Chapter 372 71. Batman: You see, it turns out that my mistrust is precisely the means to protect you
"This kind of creature is called a Skrull, an alien life, good at camouflaging and lurking, a natural spy race and extremely good at sneaking, destroying and gathering intelligence.
It's almost their talent.
If there is really a **** who created life in the universe, then he was absolutely immersed in spy novels during the few days when he was a race of Skrulls.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain the fact that these guys' racial talents are all focused on the espionage field. "
In Mason's office, he used a holographic image to explain the current situation to the master, including various data and characteristics collected by Osborne Tower's first round of detection of the two Skrull spies.
In Mason’s complaint, he announced the further research results and life characteristics, pointed to a simple and easy-to-understand hexagonal diagram, and said to the master and Wick who "listened carefully":
"At present, no samples of high-level life forms of Skrulls have been captured. Only from the vanguard level, the vitality of these guys is close to that of weak superhumans.
The strength and agility are several times higher than that of ordinary people, and their long-term endurance can allow them to maintain sharp thinking after 24 hours of high-intensity torture.
Born with a certain degree of spiritual strengthening, it is very resistant to charm and seduction methods, and has a fairly high level of technology, and can manipulate almost all electronic devices at the current earth level.
But all the features are effective in conjunction with their camouflage ability.
They can transform into all the targets they have seen without touching them. After contacting, they will simulate all the abilities of the target at the same time. Although it is weakened at present, this simulation has almost no restrictions. "
Mason emphasizes:
"That is to say, if they get in touch with Super, they can turn themselves into a weakened version of Kryptonians.
An additional thing to note is that when the Skrull touches the target, it will read part of the target's memory. This range depends on the willpower, and the master doesn't need to worry about this.
But other people in Zhenglian can easily leak important information because of this.
The Skrulls also have the technology to manufacture deep memory equipment, so if someone is judged missing, you need to prepare for the secret leak in advance. "
"Um."
The master frowned under the mask.
Only from what Mason explained, it can be judged that the enemy is really tough this time. John Wick beside him is still expressionless, revealing the air of a cold assassin.
"There is so much information collected so far, I have compiled them all."
Mason took off the separation chip and handed it to Batman, then pointed to the computer on his desk, and said:
"This machine is connected to the Osborne Tower's database, and the newly discovered information over there will be passed on. If you have any discoveries, you can communicate with the researchers through him.
The next thing I want to say is the point.
I have produced an instrument that can identify Skrulls, and I have sent special personnel here to assist the two in finding the spies who have infiltrated this world.”
"No need."
The master waved his hand and walked to the computer on the desk to enter a line of code.
Immediately, the detection program of the bat network was activated. While connecting it to the global monitoring system of the watchtower, he said to Mason and Wick:
"In my previous preparation plan, there was a tactic specifically for this similar situation, which was one of the many preparations I made after Almadra lost control for the first time.
If only the Skrulls that are currently infiltrating the Justice League are found, then this tactic should work. "
"They've infiltrated, and there's more than one!"
John Wick, who had been silent all this time, took out a few photos from his pocket and put them on the table. The master looked down and found that they were two second-tier superheroes active in the metropolis.
He looked at Wick suspiciously, and the latter pointed to the photo and explained:
"On the day I joined the Justice League, I noticed that the aura of these two people was not right, so I focused on observing them, and the conclusion I got was in line with the news Mason brought back today.
I'm pretty sure these two are definitely Skrulls. "
"Oh? How did you find out?"
Mason was very interested in this. He picked up the photo and looked at Wick, who hesitated and said:
"Assassin's intuition!
Of course it’s not just intuition, I have no evidence to expose their disguise, but I can tell you that their disguise is too ‘perfect’ to appear false.
All their actions are centered on a special 'personality', and every move they make in front of outsiders strengthens this impression.
It's like the best actors in a live movie. "
John Wick paused, and said:
“However, no matter how good an actor is, he is still an actor. In my eyes, their temperament is still incompatible with ordinary people. Every time I come into contact with them, I feel awkward. This is what I want to report to Mason.
I think they have a problem. "
"Let's see."
The master nodded. After the connection procedure was completed, he took out the bat-shaped key from the multi-functional combat belt and inserted it into the computer, and then a hidden plug-in was activated.
In addition to the real-time monitoring of all members of the Justice League by the watchtower, special data signals are activated by the watchtower and sprinkled to all parts of the world. After a few seconds, the red, green and green punctuation points on the world map on the screen will appear.
"Each red dot represents the communication site of a member of the Justice League. Even if the communicator is not turned on, there will still be a positioning signal."
Master pointed to the screen and briefly explained:
"The corresponding green dots represent that the identification devices on them are in operation. The current number of red dots matches the number of Zhenglian people, but there are seven less green dots.
We are infiltrated.
The enemy sneaked into us silently.
Wick, your intuition is very accurate. The two members of Metropolis are indeed pretenders. I have reason to suspect that they are lurking in that city to get close to Superman or Lois Lane. "
"Very keen intuition, the Isu sage is so terrifying."
Mason shook his head regretfully and said:
“Unfortunately, this strategy cannot be generalized.”
"I'm curious, when did you implant the locator for me?"
Wick looked at the dots of light representing him on the screen, and he couldn't help asking:
"Based on my perception, it is impossible not to discover this process, and every time I contact you, I deliberately distance myself from you. I know that you have the habit of bugging other people."
Master did not answer this question.
This "bat secret technique" that belongs to him cannot be easily shown to others, but a fleeting mysterious smile appears under the mask.
But Mason is less particular.
He stretched out his hand and made a handprint, and whispered to Wick:
"You need to register your fingerprints to join Justice Unicom, do you think that the fingerprint device specially set up at Metropolitan headquarters has been tampered with by him?
But don't be mad.
He tagged me the first time I met him and I was just a puny 17-year-old high school dropout.
This is how Batman befriends other people.
How can he rest assured to talk to you further without a locator on you? "
The dismantled master frowned, and he looked back at Mason.
The latter secretly made a "3" gesture to him, which means that in addition to the locator placed by Batman on Wick, there are three additional devices that can be activated.
This response finally satisfied the master.
At the same time, he felt that he was a dreadful young man in his heart, and decided to give himself two full body checks after going back to the Batcave today. He suspected that Mason might have left him on his body. No, don't doubt it!
there must be!
"In addition to the two pretenders in the Metropolis, two of the remaining five are in London, one in Atlantis, and one in Kandak.
This is the most dangerous one. She has already disguised herself as a canary with black silk, and the target should be Oliver, the Green Arrow. I don’t know if he has noticed the clue. "
Master retrieved the information of the seven discovered pretenders. He nodded and stood in front of the computer, saying in a hoarse voice:
"The main members of the Justice League have been targeted. The good news is that there is no one around me. Maybe they think that an ordinary person is not worthy of being taken seriously?"
"Compared to the contempt of the enemy, I prefer that Selena is always by your side. Once the symbiote is parasitized, it can also see through the Skrull's disguise.
They may feel threatened. "
Mason looked at the head of the black canary on the screen, and said to Wick beside him:
"We should have been stronger when we beat this lady up last time. If we had hit harder then, maybe these guys' disguises would have been discovered long ago."
"But it's just a pretender inside the Justice League, it doesn't represent the external situation."
Wick reminds:
"Even if you don't count ordinary people in this world, there are many small groups outside Zhenglian, such as super villains and spellcasters. I have enough reasons to suspect that the infiltration in those groups is more serious."
"So, here's the next job."
Mason patted the ammunition box by his hand, took out a biological bait bomb from it, and said to the two people:
"Each one can be used three times. I brought one hundred and an additional two hundred energy plug-ins, which should be enough for your consumption in the next period of time."
"But I think we might be able to use a 'stalking' tactic."
Master did not go to get the biological bait bomb, he narrowed his eyes and said:
"The current situation is that these seven people don't know that they have been spotted by us. I guess that such a spy pioneer must have a set of contact networks inside, and they will collect information and exchange progress every once in a while.
Instead of relying on us to passively find them, it is better to wait for them to actively expose.
Tracking seven points at the same time can draw a spy network, and through continuous observation of this network, we can grasp their movements without stimulating them, and then catch them all at an appropriate time.
But to carry out this plan, I need an all-weather stealthy scout drone that can conceal acute perception."
"Snapped"
Mason snapped his fingers, and the three small drones that had been suspended in the room since the beginning of the meeting removed their optical camouflage and were exposed in front of the master and Wick.
He said:
"The prototype is the pterodactyl spy assassination drone of the military technology company, upgraded with Isu technology and added a little alien technology from Attilan City.
Intelligent AI control, multiple tracking and encryption recording modes, all-weather optical camouflage, solar power, bee colony module, and three anesthetic needles can be fired when necessary.
I made it myself, and its effect can bring down a Tyrannosaurus Rex in five seconds.
I guess you will choose long and short to catch big fish, so a special isotope marker will be sent over in a few days, made by Firestorm, and only the instrument I designed can detect its unique spectrum.
Look, craftsman Mason has prepared all support for the two of you, and now we are waiting for you to bring back good news. "
"I need to talk to Superman and The Flash."
Master did not stay long.
He took a small box of biological decoy bombs and five tracking drones from Mason, as well as the Justice League's equipment upgrade blueprint and Wonder Woman's second lasso of truth, and left.
After watching him leave, Mason looked at Wick beside him again. He obviously had other things to say for staying here.
The master assassin pointed to his cloak and said to Mason:
"This Johnny Silverhand is very noisy and will affect my lurking rhythm. Can you deal with him?"
"I guess he's babbling around you right now, talking bad about me?"
Mason smiled and waved to the air beside Wick and said:
"Hey, Silver Hand, why don't you idiot bother me? Is it because I'm not important enough that I haven't asked those guys behind you to send a special messenger?"
"He said that sooner or later he was going to cut a hole in your head and do some disgusting things in it, and he said that the gun in your waist is his."
Wick repeated Johnny Silverhand's words expressionlessly.
Indeed, as Mason said, this data consciousness that was transferred to the replica Isu Shroud cloak would give Mason the **** frantically, and try to prevent Wick from revealing the secret conversation between him and the Master Assassin.
Unfortunately, John Wick obviously believed in Mason more than he was an outdated rock singer and sociopath, so he told Mason exactly what Silver Hand had said to him during this period.
He said:
"He has been persuading me to join a strange organization, and claimed to me that they have the ability to save my world from the malice of the Star Society.
He and the people behind him are aware of the existence of K-Squad, and they are very dear to you.
This makes me a little uneasy, Mason. "
"I guess their leader is called Buttermos?"
Mason flicked a cigarette in his hand, he glanced at Wick, who nodded, after realizing that Mason also knew about this faction, Wick was visibly relieved.
For a Master Assassin, an enemy with knowledge is not scary, what he really fears is ignorance.
"Go ahead and talk to him."
Mason said to Wick:
"Don't care about their slander and evaluation of me, you can even introduce them to Sister Ka according to Yinshou's idea, but this will have to wait until Xiao Shan successfully opens the connection between the two worlds.
I believe that these data beings will send envoys to interview me when necessary.
Finally, Silver Hand"
Mason squinted his eyes and said to his invisible data life:
"Your gun and your girlfriend are great. Thanks to her for helping me last time, thank Ott for me. I look forward to meeting her. Also, if you want to use Barbara, give up now.
Since you know me, you should understand my style and attitude.
If Barbara gets hurt in any way, even if you didn't do it, I will blame you!
So be it. "
He nodded to Wick.
The Master Assassin no longer worries about the interaction with Johnny Silverhand when he has the bottom line. When he leaves Mason's office and walks into the exit elevator, a projection that is very similar to the attitude of Mason and Consus hits Wick next to him. Johnny Silverhand, wearing tank top jeans and toad glasses, appeared in the elevator.
He leaned aside and sneered at Wick:
"Are you thinking shit? I told you not to give my existence away! You choose to trust Mason Cooper? No! That guy is one of those company dogs.
He treats you as expendable tools.
You, and that gloomy Batman, and the world."
"That's better than you guys who hide your heads and show your tail."
Wicka put on his hood and said with a blank expression:
"I already know what happened in your world from Judy, and I know exactly what you 'data ghosts' want to do, but the Isu world already has a group of ancient ghosts from 70,000 years ago haunting our veins linger
We don't need to bring in more troublesome guys. "
"Whatever you idiot say, you know in your heart that I'm helping you."
Johnny Silverhand said sarcastically:
"If I hadn't reminded you early yesterday, your dog would have been shot dead by that lunatic."
When Silver Hand mentioned Gouzi, Wick's coldness obviously increased a level, and he walked out of the lively Afterlife bar with a permeable breath.
In the rainy day with the neon lights outside the door, he pulled his hood tight and said:
"He can try it, and you all can try it! But at your own risk."
