26 CHAPTER 26
At the same time, in the network operations conference room.
The Blacksmith, Axel, and Mirror Master gathered together. In addition to them, there was a man in a dark green coat in the conference room.
The man was holding a glowing stick in his hand. He stood very far away, seemingly unwilling to be with the Blacksmith and the others.
"You are the Weather Wizard, a veteran of the Rogues, right? I have heard of your legends."
Axel took the initiative to chat with the man, his attitude was very enthusiastic.
"If you think that just by wearing a magician's clothes and using equipment made by James, I will recognize you as the successor of the Trickster, then you are very wrong."
In the face of Axel's enthusiasm, the Weather Wizard did not give him a good look.
"What did you say?"
Axel didn't expect the Weather Wizard's reaction to be like this.
"I have no objection to Mirror Master succeeding Sam, because Mirror Master has proven that he deserves the title of Mirror Master."
The Weather Wizard came from a typical criminal family. His real name was Mark Mardon. The Mardon family had their own company, mainly engaged in the production and smuggling of drugs, and was a major supplier for the network.
The Weather Wizard's signature weapon, the Weather Wand, was developed by his brother, Clyde Mardon, and it could control all kinds of weather.
Mark was not interested in managing family affairs, so all business affairs were controlled by his brother. Unfortunately, his brother was murdered many years ago, and the murderer turned out to be his sister-in-law.
Although Mark killed his sister-in-law to avenge his brother, this incident inevitably led Mark to embark on the path of the villain, and he eventually joined the Rogues led by Captain Cold.
The Weather Wizard found a sense of belonging in the Rogues, which was also the reason for his bad attitude towards Axel. Whenever a member of the Rogues died or retired, anyone who wanted to inherit the member's title had to be recognized by all members of the Rogues, even if that person was his descendant.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the old teammates.
"Are you Axel Walker? Listen, kid, what we're going to do is very dangerous, not a game. So you just better go home and find your mother."
The Weather Wizard pointed at Axel's nose and said contemptuously.
Axel was furious, with veins bulging on his forehead, and was about to fight the Weather Wizard.
"Don't be so harsh on him, he's done very well."
The Blacksmith came out in time to stop him.
"Done very well? What does that mean? Stealing discarded clothes from a bunch of incompetent cops? Or losing what you've already stolen?"
The Weather Wizard sneered, "At the time, you were even angry enough to almost kill him. Blacksmith, if you need a Trickster, we can try to persuade James to come back."
"Watch your attitude, Mark. Axel has made up for his mistakes."
The Blacksmith said with a bit of annoyance.
"Okay, you're the boss, whatever you say." Mark Mardon shrugged and relented.
Seeing that the Weather Wizard had eased up a bit, the Blacksmith began to get to the point.
"After weeks of preparation, the plan has progressed very smoothly. Although there have been some setbacks, we have ultimately overcome all difficulties."
"It's time to start the final steps."
"Mirror Master." The Blacksmith called out.
"What are your orders, boss?" Mirror Master replied attentively.
"How did the plundering mission go?"
"Everything went smoothly. He has infiltrated the cops."
Mirror Master's answer satisfied the Blacksmith.
"Mark, Axel, how is the mirror installation on the antenna?"
The two answered at the same time: "All mirrors have been installed on the north/south antenna, and half of the east/west antenna have also been installed."
Mirror Master followed up on their words, "Once all the antennas around Twin Cities have mirrors installed, I can create an illusion that envelops the entire central city and Keystone City. From the outside, everything here looks normal, even satellites can't see the real situation in the city. Then we can do whatever we want here without worry."
"Using hundreds of hackers and cutting-edge network technology, all communications with Twin Cities will receive automatic replies, realistically like living people. Even if outsiders enter the city, they will return the same way in the next second, and their minds will have false memories of this trip. I can do this with my mirror hypnosis."
"Mirror Master, you're a fucking genius! How did Sam not come up with this back then?"
The Weather Wizard couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. He understood the original Mirror Master, so he knew very well that Sam a year and a half ago could not produce such a large-scale mirror illusion as Mirror Master.
"This plan is great. I'm sure I can find a lot of fun when the time comes."
Axel also showed an excited smile.
"Alright guys, the joy of a successful plan is great, but we haven't succeeded yet. Now is the time to be most cautious," Blacksmith clapped her hands and gave the final instructions, "Axel, Mark, you two continue to be responsible for installing the mirrors. This is the most important task and must be completed as soon as possible. During this period, the network's manpower is at your disposal."
"Mirror Master, the city has been too calm during this time. I don't want the cops to have too much time to think about what I might do, and I don't want my ex-husband to have the opportunity to contact them deeply."
"Let's give them something to do and recruit a few new teammates."
Mirror Master was very interested in Blacksmith's proposal and asked, "What should we do?"
Blacksmith smiled mysteriously and asked back, "Iron Heights holds the most dangerous super criminals in the central city and is the most secure fortress in Twin Cities. So what if this fortress is breached?"
Upon hearing her idea, everyone was shocked.
"You're crazier than Cold," Weather Wizard couldn't help but exclaim, "But what happens after the breach?"
"There are, after all, too many powerful freaks in Iron Heights to count. Without the Flash, we can't deal with so many people at once. If they all run out, it will be a catastrophic disaster for the entire city."
"Haha! You sound like a superhero," Axel laughed mockingly.
"Mark is right. We can't really release all the prisoners in Iron Heights. The destruction of the central city is of no benefit to us. We just need to create the illusion that the Penitentiary has been breached and release a few people who can help us."
Blacksmith agreed with Weather Wizard's words, but her statement did not satisfy him.
But the Weather Wizard didn't say much. He knew that he and Blacksmith's group had different ideas, and he stayed here just because he had nowhere else to go.
—-—
After the arrangements were made, everyone left the meeting room and went to do their own things.
On the other side, about five kilometers outside the central city, in a deep mountain forest, there was a heavily guarded prison isolated in it.
A yellow RV drove into this deep mountain forest and accurately avoided the scattered surveillance cameras...
