[Zhongyingmei] That snake

"My friend, you are a genius. Why do you stay in this laboratory all the time? The central experimental area belongs to you. The weapon experiment department will definitely lose to us. I can already imagine their faces like bald donkeys."

Dr. Green pulled Brett up, hugged him regardless of the latter's opinion, laughed and patted Brett's back, and then pressed Brett's shoulders by virtue of his height.

"What are you trying to say, Dr. Green? I don't understand you."

"Your material application has been approved. Ms. Maria wants to see you and have a detailed talk with you. I'm here to congratulate you and take you to the central experimental area by the way."

When Oliver heard the news about Maria, his nerves tensed instantly, and at the same time he manipulated his ability to control his shoulder muscles pressed by Green not to twitch due to the tension.

There was a smile and surprise on his face, "Really? Go now, I haven't met Ms. Maria yet."

"You won't be disappointed." Green patted Brett on the shoulder with a smile, handed the information to Oliver, and led him outside.

Oliver didn't see any guards along the way, until he entered the partition entrance of the central experimental area, two teams of guards followed behind them, one on the left and one on the right.Green seemed to be used to it, and smiled to tell Brett not to be nervous, which was the norm.

Brett rubbed his hands together and nodded nervously, "Well, I know, but I just... you know, human beings sometimes have a hard time controlling themselves."

Oliver knew that Maira had seen through his hidden identity, but he was not sure if Maria knew that Oliver knew that she had seen through Oliver's identity.

The most favorable situation for Oliver is that Maria is still not aware of it. In Oliver's speculation, the probability of being in a state of active attack is 50%, or even higher. I only hope that my luck will be better, and at the same time, I will control my behavior , so that his every move fits Brett, so that when he is lucky enough, but because of his own stupidity, his identity is exposed and he loses his initiative and priority.

Green led Brett to the doorway of a glass door at least eight feet high and ten feet wide. Two teams of guards with deadpan faces and stern eyes.

He looked at himself in the mirror and felt a sense of being watched.He guessed that the glass was one-way glass, which was due to Maria's desire to control. People in the room were closely watching the situation in the corridor, but people outside could not see the scene.

But Maria doesn't seem to be there. Oliver lowered his head halfway to cover it up, and analyzed and confirmed the information he had received again. Oliver wouldn't be bored to analyze Maria's DNA information and analysis the last time he was in London, but at least he could still tell whether the people in the house were male or female.He can confirm that Loki is in the room.

"Don't be in a daze when you get here," Green pushed Bright with some dissatisfaction, "Ms. Maria is an excellent leader, but an excellent leader means that she has a bad temper, so pay attention to her words and deeds. There's nothing I can do to help you here."

"I know." Brett would not thank him.

"Dr. Bright, please come in."

The glass door was automatically opened, and Maria's desk was facing the door. This strong woman was sitting on her chair, with a vaguely aggressive smile, looking at Bu who was at a loss at the door. Wright, Green whispered in his ear, "I won't go in, I don't have permission."

Something was wrong, and doubt flashed in Oliver's eyes.

The person sitting on the seat was not Maria at all, or in other words, it was not a real person at all, it was more like an image created by Loki's illusion, but there was no special energy fluctuation that Oliver could perceive in the image created by illusion.

He quickly calmed down, walked slowly towards Maria's desk, secretly activated his ability to outline the outline of the entire room, and quickly calculated various escape routes after taking the Mind Gem.

"Hello, Ms. Maria." According to Brett's character, Oliver looked down at the toes of his leather shoes, which still had traces of ink spilled on them. Can't help but want to use Maria's rug as a shoe shine cloth.

"Hi, Dr. Brett." Maria leaned back her head on the back of the chair, allowing her chin to lift up slightly, revealing a graceful arc.Her legs were crossed, and the upturned foot in the red high-heeled shoes kept turning her ankle. Her left arm rested on the armrest, and her center of gravity was shifted to the left.A fountain pen is held loosely between the fingertips.

"I have read your proposal, it is very good. There is a document on the desk, sign your name at the end, take it to the resource department to ask them for experimental funds and materials."

Oliver walked to the desk, picked up a stack of A4 papers and flipped through them briefly. He looked like an impatient high school student. When he turned to the last page of the document, Maria had already signed her name, Oliver His eyes swept around the table, trying to find a pen, but Maria’s desk was empty, and he could only see the black walnut table top was waxed, reflecting a faint luster, just like Oliver at the BAU table Same, nothing.

"I can, can I have a pen?" Brett smacked his lips and looked at the pen in Maria's hand. Maria was rotating the pen on her fingertips alternately with her index finger and middle finger.

Instead of handing over the pen to Brett, she propped her chin with her right hand and looked at Brett with a half-smile.

"Your pen." A pair of white and slender hands stuffed a pen into Brett's hand.

Oliver didn't even have to turn his head, just by the dark green hem in his field of vision, he knew it was Loki.

Maria cast her eyes on Loki with great interest, and changed into a black suit and black shirt, "Are you so kind today?"

Oliver took the pen and drew a stroke, but found out helplessly that Loki was not such a kind person, the ink in the pen tube was red and smelled of blood.But he only paused for a moment before continuing to sign Bright's full name.

"Your guest?" Loki asked.

"He is the main character today." Maria replied.

Brett suddenly looked up at Maria, stammering slightly, "Ms. Maria, what do you mean? I thought my experiment..."

"Continue with your experiment if you want." Maria stood up while speaking, "But I also have something new for you, follow me, I will show you something, don't waste your talent."

Maria led the two towards another door in the office, the heels of her high heels stepped on the soft cashmere carpet, but the sound became dull.

When Maria approached, the door automatically opened to both sides, revealing a corridor. The corridor was not long and had no lights, but it could be seen that the cold blue light from the end of the corridor spread out into a circular arc.

When Maria stepped onto the corridor with the metal floor, the sound of the high heels colliding with the ground changed back to a crisp sound.

Oliver followed behind Maria, and the further he walked, the more he could feel the oppression of a powerful force.

It is the survival instinct of every creature to discern the oppression of power, and Oliver's mutant ability makes him more sensitive, but because of this, the energy that can make him feel a strong sense of oppression is extremely rare, and it must be vast and majestic enough.

Loki followed Maria from a distance, and even fell some distance behind Oliver. Oliver turned his head and mouthed to Loki, "Get out of here now and do what I told you to do."

"Now, are you sure?"

"I'm sure, hurry up, I don't know how long I can last."

"Okay." Loki's figure was blurred like water ripples for a few seconds, and Oliver's ability could feel that Loki's body had left from the unclosed doorway, leaving only his phantom here.

Maria happened to turn her head to take a look. She was standing against the light so that people couldn't see her expression clearly, but she could only hear her say, "Go faster, Brett."

After entering the light range, Oliver was finally able to see the complete structure of the laboratory they were entering now.

Most of the buildings in the entire base are hidden underground, but before Oliver entered the base, he still saw a part of the building exposed to the surface. This laboratory contains the surface part, and at the same time extends hundreds of feet underground. This corridor leads to only the entire building. It's just an observation deck at half the height.

The entire laboratory is transected into a huge circular surface, just like the giant gas storage tanks in the ironworks of the last century.

The four walls are still old masonry surfaces, but the gaps are reinforced with metal. The strong lights are arranged like ores embedded in the mountain, and the light in the laboratory is almost dazzling.

Oliver tentatively took a few steps forward, approaching the protective railing and looking down.Experimenters in white protective clothing were busy like worker bees at the bottom of the building. In the center was a huge round sphere of bright yellow light fluttering like flying catkins. He squinted his eyes to see the golden energy sphere clearly. The Mind Stone wrapped in the center - his goal.

"What's that?" Brett still asked.

"A permanent energy body." Maria replied right on his right.

"How do we get down?"

"Are you so impatient?" Maria turned her head, looked into Brett's cloudy eyes, and suddenly smiled, which made Oliver's scalp tingle.

"Time is always ticking," he replied reluctantly.

"I see." Maria nodded, "Then go down now. You will thank me."

Oliver felt the sudden danger, but he didn't understand what Maria meant when he found that the ground he was stepping on suddenly began to shake, the concrete surface was cracked, and the 50 cm thick observation platform was directly split from Oliver's feet. , falling down.

Oliver admitted that he really didn't expect this trick, that he could guarantee that he would not die in a free fall of hundreds of feet, but as he had described to Tony, it was really not very pretty.
