Chapter 612 Hawkeye: I have experienced mental control before, it is nothing new
With Lainie's angry outburst, the situation of the Avengers in the illusion was temporarily under effective control.

The twins were afraid to act rashly towards other Avengers members, but Lainie and the others were unable to stop Ultron from sending people to take away the vibranium.

There was no way. Those Avengers who were under mind control had completely lost their combat capability. If Lenny and the others ignored them, they would probably become hostages used by Ultron to threaten Lenny and the others in a short while.

"This is simply... a disaster..."

At the conference table, Skye, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, used an adjective that Lainie had used to describe herself in the past to describe the chaotic situation that was taking a sharp turn for the worse.

However, putting himself in Skye's shoes, Skye just put himself in the "self" in the illusion, but found that even if he were to repeat the situation, he probably wouldn't be able to change anything.

Pietro was too fast for conventional means of attack to work, and as long as he noticed someone attacking him, he would always be able to dodge the opponent's aim before the attack came.

Clint is the most obvious example of this. With his excellent eyesight and shooting skills, he can see through Pietro's movements and predict his opponent's next move, thereby releasing arrows in advance to attack.

But Pietro could still rely on his extraordinary reaction speed to twist his body in a way that almost violated the laws of physics, or speed up and sprint at the moment when the arrow was about to touch his body, easily avoiding every fatal arrow.

The only way to deal with him is to launch an attack in advance from a position where he cannot detect, and the attack must be faster than his dodge speed, otherwise it will be like throwing a stone at a phantom in the wind, which is ultimately futile.

"Is this the true strength of these Avengers? They don't look that great."

After witnessing with his own eyes how easily himself in the illusion made the Avengers panic, Pietro, who was sitting next to Wanda, couldn't help but feel a bit of pride and contempt in his heart.

However, after seeing Leni's great power in the illusion, and blowing up the entire entrance of the passage like a flaming hell with one shot, the pride and contempt that had just sprouted in Pietro's heart was instantly strangled in the cradle.

Almost subconsciously, Pietro turned his head slightly and secretly glanced at Lainie's expression at the moment, wanting to see how the other party reacted.

However, he didn't expect that Lainie beside him was actually looking at him with a half-smile. There was some deep meaning hidden in that smile, as if she saw through the subtle emotional changes in Pietro's heart just now.

"Like I said before, you are fast, but speed alone is not enough."

Lainie's smile was very bright, but underneath that brightness there was a sharpness that could not be ignored, which made Pietro's back cold and he shuddered for no reason.

Seeing this, Lainie just smiled slightly and raised her chin slightly, signaling Pietro not to be distracted, the good show was still to come and he should continue to watch.

"Clint!"

Thanks to the radar system, Lainie in the illusion seemed to have noticed in advance the movement of the unwilling twins approaching again, and hurriedly reminded Clint, who was about to become the next victim, to be careful of the enemy's attack.

Clint, who received a reminder from Lani on the communication channel, immediately became extremely alert. He drew his bow and shot a shock arrow to eliminate the last few mercenaries who were still resisting stubbornly.

The next second, a rapidly approaching figure suddenly appeared from behind Clint. Wanda, who had already accumulated magical power, didn't even wait for Pietro to put her down, and raised her hand to launch a mental attack on Clint.

After the previous experience where Lainie predicted their movements in advance, the twins obviously learned their lesson. Not only did they not take those passages that were easily blocked by doors and attacks, they even stayed in a blind spot with their backs to Lainie Stark where she could not attack them at the first time.

With Clint acting as a human shield in front of them, the brother and sister could naturally ignore Lanie's attack on Clint without restraint.

But to say that they are powerful is only relative, because Lainie doesn't think that just like this can make Clint, who has been prepared in advance, fall into the trap.

You know, this cabin is not like the previous Sokovia forest. There are only a few passages. How can Clint not grasp the possible location of the twins?

So, before Wanda, who had accumulated the crimson magic power, could make a move, Clint, with his super quick reaction, was one step ahead of her. He instantly pulled out a special arrow from his quiver and poked it into Wanda's forehead with lightning speed.

The dazzling electric current was released in an instant, and Wanda felt a strong sense of numbness spreading rapidly from her forehead to her whole body. She screamed, and the mental energy that was about to be released was instantly disordered, like smoke blown away by a strong wind, and disappeared without a trace.

The surging electric current quickly spread throughout her body along her forehead. Wanda's body trembled involuntarily. Her eyes widened, and Clint's calm poker face was reflected in her pupils.

"I've experienced mind control before, it's nothing new."

Seeing this scene, Pietro behind him suddenly changed his face. He immediately knocked Clint away regardless of everything, pulled out the arrow in his sister's forehead, and fled the cabin with his sister's limp body in his arms.

At the conference table, Wanda turned her head and glanced at Clint, who was sitting calmly at the other end. The scrutiny and vigilance in her eyes were very obvious.

Clint was not afraid of this at all. He just smiled slightly, and in front of his equally dissatisfied brother Pietro, he raised two fingers in front of his forehead and made a "salute to you" gesture.

Pietro became furious upon seeing this, and was about to slam the table and stand up from his seat to have a good fight with this guy.

He looked like he was saying, "If you're a man, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

But before he could say anything, Wanda beside him pulled his sleeve and pulled him back into the chair.

Not to mention that all this is just an illusion in the dream. Even if this scene is real, she knows that this is just a sneak attack from her side and the other side is well prepared. No one owes anyone anything.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the conference table was about to become tense again, Dr. Banner, who couldn't bear it any longer, quickly spoke up to change the subject.

"Laini, I still don't understand. If you simulated this 'future' to tell us that if Ultron gets the help of the twins, they will become the biggest obstacle to our stopping Ultron, then I think there is no need to worry about it now."

Dr. Banner's words were more euphemistic. Actually, translated into English, it means, since you have successfully persuaded these super-powered brother and sister to turn from evil to good, there is no need to create these illusions that obviously destroy harmony and isolate them, right?

After all, after all this, not to mention Clint, all the Avengers members present would probably have a secret grudge against Wanda's abilities.

Steve, who was very thoughtful, also echoed the words:

"That's right, Lainie. Since Wanda and the others are already sitting here, I think they will definitely not be bewitched by Ultron. You are indeed a little biased in doing this."

Seeing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lainie, wanting to express that Lainie's behavior was indeed a bit inhumane.

You have to know that it was you, Lainie, who decided to help the twins. But now you have created this scene. Aren't you going to drive them back with your own hands?
That would be too much of a betrayal, like killing the donkey after it has done its job.

Who would have thought that Lainie did not feel any guilt about this, but smiled and looked at the two people at the conference table. "Do you think so too?"

Being asked this question directly, Wanda and Pietro naturally had no idea how to answer.

After all, they are not saints, and their age is similar to Lainie. It is inevitable that they would feel resentful after being "insulted" like this.

In other words, her younger sister Wanda had seen some more embarrassing scenes from Lainie's memory illusion in advance. She didn't turn hostile on the spot, but she was definitely feeling uncomfortable.

As for her brother Pietro, he was even more direct. Facing Leni's question, he just smiled coldly, snorted coldly, and turned his head away without even looking at the people present.

If his sister hadn't held him back, he would have turned hostile on the spot and started swearing at Lainie.

"Okay, I admit that this is a bit inhumane, but I think it is necessary because some things have to be said in advance. Otherwise, they will be brewing in the dark and will explode sooner or later."

Lainie waved her hand to pause the illusion and glanced at everyone present.

"Wanda has a very special ability. She can invade other people's minds and understand their thoughts. I think no one here wants to experience this personally, including me."

Lainie raised the jammer on her wrist.

"But what a team needs most is mutual trust. I think everyone must be aware of this basic truth. If we can't even establish the most basic trust, then no matter how powerful each of us is, we will be like a pile of scattered sand and vulnerable when facing Ultron next time."

Lainie raised her hand and pointed at the Avengers who were frozen in the illusion, confused or frightened, and continued:

"Ultron may have many ways to deal with us, but I believe the simplest and most bloodless way is to disintegrate us from within, split us up and defeat us one by one.

It knows us very well, every one of us, knows our weaknesses, and knows what we are most worried and afraid of.

As for me, what I am most worried about at the moment is whether Uncle Ben and his family will be attacked by Ultron."

Lainie tapped on the conference table, calling up a holographic map, which then quickly located the location of Uncle Ben's family in Flushing, New York.

"But up to now, they are all safe and sound, and there is not even a hint of Ultron's influence. Do you think Ultron has ignored them and is kind enough to limit his target to just a few of us?
Or has he already planned something much easier than this, something that will completely defeat us in one fell swoop?"

Lainie's eyes sharpened, and she looked around at her silent teammates, each of whom had a different emotion reflected on their face.

"I don't want to give it the chance to tear us apart, so I insist on putting all the risks on the table and reducing them to a minimum, to a level we can accept. At least even if it does happen, we won't regret it."

"If there are risks, take precautions and make preparations early."

Tony also spoke in a deep voice at this moment, which was exactly the fundamental reason why he decided to create Ultron.

"We are avengers, but we cannot always only seek revenge and not prevent it. If we do too much to fix the situation, more and more people will die in vain."

This time, Captain America did not say anything to stop Tony from promoting his theory. He just listened silently, neither opposing nor supporting it.

"Back to the topic just now, I did this because I don't want the current situation to really happen. Wanda and Pietro's abilities are obvious to everyone. I can withstand mental attacks, but you can't.

I am confident that I can defeat all the Iron Golems, and even blow Ultron into pieces with one shot, but I cannot stop Ultron's conspiracy."

Lainie waved her hand to retract the holographic screen, directing everyone's attention back to the illusion. With a snap of her fingers, the illusion entered play mode again.

The environment around everyone changed, from the originally dark cabin to the bright beach outside.

Wanda, who was severely injured, had been taken outside by Pietro. Her forehead was slightly red due to the electric shock just now. She couldn't muster any strength in her whole body. She kept gasping for breath, and tried hard to endure the pain on her forehead so as not to let herself cry.

“What should I do, what should I do?”

Pietro anxiously held Wanda's right hand, trying to share her pain, but this could not provide any effective help other than psychological comfort.

"It hurts, my head hurts so much..." Wanda groaned in pain.

"I'll kill them right now, I'll go right now!"

Pietro almost gritted his teeth when he said this, but it was not difficult for everyone to hear from his voice the anxiety and helplessness deeply hidden in his heart.

This also made the audience present moved by the love between the brother and sister.

Although Pietro always behaved cynically before, at the critical moment, he would stand by Wanda without hesitation and was willing to give everything for her.

"No, don't go, you can't handle that woman!"

Wanda grabbed Pietro who wanted to leave, breathing heavily and trying hard to suppress the pain in her body.

"We have more important things to do than her."

She did not lose her mind because of the pain. Instead, she still remembered the mission that Ultron had given her, asking her to make the final and most important journey to split the Avengers.

A crimson light re-gathered in Wanda's eyes, and the hatred in her eyes seemed to be condensed into substance at this moment. She slowly crossed the dilapidated and old coastline and looked towards the junction of the end of the beach and the woods.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw a new Quinjet with its hatch open parked there defenselessly, and her target just happened to reveal itself from it at this moment.

"I want to control that big guy!"
