Chapter 45: Tricking S.H.I.E.L.D.

Mechanical life form?

Even if you are an avant-garde person like Howard Stark, it is a bit difficult to digest this concept. After all, carbon-based life is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Silicon-based life is not that easy to understand.

"OK, Rorschach, even if this is a mechanical life form as you said, how did you discover this?"

Howard Stark once again asked such a crucial question.

"As I said, I feel it." Rorschach spread his hands.

"feel?"

"Yes, Mr. Stark, I know you may not understand it very well, but my perception is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people. I believe you also know that I am not an ordinary person."

Even if Rorschach explained it this way, it was still very difficult for Howard Stark to understand.

In his understanding, it is not an ordinary person, it is a situation like Captain America. All aspects of the body's attributes have been enhanced, and that's it.

Rather than having some weird abilities that others don't have.

"Mr. Stark, don't you and Agent Carter both want to know why I am different from ordinary people?"

Rorschach thought for a while and decided to reveal his identity to Howard Stark.

"Of course, but I hope your answer this time is not 'born with' or 'gifted'." Howard Stark said helplessly.

"It's a pity, but this is actually the fact." Luo Xia nodded.

"Rorschach, stop making trouble, now is not the time..." Howard Stark felt a little pain in his head.

"No, Mr. Stark, you don't understand what I mean. My abilities come from my genetic mutation." Rorschach explained to the core this time.

Gene mutation?

Howard Stark raised his eyebrows.

With his knowledge, he naturally understands this term, and he also knows that mutations will indeed bring some differences to people.

"The genetic mutation has given me a stronger physical fitness, and at the same time, it has also given me some instincts that others do not have, so..."

"So, you can detect the vitality in that Cadillac?"

"That's right! Charles Xavier, he is an expert in genetic variation. Some of his papers are very enlightening. I suggest you read them. I like his name for our kind of people, mutants."

Mutant?

Howard Stark remembered this word at once, and it can be said that this word summarizes the meaning behind it extremely accurately.

Mutated humans?

Wait a moment!

Howard Stark suddenly caught something and hurriedly stared at Rorschach and asked for confirmation: "'A kind of person'? Rorschach, are there many people like you?"

"Of course!" Luo Xia nodded with a serious face. "Although genetic mutation is a small probability event, the human base is so huge that there will always be many people like us."

This is important information!

Howard Stark took this to heart.

Although this was the first time he came into contact with this information, Rorschach's statement had no logical loopholes and was easy to verify. Howard Stark temporarily adopted Rorschach's statement.

Since then, the ins and outs of the "Cadillac-turned-robot" incident have been clear and complete, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Mr. Stark, have you heard of Megatron?"

Rorschach suddenly looked at Howard Stark and asked.

"No, why do you ask?" Howard Stark was stunned by Rorschach's question.

"Before I killed the mechanical life form, he once said, 'Megatron will definitely come back.'" Rorschach said to Howard Stark with a serious face.

Of course, he just made this up purely to get Howard Stark to investigate Megatron.

And Megatron is the key to finding the source of fire!

"Megatron will definitely make a comeback?"

Howard tasted it carefully and immediately remembered this sentence deeply in his heart.

The amount of information contained in this sentence without beginning or end is actually very huge.

First of all, this Megatron is undoubtedly the same mechanical life form as that mechanical life form.

This shows that there is more than one mechanical life form!

The comeback shows that Megatron has failed before, but he has been holding back his big moves and preparing for a big one.

Although it is unknown why Megatron failed and what will happen to Howard Stark when he comes back, it doesn't look like a good thing in any way.

Must be vigilant.

"Does it say anything besides that?"

Howard Starr asked, staring at Rorschach again.

"It asked me if there was any place on Earth that was very cold."

Rorschach thought for a while and said to Howard Stark again.

This is naturally the plan to guide SHIELD to investigate the North and South Pole.

Although Rorschach, who has the power of clairvoyance, can go to the Hoover Dam to personally scan whether there is Megatron inside, the line on SHIELD's side still has to be laid.

After all, he couldn't just come back and fool SHIELD again after discovering that there was nothing under the dam, right?

The best way is to use a two-pronged approach. He looks for opportunities to go to the dam to have a look, and leaves the two poles to SHIELD for verification.

"A very cold place?"

Howard Stark was stunned for a moment when he heard it. It was all such a mess, and he was banging his hammer here and there, completely confused.

However, Howard Stark still carefully recorded this sentence and handed it over to the decryption team for analysis.

"Rorschach, thank you very much for your cooperation!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Stark, this is what I should do."

After understanding the situation, Howard Stark personally sent Rorschach to the gate of the base.

"Mr. Rorschach, please get in the car."

Jarvis, who had been waiting on the side after receiving the order, immediately came forward respectfully and opened the door for Rorschach.

Although he didn't understand what happened, he could see at a glance that Howard Stark obviously valued Rorschach a little more.

"Jarvis, you've worked hard."

"You're welcome, Mr. Rorschach."

"Then Mr. Stark, goodbye."

"Goodbye!"

Rorschach waved to Howard Stark and said goodbye to each other.

Then he got into the car, and Jarvis drove him out of the base.

"Notify Mr. Carter and Mr. Phillips to come over, and tell them that I have something important to discuss in a meeting!"

After Jarvis sent Rorschach away from the base, Howard Stark immediately gave a solemn order to a secretary beside him.

Chester Phillips, his name is naturally not as famous as Agent Carter and Howard Stark, but he is the last of the three founders of SHIELD.

He is also the first and only director of the Strategic Science Corps, and the boss of Captain America and Peggy Carter.

In the final battle between Captain America and Peggy Carter against the Red Skull, it was this guy who personally drove the two of them "on the road".

His family has a complex network in the domestic military and has a huge influence.

In general, he is a low-key and powerful person.
