Chapter 246: Hell's Kitchen
Although Black Widow likes to pull Yan Xu to do tasks together, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not so luxurious, how difficult it is to let two B-level powerhouses team up to complete the task, ordinary tasks are the same as playing for them, so Black Widow and Yan Xu are more often alone in performing tasks.
But this time, S.H.I.E.L.D. not only approved Black Widow's request, but also arranged five heavily armed support teams nearby, and the headquarters was also ready to attack, because their mission was in New York.
As more and more fragments of the reincarnation island fall into the earth, after absorbing the power of countless illusions, the reality is gradually distorted, such as the more serious United States, which directly comes out of two more cities, making the people in the White House fidgeting all day long.
It is naturally a good thing to have an extra city with a population of 20 million, and the wealth involved in it is simply an astronomical amount, which cannot be described by pie in the sky, but can only be described as gold bricks falling from the sky, which is not only valuable, but also fatal, because these two cities are called Gotham City and Metropolis respectively.
The former is rich in mental illness, or the kind of mental illness with a super high IQ, and plans to drag a large group of people to die at every turn, even Batman, who is a volunteer employee of a mental hospital, is often messed up by the other party, and the danger is even higher than that of some war-torn countries.
As for the metropolis, the crime rate is lower, but as long as those who dare to come out are superpowered criminals, if there is not a superman in charge, the metropolis will have to be demolished.
If these two cities give the White House men a headache, then New York makes them feel desperate, they have never hated Hollywood directors and screenwriters so much, it is because of them, every year that New York has to be destroyed several times, year after year, so accumulated, how dangerous New York is after being distorted by the power of fantasy can be imagined.
If the danger of Gotham City and the metropolis is still limited to one city, once the danger of New York breaks out, it can directly affect the whole world, so New York has always been the focus of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance, and its actions are extremely cautious, for fear of irreversible consequences caused by the chain reaction.
This time, Yan Xu's target is the most chaotic place in New York, Hell's Kitchen, if those places can find clues such as Hand and Hui, Jin Ji, Bullseye, and Daredevil, this is a place that cannot be avoided.
In the past, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent many agents into Hell's Kitchen, and the loss rate was as high as 30%, which was enough to make some intelligence agency directors burst their blood vessels, but they got very little information.
This makes One-Eyed understand that no matter how many ordinary agents he sends, he must have enough power to unravel the fog that shrouds Hell's Kitchen, catch the black hands behind the scenes, and then press them to the ground to rub them as much as they want.
"The negative energy of the whole city has actually gathered here, and there is no problem to hell." Yan Xu, who was sitting in the business car, could feel the rich negative energy here without even turning on the ripple perception, and immediately knew that they would definitely not return empty-handed this time, because in this environment, they could find out what was going on.
This is New York with a population of 20 million, and the negative energy gathered can even directly create a hell in the world, no wonder it has the title of Hell's Kitchen, if it weren't for the fact that the popularity here is too heavy to offset some of it, it is estimated that it would have turned into a ghost long ago, even if this is a rare fierce place, if the people who live here are not good enough, they will easily die.
The black widow couldn't see the traces of black gas gathered from all directions forming an eerie black cloud over Hell's Kitchen, and she couldn't see countless souls struggling in the black clouds, but the black clouds were like the most viscous asphalt, no matter how they struggled, no soul could get rid of the black clouds, and even Yan Xu saw that once someone died in Hell's Kitchen, the soul would be involuntarily sucked by the black clouds.
Yan Xu knew very well the power of this black cloud that enveloped the entire Hell's Kitchen, if there was a Demon Dao Monk here, he could completely practice it into a Demon Dao magic weapon second only to the Supreme Treasure, with the help of this treasure, even a rookie who had just practiced mana could play a game of slaughtering the city.
It's a pity that his current identity can't let him make a move, otherwise it would be a good choice to dispel it or refine it into a magic weapon, but he can choose to report this matter.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. detected the chaotic distortion of the magnetic field over Hell's Kitchen, it has not been able to find the reason, after all, it belongs to two systems, and it is not so easy to cross.
Although the news provided by Yan Xu sounds a little incredible, even the demons have appeared, and it is not unacceptable for souls and strange black clouds to appear again, so it was immediately reported to One-Eyed, after all, One-Eyed had already said before that any news about Hell's Kitchen should be notified to him immediately.
It's just that there are no specific measures on how to dispel Black Cloud S.H.I.E.L.D., but One-Eyed has already sent someone to contact the Holy See, planning to sprinkle the sparse holy water over Hell's Kitchen, and at the same time build a church in Hell's Kitchen.
Waiting for Yan Xu to finish the communication, Black Widow got out of the car with him and stepped into the hell's kitchen where the locals smelled and changed.
The security of Hell's Kitchen is that there is no law and order, even the police have a gang background, otherwise there will be gunmen who will rush in and beat him into a honeycomb when he stays in the bureau, you can imagine the extent of chaos on the streets, except that no one is bombarding with heavy weapons, which is not much different from some war-torn places in Africa, almost everyone carries weapons, even the little children are good at playing butterfly knives, and the gift they want most as adults is a pistol or joining a gang.
A pistol can only give them some weak and unreliable sense of security, joining a gang is the right way, let them go from being simply preded, a little higher position, can go to plunder the existence weaker than them, and the whole Hell's Kitchen has long formed its own food chain.
Walking on the dilapidated streets, none of the street lamps on either side are lit, all the windows of the buildings on both sides are covered by thick curtains, there is no light, no sound, you don't even know if there are people living in it, the only light source in the whole street is the fire lit by those homeless people in the gasoline cans, it is ironic, but the few passers-by are like snakes and scorpions away from the range of the fire, preferring to rush in the dark.
These homeless people drank low-quality liquor mixed with alcohol, ate food from the garbage can, had numb expressions, and had cloudy eyes, and had no problem describing them as having no hope, and if anyone wanted to make a movie about the end of the world, they didn't even need to revise it again.
But don't have any sympathy for them, they are the cockroaches of Hell's Kitchen, they are huge and ubiquitous, and any outsider who strays into this place will face them at the first level, and these bottomless guys will even stab you in the stomach with a switchblade for a bottle of wine and a piece of bread, not fatal, but definitely will make you spend many unforgettable nights in the hospital.
Every year, the victims who are robbed, stabbed, killed, and even *** by them are enough to fill a room, and it is difficult for the police to arrest them, because they have no fixed residence, are very mobile, and often move in remote alleys, even sewers and bridges, and they don't have any documents at all, not even driver's licenses and bank cards, to some extent they are invisible, redundant people in this country, and even prisons don't want to take these guys.
However, these guys didn't make a move this time, and they didn't even gather to put pressure on each other as they used to, because they could see that these two outsiders were definitely not easy to mess with, and they were not at all able to deal with them.
After all, they had never seen such a beautiful girl and a man in golden armor dare to swagger to Hell's Kitchen, such a person is either an idiot or a strong man, and an idiot obviously does not live long.
Yan Xu had already discovered that many guys had secretly gone to report the news, and the Black Widow had also found out, but neither of them paid attention to it, they couldn't kill all the people who saw them, anyway, sooner or later, it would make no difference.
"There's a weird smell about it." Raising her head and sniffing, the black widow said to Yan Xu.
The streets were littered with garbage, and the homeless were a source of active pollution, but Black Widow could discern a different smell from these complex auras, thanks to her five senses, which were greatly enhanced by the venom.
Yan Xu opened his visor, and his amazing five senses allowed him to quickly catch a familiar faint breath from the air.
"It's the stench of ghouls, and the Crimson Society has intervened here." Yan Xu of the Scarlet Society naturally couldn't forget it, and fighting against a large group of ghouls who could smoke people to death just by relying on the smell was even more impressive, even if it was just a trace of the almost indistinguishable stench, it still allowed Yan Xu to determine the source of the smell.
"Let's check this first, the harm of vampire potions is too great to be left unattended." The Black Widow said to Yan Xu, although this matter has nothing to do with their mission this time, but they are people from S.H.I.E.L.D., and any abnormal events are under their control, not to mention dangerous things like vampire potions.
The smell was too faint to determine the source, Yan Xu and they needed a little extra intelligence, and the source of the intelligence was these homeless people.
With a bang, a homeless man with a big beard was thrown into the trash can by Yan Xu, then took out a grenade, pulled the safety open, and put the hand holding the grenade on the top of the trash can.
"Tell me what I want to know, or I'll mix you with garbage, and I won't be able to separate you for the rest of my life!" Yan Xu's cold metal mask did not waver at the homeless man who showed a look of fear, and the black widow was even more interesting to observe Yan Xu's interrogation, although it was a little jerky, but I had to admit that it was very effective.
"No, no, they're going to kill me!" The homeless man waved his hands in horror and refused Yan Xu's request.
"Yes, they will kill you, but if you don't have the news I want, I'll kill you now." Yan Xu let go of his hand slightly, deliberately making the grenade make a faint metal friction sound, and it was this sound that would be missed if he didn't listen carefully and finally defeated him.
If he had a chance to escape, if he hadn't, he would have become a smoky piece of meat in a garbage heap.
