I'm in Cthulhu

The weather has gradually turned to autumn, and the gray night around St. Tristram's Cathedral is filled with pale mist under the moonlight. Luo Ji lies on the wooden bench in the church, ending up with Anubis in his dream. After the conversation with Peter, enter the normal rest time.

And John Schmidt, who had previously been awarded the Mark of the Outsider by him, finally took the first step in his assassin career after receiving instructions from a random shrine placed by Luo Ji.

Target: Howard Stark.

In addition to being a playboy, the other party is also a top scientist with brilliant achievements and a wealthy and ruthless businessman.

According to the instructions of the shrine, Schmidt needs to go to the military science and strategy department in New York tonight, sneak up on Howard who is researching mechanical parts, and negotiate with him to obtain part of the shares of Stark Industries, the company owned by the other party.

The tyrannical Schmidt didn't understand why the shrine didn't let him kill Howard directly, or inject special poison into the opponent's body, so that Howard had to obey his instructions if he wanted to get the antidote.

Although he was confused, Schmidt did not waver or be selfish about tonight's goal. Unlike the original Mark of the Outsider, the modified version of the secondary demon carved by Luo Ji on Schmidt would directly act on the opponent's spirit in order to obtain Absolute obedience.

In his free time before executing the plan against Steve and transforming those Hydra soldiers, he had been busy with Schmidt-related matters, and now he has basically completed everything necessary.

There are shrines scattered all over the place, ominous runes in tricky locations, and automatically triggered sounds and images he recorded in advance...

The reason why Luo Ji did this was not only because Luo Ji wanted to experience the feeling of becoming an outsider, but also because his leaping thinking found a subtle time period in the silent finishing work, which allowed him to obtain an extremely important position in the future. Useful identity.

During that time, he would be very busy, and he would not be able to see the people or other things he originally planned to meet in person, so Luo Ji planned to ask Schmidt, the tool man, to help him do those things.

Such as having friendly negotiations with Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark.

Creating unspeakable events requires not only those weird and twisted evil things, but also a large number of beautiful knives. Luo Ji considers himself a good young man. He will never steal or rob unless he has to, so he is in urgent need of a withdrawal. ...No, it’s the partners who provide financial help.

Howard was a perfect choice, and establishing a relationship with Tony's father in advance during World War II would also allow Luo Ji to satisfy his bad taste for Mr. Shit in the future.

Various reasons stacked together caused the supreme leader of Hydra to embark on a very different path from the original work. On this night, he stood under the bright moon, in the lonely cold wind, and jumped to a big tree with golden leaves. Above, it reveals the changeable nature of life.

Hidden on a tree trunk in the night, Schmidt crouched and looked at the entrance of the scientific strategic base. There were two soldiers with guns standing on the left and right, with piercing eyes.

Just as he was thinking about how to use the superpowers obtained through the whalebone runes to pass through the defense line composed of many soldiers unharmed, a green leaf suddenly rotated and fell on Schmidt's arm.

He carefully picked up this distinctive dark green leaf with his other hand, feeling a sense of surprise and discomfort in his heart. This thing seemed to be filled with an unnatural and terrifying malice.

Schmidt put away the leaf by accident, took a deep breath, forced down the strange feeling just now, and focused on the infiltration operation.

A plan soon emerged in his mind, and Schmidt used the cover of night to sneak quietly to the edge of the light emitted by the headlights at the entrance of the base.

The Mark of the Outsider on the back of his hand was filled with thin light blue mist, and a strange force wandered in Schmidt's body. Staring at the strange mark of non-Euclidean geometry, he remembered the words of the shrine before:

"There are many different powers in the world. They all have their own uses and follow the laws of nature, but there are also many powers that transcend the world. These powerful and strange powers are what I call magic..."

Magic?...

Schmidt stood at the door of the Scientific Strategic Base. Under the dim white light, his ferocious face evoked an evil smile that would make evil spirits tremble.

After passing the bloody corpses of the two gun-wielding soldiers, Schmidt reentered the stealth state and approached the basement of the base.

The mechanical heart in his hand beats silently from time to time, telling Schmidt the inner secrets of the person in front of him.

Ordinary people survive by chance, while the experiences of evil people are like the judgment of the Ghost Rider on those sinners, eliminating their own sins in the soul-piercing power.

Short-range teleportation, dark vision, devouring rat swarms, shadow kills... The extraordinary power showed its brutal side in this unfortunate base, causing the surviving normal people to scream and flee.

Schmidt was an out-and-out psychopath. After gaining the power of magic, his violence was bound to reach a new level. Luo Ji knew this very well, so he added the concept of judgment of good and evil into the words of the shrine.

Just like a skeleton knight who signed a contract with the demon Mephisto.

Luo Ji experienced the feeling of being both the Outsider and Mephisto at the same time, and Luo Ji said it was pretty good!

Back to the topic, after Schmidt completed "stealth" in a broad sense, he pushed open the door of a certain room in the basement and found Howard Stark with uneasiness written on his face inside.

The shrine issued an irresistible order. Schmidt could not bear any hostility towards Howard, so he just walked up to the bearded man and stretched out his right hand.

Howard: "?"

He forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and hesitantly extended his right hand. The two of them held their hands together, completing an extremely magical scene in this basement.

The conversation that followed was extremely smooth. Schmidt made the requests mentioned in the shrine, and Howard immediately agreed without any hesitation.

Although World War II broadened his horizons about "blood", Howard still couldn't accept what just happened upstairs. He still had unfulfilled ideals, so he planned to take one step at a time.

Howard is a smart man. He can easily see that Schmidt is just a tool man, and there is a more mysterious and powerful existence behind him... Coupled with the movement of the person upstairs that ordinary people would never make, Howard is vaguely aware of the situation. I have some disturbing associations.

Schmidt didn't give the other party much time to guess. After completing the task, he picked up the unresponsive Howard and left the base at an extremely fast speed, heading to the next target location.
