An enclave in the United States, the city of Las Vegas. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis is a world-famous gambling city.

This is the enchanting Golden Cave, a paradise and hell for countless gamblers. Geographically, it's close to the North Pole, as the dimension is already far north, and even in mid-February, it's still cold.

This cold climate is said to last at least until late March and early April. So this time is not the best season for casino business.

"How many pieces of silverware are we collected?" asked Li Jie, holding a freshly recovered silverware in his hand, which he had bought from a silversmith shop.

It looks like the previous owner needed money to sell it.

"We've got over eighty pieces of silverware in our hands, and we've got forty on the mutant side. S.H.I.E.L.D. has also recovered nearly a hundred pieces in the past half a month. We can say that we have recovered most of the silverware. The answer to Li Jie was Frank, who was on a mission with him.

Coming to this place from New York across the whole of Canada should have been troublesome, but the helpers Li Jie found made a big difference.

Master Arashi participated in Li Jie's plan, and she has an excellent hand of spatial teleportation magic, which can teleport people thousands of miles away in an instant.

And the ability to lock on to these lost silverware is also all due to the magic of the mage, although it is not very accurate, but at least it can detect the general direction.

Because all silverware appears to have come from a whole object, there is a correlation in breath.

Arashi was able to orient himself by using the breath of one silver vessel to lock on to another, just as Loki had done before.

"Found it? If there's nothing to do here, I think we should go back first. Master Lan asked when he saw Li Jie and Frank return to the agreed location.

Her face is not very good-looking now, because the excessive use of magic during this time has caused her mana to be a little overdrawn, and the magic power of a magician is not endless.

Even if it is as strong as the Ancient One, or if it is the Heavenly Father Odin, their mana will be exhausted at a time.

"Good work, please send us back to New York first, I think you may need some rest recently. Li Jie looked at Lan's face and said.

"Let's go back first. Lan didn't respond to Li Jie's words, and directly broke through a spatial door in the air that flashed with golden-red sparks.

In an instant, the three of them crossed the distance of thousands of kilometers and returned to New York.

"There's no chaos in New York today?" asked Zeng Chu, who was staring at a bunch of computer screens and observing the dynamics of New York City, after Li Jie came back.

"If a bunch of crazy people want to attack the Stark Group, it doesn't count. Then it's not a big deal. Zeng Chu shrugged and said.

"Why? someone attacked the Stark Group?" Li Jie put the recovered silverware into the vault of the base.

"Nothing, a bunch of unemployed employees. Zeng Chu pointed to the TV and said that this was the biggest news of the day.

"Basically, because Stark's new energy system has ruined a lot of people's jobs, I heard that the world's seven major energy giants are preparing to start large-scale layoffs. ”

"The countries in OPEC that rely on crude oil exports can no longer sit still. Stark's new energy project is already on track in New York. ”

"When I went to refill today, even the employees at the gas station were worried about losing their jobs, and you know a lot of the employees at the gas station who don't have any other skills, and once Stark's new energy completely replaces the old fossil energy, then these people are almost certain to be unemployed. ”

"So someone attacked the Stark Group?" Li Jie kind of understood what was happening, the footsteps of the Great Time had not really taken its first step, and the obstacles that blocked its progress had appeared.

"Yes, there were about three hundred people, and it looked organized. Zeng Chu thought for a while and said.

"There were also people who brought weapons to besiege the Stark Group, hid in their cars, and after getting close to the Stark Group, someone opened fire. ”

Li Jie's brows furrowed, this matter does not seem to be as simple as the difficulty of reemployment of laid-off workers and making trouble.

"There were probably more than a dozen guns, and two Stark Group staff members were killed at the scene. Then Tony Stark, dressed in steel armor, appeared, and it seemed that he had added a number of non-lethal blast weapons to the new armor, and in a short time, the crowd was subdued. ”

"Can you find the files of those troublemakers?" The more Li Jie thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, it was already an eventful time, and these guys who shot and killed people on the streets of New York were really not instigated?

"The New York police just locked up those guys, and I can't find any information about them right now, but I'll keep an eye on them. Zeng Chu said that he knew that these things might not be simple.

"We've found so much silverware now, and the rest shouldn't be causing much of a mess, right?"

"I don't know, but I always feel that it's not that simple, you must know that the silverware found by the mutants is almost always recovered after the mutants have lost control. Li Jie has a headache when he thinks about the mutants' behavior these days.

Recently, there have been nearly forty more cases of mutants getting out of control, and although they didn't happen in New York, the impact is still very bad.

In particular, a case of a mutant who lost control during the oil and gas extraction process had a huge impact, and the out-of-control mutant had been able to control his abilities before, but the sudden loss of control that day caused a series of explosions on the entire mining platform.

More than 70 people were killed and nearly 500 injured, the most devastation caused by mutants in recent years.

The mutant turmoil, which had already been somewhat suppressed, began to raise its head a little.

And because of the Stark Group's release of new energy, the stock prices of these old energy manufacturers have fallen, coupled with the damage to the mining platform and the astronomical amount of workers' compensation that almost collapsed the boss.

This caused the owner of the company to simply declare bankruptcy after the compensation was completed, which caused thousands of people to lose their jobs.

Inside and out, because of the mutants and the Stark Group's new energy, now the whole society has become more turbulent, and many people are starting to feel uneasy.

In particular, the practitioners are afraid that they will lose their jobs that they rely on, and this invisible fear spreads among the crowd.

Although the crowd is not wide, the fear is real.

"By the way, where did Barbara go?" Barbara asked by Li Jie was a member of the team that Frank had brought into the team, a female student with black-framed glasses, dressed very otaku-like, and not very conspicuous in appearance.

She is quite researched in biology, and according to Frank, she also has quite good marksmanship, and has been a scientist in a special institution before.

"She's in the lab studying that black symbiote you brought back last time. Zeng Chu pointed to the door of the laboratory.

"By the way, what are you going to do with that kid?" Barbara gave Kain a thorough examination, and it was determined that he was not anatomically damaged by the symbiote. Frank unloaded all his gear and joined the conversation.

"I haven't thought of it yet, but I'm afraid that he will be arrested and studied in the orphanage before he goes back now, right?" Li Jie has been so busy lately that he doesn't have time to think about Kain's problem.

"Hasn't the Ancient One Mage come back yet?" Li Jie asked as he glanced at Lan, who was using magic to try to communicate with the Ancient One.

"It doesn't look like it has yet, it's probably still in Asgard. My mana is too weak to cross Asgard to contact the Ancient One. Arashi shook her head, her face even paler, her magic was overdrawn now.

"You'd better rest first, things can't be solved in an instant. Li Jie shook his head at Lan and said.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to rest anymore, because I can't sense the location of the rest of the silverware except for the ones we have in our hands and the ones you have collected with your friends. Lan bit her lip and told Li Jie that it was not very good news.

"Well, anyway, you go and rest first. I'll take care of the rest. Li Jie patted Lan on the shoulder.

The problem has to be solved, and since this road is not painful, it is necessary to change the way.

"I'm going to Stark Group, if there's anything urgent, remember to contact me. Li Jie feels like a firefighter running around now.

Step onto the glide wing provided by Harry and fly at an altitude of several hundred meters at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour.

"Mr. Tony, the Nightkin requests to meet. "In the lab inside the Stark Group Building, Tony is staying up all night making some interesting gadgets. And Jarvis's voice interrupted his inspiration.

He could only put down the device in his hand and said. "Turn off the defenses and let him in through the rooftop. ”

Li Jie entered Tony's reception room from the roof of the Stark Group, and the owner of the room, Tony Stark, was holding a tablet reading materials.

After a few meetings and collaborations, the two were not as wary as they had been, at least Tony wouldn't be wearing a full steel armor when meeting the Nightkin

"I heard you've been busy fighting fires lately, and I'd like to ask you if the U.S. government pays you?" said Tony without looking up.

"What about you? I heard that you just recently flew to Iraq to deal with a group of armed groups, did the Iraqi government give you a special bonus? Or is it a touching letter of thanks?" Li Jie knew Tony's character, and did not politely fight back with him.

"I get thank you letters every day, but I've always liked only women, especially pretty ladies who come to thank me. Tony put down his tablet.

"I heard that your company is in some trouble today, can you guess who is behind it?" Li Jie found a sofa and sat down.

"You also believe in conspiracy theories? Well, there are so many possibilities, you know, what I'm doing has cut off a lot of people's money. ”

"You're looking for me today to care about the trouble your new friend is having?" asked Tony.

"Actually, I want to ask you, did you check out the silver necklace you gave you?"

"I know, come with me and show you something. Tony stood up and motioned for Li Jie to follow him. (To be continued.) )
