Chapter 906: Raging Waves in the Scarlet Sea (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 take pictures.
Spider-Man, 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.
Our aliens, then 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. Actually, I don't really like the word super. 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 factor."
"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 rules and regulations. Even firearms cannot exceed 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 am 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 'intention', 'ability' and 'image'. 'Intention' 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 the standards of ordinary people, the 'image' is the image of the most classic 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 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, why did you forget 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 similarly, 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 no flaws in their ability to imitate you, but the problem is that your ability itself has certain flaws." Nick held his chin with his hand and said: "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 biggest flaw in the situation is the will."
"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 behavioral logic of the Skrulls, what will happen next?
He ignored the tragedy, 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 that I don't care, I was just two seconds late, and those reporters would seize on this and make a big deal about it, either saying that I reacted slowly, or that I hesitated and was 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 ignore everything and just swing by, then Spider-Man's reputation will be ruined. Just the group of people on the forum will start yelling and swearing. 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, 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 want to control it. If they want to use their 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 did not pretend to be you is
Being crazy means that they want your social status."
"In this case, they must maintain this social identity and maintain the good image of superheroes."
"Then, their image is the same as yours, their abilities are the same as 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
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, then 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 in the open, but as long as they are not discovered, it will be fine. There is someone who can control psychic abilities secretly.
For people, their plans will be much more convenient.”
"Then if they really try to 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's movements froze in place, and he said, "Oh God! Isn't one Schiller enough? Another one that is exactly the same?!"
"It's not like you haven't seen more Schillers." Nick shrugged slightly and said, "Have you forgotten the last SHIELD consultation? At least dozens of Schillers came that time, right?
"
Stark covered his forehead, Steve covered his eyes, and Peter sighed deeply. It was obvious that all three of them had lingering fears about that time.
"The problem is, if there is really a Schiller who is controlled by them, wouldn't it be..." Stark frowned deeply, seeming to be very worried. He said, "What if Schiller is really loyal to the Skrulls?"
,Then what are we going to do..."
Nick showed a very bright smile and said: "Keep watching, you will know soon."
"Doctor Schiller, you haven't been back to Arkham Sanitarium for a long time, right? You can go back and take care of the recent work first, and then we can 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 and headed deeper into the secret laboratory.
In the laboratory, a green-skinned alien had just walked out of the life-sustaining cabin. The green-skinned man saluted Nick with a strange salute. Nick nodded and asked him: "After such contact with Schiller, what happened?"
After a long time, can you complete the disguise?"
"His memory is a bit complicated, and I can't completely copy it." The alien showed an expression of embarrassment that was visible to the naked eye. He said, "I'm not sure if I have copied all the memories, but as of now, the trajectory of life is
There is no big problem with the logic of memory..."
"That's it. The situation is more complicated than we thought. Accidents are happening everywhere. We need more manpower, so prepare to disguise."
The green-skinned Skrull nodded, walked back to the survival chamber, closed his eyes, and then his appearance began to gradually change to Schiller's.
Various memories hovered in his mind, gradually integrating with his own memories.
But at this moment, certain details in Schiller's memory were magnified, and countless words were poured directly into the mind of the Skrull.
The copied files contained a very special "virus" that instantly penetrated into every corner of the system.
The highly contagious words and examples completely shattered the entire worldview of the Skrulls, like the roar of the Red Sea and the crashing waves on the shore.
The profound understanding, experience and implementation of the theory are 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.
