Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

Chapter 305

As Carl had expected before, although both sides looked at each other very unpleasantly when they met for the first time, as time went by, Louise and Tony gradually changed their views on each other. Learn something about the other person.

They get along very well now, although there is still a long gap between the "friendship" that Carl guessed.

To put it simply, even though they all admitted their own mistakes in judgment and the excellence of the other party in their hearts, there was still such an unhappiness in their hearts, so when they saw each other, they couldn't help but fight with others.

Seeing that Louise and Tony were about to quarrel, Karl quickly evacuated the scene.

It's true that Bruce still hasn't set out in Gotham City, and he did tell Carl that he would let Dick come alone, but Carl's saying that he was going to pick up Dick at the door... It can't be said to be false, it's just not so accurate.

Because he had work to do before he went to fetch Dick.

Using the space gem to open the space door, Karl stepped into the New York Temple in one step.

"You're late," said the doctor.

He stared intently at the... Carl couldn't recognize what it was, but thought it looked a bit like a tightly packed circuit board or a minimalist satellite map with finely detailed lines drawn in various colors. Lines of different colors flash and echo each other, as if conveying some kind of information.

"I've come to fulfill my promise, doctor, please tell me what help you need."

Karl stood behind the doctor and watched the picture with him, since the doctor didn't seem to want to hide this thing.

They stared at the picture in silence for ten minutes.

Dr. Strange suddenly seemed to realize that Carl was looking at this picture with him, and turned his head belatedly: "Can you understand it?"

"I don't understand." Carl admitted honestly.

"Then why are you standing behind me." The doctor was also speechless.

He turned around and walked towards the open place. The moment he turned around, the flickering lines on the picture were all extinguished, and what was hanging in place was only an empty picture frame and a piece of clean parchment without words.

Two chairs rose out of nowhere, the doctor sat on the main seat, and Carl sat down opposite the doctor.

"Before I state the help I need, I have a question, Superman," said the Doctor. "As the first alien to reveal his identity on Earth, what do you think of the universe?"

"Chaos." Carl said without thinking, "Chaos is the essence of the universe."

"Well, our understanding of the universe is very consistent - in principle, the universe is not the best home for us, because the universe is disordered, and our biological characteristics and consequent psychological characteristics require order , this thing that keeps us alive as a whole can only be achieved on a small scale. If you can understand this, you can understand what I am about to say."

When he said this, Strange paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to say the next thing.

But in the end he chose to speak bluntly: "Before I lent you the time gem, I have seen all the futures. You are right, the earth is about to face a huge disaster."

"But this kind of disaster does not come from aliens trying to invade the earth, but from human beings themselves, from the heart of human exploration - the exploration of the truth and the future - the invasion of aliens will become an opportunity. "

"But the opportunity came too soon."

Dr. Strange's meaning was very clear, and Karl could understand it, but he was a little confused at the same time: "Sorry, doctor, I don't quite understand what you want to say."

"Your power far exceeds what the earth can carry, so that the vast majority of human beings don't even realize the gap between them and you." The doctor said coldly, "Imagine that aliens invade one after another. , was defeated one after another by you and your friends; the alien wreckage they left behind will bring countless technologies that are ahead of the people on Earth, and even some technological development lines are completely untouched by humans.”

"The government will recycle these high-tech equipment, invest huge resources in researching and transforming it, and try to make itself have similar powers - just like SHIELD trying to decipher space after getting the space gem in your hand. Like a gem."

"The power radiation emitted by the space gem attracted Loki." Carl said, "and Thanos."

"Then you should be able to understand what I mean by now." Strange nodded slightly, "The invasion of Planet Chirita is imminent, and I hope you don't intervene."

"...it's difficult," Carl said.

"The Thanos after Zirita's army is your enemy, Superman." The doctor said, "This is not a mandatory requirement. I know it is very difficult for you to make such a decision, but it is necessary. : Humans need to understand how small and helpless they are in the universe."

"They didn't need to understand this." Carl had mixed feelings.

"I can understand where your protective desire for Earthlings comes from, Superman, but your obsession with humans goes too far. It's dangerous, both for you and for those you protect."

Strange nodded at him, then drew a space door in mid-air with a turn of his hand.The meaning of seeing off the guests was obvious, Karl did not refuse the doctor's kindness, and returned to his home through the space door.

He stayed there for a few minutes in a bad mood before slowly walking towards the gate of the main house.

Dick was in a very good mood.

He sits in the back seat, looking out the window excitedly. This is not the first time he has left Gotham. As a child, he toured with his parents' circus, and he is no stranger to being away from his homeland. Well, the distance between the metropolis and Gotham City is quite close, and it must be said that the distance he went out this time is actually not far.

However, this was the first time he went to another city in the name of visiting a friend—a friend of his adoptive father—and everything outside the window was so wonderful and novel to him.

Al's main house is located on the outskirts of the metropolis. It covers a large area and is larger than Wayne Manor in Gotham City. Dick noticed that there were many reporters wandering around the road along the way, probably hoping to meet Carl or Tony by chance. Then once or twice.

During this period of time, the big news caused by the US imperialism has been gushing out like a blowout.

From "The Death of Peggy Carter" to "The Resurrection of Captain America", the life and death of these two most famous World War II heroes in the United States can be said to have touched the sensitive nerves of the entire country. The hits of the two films A pot of hot oil was added to the fire, and the entire press world collapsed.

The news hadn't died down long before Carl and Lex came out to the world in an unexpected way and on an unexpected occasion.

Good guy, these two low-key bosses instantly captured the attention of the world. People who are as rich as they are, the public will no longer judge them by the rules of judging ordinary people, although the abuse caused by this and reprimanded a lot, but they received more admiration and blessings, and small groups in some cities also held large-scale carnivals and parades.

Finally, the wave gradually calmed down, the heat of this matter decreased, people's lives returned to normal, and Superman came to join in the fun again.

His interview seemed to drop a nuclear bomb on the entire human society.

Using "heat" and "flow" to describe the waves caused by this interview is no longer sufficient, and even "phenomenal level" cannot summarize its impact.

Needless to say, human beings have carried out an earth-shaking subversion of the concept of the universe and aliens. The most important thing is those things that are hidden outside the daily life that most people don't know. Those things that affect a country, and through A country that affects the entire world and the entire human race, changes in systems, rules, and development directions——

Everyone knows about the gold rush in the United States, but few people can specifically describe the grand occasion of the gold rush.

In places close to the birthplace of gold mines, almost all businesses ceased operations, company employees sitting at their desks put down paper and pens, farmers sold their land, workers left factories, teachers and students gave up their jobs and studies, and even Government officials resigned, soldiers defected, and even missionaries left their missions.

With the dream of getting rich overnight, thousands of people frantically flocked to California.

And it wasn't just the fact that the gold mine was discovered that supported their actions.

Even more important is the support and guidance of the US imperialist government.

The development direction of a country is controlled by a very few people, and some decrees promulgated lightly by these few people can make countless people make money every day, or ruin their families.

Thinking of this, Karl always feels heavy in his heart.

But he was no longer a child after all, and these things only existed in his mind for a very short period of time, and he soon pulled himself together, waiting for Dick who was about to arrive at the door.

And followed by Steve, Bucky, Diana, Hank, Wanda, Pietro and the X-Men who came with Charles.

Carl on Eric's side also sent a message, but he was not sure if Magneto would be there, but Rao took the initiative to tell Carl after receiving the news, saying that he would bring some core members of the Brotherhood (Carl had seen and more familiar ones) come over.

All the familiar people, Carl, personally sent a message, and received a positive reply from the other party.

There are others that Superman is familiar with, Carl.Al was not familiar with it, and Karl didn't plan to use his other identity to contact them in a short time. After all, he really didn't mind exposing his identity, but those friends might not think so.

"God, are you going to re-enact your 20th birthday party?" Tony said in surprise after knowing that Carl invited so many people. "Don't tell me that everyone you invited is similar to us."

Carl shrugged.

“We all share the same labels and traits,” he said, “but we’re also all unique.”

-

There was actually no concealment in this small gathering, because everyone came here by ordinary traffic routes, and there was basically no cover. It can only be said that it is difficult for ordinary people to know the news of their gathering.

And on a certain level, I am afraid that no one would not know that this group of dangerous guys gathered at Karl's house at the same time.

"Kal-El?" At the Cadmus project headquarters, Amanda quickly browsed through the various materials sent to her, "He gathered a large group of superhumans at home? Captain America, Winter Soldier, X Men, and Iron Man... what is he going to do?"

"His resume is very clean, sir, these people are also his friends." An agent at the side immediately spoke up, "According to our estimation, it should be that Tony Stark couldn't stand the entertainment after staying at his house temporarily. poverty, that’s why so many people are invited to the party.”

Amanda has already read the information in her hand, but as early as with Lex.Before Luther started working together, she probably knew this young man and knew his character.

The agent's guess is also her guess. In her opinion, this matter should be mainly caused by Tony.Stark's idea has little to do with Karl.

"Pay close attention, and report to me if there is any abnormality." She gave instructions for action.

Strictly speaking, the group of people invited by Karl are not within the jurisdiction and contact range of the Sky Eye Society.

The main targets of the Sky Eye Society are Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern, superhumans who have only recently appeared. Regardless of whether it is a soldier who has been injected with serum like Captain America, or a group of mutants, they all died in World War II or even earlier. Appeared, is attributed to the scope of management of the S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, there is no official document on this so-called jurisdiction. It is a delicate balance and tacit understanding between the emerging Sky Eye Society and the old-school S.H.I.E.L.D.

Everyone sets an unspoken scope for each other, to a certain extent, avoiding the repeated use of resources in different departments that belong to the government, and unnecessary internal losses caused by internal fighting.

It's a pity that this kind of harmony is just a superficial effort. Both Fury and Waller look at each other very unpleasantly.

Also informed of the news, Fury, who had just gone to Al's main house to lobby Tony not long ago, pondered for a few seconds before making a phone call.

Natasha, who was fighting left and right against sandbags in the gym to pass the time, was interrupted by the ringing of her mobile phone.

She lazily stretched her body, elongated her limbs like a cat, then shook her head and hands and feet, walked slowly to the table, picked up her mobile phone and put it to her ear: "Hello, Fury?"

The person on the other end of the phone said something, Natasha raised her eyebrows, listened to the other party's speech without saying a word, and then said: "I understand."

She threw the phone aside, turned and walked into the dressing room.

The one who walked out of the dressing room was an elegant lady: Natasha had replaced the dress that was close to her skin with a light golden long dress. What was more colorful than the long dress was her long hair dyed golden, two pearls Stud earrings are dotted on her petite but full earlobes, looming between the gaps in her long hair.

After three hours of galloping, she parked the car outside the gate of Al's main house.

The reporters who had been lingering at the gate of Al's main house and refused to leave gathered around her, and pointed the camera around the car of the woman who covered most of her face with sunglasses, like a hungry woman Vultures eye rotting prey.

Their mouths opened and closed outside the car window, and the chattering noise was blocked by the glass. Natasha frowned, tapped the steering wheel lightly with her fingers, and was still trying to figure out how to get in, when the locked door ahead opened.

Of course, Carl opened the door. Anyway, there are already so many people in the villa, from all spheres of influence, and Natasha who works for S.H.I.E.L.D. is no big deal.

What's more, the Black Widow is a default member of the Avengers, and now it would be good for her to meet Tony in another capacity earlier.

Dick was sitting next to Carl, the TV was turned on, he was wearing earphones, holding the handle, staring at the big screen with full attention, playing games so engrossed that he was oblivious to everything happening around him.

Not far away, the members of the X-Men were excitedly chirping around Steve, and Carl was not surprised to hear someone whispering to Captain America if he could sign him and want to take a photo There are also a lot of people.

On the low table by the window, Charles and Eric, who hadn't contacted for an unknown amount of time, were sitting together, drinking tea and chatting softly about the recent trifles.

Rao and the people he brought each chose to stay in different corners, neither took the initiative to talk to the people around them, nor did they seem particularly incompatible with this hall.

Probably this is also the experience they have gained from being "wanted criminals" and "terrorists" for a long time.

Speaking of which, since Rao took over the Brotherhood of Mutants, their reputation among ordinary people seems to have really improved a lot. It is said that under Rao's arrangement, these mutants who are not very friendly have also begun to learn to be different from ordinary people. It may be because they were originally hiding among ordinary people, without such a utopian base as "Xavier College", this group of people gradually got used to such a life.

No more terrorist attacks, no more being constantly bothered by bounty hunters or official trappers, no more hiding and hiding to cover their tracks, they were suddenly far removed from their old thrills and had nothing to worry about. "Too many guards for the next attack" becomes "Should the downstairs neighbor invite us to a party or not".

Of course, it is impossible for Rao alone to stop the members of the Brotherhood from being wanted. In this regard, Carl heard that Lex has put in a little effort to carry out the operation.

In fact, this is a win-win approach.

The new presidential election is imminent, and a strange trend has set off in the entire American imperial society. Politicians have seized the right time to lobby and win supporters, but they just let go of an organization that they had nothing to do with it. But it is very possible to win a powerful ally. Whether this deal is worthwhile or not, anyone can figure it out.

So Karl's most difficult thing today finally slipped out along his own train of thought:

Are you going to invite his boyfriend over?

There are thousands of reasons for not inviting the other party, but the reasons for inviting the other party are extremely scarce. Karl is still hesitating whether to invite Lex over, and his own psychological trend is quite clear.

He just hasn't been able to convince himself to do it yet.

Tony's voice rescued him from this dilemma:

"Natasha is your pseudonym?"

It can be seen that he tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, but it's a pity that Tony's acting skills are really bad. Carl can guarantee that even if the distance between them is more than two meters apart, the black widow can still smell the smoke in his throat. That awkward smell.

"There's no 'real name' in our line of business, Stark. If it's going to get closer with age, then Natasha is mine," she said, "and one of my favorites. "

In her hand was the glass of golden champagne that Rao had poured on the table, and he arrived at Carl's house after Tony and Dick, and soon took over the duties of looking after the guests, taking Wanda's Everything was taken care of properly.

Pietro was stunned when he saw his sister seriously arranging those wine glasses on the table. He probably never thought that Wanda would do such a trivial thing.

In order to show etiquette, almost everyone had a glass of champagne in their hands, but only Natasha really drank a lot of wine, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

Maybe she is pretending, maybe she is not pretending, maybe she is just a conditioned reflex, just like athletes have trained muscle reactions that are not controlled by the brain, maybe she is born with a physique that makes her head go up when she drinks, even Decades of secret service have not changed that.

What is the difference between whether she really drank too much or faked it?

When people know that she is the Black Widow, whether her every word and every action is true or false, whether it is random or specific, has no meaning.

People will always be skeptical anyway.

"As much as I'm upset about what you've done, given that we're likely to be partners in the future—just call me Tony," Tony said, trying not to be too sharp, "Damn, this Didn't you get several salaries at the same time?"

Natasha chuckled. "Pep should have told you I was a good assistant. I deserve what you pay me."

Carl, who was very close to the dark tide between these two people, took out his mobile phone silently and sent a text message to Lex.

"Do you have time right now?"

"For you, anytime."

"Tony came to my house to hide from the reporters. He thought my house was too deserted and boring, so I called a bunch of people over to accompany him."

Lex's reply seemed calm: "I don't think you will let so many people accompany you."

He must believe Carl's explanation, but even if he did, he would definitely not be in a good mood.

Carl sent another message over.

"I just want you to come with me."

After sending this message, he waited with bated breath for the other party's response.

After more than ten minutes, or a lifetime of ignorance, he heard the roar of the helicopter propeller from far and near.

The sound also alarmed the young people in the hall who were talking quietly with their friends. They raised their heads, looked out of the window curiously, and discussed in low voices who the new guest was.

Rao put down the champagne in his hand and handed over his work to Wanda.

"Mr. Luthor is here." He whispered to his young successor, "It would be inappropriate for me to do this again."

Carl's phone vibrated.

It's a text from Lex.

"I'm right outside the door, Honey," he wrote, and Carl could even imagine a slight smile on his face as he wrote this sentence, "I'll stay with you."

He jumped up from the sofa and trotted excitedly towards the door.

"Young man." Charles sighed with a smile.

Opposite him, Eric dropped a piece on the chessboard without raising his head.

"Young man, hum." He said with a fake smile, "Don't underestimate the courage of young people."
