Chapter 22: Ferment

　　 I don't know where the news came from, but it spreads very fast, and it spread to almost the entire underground world in just tens of minutes.

　　 Many people didn't believe it at all when they first heard about it, and they dismissed it.

　　 "Go to war with vampires? The most famous mechanic recently? What a joke, how could he fight vampires, he is a good baby."

Someone spoke on a special black website, with sarcasm and ridicule, sarcasm that Downey is really a good boy. He rarely does things at all. He doesn't seem to be a high-level mutant at all. It makes the official bigwigs very worry-free. Know what to say.

　　 But the rumors are getting stronger and stronger, and they have become more and more influential, and they have set off a huge storm in just a few hours!

　　 An unknown person uploaded a video claiming that it was a video of Downey fighting a vampire!

　　 Many people were shocked. Some forces and top international hackers were very shocked. They used their own means to verify. Various organizations called Starry Night to mobilize computer experts to verify the authenticity of this video. This video is blurry, but you can see Optimus Prime because he is too conspicuous. In the screen, Optimus Prime has a rocket launcher and a Vulcan cannon, sweeping across all directions, and you can feel the murderous aura across the screen.

　　 Some hackers were very curious about the person who uploaded the video. They tried to track the person on the Internet, and found this person in one fell swoop to see who was so bold and where was he at the time? Is it Downey's helper or a vampire? Or a third party? But it failed. The person who posted the video was very cunning, and immediately cleared his traces.

　　 Some forces seem to smell the conspiracy, and are very cautious, intending to wait and see what happens.

　　 But in any case, many people understand that this Downey has done something again, and has done a big thing! He single-handedly washed a vampire's stronghold! The slap was too loud, I don't know how the vampires would respond.

　　 This night is destined to be a sleepless night. The news of Downey's fight with vampires spread like the wind in the dark world. Many big forces have also received the news, or worried, or laughed, and they all just danced and danced.

"Ha! That idiot, are vampires so easy to provoke? Really a big idiot, but it's a pity, a high-level mutant is very valuable." Jin Bin was bloated, and he collapsed on the sofa, sneering constantly. .

　　 S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Ferry rubbed his forehead and issued an order: "Pay close attention. If necessary, send a high-level agent to assist Downey to clean the group of vampires. They are too active during this time, so let them rest a bit."

Magneto hasn't been sleeping for several days. He stood in front of a huge and weird instrument. He didn't care when he heard the news: "Vampires? A bunch of chores just for Tang Xiaozi to practice his hands. If he can't even handle this, he It's just a waste...Forget it, send someone to help him."

　　 The official response was the quickest. They stepped up and announced to the media that the cause of the fire was a drunk who accidentally lit alcohol. The fire has been extinguished, and no one was injured and no one died.

　　 It was also on this night that Downey's "Machinist" nickname was well known by many people.

　　 Downey didn't know anything about it. He thought that most of the evidence could be destroyed by fire, and even if the remaining ones were discovered, the officials would pretend not to know. Even if someone confesses to the vampire, it will at least delay his exposure time and try to prepare as much as possible.

　　 Vampires may not be able to swallow this bad breath. If they really want to fight again, it is likely to use the vampire army, which is a big battle.

　　 Downey's time is tight, he needs to arm himself quickly. Fighting vampires seems to be lively. As long as they are not bitten, the problem is not big. The vampire family is well-known all over the world. Except for the ancestors who exist in myths and legends, those pure-blood descendants can be Kill.

　　 Until Coleson called him and asked him something, he didn't realize that a huge wave had been caused so quickly.

　　 "Mr. Downey, now not only the major organizations know about it, but the incident has spread almost throughout the underground world, and many people know you because of it." Coleson still spoke mildly and said to Downey. S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau also tried to find out who was behind the news, but failed. They could not find that person.

　　 Downey was a little surprised and a little clear.

　　 "Someone is calculating me, but I don't know who it is." Downey said.

He is not stupid, but he has just stepped into this extraordinary world, and many things are still habitually judged by his mortal way of thinking. It takes a lot of experience to make him mature, otherwise he will not be trapped and embraced. Fluke. A veteran who has experienced too many things will not have a fluke mentality, only a rookie with no deep experience in the world.

　　 People like Coleson have played with conspiracies and tricks for most of their lives, almost taking the calculation of gains and losses as instinct.

Think about it carefully, from the casually found administrator, to the attack on the road, he gave him a lot of heavy weapons, and finally confronted the vampire, someone was calculating him, or he was afraid that he would not have enough firepower, so he arranged for someone. Give him arms.

　　 Not to mention the magical phrase "for the glory of vampires"...

　　 Someone secretly encouraged him to go to war with vampires.

　　 "Mr. Downey, do you have a clue? We can use our power to help you find the people behind." Coleson is very proficient in psychology, and has a keen grasp of Downey's heart. He understood that what Downey needed most was not knowing who that person was, but a power and background he could rely on.

　　 Even if this force and Downey use each other, both parties can accept it.

S.H.I.E.L.D. is paying attention to Downey silently, knowing what kind of person he is. If you use inappropriate words to describe him, he is not a good person. Killing and sabotage are no great things for Downey, but he is a man. A person who tends to be neutral and lawful is a person who can talk seriously as long as there is no antagonism.

　　 Otherwise, Downey could go to Professor X and Magneto, and be more free, and they must be very happy to accept such a family. Downey didn't have to guard his house stubbornly. After all, it was in the New York city area. There were a lot of cameras on every road. A person living in a metropolis would tacitly admit that he was secretly observed. This is not just limited to Downey. Almost every person living in a big city will be exposed to the camera as long as he walks out of his home. Everyone knows this.

Therefore, the official agency and Downey have an unspeakable tacit understanding. They no longer manipulate Downey's house and fully respect Downey's privacy. Downey will not openly engage in affairs in front of the official. This is for both parties. Very comfortable choice.

　　 In fact, there are indeed a large number of people who have a good impression of Downey, a freshman, fourth-grade mutant, and there are still a lot of them. They advocate taking the initiative to win over Downey, draw him into government agencies, and even build a special team with Downey as the core.

　　 Of course, people like General Ross and others must have great malice towards Downey.

　　 This is not to say how easy the official personnel are. Looking at the situation, which high-level combat force is so easy to get along with like Downey? Professor X is almost an independent kingdom, Magneto hangs alone overseas, and the birds are not official. The Super Soldier project has repeatedly suffered setbacks. It is too hard for the official agencies to win an extraordinary combat power.

　　 They want to have a trump card that suppresses everything, they are crazy.
