"Look... who's here." Gates' face appeared on the screen: "I'm still thinking... how could something like this happen to the Sky Eagle, but it turned out to be invaded."
"Sir! I..." No. 23 tried to explain the situation. Gates didn't give him this chance, because he already understood the situation in front of him with just one glance, "Mr. Mirror Face, I don't think you need any hostages. How about this, you let No. 23 leave, and I , let those young men who are trying to rush in and kill you calm down and give you some private space. Let’s talk alone.”
The wily Gates directly proposed a deal that was acceptable to both parties. Naturally, Mirror Face had no reason to refuse. He moved his neck to indicate that No. 23 could leave.
No. 23 walked quickly to the door and opened the electronic door. Before the door closed again, you could hear his footsteps running in the corridor.
"What do you want to talk about?" Jing Mian asked. When he saw Gates' face, he knew that it was impossible to successfully obtain information. Even if he pulled out the hard drive now, there would be nothing useful inside. The data.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mirror Face, first choice, I want to fulfill my promise." Gates turned his face to the side and said something through a walkie-talkie. He turned off the audio signal with Mirror Face and did not give the other party a chance. Read your own lips. About a minute later, he turned around again and said to the mirror: "Okay, now you should be able to see that the people in the monitoring room near you have stopped moving and are at a certain distance from where you are. distance."
Mirror Face did see this scene through the surveillance camera. But he also saw something else, "And the people who were in the rooms around me also started to evacuate."
Gates smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Mirror Face, that is our own floating carrier. We will never take the risk of dropping biological and chemical weapons on the ship or creating a regional explosion."
"Profit comes first, right?" Jing Mian answered.
"Haha... You are right, this is a very real problem. The cost of building a facility like Tianjiu is astronomical. The capital investment to train a whole ship of staff is less than one-fifth of the value of the ship itself. "
"Hmph... The first lesson I learned in life is to be extremely careful when dealing with people like you." Mirror Face sat in the position of No. 23 just now.
"Haha..." Gates smiled and shrugged: "It sounds like your life is a bit gloomy, Mr. Mirror Face. You know. Most of the people I know, their first lesson in life is... when a beautiful girl exposes herself to you. Smile, and you can quickly go up and say hi, and then ask her out."
"I'm not sitting here just to listen to an old man talking about life." Jing Mian said, "If you knew me well enough, you wouldn't..."
Gates interrupted: "I know you are at least a hundred years old, Mr. Mirror Face."
The expression behind the mirror mask changed, but he was wearing a mask and the other party couldn't tell.
"I... no, it should be said that 'we' understand you. Far more than you imagined." Gates said: "Of course, you are also aware of something, so you will appear there at this moment and try to steal the matrix. There’s information about you in it, isn’t it?”
"Are you saying that we were already prepared? It was a trap?" Jing Mian asked.
"No, no, no, we are not a reverse cross. No one can predict in advance when and where you will appear." Gates waved his hand and denied: "Maybe you will invade one of our bases. Maybe you will sneak into a certain The location of a branch of the army, or maybe directly attack the headquarters where the matrix is located... Haha, as for Tianjiu, to be honest, it is a bit unexpected. However, the intelligence analysis department does firmly believe that sooner or later, you will have actions similar to today. Therefore, we I was prepared in advance so that when an unauthorized operator searched for your information, I responded immediately."
The mirrored face snorted coldly: "So?" He returned to the previous question: "What do you want to talk about?"
"What I want to talk about is resource sharing, Mr. Mirror Face." Gates said: "Freedom Front is very willing to have a cooperative relationship with you again."
"Boring nonsense." Mirror Face said: "I will not give the eternal core fragment to anyone."
Gates did not make a direct comment on this, but instead said: "After the incident in Atlantic City, we re-examined your strength and investigated your background. The results surprised our senior management. You may be the most important person in the current world." Isn’t he the longest-living ability user in the world?”
"Hmph... I can't imagine the one who lived the longest." The mirrored face sneered.
Gates continued: "But why has your strength changed so amazingly within this year? The answer is undoubtedly related to the eternal core fragments that the Anti-Cross is collecting. If you can share the secret of the fragments with us , we will also be happy to share the huge resources of the Freedom Front with you. Imagine, Mr. Mirror Face, a huge intelligence network, strong financial resources, and technological capabilities at the forefront of the times, all of which can serve you for your revenge. I I don’t know what’s going on between you and Tianyi, but I think if the Freedom Front really goes to war with a small-scale organization like the Reverse Cross, the outcome will be obvious.”
"Yes, the outcome is very obvious." Jing Mian said: "It was a pleasure talking with you... Since all you know about me is that Wang is at this stage, and you still know nothing about Tianyi, then I'm relieved, you can keep the data for yourself." He stood up, seemingly about to withdraw.
Gates raised his voice and said: "I advise you to think carefully before replying to me. Mr. Mirror Face, you must know that it is much easier to forcibly seize the fragments from you than to obtain them from the reverse cross."
"You can give it a try." Mirror Face raised one hand, and the dagger inserted on the console came to his hand as if it had come to life. A black energy instantly covered the scarf, and he saw it with The sword was drawn out at an incredible speed, and numerous sword shadows flew out of its body at 360 degrees.
In the metal room, the four walls, the ceiling above the head, and the floor under the feet were all cut into pieces by sword rays, and all the consoles and screens were destroyed.
He kicked open the thick metal electronic door and came into the corridor. He snorted coldly: "It's just as I expected."
In the corridor to his right stood a figure, a man in a suit.
"It seems I'm not the only one who knows how to manipulate the surveillance footage..." Jing Mian said.
What Gates said on the walkie-talkie before was actually not just to evacuate the soldiers who were charging towards the monitoring room. The evacuation was just part of the plan. When no one moved in the monitoring screen, the screen was briefly changed. The looping mechanism is replaced. After that, no matter what happens, all the mirror can see is empty corridors and rooms, and because there is no one staying in it as a reference, the repetition of the video is difficult to detect.
"You can call me Leech Ghost." Leech Ghost said, "Or... backup plan."
"Hahaha... backup plan?" The mirrored face sneered: "I'm very curious about the backup plan, why do you only have one person, where is your partner? Is he invisible? Or is he shrinking again? He's getting into my pants at the moment. ?”
"I don't have a partner." Leech Ghost replied. I haven't had one since I joined this organization.
"Oh? This is very interesting." Jing Mian said: "As far as I know, the organizational structure of the Freedom Front is not free at all. It is precisely because of the rigorous structure and some iron laws that they can have strong strength. People with abilities should always work in pairs, supporting each other. Judging from the form of energy, you should be a master, definitely not an ordinary person or a transformed person, but you said... you don't have a partner?" He paused for a moment. : "Either this is a strategy, or it means you are a different person."
"You don't know that I'm normal." Leech Ghost replied: "When I joined the organization, you had already left."
"Oh? That's it." Mirror Face quickly understood the meaning of this sentence: "You are a high-level ability user who escaped from the Tidal Prison, right?"
Leech Ghost continued what he said: "However, I still know something about you... When you betrayed the Freedom Frontline, you were still a powerful ability user, but recently I heard that Lei Huo and Dixter joined forces, and neither of them belong to you. Opponent?"
"You still haven't answered my question."
"It's very simple." Leech Ghost said, "Because I don't need a partner."
"It's a really good reason, and it explains a lot of problems." Mirror Face said: "There can't be only one capable person on the Sky Eagle. You will appear in front of me alone. That is to say, the person in charge here thinks that sending You Dealing with me alone is the best plan."
"Hmph... It's the same reason why I don't have a partner." Leech Ghost was still very calm, and his tone didn't sound like he was bluffing: "To deal with you, I don't need help, one person is enough."
The mirror face didn't say anything. He turned into a black shadow and came behind Leech Ghost in an instant. The dagger in his hand was as fast as the wind and as powerful as thunder. The blade covered with black energy tore apart the body of Leech Ghost in five seconds. Gotta smash.
Even a master like Leech Ghost was extremely shocked by the speed of Mirror Face. If Lei Huo were here, he would probably have blood splattered on the spot at this moment.
"Much stronger than estimated in the database... Did Leihuo really escape from you..." The leech ghost was still intact from the shoulders up, and his torn body turned into a semi-solidified body, supporting his own body. The head and arms are connected to his legs below.
The mirrored face didn't show much surprise at the other party's change: "Oh, no wonder you dare to act alone, your ability is very good, a mutant with a special physique, right?" There was laughter from under the mask: "Your ability... I Just accept it here!" ..
