Marvel's Great Old Ones

"Oh, save me. I don't know how you are going to save me. You must know that my Osborne Group is the largest arms supplier to the U.S. military. I don't know if I have any trouble and need your help."

Norman turned around with a smile and took a look at the yellow man on the sofa who didn't look serious.

"Doesn't this gentleman know that it is very rude to visit someone without informing them of their identity and name?"

It was a man wearing a black shabby suit. He looked about twenty-one or twelve years old and had messy hair. His eyes were blurred and lazy, like a dead person without focus, and there was an inexplicable feeling of chaos in his body. He was shadowy and absent from the world, as if there was a barrier between him.

He didn't believe a word that the other party came in through a ventilation duct. How could a person pass through a ventilation duct that was covered with surveillance cameras and divided into fist-sized grids.

In ten minutes at most, the Osborne Security Department, who realizes something is wrong in the office, will surround the place. By then, this guy's life and death will all be under his hands.

The Osborne Group is not like those underground gangs. They are serious arms dealers. The personnel and firepower of their group's security department are not comparable to those of ordinary armies.

Norman confidently walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at the yellow man opposite, waiting for his answer.

"Ah, how rude, Mr. Norman, my name is Li Xiu, I am the...god of the Church of Fools!"

Li Xiu stood up in a pretentious manner, bent down and made a nondescript bow.

"Church of Fools? Gods?"

Norman, who had confirmed that the other party was not carrying a firearm, sat up straight with a arrogant look on his face. He was just a madman who had come in for some unknown reason. He originally thought it was a flag sent by that force to seek cooperation. .seven

"Chairman, the security department has detected an unidentified person in your office. Please stay calm. Our people have arrived at the corridor outside the office and can enter at any time. Please calm the other party temporarily and confirm whether the other party has armed forces. .”

The anxious voice of the security minister came from the skinny earphones. The other party had sent people to block the corridor, although there was no sound from outside.

Norman's face calmed down completely, he leaned on the sofa and said, "Who sent you here? I don't seem to have had any conflicts with any forces."

"Oh, Mr. Norman, I told you, I'm here to save you." Li Xiu moved his upper body closer to Norman and whispered: "The Osborne family is sick, and I can cure it."

The voice was very low, like a sleazy businessman selling something incredible on the street.

Norman's face was calm, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"What kind of disease? Why didn't I know I was still sick? You are not one of those companies that want to use the Osborne Group to produce some bullshit medicine, are you?"

"You don't believe it?" Li Xiu's ears twitched slightly and he heard the movement in the corridor outside.

"Are you looking green? As the saying goes, if you want to live a good life, you must have a little green on your body. I think Mr. Norman is living a good life."

"Oh my, little Manman, it's not like you're going to die if you get cheated. You're not even forty yet, and little Harry hasn't grown up yet. The Osborne Group is yours now. I believe it. Sooner or later, you will have to solve this problem one day, but now I can help you save this time."

Norman's face slowly turned gloomy. The guy opposite him actually knew the physical characteristics of his illness and the last moment, and who was behind it.

I have never heard of what kind of force the Church of Fools is, they just come from nowhere.

"What do you want?" His tone was a little bad, suppressing his anger.

Li Xiu suddenly stood up and said, "Do you believe that I am here to save you?"

"I don't believe you can solve this problem. I invest billions every year in genetic research but still can't solve it. I don't believe you can solve it."

Norman said with an ugly face: "What do you mean by saving me? You have already developed genetic drugs?"

"Oh, of course not. Sometimes when science cannot solve things, we can use theology!"

Li Xiu's figure flashed and he instantly stepped across the coffee table between the sofas. He poked Norman's forehead with a finger, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"what!"

Norman exclaimed, his eyes blurred, and that guy had already appeared in front of him. A cold and biting, slippery nausea spread from the other person's fingers into his scalp, as if a cold fleshy skin covered his brain.

An unprecedented feeling of fear erupted from Norman's body, and even his instincts were resisting contact with the other party, as if there was some filthy and terrifying existence on the other side that would tear him to pieces and swallow him at any time.

But his body seemed to be frozen, unable to react at all. He could only stand there blankly until Li Xiu retracted his finger.

Knowledge, along with this nauseating feeling came a part of the knowledge about ritual sacrifices called Rouzhi Extending Life. Although it is only part of it, and there are often some nouns missing, but if the knowledge inside is true, It can definitely cure the genetic disease that has plagued the Osborne family for hundreds of years.

"Mr. Norman! Mr. Norman, what happened? Damn it, launch an attack..."

The nervous call of the security minister came from the skinny earphones. He heard Norman's exclamation because something went wrong.

But Norman was still immersed in the knowledge that came from him, and it wasn't until the sound of the attack that he woke up from his daze.

"Wait!" He quickly stopped the security minister and asked the security personnel to evacuate.

Although the method of transmitting knowledge was very strange and miraculous, Norman still felt incredible and even unbelievable about the knowledge about life extension in his mind.

"This... these things are real!" Norman's eyes widened. He didn't believe in these mysterious and mysterious things. After all, he had never been exposed to these things.

He has always accepted an unswerving materialist view of scientific debate and is an outstanding expert in biology and chemistry. But that unscientific method of knowledge transmission knocked a big hole in his concept.

"Uh-huh, you don't believe it!" Li Xiu walked around in the office, his mind spinning rapidly, trying to find a less exotic ability to show Norman.

Unfortunately, sadly, due to his bizarre aesthetics and life values, most of his abilities are not suitable for display.

"囩MOSAT婩倗彗婷帝比药, SA嚩目瀰比药, SA嚩佗倛啰吒, Zannamaha Lusanagnana, 佉嬬佉呬Sa嚩尾觐南, hum, 倛啰吒Regret wheat. 曩 Mosa 嚩倗宗帝比药,Sa婩目奇比药,Sa婩佗怛啰吒,zanāmahaluṭṭhāna,佉嬬佉呬Sa婩婷觐南彐, 怛啰"Zha regrets the wheat." (Taoist, Samadhi True Fire Mantra)

Along with Li Xiu's muttered words, a bright, beating flame of three colors appeared on Li Xiu's fingertips.

This is the flame he summoned using the power of faith and a fire-calling spell in the Nine Chapters of Xuanjun's Secret Scripture.

Don't look at the flame, which is only a small wisp. It uses the power of faith transformed from the old characteristics as fuel. It is equivalent to using divine power as the fuel. Burning this building to white ash is not a problem.

As the flames appeared, a palpitating feeling suddenly appeared in the hearts of people within a few miles radius, as if a disaster was imminent, but they could not find the reason for this feeling.

At this time, Norman, who was standing opposite Li Xiu, turned pale and collapsed on the sofa. He was still trying his best to lean back and get farther away from that thing. A thick chill came from top to bottom. , as if about to freeze him.

Fortunately, Li Xiu extinguished the flame with a flip of his hand after Norman saw the flame clearly. Otherwise, the chairman of Osborne Group might not have died of a genetic disease but a heart attack.

"Do you believe it now?" Li Xiu looked at the embarrassed Norman with a teasing look.

Now speaking, Norman looked like a man who had drowned on the beach, his expression was pale, his whole body was weak, and his face was covered with cold sweat.

"I... believe it, really believe it!" Norman waved his hands repeatedly and reluctantly sat up from the sofa.

After being frightened for a while, a feeling of ecstasy took over Norman's heart. The Osborne family's century-old nightmare was finally about to be solved!

After the ecstasy, what came to Norman's heart was worry, worrying that Li Xiu would make any excessive demands.

He looked at Li Xiu who was sitting on the sofa again, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you want. How do you plan to help me?"

"Well, I've already said it. I am the God of the Church of Fools. As long as you are willing to join the Church of Fools, I will help you."

"Join the Church of Fools?!"

Norman frowned. There are many ways to answer the question. Should he join with everything, or should he just join the faith like joining Christianity?

Seeing Norman frowning, Li Xiu knew what he was worried about, and said with a smile: "You don't need to do anything else to join the Church of the Fool, it's just a matter of joining the faith."

Li Xiu is not worried that he will lose money. As long as he starts to believe in Cthulhu, Norman can say that he has sold his soul to him. Then he will have nothing to worry about.

"This...isn't appropriate." Norman's eyes hesitated. He knew that sometimes the free ones are the most expensive, especially in Europe and the United States where profit is important, or in the upper-class places where people eat people without spitting out their bones.

After several rounds of persuasion, Li Xiu accepted the $100 million check in order to reassure Norman, and also asked Norman to help introduce high-level military, political and business people who "need" such services.

In particular, he remembered that in "Iron Man 2" there was a vice president who was bribed by Killian. The old guy had a granddaughter with a lower limb disability, which was very easy to bribe.

By then, with such a big net, I dare not say anything else, but at least the Church of Fools can really get on the stage.

Today’s harvest is very good, this is the first step of the plan!

"That's it." Li Xiu waved to Norman happily, turned and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

"You..." Norman wanted to say something, but Li Xiu waved his hand back, saying that he didn't need to care.

Li Xiu rubbed his feet on the ground a few times and jumped forward.

boom!

A black "big cake" was spread evenly on the 30-centimetre-thick special bullet-proof window on the top floor of the Osborne Group.

The bulletproof windows here do not refer to bullets, but to the expensive glass developed by the Osborne Group to prevent missile bombings.

Li Xiu originally thought it was ordinary bulletproof glass that he could kick open, but he made a mistake, so this embarrassing scene occurred.

Norman suppressed a smile and controlled the glass to open, letting the dark-faced Li Xiu leave.

On the Osborne Tower, which is several hundred meters high, a group of black crows slid down and flew into the distance.

This is the flying mimicry developed by Li Xiu. It is small, difficult to detect, and unnoticeable. Although other more subtle birds could be used, crows are so cool!

As soon as he entered Brooklyn, Li Xiu received a call from Li Mo.

Stopping on the rooftop of an office building, Li Xiu took out the phone from the body of a larger crow.

"Crooked, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Li Xiu, I am Heizi, and the boss was attacked on the street..."
