Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

He then stared at Deadpool on the nearest rooftop, focused his mind and gave the order. The next second, Deadpool jumped down from the rooftop and stood upright in front of him like a well-trained soldier.

As Deadpool obeyed his commands, Lu Mingfei confirmed one thing with great astonishment—

He seems to be able to control these four Deadpools?

Chapter 107: Bloodline Locking Agent and Unfreezing Captain America

Inside Tony's home, in the laboratory.

Although the Deadpool test subjects escaped from the lab, the damage inside the lab was not severe because Tony lured them out by donning his armor at the start of the battle.

The four Deadpools displayed considerable destructive power, especially the chimpanzee, whose attacks were accompanied by powerful shockwaves. Although the power would rapidly decrease a few meters away, within the range of the shockwaves, even the walls of Tony's house, which were made of the highest strength, were as fragile as foam in the face of the shockwaves.

Of course, Tony wasn't incapable of taking them down, and the Iron Man suit wasn't to be trifled with either. But according to Tony, after advancing the experiments from the mouse stage to the primate stage, most of the experiments had failed. These four successful subjects had consumed a lot of his time and effort.

With Tony's wealth, he wouldn't even care if his house was blown up, and if his supercars or luxury cars exploded, he'd just treat it as fireworks. But these experimental subjects really can't be blown up casually; he's been researching them for a long time.

However, capturing these experimental subjects alive would be quite difficult. Although the Iron Man suit is equipped with electric shock paralysis bullets and hypnotic injections, both are designed for humans. They were originally installed to quickly subdue criminals who did not deserve to die, and they are very effective at stunning people. But when used on Deadpool, the dosage is not enough.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei arrived in time, otherwise Tony would have had no choice but to destroy them.

Now, the four Deadpools stand in a row in front of Lu Mingfei and Tony in the laboratory, motionless like well-trained soldiers.

Lu Mingfei also tried it. Perhaps because they were created through his blood, he was able to control these dead servants—something that only high-ranking pure-blooded dragons could do.

However, his control is relatively inconvenient. He needs to look at Deadpool to give commands, but there is no need to make eye contact. As long as he can look at Deadpool, it is enough. It is similar to using a remote control to control an air conditioner. The infrared emitter needs to be aimed at the target. However, the power of dragons is basically determined by bloodline. I wonder if he can control these Deadpools without eye contact, just by using mental pressure, when he has activated his potential, like a pure-blooded dragon.

In addition, Deadpool will carry out the orders given by him, but they cannot be complicated, otherwise Deadpool will "not understand". Also, if Deadpool completes an order and he does not give a new order or look at Deadpool for a long time, Deadpool will gradually get out of control.

Under Lu Mingfei's orders, the Deadpools lined up and underwent detailed full-body scans in Tony's newly built large scanner. Lu Mingfei had previously observed that these Deadpools, whether chimpanzees or rhesus monkeys, all exhibited similar characteristics after becoming Deadpools.

Its pupils turned gold, its overall size increased several times, and its muscles became bulging. Although its fur was still there, fine scales had grown underneath it.

Chimpanzees are over two meters tall, and rhesus monkeys, which were originally around half a meter tall, have grown to around 1.2 meters. Although they are still a bit short from an adult's perspective, their strength is unmatched by ordinary beasts.

However, after conducting detailed tests on these Deadpools, Lu Mingfei discovered that their physical abilities were not actually that exaggerated. Although they far surpassed those of ferocious beasts, they were by no means outside the category of carbon-based life forms.

The fact that they could demolish Tony's house into ruins, throw steel bars nearly 100 meters into the air, pierce helicopter windows, and kill someone along the way, is because they were empowered by special forces.

In short, these dead servants can unleash words of power.

The gorilla's Word of Power is suspected to be Sequence 17 "Shadow Thunder," which creates an explosive shockwave by compressing air. In his world, its power is equivalent to a hand grenade without fragments and at high temperatures. However, it is similar in this world, except that its power has increased from that of a hand grenade to that of a mortar.

The monkey's power of throwing steel bars is suspected to be Sequence 41 "Yin Flow". It can construct extremely thin but extremely strong airflow channels. Although it has no destructive power itself, it can super-accelerate lightweight weapons that conform to aerodynamics, resulting in amazing destructive power. Moreover, it is highly controllable. The disadvantage is that the weapon must be lightweight, so it is most vulnerable to heavy armor, just like Susie's Sword of Conquest. But in this world, it can be used to accelerate steel bars. Not to mention heavy armor, it can even pierce through thin armor.

This contradicts what Lu Mingfei knew. All the information he obtained from Kassel College stated that Deadpool had completely fallen and lost his mind, retaining only the instinct to thirst for dragon blood and kill. Although his physical strength and recovery ability had been greatly improved, he would no longer release any words of power.

Students do encounter enemies who can unleash their power of words when carrying out missions, but strictly speaking, these enemies are "out-of-control hybrids" or "corrupted hybrids." Perhaps their bloodlines have become unstable, or perhaps they have lost themselves in the power and superiority brought by their bloodlines, leading them to cross moral boundaries. In short, they succumb to their desires, treating ordinary people as lambs and seeing themselves as wolves. They act wantonly against the weak, and rape and kidnapping are commonplace.

In the eyes of the academy, this kind of person is no different from Deadpool. The students are taught that "eliminating this kind of scum is the same as eliminating Deadpool," and they will not hesitate to kill them.

However, from an objective point of view, although the behavior of these corrupted hybrids is quite beastly, they are still hybrids rather than dead servants. Therefore, they can also release words of power in battle. Senior Brother Chu once said that he had eliminated a corrupted hybrid who could release the word of power "Deep Blood". The other party killed a pregnant woman and cut open the baby in a hospital in Brooklyn, New York, suspected of using it for alchemical experiments. He was caught by Chu after he infiltrated the hospital and killed him.

All of this proves that Deadpool cannot use Words of Power; only corrupted hybrids can use them...

Surely these apes and monkeys aren't actually hybrids, right? Lu Mingfei felt he couldn't quite accept this premise.

But after a series of investigations, he became certain that these four things were indeed Deadpools, and definitely not some kind of hybrid. As for why they could release Word of Power, he could only attribute it to the difference in their worlds.

After all, he could release Words of Power much more easily in Tony's world. Perhaps for this reason, Deadpool, who couldn't release Words of Power in his world, could use Words of Power, which required thought to release, as an instinctive ability in this world, and with considerable power.

Of course, none of that matters now; Lu Mingfei is more concerned about something else.

"So, Tony, do you have a way to make a drug that can restore them to their original state or reverse their Deadpool transformation?" Lu Mingfei looked at Tony expectantly.

After Lu Mingfei subdued Deadpool, he and Tony received the data sent by S.H.I.E.L.D., then put the data aside and began to study Deadpool overnight, and now they have made some initial progress.

What Lu Mingfei cares about most is whether Tony can reverse the Deadpool transformation.

In his world, hybrids are characterized by their heritability. Apart from a very small number of genetic mutations in ordinary people, hybrids are basically family-based. Because of this, most hybrids have their own family members or even clans. After they become Deadpools, as long as their relationship with their relatives was not strained before, their relatives are generally willing to go to great lengths to save them. Unfortunately, there is no such method in the hybrid world at present. For relatives who have become Deadpools, the only way to find relief is to kill them with great pain.

Incidentally, although hybrids are mostly family-based, most of the Death Servants and Fallen Ones dealt with by the Academy were isolated individuals without families. It's not that the Academy is cowardly and afraid to deal with Death Servants and Fallen Ones with families; in fact, quite the opposite is true. Once a hybrid family in Europe has a Fallen One, they must deal with him as soon as possible. If they really can't bear to kill him, they must at least keep him locked up so he can't go out and cause trouble for others. Otherwise, once a Fallen One is caught and killed by the Academy, the Academy's professionals will go to his family to have a "heart-to-heart talk" with the patriarch or elders.

Lu Mingfei's idea was simple: hybrids also value family ties, and every hybrid family is incredibly wealthy. Once he establishes himself in his own world and gains enough power, he can then reveal the method to reverse Deadpool's transformation and basically make money while lying down—provided that he himself is strong enough to dispel others' thoughts of forcibly taking the method.

However, it turned out he was overthinking it. Faced with his expectations, Tony simply shook his head: "No, I've checked. Deadpool transformation affects the brain, causing structural changes in brain proteins and neurons. Simply put, during the Deadpool transformation process, the target will gradually experience brain death, and at the same time, a new brain will be generated. Once the Deadpool transformation is complete, the target's brain will have little to do with what it used to be. Even if I can reverse this change at the genetic level, the target is already dead when the brain dies. Even if the Deadpool can turn back into a human, the newborn will be a different human being, with its brain like a blank sheet of paper, and all previous memories and thoughts will be gone."

After a pause, Tony concluded, "If I had to put it in perspective, reversing Deadpool's transformation is like bringing someone who's missing a head back to life. Instead of researching any kind of potion, I'd rather invent a time machine; that's much more reliable."

"Then can you invent a time machine?" Lu Mingfei asked, even more eager.

"Do you really think I'm a god?" Tony rolled his eyes. "Watch less sci-fi movies. How could a time machine be invented just like that?"

"Your miniature controlled nuclear fusion technology is pretty sci-fi too," Lu Mingfei retorted.

“In short, although these Deadpools are failures, they are still very helpful for advancing research. If we can create Deadpools, the next step is to create hybrids, as long as I can limit the corrosive effect of dragon blood on living things,” Tony stroked his chin and looked at Lu Mingfei, “It is impossible to reverse the Deadpool transformation, but I plan to develop a bloodline locking agent next.”

"A bloodline locking agent?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"Simply put, it's about locking in the bloodline, freezing the current bloodline state of the hybrid, so that while the possibility of bloodline enhancement is lost, it's also impossible for them to degenerate into Deadpools," Tony said. "The reason these Deadpools failed is because the corrosiveness of dragon blood is too strong, so my next research goal is to limit the corrosiveness of dragon blood."

“That’s good too,” Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly, “I reckon it will sell very well.”

Tony shrugged and reminded Lu Mingfei, "Remember to wait until you've built up a powerful enough force in your own world before taking out the potion, otherwise there will definitely be a lot of people who want to take a bite out of you."

Of course, the best approach would be to recruit Lu Mingfei, a super talent, into the company; the next best approach would be cooperation; and the worst approach would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. But Tony has always felt that, given the way human society works, the possibility of a short-sighted fool holding a high position is not low, and reality and history have proven this countless times.

"Don't worry, I know." Lu Mingfei patted his chest.

Tony nodded and said no more; rambling on wasn't his style. He then turned to observe the parameters on the scanner.

Lu Mingfei originally wanted to help, but Tony could handle it himself, so he simply found a corner to sit in and asked Jarvis to project a screen for him to start reading comics.

Tony, who was operating the scanner, turned his head and glanced at Lu Mingfei.

The reason he was in such a hurry to develop the bloodline locking agent was not only to create a hybrid bloodline potion, but more importantly, because Lu Mingfei, as a hybrid, also faced the risk of falling into the form of a Death Servant. Moreover, his bloodline was extremely high, and the risk of his bloodline going out of control and falling into depravity was even greater.

Although there are no signs of this now, it might be too late to save him once signs appear. Therefore, Tony has been researching the bloodline lock agent all along, in order to prevent Lu Mingfei's bloodline from going out of control one day and being unable to save him in time. However, it has been a long time since the research has been completed, and the bloodline lock agent has finally made progress.

Of course, Tony wouldn't tell Lu Mingfei any of this. As a super genius, Tony Stark, he had been dragging his feet on researching a bloodline lock agent for a long time. It would be too embarrassing for him to say that out loud!

After reading the comic for a while, Lu Mingfei suddenly heard Jarvis's voice in his ear: "Mr. Lu, Miss Natasha is dialing your number."

Lu Mingfei then remembered that he had made an appointment with Natasha at home to treat Captain America in two days, but after coming to see Tony, he became so engrossed in his research that he almost forgot that today was the agreed-upon day.

Lu Mingfei had already explained the matter to Tony, and Tony simply went along with him, partly because he was worried that Lu Mingfei would be deceived, and also because Captain America had a relationship with his father.

The Super Soldier program that created Captain America involved his father back then. In fact, it could be said that his father was inextricably linked to the birth of Captain America. Even Captain America's iconic shield was made by his father. A half-finished shield can still be found among his father's belongings. He used it to pad the pipes when building the particle accelerator tunnel at home, and it worked quite well.

Yes.

On Tony's helipad, when Natasha saw Tony and Lu Mingfei walking side by side, indicating that they wanted to go together, she subconsciously had an urge to get back into the helicopter and fly away immediately.

But she did have a mission after all. If she didn't take Lu Mingfei back to be Captain America's superpower freezer, the director might just stuff her into the freezer.

“Mr. Stark, this is a covert operation,” Natasha said politely. “Unauthorized personnel are not allowed on the plane.”

“How could I be an unrelated person?” Tony retorted.

"What's your connection... Oh right, you're an advisor to the Avengers." Natasha finally realized.

“Don’t even mention that damn NSYNC,” Tony rolled his eyes. “I’m the only advisor in the whole organization right now, and I haven’t even met a single member. I don’t even know who I’m advisoring.”

Natasha was a little embarrassed. She was supposed to be a member of the group, but she hadn't officially joined yet. As for why no other superheroes had joined... it was mainly because Director Fury wanted to find a group of the most powerful superheroes to form a team to deal with a huge crisis. This meant that Fury didn't think the superheroes who wanted to join were good enough, and the superheroes that Fury thought were good enough were too lazy to join. This grand plan was currently on the verge of being "stillborn" or "never even conceived."

“The Avengers are not theoretically a subordinate organization of S.H.I.E.L.D., but rather a crisis response team spearheaded by S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Natasha was still reluctant to let Tony go. “It’s not convenient for you to come along regarding internal S.H.I.E.L.D. matters.”

“I’ve already said I’m not an outsider. Strictly speaking, my position in S.H.I.E.L.D. should be higher than yours now, Miss Natasha,” Tony said.

Natasha was genuinely puzzled this time.

“Go ask Fury how much money I’ve invested in S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Tony gestured with his chin. “From a business perspective, I’m a shareholder now, so watch your tone when you talk to me.”

Natasha: ...

Damn! Just because you have money doesn't mean you're superior!

Natasha felt a tightness in her chest, as if she were choking.

……

S.H.I.E.L.D., Helicarrier.

Led by Natasha, Lu Mingfei and Tony walked down the corridor. Lu Mingfei exclaimed in amazement, "Your base is actually in the sky, and this sky warship even has optical camouflage."

Natasha was somewhat smug and was about to give a brief explanation when she heard Lu Mingfei continue, "I always thought that these flashy and expensive gadgets could only be seen in movies and anime. I didn't expect you guys to actually make one. That's quite a lot!"

Natasha was silent.

Although Lu Mingfei's tone was one of astonishment, the way he spoke gave Natasha the feeling that he was exclaiming, "There are such rich fools in the world!"

So she had no choice but to silently lead Lu Mingfei and Tony to the laboratory where Captain America was being thawed.

As Natasha pushed open the door and stepped inside, she instinctively shivered.

Because Captain America needed to maintain his frozen state while also researching and testing his physical condition, he couldn't be kept in the freezer indefinitely. Therefore, a high-powered open-type refrigeration test bench was placed in the center of the laboratory to prevent Captain America's ice amber from melting.

Although the cold air was mainly concentrated around the test bench, it inevitably dissipated, resulting in a rather low temperature in the laboratory. The researchers all wore specially made thermal suits.

Although she was wearing a leather jacket, it wasn't warm enough in this temperature, and she subconsciously hunched her shoulders.

Lu Mingfei, who was standing nearby, noticed this and turned to look at Natasha, asking with concern, "Natasha, are you cold?"

Natasha glanced at Lu Mingfei, who was wearing a thick, soft cashmere coat.

Given his physical condition and ability to control the ice, he shouldn't be afraid of the cold. Is he going to lend me his jacket?

Natasha nodded.

"If you're cold, go outside first, don't catch a cold," Lu Mingfei said with concern.

Natasha: ...

Chapter 108 Lu Mingfei: She's the one who made me freeze.

Helicarrier, inside Captain America's defrost laboratory.

Lu Mingfei stood by the test bench, curiously reaching out to poke the ice shell on Captain America's body, as if touching some kind of special work of art.

Natasha, who was standing nearby, reminded him, "If anything unexpected happens while we're thawing, or if the captain suddenly seems to be in a lot of pain, please put him back on the freeze immediately."
