Chapter 238 Chapter 238 Minefield Disco
Honestly, the camouflage of this unknown species disguised as Benjamin was really poor. It looked like a pseudo-human at that station. Even without Kevin and Jason sharing the car, Li Hua and Jason would have been hard to miss.
The real Benjamin has a key, can ring the doorbell, and will hug the ice ghost cubs asking for hugs as soon as he sees them, and coax them with a corny voice.
The most important thing is that the Benjamin they know can hear the mental projection of No. 666!
Just now, No. 666 called him at Li Hua's instruction, but he didn't respond at all. This was enough to prove that no matter whether Benjamin himself was possessed by another body, wearing a camouflage mask, a phantom monster or something else, the thing that just came in was definitely not "Ben Tennyson".
Li Hua and Jason could have exposed it on the spot.
But unfortunately, the enemy's identity and abilities were unknown, there were babies all around them, and the imposter even held one in his arms. In the house next door were Benjamin's ordinary parents who were powerless, and the whole area was a residential area... It was obviously not a good time to confront the invaders.
So Li Hua and Jason simply took advantage of the situation and followed the man's instructions to send the Ice Ghost cub to a safe place, and asked Kevin Gwen or someone else to come and support the house, while they followed the man to test the situation.
The man really led them to a warehouse in a suburban factory area, pried open the lock and let them in, even specifically instructing them, "Keep your voice down so as not to alarm them."
In order to cooperate with his performance, Li Hua had no choice but to respond: "Okay."
"Outskirts, factory." Jason followed the pretender through the huge shelves, sighing heartily, "There are so many factors that go into choosing a location."
One more bomb and it would be complete.
Li Hua: ...
No matter who this imposter is, he'd better behave himself, otherwise he'll have to suffer Jason's "beat him to death if you can't kill him" combo.
First, they met the baby during a visit, and then they were called to this remote warehouse by Jason - the key point is that they were dancing on Jason's thunder and lightning.
It hasn’t even been four months since the negative buff caused by Jason’s last visit to the warehouse disappeared.
"Yes, elements of an evil plan."
The pretender didn't know Jason's identity or past. He could only understand Jason's words superficially and continue his performance.
"You two are wearing very conspicuous clothes. I'm going to explore the way ahead and will be back soon."
With that, he walked away wearing his bright green sports jacket.
Li Hua decided that after a falling out, he would ask this person whether he himself had an intellectual disability or whether he thought everyone else had an intellectual disability.
There are no lights on in this factory, and none of them are wearing fluorescent clothes. Doesn't it all look the same moving around here?
He could barely accept that Li Hua was conspicuous. After all, there wasn't likely to be much pink in this large warehouse.
But wasn't Jason's hood just a little red? In a warehouse where red, blue, and green are common, it wasn't conspicuous at all; it was basically just camouflage.
Li Hua and Jason pretended to wait for a while behind the row of shelves. Then Li Hua heard a slight movement on the ground at his end, and a can rolled out in front of him.
Li Hua:.......
Is he trying to lure me over?
It's such a familiar operation. When Li Hua was sneaking around in Gotham and Bludsea Literature, he used this trick to knock people out many times.
But Li Hua would not be happy if he was the one to be knocked.
Sitting and waiting for death is also not Li Hua's style.
Li Hua pulled out his shield, ready to avoid being hit from all angles.
Just hit him with a club and let him stay.
In some ways, Li Hua succeeded.
Because it was not a club at all, Li Hua had no time to walk over. Just as he drew the card, he was stuck to the wall by a white thing at an extremely fast speed. Jason was also affected soon after.
"Haha! Ben Tennyson's new partner is just like that."
An extremely huge purple gorilla landed on the ground. Four huge spear-like legs extended from its back, supporting it like a spider. It had six scarlet eyes and opened its mouth, spraying several balls of extremely sticky white slurry with its hands at Li Hua, who was lying sideways and covered with paper on the wall.
This time, Li Hua not only saw clearly that the white slurry was a rapidly condensed and extremely tough spider silk, but also saw the red version of the Omnitrix logo on the creature's chest, so he no longer had to guess the other party's identity.
"Albedo?"
"That's right."
The purple gorilla croaked like a spider monkey and made some arboreal primate "woohoo" sounds.
He tore Li Hua off the wall, wrapped him in the same spider silk as a mummy as quickly as a spider wraps its prey, then stuck him back to the wall and did the same to Jason.
"Forgive my caution, you two have become quite famous lately. Even an escaped prisoner like me has heard a little bit about you."
After doing all this, the Omnitrix logo on his chest emitted a red light, and "Benjamin" took off his brown wig and green contact lenses, and took off his green coat to reveal a black short-sleeved shirt.
Albedo laughed triumphantly and said, "But no matter what, isn't he still defeated by me and Ultimatrix?"
"Okay, you win," Jason said coldly. "So what are you going to do next? You went through so much trouble to kidnap us two, so I guess you're not going to treat us to a meal. So, to cut a long story short, where is the bomb?"
Albedo scoffed pitifully, "Don't you understand? I made up the story about the Eternal Scar Warriors' smuggling to trick you. My whole purpose was to lure you to this remote warehouse so you wouldn't get in my way later."
"I've heard you're arrogant, but I didn't know you were so fond of talking nonsense. Why are you still pretending at this point? Aren't you just trying to use us two as hostages to force me to submit?"
Seeing the smug laughter, the warehouse, luring the tiger away from the mountain, being caught, being in the way... the memories hurt in his head, and Albedo's attitude of asking questions even though he knew the answer further triggered Jason's anger.
Albedo's laughter stopped. He looked at Jason quietly for a long time, then asked doubtfully, "Are you mentally retarded?"
I just want you two to stay out of my way later. What are you talking about?
His confused expression was exactly like Benjamin's. Li Hua asked directly, "Aren't you going to torture us, kill us, and then kill Ben's family?"
Albedo: “…Huh?”
OK, confirmed.
"You two are sick in the head."
This time, Albedo said this without any personal attacks.
"Why would I do that? What good would that do to me? I just want you two to stay here and not stop me from grabbing the Omnitrix. No one will be in any trouble."
"...You really just want the Omnitrix? Without breaking our bones? Without torturing us with poison?"
According to the pseudo-law of conservation of energy, anger does not disappear, it is simply transferred to another person.
As Jason's anger disappeared as the misunderstanding was resolved, Albedo's anger rose.
Albedo had originally decided to turn around and leave without speaking to these two inexplicable Earthlings, but upon hearing these words, he practically turned into an active volcano. He stormed back, pointed at Jason's nose, and roared:
"Yes, yes, I am the arrogant, misguided, hopeless, and unforgivable Albedo. Are you satisfied?"
"That's what Azmis told you, right?"
"No, that's just my own thinking," Jason said. "It was the way you visited me that gave me some unpleasant misunderstandings."
Li Hua: "Albedo, Azmis really never said that to you."
Jason just stalled and Albedo exploded right after. Can you rebellious red second generation assistants please not have anything in common in places like this!
Albedo was so furious that he couldn't listen to any explanation. He laughed in anger, and his red eyes seemed to be burning with anger:
"So many subtle misunderstandings can arise from just my casual thinking? Just because I'm wearing an Earthling's skin that looks just like Ben Tennyson, do you think I'm so easy to fool?"
How could these two earthlings have so many detailed fantasies in an instant when they had never seen him before? There must be something they had preconceived notions about.
For example, Azmis had never spoken well of him.
"I thought I was a failed assistant in Azmis's eyes... Ha, it seems I overestimated my reputation. It turns out that in their eyes, in your eyes, even though I've worked for him for so long, I'm just a scumbag with no morals, a pervert, a lunatic, and a scumbag. Haha... Good, very good!"
.......If you still can't tell that Albedo has stepped into a minefield, he can donate one of his eyes to Deathstroke.
Li Hua no longer had any hope for Jason and Albedo's rebellious assistant conversation today.
This is the beginning of hell!
We had originally agreed to help Jason persuade Albedo to calm down, but now, Albedo and Jason stepped on each other's minefields from the beginning, and all of them were exploded.
Could there be a worse way to start a conversation?
"I apologize for degrading your character to that of an indiscriminate psychopathic killer, but it was truly a misunderstanding that occurred by chance."
Jason tried to calm Albedo down first as he explained.
"Azmis really didn't say that to you. Calm down and think about it. We two Earthlings don't have the chance to meet Azmis, and even if we did, he wouldn't mention you to us for no reason, right?"
Li Hua: "Your big reaction proves that Azmis never said that to you before. So the question is, is your impression of Azmis the type who curses people behind their backs?"
"...No, that stern guy who always gives people the cold shoulder and has a terrible temper never curses people to their faces, and he never spreads rumors with such specific details."
Albedo gradually calmed down, and just when Li Hua and Jason thought that today's conversation could still be saved, they heard Albedo say with certainty.
"So it must be Ben Tennyson who is ruining my reputation!"
Jason:?
Li Hua:?
How come there are Benjamin pots here?
Jason: "...If I haven't lost my memory, then the real Ben Tennyson didn't seem to appear in our conversation or in my vision just now."
So why was the blame finally put on Benjamin?
Dr. Dong Wu previously put the blame on Benjamin, but at least he took a last look at Benjamin. But isn’t it a bit too far-fetched for you, Albedo, to put the blame on him?
"If it wasn't Azmis who said that, then it must have been that arrogant and childish brat."
Albedo was completely immersed in his own anger, he said.
"It's just right. I can take this opportunity to defeat him and prove my modification—no, the ultimate evolution of me and the Ultimatrix, and make Azmis realize that firing me was a huge mistake!"
Jason gave up on communicating... To be more precise, Albedo unilaterally gave up on communicating because he was angry.
All he wanted to say now was, "Take a break, Albedo, and stop putting the blame on Benjamin, okay?"
"So I said it, and he wouldn't listen."
Another voice came from the ceiling, and a ball of white spider silk stuck Albedo to the ground.
The spider monkey with the green Omnitrix symbol on its chest climbed down from the ceiling along the shelf and said to Jason:
"You've tried your way, now it's time to try mine."
What should we do if the people of Gavin refuse to listen, are arrogant, selfish and stubborn?
Most likely he owes it, so just give him a beating and a scolding.
Benjamin had already used this method on Azmis once, with remarkable results. He said it was time to try it on Albedo as well!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Albedo originally fired Azmis because he was dissatisfied with his words "You must not possess the Omnitrix, you will only harm everyone."
So Albedo secretly copied an Omnitrix copy and all the subsequent plots appeared. When Azmis scolded him, the main idea was basically the same, sometimes adding "so I said" or "I said it long ago" and so on.
In the later part of the original work (the fourth part), when Albedo fell into a crazy state of revenge on Benjamin at all costs, he assisted another villain in kidnapping Benjamin. At that time, he said to Mark who was looking for Benjamin that I don’t actually hate other people, but because they always get in his way (referring to Zhen and Azmis), so he decided to take revenge.
The way to take revenge is to prevent them from saving Benjamin [covering face with laughter and crying].
But no matter which time period Albedo was in, he never did such a tasteless thing. Even in the original comics, he went to see Benjamin's parents with his own face and lied that he was Benjamin.
Just as Benjamin's parents were struggling to accept their son's new lifestyle (Albedo, how did you convince them), Benjamin himself returned and was furious when he saw the situation. [covering his face and laughing and crying] In the end, Albedo left in a hurry, and Benjamin angrily and worriedly reminded his parents not to open the door to strangers in the future [covering his face and laughing and crying]
In the main story, Albedo's mind was full of changing back, so when Li Hua and Jason were sure that he would do such a wicked thing, Albedo exploded. [Handshake and cry]
Jason: This guy's moral standards are higher than I thought. In this case, he can't go to Arkham and has to go to Central City.
Jason: ...What? He'd rather star in his enemy's idiotic play and earn ticket sales than rob a bank?
Jason: Hiss—then he probably can't go to Central City either.
Li Hua: Please don’t eat meal replacements, buddy… There’s already a fight going on over there.
Li Hua: Is there any worse start to a conversation than this where both sides step on each other's minefields?
(The next second, Benjamin and Albedo met and started fighting each other)
Li Hua:.......It’s true!
