After more than a month, Zhang Dianyu finally returned to the prison again.
Next to him is Mr. Summers, who has put on his goggles again, and he is still wearing the black and yellow X-Men uniform, which makes everyone who passes by them shy away.
Zhang Dianyu was silent for a while, feeling that the passers-by's eyes were not lacking in malice.
The existence of mutants has always been resisted by ordinary people, but now the superhuman registration act has deepened the conflict between people and superhumans. Zhang Dianyu almost suspected that someone might suddenly run away when they were walking on the road. Come here and take out the knife.
But it didn't happen.
After all, there are quite a few people who know Cyclops. Teacher Summers walked beside him silently, his own low air pressure radiating outwards, and his face was full of not to be messed with.
I have to say that the X-Men have done a pretty good job in this regard, at least they have enough aura.
This town is not far from Untitled, but compared with it, it is a little different—it is a "living" town.
Except for the funeral parlor, ordinary people live here.
Zhang Dianyu once checked the information of the funeral parlor. After all, the employees there are all pixel villains. It is precisely because of this that so many corpses of prisoners were stored here, but no one tried to steal or study the strangeness of the corpses.
As long as they can receive the corpse according to the procedure, set up a mourning hall, and then send the corpse to the cemetery for burial.
Some people may have noticed that the staff here are not very human, but since this is a funeral home, this incident can at best become a widespread urban legend.
Nobody wants to come near here.
Zhang Dianyu and Mr. Summers sat side by side on the row of chairs closest to the coffin - once Zhang Dianyu almost sat in the same position to attend Sexton's funeral.
There are two coffins in front of him. Mr. Fergus and Miss Rita will be sent to the cemetery in the prison by the staff of the funeral home later, and they will go home after rounding up.
Although Mr. Summers' expression could not be seen, Zhang Dianyu felt that the other party seemed a little nervous from the tense shoulders around him.
Of course, not nervous about seeing dead people—or about someone being buried.
There's something weird about it here, and it's hard to keep Cyclops from getting nervous. For some reason, he always had the illusion that a storm was coming.
Maybe it's because the staff here are deadpan and stiff. But having said that, since he came to the correctional center here, and has been to the opposite prison a few times—isn't this the look of the guards and employees in the prison
Cyclops' spine is tense, ready to go at any time.
In addition to the funeral home employees, there were also the neighbors of the deceased who were in attendance—everyone with eyes staring, walking slowly in the mourning hall as if sleepwalking.
It has to be said that they looked more like the protagonists of the funeral than the people lying in the coffin.
Zhang Dianyu felt the tension of Cyclops, but there was nothing he could do.
He was a little skeptical, even though he accepted the kindness from the X-Men, the two parties agreed that he could go to Untitled Town and visit the living environment of the students there during the mayoral election tomorrow. The prisoner dormitory-like school building is obviously no match - but when Cyclops sees the situation there, will the ill-fated pixel villain school in Untitled Town still miss its teacher from the X Academy.
Zhang Dianyu tried to say something to relieve Cyclops' nervousness.
He looked around and felt something was wrong.
"Mr. Summers, there seems to be something wrong with the funeral guests...?" He saw more than one person standing silently in front of the corpse with a mournful expression, as if mourning the lost soul.
But this is very problematic, right? Could Mr. Fergus or Miss Rita have any human friends? Why didn't Zhang Dianyu know
Cyclops glanced at Mr. Warden next to him, and secretly grabbed the other's arm: "Don't worry, those people may seem to be poisoned—or some kind of control ability."
Zhang Dianyu: "?"
He thought for a while, Mr. Summers might be referring to those normal pixel villains.
But he didn't know how to remind the other party, so he could only say: "Mr. Summers, I need to go to the bathroom and I will be back before the funeral begins."
Cyclops asked him seriously, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"..." Zhang Dianyu: "It doesn't matter, this is unnecessary."
Despite the other party's good intentions, it's weird for two grown men to go to the bathroom together. Mr. Summers has been in the campus for a long time, is he a bit distracted by the adolescent girls
Of course, Zhang Dianyu actually wanted to contact Stark or Strange and let them see if there was any problem nearby.
However, before he went out in the morning, he checked the locations of the high-risk prisoners on the map—the newly arrived prisoners with blue prison uniforms and superpowers had just been given mops by the prison guards, and then they were taken to the opposite side to plant trees amidst the question marks covering the screen. .
As long as you don't step over the fence, you won't see the situation of the secret mutant juvenile offender rehabilitation center inside.
Moreover, the guard towers at the four corners are in normal operation, and the snipers are also on the alert.
The trio of super-criminals are also honestly weeding the yard, doing the laundry, and checking for bedwetting.
Except for one small problem—many mentally ill criminals who refused to take their medication filled the padded brigades of the psychiatric ward early in the morning, so much so that some of them couldn't fit and ended up in regular brigs.
Among them is the clown.
Zhang Dianyu has reason to suspect that the refusal to take the medicine must be related to the pollution source of the clown, but he has no evidence—and he has no time to deal with this matter. He can only ask the guards to add a few temporary posts in front of the closed area to monitor the people inside at all times. trend.
After repeatedly checking the situation in the prison, he left the prison with Mr. Summers.
However, when those men in black appeared in the mourning hall, he felt that something was wrong, so he decided to contact Strange and ask him to cancel today's psychological treatment, and go to the confinement area and the reformation center opposite to monitor the situation. There is a problem Feel free to contact yourself and Stark.
After all, Stark can't keep up with people in New York now, but the armor he left nearby can allow him to return to prison in a few minutes.
This is also the method adopted during the prison break incident during this period, which effectively reduced the number of times Zhang Dianyu was stabbed in the kidney every night.
During this period, Zhang Dianyu still felt a little nervous.
If those men in black were malicious, he might be in danger at any time. In order to avoid this situation, Zhang Dianyu opened the game panel, ready to counterattack at any time.
At this moment, he very much wished that the vest he had died before could activate the passive skill of monitoring for him.
Unfortunately not.
But during his short walk to the bathroom, there was no danger, no one suddenly appeared from around the corner to hurt anyone, and no one suddenly covered his mouth and nose from behind.
When Zhang Dianyu locked himself in the toilet cubicle, he was slightly relieved.
After all, this place can be regarded as his territory.
Zhang Dianyu: "..."
I have to say, although this is true, it sounds a little weird.
He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed Strange's number—because Stark said that this morning is the time for Agent Girick to come to Stark Tower to harass the Avengers, and it is best not to contact him if it is not necessary.
Otherwise, he will face the attack of Agent Jirick and the AI butler monotonously repeating the tirade he wrote to prevent himself from insulting Agent Jirick.
After all, nothing happened yet, so Zhang Dianyu decided to contact Strange first.
But there was a moment of silence on the phone, and then the poor signal page popped up.
To be honest, this is also normal.
After all, it is very close to the prison, and it is considered remote, with incomplete facilities, and the signal will be lost from time to time—besides, Stark also said, especially near the prison, because there is another world superimposed there.
But that's not accurate, after all, Stark hadn't dealt with the problem of connecting the two worlds at that time. Until now, if he was asked to give an explanation, then the prison is almost a natural entrance between the two dimensional worlds, and it is also the only natural junction in the entire world.
When the world is in a projected state and connected to the entrance of the two-dimensional world, then naturally there is no way to receive electromagnetic waves from high dimensions.
The analogy to what happens in reality is -- there's no signal here.
But the funeral home is already some distance away from the prison, presumably this should not be a problem caused by the superposition of dimensions.
Zhang Dianyu held his phone and thought for a while, thinking that something might be wrong.
He listened intently for a while, but there was no special sound coming from the direction of the mourning hall—Mr. Summers also has a lot of combat experience, so he shouldn't be subdued by one move.
If the other party—no matter who—could bring Cyclops down without a sound, wouldn't Zhang Dianyu be free if he went
After smoothing out this logic, Zhang Dianyu opened the small window outside the bathroom without any psychological pressure, and turned outside the funeral home.
He didn't intend to leave Mr. Summers behind, he just wanted to go out and contact Strange and Banner, and ask the latter to contact Professor X again.
I believe they are more proficient in this situation and subsequent handling.
And in the mourning hall of the funeral parlor, Cyclops, whose back was getting tighter and tighter, suddenly raised his head, and the red rays shot out from the goggles, and hit all of them on a block of cement that suddenly turned up from the ground.
His face was livid, and the piece of concrete that was uncovered on the opposite side was still interspersed with twisted and broken steel bars. At this time, it was also scorched black, and a plume of smoke came out.
His right hand was resting next to the goggles, ready to adjust the shock wave of sight at any time. The man in black stood in front of the coffin and confronted him. He was tall and familiar.
"It's you," Cyclops said in a low voice.
The man in black slowly took off his hood, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly at him: "Long time no see, Scott."
"Magneto, the person I saw that day was indeed you." Following this deep and angry words, a shock wave containing powerful energy shot out from the red quartz goggles again, "How do you treat Mr. Warden?" How is it?"
Hearing this sentence, Magneto's face immediately sank.
It's okay not to mention the fact that he checked the bed-wetting of mutant children, but can he not be angry if it is mentioned? What's more, Mr. Warden realized something was wrong within a few minutes of sitting in the mourning hall, left Cyclops here calmly, and ran away alone.
This posture of selling teammates is more skilled than his Magneto.
Who is the villain
Magneto immediately changed the plan temporarily, issued a secret signal and immediately started to deal with the Cyclops in the mourning hall.
Stark was held back by the false news they sent undercover to Agent Jirik, and unexpectedly killed another Cyclops temporarily—fortunately, they were old friends, and they had fought countless times. No problem finding the warden.
Zhang Dianyu obviously understood this truth.
The moment he just turned out of the toilet and landed on the ground, the loud noise from behind made him immediately understand that something was wrong.
He quickly dialed Strange's number, and before he had time to elaborate, he put it back in his pocket and turned back to the toilet.
Just kidding, although I don't know who the other party is, but running is definitely a bad idea, and he is more comfortable in the toilet—although there seems to be something wrong with this description.
So the Red Skull, who received the signal and came to surround Zhang Dianyu, watched helplessly as Mr. Warden just turned out of the funeral parlor, and then turned back quickly.
Red Skull: "...?"
Things were a little beyond his comprehension.
In theory, according to Magneto's information, the warden should leave Cyclops and run away alone. Why did he suddenly turn back
The Red Skull, hiding in the shadows and preparing to appear, felt hesitant.
After a while, the Hydra next to him asked cautiously, "Sir?"
Red Skull: "...Take that room off the map and closely monitor the exits."
When the news came from his subordinates which side the warden had run away from, he would block the other party's way and unleash the flames of revenge in the most enjoyable way.
This wait is ten minutes.
He has already learned from his subordinates that Mr. Warden is hiding in the bathroom. Could it be that he really thinks he can hide there until the end
Red Skull made a gesture for Hydra's tactical squad to storm the bathroom.
Since the warden couldn't come out, he could only be dragged out and thrown at his feet.
There was a sudden sound of gunfire, and the dense bullets hit the wall with a cracking sound. The wall was pierced, and the shell casings fell on the empty ground in the corridor with crackling noises.
In the next second, the Red Skull figured out why the gunfire sounded like it had encountered multiple layers of walls.
Just like the time he was in the underground of Hydra's secret base, the rocket launcher of the Hydra tactical team was really stopped by the wall that appeared out of thin air.
The concrete bricks that once surrounded him, and the walls that appeared out of thin air today, are indeed the warden's... superpowers
The Red Skull snatched the bazooka from the subordinate next to it, and fired it in the direction of the toilet.
After the smoke cleared, there was a ruined wall in front of him, and a figure in a brown-gray suit could be vaguely seen behind him, looking at him expressionlessly from among the falling cement blocks, frowning slightly .
Zhang Dianyu's heart ached.
To him, who just spent 20 million US dollars, the Red Skull's bombing seemed like a crazy move to tear up money.
Of course, an old villain like the Red Skull must not be short of these rockets, but Zhang Dianyu used his skills continuously to build dozens of concrete walls to block the artillery fire. The money is almost as high as building a three-story building above the cafeteria.
"How did you escape from prison?"
After the smoke cleared, Red Skull heard the people inside ask him in a calm voice.
The black-haired young man was unscathed, frowning slightly and flicking off the dust on the dark red tie, with a sarcastic look on his face.
Of course Red Skull would not answer him.
Instead, he raised an arm without looking back, and the Hydra behind him immediately launched a round of more violent bombardment.
If Zhang Dianyu heard correctly, there was also the sound of a helicopter outside—and the sound of steel falling heavily on the ground.
Obviously, the helicopter will not be a prison, and that broken helicopter cannot participate in such a fierce battle, so it should be Hydra's backup.
He also vaguely saw Strange's golden-yellow magical halo lit up outside—and the golden-red object falling downwards.
Zhang Dianyu couldn't help feeling tense, but immediately realized something was wrong.
Stark is now in New York - since the Red Skull is out, it's likely that Magneto is fighting the armor that came to the rescue.
Zhang Dianyu's heart sank slightly.
Magneto is here, and for some reason, he hopes that Stark will not come in time—although under his personal control, he will certainly not be stopped and torn apart by Magneto like these ordinary armors, but I am afraid he will also A tough fight.
Or—Zhang Dianyu had to admit in his heart, maybe Magneto's ability could just restrain Stark's armor, maybe he would encounter danger here.
Red Skull saw that the black-haired young man not only didn't care about the confrontation between the two, but even waved his hand to build the protective wall while looking at the sky in a daze, and felt even more angry.
"Mr. Warden, are you in there?"
Zhang Dianyu suddenly heard Strange's voice—or it should be the Supreme Mage.
He raised his voice and agreed, his eyes met the Supreme Mage floating in the air, hesitating for a moment and said: "Long time no see, Your Excellency the Supreme Mage."
Strange: "..." The warden still remembers pretending to be unfamiliar at this time, so there is nothing to worry about.
Magneto in front of him was obviously more difficult to deal with, he quickly nodded to Mr. Warden, motioning for the other party to hold on first.
At least according to his knowledge of the warden, those strange abilities should not be a problem for a while under the fire of Hydra soldiers.
Of course, it is impossible for him to know how heartbroken Zhang Dianyu is now.
Zhang Dianyu couldn't help sighing as he watched Hydra's bullets pouring out like money.
Little did he know how ironic this sigh seemed to the Red Skull.
From his point of view, Mr. Warden lightly defuses Hydra's artillery attack, hides himself behind the protective wall created by his ability, and even sighs mockingly at them.
Red Skull raised a hand to stop the Hydra around him from attacking.
"Mr. Warden, you want to know, is there anyone else who escaped from prison besides us?"
Zhang Dianyu replied without thinking: "Hannibal Lecter?"
Red Skull snorted.
Obviously, the three of them plotted something in the reform center—although Zhang Dianyu didn't know it yet.
But Red Skull narrowed his eyes again, and said softly: "There is also a clown, my Mr. Warden."
Zhang Dianyu knew something was wrong with the clown today.
But how the hell are these people able to cooperate
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this description was not accurate—or in other words, it was more or less a temporary collusion for a temporary benefit.
But no matter what, Red Skull's words really caught his attention this time.
The Red Skull watched the young man turn his gloomy gaze to himself, his brows deepened, and he finally said in a low and hoarse voice with joy: "Mr. Warden, the clown has prepared a big gift for you."
Zhang Dianyu wasn't surprised, the clown was indeed too calm during this time, he didn't even try to kill someone when he was forced to take the medicine by the nurses.
He already knew it wasn't normal.
But this is a prison, and when the behavior of the mentally ill prisoner did not seriously violate the regulations, he obviously couldn't put the clown in the solitary room without water and food like before.
Unless he doesn't want to raise the prison rating.
