Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 181 Another one comes

"Ability broker?"

In a secret trading market deep in an underground bar in Gotham City, Terry Pickles, who found a small bench and sat in the corner to light a cigarette, was suddenly stunned.

In his mind, Bai shared the news he had received from Tony Stark with some melancholy.

"Yes, regarding this part, I don't remember seeing any related plots in my mind. The ability brokers we know in our memory are either villains in comics or terrorist organizations in TV series, but in my case In this world, it is actually a long-standing profession?”

At first Terry White did not take Tony's advice to heart, but Stark seemed to see that Terry White did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all, and gave Terry White a simple and easy-to-understand message before leaving the charity gala. simile.

"Just like the X-product trade in the Golden Triangle, it's not just a business that one or two capable gangsters can pull off."

Terry Bai counted on his fingers.

"Organizers, developers, technical staff, sales channels, information channels, market management, investors... everything is filled with people from all walks of life around the world, so that we can build an X on the scale of the Golden Triangle. Good business."

"Just the investors and protective umbrellas involved in a dozen or so links can involve as many as seven or eight top military and political leaders in the country."

Stark sneered at Terry Bai.

“And the scope of interests that the ability broker business can involve is ten times or even hundreds of times that of Golden Triangle X-level products.

No one can refuse the pleasure brought by X products, just like no one can refuse the sense of superiority brought by possessing superpowers that transcends human status and class identification. "

Do you think you're just trying to investigate a gang or terrorist organization? No, you are against more than one-seventh of the powerful people in the world, and they only need to move their fingers to wipe out my Stark Group. "

Terry Pickles lowered his head. He could feel Bai's uneasiness. After all, those evil gods hiding here and there were enough to give them a headache.

If you want to get involved in this kind of thing, let alone Bai, world-class organizations like SHIELD and Hydra may not dare to act rashly.

Oh no, Hydra is very likely to be involved in the power broker business, while SHIELD may be kept in the dark.

"You wait a moment, let me think about it."

Black closed his eyes and began to think quietly about the information Bai brought.

He could feel that the actual situation might not be as troublesome as Stark described.

"This is not right, Bai. If the business of ability brokers is really large-scale and has a long history, then it will not lack the market at all. After all, those powerful people and the world's richest people will definitely be the first customers to meet their needs. How can it sink into the market?" To someone like Ziren?"

"And according to Ziren, those people took the initiative to find him, but before Ziren targeted Jessica, he spent most of his time hiding his identity and living like a rat in the sewer..."

Bai raised his head, and after Hei's prompting, he immediately thought of the key.

"Yes, Zi Ren admitted that before undergoing that surgery, the most he could do was skin contact and close air transmission control, and his mutated skin color made it necessary for him to hide himself deep into Jane's mind. This The accuracy of the sinking market is so abnormal.”

Black nodded and continued to add.

"Let's look at the setting of Zi Ren. In most settings, his mind control ability comes from the physiological control of neurotoxins and hormones. Only in a few special publications and animations, does it rise to the level of mental control. The height of control.”

Bai's thinking speed began to keep up with Black's, and the two of them seemed to be thinking using the same brain.

"The acceptable surgery allowed him to maintain his original setting while also completing his mental manipulation abilities in the special issue. Unless, like us, we have seen the world from outside the fourth wall, Otherwise, even if the ability broker wants to enhance Purple Man, he should extend it based on his inherent physiological abilities of neurotoxins and hormones. It is easier to enhance existing abilities and expand new abilities no matter how you think about it. .”

As soon as Bai finished speaking, Black immediately picked up.

"Even if the existence of the ability broker is true, the guys who come into contact with the Purple Man are at most the lowest level of the business, but it is possible that this group of people, or one of the leaders among them, has obtained some information about the plot characters. "

Finally, Bai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"So I don't need to fight against the 'ability broker'. I just need to identify and find the guy who is suspected of having obtained the 'plot character information'. If he really exists -" Hei's eyes showed ruthlessness: "Then Kill him quietly, the ability broker will not waste resources investigating the death of a low-level person."

Then Black glanced at White subconsciously.

"If you can't do anything, you can let me do it."

"No need, I'm not that pedantic yet."

Bai, who had solved a major problem on his mind, showed a slightly more relaxed expression. He curiously observed the dark corner where Black was squatting through Terry Pickles' perspective.

"Are you hiding in a place like this to be a magician?"

"No, I am squatting on a very unpopular plot character. He is likely to produce a special prop. According to the information we have obtained before, that prop has a high probability of being transformed into an accessory that can counteract mind control. "

Bai showed an exaggerated and artificially moved expression.

"...That's so thoughtful, Hei. Really, if we hadn't come from the same family and were both men, I would have wanted to marry you."

Hei frowned, his eyes full of disgust and disgust.

"I'm going to vomit."

Just as the two of them were talking about nothing, a black figure in a robe quietly approached the intersection of the alley where Terry Pickles was guarding.

Bai immediately shut up. He was not very familiar with the customs and customs of Gotham City. When dealing with the locals here, he had to take advantage of himself.

The mysterious figure completely hid his face in his hood. He looked around to see if anyone was following or ambushing him, and then walked towards Terry.

"You were the one who posted the for-sale information in the Deli neighborhood?"

Terry raised his head coldly from the darkness, looked at the visitor up and down, and nodded casually.

The mysterious man's breathing became a little faster, and it was obvious that the items Terry had for sale were exactly what he needed urgently.

"A pair of kidneys and a heart from a mind-controlled superhuman?"

Terry crossed his arms, with some disdain for the visitor in his expression.

"Are you actually a rookie who doesn't understand the rules? The trading principle of Deli Street is that you can only raise one question at most, and this is already the second time."

The mysterious man was silent, and then made an unexpected move.

He reached out and took off the hood that covered his face, revealing a strange mask with red and white contrasting colors. Between the two holes reserved for the eyes were eyes full of greed and viciousness.

"Now, take me to where the things are hidden, give them to me, and then go back to this alley and bang yourself against the wall."

Terry was stunned.

Then his eyes revealed a look of pity for the first time.

In the spiritual world, Black looked at the debuff that had not yet had time to form a complete icon and was broken and reorganized into a buff effect that enhanced the thinking state, and then glanced at the expressionless White.

"I don't know if it's a lucky or unfortunate coincidence, but this guy seems to have hit you at gunpoint - forced buying and selling are indeed not completely prohibited in the Deli neighborhood, but fools like that usually pay the price. Do you want to take action?"

Bai said nothing and directly took over control of Terry Pickles' body.
