Shadow of the Beautiful World

Ding, ding, ding

At almost midnight, the phone in front of Amanda Waller's bedside table suddenly rang.

Ms. Waller, who has been haggard for the past few days, opened her eyes, grabbed the phone a little irritably, and looked at the number on the phone. Her drowsy expression immediately changed.

She didn't rush to answer the phone, but sat up first, patted her cheek to calm herself down.

The person who made this call is a real old fox.

She must deal with it carefully.

A few seconds later, Waller put the phone to her ear, and she said:

Fry... If I remember correctly, you're almost 70 years old, aren't you?

She said in a cold tone:

For an old man like you, it is really necessary to maintain a healthy routine. I don't want to go to your funeral secretly in a few years.

Each each other.

Fury's deep voice sounded on the phone, and he said:

If you can't find a cure, Waller, I'm afraid you will come before me... The white-haired man will send the black-haired man, my disciple, it will be too miserable.

snort.

Waller snorted coldly.

she says:

You called in the middle of the night just to talk about this?

No, I have something good to tell you.

Fury cut to the chase and said:

The lost silver coin was found. Some friends of mine accidentally snatched a silver coin in Texas, and now it's in my hands. It's a hot potato, and I don't want to take it.

So, you send someone over to collect the 'express delivery'.

Silver of Judas?

Waller's eyes narrowed immediately.

She thought for a while and said to Fury:

address!

Hell's Kitchen, 7th Street, my friend is waiting for you there.

A friendly reminder, Waller, you'd better send someone you absolutely trust. The Silver of Judas can disappear without a trace, which proves that your Celestial Eye Society is inside...hehe.

Fury hung up the phone.

Waller looked at the phone in her hand with a cloudy expression on her face. After a few seconds of hesitation, she dialed another number.

Hello? Alice?

I want to trouble you, do one thing for me.

Waller passed on the address Fury told her to her agent, and after she finished speaking, she urged:

Be careful, this could be a trap...

Waller said to the man on the phone:

Protecting yourself is the most important thing. If you lose that thing, you will lose it... An old friend of mine is right. That thing is a hot potato. If it is not in our hands, it may be the best result.

An hour later, wearing a black windbreaker and a soft-brimmed hat, Alice, the mysterious young lady who accepted Waller's order, appeared on the streets of Hell's Kitchen.

This young lady has a great figure, perfect legs, a face with Eastern European features, and piercing eyes.

The most important thing is her expression.

It seems that no matter when, no matter who he treats, there is an indifferent face on that pretty face.

Like a mask.

Under the streetlight in front of Alice, a guy who was also wearing a windbreaker, cool sunglasses, a cropped cut, and a knife behind his back was leaning against the electric pole.

There was a box at his feet.

Former S.H.I.E.L.D. Advisor to Mystery Affairs, Vampire Hunter Blade!

This guy happened to be doing justice in this hellish place in New York recently. After receiving a call from Commander Hill, he didn't refuse.

It's not a big deal just to help s.d.o.l.d. deliver a random item.

Probably because of Merlin, Blade didn't have much dislike for this organization.

Under the illumination of the lights, this dead street became more and more quiet, except for the sound of stray cats flipping the trash can, there was only a entrenched dead silence.

No serious person would go out at this time.

With her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, Alice approached the blade with graceful steps.

The latter glanced at Alice, and he pointed to the box under his feet.

This is what you want, take it away.

Alice also took a look at Blade, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

On the surface, this black man doesn't seem to be too much of a threat. Why does my instinct keep reminding me that this is a very dangerous guy?

Alice is no ordinary person.

She is a secret agent that Waller brought back from some mysterious place, and has no memory of her past.

She only trusts Waller now, is Waller's good friend and most effective combat agent.

Thanks.

Alice picked up the box, and thanked Blade very politely and coldly.

Then she turned to leave.

But the next moment, behind her, came the sound of a sharp knife being unsheathed.

Dao Feng pulled out his holy silver battle sword from behind, and his nose moved.

He said:

Weird guys are coming, there are a lot of them, I will block them...you go!

Alice also felt that in this deserted street, in those floating shadows, some creatures that did not belong to this world were appearing.

A malice is spreading.

The crisis instinct in the body is also frantically warning.

This is a situation she has never encountered since she woke up.

She did not leave with the box as Blade said.

Instead, she carried the case in one hand while pulling the other out of her pocket.

An invisible thought force wrapped around her fingertips.

She was also ready to fight.

swish

The dark behemoth flapped its wings and crossed the night sky. In the shadow cast by the wings of the strange creature, an indescribable stench was blown to the entire street along with the night wind.

Amidst the weird sound of quicksand swaying, under the dim street lamp, Blade and Alice looked at the guys who came out of the darkness around them in a back-to-back posture.

The foul-smelling body, the scorched yellow and decayed cloth strips, the hoarse roar, the twisted and stumbling figure in the dark night.

High-level ghost creature...cursed mummy.

A whole 12!

Beside the foul-smelling tomb creatures, there are twisted beings that seem to jump out of the shadows.

They are like hounds shaped by black mud, no matter how distorted their shapes are, they all have sharp white teeth that can chew through steel and fill most of their faces.

wow

The icy wind became more fierce with the flapping of the wings of some kind of large creature.

Alice's hat was blown up, as were the skirts of her and Blade's clothes.

Behind them, among the mummies and twisted demons, a strange raptor like a bone dragon, made entirely of shadows and bones, folded its wings and landed on the ground under the dim light.

Amidst the entanglement of shadows, a strange woman was standing there.

She was wearing a set of clothes that were very similar to ancient sacrificial robes, with gold or silver ring ornaments on her body, and black leather armguards on her arms, but her pale fingers were exposed.

A red turban was draped behind his head, but it did not cover his head.

She has a slender figure, but she has a strange sense of thinness.

Most importantly, there was no hair on her head, just a smooth scalp.

Outside the slender eyes and lips, there is a strange black oil paint.

This outfit...

Very strange.

In her left hand she held a weapon as bizarre as her attire.

It looked like a poleaxe.

The whole body is dark, but the ax blade is not located on the left or right side of the battle axe, but is placed horizontally on the top of the battle ax in a shovel posture, and there are unclear patterns on it.

This thing should be a weapon only used in some ancient sacrificial ceremonies.

At least Blade and Alice have never seen anyone who would really use it as a weapon. The weird shape of this thing makes its lethality terrible.

But it's not the weapons that are dangerous.

It's the man with the weapon.

this woman!

not to be trifled.

When he saw her, Dao Feng clenched the holy silver sword in his hand.

The legendary power from Vlad III was warning him that if he didn't want to fall into the eternal death of a vampire... he had better not annoy this woman in front of him, who looked very weird from every angle.

Silver, hand it over!

The woman stepped onto the ground from her skeletal mount, and wherever she walked, the solid ground would turn into scattered quicksand.

She looked at Blade and Alice, and said in a cold voice:

Don't make me do it myself!

I don't doubt your resolve, ma'am.

Dao Feng held the Holy Silver Battle Sword in both hands, he took a step diagonally, and stood in front of Alice, he said:

But I doubt you can do what you claim... Go!

With a roar, the dazzling blood light spread from the blade's body, like a shining storm of blood.

Dao Feng rushed towards the woman in black in front of him with a battle knife in his hand. As he ran, the dancing blood turned into sharp spears, nailing all the twisted demons that were rushing towards him to the ground.

The vampire hunter is the bottom of the box when he makes a move.

Accompanied by the surge of legendary power, his cheeks became ferocious, like a cloud of blood, flashing behind the weird woman in an instant.

The silvery cold light tore through the darkness and slashed towards the woman's neck.

clang

The sound of metal clanging resounded in this silent street. In front of the blade, the black ritual battle ax in the woman's hand easily blocked the bloody attack.

Speed ​​is enough...

The woman grinned dangerously, and she said:

The strength is much worse!

boom

At the same time that the fight between Blade and the weird woman started, Alice gritted her teeth and rushed to the other side.

While her long hair was flying, the mysterious woman raised her hand, and the huge telekinetic power exploded in front of her eyes like an invisible shell, blasting the three mummy who were throwing themselves at her high into the sky.

Alice's movements were also extremely quick.

It was like a shadow leaping into the darkness, only to disappear in this dead and silent street in a blink of an eye.

Her running movements are extremely vigorous, but I don't know if it is an illusion. When her speed increases, there is always a flash of light under her skin.

Just like magma.

This... is the power of the virus?

Alice ran with all her strength, she was like a erratic shadow, and there was a roaring mummy blocking the way in front of her.

But the handsome and heroic young lady turned her body in the air, and her feet were covered with black horniness, like the hooves of a monster.

The two pounced mummies were repulsed by the scorching strange force. With the help of the recoil force, Alice quickly jumped onto the house next to her and rushed into the night.

After a few minutes of running, he left Hell's Kitchen and entered Manhattan.

But at the moment when she was trying to cross the Hudson River, the bird of prey mixed with shadows and bones fell silently, carrying its master to block Alice's eyes.

The eccentric woman stood behind the raptor.

Her black robe was cut several times, but her appearance here meant that in just a few minutes, she defeated Blade, or rather, Blade failed to stop her.

Don't struggle to your death, girl.

The strange woman said:

You have good physical fitness, but you don't know how to fight at all... You are much weaker than that vampire just now.

Give me the money, and you can leave.

Alice pursed her lips, she felt an urge to fight, but what Waller had said on the phone earlier resurfaced in her mind.

Perhaps, Waller may have anticipated this situation.

Alice looked vigilantly at the black-robed bald woman in front of her. After ten seconds of mental struggle, she let out a sigh of relief, threw the box to the woman, then turned around and flew away in another direction.

The strange woman standing behind the skeletal bird of prey stared at the direction Alice was leaving, a cold gleam flashed in her eyes painted with black oil paint.

But in the end, she didn't have any more troubles.

The skeletal raptor under her feet flapped its wings, rushed into the sky like a silent shadow, and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

And at the place where the woman and Alice confronted each other just now, on the branch on the bank of the Hudson River, no one noticed that a dark red raven spirit was standing there.

Merlin's consciousness is connected to the body of his patron saint.

He turned his head and looked at the direction Alice left. He was basically sure that the girl was the only perfect new human that Ouroboros created before arriving on stage.

Merlin was very curious about this girl's potential and abilities.

But that's not the most important thing right now.

The spirit of the raven spread its wings and flew into the sky like a real ghost, chasing the woman in black robe who left.

Merlin knew that powerful and mysterious woman.

They had met once.

In fact, that woman was one of the targets he was desperately looking for now.

That is the daughter of the god of the underworld, Osiris.

An Egyptian demigod expelled from his father's kingdom.

Razan the Night Jackal...

Judging by her appearance, it doesn't seem like she is being controlled by some kind of force.

But why, a powerful demigod from Egypt, would get involved in this troublesome business?

Merlin really became more and more curious.
