Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Chapter 401: 1. Dr. Ethan and the manager

"Ding Dong"

The door of the logistics office of the Gotham City Port District was pushed open. Dr. Ethan hummed and walked into this office full of files and various data parameters with a stack of files. This almost died in Afghanistan. The middle-aged man in the desert has already thanked him, but after two years of relaxing, his mental state looks much better.

At least it is no longer the same as the previous sickness, cynical to the extreme, and hope that it will explode in place.

He sat happily on his desk, eating hot dogs bought on the street, spreading out the complex design drawings in his hand, wearing glasses with extremely high multiples, and taking a pencil to write and draw pictures. Almost immersed in this simple joy.

Ethan Roque Martini, an expert in experimental physics, cryptography and data science from Italy, this unbelievable guy has 3 doctorate degrees, which can be called one of the most knowledgeable people in Gotham, like A person like him should be located in a laboratory, rather than being an indifferent manager in the logistics department of the port area.

But the lack of talents of the Devil Gang cannot be hidden. Especially for highly educated talents, they often take up multiple positions. Even the Devil Gang’s veteran Professor Hawkins has also guested a guild president in the port area. There is no way.

"I said, old Ethan, you haven't given me the reconstruction map of Pier 14 sewer that I will take last week!"

An angry, but middle-aged man in leather clothes suddenly pushed away from Dr. Ethan's office, and unceremoniously threw the experiment reports on the chair opposite the desk to the side, sitting angrily on it, his hand Holding a mug in it, he was ringing the cup on the table.

"How many times this? If you go on like this, I will complain to you!"

Facing an angry middle-aged man, Dr. Ethan was not angry or scared. He just shrugged, bit off the last hot dog, rolled his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Relax! Ben, your temperament is too urgent, I said to you today, I will be able to do well today."

He pushed his eyes, threw the plastic bag in his hand into the trash, turned it over in the huge locker behind him, and finally found a drawing, took it out, spread it out, put it on the table, and used his hand 'S pencil said casually while drawing:

"By the way, I saw you sent your nephew to leave Gotham by boat yesterday. That was really a handsome guy."

"You say Peter."

The manager touched his more rounded belly and looked at the rapidly completed transformation in front of him. He snorted and his expression softened, especially when it came to his proud nephew, his words were considered Was opened:

"Peter came for an internship in Professor Hawkins' laboratory, but unfortunately he hasn't graduated, otherwise he can stay in Gotham and let him live alone in New York. My aunt and I are not at ease, but recently It seems that he has grown up in these past few months, which is somewhat gratifying."

Yes, this manager is Ben Parker, the uncle of "Little Spider" Peter Parker, he is now the logistics manager of the Gotham Port Authority, much better than the original bad position, he is worried about the nephew's future to move I came to Gotham, but then unexpectedly found that the living environment here is far less bad than the news reports.

Of course, this is an area under the control of the devil gang, which is very safe, but once you enter other areas, it will be a bit troublesome, but generally no one will go to rob or hurt people in the port area. Everyone knows that it is The official identity of the Devil Gang will be a big deal once it moves.

"I heard Professor Hawkins say that your nephew is a real genius."

Dr. Ethan’s fingers flicked quickly on the drawing, and his words seemed not to affect his work at all. He said incessantly:

"Hawkins thinks that Peter may be recruited by other laboratories. I heard that he has been pestering his boss recently. I sent Peter an invitation letter in advance. I rarely see Hawkins attaching importance to a young man. You You know, the old guy is arrogant, old-fashioned, and stubborn.

As he talked, Dr. Ethan was a little excited. He waved his arms and complained to his friends:

"I submitted four applications to him, and as a result, my laboratory has not been approved yet. Look around. I have 3 Ph.D.s, but now I can only stay in the office to study my quantum experiments. It's a mess."

"boom"

The pencil in his hand was thrown aside, and he reached out to pick up the drawings on the table and handed it to Ben Parker, shrugging at him with a bad intention:

"It's done, here! The best design you can find on the East Coast. For it, I think you should at least invite me to "Black Cat and Gun" for a drink tonight. I heard that they have a new batch of cocktails. Come here."

"You can drink any time..."

Ben picked up the drawings and looked at them. He was also an old builder. He could see at a glance that the drawings were indeed perfect, but after rolling up the drawings, he looked around and lowered his voice:

"Ethan, do you think the board's sudden move to repair Pier 14 is a bit weird? I heard that the place has been abandoned for several years, and many people in this place regard it as an ominous place."

After finishing speaking, Ben seemed to feel that this sentence was a bit inappropriate, and he added another sentence: "Uh, I mean, if it is going to be renovated, why not just repair it with the dock facilities, but only one sewer, and this sewer The length and width are a bit too big, right?"

Ethan stopped picking up the pencil. He raised his head and looked at his new friend. He pushed his eyes. A strange light flashed in his eyes:

"I said, Ben, you haven't forgotten the confidentiality agreement you signed on the first day of employment, and then think about the things stored in the warehouse of Pier 13... In short, just keep these questions in mind, don't go everywhere Ask, we just get paid for work, the most important thing is: don’t cause yourself trouble."

Ben Parker's expression froze for a moment. He rubbed his forehead and nodded:

"Okay, I know... I'll call some old people in the dock area to do things, thank you for your reminder, Ethan, I want you to drink at the bar tonight."

The manager pushed open the door and walked out. Ethan smiled and began to work again. Within five minutes, the office door was pushed open again. Ethan looked up and saw one he had never seen. Young man, standing at the door, said to him indifferently:

"Ethan Rock Martini, Cyber ​​Hawk looking for you, right in his villa."

After finishing this sentence, the young man turned around and left, Ethan froze for a moment, then quickly grabbed his clothes, adjusted the bad instrument in front of the dressing mirror in the office, opened the door and faced Walked down the garage.

After 10 minutes, some uneasy Ethan appeared in the living room of Saber’s villa. Frankly speaking, Ethan’s memory of Saber still stayed on the plane that flew out of Afghanistan, the kind of fierce look, especially that Two eyes can attract the soul.

Although he was studying a very materialistic science, but after experiencing the pain that the soul was about to be ignited, his fear of Cyber ​​was really from the heart.

Opposite the restless Ethan, Cyber ​​slowly lowered the newspaper in his hand. He sat on the sofa with his legs tilted up and put his hand aside. He looked at Ethan, who was nervous in front of him, and smiled:

"Why? Have you been unhappy here? I don't remember I restricted your freedom, and a few months ago, did you also take over your wife and children from your hometown?"

Cyber ​​took a box of exquisite cigars from his pocket and gave it to Essen. In the mist, he leaned lazily on the sofa and said to the silent Essen:

"Don’t worry, I’m not someone who will coerce you to do something terrible. Starting tomorrow, in the neighborhood of Ulsende, you will have your own experimental physics laboratory. At least 3000W of research funding, and this laboratory is under your supervision, you are recruited by the staff, you like to research what you do, and I don’t care about the results of your research..."

He stopped here, paused, and looked up at Ethan: "The untidy uncle of Tony ruined your first half of life, so we now compensate you for the rest of your life, don't you have anything to say?"

Ethan was stunned there. As a greasy middle-aged man over 40 years old, he has experienced too many things, from the theft of experimental results, to being caught by the Ten Commandments, forcing them to work, and then to the nine deaths of Afghanistan. Finally, it was the peaceful life of Gotham. He thought that his next life would be like this, and there would be no more waves.

To be honest, he does not hate this kind of calm, especially after experiencing life and death, he enjoys the feeling of being with his family now... but suddenly, Saibo threw such a bait.

Ethan knows that once this bait is eaten, there is no turning back. Cyber ​​is not the mysterious Mandalin, the Devil Gang is not the Ten Commandments, nor is it the chaotic Middle East. In Gotham, Cyber ​​wants someone. Life, then he could never see the sun the next day alive.

But he is better than the Ten Commandments. He knows exactly what Ethan really wants. He gave a temptation that Isen could never refuse. That is what every qualified scientist wants, from the mainstream of society. Identity and the honor you deserve.

"Guru"

Ethan's voice moved. He reached for the tea on one side and drank it violently. Then he took a cigar violently. The greasy middle-aged man rubbed his nose and finally irritated his tie. Pulling it off, he looked at Cyber, and he whispered:

"So what do I have to pay?"

"This one!"

Cyber ​​looked at Ethan's struggle calmly. His final decision did not meet Cyber's expectations. He flicked his left hand, a black, covered with complex marks on the surface, like a metal reel. Appearing in the palm of his hand, he put it on the table and pushed it to Ethan:

"You are the best cryptography expert I can find. This is your first task, and it's the exchange of everything I give you."

Cyber ​​pressed his finger on the black scroll. He looked up at Ethan and said seriously:

"I want something in it, unscathed!"

Ethan did not answer, he just reached out and held the scroll in his hand, looked at it in detail, and frowned:

"This is a special physical encryption method, 128 key combinations, and finally the answer of 4 symbols is analyzed. Frankly speaking, this is the first time I have seen this kind of thing, but...I can give it a try. "

Cyber ​​shook his head:

"If you want to do it, you do it! Without trying this option, I can only say that if you fail, I will be very upset."

He rubbed his chin, and the red light flashed in his eyes:

"You don't want to see my irritability, right?"

Dr. Ethan hesitated a moment, he took a cigar in his hand in silence, and finally, he nodded and looked at Cyber:

"I need a lot of professional equipment and my laboratory."

Cyber ​​nodded:

"Tomorrow morning you will get everything you want, and then you will give me everything I want, right?"

"I'm doing... uh, I mean, I can do it!"

Ethan put the black steel scroll in the box prepared by Cyber, put it in his hand, and left the villa under the guidance of Sergey. Cyber ​​rubbed his forehead, sat on the sofa, and looked down at the newspaper. The above content is meaningless, he is concerned about another thing.

There is a lot of interesting information in Mrs. Viper's soul. Cyber ​​saw the initial reason why the Hydra attacked the Devil Gang, not because of others. It was precisely this scroll. This Cyber ​​was brought out from Stryker's dam base Scrolls.

To be honest, this thing has long been forgotten by Cyber, but now the Hydra will not hesitate to get it in full battle. This is to make Cyber ​​interested. The Yuriko who brought back the scroll just said that this scroll and Siberia There is a connection in a mysterious place, and she can't figure out what is hidden in this scroll.

So Cyber ​​didn't know what kind of reward this scroll could bring to him in the end...

In a situation that is more troublesome now, he desperately needs good news.
