Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

"It's not that I don't have confidence in my own strength, but no matter how strong I am, I am only one person. I need more insurance. Ke, you are the best confidence I can think of."

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me."

Conan-san tried hard to resist the urge to roll his eyes.

He was capable, after all, he had the golden finger, but he was definitely not as powerful as Lux and Kyle imagined.

This kind of misunderstanding is difficult to explain, so we can only let it go.

"Let me ask you first, are you going to disguise your identity or just use your real appearance?"

Lux produced a small makeup box that looked like an antique from somewhere.

He said it was a magic item used to change one's appearance.

"Although I want your help, I don't intend to let your powerful trump card be exposed so easily.

I doubt it, no, I should say it is certain, there are definitely 'human rapists' in the human world today."

"A traitor to humanity? There is no doubt about that."

q Conan Shan is almost certain that the aliens are one of the trials left behind by the savior of mankind. It would be really strange if there were no internal problems.

This is probably what is called a routine.

: Moreover, even if this is not the aftermath of the savior of mankind, considering the bad nature of the human race, it is normal for them to selfishly cooperate with aliens for certain purposes.

"Disguise your identity, keep a low profile, and strike with thunder when necessary. That's how it feels. How should I describe it... Oh, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Ha."

4Lux seemed to be amused by his own words.

"No need for that..."

Conan tried hard to control the corners of his mouth that were about to twitch.

4. "What if I just keep my current identity and appearance?"

⑶ "That's no problem either. Anyway, you've already been exposed in Academy City. Many big shots in the human world already know your appearance and identity. It would be easier to just let you become a magic consultant."

Shrugged ungracefully.

〇Conan-san was not surprised by this.

5. He knew this would happen when he accidentally revealed his true identity in Academy City.

There was no relevant news from the Chief Auror, which meant that the other party didn't know too much. After all, the cooperation between the Ministry of Magic and the human world was very limited, so it was not strange for them to conceal information from each other.

Now that Lux has become a magic consultant that cannot be made public in the human world, it is normal for him to know some secrets that are not really secrets.

"Then why not disguise your identity? I will just join you directly. It will be much more convenient for me to act in the future."

Conan doesn't want to spend time preparing disguises every time he comes to the human world and comes into contact with the so-called XCOM.

Moreover, because of the last mistake, or accident, in Academy City, he seemed to have caught the attention of some high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic, and it was impossible for him to continue to keep a low profile.

"If someone really is targeting me, that might be a good thing."

"Now that you say so..."

Rux nodded and put away the makeup box in his hand.

"Ke, you must have some time left, so let's go to XCOM's base right away and register your identity so that you can become a truly recognized magic consultant."

"Rux, I have a question. Could it be that XCOM's base is in New York?"

When Conan-san stepped out of the subway station and came to this entrance, he had already noticed something strange.

But because the thing looked so familiar, he instinctively ignored it.

It's also time to face reality.

"You guessed it right. XCOM's base is indeed in New York."

Lukes answered readily.

"To be more specific, one of the bases is in this city. XCOM is an organization that transcends the international community. It doesn't just have a so-called headquarters. The base here is not a formal military base. It is a rest area and observation station disguised as a commercial building."

“…Is that it?”

③IlebaⅠ④Allium

Conanshan tried hard to keep a straight face and looked towards a tall building in the east.

This is a very unique building with a streamlined design.

This is a very conspicuous building. According to his memory, when he came to this metropolis during the summer vacation, this building should not have existed yet.

There is a big English initial "Nine" on the outer wall of this building.

"Is our base so obvious? You guessed it right away? Is it because the design is too special?"

Eight Lux smiled and nodded.

② “Yes, this is XCOM’s base in New York, which is disguised as a commercial building. It is called the Avengers Building internally, or the Avengers Building.”

4

san Conan actually hoped that Lux would deny his guess.

⑶ However, if we deny it here, things may become more complicated.

０ “Oh my god, Avengers Tower…”

㈤ In his previous life, Conan didn’t have much interest in the movies adapted from certain comics, and he had never been to the cinema to watch the related movie series.

However, even though he had no interest in and was not very familiar with the movie, he still learned some related things on many occasions.

So, when he saw the legendary "Avengers Tower" standing in New York, he was completely numb and instinctively ignored it.

"What the hell is going on in this stitched world? I'm sure there are no superheroes like Big Shit here! But, this has become the base of XCOM, an organization that fights aliens?"

Conan-san no longer wants to complain.

He just hoped that no superheroes or supervillains would appear in this already messy world of stitched monsters.

039 Avengers Tower

Rux brought Conan-san to the Avengers Mansion.

After stepping into the building, Conan-san looked around with uncontrollable curiosity.

However, the base of this secret organization disguised as a business company does not look strange at all.

At least now, the men and women in the entrance hall all seem to be going to work normally, and there are no signs of unnecessary armaments.

This place is very bright and beautiful, with a modern and high-end feeling that a metropolis should have. This shows that the designer of this building is very knowledgeable and knows how to make the work look high-end.

This place really looks like what a newly built commercial building should look like.

According to Lux's explanation just now, this Avengers Building was indeed built in a very short time, and it seemed that the human world contributed a lot of resources and undisclosed technologies.

Conan-san almost had a stress disorder when he heard about the latest undisclosed technology.

Fortunately, he didn’t hear keywords like “black technology”, otherwise he would really curse.

"Go this way."

With the authority of a magic consultant, Lux easily led the stranger Conan Shan deep into the vast building and came to the real interior that could not be seen by the outside world.

Conan-san passed through several tightly locked doors. He did not go underground as expected. Instead, he took the elevator behind the door and came to the middle floor of the Avengers Building.

"Ke, the time is just right. Let me show you something good."

Lux walked on the clean white floor of unknown material, passed through a long corridor, and finally came to a closed door.

Conan Shan did not see any surveillance devices along the way, but before he stepped into this secret base, when he approached here, he had already noticed the gaze coming from here.

After the two of them came to this place, this feeling of attention was even greater.

Lux waved his hands, and the door in front of him slid open to the left and right.

Conan-san came to a room that smelled of detergent and was filled with various incomprehensible instruments.

The room was divided into two floors. The outer floor was where he was currently, and the inner floor was the interior that could be seen through the wide glass windows.

No matter which angle you look at this inner room from, it seems that some kind of human experiment is being conducted.

There was a young man who was obviously well-trained lying on the operating table. Beside him were several doctors or experimenters who were dressed tightly and wearing masks.

The young man on the operating table had his eyes closed, his mouth and nose covered with an oxygen mask, his breathing was very steady. He was naked, and there were unknown wires and tubes connected to many parts of his body.

Conan-san couldn't understand what kind of human experiment this was, and Lux ​​deliberately didn't explain.

However, as a time traveler with good imagination, Conan Shan naturally had an idea in his mind based on the current situation.

"No way……"

Conanshan turned his head as naturally as possible and looked at the other people who were originally in the outer room.

There are five other people in this room.

Two of them looked gentle and looked like researchers. They were observing the situation in the laboratory closely and didn't even pay attention to Conanshan and Lux ​​who had just entered the room.

As for the other three, they are simply muscular men.

And he's a very familiar looking hunk.

"Maximilian Berkmann..."

Maximilian Berkman, one of the highest administrators of Academy City.

During the summer vacation not long ago, Conan-san had a brief dealings with the other party.

The old man with white hair but stronger than young people did not greet the two newcomers. He just glanced at Conan-san, nodded slightly, and then focused all his attention on the ongoing human experiment.

The two people next to the old man should be his guards. Conanshan had seen them before, but he didn't know their names and had never spoken to them.

Although these two strong guards were also paying attention to the situation of the experiment, their attention was basically focused on Lux.

It was obvious that the two guards were on guard against Lux and Conanshan.

"Why is he here? Is Academy City on holiday?"

Conan-san actually had an idea in his mind.

But he really didn't want this idea to be confirmed.

Conan-san began to look at the human experiment that seemed to be about to end with some nervousness.

This was a fairly peaceful and quiet human experiment.

About ten minutes later, the experiment ended without any major movement or noise.

Everything remained at the same decibel until several researchers in the lab came out.

"Success?"

Berkman asked the experimenter in a low voice.

The experimenter nodded vigorously.

Then, he said a keyword that almost made Conan-san take off on the spot.

"As expected, Mr. Berkman, the recipient of the 'Super Soldier Serum' did not reject the serum. After this final injection, his body has completely accepted the serum. When he wakes up, he will be able to become a new super soldier after a period of adaptation and training."

"Very good, this is good news, thank you for your hard work."

After Berkman comforted all the staff present, he walked towards Lux and Conanshan.

"Counselor Christo, and..."

The white-haired old man looked at Conan-san, who looked ordinary in appearance.

"Mr. Ke, let's talk somewhere else."

"nature."

Lux smiled, then took the silent Conan-san and followed the old man out of the room.

"Ke, you probably don't know what kind of experiment was being conducted just now, right?"

When taking the elevator to the upper floors, Lux didn't seem to mind the gazes around him at all, and took the initiative to explain to Conan-san what was going on with the somewhat confusing human experiment they had just observed.

"I don't know if you have heard of this urban legend. In fact, the country we are in now is secretly conducting horrific human research in an attempt to create powerful super soldiers.

To put it simply, this is not an urban legend, this is true, there really is a magical drug called Super Soldier Serum, and as the name suggests, as long as you receive the injection, you can become a powerful super soldier. "

Conan-san really wanted to say that he knew.
