"Does this really work?" Liz looked at the stunned policewoman and asked cautiously.
"Of course! This is my most proud invention!" Mason said confidently as he put away a pen-like spotlight. At this time, there was no fear or nervousness before, but he seemed to be in high spirits.
It was only at this time that he seemed very confident.
"This kind of hypnotic light allows us to give her a certain degree of psychological suggestion, so that she will think that you are always in the room. As long as we come back here before your mother comes back, it will be fine."
Mason said confidently.
Liz took a deep breath and calmed down, she was just like her dad. Either don’t do it, once you decide, you will do it to the end!
Adrian was born in the quagmire of Hell's Kitchen. He hated crime, so after graduating from high school, he fled there with his girlfriend, and then lived law-abidingly and honestly for decades! But when despair struck, he decided to take advantage of the sidelines and do his best.
This is also the reason why he was able to spread the stall so big in a period of time.
Liz, like Adrian, either doesn't do it or does it to the end!
"let's go!"
Mason nodded.
He took out four small disks and threw them out. The four small disks automatically flew to the wall, and then a square purple light curtain appeared, and then they passed through the light curtain and disappeared. in the room.
That is a phase shifter. This thing can change the molecular structure of an object. To put it simply, it can make the object blur. However, it is not effective against living organisms.
This is the latest piece of Chitauri technology repaired by Mason. It was originally prepared to steal Chitauri parts from the Disaster Control Bureau. Their undertaking was forced to cease before the structure could be used.
Under the leadership of Mason, Liz quickly arrived at the subway station, and the two of them walked deeper along the tunnel of the subway station.
Liz was frightened by the dirty and dark environment here, so she couldn't help but ask.
"What are we doing here?"
"I don't have many tools at hand. However, your father once secretly built a laboratory outside, and there are things I need there." Mason felt very comfortable with the environment here. There were no strangers coming and going, and there were no strangers coming and going. No noise to make yourself nervous.
"it's here?"
"No...actually I don't know where it is." Mason said, "I've never been there. It's managed by rat trappers."
"Ratcatcher?" Liz heard this name for the first time: "Is there anyone who specializes in catching rats?"
"Hmm...I don't know, maybe it's a code name or something?"
The two walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped at a maintenance channel.
"Okay, this is it." Mason paused.
Liz felt like she was suffocating.
The air here is not that good. Fortunately, she is a cheerleader and has good physical fitness, otherwise she would have fallen down long ago.
Liz looked around. There was nothing but trash and all kinds of filth.
But don't wait for her to ask.
Mason took out a small whistle.
Drop~~~~~~!
The sound of the whistle is not loud, but it is very sharp, just like the sound of fingernails scraping a blackboard, which makes the ears of those who listen to it itch.
But nothing happened.
"What's wrong?" Liz waited for a long time and found that nothing happened, and she was a little anxious.
"I don't know either. I did it according to the method taught by Ed. I guess it will have to wait." Mason said uncertainly.
Five minutes passed like this.
Suddenly the two heard a burst of creaking sounds.
The two looked up and found a big rat watching them on a cable.
Liz is very afraid of mice, but surprisingly, she is not very afraid of this mouse.
Maybe it's the rat that... looks smart.
Its big eyes sparkled with intelligence.
Of course, more importantly, he also wore a small vest.
Zhizhi!
Seeing how stupid they were, the mouse barked again.
At the same time, he turned around and looked back at them, waving his little paws continuously.
"It...is asking us to follow it?" Liz asked softly.
"Probably..." Mason wasn't sure, but from the name "Ratcatcher", one could tell that this person should always hang out with rats.
Zhizhi!
The mouse began to urge.
Faced with this situation, Liz and Mason could only bite the bullet and follow along.
They passed through an iron gate next to the maintenance passage, and then passed through several passages in succession before they saw the person they were looking for in a shaft.
A girl with quite a personality.
She has stylish blue hair, with two long braids hanging behind her head. Her face is very white and has an abnormal feeling. Her purple eye shadow and lipstick make her look dangerous and wild. . In terms of clothing, she also looks very different. She wears a small vest with a big leather jacket, hot pants with purple stockings, and a pair of big long boots, which is both playful and mysterious.
If Kai were here, he would definitely know this girl.
Case!
That genius girl who hangs out with rats. The girl who looks so much like Angelina Jolie, the last time Kai saw her, she was bare-faced... now she's much more glamorous.
"Who are you? Where's Adrian?"
When Keith saw two unknown people, he immediately put his hands on his waist.
There was an exaggeratedly shaped firearm there.
It doesn’t look like human technology at first glance.
Mason quickly raised his hand, he knew that thing, the Chitauri energy gun. A weapon that fires a blade of purple energy light that has cutting properties, and can also fire an explosive energy beam. He made it himself, and it was very powerful. So far, he had only made one like this, because Chitauri energy cores that meet the requirements are very rare, and the energy cores on ordinary weapons are simply not worthy of this one.
"My name is Mason, and I'm Ed's friend. She's Liz, Ed's daughter!"
Mason was so frightened that he quickly told everything...
"Liz..." Keith had obviously heard of Liz's name. She took out a flashlight and shined a light on Liz: "Hmm... quite similar."
Only then did Case's hands leave his waist.
Mason breathed a sigh of relief, which also made him sick.
He became timid again, looking around as if he wanted to run away at any moment. In fact, he just wanted to find a place to hide himself.
As soon as Liz saw Mason like this, she knew she couldn't count on him.
So Liz plucked up the courage and asked, "Do you know me?"
"Well, Adrian showed me a picture of you, but it was when you were a child." Case nodded.
She and Ed met a few years ago, and they were actually peers.
They are all old trash.
She goes to steal parts and is discovered by Adrian.
But instead of catching her, Adrian gave her something. And she will also sell some of the things she transformed to Adrian.
Adrian would even switch to selling arms. She had a share of the credit for broadening Adrian's horizons.
Since then, the two have become familiar with each other.
Adrian even thought about adopting Case.
But Case refused.
But the relationship between the two is indeed very good.
"Where is Adrian? Why are you here? I told Adrian that he can only come to see me."
Case obviously didn't know what was going on outside.
At least less sensitive.
"Dad...Dad is dead. He was killed!" Liz said with tears.
Case was stunned.
…
"This is Adrian's secret laboratory." The rebellious girl took Liz and the others to a very secret underground laboratory: "I built the network, water and electricity here myself. It is absolutely safe."
Adrian has always been very crisis-conscious and prepared for everything. Unfortunately... he didn't expect the disaster to come so quickly!
Mason was alive now. He saw many things he was familiar with.
The laboratory is very large, not necessarily smaller than the previous factory.
It contains a lot of Chitauri technology parts.
Most of this part is actually Case's property.
"Keith...what do you do?" Liz finally couldn't help but asked this question out of curiosity.
"Hmph! I am the king of the sewers, the master of all rats! The best detective in the underground world! The best thief in New York! And the strongest scientist in the world!
! "
Case proudly reported a list of titles, all of which were self-proclaimed.
But Case feels he is definitely qualified for these titles.
"Pfft!" This was the first time Liz smiled after learning that Adrian had been killed.
I have to say that Keith's confidence is very contagious.
"Wow! This is it! This is it!" Mason suddenly shouted.
Liz looked over and found a mecha with elder wings hanging there!
"This is the Vulture 2.0 I designed!" Case came to the mecha and said proudly.
"Did you design it?" Mason turned his head angrily: "No! The Vulture Mecha is the masterpiece of Ed and I! You are just imitating it!"
This touches on Mason's pain point.
People engaged in scientific research are very sensitive to this aspect, and Mason is especially sensitive.
"Hmph! Look clearly! Except for the appearance! This mecha is completely different from the previous Vulture! I loaded it with energy shields and anti-gravity aircraft. Yours requires jet engines. The flight system has long been outdated! And your exoskeleton power armor is so low that it explodes, it looks like a product of World War II! I feel embarrassed when I see this thing!"
Mason was immediately unconvinced, and the two had a heated debate about various issues with the mecha.
Liz didn't quite understand.
But she could tell that Mason was actually happy, and Case didn't really have a life, and they really loved what they were doing.
Liz had learned from their quarrel that her father also had a mecha.
Now seeing this mecha, Liz was filled with emotion.
But it was precisely after seeing this that Liz accepted one thing.
That means his father is a bad guy!
Liz didn’t know that what she said to Peter couldn’t stand scrutiny?
Know!
But I just don’t want to face reality.
Her father was dead, and she didn't want to let the bad reputation still fall on him.
But wrong is wrong.
His father is an illegal arms dealer!
But soon, Liz adjusted her mentality.
so what?
Could it be that as a daughter, she could just forget him?
cannot!
If her father was caught by the police, she would have nothing to say. Even if he was beaten to death by the police, she could slowly accept the reality.
But now he is murdered!
And he was subjected to inhuman torture before his death!
Liz couldn't turn a blind eye to this.
"Dad...I will avenge you!"
In Liz's mind, the police will not seek revenge for a criminal, so she can only do it herself!
"Kes...this mecha...can I wear it?"
The two people who were arguing stopped.
"Okay." Case nodded.
Mason said worriedly: "Liz... we just need to find those people and notify the police! You don't have to..."
"Hmph! Coward!"
Keith is not a good boy. She is very supportive of Liz’s idea. She wants to avenge herself!
Even if Liz refuses, she will seek justice for Adrian!
Adrian is her friend!
"This is not a question of whether you are timid or not. Ed will not be like Liz! He just wants her to grow up happily!"
"I've grown up!" Liz said with firm eyes. At this moment, her naivety and ignorance were abandoned. She was no longer a stupid girl who knew nothing. "And if I don't avenge my father, I will never be happy."
"But...but..." Mason was stupid and thought for a long time before saying: "What should I do with Doris? Do you still want your mother to be sad?"
Liz turned to look at Mason: "Then you should help me, Uncle Mason!"
Mason grinned, he didn't know what to say.
"Hmph! Don't worry! As long as I, Sister Keyes, are here to help you, nothing will happen to you!"
Liz: "Thank you, Case!"
…
"I can't believe it! My daughter disappeared right under your noses!" Doris almost collapsed.
Liz is missing!
The police immediately sent a large number of police officers to the hotel and sealed off the entire hotel.
People were lost to the police.
At this time, Doris had completely abandoned the weakness of a housewife. Like a tiger, she growled filial piety to the high-ranking police officers who came to negotiate.
On the other side, Liz and Mason looked at each other.
They... lost track of time. You can't blame them, they didn't expect that the laboratory would be so far away. In addition, I was so excited that I didn’t pay attention to the time. By the time I got back to the hotel, it was already evening!
Now they are outside the hotel... but they are a little overwhelmed by the large number of police officers.
"What now?" Mason asked nervously.
Liz gritted her teeth, how could she know.
"I'm going to see my mother." Liz couldn't worry about her mother.
"Wait a minute!" Keith stopped her: "How are you going to explain your running away from the hotel?"
"I... just said that I sneaked out while they were not paying attention!"
"And avoided all the cameras?" Case said.
"this……"
"Or are you planning to expose Mason?"
Mason is a core member of the arms group. Once exposed, he will only stay in prison for the rest of his life.
Mason was even more nervous.
He doesn't want to go to jail.
Liz looked at Mason and felt that she could not betray her Uncle Mason.
"What should we do?"
Keith put his arm around Liz's shoulders: "My place is very big! And if you plan to take revenge, my place can be used as a base! There is no place more secluded than there! No one will guess that you are hiding underground!"
"But my mother...what should I do?"
"Well, it's okay. We'll notify her secretly! It's best to rescue her together." Keith was just watching the fun and didn't mind the trouble!
Liz gritted her teeth and thought for a long time: "Let's go back downstairs!"
Mason breathed a sigh of relief.
No more jail time.
"Then Doris' side..."
But Mason was still worried.
"I...I'll find a way." Liz walked to the phone booth nearby.
Then she called Peter. She couldn't speak directly to her mother because that would immediately alert the police.
