the Fire pillar and the Fireball. When physics is pushed to its limit, it can also achieve the effects of magic. And the last freak who extinguished flames by swinging his fist was Hulk.
"This… how is this possible?" John was stunned by this scene. His Fireball was actually torn apart by someone using physical force and their fist. How could such a thing happen in this World?
Is my boss lying to me? No, it can't be. It must be that I'm not strong enough, and the Fireball I made isn't big enough. It must be like that.
"So, are you ready to be torn to shreds by me now?" And in the instant John was distracted, Mr. Hyde had already sneered and rushed towards John. With John's fragile body, once Mr. Hyde got close, the outcome could be imagined to be terrifying.
"John, look out~!" Seeing this, Pietro quickly blocked Mr. Hyde.
"Thump~!" The fists of the two big men collided again, and the next moment Pietro was sent flying directly, crashing heavily into the wall.
"Hey, hey, you guys are making a bit too much noise." Lu Yifang clapped his hands and slowly walked down from upstairs.
"It's you~!" When Mr. Hyde saw Lu Yifang, he immediately felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. The scene of Lu Yifang throwing containers at him before was too memorable.
The serum strengthened his power and also gave him instincts like a Beast. He could feel the dangerous aura emanating from Lu Yifang. Fighting this person, he might very well die. But so what? For his daughter, Daisy, let alone one Lu Yifang, even if it were a God and the entire World standing in his way, he would still kill them to show his resolve.
"Give Daisy back to me." Mr. Hyde roared, charging at Lu Yifang like a raging Beast.
"Bang~!" Lu Yifang stretched out his hand and caught Mr. Hyde's fist. Reality, after all, is not a passionate emotional manga; it is always much crueler than ideals.
"One question, you are actually a Mutant, aren't you? A forcibly awakened Mutant." Lu Yifang said indifferently. After watching Mr. Hyde's battle with John and Pietro, Lu Yifang came to this conclusion.
Mr. Hyde is not Inhumans, which is also why, besides looking for his daughter, he has been wandering outside and cannot easily see his wife. Inhumans reject any non-Inhumans, even the husband of their leader.
And to say he's an ordinary person, an ordinary person taking two bottles of medicine can defeat two third-tier Mutants, and they are two Mutants who definitely have the potential to advance to Lv4 in the future. And it is said that this guy, at his peak, could even go head-to-head with Thor. Are you kidding me?
Getting stronger should follow basic laws, right? The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation. You have nothing, and you're going to ascend to the heavens with just two bottles of medicine. Do you think this World was created by some author who drank two catties of strong liquor for no reason? If that were the case, I'd believe that taking two pills could give you millions of Sun's energy.
Not to mention anything else, just this guy's drug resistance alone—he can withstand hormone injections that could kill ten elephants. You're telling me you're an ordinary person? You must be cheating.
An ordinary person this awesome, one bottle of medicine gives Captain America-level combat power, two bottles give ten Captain America-level combat power, three bottles give... I feel like this analogy is a bit off, but anyway, if this were possible, then what's the point of Mutants having X gene?
So, it seems that Mr. Hyde can only be a forcibly awakened Mutant. He is the husband of Jia Ying, the leader of the Inhumans remaining on Earth, and naturally, he can obtain some Inhumans technology.
And because of the similarity in origin between Inhumans and Mutants, coupled with Mr. Hyde's talent, he successfully developed a serum that can forcibly awaken abilities. However, his awakened ability might not actually be strong, so Mr. Hyde also prepared some other drugs. It was through the dual effect of the serum and his ability that Mr. Hyde gained his current strength.
"Can you stop and calmly listen to me?" Lu Yifang said with a slight frown.
"Let's talk properly after I twist your head off." Mr. Hydegrowled, and his other hand suddenly gripped Lu Yifang's neck.
"Has he completely lost control of his emotions? What a troublesome guy." Knowing that reasoning was futile with this guy, Lu Yifang decided to apply some physics. After all, countless past examples have proven that the most efficient way to turn an enemy into a friend is to apply physics before reasoning.
But just as Lu Yifang was about to make a move, a surprised woman's voice came.
"What are you doing?" Skye came out of the room. She had been changing clothes with Katie and suddenly heard the commotion. At this moment, seeing the chaotic scene, she was completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Ch 145
You are… Daisy!" Mr. Hyde's body trembled when he saw Skye. Just a moment ago, he had been full of murderous intent and cruelty, like a ferocious Beast, but now Mr. Hyde seemed to have suddenly sobered up.
"My dear daughter, it's really you. I truly… I simply can't believe my eyes. This is all like a dream, and I'm afraid of waking up… But no matter what, I've finally seen you." Mr. Hyde, who was so excited he was incoherent, walked step by step towards Skye. The hand that had just been able to punch Colossus away was now trembling slightly.
However, facing Mr. Hyde at this moment, Skyeinvoluntarily took a step back. This man, who looked like a wild Beast and a monster, did not make her feel any closeness; instead, she felt a strong sense of fear.
"You… don't come closer," Skye said in a terrified voice.
"Daisy, you…" Hearing this, Mr. Hyde was stunned for a moment, and then he saw his own rough, monstrous hand, like a Beast's claw.
"It's not like that, Daisy, this is just a… I mean, I should have been…" Mr. Hyde tried hard to make himself sound more refined, but he already found that his suit and leather shoes were long ruined.
"This is all a misunderstanding," Lu Yifang's voice came at this moment, sounding like heavenly music to Mr. Hyde's ears.
"That's right, this is all a misunderstanding. The way I am now is because…"
"It's because he mistakenly thought you were kidnapped by us, so he made himself like this to save you," Lu Yifang continued, helping Mr. Hyde fill in the gaps in his speech. "Skye, he is your father who has been missing for many years."
"My father?!" Skye looked at the monster-like man, her tone still full of surprise and uncertainty.
Actually, it wasn't Skye's fault. Precisely because she had lost her parents since childhood, her longing for them naturally led her to endlessly idealize her parents in her heart when she learned they were still alive. And at this moment, someone suddenly brought over a middle-aged man who looked like a monster and told her, "That's right, this man, who would definitely be a child-eating monster in a fairy tale, is your dad."
Anyone facing such a situation, with such a huge psychological gap, would find it somewhat unacceptable.
"Perhaps I should explain your father's situation to you," Lu Yifang said, but then walked over to Mr. Hyde, turned his back, and whispered, "Want to salvage your first impression in your daughter's heart? Then cooperate with me obediently."
"Please, you must help me," Mr. Hyde's voice trembled. At this moment, he was like a drowning man in despair, suddenly grasping a lifeline. Even when facing Deathjust now, Mr. Hyde had never been afraid, but now he truly felt very scared and helpless. This fierce monster, at this moment, was like a fatally wounded Beastalready in Extremis, looking at Lu Yifang with pleading eyes.
"As long as you can help me, I'll do whatever you want."
"Just that sentence is enough." Lu Yifang, who had originally intended to extort Mr. Hyde severely, looked into Mr. Hyde's eyes at this moment and was suddenly moved for no reason. The lines he had prepared had now turned into such a vague sentence; he had, after all, softened.
Lu Yifang turned his gaze to Bobby, signaling him to take Mr. Hyde to change clothes, while he himself walked towards Skye and led her to another room.
"So, while we have this time, let me tell you about your father." And so, Lu Yifang, who had prepared a set of explanations, roughly told Skye some of Mr. Hyde's story, half beautified and half fabricated.
The main point was how much Mr. Hyde had sacrificed over the years to find his daughter and reunite his family, turning himself into this neither-human-nor-ghost appearance. As for the fact that Mr. Hyde was also an evil boss, Lu Yifang appropriately omitted that detail.
"So my father became like this because of me," Skyesaid, covering her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes. Of course, although she was deeply moved, Skye's intelligence hadn't dropped to negative as a result. "But if he and my mother valued me so much, then why did they abandon me in the first place?"
"This question…" Lu Yifang certainly knew some things, but it wasn't his place to say them. Wouldn't it be better to let Mr. Hyde, who was right there, explain all the detailed questions?
"Let him answer your doubts personally." After noticing Bobby's gesture of walking in, Lu Yifang suddenly stood up and walked to the door, opening it.
At this moment, Mr. Hyde, Calvin Zabo, who had returned to his original appearance, dressed in a neat suit like a successful person, was looking at Skye with a complex expression.
"Dai… I mean Skye, things are not as you think. Back then, your mother and I truly had no choice, we…" And so, Mr. Hyde, Calvin, recounted how they encountered HYDRA back then, and how Skye's mother was taken for experiments. Then he talked about how, after gaining his powers, he had spent so many years searching for his enemies and simultaneously searching for Skye.
As Calvin and Skye's conversation gradually became normal, Lu Yifang led the others out.
After all, although he wanted to get something from Mr. Hyde, he wasn't so desperate as to not give the father and daughter any time to reunite. Anyway, once inside this research institute, leaving would require his nod of approval.
So, for the rest of the day, Lu Yifang cooperatively created an environment for the father and daughter to be alone. And sure enough, early the next morning, Calvin came to find Lu Yifang alone.
"You want to take Skye away," Lu Yifang said, looking up.
"Correction, her real name is Daisy," Calvin said with a smile, his emotions appearing to be under control. "I want to take Daisy back to see her mother. I'm sure Daisy's mother will be as overjoyed as I am when she sees her."
"I hope so too," Lu Yifang said, echoing with a smile.
"Then tell me, what do you want? I heard Daisy say yesterday that this is also a Mutant research institute, so you want my research data, right? No problem, you helped me find my daughter, I can give you all of this data," Calvin said generously.
"That would be too kind of you, but this is only part of what I want. I want to know more, more original data. I want to enter the Inhumans' secluded place, 'Afterlife'."
"That's impossible." Hearing this, Calvin, who had been smiling just a moment ago, immediately darkened his expression.
"You can ask for something else, because I will absolutely not agree to this request. The Inhumans' secluded location is the Inhumans' biggest secret, concerning their very survival."
"I know all that, and perhaps you've misunderstood something," Lu Yifang said, suddenly laughing.
"First, we are looking for the Inhumans because we actually want to cooperate with them. We are also a race rejected by ordinary people; there's no need for us to fight among ourselves. Second, if I wanted to force you, it would actually be a very simple matter."
Lu Yifang said, taking out a small glass vial and placing it in front of Calvin. "Inside this is a hallucinogen. Just one drop, and you'll tell me everything you know. But I don't want to use this on you, do you understand?"
"I understand, you're threatening me," Calvin said, his gaze quickly turning cold.
"If you insist on thinking that, then I won't deny it," Lu Yifang said calmly. Although Lu Yifang couldn't bring himself to be a villain, he was definitely not a completely good person. More accurately, the Marvel Universe is not friendly to good people at all. The last good person, who was called God's righteous man, has been lying cold in some ice chunk for seventy years now.
"Alright, I hope you don't play any tricks, otherwise I will definitely make you pay the price." After a moment of silence, Calvin, forced by the current situation, sighed and finally agreed to Lu Yifang's request.
Ch 146
When Lu Yifang entered the underground hangar, Calvin, Skye, White Queen, and Katie were waiting for him in front of the X-Men's black stealth jet.
"Alright, everyone, let's get on. I've already spoken to the Professor, and we're authorized to use this plane," Lu Yifang said, leading everyone onto the plane.
However, when Lu Yifang skillfully sat in the pilot's seat, he was stunned by the completely unfamiliar operating system. Out of habit, he then remembered this was a plane, not a car. "Uh, we have the plane now, but the problem is, who knows how to fly this thing?"
"Let me do it," Katie said, taking the main pilot's seat after everyone exchanged glances.
"Katie, you can fly a plane?" Lu Yifang was surprised and asked hesitantly. He had initially hoped for the White Queen, thinking that while she might not have flown this specific X-Men jet, she would certainly have flown many ordinary planes.
Of course, this wasn't the real reason Lu Yifang brought the White Queen. The White Queen was the head of the research institute, and she knew the most about the research progress. Plus, since they were trespassing into Inhumans territory, the Inhumans might react aggressively, and the White Queen, as a powerful psychic, was absolutely adept at "calming" people's emotions.
"Just leave it to me," Katie said, looking up at Lu Yifang. "Did you forget that learning to fly this jet is a mandatory course for becoming an X-Men?"
"Is that so?" Lu Yifang said, turning his gaze to Pietroand Bobby.
Pietro honestly spread his hands. "I've only flown a simulator; I'm not very confident in a real situation."
Bobby frowned slightly. "This course is a bit difficult; I never feel confident during exams."
And John, hearing this, grabbed his hair in despair. "Damn it, I failed again this time."
Lu Yifang looked at the varied expressions of the several people, and his own expression became one of surprise and doubt. "Why don't I know about this course? Are we attending the same school? Did I really skip that many classes?"
"This is my first time flying this plane too. Although you can get support from school resources by consuming credits, using this plane once costs at least five credits, and the actual execution is even more difficult. It's almost impossible for students to get such an opportunity," Katie said excitedly, caressing the control stick.
"Consume credits? Why don't I know about that?" Lu Yifang said, scratching the back of his head. He remembered he had only greeted the Professor. As for following procedures, was there even such a thing?
"Of course there is," Katie said, smiling at Lu Yifang. "Because you're an NPC in the academy."
Lu Yifang: "...."
During the time Katie was teasing Lu Yifang, the overhead ceiling had opened, and the black jet slowly ascended into the air, flying westward according to the coordinates provided by Mr. Hyde and Calvin.
A few hours later, in a secluded valley on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the stealth jet began to slowly descend. Through the cabin window, Lu Yifang could see a cluster of buildings below, a mix of Eastern architecture and modern structures.
This was the hidden abode of the Inhumans—Afterlife.
"It's much more primitive than I imagined. At least the Kamar-Taj of the magic users had large shielding enchantments above it," Lu Yifang murmured, frowning slightly.
However, he quickly came to terms with it. Although the Inhumans' heritage had never been cut off, the portion of Inhumans who controlled the most advanced technology believed in absolute elite rule, so they only selected what they considered to be the most genetically superior Inhumans and moved their city to the Moon.
So, it was understandable that these Inhumans left behind on Earth, while their heritage was preserved, their technological level would have significantly declined. Nevertheless, compared to Mutants whose heritage was completely severed, the things these Inhumans retained still held considerable appeal.
As the jet continued to descend, the stealth device was disengaged, and the pedestrians walking in the city finally noticed the scene. All the pedestrians immediately showed panicked expressions, as if seeing an invading army enter their village, and they all fled into their houses, tightly closing doors and windows.
"It seems these people are more unfriendly to outsiders than the magic users," John muttered upon seeing this.
"That's because they've heard plenty of stories about ordinary people persecuting special humans like them, and among these special humans are both Inhumansand some of you Mutants," Calvin explained.
"If that's the case, then we have even more in common," Lu Yifang said, stepping out of the cabin first.
At this moment, about ten people had walked up to Lu Yifang, and standing in the very center was an Eastern woman with a scar on her face.
The woman stared at Lu Yifang, her eyes filled with wariness and hostility, while the other Inhumans silently shifted their positions, shielding the woman in the center.
"Who are you?" the woman, who seemed to be the leader, asked.
"My dear, it's me! I'm back, and I've brought you a huge surprise! Do you want to know what this surprise is?" When Calvin stepped off the plane and saw the woman, he jogged past Lu Yifang, excitedly approaching the woman like a child.
"Calvin, why are you back?" When she saw her half-mad husband appear before her, the woman was stunned, and her expression immediately became even uglier.
"Look at what you've done, Calvin. You weren't an Inhumans, but because of my relationship with you, out of selfishness, I told you the location of Afterlife, and this is how you repay me. You betrayed me, bringing those hateful ordinary people to the homeland of the Inhumans. Calvin, I used to think you were just emotionally unstable because of the drugs, but now it seems you're completely insane."
"My dear, let me explain," Calvin said, grabbing the woman. "They are not ordinary humans, but Mutants."
"Mutants?" The woman looked suspiciously at Lu Yifangand the others. Seeing this, Lu Yifang immediately glanced at John and Bobby, who understood instantly and conjured several fireballs and ice balls, playing with them.
"Even if they are Mutants, you have no right to bring them here. We Inhumans and Mutants have never had any contact," the woman continued coldly.
"But they helped me find our daughter! Our daughter!" Calvin said, then quickly jogged behind Lu Yifang and the others, pulling Skye in front of the woman.
"Daisy, this is your mother—Jia Ying."
"Mom... Mother!" Encouraged by Calvin, Skye uttered the address.
"This is... our daughter." Hearing the word "Mom," the woman named Jia Ying trembled slightly, instinctively reaching out to caress Skye's face, her expression becoming emotional.
As a mother, the moment she saw Skye, her intuition told her that this girl was her daughter.
But she was not an ordinary woman after all. After a brief moment of excitement, knowing the bigger picture, she immediately suppressed her emotional outburst and ordered her subordinates to take Skye away.
Jia Ying, having tidied her appearance, her expression became serious again. "Guests, I am very grateful for your help in finding my daughter. I imagine you didn't just come here to bring my daughter back. Please come this way; I can make an exception and talk with you."
Ch 147
In the room, besides Lu Yifang and his group, there were only Jia Ying, Calvin, and a blind Inhumans man.
If he remembered correctly, this blind man was named Gordon, and his ability was area-of-effect teleportation.
Perhaps in Jia Ying's eyes, Calvin and Gordon were enough to protect her safety and demonstrate the Inhumans' confidence to Lu Yifang and the others.
Of course, if she knew the true terrifying strength of the people in front of her, she would never have thought that way.
"As Mutants, you suddenly came to find us Inhumans," Jia Ying said directly, without any pleasantries, sitting upright.
"Because we want to cooperate with you," Lu Yifang, sitting opposite Jia Ying, also got straight to the point, stating his intention.
"Cooperate?" Jia Ying raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Truth be told, she didn't think there was anything for Mutants and Inhumans to cooperate on, but out of politeness, Jia Ying still spoke, "Tell me about it, what kind of cooperation are you talking about?"
"I hope you can provide us with all your research data in the genetic field, and in return, we Mutants are willing to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Inhumans, offering assistance in times of need."
"Are you joking?" Hearing this, Jia Ying felt like she was about to laugh out of anger.
"You're asking for all our research data in the genetic field with an outrageous demand, and all we get in return is an empty promise of assistance in times of need.
Do you take us for fools?"
"Furthermore, we Inhumans are perfectly fine living in seclusion here, so what's the point?"
"I'm not taking you for fools; on the contrary, I believe in your wisdom and foresight, which is why I'm telling you this," Lu Yifang said, his expression unchanged.
"Let me ask a question: why do you Inhumans shrink into this small place, disconnected from society?"
"This is to stay away from the harassment of ordinary humans," Jia Ying said lightly, glancing at Lu Yifang.
"That's right, you fear ordinary humans, because once they notice you, you're finished," Lu Yifang said solemnly.
Compared to Mutants, the Inhumans' structure is more fragile, and their overall strength is weaker.
If Mutants face oppression from ordinary humans, someone like Magneto can cause trouble and prevent ordinary humans from going too far.
However, the Inhumans have no power to resist in front of ordinary humans.
After all, this branch of Inhumans on Earth is merely a discarded one, and the forces on Earth that can deal with them are too many to count.
Yet, they hide abilities within them; an innocent man is guilty for possessing a treasure.
Being special humans whose abilities are not strong enough is the greatest original sin of this branch of Inhumans on Earth; there are many who want to wipe them out completely.
"Let me ask another question: as ordinary human technology develops and their active range expands, how long do you think you can hide here?
If this place is exposed, where else can you hide?
In the Congo Basin in Africa, or in the Amazon Rainforest?"
"We..." Jia Ying finally fell silent; she knew the Inhumans' situation better than anyone.
"Then what qualifications do you have to offer us refuge?
Can you represent that Mutant faction, the X-Men? Or the Brotherhood?"
Hearing Jia Ying's clearly wavering words, Lu Yifangsuddenly grinned: "I represent all of them!"
"You..." Hearing this, Jia Ying was clearly stunned for a moment, then looked at Calvin, and from her husband's eyes, she received an affirmative answer.
For so many years, the Inhumans' connection with the outside World has been very weak, and the biggest source of information among them is Mr. Hyde, Calvin.
Jia Ying also knew that although Calvin had become somewhat neurotic due to medication, his mind hadn't broken; even if he was a madman, he was a smart madman, because Jia Ying trusted Calvin's words.
"So, the power of Mutants has begun to integrate."
"Isn't that normal?" Lu Yifang said with a smile.
Since the last lineage of Mutants was broken during the primitive slave era, all Mutants integrated into human society.
In recorded history, some legendary heroes, some capable individuals with mysterious powers, and even some falsely accused witches and wizards who were burned to death, might have been Mutants.
Even with extraordinary talents, Mutants' actions were limited when they weren't united and didn't understand their own powers.
But all of this changed with the development of human technology and increasingly convenient information dissemination.
As humans entered modern society, Mutants also expanded with the population growth.
More importantly, due to the convenience of information communication, Mutants scattered across the Worldbecame more closely connected.
Thus, after the initial one or two hundred years, some Mutants began to learn to band together, then explore their abilities together and share experiences.
After the Cold War era, Mutants entered the chaotic era of warlordism like the Hellfire Club, where some Mutant groups continuously annexed other Mutantorganizations through combat, seizing their interests to strengthen themselves.
Finally, this chaotic era of warlordism was ended by Professor X and Magneto working together.
The two, who spent their entire lives on this, successfully led Mutants into a peaceful transition era.
Of course, Professor X and Magneto did not want to stop there; they wanted to see someone inherit their steps and push this transition era further, into an era of integration.
This is the era of the rise of Lu Yifang's generation of new Mutants, the best era for Mutants, and also the era that will face the most challenges.
"So you are also looking for a way out for your own people," Jia Ying's gaze fixed on Lu Yifang.
Although this young man in front of her was still very young, as the leader of the Inhumans, she still perceived something similar to herself in Lu Yifang's eyes: concern for the future of her own people.
"I can agree to your request and form an alliance with the Mutants, but I have one condition.
I hope you can help us with something, and of course, this matter will definitely be beneficial to both of us."
"Please speak," Lu Yifang extended his hand, signaling.
Jia Ying didn't speak directly, but suddenly stood up and carefully pulled out a small box from a drawer behind her, then took out a dark blue crystal from the box.
"This thing is called Terrigen Mist.
We Inhumans are somewhat different from you Mutants; we cannot awaken actively but require the catalytic stimulation of Terrigen Mist.
And even humans with Inhumans genes are not necessarily all suitable for awakening, and the purity of Terrigen Mist also has a significant impact on the success rate of awakening.
And unfortunately, our technology and equipment are very insufficient, and the Terrigen Mist we produce has too many impurities, which greatly affects the awakening rate of Inhumans."
"So you want us to help you produce higher purity Terrigen Mist," Lu Yifang said, staring at the dark blue crystal in front of him.
"Terrigen Mist is the highest technological achievement of the Inhumans, and the difficulty of purification is not small.
Of course, what's even more difficult is that we also need to increase the production of Terrigen Mist while maintaining high purity," Jia Ying explained.
"So what do you want to express?" Lu Yifang said calmly.
"You should know that we Inhumans were created by the Kree using the genes of Mutant ancestors, and I know about a Kree experimental ruin left on Earth.
Besides the manufacturing technology for Terrigen Mist, it is very likely to hide the secret of the Inhumans' origin, and of course, correspondingly, there will definitely be secrets of Mutants as well."
Ch 148
We call that place the sacred object, and for all these years, the Inhumans have never given up on searching for it," Jia Ying explained to Lu Yifang.
"So you already know where the sacred object is?" Lu Yifang asked. Since Jia Ying brought up the matter, it proved that this was no longer just a legend.
"No, we don't know," Jia Ying shook her head. "But we know the method to find the sacred object, which is the sacred object, and we do have a lead on the whereabouts of the sacred object."
After Jia Ying finished speaking, she pulled out a large photograph from a drawer. The photo showed a tin box, which was labeled with the number 084 and also had three large letter symbols—SSR—drawn next to it.
Hmm, so it's an SSR. No wonder it's called a sacred object, and you Inhumans haven't found it after all these years. It seems my non-European bloodline is correct. Thinking this way, the purpose of their request for help is also very clear. These guys obviously want to use my White hand to get the SSR sacred object and achieve their goal of sneaking into Europe. They've really made a good calculation.
"Inside this is our Inhuman sacred object—the obelisk." Jia Ying, completely unaware of what Lu Yifang was thinking, continued to explain.
"This obelisk was first found by HYDRA during World War II. Later, the U.S. Howling Commandos defeated HYDRA, and a lady named Ms. Carter personally sealed away the items, including the obelisk."
"Ms. Carter, if I'm not mistaken, you must be referring to the famous World War II heroine and founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.," Lu Yifang said, frowning slightly.
"So this obelisk was sealed by S.H.I.E.L.D., which is a troublesome matter."
"No, the obelisk was placed in a military Base under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Government," Calvin took over from Jia Ying and continued to explain.
"From Ms. Carter's perspective, the obelisk was a dangerous unknown technological product. If it were taken by some radical scientists for research, it would inevitably lead to accidents. And such scientists were not only found in HYDRA; S.H.I.E.L.D. also had them. Another S.H.I.E.L.D. founder, Howard Stark, was exactly the kind of person Ms. Carter was worried about."
"You know these things too," Lu Yifang looked at Calvinsuspiciously. This Mr. Hyde knows a bit too much.
"Because I've also been searching for the obelisk all these years, and I even had contact and cooperated with someone, a scoundrel I wish I could tear to shreds," Calvin said, clenching his fists, his expression becoming agitated.
Noticing the change in Calvin's emotions, Jia Yingreached out and soothingly stroked Calvin's hand. "It's okay, those people will definitely pay the price. We will take revenge on everyone who has harmed us."
As Jia Ying spoke, the deep resentment unconsciously revealed in her voice made Lu Yifang raise an eyebrow. But after a moment of hesitation, Lu Yifang ultimately did not bring up the matter further. "So if we get this thing, you'll have a way to find that Kree ruin."
"We have that confidence," Jia Ying said with a smile. "And as long as we find the sacred object, we can completely share the knowledge and information about the Kree inside. This can be considered deepening our cooperation, what do you think?"
"That would be perfect," Lu Yifang also smiled.
After the agreement was reached, people from both sides relaxed. So, for the next half-day, Lu Yifang, along with Katie and a few others, was personally led by Jia Ying on a tour of "Afterlife," the homeland of the Inhumans, gaining a better understanding of the Inhumans' situation.
As night fell, Lu Yifang boarded the invisible fighter jet, carrying the knowledge and data provided by the Inhumans, as well as specific information about the obelisk. Although the alliance was formed, Lu Yifangdid not intend to stay here for too long; creating other variables later would be more trouble than it was worth.
"So we're really going to help them seize this so-called obelisk from the U.S. Government?" As soon as they got on the plane, Katie couldn't help but speak, and while Pietro and Bobby didn't say anything, their expressions showed their thoughts.
Up until now, their missions at most involved punishing evil and acting as superheroes, which was consistent with the X-Men's identity. Being enemies with a national agency was something they had never even considered before, let alone done.
"It must be done, but you don't need to do it," Lu Yifangsaid, suddenly turning his gaze to White Queen.
"So you intend to use the power of the Brotherhood," White Queen stretched, saying in a lazy voice.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just stealing something. There's no need for such a large-scale operation. A few people from the Institute will be enough," Lu Yifang said with a smile.
"Boss, can I participate?" John excitedly raised his hand and said. Unlike the others, this guy was someone who loved chaos and never thought a commotion was too big.
"You can't," Lu Yifang shook his head. He wasn't doubting John's strength; rather, he wanted to protect John.
Because whether it was John or anyone else, their abilities were highly recognizable. Once or twice might be fine, but repeated instances would definitely lead to exposure, and then they would lose the right to walk in the bright World.
So, such matters were best left to White Queen and Red Devil. After all, they had already done enough dirty work and hard labor in the Brotherhood, so this wouldn't make much difference.
So, after returning to the Institute and planning for two days, Lu Yifang finally formulated a detailed plan. After that, Lu Yifang drove, taking White Queen, Red Devil, and Katie, to the military Base where the obelisk was located.
"This is the internal structure map of this military Basethat we obtained. Due to confidentiality, what we got is not very detailed. Can you take us in?" Lu Yifang said to Red Devil.
"Of course, that's not a problem. If I hadn't been to this place before, then even if it were in your room, I could still take you in," Red Devil looked at the structure map, then at the nearby military Base, and said confidently.
"Good. You can do that after the mission is complete. That would save us the trouble of going back," Lu Yifang said, suddenly putting on a black robe, a top hat, and a mask, looking like a mysterious masked magician.
With a disguise, given the versatility of Lu Yifang's abilities, it was not difficult to conceal his identity.
"So, are you two ready?" Red Devil finished speaking, then grabbed White Queen and Lu Yifang. With a flash of red light, the three had disappeared from their original spot.
"Are we already inside?" When Lu Yifang came to his senses, he found himself in a room filled with data cables and dozens of data server cabinets.
"Can you contact Katie?" Lu Yifang asked White Queen.
"Of course," White Queen said, then reached out and touched Lu Yifang's forehead.
"Lu Yifang, can you hear my voice?" Katie's voice resonated in Lu Yifang's mind at this moment.
"Hmm, not only that, but I can also gain your vision. It seems mental connection is indeed a very convenient ability," Lu Yifang said with a smile in his mind. Using psychic abilities to connect the minds of two people for communication, if Professor used Cerebro to do it, he could freely connect any two or more people on Earth.
And while White Queen wasn't that exaggerated, this distance was still extremely easy for her.
