In the Marvel Universe: I can summon items from all dimensions.

Chapter 56 Stack Memory

(Omitted for brevity) In fact, the people of the motherland are people who understand the big picture and know when to advance and retreat.

Back then, when he saw the soldier boy appear on camera, he immediately turned and ran away, and only dared to show his face after a long time. This fully demonstrates that he was not blindly arrogant, and that he would back down when faced with an opponent who was obviously—or even someone he might not be able to beat.

"etc!"

He opened his mouth, his voice trembling slightly: "I think—this can be explained."

It's about surviving, nothing to be ashamed of.

At this moment, the man finally came to his senses, remembered his skill in acting in front of the public, swallowed back the lingering arrogance, and began to act like a subservient grandson.

But this is the kind of situation where someone attacks first and is then knocked to the ground before saying, "Hey, can we make peace?" The effect can only be described as tragic. Instead of eliciting sympathy from the (certainly) bad guys around them, it has attracted a lot of "Are you fucking crazy?" reactions.

What was that saying again? Right—"Arrogant at first, then obsequious; it's laughable to think about."

"explain?"

The White Queen was immediately amused: "Can you smell it? That smell."

"Um?

'

The other police officers all looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"So you people's social experience is still—" The White Queen shook her head, and just as she was about to announce the correct answer, Mason suddenly interrupted from the side.

"It's like something out of an entertainment star," he said, shaking his head. "Too exaggerated. Normal people don't make such dramatic changes in expression."

Although this statement is based on knowing who A-Zu is and drawing the bullseye on the bullet hole, it is not just empty boasting. Homelander's acting skills were cultivated by roles such as entertainment agents. In order to better convey emotions to the public, his performance style will inevitably be exaggerated to a certain extent. Ordinary people may not be able to distinguish it, but for someone like the White Queen who is knowledgeable and has strong mental abilities, it is very obvious.

"Oh, you're quite perceptive," the White Queen praised Mason, "much better than some blockheads."

These words immediately displeased Logan, Scott, and Shockwave. After the White Queen finished speaking, the three brothers retorted in unison, "Emma, ​​what do you mean?"

"Heh, looks like someone's taking it personally."

Because the diamond shape was so transparent, it was difficult for others to discern her expression, but her tone clearly indicated deliberate sarcasm: "If you think you have no problem, then what I say doesn't matter at all, right?"

A verbal battle was about to break out, but perhaps due to considerations of the occasion, it ended with the two sides glaring at each other for a few moments before turning their attention back to Homelander, who was completely confused about the situation.

"—I apologize for my offense just now."

Although his lie had been ruthlessly exposed, given the circumstances, Homelander had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue the act: "It was a misunderstanding caused by my sudden arrival in an unfamiliar place, where I mistook those around me for enemies plotting against me. If we speak properly, we can definitely understand each other!"

"Pfft."

The sudden burst of laughter drew everyone's attention to Colossus.

"It's nothing, you guys continue." He waved his hand while trying not to laugh, "Don't worry about me."

The man from the motherland was so angry that his face turned green, but he was now blackened like charcoal by lightning, so you couldn't tell.

"Never mind, I'll do it."

The White Queen sighed, "I told you long ago that the academy should have a prison or something, just in case we don't know what to do in situations like this. Look at what's happened! Without me or the professor, how do you plan to control him?"

Storm frowned repeatedly as she listened: "We are an educational institution, after all. What kind of educational institution builds a prison?"

"Who says there isn't?" The White Queen said, spreading her hands as she approached Homelander. "Isn't the Red House an educational institution?"

Upon hearing the keyword, Colossus, who was of Russian descent, immediately shook his head: "Comparing an academy to that kind of place is going too far, isn't it?"

The White Queen did not answer again, because she had already come to the side of the Homelander. After examining him for a moment, she raised her chin and said, "Keep a tighter grip on this guy. I'm very fragile and don't want my arm to be suddenly broken."

Upon hearing this, Hisako Tochigi removed several more components from her energy armor and transformed them into a mortise and tenon mechanical restraint structure, locking Homelander's limbs and connecting them to the ground, thus preventing him from suddenly taking off. Storm also sighed and rubbed her hands together, generating a strong electric current in her palms.

"What are you doing! Let me go!"

Realizing something was terribly wrong, Homelander ignored Logan's claws and began to struggle violently. But even the seemingly gentle Phantom Cat showed no sign of being affected. The White Queen even revealed a smile mixed with a hint of sadism and said coldly, "Don't worry, it will be over soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Storm placed her hand, which was brimming with electricity, on Homelander's back.

The others came to Tochigi Hisako's side in perfect unison and stood on a square platform that she had modified from her breastplate. Of course, Mason was also pulled up on it.

呲——

In an instant, Azu was completely illuminated.

Even Logan, who was squatting next to him, was struck by flashes of electricity, but he didn't care.

After the lightning dissipated, Homelander rolled his eyes and briefly lost consciousness. His body, which was already dark from the electric shock, became even darker.

The White Queen jumped off the insulated energy platform and slammed her palm down on Homelander's head from behind.

A moment later, she stood up again, clapped her hands, and shed her diamond pose. She patted the black ash off her hands and said, "Done. He'll be asleep for at least a week. After that, let Hank come and take him away. Whether you slice him or put him in a jar is up to you. I don't want to see him again."

"I've already said we don't do that stuff—" Colossus sighed. "Emma, ​​can you please stop bringing the Brotherhood's ways with you?"

"Then why don't you come asking me for help?"

Emma gave him the middle finger, turned around and walked towards the observation room, leaving just like that.

Mason, who had witnessed the entire process, fell into deep thought.

Although they were quite efficient, the police officers in this world were quite different from those he had imagined. They were fine most of the time, but when facing enemies like this, their style became somewhat ruthless.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. A truly battle-hardened group will inevitably have a corresponding level of discipline and tacit understanding. Scenes like those in movies where everyone stands still and attacks without any formation would never happen in reality. Similarly, for an enemy who has clearly expressed hostility or even murderous intent, it is normal to take them down first and then discuss other things.

Hank then rushed down with a few people, put a collar on Homelander that was supposedly used in superhuman prisons, and after a check-up, carried him away—who knows what kind of days awaited him next.

Why haven't the professor and Jean shown up at all? Are they busy with something else?

It seems like yet another secret—and there are just too many secrets!

"We need to re-examine the cavity."

Storm called out to a few scholars, and left Logan and Colossus as bodyguards. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, the others retreated.

As for Mason—

I haven't had dinner yet, I'm starving.

Hurry up and eat something, then go and examine what you just got.

A dozen minutes later, Mason returned to the cafeteria, packed a dinner, and went back to his dorm.

Before what just happened, he had intended to slowly savor his meal, but now he was no longer in the mood. So he found a large bowl, poured all the food in, stirred it, and ate it with a spoon while composing text messages to send to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra.

Of course, he wasn't crazy enough to tell the truth about what he had just seen; he simply wrote two reports that resembled "nothing happened that day" to get by.

The identities of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are still useful and cannot be easily discarded, so we still have to deal with them.

After sending the text message, Mason planned to perform a feat of drinking his dinner in one gulp, but just as he picked up the bowl, his phone rang.

I picked it up and saw it was a call from Elliott.

Uh—I've been having so much fun at the academy these past few days that I almost forgot about this person. That's not good.

After the call connected, Mason calmly greeted him, "Oh, still contacting me so late? Don't you ever get off work?"

"I'm not in the mood for jokes."

Elliott's voice sounded a little heavy: "Cesel, there's a new task for you."

Here we have to expose S.H.I.E.L.D.'s weakness. Because of the large number of Hydra agents infiltrated into their ranks, what should theoretically be an extremely confidential agent communication line has become Hydra's public toilet, hacked to the point that it can be easily eavesdropped on and used. As it is now, Elliott even dares to call directly instead of sending a text message.

Considering the Nazis' appallingly incompetent intelligence warfare during World War II, Mason simply couldn't understand how Hydra managed to do this. After much thought, he could only conclude that S.H.I.E.L.D. was actually even worse than Abwell (the German intelligence organization during World War II).

"ah?"

Mason considered Cissell's role for a moment, then replied in an annoyed voice after a slight delay, "You want me to die already, don't you? I was just sent here. If you want any more missions, at least wait until I've established myself, okay?"

"—This is an order, and neither you nor I have the right to disobey it." Elliott sighed. "Listen carefully, the higher-ups will be sending people to the academy again soon. You will be responsible for receiving them. More details will be provided to you after the plan is finalized."

what?

No, buddy?

Do you really not consider the professor an outsider? You dare to say such things over the phone?

If I were a real Hydra low-level agent, I'd probably be dead if I took on this kind of mission, right?

Even excluding the professor, this academy still has two equally powerful psychic abilities, Jean and the White Queen. I'm afraid that the moment he hung up the phone, his watch would be checked the next morning.

Wait a minute—could this matter not be so simple? For example, could Hydra be using me as bait while secretly plotting something else?

However, considering the skill level of this group of people, Mason really couldn't tell whether they were experts pretending to be timid or genuinely incompetent.

"Are you kidding me! I didn't do this job to get myself killed!"

He growled and then slammed the phone down.

Even a clay figure has its temper, and while he could take a detached, amused approach to Hydra's actions, Mason, putting himself in Cecil's shoes, felt it was perfectly normal for him to lose his temper here.

As for what they think, that's none of his business.

Mason tossed aside his phone, picked up his rice bowl, drank the contents in one gulp, and then instantly focused his thoughts elsewhere.

What exactly is emptiness, and how is it related to one's own abilities?

What they have in common is that they can bring things that do not belong to this world—their own abilities can only summon inanimate objects, but this is controllable and safe, while the Void even has living things on its circulation list, which is obviously very unsafe.

Besides that, there's the fact that one can benefit from emptiness.

According to the professor, this cavity in the college is relatively new, and there are many more, older, or even larger cavities elsewhere. Although it is unclear what the size and age mean for cavities, intuitively, larger things generally represent more powerful ones.

—It's too early to think that far ahead now; let's think about the issues that are right in front of us.

First, there's the portal that leads to another world.

There are still many mysteries surrounding this thing, but one thing is clear: if you want to, you can immediately push open the door and go in. And since it's a "door," it can't be used up after just one use, so you should be able to come back if you want to.

The problem is that he only knows that the door can lead to other worlds, but he doesn't know exactly where it leads. On the bright side, he might go straight back home, but if he goes in and finds himself in some Warhammer universe, Foundation world, or Earth from the God of War series, he might be instantly killed by some inexplicable area-of-effect attack before he can do anything. Wouldn't that be suicide?

Therefore, we need to consider this carefully.

Of course, this doesn't mean that "doors" are worthless. In some extreme situations—such as when someone is chasing and attacking you and you have no other choice—you can use this method to escape, making it a life-saving treasure.

Then comes the opportunity for targeted summoning.

Perfect timing! I haven't used up today's summoning opportunities yet, so I can make good use of the new mechanism.

So, what kind of term should we choose?

Now that I'm living in the academy, surrounded by a large group of powerful individuals, my personal safety is no longer an issue. So there's no need to rush to find weapons or anything like that. Compared to that, what's more important is—?

After thinking for a moment, Mason realized the answer.

He closed his eyes and inputted the concept of [Storage Item] into the wisp of golden light entwined on the Milky Way.

That's right. In terms of the nature of his abilities, he is destined to become an item-based player. So what is the core of an item-based player? It must be a large enough backpack!

It's alright that I only have less than five items now. If I draw once a day, I'll have thirty items in a month and more than three hundred in a year. Even if ninety percent of them are useless junk, I can't carry all the rest with me.

Therefore, he needs something like Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket or a storage ring from fantasy novels to deal with the problems that will inevitably arise in the future.

I originally wanted to directly input "[Space Storage Item]", but it failed. It's probably because the range was too precise, so it can no longer be called "random summon".

It's a real shame. In that case, they might pull out something like a safe, making it even harder to carry with you.

Mason then used his summoning opportunity for the day.

The next instant, a silver, high-tech-looking bracelet popped out of the void and he grabbed it in his hand.

Stack memory

[How to use: Bring the item you want to store (no larger than 1 cubic meter) close to the bracelet, then activate the storage button to store it in the bracelet's internal storage space. The maximum storage capacity of this storage device is 20 cubic meters.]

【Feature: First-In, Last-Out (The order in which items are retrieved from this memory is fixed; items can only be retrieved in reverse order of storage)】

[Note: It is best not to put live animals inside, otherwise the consequences could be quite serious]

Mason hissed.

The person who made this must be a programmer, right?

However, there's no time to be picky now. Although the rules are a bit strange, it's better than nothing.

So Mason pulled his suitcase out from under the bed, found the fairy wand, the glass bottle, and the big bone Luffy had gnawed on, and stored them one by one into the bracelet according to the instructions, and then tried to take them out.

Everything went smoothly, and there were no unexpected incidents.

After some thought, Mason also stored the cursed videotape, the fragments of the Mercenary's Book, and the air gun in the storage. Following this order, he could take out the air gun first when needed.

Although it seems to have been phased out of the meta, it's still the only item I have that provides instant offensive capabilities, so I still have to use it when necessary.
