Friendly neighbors are villains

When the images and evidence of transformed mutants were published on the Internet, people's remaining trust in the American government disappeared, and public anger aroused more hatred, bringing the already chaotic New York into deeper danger.

Some people threw homemade alcohol grenades into the windows of government agencies, and some directly poured gasoline on the fires. For a while, it was hard to tell whether it was the villains or the civilians who used their selfish desires to vent their desires.But whatever it was, Amy's goal had been achieved.

Since the video and evidence also include the two prisons that Amy once hijacked, and the prisons are backed by Stark Industries and the Wayne Group, the news has not been released for an hour, and the two financial giants have been devastated. It is impossible to shirk responsibility, because everything exposed is completely true, without any false rumors.

Those criminals who were forced to undergo experiments can still be accepted by some civilians, but the cruel treatment encountered by the children in the orphanage, even superheroes can't stand it. Such unbearable darkness.

They have always been trying to prevent such things from happening. Up to now, everyone thought that the group of scientists who created mutants or super soldiers and other inhumane experiments had long since collapsed.

Who would have thought that the high-level government would acquiesce, or even directly instigate such a thing, and also used Stark Industries and Wayne Group, most of the money they invested in it before was used for this.

Artificial intelligence is deleting images that are unfavorable to superheroes on the Internet, but the enemy also has very powerful hackers who are constantly uploading and repairing them. The contest between each other is like a war without gunpowder, but the hero has already lost. Well, it just depends on the difference between losing badly and losing very badly.

They don't care whether their reputation is good or not, but the public's suspicion of superheroes means that rescue operations will be hindered. Families with children will fear that their children will be abused and refuse to cooperate. This is what they are most worried about.

Obviously this is what the enemy wanted.

The meeting room in the Avengers Building was also overcrowded today. Whether it was the Avengers, the X-Men, or the Bat-Family, everyone gathered here. Everyone had serious expressions, and even the guy who usually talked a lot shut his mouth at this time. The situation was serious. , no one is in the mood to joke.

"The Duke has started to act." Steve looked at the screen hanging in the middle of the conference table and said, "He has been silent for a month, and he is probably collecting these things." The screen is constantly scrolling and playing, transforming mutant images, Some are animated, others are just photos and text.

"As I said, Rogers, the enemy will never wait until we are ready." Stark's mood was equally depressed, "This is my responsibility." His fingers tapped the table unconsciously, "I should personally Monitor and see where those funds are going.”

"Now is not the time to blame ourselves, Anthony, we should remedy it as soon as possible, at least find a way to upload the video, no one can do it without anyone noticing." Bruce Wayne was madly facing a black tablet Knocking, trying to locate the area where enemy hackers are located via satellite signals.

Everyone has expressed opinions that are not unified, but they have a sense of agreement. The enemy is hiding in the dark, and they will definitely encounter countless troubles if they attack rashly. The stronghold of criminals, those people seem to have some special channel, and they can always escape all surveillance.

They urgently need to find a breakthrough so that they will not be so passive.

Professor X suddenly said: "Where is Amy? I went to the medical room today, and she is no longer there. No one told me she moved out of the ward." Charles looked at Stark.

It seems that everyone didn't notice the fact that Amy was missing. The changes that happened during this period made everyone overwhelmed. Only a few members of the Avengers who were more familiar with Amy found that the girl seemed to be no longer in the original place, but they There was no time to ask for proof, and he started running around, and only now sat down to take a breather.

"The child disappeared." Stark said, rubbing the center of his brows, "Not long after she woke up, she suddenly disappeared. We, I mean, Peter and I, have been looking for her for a long time .”

The meeting room suddenly fell silent, and everyone gradually turned their attention to Peter.

"Hey boy, did the couple fight?" Natasha said with a smile. "Did she dump you, or did they break up amicably?"

"We didn't break up." Peter said unconfidently. "Amy was in the medical cabin. She said she wanted to drink warm water. I went to the kitchen, and when I came back, she was gone."

There is no expression on Peter's face, even though his heart is beating wildly. Amy said that he should learn how to manage expressions to avoid being seen through his mind. The girl is right. When he no longer has rich expressions on his face, Even Natasha didn't see through his emotions.

In fact, he did not lie, but just hid the details, Peter did not plan to make it public for the time being, he wanted to figure out the reason by himself.

"Could it be that chameleon from last time?" Clint said. "He came back and kidnapped Amy while we were all out?"

Peter heard someone asking who "Amy" was.

When Peter returned to the infirmary that day with a heavy heart, Amy was not in the bed or anywhere else in the room.For a moment, Peter thought the girl was playing a prank on him, but then, when he thought about Amy and the Duke, he realized that Amy might have been taken away by someone.

Peter found the note on the pillow of the hospital bed, and his despair eased a lot, but more questions followed. Who is Amy, what is the meaning of the note, is it true? Who took her away, Amy was so badly injured, can she stand up to the rush?

The successive questions disturbed Peter's thinking. His first reaction was to pick up the phone and dial Amy's number, but he only got prompts that "this user shuts down the phone" again and again.Then, Peter called up the monitoring, but he could only see Amy walking towards the blind spot of the camera, and then no longer appeared in the camera.

It seems that there is no second person in the surveillance, but this cannot be used as evidence that there is no second person, in case the enemy can become invisible, or use other methods.

To Peter's surprise, Amy was able to get out of bed by herself.

Peter never knew that the monitors in the Stark Tower actually had the defect of blind spots. The camera could clearly capture the entire room, and even some inconspicuous corners could be clearly seen, but Amy just disappeared in such a weird way. .

The boy considered for a long time, whether to tell Stark the content of the note and his suspicion of Amy, what he should tell him, Peter was extremely tormented.

On the one hand, it's not in line with Peter's code of conduct. If Amy is wrong, then he is covering the criminal. If Amy is innocent, then he has lost her again.

But in the end, Peter didn't do that, and he even deleted the surveillance video.

Peter wanted to find out the truth by himself. If Amy made an unforgivable mistake, the boy hoped that he could arrest her himself. At least, he would not hurt her.

"Did her aunt know that her niece was missing?" asked Natasha. "Has anyone told the lady about it?"

"She's missing too." Stark sighed. "I know it sounds unbelievable, but whether it's Amy or her aunt, it's like two people who never existed. They're gone."

At this time, the artificial intelligence issued a warning voice.

"Sir, four banks in New York were robbed and the robbers took all the cash within one minute."

The location of the bank and the surveillance footage at that time appeared on the hanging screen. The vaults in four places were invaded at the same time, and the enemy took away trillions of dollars worth of property with little effort.

Soon, a familiar face broke into everyone's sight-Magneto.

He directly lifted the roofs of the four banks. When the army arrived, only concrete remained in those four places.

Stark lost more than half of his wealth in 1 minute, not counting the stock price he fell to hell.

"They obviously have hackers, so why do they keep robbing banks to exchange money." Clint questioned, "Could it be that they want to show off their power deliberately, but luckily I never store money in banks."

"Shut up, Barton, I'm afraid I don't have any extra money to pay you this month." Stark took out his phone angrily and tapped.

"Robbing a bank is really not Eric's style, and he doesn't need those things." Charles said, "Someone asked him to do it."

"The Duke." Bruce Wayne said, "He needs cash. Only by using cash will we not find his hiding place."

Stark located Magneto's energy source, and he was nearby, not far from the Avengers Building. When Stark sent all the nano-corps out, Magneto's energy source suddenly disappeared in front of the positioning system, just like It's like turning on some kind of shielding device to prevent radar scanning.

However, the superpower positioning equipment discovered by Stark is very comprehensive, and it is impossible to suddenly find it impossible to find it.

This is not the first time, Stark took the mobile phone and pushed the people in the way to the window, looking at the location where Magneto disappeared, and compared it with the street outside the window.

Ignoring everyone's doubts, he gestured to the window: "That building." He suddenly pointed to the tall building not far away and said, "Has any of you ever gone in, or talked to the people inside?"

Everyone stared at the building that Stark was talking about, and everyone said that they had never entered it, and they had never seen anyone living in it. It should be a commercial building without any signs, not even billboards.

"What's wrong there?" Peter asked, walking over and looking out the window. He seemed to have a little impression of it, sometimes swinging through the middle of the building.

"The strangest thing is that nothing is wrong. I once tried to cooperate with the users of that building, but the other party did not respond." Stark said, "Look at that place, it is almost as tall as the Avengers Building, who is there?" Do you know when it was built, at least I don't remember seeing it repaired."

It is absolutely impossible for such a tall building to be completed in New York without anyone noticing it. The foundation alone requires a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as various complaints from the surrounding residents.

But Stark, including other people in the meeting room who live in New York, did not know when there was such a tall building there. Before that, no one had doubts about it, as if everyone thought it was originally It's there, but it's not.

"It's really strange." Professor X came over in a wheelchair and said, "There is a magnetic field around the building, and my telepathy can't penetrate it."

"Clint and I are going to investigate." Natasha said, she stood up and said, "By the way, find out the whereabouts of Amy and her aunt. Maybe there are some dark secrets in that building."

The meeting ended hastily under a rather heavy atmosphere. Everyone has their own tasks. They actually don’t have that much time to sit in a clean and comfortable place to participate in the meeting. More often, they can only communicate with each other through headsets or Avengers. Card connection.

"Peter, you stay here and wait for orders." Steve said, and he called out the names of several young people, "The Avengers Building needs you to stay behind. In case of attack, at least someone can transfer the family members."

Peter stayed in the conference room and did not leave. He was staring at the distant tall buildings in a daze. Someone patted him on the shoulder, and the boy almost spewed spider webs at the people behind him.

"Quite responsive," Charles said with a smile.

"Oh, sorry, Professor." Peter said with a sigh of relief.

"During the meeting just now, you were in a bad mood." Charles said, "Maybe you want to talk to someone, I guess it's because of Amy, right? After all, you were the last person to see her."

Peter was slightly nervous: "You read my mind?"

"No, boy, I never enter other people's brains casually, that's like an uneducated butcher." Charles turned the wheelchair and moved to where Peter was standing, "But, I can feel your brain waves are very Strong, perhaps, would you like to hear my thoughts?"

"Okay, Professor, what are you going to tell me?" Peter asked seriously.

"I always feel that the world we see now has been modified." Charles looked at Peter, and the boy frowned deeply. "I can't leave Xavier School until Magneto appears in the public eye."

"What do you mean?" Peter asked.

"Literally," Charles said, "not just me, all of the X-Men, we're all on our own turf."

"Have you been restricted by someone?" Peter asked.

"No one was restricting us, but we just couldn't get out, and every time me and the others wanted to leave that area, there was another important thing that happened that forced us to stay where we were, every single time. "Professor X said, "Although it sounds strange, the fact is that we are indeed trapped. I have done countless tests."

"I still have some, I can't understand, it sounds like a curse, but you are in New York now, does this mean that the curse has been lifted?" Peter showed a blank expression.

"It's not that the curse has been lifted, but that we are needed." Charles said, "Because Magneto is here, Professor X and his team are needed. I also discussed this matter with Bruce Wayne, and he also Had the same situation, he was stuck in Gotham, it's just that Bruce didn't realize it was a problem, what about you, have you ever left New York?"

"Of course," Peter said, "I've been a lot."

"It's limited to the United States, right? Every time it's because of missions, not for travel or to meet your own needs." Professor X said.

Peter blinked his eyes, he seemed to feel a little weird, if you don't pay attention to these details, you won't think about it. However, when someone reminded him, Peter immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Amy..." Peter took out the note he had hidden in his pants pocket, "This is what Amy left behind before she disappeared."

Charles looked at it and said, "She trusts you a lot, and you have lived up to her trust. You didn't tell others about it, right?"

"Only you know," said Peter. "I'm not sure I'm right, Amy, she keeps calling herself a bad girl."

"So you think she is?" Charles asked.

Peter said: "I never felt her malice, but, I don't understand, I saw Amy talking to the ogre, and now she lost contact again, I don't know what to do to help her, or, I Not even sure if she needs my help."

"Amy must know something, but she can't tell you, or she can't convince you that what she said is true, so she can only find a way by herself." Charles glanced at the text on the note again, "At least, Amy does like you, there is no doubt about it."

"I don't mind if she's Magneto's daughter." Peter might be wrong.

Charles smiled and said, "So, what do you do if she is a woman who is more evil than Magneto?"

"No, it's impossible." Peter said in a panic. "She has a sense of justice and always drives Thompson away for me. Thompson is my high school classmate. He likes to trouble me very much. Amy hates him very much."

"Anyway, I'm sure of one thing now." Charles stopped discussing love with a young man in love, "We're all stuck here for some reason, and only Amy has the chance to help us get out. "

Peter lay in bed tossing and turning, he knew he shouldn't be distracted at this time, but he couldn't help missing Amy.The boy jumped up from the bed, bounced directly to the door and neatly changed into a spider suit, determined to find someone himself.

He swung out of the window and stopped a few times back and forth on the opposite side of that strange building. The spider sensor kept repeating the danger signal, so that Peter didn't know how to prevent it.

It looked like an ordinary commercial building, and there seemed to be nothing suspicious about it. The outside was covered by a kind of solid glass, which reflected a faint blue light even at night.

There were security guards patrolling the gate, and Peter didn't intend to go through the main gate.

Peter first scanned the surroundings of the building with a small aircraft. Infrared rays cannot penetrate inside and cannot sense heat. As Professor X said, there is a magnetic field outside the building that is invisible to the naked eye. Blocked out.

Peter aimed at a glass window and threw the spider web. He thought it would be rebounded by an electric shock or something, but nothing unusual happened.He thought for a while, grabbed the end of the spider silk, made himself firmly attached to the glass surface, and then began to climb up.

He wasn't sure what height he should climb to. The glass was too dark, and even if he put his eyes on it, he couldn't see through the interior. It must have been a kind of single-sided film, so he could only see from the inside to the outside, and couldn't get in from the outside. .

This is not a decoration worth making a fuss about. Many commercial buildings are like this, but if even infrared rays cannot penetrate, there is obviously a secret.

Peter felt like he was doing something crazy, and he didn't know why he had to do it. He was obviously not sure if Amy was in it, but he still wanted to try.

The figure of Spider-Man was printed on the smooth glass window. Peter took a deep breath and made a few jumping movements. He was going to go to the top floor to have a look first.

Peter climbed higher and higher, and he could no longer see the ground clearly, but the boy was used to it.

Suddenly, a few vines entangled Peter's limbs, the glass in front of him cracked, and he was dragged in the next second.

The author has something to say: an epic meeting is coming (and isn't)
