Chapter 97 094: Scam and Lies ([-])

After saying goodbye to Sonia, John, and Marcos in the tavern, Rojo returned directly to the base. On the way back, he could still feel that there were many SHIELD agents and task force members hidden behind the glass of the surrounding buildings.

The current daily task of this group of agents is to guard the mutant underground base to ensure that no problems will arise.

However, Iroho thought it was completely unnecessary. Except for a dozen or so people in the base, the rest would not even take a step forward.

Rojo took out the hidden medicine in the tent and prepared to go to the professor. Today was the time for injection, and the professor usually chose to take a nap after eating at noon, which was conducive to the effectiveness of the medicine.

That is, after getting the medicine and going to the professor's tent.

Rojo found that something was not right in the underground base today. Everyone's face was depressed. He could clearly feel the unwillingness and depression in everyone's hearts, as well as fear and worry.

I had these emotions before, but they were not as strong as they are today.

"It sounds like your operation this time was not easy. I just went to see Eugene. He was injured and he hasn't left the tent since he came back. Everyone is worried."

In the professor's tent, in addition to the professor, there was also Logan Howlett. The two centenarians were sitting together to eat.

Seeing Rojo push open the curtain and walk in, Logan took out a chair and handed it over, "I thought you were going to stay in the pub all afternoon."

"That's what I originally planned."

Rojo took out a bottle of whiskey he brought from the tavern from his bag and put it in front of Logan, "But it suddenly occurred to me that you haven't drank for several days and you want to come back to spend time with me."

"You boy."

Logan smiled and opened the wine bottle. He was about to drink but was stopped.

Rojo took out two potions, handed one to the professor, and the other to Logan, "Inject the potion first and then drink."

"Ok."

Logan resisted the temptation of wine, first injected the potion, rubbed his body, and then immediately picked up the bottle and drank. Even if he injected the potion, it could not stop him from drinking. However, the potion had no side effects on him. Drinking alcohol has no effect.

"call"

After the injection, Charles took a deep breath. The morbid appearance he had three weeks ago was now gone, and he would no longer lose control at any time. However, the dose of medicine he injected at one time was too small and he has not yet recovered. Control over abilities.

After checking and confirming that the professor's body had no side effects, Rojo breathed a sigh of relief and said with joy, "Professor, maybe we can try to increase the dose next week. I think it won't take long for your ability to improve." If you can recover, even your lower body can stand up again.”

"I'm feeling it now."

Charles looked at his legs and stretched out his hands to scratch them. His face showed emotion, "It's sore and numb. It's never happened in the past few decades."

Logan took a sip of wine, patted the professor on the shoulder, and joked with a smile: "It seems that I can finally see the high-spirited young man who hung out in nightclubs."

"What were you talking about just now?"

Rojo took the wine bottle handed over by Uncle Wolf, took a sip, handed it back and asked, "What about Eugene?"

"Ah."

Logan nodded and was about to continue talking when he heard someone coming from outside, "Professor? Are you asleep? It's time to take medicine."

Professor Charles signaled Rojo to quickly put away the medicine, and then said: "Come in."

A member of the underground base walked in from outside. She was wearing white clothes and was the medical staff responsible for giving medicine to every wounded person in the base. Before entering the base, she studied in medical school.

Charles is familiar with the process of taking medicine. After all, he is prone to losing control. He has to take medicine to stabilize himself twice a day, once at noon and once in the evening. After taking the medicine, the medical staff will sit by the bed and wait for an hour to make sure there is no problem. , and record the report before leaving.

Before she left, Charles grabbed her and said, "I think after taking these medicines, I don't need to take them anymore. I have slowly become sober recently."

"Professor, your complexion seems to be much better, but your situation is a bit complicated. Whether you should continue to eat or not can be decided after examination."

After speaking, the medical staff took the report book and left, continuing to take care of the next patient.

"Professor, do you need this every day?"

Rojo waited for an hour and almost fell asleep, because during the waiting process, he had to keep quiet and couldn't even say anything. Uncle Wolf next to him had fallen asleep with his head on the table, and he woke up after a few pats.

Charles sighed and said, "Well, my abilities are out of control and I often receive special care. If I lose control once, you will understand the situation."

He calmed down and said, "Let's talk about Eugene first. In fact, his matter is also related to you. To be precise, it is related to yesterday's action."

"Eugene was injured. He returned to the tent and never came out. He didn't say a word. It obviously affected other people's emotions. Everyone was suspicious of SHIELD and the Avengers, thinking that their so-called plans or actions were just... Using underground bases is pushing everyone into the abyss."

Logan took the words, paused, and continued: "Originally, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took over the underground base, set various rules, and restricted activities, which made everyone dissatisfied. Now, people from the base are allowed to participate in the mission. This can easily make people unhappy. They think too much.”

"No wonder the atmosphere in the base was down today when I came here just now."

Rojo suddenly understood, but regarding what Logan said, he could also understand the current situation of the base. Everyone in the base obeyed and respected Eugene. After all, Eugene gave them a place to stay.

According to Eugene's character, even if the mission failed, he would usually hold an inspiring meeting after he came back to get everyone back on their feet, but this time it was different. He went directly back to the tent.

This abnormal behavior will undoubtedly make people in the base start to think wildly. The only thing they can think of is the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Avengers above who are causing this problem.

After Rojo pondered, he said: "What on earth is Eugene thinking? He seemed normal two days ago, and he personally agreed to the cooperative action."

"I don't know. Maybe the recent events have made him a little confused. The development of the situation is different from what he expected."

Logan shook his head and drank.

Rojo turned to look at the professor lying on the bed and asked: "Professor, I rarely eat at the base. John seemed to have said before that everyone who dines in the base needs to register?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

Charles wondered.

"It's okay, just ask."

Luo Honuo was thoughtful. After saying goodbye to Professor Uncle Wolf, he returned to the tent first. Unexpectedly, he happened to run into Lorna Dane who came to see him.

Behind her was the thin Clarice, who was still holding the old picture album.

Lorna Dane asked expectantly: "Rojo, do you want to go have a meal together? It's a new restaurant not far outside Hell's Kitchen."

"You ask me?"

Rojo smiled and said, "It seems I still owe you a meal."

"So you still remember."

Lorna narrowed her eyes slightly and curved the corners of her mouth with dissatisfaction, "Then this time you treat me, and I will make up for it in full."

"Clarice is going too?"

Rojo asked, seeing Clarice nod.

"Well, are you so happy?"

Lorna rubbed Clarice's face and said to Rojo: "She has been staying in the base for several months and is finally willing to go out."

"Then you have to keep an eye on her and don't lose her."

Rojo said with a smile. "I'm not that stupid."

Clarice pursed her lips, "I'll show you something after dinner."

"what?"

"Wait a minute and you'll find out."

At noon, the neighborhoods around Hell's Kitchen were not peaceful either, so there were very few people on the streets, and everyone avoided going out as much as possible at this time.

Rojo followed Lorna and Clarice to the newly opened restaurant. On the way, he suddenly asked: "Lorna, what is Sonia's ability?"

"I think I told you."

Lorna rolled her eyes at him, "Clarice also told me that you have a photographic memory and you haven't missed every detail of what you painted."

Sure enough, she was still thinking about giving a gift to Clarice. Rojo had no choice but to use lightning to weave a rabbit, jump in front of her and make funny movements, "Ms. Dane, I was rude before, this one Little Rabbit has already apologized for me, just tell me."

Lorna wanted to move her eyes away and ignore the rabbit, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She compromised, "Okay, put it away quickly. Don't let outsiders see it."

"Don't worry, SHIELD agents are still responsible for wiping the butt. They are following closely."

Rojo pointed to a few people behind him who were pretending to read newspapers. After being exposed, those people pretended to stop and touch their pants pockets. They all moved in the same way and were skillful.

"They should really go back and practice."

Lorna smiled from ear to ear when she saw the unified actions of the agents, and then said: "Sonia is a psychic system, which is a bit similar to telepathy. She can also invade other people's minds and tamper with memories like the professor, but it is different. What's more, she can't invade from a distance through consciousness like the professor. Instead, she can release a pink gas to make the enemy intoxicated in her gas, allowing her to spy on the enemy's secrets. If she is in good condition, You can modify your memory."

"Can that gas of hers be collected?"

Rojo was curious.

"I am not sure."

When Lorna heard this, she was stunned for a moment, "What are you thinking about? You are so perverted. You actually want to collect Sonia's gas, which was spit out from her mouth."

"Then I'm more interested."

Rojo's eyes lit up, and then Lorna slapped him in the face. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and dodged, but he didn't avoid the trash can lid that flew up behind him.

"It's really a heavy blow."

He covered his back and said, "I am thinking about a very serious and serious question. If Sonia's gas can be collected and used again after collection, think about what will happen?"

"Create a psychic smoke bomb? A psychic weapon?"

Lorna Dane also realized the point of the matter, put down the trash can lid, and carefully recalled the details of her previous interactions with Sonia.

She shook her head, "It's unlikely. Sonia's gas dissipated very quickly, and there was no time to collect it. Moreover, even if it was collected, the probability of saving it was not high."

"I'm just guessing."

Rojo thought about it and walked to the restaurant. The flow of people also increased, "Forget it, let's eat first."

"Ah."

On the table.

Rojo's mind was not idle either. He asked Lorna and Clarice to order the food the whole time. He kept thinking about Sonia.

It was Sonia's words in the tavern that made him notice this woman's abilities again. The main reason was that he already had telepathy and no longer needed other psychic abilities for the time being, so he ignored Sonia.

But he didn't know Sonia well. She was an unpopular character, possessing abilities similar to telepathy. In fact, she was a bit far behind. She couldn't even compare to one of the professor's fingers in the spiritual field. In addition, her There are too few scenes.

But she releases gas.
"Rojo, Rojo!"

After the meal, Clarice used a tissue to wipe off the oil stains on her red lips, and couldn't wait to hold Rojo's hand.

"what happened?"

Before Rojo could react, he was dragged towards a dark alley. Lorna did not stop him, but trotted after him.

He wondered: "What are you going to do? Isn't it a bad idea again?"

"What do you say?"

Lorna responded with a smile, and the smile on her beautiful face looked charming and evil.

"No, no, Lorna is scaring you."

Clarice waved her hand and looked around to see that no one was around. She let go of Rojo and took a few steps back.

She said: "I listened to you and took the professor's class seriously every day, and then, I discovered it yesterday."

As she spoke, Clarice opened her hands, wrinkled her face, gritted her teeth, raised one eye, and her peach blossom eyes were one big and one small.

Seeing this, Rojo realized what was about to happen and took a few steps away.

next second.

Buzz!

In the alley in front of you, a door was torn out. To be precise, it was a transmission channel. Like a black hole, endless energy matter rotated, forming an abyssal vortex. The surrounding objects were affected and sucked in uncontrollably. !
"Is this your ability?"

Rojo was amazed, stretched out his hand to try to touch the portal, and passed his hand through. It was obviously another place over there.

"Yeah, let's go in and take a look."

Clarice nodded, eagerly pushed Rojo, then pulled Lorna, and the three of them walked into the portal together.

Later, when they walked out, the alley outside turned into a warehouse above the base.

"You found the warehouse accurately."

Rojo was even more surprised. In fact, he didn't expect Clarice to master her abilities in a short time at first. Obviously he underestimated this girl's potential. She mastered it in two weeks!

"I learned to control my abilities, but now I can't pass too far at once, otherwise I will lose control."

Clarice closed the transmission channel and looked at her hands. Her pretty face was filled with confidence, "But I believe that it won't be long before the two of us can travel around the world together!"

Lorna next to her reached out and patted Rojo hard on the shoulder and said, "Clarice, you forget your friends because of sex, don't you want to take me with you?"

"She said, don't shoot me."

"Because you led her astray!"

"I never said that."

Rojo and Lorna were arguing, and suddenly felt something on his arm. He touched the skin under the sleeve, and new runes appeared on it - space distortion and teleportation.
