Chapter 2751 Star Core Rescue (Thirty-Seven)
Jameson had just walked out of the room.
Apparently, he and Mysterio didn’t share a good relationship.
About half an hour ago, he arrived here as agreed, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw the mysterious man wearing a helmet.
Jameson has seen too many masked heroes, so he doesn't care if the other party doesn't show his true face. He only cares about what kind of information the other party will reveal to him and whether this information can match some of his guesses.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mysterio. If there are no problems, let's get started now."
Jameson first asked a few common questions as usual, such as where you are from, what abilities you have, what kind of dangerous incidents you have dealt with in the past, what kind of person you think you are, etc.
Mysterio's answer was confusing.
If Jameson had to describe this new superhero in one word, it would be "hypocrisy."
Mysterio was obviously not sincere enough. As a seasoned media person, Jameson could sense very accurately that he was hiding something, and it was not a very clever concealment, but a full mouth of lies.
It seemed that he did have a problem, Jameson was sure of this. He knew too well how to deal with such a liar. After asking the usual questions, Jameson began to show his aggressiveness step by step.
He did not ask about the space station right away, but instead asked about Mysterio's origins, that is, his so-called elemental powers. He basically asked Mysterio when he obtained the power, how many kinds of power he obtained, and how he usually trained this power.
Through these questions, Jameson became more certain that this guy was not only a hypocritical liar, but also a stupid egomaniac.
He said that he had never undergone any training at all, and his strength was completely innate. He also said that this power had no weaknesses, no energy limit, and the output port was infinite. As long as he wanted, he could do anything.
The first knife was held in Jameson's hand, and he asked, "So what do you want to do most?"
Mysterio, of course, responded, "I want to benefit the Earth, make people better, and end war poverty and chaos forever."
Sounds like nothing, right? Jameson thought sarcastically in his heart. If he hadn't come into contact with other superheroes through Spider-Man before, he would have believed it.
Is there such a powerful force in this world?
The answer is yes. At least Jameson has personally come into contact with one, and that person is called Scarlet Witch Wanda.
At that time, they were filming a documentary about superheroes. The documentary needed some publicity, so they invited some reporters to meet these superheroes face to face. Because they had to come into contact with a large number of ordinary people at one time, they chose some superheroes with good tempers and who were more approachable. Wanda was one of them.
Some people may think that Wanda is a little irritable, but in fact, that is only when she is facing her sister and her father. She is the most socially normal person in Lanshel's family. She can even earn rent for herself by working in ordinary society.
Wanda is very patient with ordinary people, and she seems to have the ability to see through human nature. She saw that Jameson and Spider-Man seemed to have some tacit understanding, so she answered a few extra questions from Jameson.
What Jameson was most curious about, of course, was the ability of this mutant lady. When he learned that Wanda was almost omnipotent, he also wanted to know what Wanda would most like to do with this ability.
The answer is to create the world.
That's right, Wanda wants to create a brand new world, a world that is essentially free of chaos and poverty, a world that humans have never experienced, and where everyone living on Earth has been happy since they were born.
Then Jameson understood that in the eyes of these true super-powered people, the world now is too broken, and they don't want to patch it up on this basis. They hope and have the ability to create a world where there has never been a disaster, rather than simply saving the current one.
They don't want to save people from suffering, they want suffering to never exist. They don't want to be the savior of mankind, they simply think of themselves as gods.
This is unexpected, but surprisingly reasonable, because think about it, creatures with such powerful abilities have long understood the world differently from ordinary people. They dare to think what ordinary people dare not think about, and they can do what ordinary people cannot do, so they naturally have a god's perspective.
There is no doubt that Jameson saw a kind of compassionate divinity in Wanda, and he also saw the same temperament in Professor X and even Magneto.
The word compassion seems to never be associated with that serious German man, but the fact is that they both possess the same temperament, completely otherworldly, detached, even slightly nihilistic and empty, and all this is because they are too strong.
Mysterio has absolutely no such temperament, and his perspective on issues is not what a god on earth should have. Perhaps some powerful super-powered people can return to nature like Clark, but Mysterio obviously does not have such an open-minded person who has experienced many things.
Jameson has basically confirmed his guess that this mysterious man is a fake.
Jameson believes that someone else saved the space station, and this person can be temporarily called "Mysterio", but it is not the clown in the helmet in front of him.
After confirming his guess, Jameson no longer held back and began to ask Mysterio about the details of saving the space station, such as when he discovered that something was wrong with the elemental power, how he determined the location where the elementals escaped from, how he defeated the first monster, and how he defused the bomb and left with it.
Jameson's questioning method is very similar to the forms that Schiller gave Baker to fill out, but the difference is that Schiller's methods are more gentle, but Jameson can be said to be sarcastically veiled, not giving the mysterious man any time to react.
The result, of course, was that Mysterio's answer was a mess.
Jameson is not a professional agent, but he is a veteran journalist after all. He was able to open a newspaper in New York and continue to make profits today. He may not be able to deal with dangerous people, but he can catch one of them easily when dealing with ordinary people.
It just so happens that Mysterio is not a dangerous person. He is even worse than ordinary people. He is just an ordinary person with a bad mental state.
He had not had a good rest since he was injured. During the days he lived with Schiller, not only did he have to fill out endless questionnaires and deal with the annoying psychologist, but Schiller also often caused various accidents, which prevented him from having a good rest.
After finally getting away from there, he was arrested and had to find evidence for himself during the bail period. The tremendous pressure almost drove him crazy.
The double torture of body and mind has brought him to the brink of collapse, and now Mysterio is a little delirious.
In the second half of the interview, Mysterio basically said whatever he wanted, completely out of the blue. He was confused, but Jameson was not. His questions seemed to make no sense, without a complete internal logic, but they disrupted the rhythm of Mysterio's already short replies, making his words completely incoherent.
Having gotten what he wanted, Jameson didn't want to stay any longer. But although Mysterio wasn't very smart, he was still wary, or perhaps the huge pressure forced him to be cautious. He wanted to see Jameson's notes.
Jameson wouldn't show it to him. To put it bluntly, he had interviewed so many big figures, but no one had ever wanted to see his records. Even the most unreasonable politician wouldn't dare to say that, as it would interfere with fair public opinion.
However, the man in front of him looked very dangerous and might have lost his mind. Jameson obviously also had the wisdom to protect himself, so he handed over the notebook in his hand. The notebook basically recorded the facts and made some embellishments. He successfully fooled the Mysterio.
But what Mysterio didn't know was that Jameson actually didn't need to use a pen to take notes. He had been a reporter for most of his life, and he remembered every question he asked and every answer the other party gave.
Jameson kept summarizing today's gains in his mind. He found more and more loopholes in Mysterio's mouth. These inconsistent statements alone were enough to expose this damn liar.
Jameson walked out of the hotel where they met, followed closely by Mysterio. At this time, he came to his senses a little and felt that he still needed to say something nice to the reporters and let them speak well of him. More importantly, he should emphasize his own strength and kindness to help himself gain a foothold in the public opinion field.
The two men walked out of the hotel one after the other, but at this moment, Jameson saw a flash of light reflected on the building opposite. He turned around and saw a huge mechanical spider lying on the roof of the building opposite, which seemed to be at least 10 stories high.
Jameson's eyes widened and he took a few steps back in horror. He immediately thought of the mechanical spider monster that blocked Mysterio during the live broadcast.
But wasn’t it said that the AI crisis had been resolved?! What’s going on now?!
But the Mysterio behind him was very excited, in his opinion, this was Stark coming up with a new plan when his first plan failed. The two emoticon monsters he created before were not able to cause any effective damage to him, so he deliberately took out their most advanced technology to suppress and threaten him.
The mysterious man snorted coldly. He thought, this is really like a pillow when you are sleepy. He was worried that he would not have the opportunity to show his powerful strength. This time, this monster would not become an emoticon again, right?
It turned out that there was no such thing this time, and the monster's appearance was particularly ferocious, and its crawling movements were like a real spider, scaring people on the road to flee in panic, while Jameson raised his camera.
Although the mechanical spider was huge, it moved very quickly and rushed in front of Mysterio in almost an instant. Mysterio flew up, and just when he was about to control the drone, he was stunned.
The drone's signal was cut off.
Mysterio looked at his arm in disbelief. There was a screen on it that only he could see. All the lit red dots on it turned gray, which meant that his drone was out of control.
"This is impossible!" Mysterio roared. He suppressed his panic, turned on the headset, and whispered to the other end: "Sophia! Sophia! What happened to my drone?!"
There was no answer from Sofia.
"Damn it! Answer me quickly, why is there no signal from my drone?! Answer me quickly!!"
"Who are you?" A strange male voice came from the other side. There seemed to be some chaos over there, with various sounds constantly coming from there, and it seemed that there was also Sophia's call.
Mysterio was completely panicked.
"Who are you? What did you do to Sofia?!"
"I'm an agent of the FBI. Sofia Adela has been arrested for being involved in a transnational money laundering case. She needs to go to a designated location to cooperate with the investigation. No matter who you are, we will find you."
The mysterious man looked ashen.
