Shadow of the Beautiful World
8. Deterioration
Run!
Thunderbolt and the Deadlock gang fought, a lot of blood!
Mommy mommy!
There are children in there! Damn it! Don't step on it!
The headquarters of the Heroes Association was in chaos, and the terrified people rushed to escape the canteen that had been covered in flames.
In the passage leading to the gate, the shouts of adults and the cries of children mixed together, making the scene look extremely chaotic.
The passage leading to the first floor was so wide, and hundreds of people tried to pass through there, which naturally pushed some people to the ground, including children who couldn't resist.
Peter, stay here!
In the chaos, Ben Parker pushed his nephew into the smoking room between the restaurant and the gymnasium. While closing the door, he said to the panicked little Peter:
Don't come out!
After speaking, Ben rushed towards the children who had been knocked to the ground. With difficulty, he pulled the disgraced children out of the crowd and pushed them into the smoking room.
The panting middle-aged man also tried to save more people who were pushed to the ground.
But he was just an ordinary person after all, among the panicked crowd, Ben was quickly pushed to the ground.
There was fear in his eyes, but he still hugged the little girl in his arms tightly, protecting him with his own body.
Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben!
Little Peter and the other rescued children lay on the window of the smoking room, looking helplessly at Ben Parker who was drowned in the crowd.
Little Peter was so flustered that he was afraid of hitting the glass. After a few seconds of panic, the child quickly calmed down.
He remembered what Uncle Merlin had said to him, put the black watch on his hand to his mouth, and screamed:
Sister Icarus! Help!
boom
Two seconds later, the Black Fortress prototype flying at supersonic speed shattered the window in a handsome gesture and flew into the smoking room.
Under the surprised or curious gazes of the children, the rectangular head shining with pink light turned around. It looked at Peter Parker, and then issued Icarus' gentle voice:
Don't be afraid, sister is here!

This is the Daily Planet, Eddie Brock is reporting live for you.
An hour later, at the entrance of the messy Hero Headquarters, while being filmed by the camera, investigative reporter Eddie in a black leather jacket said with a serious expression:
An hour ago, there was an unfortunate accident at Superhero HQ.
The two heroes got into a fight over an altercation, which culminated in a chaotic brawl involving hundreds of innocent tourists.
More than a dozen people were injured because of this, and because today is the opening day of the Heroes Association, a terrible stampede was triggered in the chaos
Eddie looked back at the bloodstains left on the square and the debris thrown around, and he could imagine how chaotic the scene was.
He sighed and said:
According to the news we have received so far, more than 30 people have been sent to the hospital, including several heroes who rescued innocent people, and several enthusiastic citizens who tried to help.
The headquarters of the Heroes Association is currently closed. After this regrettable incident, the Heroes Association has not yet made an official statement.
But the honorary president of the New York Association of Heroes, Mr. Luke Cage, will accept an exclusive interview with this station in 20 minutes.
He will comment on the matter and we will continue to monitor the matter.
Snapped
In the Heroes headquarters, where the door was closed to welcome guests, the female knight Jessica Jones turned off the TV in annoyance. Beside her, all the high-level officials of the Heroes' Association were there, but no one said a word.
Tell me.
Cage is going to be interviewed in order to try to minimize the influence of this matter, but Jessica Jones has another matter in her heart besides the worry about this matter itself. her heart.
The Hell's Kitchen incident three years ago is repeated today.
Chief Merlin's relatives, this time his brother-in-law, the fat middle-aged man was seriously injured by the panicked crowd in order to save a child. Although he was rescued by a black robot at a critical moment, but
call
Jessica, who is a non-staff agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., shook her body. She tried to calm herself down. She looked at the people in front of her and said:
It's already happened and keeping quiet won't fix it. Where are the two guys who started it all?
Rooney was taken away by the Deadlock Gang. Jonathan is being locked in the room, and his sister and brother-in-law are with him.
Miss Dagger in white said softly:
I have seen their injuries, they are all skin trauma.
hehe.
Jessica gave a sneer and said:
Send a message to the restless Miss Ash and ask her to come back and deal with this trouble.
No.
The cloak suddenly raised his head, looked towards the door of the conference room, and said:
She's here.
Snapped
The next moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Ash, who was wearing a black windbreaker, a black cowboy hat, and riding boots, strode into the room expressionlessly.
Behind her, Bob the Mechanical Butler and Roman, the second in command of the Deadlock Gang, followed.
And Rooney, the guy who caused all this, was dragged into the meeting room by two deadlock gang heroes with a pale face.
He has obviously been punished.
The naked upper body and back were covered with glaring welts, and Miss Ash really didn't show mercy.
Where's Jonathan the Human Torch?
Ash looked around, and she said coldly to the senior executives in front of her:
Let him come out and I'll apologize instead of my stupid subordinate.
You better calm down.
Jessica sat in a chair and said to Ash:
You also have some connections with that organization. You should know that there are more troubles in this matter than that.
I know.
Ash sighed. After receiving the news, she rushed back from Detroit. That city is now the new base camp of the Deadlock Gang. Ash has managed it very well, but the territory in New York must not be lost.
The troubles caused by this incident have only just begun.
Several of my media companies have already started to take action, but they need the cooperation of the association.
Ash said softly:
There is also the matter of Mr. Ben. I am very sorry. I have already made an appointment for him with the best surgeon and the best treatment equipment. I will pay for everything.
It's not about the money.
The silent cloak shook his head, and Miss Dagger beside him also let out a soft sigh.
As a person who experienced the Hell's Kitchen incident that year, she was also in a very uncomfortable mood at this time.
During the three years of heroic career, she and the cloak have saved hundreds of people and prevented many bad situations, but the shadow of the 17 dead still hangs over the two of them.
That is a sin that takes a lifetime to pay for.
Let's settle this matter first!
Ash pushed her hair back and said:
The Deadlock gang won't run away from problems, let Jonathan come out, we're here to sort this out.
Jessica glanced at Ash, she nodded to the cloak, the figure of the cloak disappeared, and a few minutes later, accompanied by Susan and Dr. Reed, Jonathan with a dark face also walked into the conference room.
This young man is impulsive and likes to be sought after, but he is not a bad person by nature.
After knowing that his recklessness caused a serious accident, he was in a bad mood.
Lord Jonathan.
Ash said to the Human Torch in front of him:
My subordinate did something wrong, and I apologize to you on his behalf.
Jonathan was also at fault.
Susan, Jonathan's sister, spoke:
We too
Ash stretched out her hand and interrupted Susan's words. She glanced at the pale Rooney behind her. This guy was one of the few old members who joined the Deadlock Gang when it was first established.
Which hand hit him?
Ash asked coldly.
Rooney probably guessed what the eldest sister was going to do. He gritted his teeth and stretched out his left hand without saying a word.
Ash gestured.
Behind her, the street hero Roman, who was wearing a tighter Roman armor, sighed, and drew his short sword from behind, and the long sword chopped down amidst the exclamations of Susan and Reed.
With blood splattered everywhere, Rooney let out a dull cry of pain, and his left hand was cut off entirely.
Miss Dagger immediately stood up, threw a few radiant daggers, and pierced Rooney's body. The healing energy in the radiance exploded, stopping the bleeding in an instant.
What are you doing?
Jessica said dissatisfiedly:
What kind of place do you think this is? Is it the hall of the little bastard? Play your tricks here!
Don't be silly, Jessica.
Ash said coldly:
If you don't do that, how can you explain to 'him'?
Jessica froze for a moment, she immediately understood the meaning of Ash's move.
She wanted to save the lives of her subordinates, and at the same time apologized to Merlin who she couldn't offend in this way.
Although it is full of the rough action mode of the gangsters, I have to say that Ash really played beautifully.
Rooney, do you know your mistake?
Ash asked.
The dead end gang member whose arm was cut off gritted his teeth, and said hoarsely:
I know I was wrong, big sister, I am willing to bear all the costs, whether it is going to court or going to prison, I am willing to do it. This is what I caused, and has nothing to do with the Deadlock Gang!
We're done apologizing.
Ash turned his head to look at Thunderbolt Jonathan, his eyes were full of chill.
Now it's your turn.
I
Jonathan looked at the severed hand in a pool of blood on the ground. He was not used to this kind of occasion, and the scene in front of him shocked him too much.
You may not be clear about the situation, let me explain.
Jessica sighed, and she said to Susan and Dr. Reed:
It is an unforgivable mistake to cause chaos and cause innocent people to be injured, but what is even worse is that among those injured, there is a figure close to Deputy Director Merlin who was injured in order to save people.
The internal disposal of the Heroes Association can be carried out at any time, but you must first find a way to appease the anger of Lord Merlin.
The expressions of Susan and Reed changed slightly.
But before they could speak, another belated guest appeared in the conference room.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Senior Agent Commander Jesse McCree knocked on the door of the meeting room.
He walked into it with a cigar in his mouth. He looked at the scene in the meeting room, saw Rooney kneeling on the ground and the severed hand, and he couldn't help frowning.
Ash! Why are you still playing this game!
McCree walked up to Ash, and he said in a deep voice:
You can't manage them the way you manage gangs
Actually, I think I can.
Ash glanced at her lover, and she said:
What are you doing here?
What else can I do here?
McRae took off his cigar, he looked at the others, and he said:
I came to investigate this matter under the order of Minister Coulson. Everyone, don't rush to punish them. There may be other factors behind this matter.
He knelt down and looked at the pale Rooney. McCree picked up a sign of Yaxi, and said:
Don't resist, I need to know the facts, tell me, what were you thinking before you impulsively provoke Human Torch?
Under the effect of the Yaxi seal, Rooney's expression became dull. He is a superhuman with a strengthened body. He can fight in the form of a beast, and his spiritual power is not strong.
Under McCree's guidance, he said hoarsely:
We were taking pictures with fans, and Human Torch was there. He was very high-profile, and everyone didn't like him on weekdays. Moreover, he seduced Sam's girlfriend a few months ago.
I don't!
Jonathan retorted:
I didn't know it at the time, and she and Sam had broken up!
Hush!
McRae stretched out his hand, put it on his mouth, and made a silent motion to Thunderbolt. He looked at Rooney again, and he asked:
Then what?
We were talking, going to play poker after get off work, and then I heard someone say that Human Torch is a bitch, and I thought it made sense, so we started talking bad about him
Everyone doesn't like him.
Rooney said:
The more everyone talks, the more angry they become. Everyone is jealous of him. He is handsome, powerful, and eloquent. Unlike us, we can only rely on our lives to attract fans.
I became more and more angry, and I couldn't stand it, so I decided to make some trouble for him.
I was very impulsive but there was a fire burning inside.
Um.
McRae nodded, he looked at Jonathan again, and he said:
What about you? What did you think at the time?
I didn't think much of it.
Thunderbolt got into trouble, he said honestly:
At that time, he made a mess of me with a dirty handkerchief. I wanted to stop him. I wanted him to go away, but when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know why. On impulse, I said let him go. roll
If I had known it was going to be like this, I wouldn't have said that.
Um.
McRae nodded again, he put away the Axi seal, and said to the others:
There is little information, but it cannot be ruled out that the fight between the two of them was deliberately provoked.
Psychic hints are uncommon, but definitely not uncommon.
As far as I know, there are no less than 15 people in New York City who can do this, but this is the first time that such a daring trick has been used in the headquarters of the League of Legends. I need more
Didi, Didi
Before McRae finished speaking, everyone present, including Rooney and Jonathan, sounded beeping sirens.
This is a call for help from within the Heroes Association.
Ash took out her phone, glanced at it, and her expression changed. She raised her head and met Jessica's eyes.
What's wrong?
McRae noticed the seriousness in the expressions of the two women, and he asked:
What happened?
event!
Ash said to his lover:
The real big thing, it's getting worse.
