Chapter 120 The strange audio that controls everyone in New York

"what's up?"

Looking at Scott who was somewhat expectant but also a little overwhelmed, Lynn asked curiously.

After looking around and making sure there was no one else around, Scott walked up to Lynn and said, "I want to propose to Jean in three days."

"what?"

Before Lin En could speak, Tony Stark on the side was the first to say in surprise: "Man, how desperate are you that you actually want to get married?"

Scott felt helpless as he watched Tony blurt out his words unconsciously, while Steve beside him shook his head: "Tony."

"Uh...I was just expressing my surprise!"

Spreading his hands, Tony Stark said to Scott: "So where are you going to propose to Jean Grey?"

"I want to propose to Jean inside the Illuminati base."

Looking at the three of them, Scott scratched his head. "My original idea was to go to the Mutant Academy. After all, it's a place that has special meaning to me, Jean, and even to many mutants."

"But then I thought about it and decided to propose inside the base because I found that Jean seemed to like the Illuminati more than the Mutant Academy!"

Seeing Scott's serious look, Lynn smiled and said, "Of course no problem, this is a good thing. This way, if you need anything, you can always ask, Scott, we will help you!"

"That's right!"

As Lin En finished speaking, Tony Stark beside him joined in the fun and said, "Just tell me if you need anything. Setting up the venue? I'll get it ready right away. Oh, and the ring for the proposal."

"I've prepared this!"

Seeing that Tony looked like he was even going to help prepare the ring, Scott said quickly.

"Tsk, this is a big deal, so we need to discuss it carefully. Anyway, we have nothing else to do right now, let's go and discuss the process of proposing!"

As he spoke, Tony Stark excitedly pulled Scott to the side.

Seeing this, Steve turned to Lynn and said, "This is the first time I've seen Tony so excited. Scott came here to ask for your help, but he took him away!"

Hearing Steve say this, Lynn laughed and said, "Maybe Tony is just rehearsing."

"dress rehearsal?"

"Yes, last time we were drinking, he was drunk and pulled my arm, constantly nagging me about wanting to propose to Pepper, but he was a little afraid of marriage."

"After he sobered up, this guy flatly denied proposing!"

At this point, Lynn spread her hands and said, "So Scott wants to propose, and this makes Tony's mind active again."

"By the way, are you sure you don't want to find a girlfriend? I heard from Natasha that the SHIELD agent named Sharon Carter is pursuing you!"

At the same time, in a New York apartment.

"Snapped!"

A cup was smashed to the ground and shattered. The vampire looked at his men and said angrily, "In just one week, nine people who had just entered New York were arrested by the FBI!"

"Now even the channels have been destroyed by the FBI. Is this what you call foolproof?"

Seeing the angry look of the vampire in front of him, the subordinate trembled for a moment, and then hurriedly explained: "Count Delas, I really didn't expect that even our smuggling channels were controlled by the FBI. This is my mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Seeing his men trembling with fear, the vampire Count Delas snorted coldly, "You indeed deserve to be punished. If darkness cannot fall because they cannot enter New York, then you will be the greatest sinner of the vampire race!"

Hearing Count De Las's words, the subordinate immediately knelt on the ground: "Count, I will find another way right now to ensure that they can enter New York smoothly."

"never mind!"

Waving his hand, Earl Delas turned his head to look at the thick curtains and said, "I didn't expect Lynn Hall to have such a strong control over New York. If it weren't for that master's request, the Darkness Ceremony would have to be held in New York."

"Then darkness would have returned to this world long ago!"

Having said that, Count De Las turned back to his seat and said, "Now, we can't send people to New York by our own strength."

Hearing what Count Delas said, his subordinates hurriedly asked: "Count, should we ask other vampires for help? As far as I know, the Nathaniel family is in Los Angeles. If they..."

"Nathaniel? Humph!"

Hearing about the Nathaniel family, Count Delas's eyes flashed with disdain: "As a noble vampire, you actually secretly defected to humans. Such scum do not deserve our trust at all!"

Having said that, Count Delas waved his hand and signaled his men to leave.

After his men left, Count Delas picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

Three days later, inside the Illuminati base!
"Why is the hall decorated? Is something going to happen?"

Looking at the Illuminati hall decorated in a very festive manner, Gwen asked curiously while holding Lynn's arm.

"Scott wants to propose to Jean here today, so..."

"Proposal?"

As soon as the words came out, Lin En covered his mouth.

Gwen chuckled when she realized what was happening, then looked at Lynn and whispered, "Oh my God, I didn't expect Scott to propose to Jean here. I've never seen a proposal before!"

"But then again, who arranged this place? Why does it feel a little bit..."

Seeing Gwen at a loss for words, Lynn laughed and said, "Tacky? That's Tony's taste!"

"hey-hey!"

Gwen chuckled and said excitedly, "I just don't know if Jean will accept Scott's proposal. I heard from Ororo that Jean and Scott have been together on and off for many years, but I think she will say yes!"

aside.

Looking at Gwen holding Lynn's arm and whispering intimately, Laura turned her head to look at her best friend Polaris, and then glanced at Wanda's face.

These two people have known each other for less than two months, but they have become best friends.

It felt like I had become the third party.

Maybe it was because Wanda, who was following Lin En at this moment, was just like how Luna and I were following Lin En back then?
Is that why Lorna feels a sense of familiarity with Wanda?

Thinking of this, Laura shook her head.

It shouldn't be like this!

Following their gaze, I looked forward and saw that they were both looking at Gwen with some envy.

Laura suddenly understood!
So, these two people have improper thoughts about Lin En, so
"I always feel like you're thinking about something bad!"

As if sensing something, Luna turned her head and looked at Laura.

"Hey, how come?"

Laura stepped forward and took Luna's arm, she smiled, but her eyes were full of excitement!

After a while.

"Qin will be back soon!"

Coming to Lynn, Tony Stark looked at Lynn and asked excitedly.

"It's almost time, but today's protagonist is Scott. Why are you so excited? Huh? You're wearing a new suit? You even changed the brand of perfume?"

Hearing Lynn say this, Steve and Scott also looked at Tony Stark.

Peter Parker on the side asked curiously: "Mr. Stark, you don't want to..."

Seeing several people looking at him with suspicious eyes, Tony could only spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I just want to learn from the experience. After all, watching it live is much more realistic than those plots in the movies!"

"So, you're finally going to propose to Pepper?"

"Well, I'm thinking about it!"

"cut!"

Seeing everyone shouting "tsk" at him, Tony Stark said quickly, "Everyone, Scott is the protagonist today. We can't steal his limelight!"

As the two were talking, Ororo rushed into the base at a rapid speed: "Everyone, Qin will be back soon!"

After hearing Ororo's tip-off, Scott took a deep breath, then took the flowers from Steve and took out the ring box from his pocket.

outside.

When she arrived at the Illuminati base, Jean Grey always felt that something was wrong.

I don't know why, but my heart is beating especially fast today.

I turned my head and looked towards Manhattan. It seemed that there was something unusual there that was attracting me.

After thinking about it, Jean Grey shook her head. It must be her illusion!
As I walked into the Illuminati base and entered the hall, I saw members of the Illuminati standing there in two rows with smiles on their faces, as if they were welcoming me.

Scott walked towards her step by step with flowers in his hands, and then knelt on one knee one meter away from her.

"Qin, ever since we've been together, I... uh... I just want that..."

Looking at Scott kneeling on one knee, I was so excited that I didn't know what to say.

The members of the Illuminati were all cheering him on in their hearts at this moment.

"I just feel that I want to"

Scott found that he couldn't say the words no matter what he said, and he wanted to slap himself.

"Don't be nervous, Scott!"

"Come on, speak up!"

"Oh my god..Come on Scott!"

Listening to the encouragement from the Illuminati members, Scott took a deep breath and took out the ring he had prepared in advance: "Jin, are you willing?"

Before Scott could finish, the next second, a series of shrill sounds suddenly rang out over New York, followed by the Illuminati's alarms blaring wildly! The sudden alarm interrupted Scott's proposal, and for a moment, no one knew what was happening.

Almost at the same time, Lynn's spider sense issued a crazy warning, as if telling Lynn that something major had happened outside.

Gwen and Peter Parker also looked outside at the same time as Lynn.

"Lin En, something big must have happened outside. I'm going out now."

Peter Parker was about to go out to take a look when he was stopped by Lin En: "Don't rush out. It's not clear what's going on outside yet."

Then, Lin En said directly to Friday, "Friday, turn on the surveillance cameras in the entire city!"

As Lynn's order was given, surveillance footage of various areas in New York was immediately displayed on the large screen in the Illuminati base.

In the surveillance footage, countless people on the street seemed to have a hysterical attack at the same time, with their eyes blankly moving towards the same direction.

Some people at the forks in the road and in the alleys also walked out with lifeless eyes, and slowly joined the crowd and moved forward together.

Countless cars on the street collided with each other, causing chain reactions, but the group of people on the street continued to move forward as if they saw nothing.

Even those who were hit by the car were dragging their injured bodies and crawling forward!

"What the hell!"

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions were filled with surprise, and Tony Stark couldn't help but swear.

"On Friday, we will connect all surveillance cameras in New York, including those in Queens and Brooklyn, to analyze the exact destination of this group of pedestrians!"

Upon hearing Lynn's order, Friday instantly displayed the floor plan of New York in the form of a holographic projection.

"Sir, according to the surveillance footage, the pedestrian stopped outside a 17-story building in Manhattan. The building's location matches the direction pedestrians are traveling in various areas of New York!"

"And according to surveillance video and audio analysis, some kind of music is playing in this 17-story building!"

When the surveillance footage outside the building mentioned on Friday was enlarged, it was clearly seen that the street outside the building was full of people, and countless people were moving towards the building like a tide!

"FUXX, I don't know exactly what happened, but I think it has something to do with the music playing in this building!"

After putting on his armor, Tony Stark turned to look at Lynn and said, "I'll go take a look first!"

"and many more."

He stopped Tony from acting rashly and looked at the pedestrians walking aimlessly in various areas of New York. Even the military, NYPD, and government lawmakers were among the crowd.

Lin En turned to look at Professor X: "Professor, could this concert be related to some kind of mind control ability?"

In response to Lin En's question, Professor X nodded solemnly and said, "It's very likely that I can use the brainwave enhancer to find mutants in any corner of the earth."

"I can also use my telepathic abilities to control them. The music playing in that building is, I guess, similar to my brainwave enhancer."

"But they should be converting special frequency bands into musical notes, thereby connecting with ordinary people's brain waves, and then controlling these people to go to this building!"

At this point, Professor X looked at Lin En and said, "Anyone who can achieve this must not only possess absolute mind control, but also understand and utilize this ability to the utmost."

"At least, even I can't fully achieve this at the moment!"

Hearing Professor X's words, Steve frowned and said, "So what about your sister Cassandra from the multiverse?"

"I don't know!"

In response to Steve's question, Professor X shook his head: "But one thing is certain, she is much stronger than me!"

As she was speaking, Gwen came over and said to Lin En, "I just called my parents. Dad is at the police station, and the people inside the police station are not under control. Mom is at home, and she is also not under the control of the music."

"And I contacted a few classmates who live in Manhattan. Although they also heard the music, they did not lose consciousness and go to the building!"

After hearing what Gwen said, Lin En looked at everyone and said, "In other words, the people who were in the room when the music started, even if they heard the music, were not controlled. Only those who appeared on the street were controlled!"

"Send a text message to every cell phone in New York City on Friday, telling them to stay home and don't leave!"

"Yes, sir!"

After hearing Lynn's order, Friday took action immediately!
"Thank goodness Pepper isn't in New York!"

Tony, who had just finished talking to Pepper, breathed a sigh of relief. He then looked at Lynn and said, "Lynn, if we leave the Illuminati base now, will this music control our brains?"

"I don't know, but I better give it a try!"

As they said that, everyone turned their eyes to Peter Parker!
"Uh"

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Peter Parker spread his hands and then shot out spider silk to stick to a pillar in the base hall.

At the same time, wrap the spider silk around yourself.

When they arrived at the gate of the base, Peter Parker looked back at everyone and said, "If I get brainwashed by that music, you must pull me out in time..."

"Don't worry, Spider-Boy, if you let the music take over, I'll pull you back!"

Hearing Tony's somewhat unreliable tone, Peter Parker set his sights on Lynn.

After seeing Lynn nod, Peter Parker took a deep breath, then pushed the door of the base open a crack, and then carefully stretched his foot out.

Seeing Peter's slow movements, everyone did not urge him, but just kept their eyes on him.

When Peter was standing outside, his whole body trembled instantly. He turned around quickly and was about to come back, but the next second he froze in place.

Then he prepared to walk outside as if out of control.

Seeing this, Lin En pulled him back immediately using the spider silk.

The moment he entered the Illuminati base, Peter Parker shuddered all over. He then looked at everyone and said, "Oh my God, this is terrifying. As soon as I walked outside, my spider sense started to frantically warn me, but before I could even come back, I felt like I had lost consciousness and couldn't control my body."

"And the moment you pulled me back, I felt like I was in some kind of fantasy world. It was so terrifying!"

Hearing Peter's somewhat surprised tone, Lynn signaled Friday to close the base gate, then looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, it seems that going out directly won't work. We have to think of other ways!"

Then, Lin En said, “On Friday, we’ll intercept the audio and see if we can find a way to decipher it!”

Following Lynn's instructions, Friday intercepted the audio and began to decipher it.

Tony Stark stood beside Lynn and said, "Don't you think it's strange? People on the street are controlled when they hear the music, but those hiding in the room are fine. This shouldn't be right!"

Hearing Tony's doubts, Lynn stood in front of the big screen, watching the crowds of people on the street moving towards Manhattan like zombies, and said, "It's really strange."

"And New York is so big, it stands to reason that the music can't reach every corner of New York, but I just asked Friday to turn on the surveillance."

"I discovered that this situation occurred not only in the five boroughs, but also in some counties and even some towns around New York!"

As he spoke, Lynn slid the holographic projection in front of him, and soon a town appeared in front of Tony.

"This is a small town called Lankar under the jurisdiction of Oswego. I once conducted an investigation here with Sean and Alice."

"Although this town has been destroyed, the residents of the surrounding towns are also walking towards Manhattan with their eyes wide open."

"You know, this place is a long way from Manhattan."

"Lankar?"

Hearing Lin En mention the name, Tony Stark suddenly spoke up, "Is that the town where you asked me to wear the armor to help you attract the attention of the internet and the media, share the pressure of public opinion, and ultimately determine that it was a Russian biochemical virus, and then it was destroyed by the Russian missiles?"

When mentioning this name, Tony Stark still has a deep impression.

After all, that was the first time he officially appeared in front of the media wearing armor to attract people's attention.

"That's right!"

Looking at the people walking in one direction in the video, Lin En nodded and said, "It's certain that the music definitely can't reach the people around Karan, but you can also see that these people are also under control."

"So, I think besides music, there must be other media that can control people's minds!"

"Could it be airborne or something, like that virus that spreads?"

“Not sure, but we can try!”

Hearing what Lynn said, Tony Stark once again looked at Peter Parker standing beside him!

"still me?"

Looking at Tony's gaze, Peter Parker pointed at his nose in surprise.

After seeing the looks of the others, Peter Parker shrugged: "Okay, don't forget to pull me back!"

A few minutes later.

After watching Peter Parker, who was wearing earplugs to make sure he couldn't hear any sound, walk out of the Illuminati base, but was controlled again, everyone pulled him back and put a gas mask on him again.

But even though Peter was fully armed with earplugs and a gas mask, he was still controlled seconds after stepping out of the Illuminati base.

Pulling Peter back, Tony Stark looked at everyone and said, "It's obvious that the music played in that building is to divert our attention."

"And we still don't know the real way to control people's minds."

At this point, Tony Stark put on his armor and looked at Lin En and said, "Lin En, let me see if I can resist this unknown method in the armor. We can't keep waiting like this until we know what conspiracy that guy in the dark has."

Hearing Tony say this, Lynn nodded: "If something goes wrong, I will pull you back immediately!"

As soon as Lynn finished speaking, Gwen used the spider silk shooter to directly wrap around Tony's armor.

After closing his visor, Tony Stark took a deep breath and then stepped out of the gate of the Illuminati base.

When Tony came outside wearing his armor, his whole body froze the next second.

Then he quickly turned around and raised his hand, aiming the palm energy cannon at everyone.

Seeing this scene, Jean Grey immediately released energy to protect everyone.

"bang"

The energy released by the armor hit the energy shield created by Jean Grey and began to dissipate, and Lynn immediately pulled the spider silk to pull Tony back.
