The Throne of Heroes

Chapter 69 Sacrificial Formation
"Puff puff puff~"

The two light guns pierced through the two bodies hidden in the black robes. There was no blood spatter or even a scream, and they turned into fly ash in the energy and dissipated in the air.

"Lord." Tomoe Gozen and Ushiwakamaru returned to Adam.

"Did you ask anything?"

"It's still the same, they only knew that it was summoned by the gods, and they didn't ask anything specific." Ushiwakamaru replied.

"Well, let's go find the next batch."

"Yes."

At this moment, a communication came from Atalanta.

"Adam, there's a discovery here."

"I'll come over now."

In a flash, Adam disappeared into the alley with Ushiwakamaru and Tomoe Gozen, as if nothing had happened.

……

On the bridge of the aerospace aircraft carrier, Nick's face became increasingly ugly. On the screen was a map of New York with a large number of red crosses drawn on it. These were the locations where they recorded the killed Demon God Pillar servants, numbering in the hundreds.There are also statistics on the evacuated people. It is calculated that less than 10 people have left. Most of them are passed down by word of mouth from Steve and his acquaintances, and a small number of them are from his people who live next to each other. He was defrauded for various reasons, but it was still a drop in the bucket.It was clear that no one at the top levels of government he contacted believed him.

"Damn it, how did these ghosts sneak into New York! Didn't anyone notice such a large number?" Nick cursed.

"It must have been silenced or controlled. The number of missing persons reports in New York has skyrocketed in the past three days, but the police have not found any traces." Hill Maria handed Nick a piece of data.

"These idiots!" Nick just took a look, and directly put the terminal in his hand on the ground, yelling.This group of policemen is completely trash, no, not even trash.

At the beginning, after the police intervened in the investigation, they quickly found traces of several monsters. In order to fight for credit, they did not notify other departments and wanted to take down the opponent by themselves, but after paying a painful price, they gave up. The person was not caught, but the loss was heavy, so the local bureau chief chose to avoid responsibility by concealing it and not reporting it.

S.H.I.E.L.D., as an existence monitoring the world, naturally noticed this abnormal situation, but it was even less likely to be discovered when someone inside S.H.I.E.L.D. was helping them cover up.

"Is there really no other way?" Nick looked downcast. He really wanted to save more people, but he couldn't do anything. Nick had always been very confident, but now, he began to doubt himself.

"Sir, there's something new!"

"Pass it to me immediately!"

……

In an abandoned warehouse by the sea, looking at the things in front of him, his face was quite ugly.

"Seven enemies were killed. A total of 450 and three ordinary people were imprisoned here. There were men, women and children. The room was full of bloody smell. Judging from the intensity, there would be no less than 100 people, and then this ..." Atalanta pointed to the huge magic circle in front of her, which was drawn with blood, exuding an evil aura all the time.

"Sacrifice circle..." Four words were squeezed out from between Adam's teeth one after another, his face was so gloomy that black water was about to drip.

This is a very evil magic circle. It constantly sacrifices living people to provide energy for the Demon God Pillar. The most evil thing is not here, but this sacrificial circle. There are two favorite objects of sacrifice, one is pure The flawless soul is like Steve's, and the other is a soul full of negative emotions, such as despair, pain, sadness, hatred, etc., so the sacrificed people generally don't die immediately, but They will go through all kinds of torture before harvesting their souls and giving them to the Demon God Pillar.

"Tell Nick, the sacrificial circle is definitely more than the one we found, look for it! At all costs! Find one and destroy the other!" Adam is not only angry, but also worried. You can recover a little more strength, and the battle after that will be a little more difficult.

Nick received Adam's communication and immediately assigned part of his manpower to find the sacrificial circle. Under Adam's instruction, Baimao directly activated [Delusional Illusion], and nearly a hundred clones attacked in full force. After a while, Nick received the news , the found sacrificial circle was also marked on the screen.

Nick was taken aback just by looking at it. Dozens of them were found in the first time, all in densely populated areas. Once activated, all the people in the magic circle would be tortured and died tragically. At least half of New York's population will die if the magic circle is sacrificed.

"Look again! There must be more than that! Call out the areas with the most densely populated people, as well as the densely populated areas! There must be these ghost things in these places! You must not leave them! Mare Fake! Contact the mayor of New York immediately They! I want to talk to them again!"

……

"Witch, our arrangement has been discovered." The evil monk said to the witch.

"How come? The locations we set up are all very secret!" the witch asked, frowning.

"I don't know, just now, half of the sacrificial circles we secretly arranged outside lost contact with me."

"It shouldn't be... Could it be that the guardian found out?" The witch suddenly thought of something, and her face was horrified.

"This is the only possibility. Ordinary people will only think it is graffiti when they see it."

"Troublesome, now we have very little credit left."

"It's better than going out to die. You know, our demon family has a certain perception of each other. Just now, according to my perception, many of the same kind died." The demon said in a deep voice.

"Same." It was Ghost who spoke. He is the same as a demon, and has a certain perception ability with his own kind, even stronger. He can communicate directly in his head if he is not too far away. But just now, many people directly Offline, can't even call him for help.

"What do we do now?" the werewolf worried.

"Don't care about the outside. Going out now is courting death. The guardians have already killed their eyes. Even if the sacrificial circle outside is completely destroyed, we must guard this place. They dare not come here for the time being." The witch decided.

"Okay." The four of them nodded. Those who escaped alive from Steve and the others are those who are most sensitive to danger. Even though they all have extraordinary power now, even if they are the most powerful soldiers in the world, they They can kill dozens of people by themselves, but they are full of fear for Steve.

"Do you want to tell Alexander Pierce that he is hostile to those guardians?" the evil monk suggested.

"I think it's feasible." The devil agreed.

"Okay, I'll go find him."

But the witch came back not long after she left, and her face was quite ugly.

"what happened?"

"He ran away."

"what!?"

"It should have gotten the news from somewhere, and has already run away, and also took away most of the SHIELD staff. The current SHIELD headquarters has at least two-thirds fewer people than a few days ago."

"Then what should we do? This sacrifice is not worthy of the reward from the Lord God!"

"More importantly, is this place safe? If the group of guardians sneaks in here without any defensive force, we will have no way out!"

The five fell into silence. They thought that joining S.H.I.E.L.D. would give them an extra layer of protection, and that they could use more pawns. In the end, they sacrificed all of them as abandoned pieces to the gods, but they didn't expect that they would become The abandoned son was thrown here.

"There is no other way. Let's go underground. We can only pray that they won't find us so soon. One day, we only need to hold on for one more day, and the gods will descend, and we will be reborn!" said the witch, clenching her teeth.

The four of them thought for a while and finally agreed to the witch's plan. At this point, they had no way out.

……

At this moment, Alexander Pierce has taken a private plane to the Trident Building in DC, which is the new headquarters of SHIELD.

Alexander Pierce had never trusted those five people before, and he noticed something was wrong after he noticed the abnormal state of New York, and immediately started to make arrangements. All members of Hydra were transferred, and those who stayed in New York, Either it is a newly recruited person, or it is a spy placed by other organizations inside S.H.I.E.L.D. Although he doesn't know what will happen in New York, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. In order to preserve the power of Hydra, it is better to be cautious.

"Did you just give up those five people?" Baron Sterak was a little regretful, that was a precious experimental subject.

"If you have a way to deal with them, you can send someone there yourself." Alexander Pierce said, he had always been afraid of the five people, and the subordinates who followed them in charge of surveillance were all his right-hand men, but the first person after they were sent Two days later, he discovered that those people were no longer himself, and he didn't know if they were alive or not. Since then, he has kept a certain distance from them and no longer cares about them.

Baron Sterak did not respond to Alexander Pierce. If his men could deal with monsters like them, they wouldn't be greedy. There were not a few of the same kind who were monitored by them. Baron Sterak also sent people to arrest him privately, but except Nothing came back from the damage report, and no one has been sent to die since.

And the five witches are the closest to them, and they are also the five most defenseless people, and the experimental materials that have the best chance of getting their hands.

"Opportunity in the future... Also, the most important thing at the moment... is the "Insight Plan". This is also... an opportunity... to see the details of the mysterious organization..."

Alexander Pierce and Baron Sterak didn't refute either. They acquiesced in Zola's words. The mysterious organization has always been their confidant's serious trouble. The strength shown by the other party is indeed too amazing. It may not be possible to gather all the power of Hydra. If you can compete with it, if you don't figure out what's going on, then you can only hang on like this forever, and the end date is unknown.
