The Monster Queen's Superhero [Comprehensive British and American]
Chapter 98 The Mysterious Sacrifice Ceremony
The scene in the laboratory is incredible.
The new device developed by Tony works successfully, visualizing a certain power in Shane's body on the screen.
It's like playing an old-fashioned black and white movie. The scene is the room of the European nobles in the Middle Ages, with a strong sense of age.The owner of the room is handsome and extremely gloomy Dracula. He occupies the screen like a black shadow, and the black and white picture shows his pale face to the fullest.The face is thin and angular, the dark circles are thick, but the eyes are big and sharp, and the thick black hair is uncluttered at the back of the head. It has to be said that the combination of these contradictory features produces a morbid aesthetic feeling.
He came to the sofa unhurriedly, with a skull-headed cane between his legs, his thin figure sat down slowly, and his black cloak was spread out on the sofa.Dracula followed closely behind the mummy and the siren queen. The mummy was covered in bandages, her face was carved with ancient Egyptian runes, her eyes showed golden pupils, and the siren queen on the other side On the other hand, her whole body was covered with crystal clear scales, and her long hair flowed as if soaked in water.
The three of them seemed familiar to each other, the siren queen was leaning against the wall, and the mummy lady seemed unwilling to sit on the sofa with Dracula, she chose the chair next to the candlestick.After they were done, they looked in the direction of Shane and Tony at the same time.
There is a feeling of being stared at by the characters in it when watching a movie, which makes people feel uncomfortable.Tony has always been very confident in his own research, but this time he wanted to visualize Shane's power and present it on the screen. Tony also had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.I really want to thank the "characters" in Shane's body. It is through their power that the visualization is completed. The room on the screen is Dracula's masterpiece.
Compared with Tony's silence, Xia Nai's acceptance of this scene is much higher. The "people" in front of him are very similar to his imagination, and they can even develop a sense of intimacy.
"Can you hear me?" She asked the screen, they were all characters in her "body", suddenly there was a strange feeling of talking to herself.
Xia Nai's words echoed throughout the laboratory, the black and white images flickered, and it seemed like half a century had passed in a few seconds.The look of the "person" on the screen changed slightly, Dracula's dry and pale lips moved up and down, and the deep voice came again, "I can hear every word you say, including the sound of your heartbeat and blood flow .”
The sound of heartbeat and blood flow, this is really in line with Dracula's hobby.
The mummy lady next to him glanced at him and said, "Dracula, you're still acting like this." After speaking, her eyes turned to Tony's position, and she continued with a half smile on her face, "Xia Nai, you really found a good helper, mere It is unexpected that a weak human being can contact us in this way."
The corner of Tony's mouth curled up as a return to Miss Mummy's yin and yang, "If it's a compliment, I accept it."
Miss Mummy narrowed her eyes, "You should feel extremely honored, humble human being."
Clearly not taking Tony seriously, Xia Nai quickly got to the point before the genius started talking, and she asked: "Since we have established a relationship, I have something to say, and there has always been a question like a fog." It bothers me, although you have brought me powerful abilities, what is going on? Why is it me, why did you choose to appear on me?"
Xia Nai asked the question that had troubled her for a long time in one breath. She was waiting for the answer to be revealed, and even Tony beside her held her breath.
The three "dark messengers" in the picture looked at each other, and there was a silent communication between the eyes, and finally Dracula said: "I can understand your question, my lady, but there is one important point you got wrong , We didn’t choose you, and you didn’t choose us.”
"What?" Xia Nai was stunned, she hurriedly looked at Tony, and Tony shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand.
Fortunately, Dracula doesn't like to go around in circles. He further explained: "We let you inherit the abilities. That's right. On the surface, we took the initiative, but strictly speaking, these are passive existences. Implanted into your body, activated in a specific environment, so that you can inherit our abilities. From your point of view, we have given you the opportunity to choose, but from our point of view, apart from you, We have no choice."
……
A long period of silence followed, especially for Xia Nai, who was too shocked to speak, and her mind was completely messed up.Fortunately, Tony's train of thought was still on the line. He continued to ask questions along the lines of the question: "You said that you were implanted in Xia Nai's body. According to this statement, who implanted it? What is the purpose?"
"Human beings always have so much curiosity." Miss Mummy glanced at Tony contemptuously, with sarcasm in her tone, "But we can't answer this question, it's already in Xia Nai's body when we realize our own existence , so what happened to her, we have no way of knowing."
Xia Nai frowned and muttered: "It seems that the problem lies in the part where I lost my memory." She used to think that the memory loss was a sequela caused by time travel, but now it seems that it is not that simple, something must have happened to her before !
As for the ability to be implanted, this also proves that she was not born with the ability, but acquired it later. Whether it was artificial or accidental is still a mystery.
Xia Nai was upset, she began to wonder what kind of thing she was, was it just an accident that she came to this world?
Tony took her shoulders and patted her shoulders a few times, hoping to relieve her anxiety. He continued to ask the screen: "How many capable people like you are there in Xia Nai's body?"
The Siren Queen who was leaning against the wall silently finally spoke. Compared with Dracula's gloom and Mummy's arrogance, she seemed more noble, "We don't know how many abilities are hidden in Shane's body. It can be said that we feel a lot, they are all sleeping, waiting for the time to wake up, Shane will become stronger at that time."
Tony whispered in her ear: "Actually, the situation is not that bad. According to what they said, it is beneficial to you."
Dracula's hearing is abnormal, he suddenly interjected: "Yes, our existence needs to be attached to you, my lady, so we are all doing our best to help you and let you go to the altar, you should thank this Supreme favor."
"..." From this point of view, it is correct, but Xia Nai is still very uncomfortable in her heart. Currently, there is no negative part of any ability to show up. She just needs to accept it. It is really a "gift", but this gift of unknown origin is also a gift. Make her creepy.
Immediately afterwards, Dracula reminded her again, with a serious tone, "Although the abilities you have gained are powerful, you must remember that you are no different from ordinary people before you activate the abilities. You must be vigilant around you. Without our protection, your fragile Physically vulnerable."
Halfway through the conversation, the image on the screen began to shake, and the "signal" became unstable.It didn't help that Tony asked Jarvis to adjust the wave frequency. Dracula told them that the time was almost up, and the establishment of the connection required their full cooperation. It was not possible to find the right "interface" every time. The time that could be maintained was very limited, and it was time to end up.
"Wait!" Xia Nai shouted, getting the first-hand information about Dracula and the others today is already a great achievement. Although the mystery of his life experience has not been solved yet, at least let Xia Nai know the direction.Now there is one more question they need to answer.
"Tell me about the world we live in. You once predicted that darkness would soon envelop this place. What did you foresee?"
The screen trembled more and more, and the voice became intermittent. Before disappearing, Dracula told them intermittently: "I have a hunch that 'it' will act soon. When you don't expect it, be careful behind your back... ..."
The laboratory was cut off instantly, and they looked at each other in the dark.
Sure enough, a week later, there was a piece of news that caused panic throughout New York. A fire claimed dozens of lives, and the case was classified as intentional arson.This is only public information, in the archives of SHIELD, this is likely to be a 'sacrifice ceremony'.
******
After the incident, Xia Nai and Tony came to the scene of the fire, and some details had to be seen by themselves.
As soon as he got out of the car, a guard came up to him, "Mr. Stark, please wear this, the environment inside is not very good."
Tony and Chanel put on thick masks, and they were escorted into the building by police officers.The scene was a country club, where many people were entertaining at the time. After the fire broke out, all passages were blocked, and people could only be burned to death.
This is an extremely bad incident, and what is even more strange is that some mysterious symbols can be vaguely seen on the burnt black wall, which is also the reason for SHIELD to intervene.After multiple checks, it is believed that this does not seem to be the work of pure terrorists. Some theological experts pointed out that this is more like some kind of sacrificial ceremony.
Tony and Shane shuttled through the burnt room, Tony blocked Shane's view from time to time, the scene was really horrible.
"Cough cough." Xia Nai coughed, and the burnt smell entered the nasal cavity, making people nauseous.
Tony said: "You should go back to the car, Jarvis will faithfully restore the scene, this place is not suitable for anyone to stay in."
Xia Nai covered her mask, waved her hands and replied, "Since everyone is here, I still want to see the real scene with my own eyes."
Since Xia Nai insisted, Tony stopped making a sound. He saw Natasha not far away and stepped forward to ask about the situation.
"Any progress?"
Natasha turned her head, her brown hair hung down on her chest, her exquisite nose was slightly wrinkled, she was not in a good mood, she replied: "It's not our job to solve the case, but there is something strange about it There are many."
Pointing to a charred, empty room, she said, "Those symbols haven't been deciphered yet, so far it can only be concluded that they may be related to some kind of religion."
Following the direction she pointed, Xia Nai and Tony saw a series of symbols on the wall. The shape of the characters was very strange. into the flesh.
Tony thought for a while and said, "Which religious symbol is it? My database can be compared one by one if necessary."
"We have compared them, but there is no match." Natasha replied.
"You should get my permission to use it, well, that's not the point." Tony continued to ask, "Does the murderer have any clues?"
Natasha took out a piece of printing paper with a photo of a man on it, "The suspect has been killed in the fire. From the monitoring, it can be seen that he transported the gasoline here. He himself is the driver of the tank truck and has no criminal record. The family situation is that his wife died of illness 3 years ago and is currently single.”
"The information shows that his living conditions are very stable, and he has no anti|anti-human tendencies. The only thing mentioned is that he was very happy two days before the incident, and talked with a photo of his dead wife."
"Mental illness?" Xia Nai asked, if that's the case, the case would be logical.
Natasha lowered her voice: "This possibility is not ruled out, but the strange thing is that all the escape routes at the scene of the fire were sealed off, but we checked, and there was no tool to block the passages, every door, even the windows There are traces of survivors' struggles on it, but they can't be opened no matter what."
It's really strange, what is it that holds the door up?And the windows can be smashed to escape. This is not a high-rise building, and the situation of being trapped should not happen. How did the arsonist do it?
Natasha took out another report, "It took only ten minutes from the start of the fire to the end, and this was the scene when the firefighters arrived at the scene." She pointed to the surroundings, "It was completely the result of several hours of burning , The fire is also very outrageous."
Shane and Tony looked around, the fire reduced everything to ashes, including the souls of the living.
Natasha closed the folder, "This is just the beginning, the enemy we are going to face may be 'hidden' in everyone's heart." She smiled wryly, "I kind of miss the days of fighting aliens."
