I, the motherland, do whatever I want

"This is a passage from the Necronomicon."

"Let me take a look. These verses should be in the secret volume."

"It is said that what is recorded in the volume of secrets is the secret of the 'Queen of the Night'."

"Oh my God, this is a treasure trove!"

In the tomb at the top of the pyramid, Dr. Nick held a magnifying glass and kept circling the golden coffin.

Assistant Amy looked at the piles of corpses outside the tomb that had completely decomposed, leaving only bones in a daze.

"Why are these things outside the tomb?"

"It doesn't look like he was buried as a sacrifice. If he was buried as a sacrifice, he should be placed in a coffin or mummified."

Another assistant, Vic, passed by while carrying something and said, "Is there anything strange about this? He might be a tomb robber."

"You didn't see that there were traces of fighting everywhere along the way."

"There are also many animal bones."

Charlie, a survival expert who helped move things, followed Vic and said with approval: "Perhaps slave riots occurred after the pyramid was built, which is very common in history."

Amy murmured: "Maybe."

At this moment, she seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but raise her head and glance at the shadow above where the light couldn't reach.

Then he quickly walked into the tomb, not wanting to stay alone in the dark and empty hall.

Just in the shadows, a man in black robe used his hands and feet to crawl towards the darker corner above.

Up here, dozens of black robes gathered together, and they stared at the hall below.

From time to time, they communicated with each other in low, special voices.

If translated into human language.

Probably.

"How long will those humans stay here?"

"Human beings were originally pigs and sheep for us to enjoy, but Elder Tutanbeken actually refused to let us take action."

"There is no way, they should be friends of that 'Necromancer'."

"That's such a powerful mage. Even Elder Tutanbeken is no match for him."

"Stop talking, don't let them find us."

While the archaeological team was immersed in their work, the mercenary Kama and Tank walked out of the pyramid.

Pass through the main square and follow the granite steps to reach the 'Gate of the Afterlife'.

When they walked out of the door, they suddenly saw a figure, which startled them.

Then he saw clearly that it was John, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Kama walked over with a rifle in hand: "Mr. John, where have you been?"

"This place is very dangerous, you can't walk around at will."

Although her tone was stern, there was underlying concern.

As for whether he cares about Azu's people or Azu's wallet, it's unclear.

Azu smiled.

After he leveled Tutanbekken's tomb, he gave the undead elder a task.

Then he returned to the ‘Gate to the Afterlife’.

Now when asked by Karma, he found a lame excuse to excuse himself.

Kama didn't ask for more details. She said: "Now the doctor and the others have to study in the pyramid, which will probably take several days."

"We need to get some supplies there, so you can come with us."

Azu said happily: "That's what I was about to say, let me get you something."

Karma glanced at him and smiled: "No need, we can do this rough work."

Azu didn't insist, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Okay then."

Following Kama and walking underground again, Azu could now reach the top of the pyramid with his eyes closed.

Kama enthusiastically introduced the following situation to him.

For example, this stone staircase will be very long now, and it is said that the end of the stone staircase is a huge square.

Azu kept nodding, but his mind drifted to other places.

He looked at the message after the previous completed event.

[You successfully resolved this incident. 】

[Disaster level assessment of this incident: D++]

['Successful' evaluation settlement reward: 1 proficiency essence*40; 2 multi-treasure boxes*2; 3 magic book "The Bite of Death"*1]

[The products in your store have been updated with new items. 】

Not bad rewards for a disaster event.

There are 40 more proficiency essences.

There are now three multi-treasure chests.

A magic book was also awarded.

Azu thought for a moment and took out the magic book from the inventory.

It's said to be a magic book, but it's actually a palm-sized slate.

There were lines of symbols carved on it that Azu couldn't understand.

but.

When Azu looked at it, the corresponding information appeared on his retina.

[Bite of Death: This is one of Tutanbeken's most proud magics. It can pull out the target's soul, inflict damage, or control it, but it can be resisted or resolved. Do you want to learn? 】

Something given for free.

Why not learn?

Azu released a thought: Study!

The stone slab instantly turned into sand, as if it had experienced tens of thousands of years, and slipped through Azu's fingers.

Karma glanced back at him now, but noticed nothing.

Azu has quietly learned a kind of magic.

Come to the top of the pyramid.

Azu met Amy and others.

Amy was helping Dr. Nick record his findings and did not notice Azu's arrival at the first time.

When she and the doctor rested, they discovered that Azu had arrived.

When the girl saw Azu, she felt much safer, put down her things and ran over.

"Mr. John, where have you been?"

Azu had no choice but to repeat what he had just said to offend Kama.

Amy didn't take it to heart and kept talking to Azu about Dr. Nick's findings.

"The doctor said that the owner of the pyramid uses a golden coffin. This is a right that only elders can enjoy in the 'Immortal Empire'."

"The status of the tomb owner of this pyramid should be similar to that of the one in central Jordan."

"It's a pity that no mummy was found in the coffin. I'm afraid it has been stolen."

"That's a cultural relic."

Azu smiled, thinking that the 'cultural relic' had now left this place.

Fortunately, he left, otherwise, if you saw him, you might be scared to death.

After chatting with Azu for a while, Amy was called to work by the doctor.

Everyone else is also busy, even mercenaries, they have to move around to ensure that danger can be discovered in time.

Now Azu is the only one left.

He sat in the corner, rubbing the 'Traveler's Ring' on his hand.

Thinking of the doctor and the others, they would stay here for a few more days.

Azu thought to himself, why not go to the multiverse to pass the time?

He had just been to the 'Amazing Spider-Man Universe', and it had not been more than a month since the last time in the 'DC Universe'.

So what you can go to now is the ‘Marvel Universe’.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring the 'Cosmic Cube' with me."

"never mind."

"Bring it with you next time."

Azu tapped the 'Traveler's Ring', consumed 5 'Gloomy Proficiency Essence', and entered the Marvel Universe with a BUG.

A black-blue flame rose up and enveloped Azu's figure in the blink of an eye.

The helicopter flew across the land, casting a swift shadow on the ground.

Looking down from the helicopter, you can see a road passing through the forest and crossing the river. In the end, the road was blocked by a wall that stretched for more than ten kilometers.

This wall is more than twenty meters high and is made of dark-colored armor. It can be seen that it is not easy to cross it.

At this time, the helicopter in the sky passed by the wall and flew into the world inside the wall.

"If you pass through this wall without authorization, you will be violently attacked," said the gray-haired Dr. Wagbaum, wearing a headset.

"Vought Corporation invests a huge budget here every year to maintain the defense system on this border."

"In addition to weapons platforms and a large amount of manpower, the defense system also includes three metahumans."

"They signed a confidentiality agreement and must serve here for ten years before leaving."

“This is now the eighth year.”

Sitting opposite Dr. Wagbaum, Minister Wilson said solemnly: "Even the Federation doesn't know the existence of this place."

"I checked the satellite map. On the satellite map, this should be an uninhabited virgin forest."

Dr. Wagbaum smiled and said: "For Vought, it is not too difficult at all to modify an inconspicuous area of ​​the satellite map."

"This is not an important area of ​​the federation, nor is it a border area. It is just an inconspicuous little corner of the vast country."

"The Federation won't care at all, am I right?"

The Secretary of Defense doesn’t want to admit it, but it’s true.

It can be said that Walter Company took great pains to choose this place to hide Beka and her son.

No wonder no one discovered this for so many years.

"look."

Dr. Wagbaum pointed below, where scattered houses could be seen.

There are even some public facilities.

For example, small community hospitals, small squares, churches, radio stations, etc.

It feels like a small town, except the buildings are smaller.

Minister Wilson glanced at the building below and said, "You established a virtual community for that mother and son?"

"That's right."

"Neighbours, friends, co-workers, everything here is a huge and sophisticated lie."

"A beautiful lie to keep Ryan here."

Dr. Wagbaum pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "It takes a lot of money to maintain this lie, but it is worth it."

"If this were not the case, Lane would not have been under the surveillance of Vought."

"However, in this lie, not all is false."

"At least Ryan's playmates of the same age are real."

"Those are orphans we adopted from all over the country and were abandoned as soon as they were born."

"We send these orphans here and let Vought's employees raise them."

"They're like a real family a lot of the time."

"And those children won't know that they are actually serving Vought."

Minister Wilson looked at the doctor and said, "In other words, little Ryan and the other children have never left this area?"

Dr. Wagbaum nodded: "Yes, Mr. Secretary."

The Minister of Defense lamented: "Then they are too pitiful."

"I don't think so."

Dr. Wagbaum said: "Whether Ryan or those orphans, they can live a life of adequate food and clothing in this isolated place, which is a blessing in itself."

"As long as they don't know the world outside, they won't feel pitiful."

"Human beings' perception of misfortune is based on feelings derived from comparison."

"As long as you don't know, there is no misfortune or pity."

At this time, the helicopter began to land and stopped at a landing point.

Wilson and Dr. Wagbaum got off the plane and got into a car that had been prepared for them.

Dr. Wagbaum, who was finally able to take off his headphones, said: "At this time, Ryan is in class at the community school."

"Beca is the only one at home."

"It would be convenient for us to talk about something."

After a while, the car came to a house.

On the lawn in front of the house, a woman was mowing flowers and grass. When she heard the sound of a car, she raised her head curiously.

She is no longer young, but is well maintained and is still quite beautiful and attractive.

Wilson glanced at her in the car and said, "No wonder people from the motherland take a fancy to her."

Dr. Wagbaum said: "It may not be because of her charm that people in the motherland are attracted to her."

The two got out of the car.

Dr. Wagbaum took the initiative and said, "Good afternoon, Ms. Becca."

Beca stood up in surprise: "Dr. Wagbaum?"

She then said nervously: "Didn't we say we wouldn't meet in private?"

"Don't be nervous, Becca, something has changed." Dr. Wagbaum introduced, "This is Mr. Wilson, the current federal minister of defense."

The scissors in Beca's hand suddenly fell to the grass. She covered her mouth and shouted softly: "What's going on?"

She had seen Wilson on TV and naturally knew that the middle-aged man in front of her was one of the most powerful people in the federation.

The Minister of Defense came to visit. As smart as she was, she naturally knew that something big had happened.

inside the house.

Becca placed two cups of coffee in front of Dr. Wagbaum and Secretary Wilson.

"You said that the people of the motherland have lost control?"

Dr. Wagbaum nodded: "Yes, he killed Edgar and left the Federation in a mess."

Beca sat down: "I'm sorry."

"I told you earlier, that's not a superhero, that's a demon."

"Unfortunately, you don't think so."

"Then, what does this matter have to do with me?"

She paused, then as if she thought of something, she raised a finger.

"No."

"No no no."

"Dr. Wagbaum, we agreed at the beginning to let Ryan be a normal person."

"You can't use him against the people of the motherland, and that man is his biological father."

What a smart woman!

Minister Wilson leaned forward slightly: "Ms. Beka, we have tried many methods, hoping to restrain the people of the motherland."

"But they all ended in failure."

"Let me describe to you what will happen if the people of our country are not controlled."

"If he goes unchecked and goes crazy, he could leave this country in ruins."

"According to our latest intelligence, cloud bombs have been determined to be ineffective against the people of the motherland."

"As for the nuclear bomb, the ideal situation is to injure him."

"This is the best situation I can think of."

"I even doubt that he would be able to survive a nuclear bomb strike."

"So you see, he's a superhuman being who can't be restrained."

"If he goes crazy, the good life you have now may come to naught at any time."

"Please imagine a day when everything in front of you is reduced to rubble."

"A man from the motherland fell from the sky, but Ryan, who should have been able to fight against him, could only close his eyes in front of you because he was not prepared in advance."

"Can you accept this ending?"

"If that's okay with you."

"Then I'll leave now."

Dr. Wagbaum also said: "Ms. Beka, you know quite well what kind of man he is."

"You're not so naive as to think that he won't do anything to Ryan, are you?"

Beca covered her mouth with her hands: "I don't know."

"Well, from what I know about him."

"If he thought Ryan was a threat, even to his son, he would take action."

Minister Wilson spread his hands and said: "Yes, that's it."

"So now, I hope that Ryan can receive professional training to prepare for possible disasters in the future."

"For now, we should be able to stabilize him."

"But who knows how long it can last."

"Maybe ten years, maybe one year, maybe he will fall out tomorrow."

"This is not impossible."

Beca held her forehead and said, "But how do I explain it to Ryan."

"Oh my God."

"It was so cruel to him."

Wilson glanced at Dr. Wagbaum, then took out his phone, opened a video, and put it in front of Beca's eyes.

"This should be your husband, William Butcher."

Hear the name.

Beca immediately grabbed her phone and clicked play.

In the video, it seems to be a scene in a community park.

The people of the motherland are among them.

Her husband, William Butcher, was also present.

"no no"

Beca shook her head, as if she had a premonition of something.

Next.

A petite woman with asymmetrical short hair ran into Butcher's arms and thrust her hand out of Butcher's back.

"No!"

Beca stood up abruptly.

The phone fell to the ground.

Eyeballs welled up from his eyes.

It fell to the carpet like a broken pearl.

She shook her head, looked at Minister Wilson and said, "Who is that woman?"

"She's the new superhero joining the Seven, Storm."

Minister Wilson replied: "As far as we know, she should have reached some kind of agreement with the people of the motherland."

"Maybe joining the Seven, maybe something else."

"In short, after she killed your husband William Butcher, she joined the Seven."

Beca's whole body seemed to have lost its life, and she sat back in despair.

"Butcher is dead?"

"he died?"

"Oh my God, I didn't even get to apologize to him."

"Oh my God."

Minister Wilson stood up at this time: "Ms. Beka, please think about it carefully. I will come again at this time tomorrow."

"Hopefully there will be good news."

Then, he winked at Dr. Wagbaum, and the two of them left.

After a while.

A woman's mournful cries gradually sounded in the house.
