Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 706 10. Restless Ambition

"Um...Mike."

In the dim and blurred light of the bedroom, Miss Ash, whose face was still flushed, leaned against the head of the bed, lit a lady's cigarette, and said in a hoarse voice:

"You have regressed a lot."

Agent McCree rested his head on the pillow. He shrugged and said:

"Call it what you want, but the second time I won."

"I guess your life at S.H.I.E.L.D. must be boring."

Ash laughed and said:

"You must not have touched another woman for a long time. Are you keeping your virginity for me? This really touches me."

"I have a wonderful life, Ash."

The agent reached out and snatched the cigarette in Ash's hand, and pressed it out in the ashtray. He reached out and hugged the lady into his arms. The two enjoyed the tender time quietly. He said softly:

"It's as wonderful as you can imagine, girl, and I thought I wouldn't be interested in fighting anymore. But then I found out that the world is really wonderful, and we can still do some good things. Even with guns and bullets."

"Then it seems that you are very satisfied with your life now, what a pity."

Ash rested her head on McCree's chest, listening to the man's deep and powerful heartbeat, she said:

"You let them transform you and turn you into a monster... When we were skin to skin, you didn't dare to take off the contact lenses in your eyes, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I hate you ?”

"I just didn't want to scare you, girl."

McCree stretched out his hand and took off the contact lens that was used to hide the abnormal pupil. In the dim light, his yellow snake pupil, which is the signature of a demon hunter, was indeed very permeable.

"Is this also the price you paid for my freedom?"

Ash stretched out her hand and gently stroked the corner of McCree's eyes, she said:

"You bastard, you put me in shackles when I was supposed to be free... You know, we broke up at the beginning, but now, you made me owe a debt of conscience... You made me never You can't fall in love with anyone else."

"So, I earned it?"

McCree let out a hearty laugh, he held the girl in his arms tighter, and said:

"Maybe we shouldn't have broken up in the first place...Maybe we should have just walked away and ignored the damn thing with Talon, and if we'd done that, we'd probably both have kids by now, um, 2 kids."

"Don't even think about it!"

Ash snorted, and she said:

"I haven't had enough fun yet. Don't expect me to give birth to you. Find another woman to have a baby."

She turned over, spread her hands, and put them on the bed. She looked at the artistic murals in the bedroom above her head, and said to the man beside her:

"Mike, I've been bored all these years... My parents want me to inherit the family business, but I'm not interested. I tried, but I'm not really fit to sit in an office and stare at the The beating numbers, do you know how many unsuspecting men have tried to approach me in various ways over the years?"

"Those scumbags are only looking at the family money and my body, bah, what a scumbag! I only had Bob break the third leg of a bastard trying to get strong last week, honestly , he should be glad it was Bob who did it, not me..."

Miss Ash snorted, blinked, and said to McCree:

"Mike, I plan to come out of the arena again!"

"Ok?"

The somewhat drowsy Agent McCree heard this sentence, and all his drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and he knew what Ash meant by "returning to the rivers and lakes".

His expression became serious, he bowed his head and kissed Ash's hair, and he said:

"No, don't do it. As much as I hate to admit it, girl, the world is not what we used to be, and there are many new situations in the world that we haven't encountered before, and bullets and guns can't protect you anymore , even with Bob."

"Superheroes, supercriminals, and the oddball superhuman, changes are happening, and the old days have been completely abandoned."

The agent said to Ash seriously:

"You've worked with Deathstroke and Wade, you know how difficult they are, and now the world is full of people like them, I know you like adventure, you like excitement, and I can understand how you feel about being here. It's like being in a birdcage in a big house, but listen to me, I don't want to get bad news about you someday."

"Be good, okay?"

"I know what's going on out there, Mike."

The agent's persuasion was sincere, but unfortunately Ash was never an obedient girl, she said dissatisfied:

"I also read the news, read the papers, I'm not a reckless person, listen to me, Mike, I'm not going to play childish gang games anymore, the deadlock gang is over, I'm not trying to get back At that time, I had a new plan."

"I went to the Hero Association some time ago."

Ash said:

"I have observed that organization for a long time, and that is the starting point of my new career."

"Hero Association?"

McCree frowned, he knew the existence of this organization.

This organization is a local non-governmental organization in New York. It appeared more than 2 years ago. It was initiated by several senior street heroes, because wild superheroes are appearing everywhere. Those people fight evil with a passion, but Things are often screwed up because of incompetence or lack of experience, so this organization came into being.

It will provide tests for those who want to become heroes, and those who pass each test will become one of them.

It's like a real association, but the New York Heroes' Association will also provide necessary training for new heroes, from combat skills to courses in dealing with various emergencies, and even cooperate with the police every month to conduct some Exercises on a small scale.

It has a set of provisions called the "Hero Code", which restricts the actions of superheroes when fighting evil. For example, they must control the situation to avoid harming ordinary people or disrupting social order.

For example, when encountering a dangerous emergency, you must contact your companions and the police, and you cannot just act recklessly.

For another example, the heroes who join the association do not need to provide personal information, but use their respective code names as signs, but if they are willing to register their identities within the association, they will receive hero allowances provided by the official and some foundations, as well as Olympic Nika Group tailor-made armor and non-lethal weapons.

Of course, there are some tough rules in these articles. For example, you must avoid using lethal weapons at all times to avoid accidentally injuring innocent people. Also, once you violate the hero code, you will be persuaded to leave, and if the circumstances are serious, you will be dismissed. pursue legal responsibility.

The executive power of this organization is super strong, because of its concept of restraint and protection, it has a good reputation among the citizens and the police.

But some people suspect that the New York Heroes Association is actually a hidden official organization, the purpose is to restrain more and more superheroes.

Well, this is just a rumor, but McRae knows that this rumor is true.

The New York Association of Heroes is indeed a semi-official organization. Its initiators, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Tandy Bowen, Tyrone Johnson, etc. agent.

And those wild, rebellious superheroes who violated the hero code, wanted to act recklessly, and specifically opposed the Hero Association, would disappear in a very short time.

Well, of course they weren't killed off... S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rules aren't quite this violent yet.

They all had their memories washed away, their abilities sealed, and they continued to live as ordinary people and protected persons.

McRae also knew that the New York Heroes Association, as well as several other "civilian organizations" in other areas, were S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attempts to control superhero affairs.

McRae didn't know how the upper echelons were going to deal with superhero affairs, but he could be sure that once the attempts of these moderate "civil society organizations" failed, then that Mr. "Raven" who was hiding behind the scenes would definitely take Some more direct and effective means of coercion.

Having worked in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s SDOLD for so many years, McCree has fully understood that once Director Merlin made up his mind on something, the entire terrifying force of S.H.I.E.L.D. would almost unconditionally cooperate with him.

But it's a pity that the little idiot Ash doesn't know this, and McCree can't tell her that these things are all secrets. Once he reveals the secrets, the results waiting for him are destined to be bad.

While McCree was worried, Ash was still talking about his thoughts.

"I went to watch them test their superheroes and watch them fight crime and I thought it was kind of interesting. I mean, street heroes... like Wonder Woman, when you're bored. Find trouble with those gangsters, and you can legally beat them up when you meet bad guys, and even kill them if necessary."

Ash licked her lips, and there was a gleam in her eyes, the light of ambition.

"I found that those professional heroes are no different from those of our past companions. They also form cliques. Although they are bound by rules on the surface, in fact, they are just a mess. They need a leader. To unite them, at this point, the divine power people have been very unsuccessful."

"They need a real leader, and whether it's doing good things or maintaining order, there is always more to come together."

"Mike, what's the point of commanding ordinary people?"

Ash rolled over and rode on McCree, and she said to her lover:

"I've found a new purpose... I'm going to build my own group of heroes, just like the 'All-Star Superman' formed by those young people in Los Angeles. You know, Mike, I have the ability to command them , and I just want that feeling of control, it's a new game, and I feel like I'm going to win."

"I'll convince you too...I'll convince you to train me like you used to, so I won't be abandoned by the new world. You see, I've lost all my muscles. It's a pity, so, Let's get some exercise."

Ashe's fingernails slid across McCree's chest, she leaned down and whispered in the agent's ear:

"The third time, I hope you won't lose this time."

"Wait...um."

Before McCree could finish, the new movement started, so he shut up and started enjoying, well, the night is still long, and there is still time to persuade this ambitious and stupid girl.

Oh, what's wrong?Don't want to be a superhero...

There are too many things to bear in that profession, and there is really no future.

-------------------

"If you want to become a superhero, you can't just rely on a gun and an omnic. In fact, the tests of the Association of Heroes are not something that ordinary people can pass. The purpose of those tests is to prevent ordinary people from doing something. Things beyond my ability."

In the wee hours of the morning, McCree got dressed. He looked back at the sleepy Ash. He walked over and kissed his girl on the forehead. He said:

"So you have to become stronger in order to pass it. I thought about it carefully. Instead of asking you to think of some messy methods and try some unreliable ideas, it's better for me to help you think of a way so that you don't get caught. People cheated."

He stroked Ash's hair, and he said softly:

"Do you remember Dr. Moira?"

"Well, remember, that old woman."

Ash nodded:

"Always look weird."

"Well, you'd better stop complaining about her."

McCree rubbed his forehead and said:

"Dr. Moira works for S.H.I.E.L.D., but she also has her own biology lab, and I heard she's been looking for test subjects recently. I mean, if you really make up your mind... I can ask ask."

"I knew you were the best for me, Mike."

Ash kissed the agent on the face, and she said happily:

"What kind of experiment is it?"

"It seems to be a downgraded version of the transformation of the demon hunter, there will be no alienated organs, I mean, your eyes will not mutate like mine, but it seems that there are still her research results in recent years. This is semi-official, And it's a registered trial, so its safety is at least guaranteed."

McCree sighed, and said:

"I know you, you must do what you set your mind to, so just wait for my news"

"I will go with you, no matter what happens in the future..."

"I will always be with you."
