Chapter 239 The Fall of the Golden Apple
Although Perkins didn’t know what Bai Jue was, let alone what kind of power Bai Jue had, her intuition as a woman told her that what Russell said about Bai Jue was definitely not weak.
In addition to Bai Jue, she was also interested in what Russell said about the fortified serum.
While the boosted serum from Octopus Labs is currently only sold to the military, Perkins has heard of Octopus Labs boosted serum.
The fortified serum that sells for as much as five million US dollars, even if you think about it with your toes, you can know that it can definitely bring a lot of strengthening to people.
Although the military spends a lot of money, the military bosses are not fools.
“Since you have no opinion, let’s start now.”
After speaking, Russell used the “absolute order” of King Serum and called Bai Jue, who was attached to a North American gray wolf, to the office.
When the North American gray wolf came to the office, a puzzled expression appeared on Perkins’ face.
But soon, she knew why the gray wolf came to the office.
After arriving at the office, the North American gray wolf first nodded to Russell, then turned to look at Perkins.
While looking at Perkins, white tentacles like octopus tentacles emerged from the North American gray wolf.
This isn’t the first time Perkins has seen the white tentacles.
She had already seen it once when Russell healed her in the interrogation room yesterday.
These white tentacles of varying thickness gushed from the North American gray wolf and immediately rushed towards Perkins.
Afterwards, it was possessed by Perkins.
In just two or three seconds, this Bai Jue completed possession.
Without Bai Jue’s possession, the North American gray wolf in the office instantly regained its wildness, bared his teeth, let out a low cry, and looked at Perkins and Russell with sharp eyes.
Whether it is Russell or Perkins, they are now ignoring this North American gray wolf.
To the average person, a feral gray wolf is mortally dangerous.
But to them, the not-so-small gray wolf is no different from a husky.
“Just wait and go to the unmanned factory controlled by No. 3, and he will arrange the injection of the enhanced serum for you.”
Russell said to Perkins.
“Okay!”
Perkins responded quickly.
“You can leave now and take this gray wolf with you.”
Although just an ordinary North American gray wolf, Russell also does not waste.
This was specially bought from the black market for Bai Jue to possess.
Even if you can’t use it now, you can definitely use it later.
“Um!”
Perkins nodded, raised his right hand, and a white tentacle gushed out, tying the North American gray wolf in front of him.
Afterwards, he left the office with the North American gray wolf who had no resistance at all.
When Perkins left the office, Russell came to the office’s open-air balcony, lay on the sofa without a word, and began to receive the nourishment of the sun.
As he received the nourishment of the sun, he thought a little about what he needed to do next.
The Assassin Brotherhood and the Pieces of Eden, Winston’s seat at the high table, Kama Taj’s magic study, Peter joins the press conference of Zhenglian.
By the way, there is also the Chitauri invasion that I don’t know when.
Although there seem to be quite a lot of things, there is really nothing urgent.
Whether it was the Assassin Brotherhood and the Pieces of Eden, or helping Winston get a seat at the high table, was nothing particularly urgent.
Dealing with these things is more to add some fun to your ordinary life.
Relatively speaking, the fact that Peter joined Zhenglian was more serious.
But it’s also the easiest thing to do, just tell No. 3 to schedule a press conference.
After lying on the sofa on the open-air balcony for more than an hour, he got up and stood up.
Afterwards, it flew towards the Octopus Monster headquarters.
After returning to the office, he first instructed No. 3 to contact the major news media to prepare for Peter to join the Zhenglian press conference.
Then, he called in Ellie, the female secretary with blond hair and double ponytails.
After half a day’s rest, his worldly desires finally returned to normal levels.
Before Ellie got off work, he planned to play a game of flying chess with Ellie, whose hairstyle was changed to a double ponytail.
Although I just replaced the big waves with double ponytails, I have to say that the change of hairstyle will bring a completely different feeling.
The person is still the same person, but playing Ludo with Ellie this time is obviously more exciting than yesterday.
After more than an hour, Russell and Ellie, who had finished playing Ludo, went to the bathroom next to the office to take a mandarin duck bath together.
Just like yesterday, Ellie, who was wearing black silk, once again left the office with bare legs.
…………
A modest residential building in Queens, New York.
Callum came here alone, dressed in casual clothes.
Afterwards, I took the elevator to the top floor and rang the doorbell of one of the households.
After waiting for a few seconds, the door opened.
The door was opened by a black male.
After glancing at Callum, the black male said nothing and turned back to the house.
Callum followed the black male inside, closed the door, and came to the living room.
In the not-so-spacious living room, there are three computers running the three Assassin’s Creed games that have been released.
“Have you cleared the three Assassin’s Creeds now?”
Callum asked the three in the living room.
“It’s all cleared, and the result is worse than we imagined.”
The black man named Musa answered first.
In addition to Musa, Nathan and Ling in the living room also nodded.
Musa, Nathan, Ling, like Callum, are descendants of Roman Assassins who escaped from Abstergo Industries’ Project Sophia laboratory.
Although they finally recaptured the golden apple from Sophia’s father, Alan, the owner of Abstergo Industrial Pharmaceuticals, they still face an extremely embarrassing problem.
The Roman Brotherhood of Assassins, now there are only four of them.
The Assassin Brotherhood, which used to be compatible with the Knights Templar, has split into a dozen or twenty different branches.
As the orthodox Roman Assassin of the Assassin Brotherhood, it is now even more desolate to the point where there are only four people.
Although Callum now has a golden apple in his hands, they are still too weak to compete with the Knights Templar.
As a result, Callum hit the idea of Perkins and other famous killers.
Although famous killers like Perkins did not meet the recruitment rules of the Assassin Brotherhood at all, Callum could only use it at this time.
It’s better to brainwash killers who already have superb killing skills into fraternity-compliant assassins than recruit ordinary people to retrain.
Not to mention Callum they don’t have that much time right now.
Even if they have it, it is not something they can handle now just by training the various resources needed for assassins from scratch.
Therefore, they can only use some unconventional methods.
“Although the information disclosed in the game is not completely accurate, it is basically certain that the person who provided this information to the game makers is definitely an insider.”
Musa said with a serious look.
“Find a way to find people who provide information to game makers, and put other things aside.”
“Also, be careful with the Knights Templar when looking for this person, they may have discovered this before us.”
Callum said to the three of Musa.
“What are you going to do with Russell? Although he is not the manager of the Continental Hotel in New York, if he wants to intervene, even if we have the Golden Apple, we will definitely not be able to stop him.”
Nathan, the male white man standing beside Musa, said slowly.
“I will find a way to solve it on Russell’s side. You first go to the person who provides information to the game makers. On the high table, I will also handle it.”
Although Callum was the latest descendant of the Roman Assassins who was caught in the Sophia Project Laboratory, because his ancestor was Aguilar, the three of Musa instinctively took him as their leader.
“Then Russell and the high table will be left to you. Musa and I will go to France tonight, and Ling will stay and help you.”
Nathan continued.
“No need, Ling also went with you. The Knights Templar’s power in Europe is obviously stronger than that here, so it can be safer for you to act together.”
Callum rejected Nathan’s suggestion and said slowly.
Although one more person means more power, Callum is very clear that in front of the monster-like Russell, even if they have more than a few hundred people, it may not be useful.
In that case, it might be better to let Ling and Nathan Musa act together.
“Alright, then pay more attention to your own safety.” Nathan said slowly.
After dealing with the traces of whereabouts and identity in the room, Callum and his party left the room.
This is their temporary rental residence, and it is rented under a fake identity.
But out of the assassin’s caution, they still dealt with the room’s traces that might reveal their identity and actions.
Caution is the boat!
Especially when fighting against an organization like the Knights Templar.
When Callum and others decided to split into two teams, Russell at the Octopus Headquarters office also received a report from No. 3.
The report on the 3rd is not about the investigation of the publisher of the Assassin’s Creed game, but about the invasion of the New York branch of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has raised many professionals, it even has its own Secret Service Academy.
But in the field of network security, the professionals recruited and trained by S.H.I.E.L.D. are obviously not the opponents of No. 3.
It only took half a day for the 3rd to forcibly break through the firewall of the New York branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., invaded their core database, and found some information about the fragments of the Garden of Eden from it.
In the S.H.I.E.L.D. database, No. 3 found information on Golden Apple 3 and Golden Apple 5.
Of course, in the records of S.H.I.E.L.D., the two golden apples are No. 1 and No. 2, because they only know the existence of these two golden apples now.
However, Russell still called it the Golden Apple 3 and the Golden Apple 5 in accordance with his own habit.
S.H.I.E.L.D. named the two golden apples No. 1 and No. 2, and that was a S.H.I.E.L.D. thing.
He wouldn’t call the two golden apples No. 1 and No. 2 like S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Golden Apple 3, now kept in the White House.
Specifically, the location of the White House, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not clear.
As for the Golden Apple 5, it is now stored in the NSNA, which is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Like Golden Apple 3, S.H.I.E.L.D. also doesn’t know where the Golden Apple 5 is in the NSNA.
Although I don’t know the exact location of Golden Apple 3 and Golden Apple 5.
However, S.H.I.E.L.D. has gathered some information about the abilities of the Golden Apple.
For example, the Golden Apple 3 in the White House has the effect of creating illusions and controlling the human mind.
In addition to the abilities possessed by No. 3, Golden Apple 5 can also bring technology to mankind beyond the current era.
Although the two golden apples are in the official hands of the United States, judging from the intelligence collected by S.H.I.E.L.D., they have a lot of interest in the two golden apples.
Judging from the internal information obtained on the 3rd, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent agents more than once to infiltrate the White House and NSNA to try to find the two golden apples.
However, so far, S.H.I.E.L.D. has not been able to find the exact location of the two golden apples.
In addition to the information on the Golden Apple 3 and Golden Apple 5, the 3 also found some information about the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar from the S.H.I.E.L.D. database.
Abstergo Industries Pharmaceuticals!
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. did not take action against the Knights Templar, it is clear that they have done a lot of investigations into the Knights Templar and know that Abstergo Industries is a shadow company formed by the Knights Templar.
Not only that, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also investigated the internal structure of the Knights Templar.
Grand Master, Inner Sanctum, Outer Templars, Guardians and Commanders of the Cross, Presbyterians, Black Cross…
Russell browsed the information of the S.H.I.E.L.D. investigation while comparing it with the memory in his mind.
Although he has not been in contact with the Knights Templar yet, judging from the information investigated by S.H.I.E.L.D., the Knights Templar in this world is not much different from what he remembers.
Now that the Knights Templar has been investigated, S.H.I.E.L.D. certainly won’t let the investigation of the Assassin Brotherhood go.
However, compared with the data of the Knights Templar, the data of the Assassin Brotherhood of Assassins is obviously much less.
S.H.I.E.L.D. has only found that the Assassin Brotherhood has appeared at least in 400 BC, and has left its action in the Roman era, the Middle Ages, the Italian Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution.
Not only that, but S.H.I.E.L.D. has also found numerous branches of the Assassin Brotherhood that are now spread across the world.
For example, the Paris Assassin Brotherhood, the Egyptian Assassin Brotherhood, the Persian Assassin Brotherhood, the Greek Assassin Brotherhood, the British Assassin Brotherhood and other branches.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has found a lot of information about the Assassin Brotherhood, it is limited to this.
For more confidential information, none of S.H.I.E.L.D. has investigated it.
In fact, this can’t blame S.H.I.E.L.D.
Compared with the Knights Templar, the Assassin Brotherhood is not only more secretive, but also less staffed, and there is no shadow company such as Abstergo Industries and Pharmaceuticals.
Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to conduct a detailed investigation of the Assassin Brotherhood, they could not find a suitable target.
Through investigations of the Knights Templar and the Assassin Brotherhood, S.H.I.E.L.D. knew of the existence of the Pieces of Eden, and that the Golden Apple was one of the Pieces of Eden.
S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to have done a lot of research on the Assassin Brotherhood and the Knights Templar, but there is absolutely no information Russell wants.
Golden Apple 3 and Golden Apple 5 were in the White House and NSNA respectively, and he also knew this information.
However, like S.H.I.E.L.D., he did not know the exact locations of Golden Apple 3 and Golden Apple 5.
He thought that S.H.I.E.L.D., which had a mysterious obsession with collecting various magical items, would know the specific whereabouts of one or two pieces of the Garden of Eden.
However, it turns out that he overestimated S.H.I.E.L.D.
In terms of intelligence, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn’t know as much as him.
At least he knew that Callum had a golden apple in his hand.
Although this golden apple is not any of the golden apples 1 to 6, there is no doubt that the golden apple in Callum’s hand is also one of the Pieces of Eden.
If he remembers correctly, the golden apple in Callum’s hand is called “Aguilar’s Apple of Eden”, and its former owners include Muhammad XII, Thomas de Torquemada, Aguirre Lal de Neha, Christopher Columbus, Alan Riggin, Callum Lynch.
Among them, Alan Riggin, the owner of Abstergo Industrial Pharmaceuticals, should be the one with the shortest time.
Alan Rigkin only owned it for a few days, and was killed by Callum in front of everyone’s eyes. Losing this golden apple also lost his own life.
After browsing the information obtained on the 3rd from the internal database of the New York branch of the SHIELD, Russell turned off the holographic screen in front of him and thought seriously.
First of all, Golden Apple No. 1 and Golden Apple No. 4 do not need to be considered.
Golden Apple No. 1 has been destroyed. As for Golden Apple No. 4, its whereabouts are currently unknown, and no one knows where it is.
The last owner of the Golden Apple 4 was the famous head of state.
After the death of the Führer, the Golden Apple 4 disappeared.
Then, although Golden Apple 3 and Golden Apple 5 know the approximate locations, it is not an easy task to find them.
If it were easy, S.H.I.E.L.D. would have found these two golden apples in the White House and NSNA long ago.
The four golden apples, No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5, are either missing, damaged, or the exact location is unknown, so they are not suitable as targets.
After eliminating the four golden apples, the only ones left to be good at are the “Aguilar’s Apple of Eden” in Callum’s hands, and the Golden Apple No. 2 in the hands of the Knights Templar.
Of course, in addition to the two golden apples, Kassandra, known as one of the pioneers of the “Assassin Brotherhood”, also has eight golden apples in her hands.
Kassandra, born in 458 BC, nicknamed the Falconer and the Zephyr.
She was the granddaughter of King Leonidas of Sparta, daughter of Myrrine and sister of Alexios.
His adoptive father was the Spartan general Nicolaos, and his biological father was the ancient Greek scholar Pythagoras.
Blessed by the scepter of Hermes granted by her father Pythagoras, she could overcome the laws of nature and survive for more than two thousand years without changing her appearance.
Russell recalled Cassandra’s message in his mind, and then decisively gave up the idea of looking for Cassandra.
The eight golden apples in Cassandra’s hands have probably been destroyed.
Russell didn’t want to waste time looking for Cassandra when she wasn’t sure if she still had the Golden Apple.
Unless he wants the scepter of Hermes in Kassandra’s hands, he will go looking for Kassandra hidden in the lost city of Atlantis.
But now, he is not particularly eager for the scepter of Hermes.
So instead of spending time looking for Kassandra, grab it directly from Callum or the Knights Templar.
After all, Callum and the Knights Templar are much easier to find.
After thinking for a while, Russell decisively gave up thinking.
forget about it!
It’s useless to think too much!
Now that we can be sure that Callum has a golden apple in his hand, we should start directly with Callum.
As for the other pieces of Eden, I will talk about it when I have a chance.
“No. 3, check Callum’s current whereabouts.”
Russell instructed No. 3.
“Okay, sir!”
No. 3 replied immediately.
Although Callum has a ‘stealth technique” that reduces his sense of existence, the Brotherhood’s stealth technique does not have much effect on No. 3, who has no real perception.
Artificial intelligence doesn’t care if you cast stealth or not.
As long as you are caught by surveillance equipment, it is useless even if you are truly invisible.
After all, in addition to ordinary monitoring equipment, there are infrared monitoring equipment.
After instructing No. 3, Russell has no plans to stay in the office.
It’s almost time for the day’s work to end here.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it tomorrow!
After confirming that no traces of Ellie’s perfume were left on her body, Russell flew out the window and began to return to the apartment.
the next day.
After having Diana’s loving breakfast in the apartment, he came to the office.
The first thing to solve today is the press conference of Peter joining Zhenglian.
wrong!
To be precise, it is the conference where Spider-Man joins Zhenglian.
On the 3rd, I contacted the major media in New York City yesterday and sent the invitation letter for the press conference.
ten o’clock in the morning.
Peter and Gwen, who were wearing Spider-Man suits and Spider-Woman suits, came to the Octopus headquarters and came to the conference room where the press conference was held.
Under the auspices of Russell, the press conference where Peter joined Zhenglian officially started.
Although this is not the first time he has hosted a press conference, the reporters at the scene still showed puzzled expressions after seeing that the new member of Zhenglian was a child.
Peter is now wearing a hood, but his childish voice betrays him.
As long as you listen to his voice, you can know that he is not young at all, and most likely is a minor.
For this, Russell was of course prepared early in the morning.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t let Peter introduce himself in a normal voice.
After a lot of tongue-in-cheek explanation, Spider-Man’s underage thing was perfectly rounded up by him.
Of course, the reporters on the scene were not idiots either.
Impossible what he said ~www.readmtl.com~ they believed.
However, after he raised the banner of political correctness, which is all-powerful, anti-discrimination, the reporters at the scene tacitly chose to shut up.
No one has ever ruled that minors can’t be superheroes.
In fact, the most recognized superhero is underage.
After solving the problem of Spider-Man being a minor, the rest of the things went smoothly.
Spider-Man, who officially joined the Zhenglian, became the seventh member of the Zhenglian registered.
Russell, Hulk, Gwen, Kara, Godzilla, Grendel, Peter, although there are not many members of Zhenglian, the members are not generally complicated.
Compared with the Fantastic Four, the superhero team also in New York, Zhenglian is even more abnormal in terms of members.
Hulk will not say it, after all, the Stone Man doesn’t look like a normal person.
But in addition to Hulk, Zhenglian also has Godzilla and Grendel, two undeniably non-human beings.
