A Certain Marvel Super Player

"How did you..."

"Is that hard to guess?"

After Locke finished telling his guess, he heard the voice of the anonymous person on the other end of the phone who seemed to be shocked. He interrupted directly, and then asked a question.

Is it difficult?

Locke knew that this mission was specially prepared for him, and Anonymous also said that the reason why Marissa Wigler disliked him was because of Walter Burke.

However, Anonymous just asked him mysteriously if he knew the director of this so-called Lighthouse Project.

Since Anonymous has said so, it is obvious that the implication is that the director of the Lighthouse Project is also familiar to Locke. Among the CIA people Locke is familiar with, those who have this ability, after excluding Anonymous, naturally, also It is the last one left, combined with the known information, there is no doubt that it is also the only one.

Walter Burke.

but……

Until the plane landed, Locke didn't know what this so-called lighthouse project was.

In the words of Anonymous, after Lorraine Broughton passed away, Anonymous reorganized her information, and then noticed this joint mission. After investigation, it was discovered that after Eric Heller betrayed, this plan, was stopped.

Any information related to this plan has been deleted.

It must be paper information left behind...

There is no doubt about this, but according to the CIA's principle of supervisory authority, Anonymous said that even if paper information existed, he would have no way of finding it. After all, you cannot be expected to ask your enemies for information.

but……

"Project Lighthouse?"

Locke physically destroyed the notebook. After getting in the car, he sat in the back seat and stared at the Secret Service Training Academy as it drove in. He tapped his chin with his right hand and narrowed his eyes: "It seems that we are going to Walter Burke's." My mind is spinning."

no information?

As long as there are parties involved.

Locke became curious about this lighthouse project. Anonymous could not find any information, but the director of this lighthouse project was still there. If he went into Walter Burke's mind and took a look around, there would be nothing. Do you understand?

To reduce wisdom?

Locke never did this.

However, Walter Burke is not in the Secret Service Academy.

besides……

James Clayton is no longer in the training academy.

Locke hugged Patriot Jack, and then frowned: "What do you mean, James Clayton was fired by Walter Burke?"

Patriot Jack sighed and said, "James didn't make it through."

Locke blinked.

It turned out that when Locke went back to celebrate Christmas, although there was no holiday at the Secret Service Academy, the students were still allowed to have a holiday in the town next door. However, the students did not expect that this holiday was also arranged.

Before the vacation, it was revealed that a hostile agent organization was trying to find their academy. Then, while the students were on vacation, they were directly kidnapped, and then conducted a torture and loyalty test.

And James Clayton failed in this loyalty test and did not survive. He told the actual instructor named the kidnapper the information he knew.

Then?

James Clayton was fired, and he was fired in public.

Locke raised his eyebrows and looked at Patriot Jack.

"how about you?"

"I, how is that possible?"

Patriot Jack looked at Locke's suspicious eyes and said directly: "I can choose to sacrifice myself for the country. The enemy will never get any information from me. I swore an oath."

Locke nodded thoughtfully.

Right.

Patriot Jack is a serious patriot. After seeing the September 11th incident, he gave up his studies and resolutely became a soldier.

This is a man of true faith.

Locke was thinking this, and then thought of Walter Burke: "What about Walter Burke?"

"he's gone."

"gone?"

"right."

Patriot Jack said: "After that test, Walter Burke left. In Walter Burke's words, our internship tasks were arranged by other instructors. By the way, I will also do it later. gone."

Locke looked at Patriot Jack: "The mission is out?"

Patriot Jack laughed out loud and looked at Locke: "Locke, you know what I can't tell. It's a secret."

Locke laughed: "Okay."

interesting.

Was this because he was afraid that I would directly retaliate after learning the contents of the mission from the nameless person, so he left quickly? Did he even take this opportunity to pack up and take away his promising agent seedlings?

Locke thought this in his mind, and sneered at the so-called James Clayton being fired because he had not been tortured.

Very simple.

Anonymous has also told Locke before that the so-called torture test is just a test. In the annual agent training academy, it is not impossible that no one can survive this torture test to the end.

but……

There are very few people who keep silent like this. Most of the agent trainees will end up in failure if they persist until the end. After all, except for a few people who have faith, like Patriot Jack, most of them are just people. As a rookie, my loyalty is far from the level of a die-hard loyalist.

Then here comes the problem.

Why, after everyone else came clean during this torture test, no one else was fired, but James Clayton was the only one who was fired?

soon.

When Locke packed up his things and went to report to other instructors, his suspicions were confirmed.

Most of the secret service academies did not survive the torture test, but the reason why James Clayton was dismissed was because of the decision made by Walter Burke.

Very simple.

James Clayton was recruited by Walter Burke, and according to the instructor, Director Walter Burke was an agent with no sand in his eyes. Over the years, he had recruited anyone who could not handle He would fire all agents directly, so after this time, when James Clayton was fired by Walter Burke, no one was surprised at all.

After all, the recruited agents are, to some extent, bound to the persons being recruited.

After Eric Heller's rebellion happened, the Bureau came up with a rule. The loyalty of agents is bound. Once an agent's rebellion occurs, he will be jointly recruited. The responsibility of the author comes.

Locke listened to the instructors' explanation, smiled, and shrugged: "That's too bad. I'm still planning to come back and continue studying seriously with Mr. Walter Burke."

"Do you still need to study?"

"that is."

"You are number one in this issue."

Several instructors listened to Locke's words about the regret of not being able to meet Walter Burke. They looked at each other and laughed. Among them, the instructor who replaced Walter Burke took out a document bag and handed it to Locke: "Your mission , has come down."

Locke took the file, looked at the instructor, and planned to struggle: "Do you know where Mr. Walter Burke is now? If that doesn't work, it would be a good choice to call and say goodbye."

it is a pity.

The instructor shook his head and said that Walter Burke was an agent, but he was also a supervisor, just like Mr. Anonymous who was in the sky every day, coming and going without a trace, except for a few people whom Walter Burke trusted. , if Walter Burke does not want to be found, then even the director will have no way to find Walter Burke.

Locke sighed, further confirming his suspicion.

Walter Burke has run away.

"He ran so fast."

"What?"

"ah."

Locke shook his head, smiled and said: "I said, it's a pity that he left so fast."

The instructor glanced at Locke and didn't ask too many questions. He pointed to the document bag in Locke's hand and said, "Your mission is inside. As required, you will arrive at the designated location at the designated time."

Locke looked at the coordinates and time written on the note on the document bag and nodded.

When Locke returned to the dormitory after completing his mission, Jack, the patriot who lived opposite, had already packed his luggage.

Enter the eyes.

Locke also saw a document bag placed on Patriot Jack's luggage that was exactly the same as the one he just got.

"Did you get it?"

"The same to you?"

"What mission?"

Locke looked at Patriot Jack with a smile: "I will tell you my mission, will you tell me?"

Patriot Jack said: "This is forbidden, Locke, it is a rule that you are not allowed to inquire about other people's missions."

Locke glanced at Patriot Jack, and then directly revealed the coordinates of where he was going to take the plane. Then, he looked at Patriot Jack and said nothing.

Patriot Jack opened his mouth, then sighed helplessly, and told Locke the coordinates he had led.

Locke then smiled and hugged Patriot Jack: "Take care!"

"The same to you."

After Patriot Jack left the academy in a car, Locke lifted the document bag directly into his hand and got into the car that followed.

soon.

An hour later, the car arrived at a private airport in the suburbs. Not far away, a military transport plane was already parked on the spot.

Locke showed it. When he just got off the bus, the driver gave him something and entered it into the belly of the transport plane. He looked at the person not far away who was resting with his arms crossed and leaning against the cabin and raised his eyebrows. .

"Mace."

Locke threw his luggage to the side, then sat across from Metz and said with a smile: "Why, am I not surprised at all?"

Metz, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Locke who was sitting down.
