The alternative in Marvel

Las Vegas is a place that is known as a paradise on earth and a hell on earth. As prosperous as this city is on the surface, it is so dark on the inside.

At night, the dark alleys under the scattered buildings on Monica Road in Paradise City exude the atmosphere of being closed to strangers. Occasionally, pedestrians pass by, but they are also in a hurry.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump..." The messy footsteps were particularly loud against the darkness of the night.

"Where did the people go?"

"did not see it."

"He's lame and can't run far. Go over there, Galvi, go over there, Rusty, and follow me, Dev."

……

"Holy shit!" A man limped into a blind alley in a panic. Looking at the stone wall in front of him that was as tall as two people, he couldn't help but curse.

Just when he was about to turn around and run away, four people were already standing at the entrance of the alley, blocking his way.

"Click!" The sound of pulling the bolt.

"Yanke, aren't you a good runner? Keep running!"

"Terry, I was wrong, don't kill me, don't kill me." Desperate, Yank raised his hands and knelt on the ground, constantly begging for mercy.

"Where's my stuff?"

"If I tell you, you have to swear you won't kill me."

"Do you think you have the right to bargain?" Terry walked up to Yank and put the gun against his eye socket.

"OK, OK, I said, I said. I hid the goods in the toilet water tank of a KFC toilet on Delton Street."

"This is my good boy." Terry patted Yank's face with the gun and said with a smile.

"Diff, go back and make sure this kid is telling the truth."

"Okay, boss."

……

Soon, Diff, who was sent there, called and said the goods had been found.

Terry then put away his gun, stopped talking to the trembling Yank, and walked slowly towards the alley.

Yank, who thought he had saved his life, stood up and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Terry walking to the alley, raising the gun in his hand and aiming it at him.

"You said you wouldn't kill me."

"But did I say yes?"

"F..."

"who are you?"

Terry's inexplicable questions and the deflection of the gun's pointing position made Yank, who was about to resist desperately, stop in confusion, and then he heard footsteps from behind.

Before, he was the only one at the end of this dead end alley. Now, the sudden sound of footsteps made all the hairs on Yank's body stand up. Driven by fear and curiosity, he turned around and looked back, and then opened his mouth. Zhang is enough to hold a fist.

"My child, I see life's sinful karma in you."

The strange sound of words, like the friction between two pieces of metal, made Terry's teeth ache. In surprise, he saw Yank standing in front of the blurry figure and collapsed on the ground like soft mud, motionless.

"Who are you?" Terry asked boldly because he had a weapon in his hand.

"Me? I have many names, which one do you want to know?"

"Stop, stop, or I'll shoot."

The man in the shadow didn't care at all and staggered toward the alley.

"boom!"

The figure staggered from the bullet, but did not stop moving forward.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Terry fired all the bullets in the magazine, but he still couldn't stop the figure from approaching. Two seconds later, Terry finally saw the person clearly.

"What the hell are you...?" Terry's teeth chattered as he was frightened out of his wits by the sight in front of him.

To be precise, it was a bloody body. The partially carbonized skin had cracked, revealing bright red muscles. The bullet that had just been shot was stuck in the muscles, and there was a strange smell of meat floating in the air.

"you guess?"

The person who smelled of meat was none other than Adrian, who had broken free again and crossed the space barrier twice in a row, which was extremely taxing on his body.

"Boss, I..."

"Ah..."

The sound coming from his men woke up the lost Terry. He turned around and saw that the bodies of the two men were melting with the screams, turning into two pools of unknown liquid in just a few seconds.

"I'm sorry that you lost several companions. Your fate should have been the same as theirs, but I have some problems now and need your help."

"I...what can I do...?" Terry thought he must have encountered the devil and asked intermittently in order to survive.

"Mr. Terry, let's get out of this place first."

……

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Adrian."

When he was about to take Terry out of the alley, a voice from behind made Adrian's lips curl up involuntarily. With a gentle squeeze on the back of Terry's neck, he instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

"Teacher Gu Yi, why are you here?" Adrian turned around and asked happily.

"I sensed your appearance and rushed over. Did I disturb you?" Gu Yi asked after glancing at the pools of liquid on the ground.

"Some blind gangsters have a lot of sins on their bodies, so we have to send them to where they should go in advance."

"Well, I won't care about these things. But when you come back this time, you are in very bad condition." Looking at Adrian, who was all burnt, Gu Yi said.

"I found a weak point in the space barrier burned by the underworld flame and crossed over. I made a small mistake and penetrated twice, so it looked a bit miserable."

"Need treatment?"

"It still doesn't work. Time reversal will most likely send me back to the spiritual realm. I'd better wait for my own recovery."

"Okay. Do you have time to chat?"

Adrien followed Ancient One out of the alley and sat on a bench on the street.

"Tea?" Two cups filled with tea appeared out of thin air in Gu Yi's hands.

Adrian took the tea cup, lowered his head and smelled it, and said, "It's great. It's been a long time since I drank tea made by the teacher."

"So many years have passed. What is your purpose for coming back this time?"

……

The first meeting between Adrien and Ancient One dates back to 1977, when Adrien escaped from the spiritual realm for the fourth time.

The Spiritual Realm is good at controlling the power of souls, but unlike the Heim Underworld and Niflheim among the nine realms, the Spiritual Realm does not have the corresponding authority to accommodate the souls of the dead. Its essence is actually a pocket universe.

Pluto Solo, the lord of the spiritual realm, was favored by the God of Death by chance. Therefore, under the blessing of the God of Death, the subjects under the rule of the spiritual realm were immortal and transcendent. The people of the spiritual realm, who had no pressure to survive, gradually changed from being passionate about souls. After studying magic, he became keen on purely physical martial arts competitions, and he never tired of it for tens of thousands of years.

Adrian is the only son of Pluto Solo. Because he hates the gray and gloomy environment of the spiritual realm and the boring and boring competitions day after day, he is constantly looking for ways to escape from this world.

In the year 1762 of the Earth's calendar, Adrian, who was in the spiritual realm, inadvertently touched the Lord's Scepter that only his father could hold. His soul came to the Earth in the form of a projection, overlooking this extremely beautiful world. Unfortunately, his strength Limited, the projection only lasted for 10 minutes before dissipating. This was his first time escaping from the spiritual realm.

……

In 1970 of the Earth's calendar, Adrian stripped off part of his soul to lower his status and became a weak body without abilities. Then he used his soul fragments to reach an agreement with the critical Mephisto, and finally From Hell to New York. This is the fourth time he has escaped from the spiritual realm.

From 1970 to 1977, Adrian experienced the best years of New York's "pimp" industry and met countless women. At the end of 1977, Adrian, who entered sage mode, began to travel the world.

In fact, Adrian's arrival had long been discovered by Ancient One, who was guarding the earth. After continuing to observe for a period of time and finding that Adrian was basically harmless, Ancient One specially arranged for Master Hamil to wait for Adrian's arrival in Kathmandu.

Adrian and Hamil met through an ancient book in the street market. The two people who are also interested in ancient history became companions, traveled to Kathmandu together and became good friends.

Later, Adrian was recommended by Hamil, whose identity was revealed, to learn magic from the Ancient One.

In 1994, Adrian, who had accomplished his studies, was assigned to guard the Sanctuary in New York. However, he did not like the boring life of the Sanctuary mages. After obtaining the consent of the Ancient One, Adrian moved to New York while he was stationed. He lives in the Bronx and is known as a magician.
