Marvel: It Starts with a Spell

In Bruce Alley, the cold wind was blocked by the trash can at the entrance of the alley, and the remaining wind drifted into the alley with a sour smell. The ground was uneven and covered with sewage, and huge gray and black rats ran through the alley.

A man wrapped in a tattered coat was looking around at the entrance of the alley. After watching for a while, he wrapped his stained coat tightly and sneaked into the alley.

As he walked, he kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings, but he didn't know that in the darkness more than two meters away from him, a transparent figure was slowly following him.

"Bang, bang, bang--" He reached out and banged on a rusty, rotten door.

"Creaky--" A sharp sound of the door opening was heard, and a crack appeared in the rotten door. A middle-aged man with a big beard appeared behind the gap. The middle-aged man with a thick beard looked at the visitor with turbid blue eyes.

"It's me, Old Taylor." Half of his face stuck out from the hood of his coat. The middle-aged man called Old Taylor saw the person coming. His eyes narrowed slightly. Under his red rosacea nose, his mouth was full of buck teeth and smelled of alcohol.

"Drunkard Fuqi? Why are you here?" Old Taylor asked with a little confusion and pushed the door open.

"Of course I will participate in the experiment you mentioned. I heard that I can get a lot of money. Is that true?" The drunkard Fuqi walked in and as a strong cold wind blew into the room, he closed the door heavily.

"2100 US dollars. As long as you go for the drug trial, I will give you 1000 on the spot, and the remaining 1100 will be given to you when you finish the trial." Old Taylor picked up the cleanest wine glass on the table and poured a glass of wine for Fuqi.

Fuki took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Gulu - how much money can you get for drug testing normally? 1000 yuan, not more. It's 1100 yuan just for the initial drug testing. Who knows what kind of drugs they are using? The last time the price was so high, Rat Zeta went to Umbrella. I haven't seen him since then."

"Who can say for sure about this thing now? Mouse Zeta has tried it once or twice, who knows when he will be almost unable to bear it? It's all about risking your life to make quick money. Just decide whether you want to go or not?" Old Taile took a sip of wine and said while spitting.

"Go, why not go? You have only one miserable life, the sooner you die the sooner you will be reborn. Tell me, where are you going?" Fuqi poured himself another glass of wine.

"Wait a minute, when almost everyone is here, I'll take you there."

Li Huang sat in the corner without showing his figure, and heard everything the two said clearly. He then waited for more than an hour, and three or four people came one after another, including a skinny drug addict, a young man covered in tattoos, a gambler who had lost several fingers, and a man suffering from AIDS...

Old Taile looked at his watch and said, "It's almost time. Follow me and I'll take you there."

Several people stood up and followed Lao Taile out of the door. Li Huang followed them in the air and walked from the back of the room into another alley. After turning several corners, they found a parking lot. A black van was parked in the middle of the parking lot.

Old Taile knocked on the car window at a certain frequency. Two big men got out of the car, counted out a few banknotes and stuffed them into Old Taile's pockets. Then they said to the others, "After you get in the car, don't talk too much, don't ask too many questions, don't look too much..."

Due to the pistol on the other party's waist, the few people didn't say much and got in the car as arranged.

The vehicle started, and Lao Taile disappeared in the dark parking lot. Li Huang also followed the vehicle in stealth. After passing through a winding road, the vehicle drove into an abandoned factory. When he entered the underground of the abandoned factory, Li Huang discovered that there was another world underneath.

Various modern facilities form the appearance of a high-tech laboratory underground. The underground space is as bright as day. Hundreds of staff members are busy here. Guards with guns maintain high-intensity patrols. Experimenters in white coats move back and forth between the laboratories, and staff in gray clothes touch around at the behest of scientific researchers.

There are armed guards interspersed between almost every room, and 360° cameras are everywhere.

But these guys probably never imagined that an outsider had flown over their heads and even said hello to the camera.

Li Huang floated back and forth in the air searching for the location of the drug laboratory.

"The human body strengthening formula is about to undergo the second batch of experiments. Dr. Jon, please go to the laboratory..."

Li Huang stopped flying and followed the man called "Dr. Jon" into a laboratory.

"What is the physical condition of these experimenters?"

"It's terrible. The three or four batches of subjects sent here all have health problems to varying degrees. Some even have terminal illnesses."

"That's fine. This is the effect we want. Let's prepare to inject them with the medicine."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The assistant left the laboratory quickly, but ran back in less than two minutes.

"Huh? Why are you back again?"

"Dr. Jon, Mr. Osborn is here." As the assistant finished speaking, two figures appeared at the door of the laboratory. One of them was wearing a suit and smiling. It was Osborn. He looked like a kind middle-aged man, but the more Li Huang looked at him, the more strange he felt.

The other burly guy looked like his bodyguard, carrying a suitcase in his hand.

"Hello, Mr. Osborne."

"Don't be so reserved, Dr. Jon. I'm just here to observe the drug injection process." Osborn said gently with a smile on his face. He was so kind, as if this drug experiment was just a medical student conducting an experiment on mice.

"Ok, Mr. Osborne, please follow me. This is the improved solution from last time. Because the only semi-successful specimen last time was taken away by you, I have to find someone else to conduct the experiment."

When Li Huang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"The only semi-successful specimen last time was taken away by Osborn. Doesn't this mean that the black Green Goblin is a semi-successful specimen? What does this guy want to do?"

Looking at Osborne who was smiling brightly in front of him, Li Huang couldn't help but doubt his ambition.

"Because that guy turned from a drug addict into such a strong man, we selected a lot of people with poor physical fitness for the experiment this time..." Dr. Jon was explaining to Osborn.

Osborne suddenly signaled to the bodyguard to bring up the suitcase.

"Come and see this."

The suitcase was opened, and a chill slowly flowed through it. In the middle of the suitcase was a bottle of blue serum.

"What is this?" Dr. Jon's pupils trembled.

"This is the Super Soldier Serum. Legend has it that Captain America became Captain America after being injected with this stuff. I found a way to get one. I hope you can analyze its ingredients. It would be best if you can use this stuff to upgrade our human body enhancement formula."

"Oh my God, with this thing, I think our human body strengthening formula can be improved again and make it even more perfect." An unstoppable smile began to appear on Dr. Jon's face.

Li Huang quickly touched the serum with his fingertips, and information about the serum appeared before his eyes.

[Super Soldier Serum (Weakened Version)] can enhance the user's metabolic function and all body functions, increase brain utilization, stimulate human potential, and enhance human functions.

There is a small chance of failure in serum injection, an extremely small chance of benign mutation, and a certain chance of neither improving body function nor causing mutation.

This serum is a weakened version of the Super Soldier Serum. It is weaker than the original serum, has less improvement on the human body, is addictive, and requires continuous injection to maintain body functions.

Value: 5900 Exchange Points Selling Value: 2450 Exchange Points

"Weakened version? Could it be a replica made after the doctor's death in the original work? It's possible. I remember that the original version was made by the doctor, and the maker of this version is unknown. Maybe it is a replica from the outside world."

[Super-Soldier Serum] can enhance the user's metabolic function and all bodily functions, increase brain utilization, stimulate human potential, and strengthen the human body and mind.

Created by Dr. Abraham Erkins, it has a high probability of failure and a very low probability of benign mutation.

Value: 8760 Exchange Points Selling Value: 4380 Exchange Points

Li Huang thought about it and decided not to exchange it. After all, he already knew the location of the laboratory and could turn their improved human enhancement formula into exchange points later.

If I exchange this thing now, even though I will gain some exchange points, I don’t know what might go wrong.

"Very good, Doctor. I will increase the budget for the laboratory again. You just need to be responsible for developing this cute little gadget." Osborn said with satisfaction.

Li Huang became even more confused after hearing this. In the original book, the reason why Osborn became the Green Goblin was because the cooperation between the U.S. military and the Osborn Group was about to break down. In order to prevent his rival company from getting military investment, he needed to complete the experiment within two days. Under this urgent situation, he conducted a serum experiment using himself as a human experimental material and finally turned into the Green Goblin.

But looking at Osborn in front of him, it seemed that he had no sense of urgency at all, as if there was no pressure to cooperate with the military at all.

Thinking back to the board of directors of the Osborn Group, they joined forces to squeeze Norman Osborn out of the company just after taking the military order, allowing his evil side to be completely magnified. How could this group of directors support Norman Osborn so much when the human body enhancement formula has not yet been successful? In the original book, that group of guys was about to have their company's biggest business taken away, and they were still fighting openly and secretly.

This matter was full of doubts, which made Li Huang frown. He didn't know what had happened here. Staring at Norman Osborn, the more Li Huang looked, the more he felt that he couldn't see through this guy.

Norman Osborn seemed to have noticed something and actually looked up at Li Huang's position. Li Huang was so startled that he almost dropped the talisman.

Fortunately, there was a camera behind him, which made Norman think that someone in the monitoring room was watching him, so he retracted his gaze and said to the doctor beside him: "Doctor, you can start this drug experiment. I want to take a good look."

Following Norman Osborn's instructions, the group of people started to work. The laboratory and the room were separated by only a thick glass wall, which allowed Li Huang to clearly see the group of experimental subjects tied to the iron beds.

"You may begin, Mr. Osborne."

"Let's get started, Doctor."

Dr. Jon took a bottle of green human enhancement formula from the side, loaded it onto the machine, and pressed the button. As the green liquid in the bottle gradually disappeared, large amounts of green gas gushed out of the room where the experimental subject was locked up.

Green gas filled the room, obscuring their vision.

……

Forky is an old alcoholic. He has been influenced by alcohol since he was a child, from his father's alcoholism to his mother leaving home. His childhood life was filled with the taste of alcohol and pain, except for the last meal of spareribs with tomato sauce that his mother made for him. However, all this disappeared with the hazy feeling when he tasted alcohol for the first time, and he has fallen in love with this strange drink since then.

After graduating from elementary school, he dropped out of school and hung out on the streets with his bad friends, getting drunk all day long.

How old is he this year, relying on government relief and various dollars to buy alcohol?

Thirty? Forty?

Never mind, just let it all go away.

The people who were testing the drugs this time were quite particular. They even let them take a shower and change their clothes. Although it was winter, the room was quite warm. It was just that they were tied to the bed, which was a bit uncomfortable.

"Why are these guys releasing green smoke? It's not an experimental poison gas..."

In a cloud of green smoke, he thought of his father.

"You old bastard, you beat me up every day. You should have exploded with gold coins long ago. I shouldn't have waited until you drank yourself to death and strangled you to death..."

"Asshole Les, you stole my toys when you were a kid, I'm going to hang your whole family..."

"Mom, you left me behind and made me some pork ribs. I want to kill her... No! She is my mother, I can't... I should kill her... I can't..."

Fuki fell into a maddening pain. It seemed that another person appeared in his mind, wanting to destroy everything and kill everyone...

"Ah!" "Ah!" "I want you to die!"

In the room filled with green smoke, various screams like ghosts and wolves howling were heard. Li Huang felt a little bit reluctant, but a group of researchers in the laboratory and Osborn were smiling.

Osborn nodded: "Is it fixed this time?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Osborne. This time both the room and the fixed rack are..." an assistant hadn't finished speaking.

"Crack, crack - clang!" A man with green skin broke free from the frame and stood up. His muscles bulged and his face looked ferocious, like a green devil from hell.

"Bang! Bang!" He knocked on the glass wall frantically, as if he wanted to rush over and tear these people alive. His reaction made the people here feel numb.

"Start the anesthetic gas immediately!" Dr. Jon ordered. He had already seen the fist marks on the glass wall. These were tempered glass!

"Chichi-"

There was a hissing sound, as if some gas was being pumped into the room again, but this did not stop the green-skinned demon.

"Bang! Bang!" The knocking sound on the glass did not stop.

As the cracks in the glass grew bigger.

"Quick, quick, get out!" Everyone realized something was wrong and ran out of the lab. Li Huang had already taken the lead and flew out of the lab.

"Bang!" With a sound of breaking, glass fragments flew everywhere, and countless blood marks appeared on the bodies of the people cut by the rain of fragments. As the glass broke, green gas carrying anesthetic gas began to penetrate.

Everyone rushed to close the heavy laboratory door.

The subject threw a few more punches, trying to break open the not-so-big hole, but the anesthetic gas finally took effect, and the subject slowly fell down...

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Li Huang stared at Osborne's neck.

"How is it possible that his wounds healed so quickly?!"
