Chapter 904: Red Sea Rage (Part 2)

"What does Schiller want to do?" Stark, who was sitting on the sofa in front of the screen, said with some confusion: "He sent people to raid bases in various states, and then hired someone from the Daily Bugle to shoot spiders. Xia, what the hell is he doing?"

"Oh, that Spider-Man really went down!" Peter looked at the picture on the screen with some surprise, but the perspective at this time was Venom's first person.

Peter said with some novelty: "It turns out that in the eyes of my opponents, I am in this state, which is quite interesting. I look like a real spider."

"Ah, wait!" Peter suddenly reacted and said: "He is not really Spider-Man, he is not me, but... what is that race called? Skrulls? They are called Skrulls. My aliens, why are they seeking justice on Earth?”

Nick smiled and said, "This is Schiller's purpose. Let me ask you, what is a superhero?"

Peter touched his chin and said: "I think superheroes are those who do good things. In fact, I don't like the word super very much. A hero is a hero. A hero is someone who does what others can't do and dares to stand up and save others from fire and water. middle……"

"You got part of the answer right." Nick replied, and at this time, Stark said: "I think the key point of superheroes is 'super'. Our special abilities are what distinguish us from ordinary people. important factors.”

"Of course, I think that in the war against vampires, the police are also heroes, but the problems they can solve are very limited, and they must act in accordance with the rules and regulations. Even firearms cannot exceed the specifications."

"But I'm different. I can provide all kinds of fire support to everyone, regardless of whether the weapon can be held by civilians. I can use my special abilities to provide them with assistance outside of the rules. This is very important."

But Steve thought for a while and said: "The image of a superhero is also very important. Over the years, my ability to have such a great influence depends on the image of Captain America."

"I admit it. I'm actually not a very charismatic person. Before I became Captain America, I was not good at talking."

"However, during the war, the government's propaganda about Captain America made me very famous. As time went by, this image became a classic in the memory of a generation, so they were more willing to listen to me. Talk and think I'm very reliable."

"Okay, then let's summarize these points into 'mind', 'ability' and 'image'. 'Mind' refers to a heart that maintains justice and kindness and is willing to do good things. 'Ability' refers to a heart that goes beyond With abilities beyond ordinary people’s standards, the ‘image’ is the most classic image of a superhero recognized by the public.”

"These three parts together constitute a superhero. So just imagine that the Skrulls want to disguise themselves as a superhero. Which parts have they already achieved, and which parts have they not yet achieved?"

"What they do best is their image." Steve shook his head and said: "So far, I haven't seen any difference between the person on the screen and me, and I don't see the Iron Man either. And the difference between Spider-Man and the real thing.”

"It is no exaggeration to say that if the two of them appeared in front of me, I would really think that they were genuine. Even now I am a little doubtful about which of you is real and who is fake."

Stark sneered and said, "We came out of heaven together, and you forgot so quickly?"

"This is the reason why I dare to sit with you now. Otherwise, I would wonder if you have also been replaced."

"This is actually the purpose of the Skrulls." Nick tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers and said, "As long as you realize that there may be a fake that is exactly the same as yours among you, then you You will instinctively suspect that everyone is a fake.”

"By destroying the trust between the Avengers at the root, we can achieve the purpose of dividing us."

"But equally, although they disguise their image very well and have almost no flaws, they have certain problems in the other two aspects."

"But can't they even disguise our abilities?" Peter raised his hand and asked, "Then there are no flaws in terms of abilities?"

"Indeed, there are indeed no flaws in their ability to imitate you, but the problem is that your ability itself has certain flaws." Nick said, holding his chin with his hand: "We will talk about your weaknesses later. The only problem is That is, you only have one person, and each person only has two legs and two hands. If you appear in one place, you cannot appear in another place, otherwise the secret will be exposed. "

"I seem to understand a little bit." Stark squinted his eyes and looked at Spider-Man and Venom who were fighting on the screen. He said: "Schiller caused so many accidents just to make them unable to do anything."

"But I don't understand, what's the point of him doing this? Wouldn't it be better to just eliminate them? Why bring them to the earth and let us stay here and watch?"

Nick smiled again and said, "Why don't you let us go back and talk about it later? Let's continue the topic we just talked about. The bigger flaw than ability is the mind."

"Of course the Skrulls don't want to save the people on Earth. At least these aliens who want to divide the Avengers certainly don't have any good intentions toward us. But the problem is that superheroes are kind-hearted and helpful. Their actions are also an aspect of their composition.”

"Let's put it this way, right now, at the top of the building, several cameras are pointing at Spider-Man, and a monster that wants to eat people's heads appears on the street. If this Spider-Man follows the logic of the Skrulls' behavior, what will happen next? The tragedy was ignored, and this scene happened to be captured by the camera. Do you think Spider-Man’s image can still stand up?”

Peter curled his lips and said, "Don't say I don't care. I was just two seconds late. Those reporters would seize on this and make a big deal about it. They would either say that I was slow to respond, or that I was hesitant and not brave enough... …”

Peter sighed and said: "On those forums, the commenters will find all kinds of criticism, either saying that I should fall from the direction with my back to the sun, which will dazzle the other person's eyes, or saying that I should jump facing the sun. Go down so that your view will be better..."

"In short, nothing Spider-Man does is right." Peter shrugged and said, "I'm used to it."

"If it's like what you said, and he dares to just swing over without caring about anything, then Spider-Man's reputation will be ruined. Just the group of people on the forum will start yelling at each other. I can already imagine what they will say."

Nick nodded and said: "That's it. If superheroes want to have a certain influence, they must maintain their good image. Think about it, Spider-Man who is desperate to save himself, Captain America who smokes and drinks, and Captain America who is poor and stingy. "Iron Man, do you think your original fans will like this image?"

"Indeed, you don't care about influence, because you are doing practical things. You think you can help one by one. It doesn't matter what others think. But this group of aliens does not. Their purpose is to use your identity to provoke a war. ”

"Superheroes who are excluded from the fringes of society are of no use. They don't want to destroy the world, but to control it. If they want to use superpowers to blow up the entire earth, then they should directly imitate Magneto."

"Since they didn't do this, it means that what they want is not a powerful figure who is excluded from society, but a figure who is close to the center of power and has privileges. And the reason why they didn't pretend to be you is Being crazy means that they want your social identity.”

"In this case, they must maintain this social identity and maintain the good image of superheroes."

"Then, their image is consistent with yours, their abilities are consistent with yours, and for some reason, even their behavior of punishing evil and promoting good and helping others must be consistent with yours. Then aren't they superheroes?"

The three people sitting on the sofa all opened their mouths. Stark touched his chin and said: "I have read discussions about this ethical issue in psychology books. For example, if One person’s memory and personality are all copied to another person, then who is he?”

"If there is a person who has Stark's ability, also has Stark's image, and is doing the same thing as Stark, is he Stark?"

"Of course, you are the last person to think about this problem." Nick shrugged, looked at Stark and said, "I'm pretty sure that the fake Stark doesn't have the ability to upgrade. Even if he can upgrade, it's not the same as... The Iron Demon is different.”

"Furthermore, as far as I know, the ability of the Skrulls to imitate you is not completely flawless. The specific data has not been tested in detail. However, the upper limit of their disguised abilities is lower than yours."

"For example, Spider-Man's ultimate strength may be able to lift a mountain, so the impostor's ultimate strength is to lift four-fifths of a mountain."

"However, because the power he uses in daily life does not reach the limit at all, Spider-Man usually does not need to lift mountains. He only needs to deal with ordinary human criminals. In this case, the difference in the upper limit of power is not easily reflected. , so it looks like the disguise is perfect."

Nick leaned back in his chair and said, "This is why they didn't copy Professor X's abilities."

"If they imitate Professor

"However, they may not have such a plan." Nick frowned and said, "Although it is not possible to replace people with psychic abilities openly, as long as they are not discovered, it will be fine. There is someone who can control psychic abilities secretly. people, their plans will be much more convenient. ”

"Then if they really imitate Professor It’s too risky, no, I have to go back to New York first…”

"Haven't you noticed yet? Why are so many Skrulls gathered around Schiller?" Nick looked at the screen and said, "Why would they go far away to find Professor X?"

Steve slowly opened his mouth and said, "You mean, they want to copy Schiller???"

Stark froze in his tracks, and he said, "Oh my God! Isn't one Schiller enough? Another identical one is needed?!"

"You haven't seen more Schillers before." Nick shrugged lightly and said, "Have you forgotten the last consultation with SHIELD? There were at least dozens of Schillers that time?"

Stark covered his forehead, Steve covered his eyes, and Peter sighed deeply. Obviously, the three of them were still in fear of that time.

"The problem is, if there is really a Schiller under their control, then wouldn't it be..." Stark frowned deeply, and seemed very worried. He said, "If Schiller is really loyal to the Skrulls, then what should we do..."

Nick smiled very brightly and said, "Just keep watching, you will know soon."

"Dr. Schiller, you haven't been back to Arkham Sanatorium for a long time, right? You can go back and take care of your recent work first, and then we will meet again." Nick on the screen said to Schiller.

Schiller nodded and left without saying anything. Looking at his back, Nick's expression gradually turned cold. After Schiller completely left the base, Nick took the elevator to the deeper secret laboratory.

In the laboratory, a green-skinned alien just walked out of the life support chamber. The green-skinned man saluted Nick strangely. Nick nodded and asked him: "After being in contact with Schiller for such a long time, can you complete the disguise?"

"His memory is a bit complicated, I can't copy it completely." The alien showed a visible embarrassed expression, and said: "I'm not sure if I copied all the memories, but for now, there are no big problems with the life trajectory and the logic of memory..."

"Then let's do it. The situation is more complicated than we thought. There are accidents everywhere. We need more manpower. Prepare to disguise."

The green-skinned Skrull nodded, walked back to the life support chamber, closed his eyes, and then his appearance began to gradually change to Schiller.

Various memories hovered in his mind and gradually merged with his own memories.

But at this moment, some details in Schiller's memory were magnified, and countless words poured directly into the mind of this Skrull.

The copied file contained a very special "virus" that instantly penetrated into every corner of the system.

The highly infectious words and examples completely shattered the entire worldview of the Skrulls, like a raging red sea and a stormy wave hitting the shore.

The profound understanding, experience, and implementation of the theory were deeply implanted in the mind of this Skrull.

When he slowly opened his eyes, all the sounds became blurred, and only the tide that had not yet receded brought a distant sigh.

"A ghost is wandering in Europe..."
