Mysterio returned to the base. As soon as he entered the door, he opened his hands and heard the cheers he expected. He became even more proud, opened his arms and walked around the room a few times, and then took off his helmet.
"What did I say?!" He roared as if to vent his anger: "Stark has always been a fool, he has always been my loser! He is a damn thief! A despicable, dirty gutter.
The rat in the house! Only me! I am the real hero!"
After venting his anger, Mysterio breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, "Bring up the images of today's battle. I want to see how far the Stark Group has developed this technology."
Soon everyone in the team began to gather in front of the screen to watch the replay of today's battle. Sophia frowned slightly and said: "It seems that they have made a breakthrough in animation technology. The way the body of this sandstorm monster curls is more natural, almost...
I can’t see any animations of the same type, which means I’m not using a template.”
"What's weird about this?" Baker was still a little disdainful. He said: "The computing power of Stark Group is much stronger than ours. His rows and rows of expensive servers are not just for show, and
They also have a large number of employees who can render every action manually. It is normal for the animation to be more precise, so he pointed to this."
"But it does put pressure on us." Sophia said: "The more sophisticated the animation, the harder it is for us to debunk them."
"Why should we expose them?" Baker turned around and asked, "We only need to defeat them again and again. The more powerful and vicious they appear, the more I will look like a hero. Isn't that good?"
Sophia opened her mouth, but finally said: "I mean, it is very likely that they will also develop offensive illusions like us. Don't forget, drone technology..."
"Enough!" Baker roared: "There is no way I can lose to him!"
He took a deep breath and stood silently. The Chinese scientist came up and patted him on the shoulder. Baker stood up, glanced at the time and said: "I will find a way. No matter what, we have an advantage now."
Yes, they will not be reconciled to losing to me today. There will be a big show tomorrow night."
Baker returned to the hospital with the help of the drone. He gently opened the hospital window and found Schiller sleeping soundly with his back to him. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He lay back on the hospital bed and slept until dawn, but it was already early in the morning when he fell asleep. He was supposed to sleep until noon, but Schiller woke him up at dawn.
Beck was in a daze, and his mind was not very clear. It could be said that it was completely blank, but Schiller asked him to fill in the damn form again. Beck was afraid that he would find out what happened in the middle of the night, so he had to patiently fill out the form.
After he filled out the form, he saw Schiller pouring him a glass of water. He picked up the glass, but the next second he heard a pop and the glass fell to the ground.
"It's so hot!!" Baker cursed. He sat up from the bed, propped his upper body on his elbows, shook his arms, and then saw Schiller squatting down to pick up the pieces slowly.
"What's going on?" A tall agent pushed the door open a crack and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"It's okay." Schiller wrapped the fragments in paper and stood up. He glanced at Baker, but shook his head and said nothing.
The agent looked at Baker with an increasingly unkind look. He raised his eyebrows and said, "There will be inquiries in two hours. You'd better be honest and don't make any small moves, otherwise you will be finished."
Then he turned around and said helplessly to Schiller: "Thank you for your hard work, doctor, please hold on for a few more days."
Schiller nodded to him, and the door was closed.
"Damn it! Why did you pour me such hot water?!" Baker stared at Schiller with great dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you just see that I was pouring water out of the newly boiled hot water kettle?" Schiller looked at Baker and said helplessly: "Why did you reach for it?"
"But if you put it there, wouldn't it..."
"In the past few days, when I reminded you to drink water, I didn't say, 'Drink some water.' I didn't say anything today just to wait for the water to cool down."
Baker looked helplessly at the ceiling, took a long breath and lay back on the bed. The depression in his heart was indescribable. After thinking for a long time, he finally caught another loophole. He said: "Then why did you wake me up so early?"
?”
"Because SHIELD is very busy today, the agents have to come two hours early. They asked me to make sure you are awake enough. Don't I get up as early as you?"
After speaking, Schiller yawned and turned around tiredly to the preparation room. Beck always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
No one spoke, and Baker just lay on the bed. He got up too early today and started to feel sleepy as soon as he lay down. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Schiller woke him up again.
"You can't sleep, there are still questions." Schiller put an ice cube on Beck's head. Stung by the coldness, Beck suddenly woke up again, feeling that his brain was swollen and painful.
"You are abusing patients!"
"I'm just completing my work." Schiller acted very helpless, as if facing an unreasonable child. He said: "What brought you to this situation is your refusal to cooperate. At the same time, this is also what made me
The main culprit who ended up here."
"How do you want me to cooperate?!" Baker suddenly became very excited, as if he was letting out all the emotions he had been holding back for a long time, "I told you, I don't know what is going on!"
"I admit that I changed my identity to avoid the sky-high compensation, but I also relied on my own ability to pass the review for the space station position, didn't I? I also did a good job at my job, didn't I? Why do you put this
Am I treated like a criminal?”
"Because you are indeed a criminal." Natasha led a few agents to break down the door.
The only fresh-faced agent among the agents took two steps forward, showed his ID to Baker and said: "Senior FBI agent, you are now being arrested on 26 charges including stealing another person's identity, endangering national aerospace security, planning and carrying out terrorist attacks, etc.
Quentin Baker, come with us."
Baker's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, but Natasha crossed her arms and said: "Do you really think you have done your job well? Then who deleted the surveillance video after the photovoltaic integrated device was burned down?
of?"
Baker's mouth opened wide and he said: "I don't know! I..."
"You are the general person in charge of the software security engineering department. After the disaster, you left your post without permission, causing the situation to deteriorate further. Even if you were not responsible for this, you cannot escape the blame. If you cooperate with you to change your identity and sneak into the space station, you will definitely
You are not unjust at all for the crime of endangering space safety."
"I'm not, but I finally found the key information. If you don't believe me, you can ask Dr. Sophia. I took them to the control room..."
But at this time, the handcuffs were already on Baker's hands. Baker struggled wildly, but the agents didn't care about it at all. They pulled him up from the hospital bed and led him out the door.
Just as he was passing by Natasha, he saw a mocking smile on Natasha's face, and certain memory fragments flashed through Baker's mind.
He had met Natasha. When he was still working at the Stark Group, he had seen Natasha entering and leaving the laboratory, and he had even seen him and Tony Stark chatting happily.
She is from Stark! Baker thought in disbelief that the two of them are in the same group!
Yes, why did he forget that Stark is a big capitalist. He can bribe the FBI and SHIELD agents, and he can even bribe the judge and jury. As long as they insist that he has neglected his duty, he will definitely do it.
Being put in jail!
No, no, there is still a way. In panic, Baker thought, although Stark is rich, he is not without capital. He is the Mysterio. As long as he can find evidence to prove his innocence before going to court for trial,
Then there is still hope.
Baker turned to look at his cell phone.
As we all know, most countries have a bail system. For non-major crimes, after being arrested, the suspect only needs to pay a certain amount of bail and indicate that he will appear in court on time for trial, and then his personal freedom can be restored.
In the United States, if you pay enough bail, you can basically regain complete personal freedom. Many wealthy people can even travel around before appearing in court, with no restrictions on their activities. This is because of the existence of this system.
In other words, before actually appearing in court for trial, Baker has one final chance to make a comeback, which is to pay enough bail and use the time on bail to find evidence to prove his innocence.
If he doesn't pay bail and both the FBI and S.H.I.E.L.D. are watching him, it will be almost impossible to get out of the hospital to carry out his great superhero career, so he will inevitably choose to bail.
Sure enough, five hours after Baker was arrested, Schiller's cell phone rang, and Coulson's voice came over there, "We have some clues. Does the doctor want to come over and take a look?"
Schiller set out for SHIELD. After arriving at the office, Coulson and his subordinates were playing with the computers. When Schiller was seen, Coulson immediately came to greet him.
"It's yours, doctor, and you really have some clues." Colson led Schiller inside and said, "The person who paid the bond for him was Dr. Sofia Adela. The two of them are colleagues, at least on the surface.
."
"But according to the information, Dr. Adela's financial situation was not enough to pay Baker's bail, judging from her income flow, but she suddenly took out a large amount of money to bail Baker out.
."
"Have you found the source of the funds?"
"This is one of the clues." Colson came to sit down in front of a computer and said: "Two hours after Baker was arrested, an amount of funds from unknown sources suddenly appeared in Dr. Adela's account.
, the amount is very consistent with the required bail amount.”
Schiller narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Colson and said, "Who gave her the money?"
"This money has passed through several international accounts and we are now tracing it, but usually such money is black money and it is difficult to find the real source."
"Boss!" Suddenly one of the agents shouted and said: "Found it!"
Colson and Schiller immediately walked over, and Schiller leaned in front of the screen and discovered that the name of the place pointed to by the account's final source was "Hong Kong."
"What did you say?!" Baker looked at the agents outside in disbelief through the railing and said, "I've already paid the bail, why don't you let me go?!"
"Sorry, we found another case of yours." The agent outside said: "When you were working at the Stark Group, you damaged the equipment in the laboratory. For this, you need to bear US$2 million in compensation.
If you can't pay this part of the compensation, we can't just let you go."
"Why! I've already paid the bail!" Baker kept knocking on the railing and roaring outside, but the agent ignored him. After a long time, the agent said, "Don't forget,
Only suspects with minor cases who meet the bail conditions can be released on bail. If you have no criminal record, you do meet the bail conditions, but if it is linked to your previous bad behavior, you may not be eligible for bail."
Baker hammered the railing hard, but he knew what the agent said was true. Generally speaking, it was difficult to get bail for the second time in the palace, and even if it was possible, the bail required would be very high.
The amount of money involved in his previous case was as high as 2 million U.S. dollars. Even according to New York State regulations, based on the bail amount for the first time in prison, a bail of at least 200,000 U.S. dollars was required. Now he can't even get 20,000 U.S. dollars.
Not to mention $200,000.
"I want to see Sophia, I want to see Sophia!" Baker yelled, grabbing the railing.
