Marvel Magic Event Book

"Mild earthquakes are continuing across Maine... The governor asked citizens to stay at home and not panic... We invited geological expert Richard..." Salomon dropped the TV remote control and answered as if he had been granted amnesty. The electricity came on. , the host's sleepy voice was really tormenting, and the call transferred by the front desk allowed him to temporarily escape from the boring TV show.

"Mr. Augustus? This is Bonhams Auction House. The painting you are auctioning will be delivered to the Brunswick Hotel by a dedicated person in five hours. Please sign for it." Salomon hung up the phone. He glanced at Wanda, who was lying on the table concentrating on carving the amulet on the bronze medal, and planned to tell her the news.this

It is a long-term mission to recover the "Book of Darkness" or its fragments. For Salomon, he has been performing it for nearly ten years.He was able to lock down the mission location through a strange piece of art.Among them is a grotesque and parody of the Madonna and Child - the figures in the painting are as fat as Peter Paul Rubens's "The Nymph and the Jungle", and the intensity of the painting is no less intense than that of "The Rape of Lucien". Daughters of Hippos".But that painting does not make people feel beautiful. On the contrary, this painting makes people extremely uncomfortable.The facial expressions of the characters in the painting are full of malice, and their limbs all show skin that has lost elasticity after aging. Under the beautiful curves of the human body are dense bulges, as if what is under the skin is not flesh but worms.In the dark background of the oil painting, some strange creatures are playing and playing.

This terrible but at the same time unparalleled charm of the painting was put up for auction as a copycat imitation of the style of Rubens by an unknown eighteenth-century painter.Salomon bought the painting based on his intuition, gained access to the painting up close, and contacted the seller.After talking to the seller and spending a lot of money, Salomon learned the story behind the painting: the seller of this painting was the only remaining bloodline of the family mentioned before, next to the crazy writer Charles Boone. Descendant of James Robert Boone.The painting and other artwork, including a broken cross and a card filled with strange writing, were brought in by the seller's ancestor, Charles Boone.

In order to get Salomon to buy more works of art so that he could afford to take drugs and endure the pain of rheumatism, the seller told Salomon an extremely horrifying story-in the story, there was an extremely evil house, an empty house, and so on. A strange town with no people, a child without eyes, a calf with two heads, many crazy living people and many equally crazy dead people.Different from making up bizarre stories to raise the price of auction items, Salomon knew as soon as he heard it that this was definitely not a fabricated story, and the story took place in the Boone family home about three miles north of Falmouth. House, a tributary of the Androscoggin River about eleven miles upstream from its estuary, is an abandoned town on the Royal River near Chapel White.

Salomon was sure they weren't just making it up because the addict mentioned a book.When the seller showed him the card, Salomon became even more convinced that it was a true story.For this reason, he deliberately put aside a lot of troubles after the Ultron incident, returned to the library at the Kama Taj headquarters to check the records, and finally found information about Charles Boone and the town of Jerusalem in a mission record from more than 100 years ago. material.According to Kamal Taj's mission record, the town of Jerusalem is just an ordinary abandoned town. There were traces of black magic activities in the past, but there were no abnormal phenomena.

The book was called "The Mystery of the Worm," and the card sent by Charles Boone contained a spell that could be used to summon an extraterrestrial monster hundreds of feet tall.

When he saw the seller again, the seller had died on the street due to a drug overdose.

This is what the police believe, but Salomon does not think so.Although he saw many traces of injections in the groin of the seller's body, the seller had only inhaled through the nasal cavity during the last meeting.In just half a month, it is not so easy for an addict to advance from nasal snorting to groin injection.All doubts were solved after he discovered an inconspicuous tattoo on the seller's body.

The organization to which this tattoo belongs was founded in the mountains of Romania in the 16th century and later moved to England and Scotland.After Kamal Taj wiped out this organization, the Coronzon Church reappeared in the United States.

Salomon touched the silver key under his clothes uneasily.

He couldn't find the soul of the seller and couldn't summon the ghost to answer his questions.But when he tried to cast the spell, the silver key suddenly became hot, and the mark on his hand also reminded him that this matter was related to the nameless god, the ruler of time and space and the unifier of all things.He could determine that both vampires and cultists were related to the town of Jerusalem in the story.If it weren't for the painting and the traces of vampire activity reported by Kamal Taj's informants, Salomon would never have noticed the place.He was convinced that the seller's death was inseparable from the cult of Yog-Sothoth, the One who unified all things.

He was also pretty sure that someone was trying to summon a monster using the magic book that Charles Boone had seen.

This matter was resolved by Salomon, while other mystics worked with the Sisters and the intelligence services to eliminate the Coronzon Church hidden in the United States.Agent Victoria Hand stopped hunting Hydra and devoted herself entirely to eradicating the cult.

"Sorry, no comment." Agent Hand bluntly rejected Natasha Romanoff's idea of ​​asking for information.

Agent Natasha Romanoff was a little uneasy about Salomon and Wanda's sudden disappearance.As a spy sent to the Immortal City by the Avengers (officially), she must know the actions of Salomon and Wanda, two unstable factors.Normally, she can selectively act as a double agent, but when those three sky carriers are activated, the danger level begins to increase infinitely.Even though the location of this operation included a downtown area, the Eternal City still prepared ammunition according to the standards of a high-intensity war.Agent Hand expressionlessly squeezed past Natasha, who was busy arranging the brainwashing process.All mortal agents who are about to undergo operations to exterminate cultists must undergo brainwashing and completely forget what they have seen and heard.This is an irrefutable procedure, and those who refuse to comply will be shot on the spot.She had to do it, she knew how easy it was to corrupt a mortal.A whisper, a symbol, a smile can turn a determined elite agent into a cultist in the coming days.

Stephanie's father, Gideon Malik, has climbed to a position with Salomon's help to help the Immortal City, and this mission will be his moment to make a difference.Loyalty is reward, and useful people are loyal people.

"Agent C-A1, Commander of the England Division." Agent Hand handed a mission procedure document to his subordinate, "This is your combat mission. C-A2, Commander of the Scotland Division, this is your combat mission. The CIA will provide you with intelligence support, but you must remember to keep your mouth shut and maintain your own agent quality. I will personally lead the combat team of the North American Division. When the signal from the Monarch is sent, we will act at the same time. .”

"Including operations in downtown?"

"If necessary, artillery fire can cover up all traces." Agent Hand glanced at the C-A2, "Collateral casualties are inevitable. Carry out the mission, Agent Weaver. This is the last time I call your name."
