57. Invitation and response【27/40】

"Dou,Dou"

There were a burst of busy sounds coming from Pierce's cell phone.

The old man was a little confused and a little disappointed. He put his phone on the table and walked to the empty window.

He looked at everything outside the window.

The chaos in Washington, D.C. was extinguished at the beginning.

Apart from the official workers on the street who were cleaning up the mess, it seems that the place has returned to quiet now.

But Pierce knew that, crossing the city, heading north.

In the city where Merlin is located, chaos continues.

The insight system did not achieve a satisfactory result in New York.

That city seemed to have a kind of magic that could make everything change unexpectedly.

"Prepare the helicopter!"

Pierce said to the Hydra commander who was waiting behind him with his hands behind his back:

"I'm going to New York."

"Chief, it's not a good idea to go there now."

The commander persuaded:

“That city hasn’t…”

"I said, I'm going there!"

Pierce turned his head and looked at his subordinate behind him, and he said:

"Which word do you understand?"

Looking at Pierce's cold expression and wanting to say something, his subordinate sensibly shut his mouth.

He turned and left, going to prepare the helicopter the leader needed.

These soldiers who had never betrayed Hydra in the most critical moment were idealists like Pierce.

Or, they were brainwashed too seriously by Hydra's extreme thinking, and they firmly believed that a perfect order would come.

Under the protection of the Insight Mothership hovering at altitude, the world will become more peaceful, without any ugly conflicts and tragedies caused by hatred.

They will become defenders of the world.

They will replace S.H.E.L.D. and will do better than S.H.E.L.D....

Yes, they believe this.

"If you have sent an invitation..."

Pierce picked up the cane that was set aside, and his fingers slid against the top of the cane.

In the orange light, a hint of stubbornness flashed across his old face, and he said:

"Then I will respond, Merlin."

"I will give you the future, you have to accept it! You have to complete it!"

"A world armed by order, a better and stronger world... no one will do better than you..."

"Click"

He pulled the drawer of Pierce's desk and the old man took out a well-maintained pistol from the drawer.

He looked at the cold weapon.

He has used it to knock down many enemies on the Vietnam battlefield, and this weapon has special significance to him.

"Then come on."

Pierce grabbed a bullet, placed them in the nest, and put the pistol in his pocket.

He walked out of the office with his cane, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"The last battle, ha..."

"It's a good time to leave the court... I didn't die in bed weakly after all."

More than 20 minutes later, Pierce's helicopter landed on the tarmac on the left wing of the Trident Building.

Under the maintenance of Hydra soldiers who were injected with T-enhancing agent, Pierce walked into the hall at the top of the building.

Many people were waiting for him there.

"Victoria, long time no see."

Pierce greeted a senior agent of SHIELD, which was Victoria Hand.

A very capable and commanding lady.

She is not a member of Hydra, but in the transformation of Golden Apple's thinking, she has become one of Pierce's most capable assistants.

Now she is responsible for cleaning up New York City.

The controlled fake Fury also stood in the crowd.

But he was just a meaningless counterfeit, and no one paid attention to him at all.

"Pearce, 10 minutes ago, we caught a special person outside the Trident Building."

Agent Victoria said to Pierce:

"He said he came to see you."

"Um?"

Pierce turned his head and looked at the tablet computer in Victoria's hand.

On the computer screen, the clown's damn face showed an exaggerated smile to Pierce.

The guy is now locked in an office in the building, waiting for Pierce's ruling.

"he?"

Pierce shook his head:

"Kill him!"

"OK."

Victoria did not refute and immediately issued an order.

But the next moment, the clown's scream came out of the tablet.

He said:

"Big man! Wait, before you give me a bullet to taste, you are not curious, why do I run back to the trap even though I know you want to kill me?"

"I'm not interested in knowing."

Pierce sat on a chair in the hall, and he said without looking back:

"I don't want to tell you more."

In the office where the clown was imprisoned, the soldier guarding him, wearing a combat helmet, had drawn his pistol and pressed it on the clown's colorful forehead covered with colorful paints.

As long as he pulls the trigger, this evil soul will completely disappear.

When his life is in crisis, the clown did not show a fear expression, he said:

"You need my help, big guy...you know that very well."

"Melin is coming soon. He wants to do things well. He has strong friends. You can't stop him by relying on these crooked melons and jujubes in your hands..."

"You know better than me what he will do."

"Your ideals have come to the last step. You have spent so much effort to arouse the fear of this world and demonstrate your strength. Under the guidance of fear, they will choose to hand over their own freedom in exchange for safety."

"But, everything about this 'great' came to an abrupt end..."

"Will you be willing?"

Pierce still did not respond. In front of the clown's eyes, the soldier's finger was already placed on the trigger.

"I can help you catch Merlin!"

The clown threw out his final killer weapon.

"You don't want him to die, you want him to be a member of you. I felt from the beginning that I can help you catch him! This is also the reason why I fell into the trap..."

"I made the city turn upside down with a few bombs and a few idiots, but it's not challenging and I haven't had enough fun yet!"

The clown grinned, his eyes widened in madness.

He shouted loudly:

"Let me play with Merlin who will never be defeated, and his friends! The last one!"

"After playing, I can die at any time..."

"Swish"

Pierce raised his finger, but he still didn't look back.

"You said it very well, and it even made me feel a little moved, but I have seen what you can do, Joker, Arthur..."

"I've been bitten once by your crazy venomous snake, and I won't make the same mistake again."

"A person like you... shouldn't have appeared in this world from the beginning."

"Kill him!"

"Bang"

The soldier pulled the trigger at this moment.

But no bullets were shot out from the barrel.

Instead, it was a small red flagpole that popped up, and a red cloth strip that said "bo".

"Ha ha ha ha"

The clown let out a crazy laugh, and he casually untied the handcuffs that were not closed.

The soldiers around him also took off their masks and revealed the expressionless face of the divine power man Luke Cage.

Judging from Cage's slightly dull eyes, he should have been controlled by the clown with the golden apple.

The clown moved his wrists and stood up, standing in his chair, ignoring the Hydra soldiers breaking in behind him.

As the Divine Power Man waved his heavy punch and knocked the soldiers down, the clown grabbed the camera in front of him.

Pointing the thing at his face, he smiled and said:

"As a matter of fact, you and Merlin are all the same. They are so difficult to deal with, and they are not as easy to cheat as others..."

"Okay, okay. I admit I lied, I didn't come to catch Merlin."

"But I didn't lie either."

The clown pointed to his face, he looked down at the weird inferior children's watch on his wrist, and he said:

"I do want to play games with them, I just need to borrow some of your tools..."

"Now, the time is almost over. Oh, by the way, acting with you is very interesting. You are a great disguise, old man, let's act together in a stage play next time!"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Hydra's game is over, the next play, I call it...the Joker's game!"

"Bang"

The surveillance screen on the tablet became dark at this moment.

Pierce's eyelids twitched, and he shouted to the agents beside him:

"Main control room! Go quickly!"

Things are out of control.

No, from the moment he signed a contract with the devil and released the clown, things began to get out of control.

——————————————

"Do you understand what I mean?"

In the underground control room at the bottom of the Trident Building, Harley Quinn, a clown girl holding a golden apple, was flirting with her waist.

She shouted to the busy staff who were manipulating the insight of the mothership in front of her:

"Let's start now!"

"Crash"

The power of the golden apple to interfere with thinking exploded from the golden ball in the clown girl's hand, like an open arc. Within the influence of this thing, ordinary people had almost no resistance.

There were two people next to the clown girl guarding her.

Cloak and dagger.

These two young men were also controlled like Luke Cage.

In fact, it's not just them.

Following the clown's instructions, Halle raided the headquarters of the New York Heroes Association with fear gas, and almost caught all the street heroes gathering there at that time.

She threw all the poisonous gas bombs carried by a helicopter into the association headquarters.

Under the influence of excessive fear gas, the heroes were in a mess.

This makes it easier for Golden Apple to interfere with thinking.

The evil duo chose some powerful heroes to follow them into the Trident Building, and the remaining heroes were dispersed everywhere to cause chaos to divert their sight.

Now, the Joker's adventure has been successful.

Under Halle's order, these agents who operated insight into the mothership were constantly rewriting the removal targets of the mothership in the sky.

A few minutes later, dense red dots appeared again on the projection of the main control room.

The number of targets locked and cleared increased at a creepy speed, and within a dozen seconds, it increased to 870,000 people.

But this time, it locks in no longer those crazy heroes and escaped criminals.

But... civilians.

The real innocent people...

"Hey, hey, can you hear it? Can you see it?"

At this moment, on all outdoor large screens throughout New York, including all TV screens in New York.

Including the live news or other programs, they were transferred to another picture under the unique information control status of SHIELD.

The clown's strange face and his sharp voice also spread throughout the chaotic city at this moment.

Even Merlin, who was making the final preparations, was attracted by the attention of this moment.

He looked back at the TV in the living room.

On the screen of that TV, the clown was pulling his bad hair, announcing the whole city some of the things he decided to do.

"Hello, friends in New York!"

A bad smile appeared on the clown's face, and he waved to the screen, saying:

"I am the new special guest of news from SHIELD. You can call me the clown..."

"Where is me, I'm here to tell everyone good news!"

"I know everyone is scared of the sudden chaos in the city."

"Yes, those bad guys were trying to stir up the wind and rain while the terrible Director Merlin was out, making everyone unable to go to work and work."

"But you also see that our SHIELD has deployed a powerful force, and the light shot from the sky can protect you!"

"Our trial was successful, so we decided to do the next trial."

"Come and do a 'slimming' for the congested New York... Let's take a look at this!"

With a wave of the clown's finger, he saw the projection of the mothership's locked target and the fast-paced locking number appeared in front of everyone.

He explained:

"You may not understand it, but it's okay, let Mr. Clown explain it to you."

"Those red dots, each represent a locked target, and the number that jumps above represents the number of people that will be killed by this shot, well, now it's 885,471."

"Try more, brothers, get 900,000!"

The clown let out a series of pleasant laughter and said to the screen:

"Where are we, we have selected 900,000 people from New York City to kill them in the street!"

"Don't worry, everyone, this is completely random, absolutely fair and just. Being killed can only mean that you are not lucky..."

"So, who would be so lucky to be selected?"

"Haha, the answer is that I don't know either!"

The clown's laughter echoed throughout the streets and alleys of New York, and he looked very happy.

But what he said was really hard to laugh at at this moment.

Many people raised their heads in a daze and looked at the sky. Above the clouds they could not see, the fire devices that had insight into the mothership had begun to move quickly.

"Well, it sounds a bit unfair to decide life and death by luck alone."

The clown touched his chin and he said:

"Let me do this, I'll give you a choice... Have you seen that time of beating?"

In the upper left corner of the projection, a countdown of 120 minutes begins to jump quickly.

The clown's voice was filled with a strange pleasure, he said:

"If everyone can kill 50 street heroes or kill 500 mutants within 2 hours, then I will cancel this volley!"

"Where is me, I always do what I say!"

The clown snapped his fingers, and two more maps were posted on those screens and outside the projection.

There are beating spots of light on the map of New York, representing the location of superheroes and mutants in New York City.

"Go, go kill, go make trouble! Make this city a mess!"

The clown screamed, because he was too excited, his voice became sharp:

"If you don't want to die, pick up your weapons... fight for yourself and your family, men!"

"Oh, by the way, don't try to escape..."

"This mothership can cover the entire East Coast. I also loaded a bomb on a plane at the airport. Hehe, I won't tell you which one it is."

"You can't run out!"

The clown said:

"Either kill someone or die! You'll be stained with blood on your hands or just wait for someone to kill!"

"Okay, dear friends in New York, today's news is here..."

"I wish you all your life happiness, I am a clown, we next time...well, okay, maybe not next time."

"Then let's get off forever! Everyone."

The clown appeared on the screen. He pointed to the watch on his wrist, and said maliciously:

"Mr. Merlin, if you are watching, you have 120 minutes to turn the tide and try to save your city. Don't forget to bring the bats together! I want him to die!"

"Hero..."
Chapter completed!
