Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 901 59. Stage [2940]

"beep, beep"

In a museum on the outskirts of London, England, the phone rang in the curator's office.

Diana, who was working, picked up the phone.

On the other end, the slightly tired voice of the leader of the Sky Eye Society, Trevor, sounded:

"I have orders from the President, Diana."

"He asked all the troops of the Sky Eye Society to deploy to New York to prepare for the upcoming crisis. A lunatic took control of the insight mothership launched by SHIELD."

"He threatened to kill 90 people in the city, the situation is urgent, I need your help."

"That's your president, Trevor."

Diana leaned back in her chair, twirling the pen on her finger, and said:

"He has no right to order me, and neither do you."

"I'm not ordering you, I'm asking for your help."

Trevor explained:

"Listen to me, this incident is not normal, from Deputy Director Merlin Riley being wanted, to SDOLD being completely shut down within a day, to criminals attacking the city, and the Insight Project was suddenly activated..."

"None of this is normal."

"I met with Director Fury a few months ago. He told me that the Insight Project has entered the process of abolition. I don't think he is lying to me."

"And Deputy Director Merlin, you fought side by side with him, you are friends with him, right?"

"Just barely."

Diana says:

"So what? You agents make your own troubles, you solve them yourself, I'm busy... There's chaos here in London too."

"No, listen to me!"

Trevor lowered his voice and said:

"I just got a call from the legendary veteran Steve Rogers, and he told me that Hydra was planning this."

"To make matters worse, the chairman of the World Security Council, Alexander Pierce, is the leader of Hydra."

"And they've taken S.H.I.E.L.D., and the mighty heroes of the Avengers have been mind-controlled."

"If this is true, it would be too bad, and Merlin is also among their targets, so if you want to help your friend, then come to New York."

他 说:

"If this incident is really related to Hydra, we will also kill those spaceships that are already cruising above our heads as quickly as possible."

"Let me think about it."

Diana closed her eyes, the mighty demigod thought, and after a moment she opened them, and she said:

"Should I go directly to Merlin?"

"Do not."

Trevor said:

"The lasso of truth in your hand can easily tell who is lying, so you need to disguise yourself and go to the Trident Building with us..."

"If Fury and Pierce really have a problem, then we will catch the thief first."

"Ok."

Diana stood up and took off the glasses on her face. She took down her round shield from the wall behind her and said:

"I will find a few friends to go with me, and we will rush there as quickly as possible. You are waiting for me there."

After hanging up the phone, Diana picked up her private cell phone and made a call.

She said to the phone:

"Wanda? Where are you now?"

"I'm in New York, Diana."

Scarlet Witch's business came over the phone:

"It's a mess here, I have to send my father and one of my elders to a safe place, what's the matter?"

"Well, you need to come pick me up."

Diana opened the drawer and picked up the mantra lasso emitting orange light, the starlight headband, and the power bracelet. She said to Wanda:

"I'm going to New York too. There are very troublesome things there. Do you know that Merlin is in danger now?"

"Huh? I only know that he is wanted, but the phone can't be reached."

Scarlet Witch's tone became tense.

She and Merlin are friends.

But the most important thing is that her younger sister Lorna regards Merlin as a real relative. She can ignore Merlin, but she cannot ignore Lorna.

"Swish"

A few seconds later, Wanda, who was wearing a red leather coat, walked into Diana's office through the door formed by the crimson halo.

She looked at the demigod Diana who had changed her costume, and said:

"What's going on? Tell me in detail."

---------------

In the chaotic New York City due to the threat of the clown.

In a high-end residence in Manhattan, Bruce Banner, wearing a gray hood covering his face and body, stood by the window, watching the street outside the window vigilantly.

Behind him, Dr. Betty was busy searching for something.

The two looked like burglars, but they weren't.

The two of them were supposed to follow the Aegis command ship to Raccoon City, but they sneaked off before the command ship left New York.

It's not some bad taste or madness, but because Betty has someone in New York who is absolutely worried...

Her father, Thaddeus Ross, a former Department of Defense General who currently lives at home.

If they want to leave the chaotic New York, they have to take Betty's father with them.

"Betty, did you find it?"

Dr. Banner turned around nervously and asked.

Behind him, Betty roughly opened the closet of the empty house and rummaged through it. She said:

"No, my father didn't leave any news. He seems to have disappeared out of thin air."

"No, it's not right."

Betty said worriedly:

"He should know how dangerous it is outside. He, an old man who has been dismissed, shouldn't be running around at this time. What's more, we obviously talked on the phone before. He should wait for us to pick him up at home!"

"He was probably taken away, but who cares about an old man who lives at home?"

Banner whispered, then walked into another room.

There is still nothing here, everything is placed neatly, and there are no traces of fighting left.

But the father-in-law, who was supposed to be waiting for his daughter and son-in-law in this house, just disappeared out of thin air... This made Dr. Banner feel worried.

General Ross is an ordinary veteran. If someone kidnaps him, it must not be for him.

Is their target Betty, or themselves?

Or, Hulk?

Banner subconsciously wiped his chest, his heart was beating extremely violently.

But this is a normal situation. Another personality hidden in his body, the powerful Hulk, endows Banner with unimaginable vitality.

But the Hulk is dangerous...

Once the Hulk was unleashed in what is now New York...

Banner didn't dare to think about it anymore, he suddenly felt that sneaking out of the command ship with Betty didn't seem like the right choice.

"Banner! Come on!"

Betty's shout sounded in another room, and Dr. Banner rushed over, only to see Betty removing a letter that had been stabbed there with a knife from the wall of the bathroom.

She opened the letter, and there were only two sentences in it, and a poorly painted portrait of a clown.

The handwriting on the letter was crooked.

"We invite General Ross to visit the Trident Building."

"Don't worry, we'll 'take care' of the grumpy old gentleman..."

Dr. Banner's IQ ranks among the top 7 in the world.

He saw at a glance the purpose of the letter here.

But seeing is one aspect, and being able to refuse to do dangerous things is another aspect.

"Banner, you can't go!"

Dr. Betty grabbed Banner's wrist, and she said to her boyfriend:

"They arrested my father just to lure you over. They want to lure Hulk. We have to leave this city as quickly as possible!"

"Then what about your father?"

Banner clenched his fists. He didn't like General Ross, because the general's constant urging and taking risks led to the tragedy of his transformation into Hulk.

But he loved Betty deeply. If General Ross died in this disaster, then Betty would not be able to let go of the rest of his life.

"I..."

On one side is the father, on the other side is the man who loves deeply.

Betty Ross couldn't choose, and she didn't know how to choose.

"We're going to rescue him."

Banner reached out and hugged his girlfriend, he patted Betty on the shoulder, and he said:

"We have to find a way to solve this without letting Hulk show up...Let's go to Baxter Building."

Banner took Betty's hand and walked towards the door. He said:

"Dr Reed and his family are there, we need help and he will help us."

-----------

In a small alley in Queens, a fierce battle is going on.

"boom"

The female knight Jessica Jones grabbed the electric pole on the side of the street, and between the strength of her arms, the electric pole was completely pulled out from the cracked ground.

The powerful Jessica swung the telegraph pole and spun it with great momentum, smashing the telegraph pole.

Knocking out several frenzied street heroes chasing after him.

But the senior member of the Heroes Association didn't pursue the victory, but turned around panting, clutching his injured abdomen and rushed out of the alley.

She can fly, but now in the sky above her head, several flying guys whose minds have also been manipulated are flying around to search for her.

It's obviously not a good idea to just rush into the sky.

The chaos in the New York Heroes Association came too suddenly, and being attacked by a huge amount of fear gas made the heroes have a tendency to fight among themselves.

The mind control that followed turned many people into the clown's lackeys.

It was a complete accident that Jessica could escape the mind control, because she had encountered the mind manipulation of the purple man in her past life, so after being rescued by Elsa, Jessica always carried a talisman that could resist mind control .

This habit made her escape today.

But he witnessed the scenes where the powerful heroes followed the clown away, and she knew that this matter would not end so easily.

She must find a suitable hiding place before that maniac destroys New York.

Jessica is not a heartless woman, just let her boyfriend fall into a desperate situation of being controlled, she really wants to rescue Luke Cage.

But the problem now is that she is not alone.

"Come on!"

Jessica rushed to the exit of the alley, and she waved to the two children hiding by the trash can.

Little Frank and his sister Lisa rushed towards sister Jessica immediately.

The two children were obviously terrified by the scene just now. They tremblingly grabbed Jessica's blood-stained arm.

During the chaos in New York, Jessica and Cage took the two kids to the Heroes Association, which they thought was the safest place.

But when Harley Quinn attacks the headquarters, everything goes haywire.

The two children witnessed those heroic brothers and sisters who were usually very kind, killing each other like crazy.

Although they were brought out of danger by Jessica's breakthrough, the chaotic street heroes did not give up their pursuit.

"Go, don't look back!"

The embarrassed Jessica picked up little Frank, and pulled Lisa to a residential area ahead, which was one of the several alien reservations of S.H.I.E.L.D. in New York.

Jessica, who is a non-staff agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., knows that there is a passage to the underground city of Brimstone Harbor.

That city was in the demiplane below Manhattan, and the salvo from the Insight Mothership couldn't hurt that city at all.

The two children will be safe there.

"Cage, wait for me..."

Gritting her teeth, Jessica staggered and ran with the child. She planned to save her man after sending the child out.

But the problem is that this last section of the road is not that safe.

"boom"

Jessica, who was running wildly, suddenly grabbed the two children and jumped into the air. The moment she lifted into the air, the ground under her feet cracked like a bomb exploded.

A small guy rushed out of the explosion's smoke, clenched his fist and smashed at Jessica.

The latter held the child in his arms, and withstood the heavy blow with his back. Amidst the blood splattering, the female knight turned around in the air and kicked the attacker on the shoulder.

Amid the sound of bones breaking, the insane guy howled and was smashed back to the ground.

But the female knight also fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Behind her, those chaotic heroes ran over again. It seemed that they really didn't intend to let Jessica go, and they didn't know how this lady had offended them on weekdays.

"You go!"

Jessica got up and stood in front of the two children. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said to Lisa behind her:

"Take your brother and go to those houses."

"Tell them, you call Merlin uncle, let them send you to Sulfur Harbor, where you can find Grand Duke Nissa...she will protect you, go away!"

Before he finished speaking, a guy in armor who seemed to be imitating Iron Man, but failed to imitate, punched Jessica on the cheek.

The female knight did not show any weakness either, she punched back and sent the assailant flying.

Although Jessica is not obvious, she is also a non-staff agent recruited by Merlin himself.

But if you think she is easy to bully, then you are really losing your mind.

"Go, brother."

Lisa glanced at her elder sister Jessica worriedly. This big girl knew that staying here would only be a burden to Jessica.

She rushed to the residential area on the other side of the street with her young brother in her arms.

Just after the two children ran a few steps, a guy covered with white bone spikes stood in front of their eyes with a smirk.

This isn't a hero, he's a fugitive super criminal.

A bullying bastard.

"Little sister, where are you going?"

The guy moved his hands and gave a weird smile, Lisa held his brother behind him, and little Frank clenched his fists and looked angry.

But the two children couldn't protect themselves at all. Behind them, Jessica was also entangled and unable to rush to help.

"Dad, where are you..."

Lisa protected her younger brother, but her eyes were full of despair.

Uncle Merlin had told them that their father would be there when they needed it.

But now...they're about to die with this mad city.

Frank Castle...

Where is that veteran who can give everything for his wife and children?
