So when Shen You came out of Waller's office, he had transformed himself, now bearing the halo of being the Justice League's liaison and the person in charge of the anti-Ultraman project.
This undercover journey is getting more and more surreal. Sometimes Shen You feels like he's unknowingly jumped onto a dump truck without brakes, sparks flying all the way, and he has no idea where it's going to drift off to.
But it's also a good thing. Whether it's monitoring the Justice League or opposing Ultraman, someone has to be responsible for these tasks anyway, so it's better to do it himself and ensure that everything is under his control.
Conversely, if necessary, even the Justice League and themselves could cooperate with "Agent Mike Williams" to stage a performance, and when the situation allows, give Agent Williams more credits and continue his legendary career.
With a solid resume, it's not impossible that one day "Waller can sit in the director's position, and so can our legendary captain."
This is even more fantastical. But you have to have dreams, who knows?
That evening, Agent Mike Williams, who was officially appointed as the contact person, gave his first press conference interview. And let's just say the reporters at the conference were surprisingly enthusiastic.
Since the Justice League was formed and defeated the god of Apocalypse, they have become like national celebrities, no, even more exaggerated, with many people even regarding them as gods.
In their eyes, God has no daily life, no superfluous emotions or desires. They are perfect, never make mistakes, save the world, give people hope, and never fail.
This is evident from the questions these reporters asked.
"The Justice League saved the world again! They did what you couldn't."
"Many people are wondering, sir. The Sky Eye Society wastes a lot of taxpayers' money, but it never gets the job done, does it? So why not just disband it and leave the work to the Justice League?"
Shen You looked at the aggressive, fat reporter and instantly felt amused.
What a coincidence, that's what I was thinking too. If you can talk, then talk more.
But outwardly, he maintained a stern expression and reiterated: "The Sky Eye is fully capable of handling the crisis; we will also assist the Justice League."
"Many people are saying that the government has never been able to handle the problems well." Someone else exclaimed, "Now the public feels that if the Justice League were to do the government's job, they could definitely do everything right!"
Because they are the Justice League, they never fail!
"You're right! Damn it, maybe my unemployed nephew will finally get a job!"
"They can eliminate the fiscal deficit!"
"They won't be like today's politicians, spouting lies and scheming against each other. They're friends who can talk about anything, and they can definitely fix everything!"
"Is it possible for the Heavenly Eye to contact Ultraman? If he could become president and the Justice League could form a parliament, I bet everything would be fine!"
Shen You: "."
To be honest, this was something he hadn't expected. But if you browse the internet these days, you'll find that this kind of fervor actually seems to be mainstream.
This fervent worship has even spawned a bit of a fandom culture. Their adoration for O and the league has reached a point where even the individuals involved can't control it. Now, if anyone says even half a bad word about the league online, they'll immediately be attacked by a large group of fans, ultimately ending up drowning in a sea of criticism.
This is an inevitable phase, but such fervor will eventually pass. Sooner or later, people will discover that the objects of their worship are not so perfect. Some may be disappointed, but many more will realize that the value of these guardians is not to bring salvation, but to bring hope, to bring light to everyone's heart, and to make everyone a better person.
But in the end, people cannot rely on them to do everything for them and solve all their problems.
In the end, you still have to walk your own path.
In stark contrast to the people, those in power felt the pressure.
“We want to go up to the watchtower and take a look,” one senator shouted. “The Justice League needs to be regulated! They need to register!”
Another senator stated, "We're considering a superhuman registration bill, starting with the Justice League. They're like a bunch of walking nuclear weapons; no private individual can possess that kind of power. They have to allow us to take over Watchtower; it's a matter of trust!"
Shen You laughed.
"Fine, then I'll report the truth and say that you don't trust them. Maybe you'll get what you want, but you might have to be careful in your lives from now on."
For example, when you lock certain secrets in a safe, remember to remind yourself that someone on the other side of the world might be watching you.
For example, when you're cuddling someone you shouldn't be cuddling or sleeping in a place you shouldn't be sleeping in, there might be someone walking right in front of you at near-light speed, but you just can't see them.
And whenever night falls, when you see any darkness, even the most inconspicuous shadow, you will feel uneasy.
For example, sometimes you might just mutter something to yourself, and a wicked little thought that shouldn't have popped into your head for a split second—I bet most of you do this often, right? Haha, who knows? Maybe someone can hear you?
Of course, there's a 90% chance you're just scaring yourselves. There's a 90% chance you're completely alone, with no one on the other side of the world watching you, and nobody cares about your silly little secrets.
But you just can't help thinking like that, you'll always be on edge. Why is that?
Because you will always remember that you posed a ridiculous 'trust question' to some of the most powerful people on the planet.
After a pause, Agent Mike smiled slightly.
"Of course, I'm completely on your side, just pointing out the problems you might encounter. If you still insist on this, then I'll go up to the watchtower and convey your message to them exactly as it is."
The councilors looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long silence, one of the councilors chuckled and then spoke dryly.
"Aha. Ahaha, Agent Williams, you seem to have misunderstood us. When we say 'oversight,' it's a broad term."
What we mean is a more friendly and harmonious cooperative relationship, a way of expressing intimacy that is based on friendship, engages in dialogue without compromising friendship and long-term cooperation, and aims to encourage and promote mutual progress.
Shen You raised an eyebrow: "So, you're not planning to go up?"
The senator smiled and said, "No need, no need. Things are fine on the ground, very fine. Just give our regards to the Alliance, and ask if they have enough supplies. If not, bring some food."
He had a politician's smile, but that smile seemed to say one thing.
Follow your heart.
Agent Mike then nodded politely.
"Don't worry, I'll bring it."
Thank you so much to the generous patron, FireFlameK, for the generous donation!
Chapter 284 The Aura of Fear
Agent Mike Williams doesn't need to show his face very often; Pal can handle most of the tasks. The few occasions he does appear are actually just a clone created by a high-speed afterimage.
For Shen You, multitasking is no longer difficult; his brain is perfectly capable of handling multitasking. Sending a clone out for social engagements doesn't affect any of his daily work schedules.
For example, you could make a trip to Kandak to check if Black Adam's coffin lid is still in place.
Kandak is one of the most famous fictional nations in DC Comics, and all its stories are inextricably linked to Black Adam. Theoretically, it seems a bit far, but in Shen You's eyes, any two coordinates on the same planet aren't far.
Flying isn't necessarily slower than teleportation.
The high-speed afterimage, invisible to the naked eye, swept across the border of Kandak, passed through the mountains, and locked onto the location obtained from the archaeological expert during the previous operation.
A mausoleum.
The ancient ruins were unearthed under the scorching sun of Kandak, the sand steaming hot. Its entrance was man-made, a massive chasm, like a wide, gaping maw, leading to a dark and profound world. Looking down, it was an abyss of blackness, only the stone and mortar structures at the entrance were clearly reflected in the sunlight.
To be more precise, it only resembles a tomb on the outside. But Shen You knew it was more accurately described as a prison. Black Adam was once the successor chosen by the old wizard, but he misused his powers, disappointing the wizarding council, and was therefore sealed and suppressed here. This ruin was, in fact, his prison.
Shen You entered the ruins and found the location of the seal almost effortlessly.
"Tess Adam rests here."
But when he used Ultra Vision to scan, he quickly realized...
It seems we're still a bit late.
There is nothing here.
The magical barrier beneath the tomb has long been broken, and the slumbering one has awakened. Black Adam, who possessed the power of the six gods, is now nowhere to be found.
However, Shen You was fairly certain that he hadn't seen much news about Kandak's magical superhero lately. Logically, the discovery of something of Black Adam's caliber should have caused quite a stir quickly, appearing in the news, but so far, there hadn't been any.
But it's alright. Black Adam isn't usually a major threat; he only cares about his own country. Even if he were to resurrect and try to stage a coup or dictatorship, as long as he doesn't collude with any otherworldly demons or alien invaders, that's not in the law enforcement handbook of M78 civil servants.
Shen You had only come to take a casual look around and didn't need to bother searching for anyone. He quickly scanned the tomb and found a special material called "Eternal Stone." In the movies, this stuff was incredibly powerful; it could be used to make missiles that could stun Black Adam, and to make engines that could create supersonic, teleporting vehicles—it had a bit of a vibranium feel to it.
This is something worth going back and studying.
After a cursory scan to confirm there was nothing else worth looting, Shen You turned and headed back. However, after flying only three thousand miles, the radar detected negative energy fluctuations.
Some kind of dark fluctuation is nearby.
A quiet little town. No one noticed that a shooting star streaked across the sky and landed somewhere behind the town.
As night fell, a car was parked on the side of the road. A couple was having a passionate lovemaking session in the back seat. The poor car seemed to be bearing a weight it shouldn't have to, shaking and vibrating so violently that the tires looked like they were about to break under the pressure of the chassis.
With a crash, the car window shattered.
A dark arm reached out from the window, grabbed his collar, roughly pulled him out of the shattered window, and threw him out with great force.
Caught off guard, the man was sent flying far away by the flying glass, and rolled several times after landing.
He looked up in astonishment and saw a dark, twisted thing slowly approaching him. The dark body was indistinct, like something molded from mud, with only a pair of intelligent eyes swaying about, making his sanity plummet.
The man screamed in terror, instinctively shrinking back. He glanced at their car, only to see the blonde beauty who had just been having fun with him leap into the driver's seat at lightning speed, start the engine, and speed away in a flash.
艹(F*ck)
As the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone flies away. In this situation, the girlfriend took the car and sped off at lightning speed. Wait, he's not even sure if she's his girlfriend or boyfriend right now. And let's be honest, if it were a normal girl in this situation, she might have been screaming in terror, and wouldn't have been so adept and quick at running away.
I'm so hungry!
The distorted, eerie figure approached him step by step, extending its dark, withered hand.
"Need. Fear"
"Don't come any closer!" the man cried, scrambling and crawling.
The hand had already landed on his shoulder.
At that moment, his body seemed to freeze. Boundless fear almost engulfed him, and his limbs felt as if they were fixed in place. The already scarce essence of his life was rapidly draining away from his body.
He felt himself dying.
On his deathbed, the man felt even more regret.
That last shot was absolutely wrong.
In that instant, a bolt of lightning seemed to strike from the horizon. The twisted monster was sent flying sideways without warning, its red and silver afterimages flashing out abruptly.
"run."
After briefly giving the rescued civilian a telepathic command, Shen You immediately focused his attention on the creature that had been knocked away.
He had never seen anything like this before, and it seemed difficult to match it with the image he had seen in the original work.
But upon closer inspection, the residual energy within this thing seemed somewhat familiar.
There was a hint of fear in the air?
