Chapter 140: Everyone in the world has been changed?
At this point, Pietro pointed at one of the gangsters and said, "He was not with the four criminals at the time, but after knowing that we had arrested them, he took the initiative to contact us and asked us to arrest him."
"Even so, he is still complaining that our investigation was not thorough enough. How could we let such a heinous criminal go?"
After hearing what Wanda’s team said, Qin Yang walked towards Xiao Hei who was locked in a special cell.
Looking at Xiao Hei in front of him, he was smiling brightly at this moment.
It seems that being in prison is something to be proud of.
He immediately used the Mind Stone to control his thoughts: "Why did you take the initiative to contact the Avengers to arrest you?"
Under the control of the Mind Gem, Xiao Hei faced Qin Yang's questions.
I couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Isn't this what we should do? Dear Mr. Flashman, since we have done something that harms society, we should be punished!"
"In addition, considering that I have killed someone before, Mr. Flashman, I request that I be detained here until death comes."
"Although this cannot make up for the crimes I have committed."
"But, at least this will allow me to get the punishment I deserve!"
Listening to Xiao Hei's answer, Qin Yang discovered through the Mind Gem that what he said was actually the truth.
Although there is a trace of struggle and pain deep in the soul.
But Qin Yang discovered that he did not lie and did not have any conspiracy.
He then used the Mind Stone to try it again on four other super-powered criminals.
Qin Yang discovered that the same was true for the other four people with super powers.
This surprised Qin Yang a little.
If they really had such a high level of awareness, then why would they rob a bank?
"See, I told you they were really weird."
Looking at Qin Yang, Pietro spread his hands and said, "You know, after they accidentally gained superpowers, they have always claimed to be god-like existences, but now..."
"I don't think they can't bear the condemnation in their hearts, so they come to us to surrender themselves!"
Hearing what Pietro said, Qin Yang nodded.
This is indeed very wrong.
But Qin Yang didn’t discover anything through the Mind Gem.
At the same time, Jessica and her trio also felt something was wrong.
"Damn it, what happened these days?"
Looking at the guy on the street, he was helping an old man cross the road.
Jessica said in surprise: "If I remember correctly, isn't this guy a gangster from the Digital Gang?"
"Since when did these damn gangsters help old ladies cross the street? And he was so patient? Oh my god, look, he actually handed the money in his pocket to a homeless person?"
Hearing Jessica's surprised tone, Iceman Bobby beside her also said: "It's really incredible."
"I have been tracking a group of flour dealers these days. According to intelligence, they are planning to trade today."
"I originally planned to catch them all when they were trading, but when I got there I found that they actually poured all the flour into the sewer with a look of disgust on their faces."
"I even donated all the cash used for the transaction to the Children's Disease Treatment Fund."
At this point, Bobby shrugged and said, "The flour vendors will all wake up and become conscientious? This seems even more unreliable than a fairy tale!"
Listening to the two people's words, Peter Parker, who was sitting on the roof, swung his legs and said, "Anyway, I haven't completed the task of doing three good things this morning."
"Someone's cat was lost, and without me even having to help, a policeman took the initiative to help bring it back."
"If a wallet falls on the ground, someone will return it to the owner. I finally saw a group of gang members catching a guy. I thought they were going to do something bad."
"It turned out that the person they caught was a drug addict. They just kindly sent him to a drug rehabilitation center, hoping that he could get rid of his drug addiction and become a normal person again."
At this point, Peter Parker took off his spider mask and looked at the two of them and said, "The worst thing is that even the Daily Bugle stopped criticizing us. Instead, they praised the good things we have done."
“Oh my god, if it doesn’t slander our Daily Bugle, is it still the Daily Bugle?”
Hearing that Peter Parker also felt something was wrong.
Jessica thought for a while and said, "The underground godfather of the New York gang is Kingpin. Now these gang members have suddenly become like this. Could it be that they are under Kingpin's command?"
“Is it because next year is an election year that Kingpin wants to run for mayor of New York City?”
"Who knows?"
In response to Jessica's guess, Bobby shrugged and said, "Although it's very wrong, I like to see the world change for the better."
After hearing what Bobby said, Peter Parker nodded and said, "I would also like the world to become a better place, even if I can't be Spider-Man in the future and can't continue to be a good neighbor to the citizens of New York."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Jessica Drew raised her hand and gently rubbed Peter Parker's head.
Although she didn't know what exactly happened, Jessica was not so optimistic!
Afternoon, inside the Avengers base.
Standing in front of the big screen, looking at the various data compiled by Jarvis.
Tony Stark frowned and said, "Something is wrong. This is so abnormal."
"Whether it's the superpowered criminals who surrendered voluntarily, or the changes in the gang members that Jessica mentioned, including the statistics of the number of people who surrendered and the crime rate in the past week."
Pointing at the polarized data model on the screen.
Tony Stark said seriously, "Look, this week, starting from five days ago to be exact, the New York police have received more self-surrendering cases from prisoners than they have received in the entire past year."
"And during these five days, the crime rate in New York dropped drastically. For five whole days, there was not a single crime in New York, and the same was true in other states."
“Even survey data from other countries shows this!”
Turned around and looked at Qin Yang and Steve.
Tony Stark frowned and said, "FUXX, is this still the America I know? Is this still the world I live in? This is too ridiculous!"
Tony Stark looked a little out of control.
Steve raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder: "If the data compiled by Jarvis is true, it's horrible."
"It's not that having no crime rate is bad, but under what circumstances would it be possible for the entire world to have no crime incidents at all?"
"Besides, even the gang members and the vicious flour vendors have turned over a new leaf. To be honest, I would rather believe this is a dream than believe it is real!"
"Qin, what do you think?"
Hearing Steve's question, Qin Yang crossed his arms and smiled: "If this world is really so beautiful, then I think there are only two possibilities!"
"What's possible?"
Hearing Qin Yang's words, Tony and Steve looked at him at the same time!
"One possibility is that we are not currently living in the real world, but a certain god has sent us to a virtual world without our knowledge!"
Having said that, Qin Yang raised his golden gauntlets, and the next second the energy of the five Infinity Stones was released at the same time.
Seeing that nothing happened around him, Qin Yang put away the golden gauntlet: "It seems that we are still in the real world!"
"What about the second possibility?"
Seeing Qin Yang's actions, Tony Stark frowned and asked.
"The second situation is even more terrifying. Someone has changed the minds of people all over the world, so that they will not have any evil thoughts from the bottom of their hearts!"
Looking at Steve and Tony, Qin Yang said seriously: "This second possibility is even more terrifying than the first possibility."
"After all, being able to quietly change the perception of people all over the world without us noticing, what a terrifying ability this must be!"
Hearing Qin Yang say this, Steve Rogers took a deep breath and said, "I propose that the Avengers enter a state of emergency!"
"I agree!"
Facing Steve's proposal, Tony Stark agreed without hesitation: "No matter what the situation is, we must investigate it thoroughly!"
As the three of them unanimously agreed to activate the Avengers state of emergency, Jarvis immediately sent a message to all Avengers members.
Over Texas.
Flying in the air wearing armor, War Machine Rhodes had just completed the mission of arresting a black market arms dealer.
"I said this black market arms dealer is easy to deal with. There's no need for the three of us to go out at the same time."
As he was speaking, a message from Jarvis suddenly appeared on the armor screen.
After opening the message, Rhode frowned as he looked at the red font: "Everyone, the Avengers have activated the emergency plan. We can rush back to the Avengers as quickly as possible!"
As he spoke, Rhode immediately turned the armor around and flew towards the Avengers base. San Francisco.
"Yes, it was Flash himself who recruited me at the time."
Looking at his daughter's new friends, Scott Lang sat among the children and said proudly, "You have to know that this is the famous Flash, the most powerful superhero on Earth."
"Can you get me a flash man's autograph then?"
Looking at Scott Lang, one of the children asked expectantly, "I really admire him. Of course, it doesn't matter if I can't do it. I think he must be very busy."
"Of course my dad can get you an autograph!"
After hearing what his friend said, Peanut said proudly, "My dad is also a superhero from the Avengers. There is nothing he can't do!"
Listening to his daughter's proud tone, Scott Lang smiled and said, "Yes, Qin and I are friends. Not only Qin, but also Captain America and Iron Man."
As he was speaking, there was a sudden sound in Scott Lang's hand.
Picking up the phone and taking a look, Scott frowned, but soon smiled at his daughter and said, "Dad has to go to work, Peanut, see you next week."
"Are you going to save the world again? Come on, Dad, fight off all those nasty aliens."
After rubbing his daughter's head lovingly, Scott Lang stood up and left the room.
Looking at his ex-wife and her current husband who invited him to stay, Scott declined the invitation with some surprise.
For some reason, Scott Lang always felt that these two people were weird.
At almost the same time, whether they were members who were on missions outside or those who were on vacation.
After receiving the information that the Avengers had entered a state of emergency, he immediately dropped everything and rushed back to the base.
Two o'clock in the afternoon, in the Avengers meeting room.
Looking at the gathered people, Steve repeated the three people's speculations with a serious expression.
"Oh my god, I told you there was something wrong between my ex-wife and her husband."
Listening to Steve's speculation, Scott Lang frowned and said, "Not only did they invite me to have dinner together in the evening, they even said that if I missed Casey, I could move in with them in the future."
"Oh my god, but I just felt something was very wrong, I didn't expect... Damn it!"
Hearing what Scott Lang said, Jessica also spoke up: "Bobby and I have rarely met people who need help these two days because those gang members have taken away the jobs of our good neighbors."
"So I agree with Qin's speculation. Something is going wrong with this world!"
"What the hell!"
Leaning back in her chair, Natasha frowned and said, "If someone could really control the minds of billions of people, that would be terrifying!"
"Even though he is making everyone better now, if one day he feels that the world full of beauty remains unchanged and is ready to see what the world full of sin is like, what should we do?"
"Let the people of Earth kill each other?"
At this point, Natasha looked at Qin Yang and said, "We absolutely cannot let billions of people on Earth become puppets controlled by this guy."
"Qin, do you have any clues?"
"no!"
Facing Natasha's question, Qin Yang shook his head: "The only thing that can be confirmed is that according to the data provided by Jarvis, everything happened five days ago."
"And the Avengers members are not under mind control."
At this point, Qin Yang turned his head and looked at Steve: "Steve, you and Tony go to the Magic Temple. Maybe besides us Avengers, Strange might be a surprise."
"Wanda and I will go to S.H.I.E.L.D. If Lu Dan and the others are also controlled, then we have to find a way to contact Carol and see if we can get any useful clues from her."
"After all, she has been in the universe for so long, she should know a lot of things!"
Hearing Qin Yang's words, everyone nodded immediately.
Washington, inside S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Qin Yang and Wanda appear at the headquarters, Hill stepped forward enthusiastically: "Is there anything you need our help with? If so, SHIELD will definitely do its best to help."
Looking at Hill's bright smile, Qin Yang and Wanda looked at each other.
It is obvious that the Hill in front of him should be the same as those super-powered criminals who surrendered themselves, even his personality has been changed.
After all, in all these years of contact, Hill had never had such a brilliant smile.
In the elevator, I listened to Hill enthusiastically introducing the various departments of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the latest weapons developed.
Qin Yang used the Mind Gem to test her and found that her mental state seemed very normal.
It was as if she was born to be so enthusiastic and cheerful.
This is very wrong.
However, when Qin Yang used the energy of the soul gem to cover Hill.
Hill, who was originally enthusiastic and cheerful, suddenly became dull in expression.
Although he quickly regained his enthusiasm and continued talking.
But Qin Yang could see a hint of distortion on her smiling face.
Moreover, her eyes began to open and close rapidly, as if she was conveying some kind of information to Qin Yang.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yang immediately recorded the frequency of her blinking.
After more than ten seconds, Hill's blinking frequency returned to normal.
The elevator door opened and the three of them came to Nick Fury's office.
"Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D., Chin, Wanda. It's such a pleasure to meet you. The last time we met was when Denmark was destroyed."
"Seriously, Denmark was destroyed"
Looking at the boiled egg, he was very enthusiastically preparing to give himself a hug.
Qin Yang also used the soul gem to cover him.
After being enveloped by the Soul Gem, the movement of Lu Dan's arms outstretched paused for a moment, which was exactly the same as Hill's reaction.
But he was tapping his head rhythmically with his fingers.
Ten seconds later, the boiled egg, which had returned to its previous state, smiled and said, "Denmark was destroyed and more than five million people died. I really feel sad. Even if it was for the safety of the whole world."
As he spoke, a line of tears shed from Nick Fury's only remaining eye.
Damn it, this is definitely not the black-salted egg I know!
"Give me Carol Danvers' contact information. We have something to talk to her about."
Looking at the crying boiled egg, Qin Yang didn't want to stay here any longer.
"No problem at all."
Hearing Qin Yang's request, Ludan handed the pager to Qin Yang without hesitation.
Inside the Avengers base.
Watching the actions of Nick Fury and Hill at this moment in the video.
Natasha explained: "This is the Morse code used exclusively by S.H.I.E.L.D. It is an upgrade of the original Morse code."
"The messages these two conveyed were similar. They were both signals for help. And based on what they conveyed, they said their consciousness was trapped in their bodies, and they were very clear about what they were saying and doing the whole time."
“But what they say or do is not under their control.”
"What do you mean?"
After hearing Natasha's explanation, Tony Stark was puzzled: "The mind is clear, but the actions and words are out of control? Like a puppet?"
"Almost the same. Just like you have a wealth of fighting skills and experience, there are many ways to dodge the enemy's punches."
"But your brain may figure out how to dodge, but your body can't react at all. It may even go against your thoughts and take the enemy's punch with your face."
Listen to Natasha's explanation.
Steve crossed his arms and looked at Qin Yang: "So, Qin, are you sure they are not being mind-controlled?"
"I always feel like this is exactly the same as the mind control introduced by Professor X!"
