Marvel's Great Old Ones
Chapter 6: Brian
Daniel walked down the street with his head lowered, because there was a forgiving-colored octopus on his head. Along the way, people on the road looked at him with strange eyes, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Hey, Daniel, what do you look like? Ninja fish? Octopus man!" Two black men on the roadside laughed when they saw Daniel with an octopus on his head.
"Fuck you! I'm happy with it, you can't control it." Daniel showed his two middle fingers and remained stubborn.
The two black men didn't pay attention. Seeing Daniel's response, they burst out laughing even louder.
Daniel jogged around the corner and returned to his shared house on the east side of Brooklyn, near Chinatown.
His roommate was a Chinese named Andrew who lived in Chinatown. Andrew has a good personality, is diligent, does not take drugs, and will cook him some food from time to time.
Daniel's relationship with Andrew was not bad, because although he would go out and fool around, he never brought those shady people back, and he didn't have any addictions.
Andrew, on the other hand, is more honest and doesn't even smoke, let alone take drugs.
They have lived together for more than two years. Although they don't know each other as well as brothers, they still have some tacit understanding.
Daniel didn't use his cell phone, so the two of them just chatted when they both had free time at home.
"They are both yellow people, but how can the gap be so big? One is like an angel and the other is like a devil." Thinking of his boss, Daniel sighed in his heart.
It was now past nine o'clock in the morning, and Andrew probably hadn't come back yet. Daniel didn't know what kind of job he was doing, but he only knew that he was in Chinatown.
But it should be pretty good, otherwise it would be difficult for a yellow person who is discriminated against to live in the United States, especially in a place like Brooklyn.
The house is a two-bedroom apartment on the sixth floor, with two bedrooms, a small kitchen and bathroom. The area is not large, but it is enough for two singles or a couple.
Farewell, my little room.
Daniel touched the wall with his hand and was about to make a gesture of reluctance, when suddenly there was pain on his face.
Snap, a soft sound appeared on his face.
Cthulhu swung his tentacles, and when he saw that he didn't move, he pulled out a few more times.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't, don't slap me in the face." Daniel, who was facing Cthulhu, couldn't dodge.
He wanted to take it off his head but found that Cthulhu strangled his head with his tentacles and couldn't move it!
Seeing that the bipedal beast under his body wanted to take it off, and thinking of the task assigned to him by the great master, Cthulhu became surprisingly angry.
Its short, stubby and tender tentacles were like a spinning windmill lashing wildly at Daniel's face.
"Don't--stop fighting. I surrender. I'll pack my things and I'll be fine soon." Daniel, who felt that his face was beginning to swell, raised his hands and shouted in a broken voice.
He didn't have many things, only a suitcase and a handbag, but because Cthulhu slapped him in the face from time to time like making trouble, he packed them here and there for more than two hours.
Pulling his luggage, Daniel stood at the door of the building. He tried to turn around and walk in the other direction, but was persuaded to come back by Cthulhu's slap in the face.
I originally thought I could escape from the clutches of the devil, but I found out that I was overthinking it!
Walking towards the church bitterly, Daniel tried to seduce Cthulhu. He showed a sincere face and said seriously: "Master Cthulhu, I need to buy some daily necessities. The nearest store is on the other side. How about I Just go there for a while?”
Seeing that Cthulhu didn't respond, he tried to go back, but found that as long as he deviated from the path he had just come from, he would be slapped in the face by Cthulhu.
After more than half an hour, the procrastinating Daniel returned to the church.
"Back!" Li Xiu, who was tinkering with something on the statue in the auditorium, smiled enthusiastically when he saw Daniel back.
what's the situation? The boss has changed his character!
Daniel was stunned for a moment, only to find that Li Xiu hugged the hateful green octopus from his head with a look of joy on his face.
"Ah, Mr. Ke, how are you? Are you tired? Do you want a hug?"
"Ah, you're back too." As if he had just seen Daniel, Li Xiu came back to his senses and said with a surprised look on his face: "I thought you couldn't wait to escape from this devilish cave of mine."
"Cthulhu, Cthulhu!" Cthulhu in Li Xiu's arms yelled and started telling Daniel a small report.
You still know that this is a devil's cave!
Daniel, who had been frozen for several minutes, cursed in his heart, but a happy smile appeared on his face.
"How could it be? How could this be a devil's cave? I still need to tidy up the room. I'm going to put things away first." Daniel carried his luggage and ran into the top-floor bedroom of the tower building as if he were fleeing.
Li Xiu didn't pay attention and continued to tease Cthulhu.
He gathered the energy within him on his fingers, like teasing a baby with a pacifier.
He ate about twenty people last night. Although the conversion efficiency was high, it was still a drop in the bucket for the growth of the Shoggoth body.
He made a simple calculation and found that if he just ate these ordinary meat energy, it would only be able to maintain the use of his abilities but would not be able to provide what he needed for growth.
To be honest, he is somewhat greedy for the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which is said to have infinite energy. If he could eat the Cosmic Cube, he could even directly construct the concept of the Old Ones or summon a complete Cthulhu-level existence.
Through the little information he could find on his computer, Li Xiu could basically determine that this should be the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Because this world is so peaceful, there is no sign of the chaos of gods and demons in the comics.
It's 2007, and even Iron Man won't be available until next year.
According to the plot and power level of the movie, in fact, as long as he finds a way to prevent Thanos from snapping his fingers and be careful about being targeted by a boss of Gu Yi's level, with Li Xiu's current strength, as long as he behaves well, there will be no danger.
Li Xiu planned to keep it quiet, but when he thought that this was the Marvel Cinematic Universe he was familiar with, his trouble-making heart began to stir.
"Ah, I'm so confused. Should I just be stubborn or cause trouble? I'm really looking forward to when Iron Man comes out!" Li Xiu leaned back on the chair like a salted fish holding Cthulhu.
The money he grabbed last night was only a few hundred thousand yuan. After renovating the church and buying some furniture, he should only have tens of thousands yuan left. He did the math in his mind.
If you want to be stubborn, you can't go on like this, otherwise the ship will capsize sooner or later. If one day you are discovered by SHIELD, which is now Hydra, you will be annoyed to death if not killed.
There is also the mentally retarded U.S. military in the movie. Didn’t you see that even the Hulk was forced to flee to India?
You can't hit or scold you, otherwise you will be eliminated at every turn for the sake of the "people" even in urban areas.
Li Xiu couldn't help but shudder after predicting the scenario in which he was first discovered by the police, went on a killing spree, was chased by the military, turned into a dog, and finally killed by nuclear weapons.
"It's wrong to kill people. We need to be friendly, otherwise it's easy to be banned as a eunuch. Yes, that's right, it's easy to be banned." Li Xiu held up Cthulhu and said strange words.
Cthulhu stared with bean-eyed eyes, and Li Xiu stared with small eyes.
"It's still inconvenient after all not being able to speak," Li Xiuyi sighed and began to wail: "Why isn't there that kind of Crystal Palace system? My stupid king, Your Highness Jeanne. Otherwise, it would be better to come to Belfast. ."
In the tower, Daniel was secretly sad when he heard his boss wailing. Why did he end up with such a lunatic boss?
The world is such a fucked up place. It was nice when I came here, and I promised to help, but now I can’t go back!
……
The camera shifts to the coffee shop downstairs of the Manhattan Police Station, where Brian hands Richard a cup of coffee across from him.
Richard and him have been old friends for more than ten years, and they worked together for a few years after graduating from the police academy. Unfortunately, due to some things, Brian went from being a rising star in the police force in Manhattan to becoming a major crime team member who retired in Brooklyn. Xia.
And the friend who was stupid in the image has become the leader of the data monitoring department.
"Richard, I want you to help me adjust the surveillance around Ambrio Pier last night." Brian looked at his friend opposite.
"Brian, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I really have no choice," Richard looked around, took a sip of coffee and said, "I was scolded by the section chief a few times before when I helped you, and I was almost laid off. "
"Hey, Richard, brother, you are the only one who can help me this time, the last time," Brian said eagerly, "This is the last time, and I promise, if you just check the situation of the case, it will never go too deep." dig."
"Come on, Brian, you said that a few times before," Richard put down his cup.
"Listen, Brian, I know you need to make some achievements and you want to come back, but I am different from you. You are alone. I still need this job to support my family!"
"Richard, you know me. I need this opportunity. I have a feeling that this case is different. I have a chance. This is the last chance."
Brian looked at Richard with sincere eyes and said, "I need to come back. You know my situation, I need to come back."
"Do you know what they say? They all say you are crazy. You have been crazy since Maria died." Richard scratched his head and said, "It has been many years. Let it go. You are so crazy." I know this case, the water inside is too deep."
"No-no!"
Brian looked pained, "I have to come back. Maria died because of me. I can't let her die in an unclear way."
Maria is Brian's apprentice and suitor. At that time, Brian was still the youngest police inspector in the Manhattan Police Department.
Brian, who was high-spirited at the time, received a strange task. An informant reported a large-scale drug and arms transaction. After reporting to the police station, Brian saw the chief with such a strange expression for the first time.
The director gave meaningful advice to this promising young man. It's a pity that Brian pretended to accept it. He was so proud that he turned around and took Maria and three first-level police officers to the transaction site.
Those people wearing ninja costumes were too decisive and did not hesitate to shoot when they saw someone. In the blink of an eye, Brian was left driving away in a panic.
Maria, that round-faced girl who loves to laugh, took the bullet without hesitation in order to save her favorite idol.
Brian was not punished when he returned to the police station, but the police records and informant records disappeared. The information of three police officers also showed that they were transferred. Only a pair of rings were left, which were given to Brian by Maria's friend.
"She originally wanted to hand it over to you, but unfortunately she was transferred too quickly and didn't have this chance."
Yeah, it's a pity there's no chance because she's already dead.
It was as if everything had never happened. Soon after, Brian was transferred from the Manhattan Police Department and came to Brooklyn because of his mental trance.
He tried to investigate, but everything was so normal, so normal that he seemed to be really crazy, and those people were still alive. Unfortunately, those who knew could not speak out.
Richard looked at Brian with pity. He knew the truth, but those who knew it over the years had either been transferred or fired and disappeared. He still has a family and a life to live, so pity is of no use.
"Brian, the surveillance around the pier was turned off last night, and there was nothing there. But I think you can check to see if there have been any large transactions recently." Richard finally left the coffee shop with this sentence.
"Big transaction! Yes, that guy took away the money, and there must be a transaction record." Brian's eyes lit up. As long as he could solve this case, he could apply to return to the Manhattan Police Department and continue investigating that year. case.
In fact, Brian is just a drowning man who grasped the last straw, because the murderer may not be around to use the money, and there are so many large transactions, how to be sure that he will not use part by part...
