Ingrid Hunnigan, as the only true internal Agent in the Star Team, usually cooperated the most with Skye.
Today, Skye was on other missions, so this Raccoon City mission would be solely led by her for support.
After receiving the energy fluctuations emanating from Raccoon City, she arranged for other Agents to begin calculating detailed data, and then immediately rushed to Fury's office.
"Director Fury, a massive amount of energy fluctuations have been detected in Raccoon City, but the energy type is unknown."
"Energy type unknown?"
Fury frowned, subconsciously looking at Amanda Waller beside him, but found that her expression was also one of astonishment.
"That's right, but based on my speculation, it should be similar to Agent Dante's Lantern Ring energy, possibly another color of Emotional Spectrum energy," Ingrid pushed up her glasses and continued, "But this energy also contains a large amount of bio-electrical signals, which greatly affects the accuracy of the determination."
"Continue to monitor. What we can do well now is not to hold back the team executing the mission. Tell all departments to accelerate the deployment of single-item energy barriers to create a perfect mission environment for Agent Dante."
...
"This vehicle is heading to the Hive."
As the announcement played in the car, Dante had already led his people onto the subway heading to the underground facility.
At the same time, many others, like Dante, detected and perceived this massive energy.
For example, Tony Stark, who was performing routine maintenance and upgrades on the Mark series. For example, the bald master who was slacking off on the roof of the New York Sanctum. And for example, Doctor Doom, far away in Latveria, who was using Will Green Light to simulate new magic constructs.
Why didn't the emergence of the first three Lanterns or Lantern Beasts attract such widespread attention?
The reason was that the environments of the Red, Orange, and Green Lanterns were relatively special.
When the Green Lantern power battery was discovered by Dante, the Ion Shark already existed within the Lantern Furnace, and coupled with the stability of the Will Green Light, it was normal that it did not cause a large-scale energy disturbance.
The Red Lantern Corps was even created by Dante's Ion Man mode. According to the situation at the time, it was born in the gap between the real Universe and the Crimson Cosmos. Compared to the energy levels of the major dimensions themselves, the Red Lantern Corps was like throwing a match into a bonfire.
There is even less to say about the Orange Lantern, which was directly forged on a forging star in another dimension.
Those dwarves have forged no shortage of artifacts from ancient times to the present, and they've seen plenty of powerful energy.
After all, their forges are even powered by stellar energy.
And now in Raccoon City, if Dante was not mistaken, the Violet Lantern Beast had awakened.
It was normal for a non-newborn Lantern Beast to awaken and not be restricted by a Lantern Furnace, unable to suppress the energy burst.
He kept feeling the continuous massive energy output, then his eyes looked toward Ada Wong.
Sure enough...
Under the massive energy radiated by the Violet Lantern Beast, the thick, unyielding Love Violet Light around Ada also began to become active from a relatively static state.
Correspondingly, Ada's state also began to change.
"Hey, Dante, do you trust me?"
"Trust you in what aspect? Ability or intelligence?"
Dante sat next to Ada, feeling the slight warmth radiating from the beautiful witch beside him.
"Of course, the fact that I fell in love with you ten years ago."
"...Why did you suddenly bring this up?" Dante was a bit shocked. Although Ada was usually very playful, she would maintain absolute rationality during missions. "Alright, of course, I completely trust you, just as you trust me."
"It seems that way indeed." Ada pouted playfully, feigning teasing. "Trust is mutual. If you hadn't accepted my confession by Lake Inari back then, then you should have been evenly divided into three hundred portions by me, each weighing two hundred and fifty grams. And this morning, before going out on the mission, I would have even fried a piece of your tenderloin for a sandwich."
"I didn't expect you to have the talent of a deadpan comedian, able to call back after more than a hundred chapters."
"I... I'm not joking with you." Ada's face grew redder, and she even straddled Dante's lap, ignoring the dozen or so people in the carriage watching the show. "Eating you bite by bite, isn't that another way to grow old together?"
Dante shivered, involuntarily imagining Ada cooking his gun, bullet, and cannon set. It must be very amusing.
No. What was he thinking about?
Dante suddenly looked up, his face almost touching Ada's.
"Indeed..."
Ada's eyes were filled with Violet Light.
And the negative attribute belonging to love was frantically eroding Ada's brain.
Dante was about to use Will Green Light to help Ada suppress the Violet Light, but he didn't expect someone to use a more direct and less troublesome method.
"Bang!"
A familiar edman alloy bat landed on the back of Ada's head.
Ada fell in response.
"Hey hey hey! At times like this, I'm the most reliable! I've been practicing this bat swing for a long time; it only knocks out, it doesn't hurt the brain!"
Harley casually carried Ada, who had no external injuries but was in a coma, on her back.
Then she gave Dante a subtle glance.
Trying to sneak off?
No way.
"When did you even develop such a boring skill...?" Dante's mouth twitched, but since Harley had already made her move, so be it. "Then you must constantly pay attention to Ada's state. The energy that erupted is related to the Love Violet Light and has already affected Ada."
"Oh, Pudding, I might not be good at other things, but when it comes to controlling hostages, I'm an expert."
The subway to the Hive arrived at the station just as Harley was thumping her chest loudly.
As the car doors opened, in the darkness untouched by the dim lights, pairs of eyes immediately lit up, shimmering with purple ripples but devoid of any emotion.
"Everyone prepare for battle. A large number of Mold Beasts have appeared ahead."
The Federal Bureau of Investigation team and the bio-protagonist group all gripped their weapons. With a wave of Dante's hand, everyone charged forward.
Only Harley, who was shouting "Harley time!" was grabbed by the collar and pulled back by Dante, her long legs dangling.
"That's enough! Charging into a fight with over a hundred pounds of weight? And are you planning to let Ada on your back take the damage for you?"
"...That's a good idea!"
"Am I giving you an idea?"
Dante flicked Harley's forehead with a Green Lantern brain flick, then materialized a radar.
After scanning, the situation in every corner of the Hive was clear at a glance.
Dante looked up, locking onto the Mold Master that was continuously emitting energy.
"Let's go."
"What do you mean? Isn't it better for you to fight your BOSS and for me to protect the black-haired one here?"
"Nonsense, you haven't failed to notice Ada's abnormality. Maybe through this incident, I can take the opportunity to let Ada directly master the Violet Lantern."
"...Damn, I want a cool Lantern Ring too!"
"What can I do? I've tested the Red, Orange, and Green Lantern Furnaces in front of you, and there's really no reaction. Be good, next time for sure."
He removed the radar, then materialized a rocking horse, and Harley sat in it with a gloomy expression.
