Marvel: God of Spear Technical Advisor
Chapter 348 For Skye's Future
The kind reminder did not cause Lena much trouble; just half a day later, this extremely confident black lady once again expressed her firm determination to become a member of the Inhumans.
There is nothing to say going forward. After all, it is an obsession that has lasted for more than 20 years. It cannot be dismissed in a few words, and he will not spend too much thought on this matter. Out of the need to keep his promise, he also keeps the secret.
When necessary, he personally took Reina to visit the "afterlife".
However, people in the "afterlife" do not welcome them.
This mountain village, hidden deep in the mountains and covered by layers of virgin jungle, is not as wild and backward as you imagined. There is water and electricity here, and most of the houses are made of modern building materials; Gordon must have not been there at the time.
Don't bother with this.
Except for the need to hide and ban all electronic signals, this place is no different from ordinary villages in the outside world. And as the "afterlife" is exposed to the sight of the Divine Spear Bureau, the prohibition of electronic signals is expected to change soon.
The village will eventually integrate into modern society in the future.
But at present, the residents of the "afterlife" are still very wary of outsiders who are not aliens. The most obvious sign is that when Xiang Qian stood at the entrance of the village, only Jia Ying came to greet him with a young white man, and the others
Either stay away or close your doors.
"It's a great honor to trouble Ms. Jia Ying to greet me personally." Xiang Xiang was used to pretending in front of others, so he introduced the people he met for the first time as usual.
However, Jia Ying didn't give Playboy any face at all; she waited for the other party to introduce Reina with the most basic courtesy, and then said bluntly: "It's not that I want to come to greet you, but that no one in the village wants to deal with you."
Pointing forward to the white man next to him: "Isn't there another one? I think this is a good start."
"His name is Lincoln Campbell. He has always liked Daisy, so I had to come to see you when I heard you were coming." Jia Ying's voice was cold and stiff, like a dagger piercing someone's heart.
Xiang Qian was slightly startled, and then he looked at the white man in front of him with great interest. This young man probably didn't expect that Jia Ying would speak so bluntly, and he was not as shameless as Xiang Qian, and was so embarrassed that he was covered in embarrassment.
Feeling uncomfortable.
"It's a pity... your appearance, body shape, temperament, and knowledge are all a little worse. Seeing that you are so shy and embarrassed, I guess your social skills are not very good, and it is difficult to please girls." Xiang Xiang commented in a serious manner.
, "I guess I can only work hard on personal wealth, and maybe there is still a little bit of chance of surpassing me; although the possibility is still slim, at least it is not like other aspects, where there is no chance."
The young Lincoln didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, his face was red, and he was mumbling for a long time but couldn't say a word.
Even Lena began to feel pity for this young man.
This poor young man was used as a weapon by Jia Ying to attack Xiang Xiang. Unfortunately, when facing the playboy, he was not even qualified to be cannon fodder. Under Xiang Xiang's seemingly casual but actually harsh words, the round was not finished yet.
, everything from self-confidence to self-esteem was completely destroyed, not even a scrap was left.
In this world, how many men can be as good as Qianqian? Especially as a latecomer in a girl’s love life.
Jia Ying also realized her mistake, and without giving her a chance to pursue the victory, she abruptly interjected: "What are you doing here?"
"Are you going to let us stand here and say? Is this how guests are entertained in the 'afterlife'?"
"We did not invite you, and you are not our guest."
"Uninvited guests are also guests!" Qiang Xiang said in Chinese.
Jia Ying immediately pushed back coldly, saying the same sentence in Chinese: "Uninvited guests, where are the guests? Even if they are, they are also unwelcome guests!"
Lincoln and Lena couldn't understand Chinese, but they both felt that the atmosphere at the scene was gradually getting stiffer.
Under the fierce gaze of the female leader of the Inhumans, she waved her hand forward nonchalantly: "This part is a bit sharp, why don't we try it again?"
Then he raised his hand and pushed Reina forward: "I brought one of your compatriots."
Jia Ying glanced at the black woman, indifferent, still with a sullen face: "What then?"
"Then? Haven't you been helping the aliens mutate? You also asked me to help open up the smuggling channel. Lena also hopes to mutate."
Jia Ying looked at Lena again, but quickly withdrew her gaze: "Impossible, I will not arrange for her to mutate."
"Why?"
"Because it's not necessary!"
Xiang Xiang was puzzled: "I never thought of this. Are the mutations of the Inhumans distributed on demand?"
"Do you think mutation is a good thing? You don't know the pain that every alien suffers during the mutation process." Jia Ying said, "Although the number of aliens is far less than that of mutants, it is conservatively estimated to be no less than a hundred.
Ten thousand; how many of them do you think can get my help, and how many of them have been mutated by my hands?"
"One thousand, or two thousand? Are there material difficulties or other constraints?"
"Haven't you always wanted to find out information about the 'afterlife'? Then I can tell you a number: six hundred and thirty-seven people. This is the total number of aliens who have mutated in the 'afterlife' over the past 20 years." Jia Ying said.
, "The vast majority of them are people whose own genes have shown signs of instability. If they do not mutate, it is very likely to cause genetic collapse and endanger their lives."
"Oh, I didn't expect that either."
"You already know now? Then you can leave - I will try not to say malicious words like 'get out' to you."
Seeing Jia Ying turning to leave, she stepped forward and suddenly said: "But I promised Miss Reina that to fulfill her wish, I must fulfill the contract because it is related to my business reputation."
Reina, who was anxious and worried at the side, took half a step back silently. She originally wanted to speak to persuade Jia Ying to stay, but she swallowed the words she almost blurted out.
She noticed that Xiang Qian seemed to have ulterior motives.
If there is really a contract for the cooperation between the two parties, judging from the text of the contract, the forward responsibility is limited to introducing Reina to the leader of the Inhumans; in other words, from the moment Reina and Jia Ying meet, both parties
The contract has been fulfilled.
As for whether Lena can complete the alien mutation, that is no longer within the constraints of the contract and has nothing to do with moving forward. Moreover, according to Lena's true intentions, she has anticipated the current situation and has the confidence to rely on her own eloquence.
Convince the leader of the Inhumans.
But Qianqian suddenly took over the responsibility and tried his best to promote the transaction outside the contract.
This playboy must have other plans; Lena thought silently.
On the other side, Xiang Xiang’s conversation with Jia Ying continues.
The female leader of the Inhumans responded coldly to the forward request: "What does your business reputation have to do with me? Besides, do you think you still have credibility with me?"
Qianqian was not overwhelmed by Jia Ying's aggressiveness. He slowly played a card that would remain for a long time: "Gordon."
"What?"
"How about we make a deal?" Qian Xiang suggested, "You help Lena complete the mutation, and I will release Gordon."
Jia Ying suddenly became furious: "You originally promised to release Gordon when everything was settled, and now you are using him - a person who should have been released - as a bargaining chip to blackmail me?"
"I know this is just a favor." Qiang Xiang said with a shameless face, "But I can do this favor now, or I can do it in a year and a half; no matter when I do it, it doesn't count as a breach of my promise."
Jia Ying was almost mad. She stared fiercely at Qianqian's face, as if she wanted to poke holes in it.
Lincoln and Lena were silent, not daring to say a word; Lena even thought of Coulson, who was tricked by Qiang in the same way less than two days ago.
When making a deal with the devil, you must carefully consider every word in the contract - these are the exact words Xiang Qiang said. Reina silently added a word after this sentence, asking herself to remember: this
The devil's name is James Zion.
Smiling forward, he waited for Jia Ying's response; he was confident that Jia Ying's answer would definitely satisfy him.
"After the mutation is completed, I will see Gordon back immediately. Moreover, you will take this woman out of the 'afterlife' and never let me see you again."
Jia Ying's answer was exactly as expected.
"I know you hate me, but Rena is your compatriot after all, isn't she? Is it necessary to treat her so harshly?"
"Because she is the person you brought, regardless of whether she is an Inhuman or not, we do not believe her. The 'afterlife' will only accept its own people, and those who are truly loyal to the Inhumans."
Qianqian asked quietly: "Are you loyal to the stranger, or are you loyal to you?"
"Who do you think I am? A feudal lord, or a cult leader?" Jia Ying retorted without thinking, "I have helped hundreds of strangers, and if you include their relatives, the number will expand to thousands; you
How many people do you think are left in the 'afterlife' today?"
"One hundred and seventeen, including Gordon who is currently in custody."
Jia Ying sneered: "I almost forgot, the Divine Spear Bureau has already investigated the 'afterlife' thoroughly."
"So what? In addition to registering household registration...of course, there are also foreigners like Mr. Campbell who need to obtain a temporary residence permit; apart from that, has life in the 'afterlife' changed from the past?"
"Aside from the addition of a few more soldiers patrolling the perimeter, a few more drones in the sky, and being monitored all the time, there are really no other changes."
Xiang Xiang said frankly: "That is a protective measure, not a surveillance measure. There are no cameras installed in the rooms in your village."
Jia Ying did not accept this rhetoric. She mocked: "Then should we thank you for this? But in my impression, the two words 'protection' and 'imprisonment' are often used together; how do I say it?
Come on, 'protective custody'?"
"You are so mean, my dear. You have to understand that people who are not bound by the law cannot be protected by the law."
Qiang Xiang seemed to have said the word "dear" inadvertently. This situation did not cause any misunderstanding, but Jia Ying, who had a guilty conscience, subconsciously glanced at her.
"Your accent is really similar to that of the Hydra gang!" Jia Ying said sternly, then suddenly quickened her pace; her footsteps sounded a bit panicky.
The small village came to an end in a few steps; Qiang Qian and Reina were taken to a house with no windows at all.
"Go in!" Jia Ying pointed to a dark room, "I hope you didn't eat too much for lunch and have digested it early. Otherwise, you will vomit all over your body."
The door to the room is closed, and the sealing material on the door frame can be seen.
"Huh?" When things came to an end, Reina felt a little panicked for the first time, especially this gloomy room, which looked like the "bathroom" used for final treatment of Jews in the NAZI concentration camp.
"I said that the mutation process would bring extreme pain, do you think I was joking?" Jia Ying said coldly, "It's still too late to regret it."
This sentence stimulated Reina, and she abandoned all distracting thoughts and walked in without hesitation.
The door was closed, isolating the inside and outside. Jia Ying looked at Reina inside through the observation window, walked forward and stood side by side with her.
Jia Ying scolded dissatisfiedly: "What are you still doing here?"
"I'm not worried. I brought her here, and I have to be responsible for her safety. I want to make sure that you really help her mutate, and don't poison her with poison gas." Qiang Xiang said half-jokingly.
Jia Ying had no choice: "The mutation and subsequent adaptation process will take at least several days. You can wait as long as you want!"
"I have a lot of patience." Xiang Xiang's tone sounded like he was angry with Jia Ying. In fact, his attention had already been highly concentrated, and he wanted to see all the details of Reina's mutation process in his eyes and engraved it in his soul.
in the field.
Although there are mutation materials stolen by Skye, as well as her oral memories of her own mutation process; neither forward nor the Divine Spear Bureau knows the technical details of mutation. This kind of experiment involving human body and genetic mutation is not a good idea.
A life is about to be lost, so you can't be too careful.
With Lena taking the initiative to be a guinea pig, Xiang Xiang has the opportunity to directly observe the mutation process; this is first-hand information for studying the mutant materials of the Inhumans, and it is also the main reason why Xiang Xiang takes the initiative to help Lena secure mutation opportunities.
Black mist spread around Rena's body, and soon, a layer of black fluid enveloped her, and it completely hardened within a few seconds after covering her entire body.
It looks like a black humanoid sculpture with rough lines.
"Is the current situation normal? These black things don't look like they are naturally occurring." Xiang Xiang asked secretly.
Jia Ying didn't answer, but asked about another thing: "Daisy left without saying goodbye a few days ago. Did she go to find you?"
"Yes. But she only stayed for two days and then left."
"Where have you gone?"
"He said he plans to take the civil service exam."
"What?"
"Civil service, national examination." He looked at her confused look and had to continue explaining; "I know she is an American national, but the director of the Divine Spear Bureau is very optimistic about her potential and gave her a guarantee.
Take the special recruitment route; as long as she passes the interview, she will be a glorious agent of the Spear Bureau and can serve the people in the future."
Having said this, Qiang Xiang reminded her specifically: "By the way, the civil service examination requires a political review; for the sake of Skye's future, you must not do anything that violates the law."
