American comics: From the old Uncle Wolf, he becomes omniscient and omnipotent

Chapter 110 0107: Magnetic Field Control (page 12)

A cloudless sky would definitely be considered a good weather in most countries, but in Baroque City, the blue sky and the strong light of the sun shrouded the earth without reservation.

From a distance, the city seems to be enveloped in a hazy layer of dust and mist, and the hot breath blows against our faces. The ponds in the city are piled with garbage and exude a strange stench.

"It's already autumn in New York in October, and it's still 30 degrees in this damn place. How can the locals stand it?"

In front of the quaint building, Marcos covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the sky.

"Isn't this your favorite weather?"

Rojo took a sip of water and sat on the bench. The shadow of the building behind him just fell on him.

"Just because I absorb light doesn't mean I can stand this kind of weather. It's too hot today, and it's still muggy."

Marcus sat back on his chair and looked towards a street on the right, "Lorna went to buy an ice drink, why didn't she come back for so long."

"Don't talk about Lorna yet."

Logan Howlett, who was sitting on the far left side of the bench, took off his suit, wiped off his sweat, and said, "If the receptionist from SHIELD doesn't come, the sun will dry us out."

"It should be soon."

Rojo glanced at his watch and frowned.

After agreeing to assist SHIELD in its investigation yesterday, he set off with Logan, Lorna, and Marcus, and the four of them took a Quinjet to Baroque City.

Due to the confidentiality of the mission, SHIELD just sent them outside the city and notified the person in charge in the city to receive them.

But when we arrived at the place, there were a lot of people on the street, stalls were lined up on the roadside, merchants were shouting, and the voices of customers arguing over price could be heard, but there was no person in charge. For them, who had stayed in the cool autumn weather just a few hours ago, this kind of weather was a test.

Fortunately, the ice water Lorna brought back from the cold drink shop made them feel much better.

Finally, a few minutes later, a black SUV stopped on the road in front of the three people.

"It's them?"

Lorna wondered.

Rojo looked at the familiar models and said, "Probably, they like SUVs."

A few minutes later.

Rojo and others took a black SUV, led by the driver, to the third floor of a library in the center of Baroque City.

The third floor of the library is not open to the public. It contains bookshelves, multiple tables, and multiple computer equipment and screens.

There was also a man in a black suit with a big beard. When he saw Rojo and the others, he immediately came forward to say hello: "I'm sorry, something special happened and I was delayed in picking you up."

“It has air conditioning.”

Rojo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you have air conditioning here."

Marcus felt the cold wind blowing above his head, felt relieved and said with a smile.

Next to him, Logan motioned for him to shut up and said, "You guys had better really have something to do. Agent Hill asked us to come here to do business."

"It just so happens that this matter is related to the case you want to investigate."

The man smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Forgot to introduce myself, my name is Samuda Morahan, and I am the agent in charge of this case."

"Logan Howlett."

Logan also responded politely and introduced the three people behind him, "Rojo, Lorna, and Marcos."

"According to the procedure, I should treat you to a meal first, but the current situation is worse than we imagined, so there is no time to eat. Please come with me here."

Samuda motioned to a few people, came to the big screen, took a picture of the agent sitting on the chair, and a video was played.

He said: "Just now, we received news that late last night, a patrol officer encountered a person with super powers on the street and he stole an antique. This is the body camera video of that time."

As the video played, the man at the end of the alley was wearing a gray robe, making it difficult to see his face. He just waved his hands, handed over the patrolman's gun, threw it to the ground, and then levitated over the high wall to escape.

Samuda said seriously: "He is one of the gang members who robbed military supplies before."

"This guy's abilities look a bit familiar."

Seeing this slightly familiar gesture, Logan fell into memories.

Rojo on the side looked directly at Lorna and said, "This is a bit like Lorna's magnetic field manipulation."

"I?"

Lorna looked at the video screen.

"It's a bit like that."

Marcus also saw it.

"No wonder it always looks so familiar. It seems that this guy's abilities are most likely similar to Lorna's. If so, it would actually be much easier to handle."

Logan looked at Saddam and asked: "Don't SHIELD have a database that records most of the mutants? Let's check and see if there is anyone with similar abilities in this area."

"I understand what you mean, but it's a pity that it's not in the files. Whether it's magnetism or magnetic field manipulation, these abilities are very rare, and there are very few recorded in the world."

Samuda shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "Among the superpowers and mutants recorded so far, only Lorna Dane is still alive."

"As of now? It sounds like your powerful intelligence agency is not of much use. I think there must be many that have not been recorded."

Luo Genjian was a little disappointed that he couldn't start from the archives. This would mean starting the investigation from scratch, and they would have to spend a lot of time again.

"Stop saying that. Saddam is right. Mutant abilities like Lorna's are indeed rare."

In Rojo's impression, not many people have such ability, unless there is a research institution that can clone Magneto's genes in an assembly line.

But it is obviously almost impossible. You must know that Dr. Rice spent his whole life to clone a perfect Laura Kinney.

Rojo thought about it and asked Samuda: "How many clues and information are there about this group of people now?"

"It's zero for now."

After Samuda finished speaking, he felt that it had damaged SHIELD's prestige, and quickly added, "We have only taken over for a week. This group of people is secretive and cautious. Since taking over, last night was the first time they were exposed to us. Within sight.”

"It looks like we've inherited a mess that's unlikely to be finished."

Marcus muttered.

"However, now we have a plan to lure them out, and I need your help."

Samuda slowed down and asked his men to pull up a file and said: "At 6:30 this evening, a new batch of military supplies will pass outside the city. There is a high probability that the group will intercept them. We can carry out an encirclement and suppression at that time."

"Now it seems that there is no better plan. You don't even have a clue about them."

Rojo and others agreed to Samuda's plan.

According to the plan, he, Logan, Lorna, and Marcos were arranged in advance into a convoy escorting military supplies. This matter was kept secret and was not told to anyone except the convoy members.

No one even knows that Rojo and the others, as well as SHIELD, are staying in Baroque City. The specific reason is Nick Fury. He ordered that no matter what the mission is, strict confidentiality must be carried out. It seems that Nick Fury is very concerned about SHIELD. He was extremely disappointed with the internal environment of the bureau and vowed to catch the insider.
