Chapter 220 The mastermind behind the scenes
Due to the pressure difference when going out of the sea and the lack of oxygen in the sea for a long time, Stark passed out. Before he fell into a coma, he seemed to mention a certain location. As Stark fell into a coma, the mecha was automatically driven by Friday.
After an unknown amount of time, the ringing sounded, and Stark woke up from his coma. "Friday, turn off the alarm. I'm awake."
Friday's voice sounded as gentle as ever, but to Stark, it was like a bolt from the blue. "Sir, that's not an alarm clock. It's a warning that your mech's battery is less than 5 percent."
Stark woke up instantly, watching in amazement as the things in front of him gradually enlarged. He realized the horrible fact that he was about to crash.
Fortunately, Friday was reliable. After the battery was low, it automatically lowered the flight difficulty and is now flying at a low altitude.
In order to protect the mecha, the power of the mecha was automatically shut down. Stark screamed, and the mecha began to fall.
Stark fell a long way in a mess. When he finally stopped, he took off his mask and saw a bloody mess on his face. "It's snowing. Where are we, Friday?"
Although the mecha offset most of the damage, the fall from high altitude still caused a lot of scratches and bruises. Sparks were coming out of the mecha, which seemed to reflect Stark's embarrassment.
"We are five kilometers northwest of Rose Hill, Tennessee." Friday's voice came.
Stark was a little confused, "What's going on, Friday? I remember I didn't give the order to fly here? This was not my idea. What are we doing here? This place is thousands of miles away from our home, why should we stay here? We have to find Pepper quickly..." Stark was emotional and a little incoherent.
Friday's voice came, "This is the flight plan you made yourself, and the destination is set here."
Stark was silent. It seemed that in his subconscious, although he cared about Pepper, he was more concerned about the explosion at Rose Hill. That was the starting point of everything and the key to revealing the true face of the Mandarin.
But he still said stubbornly: "Who said that? Oh, my God, this suit is too heavy. Friday, take off my mecha."
Due to low battery, Friday's voice said intermittently: "Sir, I seem to have a malfunction..."
Stark understood what Friday meant. The lack of power made it unable to execute complex instructions. So Stark said simply: "Turn on the mech."
The mech fell off, and Stark quickly stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He was dizzy from the fall, and now he was in great pain from the multiple bruises and abrasions. The oxygen supply in the mech was also insufficient, and he didn't know if it was blocked by impurities in the sea water or what. He just wanted to take off the mech and breathe a breath of fresh air.
After taking off the mecha, Stark felt relieved. He took a deep breath of the outside air and said with emotion: "I feel much more relaxed."
Then he stood up with a somersault. Since Lin Feng's persuasion, Stark has been focusing on physical exercise. He often practices Chinese Wing Chun. Now it is easy for him to do a somersault.
But then, a biting cold wind blew. The climate in Tennessee was completely different from the climate at home, and he was still wearing short sleeves. He had not yet evolved skin that could withstand the cold and heat like the Kree. When the cold wind blew, he joked to himself, "It's better to stay in the mecha."
At this time, Friday's voice came from the side, "Sir, I need to sleep."
Stark was a little incredulous when he heard this, "Friday?" but there was no answer.
Stark called again, "Friday?" Still no response.
There was a hint of fear and expectation in Stark's tone, "Man, you can't leave me. I've already lost Sisyphus, you can't leave me again." But there was no response at all.
Stark remained silent. He found a large enough piece of bark from somewhere, placed the mech on it, and dragged the mech through the icy and snowy ground. As he walked, he was still thinking about Pepper, who was thousands of miles away.
"Professor Lin Feng, we have lost contact with Stark." Natasha reported to Lin Feng through the intercom.
Lin Feng asked anxiously: "What about Friday? Can't it track Stark's location either?"
Natasha replied: "Professor Lin Feng, Friday is offline."
Lin Feng sighed and continued, "Ultron, access the global network and locate the individual network offline location when Friday was last offline. That is most likely where Stark is. Natasha, you are responsible for calming Pepper's emotions. At the same time, if possible, investigate Maya's situation in Beijing. She may be involved with the real Mandarin, but we need more solid evidence."
Natasha nodded in agreement, but still confused: "Professor, what do you mean by a real mandarin?"
At this time, Ross's voice came: "According to our big data analysis and information locking, we have found the Mandarin who gave the speech on TV, and he has been arrested and imprisoned by Colonel Rhodes. He is actually an actor, and the words on TV are just what he said. He is just a scapegoat, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else. But we can't be sure yet."
After the call ended, Natasha sighed. She knew that with the entry into force of the United Nations' "Draft Sokovia Convention", a supervisory team had appeared around Lin Feng, monitoring his actions all the time.
Lin Feng turned to look at Ross: "Mr. Ross, I want to go to the bathroom."
Ross nodded, and then said to the two people beside him: "You go with Professor Lin Feng."
Yesterday, Rogers' wanted order was issued. He, Sam Wilson, and Bucky the Winter Soldier were all wanted, mainly for resisting arrest. "Come on, Ms. Hashimoto Kanzuki, we should hear your opinion. You are the person who has had the most contact with Lin Feng during this period. What do you think of his handling of this incident?" Roger, the Kree who transformed into the President of the United States, asked Hashimoto Kanzuki with a smile.
Hashimoto Kanyue pondered for a moment and said, "Based on my contact with Lin Feng during this period, I can judge that he is not a person who will sit still and wait for death. Now that the three giants of the Avengers have been hit at the same time, maybe Lin Feng has already started to make plans in secret. But I don't know what means he can use to avoid our people."
Before the "Draft Sokovia Convention" came into effect, the list of team members supervising Lin Feng had already been agreed upon. China sent Chen Haishan, Zheng Xian's replacement, who is usually responsible for the communication and information connection between Lin Feng and the Chinese government. The Avengers sent a representative, Colonel Rhodes, who is also a member of the US military. He can contact the United States at any time and convey information to the Avengers like Chen Haishan when necessary. At the same time, the representative of the United Nations Security Council is Captain Ross, who is responsible for checking and balancing Rhodes and Chen Haishan and mobilizing United Nations troops. Although he has no right to interfere in the affairs of the Avengers, he is the person with the highest authority in the entire group because the final decision needs his approval. The remaining three people are environmental protection experts, property risk assessment experts, and Dr. Laika, the replacement for medical expert Dr. Mueller.
Among these three people, one was disguised as a Kree and was lurking beside Lin Feng.
Rogge thought for a moment and said, "It's mainly the gods of China. They are a simple, brutal, yet irresistible force. After all, Lin Feng is their spokesperson. Although they don't interfere in human affairs, it doesn't mean they don't pay attention to Lin Feng. Last time, when the Rainbow Fairy Bridge happened, they were willing to wait for Lin Feng, which already showed their attitude towards him."
Then he looked at Hashimoto Kanzuki: "What mission did the Japanese Prime Minister give you?"
Hashimoto Kanzuki smiled slightly. "That's right. Although Japan is currently dominated by China, its ties with the United States have not been completely severed. Japan's trade relations and markets are still closely connected with the European and American markets, dominated by the United States. The Prime Minister sent me here mainly to sign some tariff treaties, break down trade barriers, and gradually open up Japan's economic market in order to get rid of the trade system established with the United States."
Roger sneered: "This Koizumi Rokuro is indeed quite capable. He can adapt to the situation and at the same time make it difficult for others to find fault with him. Removing tariff barriers is indeed a good method, but I don't know whether the real US president will agree. But since it is the general trend, why not do it?"
Hashimoto Kanzuki asked tentatively: "So you agree?"
Rogge shook his head: "No, I won't agree. The President of the United States still has to take his face into consideration. But you can stay here for a while, in the name of negotiation, to help us analyze Lin Feng's specific intelligence. There will be someone in charge of the negotiation, so you can concentrate on analyzing the intelligence."
Hashimoto Kanzuki felt a little disappointed. After all, she was still a Japanese, and she hoped that her country could get rid of the control of the United States in all aspects. In the past, it was only politically separated from the United States, and now she wanted to further sever ties with the United States economically. However, this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and can only be done slowly.
Rogge clapped his hands and said, "By the way, go see the Supreme Wisdom. He will give you guidance."
Hashimoto Kanzuki stood up and followed Rogge, feeling uneasy.
"Everyone's interpretation of the Supreme Wisdom is unique. Some believe that it will transform into the appearance of the person you admire the most, while others firmly believe that it will show the face of the person you most want to meet. But no matter what, it is a reflection of the most primitive desire in your heart." While strolling, Rogge explained the secret of the Supreme Wisdom to Hashimoto Huanyue. "You are not a member of the team. You may have only heard of the Supreme Wisdom, but have never seen its true appearance with your own eyes."
Hashimoto Kanzuki nodded and said, "That's true." She had only heard Professor Lin Feng and others mention the crystallization of the Kree's wisdom - the Supreme Wisdom during the Avengers, but she still knew nothing about its true appearance.
"Carol saw an old professor, Wendy Lawson, while Ronan saw the Supreme Lord."
Gao Tianzun, the master of the cosmic arena, has unfathomable strength. It is said that he is actually the collector's elder brother.
This is the information Thor shared with the Avengers, and Hashimoto Kamatsuki kept it in mind. But she still couldn't understand why Ronan met Gao Tianzun? Wasn't Ronan related to Thanos? Why did he meet Gao Tianzun?
Ronan's ambition is well known to everyone in the Avengers. They once compiled a list of enemies who invaded the Earth, and Ronan was one of them. The most eye-catching label was his ambition. Perhaps it was this ambition that made him not so awed by Thanos.
Thinking of this, Hashimoto Kanzuki couldn't help but ask, "Mr. President, what does the Supreme Wisdom you saw look like?"
When Rogge heard this question, he was slightly stunned. He had never been asked such a question before, and he didn't know how to answer it. Recalling the shock he felt when he first met the Supreme Wisdom, he didn't answer directly, "I won't go in with you. You can only meet the Supreme Wisdom alone each time."
Hashimoto Kanzuki took a deep breath and stepped into the unknown door. After watching her go in, Rogge fell into deep thought. He recalled the scene when he first met the Supreme Wisdom, and the shock was still vivid in his mind. What he saw was actually his own face!
"You're here, Ms. Hashimoto Kanzuki. Right?" A low and magnetic voice sounded. Hashimoto Kanzuki was startled and turned to look.
She didn't understand the hidden meaning of the words of the Supreme Wisdom, but she was very familiar with this voice. These days, when she woke up in the middle of the night, this voice always echoed in her mind, making her feel both kind and humble. When you like someone to the core, you will feel humble as dust.
The person who appeared in front of her was Professor Lin Feng! Hashimoto Huanyue knew that this was just a projection of the Supreme Wisdom based on the feedback in her heart, but the shock in her heart was still indescribable because it was too lifelike.
"Child, you seem shocked." The voice of the Supreme Wisdom sounded in her ears, "Why, are you so surprised to see the truest projection of your heart? Look at yourself."
Hashimoto Kanzuki looked down at her outfit. As a diplomatic ambassador, she should have been wearing formal attire, but at this moment she was wearing a dignified and elegant red kimono, paired with wooden clogs and white cloth socks, which made her look gentle and beautiful, yet also elegant and graceful.
"This is the most realistic projection of what you see in your mind after seeing this person. You hope that you can appear in front of him in the most perfect posture. Am I right?" The voice of the Supreme Wisdom evaluated objectively without a trace of emotion.
Hashimoto Huanyue suppressed his shock and replied, "Yes, the Supreme Wisdom. I have been lurking beside Professor Lin Feng. His image suddenly appeared in front of me, making me think I have been exposed."
"You have indeed been exposed."
The voice of the Supreme Wisdom was cold and ruthless. "The reason why I call you Hashimoto Huanyue instead of Lai Mur is because you are indeed a Blue Star person. You don't have the controller I set in your body."
