Chapter 243 Doubt
Suburbs, bombed astronomical bases.
Between the churning flames and the messy ruins, half of the ceiling was suddenly lifted dullly. Superman flew up against the wreckage of the ceiling, and threw it aside easily like opening a bottle cap. Batman came out from under the ruins and patted the dust on his body.
Batman glanced at the burning ruins and said in a deep voice: "You didn't save them... those who were locked in it."
"Sorry." Superman said, "Time is so urgent...I only have time to save you."
"They are destroying evidence." Batman looked at the ruins and said lightly.
"who?"
"I don't know." Batman turned around and said, "Recently, there have been security loopholes in our global deep space monitoring security system. If I could detect it, there would definitely be other people in various departments of the government, but no one or force has any movement about it."
Superman raised his eyebrows: "What kind of precursor do you think this is a conspiracy?"
"I always prepare in the worst way." Batman said lightly.
Superman shrugged: "Of course, I know you."
"I'm not sure what I've made, but what I've just seen has exceeded my expectations." Batman mused. "Now I have a guess that if that's true, the situation we face may be unprecedentedly severe, and the next step in my action plan is necessary. We'd better work together..."
"Wait," Superman interrupted, "but... I have something else to do."
Batman glanced at him: "If you are worried that you will fire you if you don't go to the head editor, then there is no need to. Last month, Bruce Wayne bought the Planet Daily newspaper. Do you remember? I will arrange a task for you that needs to be on a business trip..."
"Ah, not this." Superman waved his hand awkwardly, "I mean...the issue of world peace."
Batman frowned: "You mean the idiotic decision on TV to accept the senator's proposal to maintain peace on Earth."
"Yes...ah, wait a moment, it's not that idiotic, right?" Superman said, "I don't think it's that bad either..."
"Forget your complicated diplomatic activities." Batman was not interested in continuing to listen, interrupting him, "If my guess is true, what we will do next is much more important than your stupid diplomatic conferences."
New York, Avengers Building.
In the Avengers' huge conference room, there was only a guy in all black uniform sitting on the edge of the round table. He wore a black tight-fitting uniform made of metal from head to toe, and his shape was similar to a ninja who combined with modern armed forces. He sat at the table and operated the three-dimensional floating screen projected on the table, browsing the information intently.
Suddenly he silently closed the screen, slowly stood up from the chair, and turned around. He saw that Eric and Riven had appeared in front of the hall at some point and looked at each other.
"Who are you?" Eric frowned and asked first, "Why are you here?"
Although I asked this, Eric actually knew this guy - Black Panther, the Marvel World superhero, the young king of the African country Wakanda, and was also a member of the Avengers in the original work. But the last time Eric met the Avengers, he didn't have half a shadow of this guy, and suddenly appeared in the Avengers Hall, and it was impossible to judge whether it was an enemy or a friend.
"This should be my problem." Black Panther spoke without hesitation, "According to the new notice of ASCHUN, you are wanted criminals, right?"
Seeing his posture as if he was about to take action, Raven took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally, and the faint purple fluctuations were released from her body like flames.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and both sides seemed ready to fight at any time, with only the last fuse.
"etc!"
The automatic door of the hall opened, and Tony Stark took the lead and walked in quickly, with the rest of the Avengers following closely behind.
"Black Panther is our new member," Tony explained. "Black Panther, this child can be trusted, he is our comrade-in-arms."
After a pause, he turned to Eric: "But we do have questions to ask - why did you get the wanted order again? What happened this time?"
"It's not something I've caused this time. The reason why things have developed like this is because I noticed something..." Eric paused and solemnly glanced at everyone.
“…The Earth has been infiltrated by aliens.”
After a long period of silence, everyone looked at each other.
As expected, Eric took the opportunity to carefully observe everyone's reaction after hearing this sentence, and did not miss the subtle differences in the facial changes of each person.
"Wait," Ant-Man said, "Is this an April Fool's Day joke?"
"It's true. I watched an alien who mimicked me become my first sight and turned back to its original state." Eric continued to sweep everyone, and said lightly, "And he is definitely not the only one. More aliens have been involved in all aspects of the earth. ASUS has been penetrated. I have confirmed that the current ASUSUS agent Sharon Carter is a fake. In addition, the whereabouts of Nick Fury, the chief of SUSUSUSUSUS, are unknown. What's worse is that we are talking now..."
He deliberately paused and looked at everyone carefully.
"...It is very likely that there are mimic aliens among the Avengers present."
After he finished speaking in a serious tone, he paused. There was a long silence, and then Hulk was the first to break the atmosphere and burst into laughter. He laughed for a while before stopping, saying, "This is not funny at all."
Ant-Man also said: "Are you sure you know what you just said? You sound like you've watched too many science fiction movies."
"No." Unexpectedly, Tony spoke with a gloomy face, "What he said... should be true."
Everyone looked at Tony, including Eric.
In fact, Eric came here to say these things and didn't expect the Avengers to believe them simply. He estimated that the possibility of being penetrated by the Scrullers was quite high. His purpose here was to make the Avengers be careful and not be unprepared when the Scrullers attacked; the second was to observe the reactions of everyone when they heard his words, and to observe who was the Scrullers spy. However, Tony's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.
"What does it mean, Tony?" asked Captain America.
"Fry has indeed been missing for over a month," Tony said in a deep voice, "and he had contacted me secretly a few days ago."
"What!?" Everyone was surprised, and Ant-Man asked, "Why haven't you told us at all?"
Tony glanced at everyone: "Because he also told me that there were aliens undercover inside the Avengers. But I didn't believe it, and I didn't want to believe it..."
"If Fury didn't doubt the target, he wouldn't tell you." The captain said lightly, "Who is the person Fury doubted, Tony?"
Tony didn't say anything, his eyes turned to Black Panther, and the others' eyes immediately focused on him.
"So you are suspicious of me?" Black Panther said lightly.
"Fry said you have weirdness, and I think so, too," Tony said. "Look at what we know--your name is Techara, the heir to the throne of Wakanda, and beyond that? You sneaked into the Avengers building, peeked at the detailed data of all of us, and then asked to join the Avengers, and we just let it go."
"The captain said he respected my personal privacy." Black Panther said coldly, "and we have fought side by side, and I have won your trust."
"Not enough," Tony said, "I hope you can stay honestly in the room and don't go anywhere before we can find evidence that you are not an alien spy."
"Wait, maybe we shouldn't be so skeptical without any evidence." Thor stood up and opposed, "Techara has performed several missions with us. He is our comrade-in-arms and should not be treated with suspicion."
"I agree with Tony," Ant-Man said after thinking, "maybe at least he should have had some physical tests first."
"If what you said is true, then I'm sorry, I can't stay here." Black Panther said. "If the global threat is really threatened by aliens, my country will need me very much, and I have to hurry back."
"Not until you confirm that your identity is OK." Tony did not give in.
The atmosphere that had just calmed down heated up again, and the Avengers were instantly tense and confronted each other, as if they were ready to start a war at any time.
Eric kept silent throughout the whole process and quietly observed the development of the situation.
It's time for you to go chess, Mr. Spy. What are you going to do next?
At this most tense moment, the change regenerated.
The alarm sound of the building was almost at the same time as the sound of windows shattering. The glass curtain wall on the outside was shattered "clang", and a fiery red afterimage threw in along a parabola and rolled into a pile of glass slag on the floor of the hall in a mess.
She is a slim and slender girl with a dark red tight uniform that is damaged in many places, and her brown hair spreads out on the floor of the hall. She is covered in bruises and her consciousness seems to be no longer very sober.
