Chapter 44 Mourning whip
Russia!
In this snowy country, near an extremely remote garbage dump, there is such a dilapidated underground cavern.
The cave is filled with a variety of miscellaneous objects, as well as instruments and few daily necessities.
All kinds of instruments and equipment are mixed together, making this place seem very cluttered
However, based on some details on the instrument, as well as the degree of dilapidation and appearance, it is not difficult to see that these are assembled from discarded appliances from the garbage dump.
In the corner of this small house, there is a bed that is also shabby and yellow, and has a peculiar smell.
There was an old man lying on the bed.
You know, his son was listening to the old man's last words.
The old man pointed to a poster with a poster of the famous American playboy Tony Stark.
"You could have been like him, but we were betrayed...... Ahem. Child, I'm sorry for you...... The only thing I can bring to you is my life's knowledge and this drawing. ”
The old man's cloudy eyes flashed with reluctance, he raised his trembling hand, and struggled to squeeze out the last sentence
"I'm sorry, kid!"
In this cold weather, the old man left with reluctance and hatred. He gave all that He had to his son, his knowledge, his drawings, and...... His will.
A few days later!
"Ivan Vanko!"
In this remote place with deep snow, the group walked towards this place and finally stopped.
"This is it, we have a new partner," a sweet voice full of maturity and temptation sounded, and if anyone was nearby, it would be absolutely surprising.
In this sub-zero temperature, the clothes worn by this group of people are really pitiful.
"That's right, this is it."
The group is none other than the Ascendant Squad. Ariel, known as 'Ranger', was looking at the panel in front of him that only he and a few people around him could see.
Maybe from now on, maybe there will be another person added in the future.
"Let's go, let's go in and see!" Ariel said as he stepped inside.
"Why do you want to do more? The Lord God just told us to put the 'seed' near Him. Levis stretched a lazy waist a little lazily, showing the fatal curves to the fullest.
The young ninja, Kawajo, tilted his head slightly, but his eyes still kept peeking.
"Maybe he'll be chosen to be one of our 'chosen ones.' Whether it's out of politeness or better getting along in the future, we have to get to know each other no matter what we say. You know that if we didn't trust each other, we wouldn't be where we are now......"
"Okay, okay, I got it. Really, I'm only in my early thirties and I'm starting to ramble. ”
“…………”
"Poof~ Haha, Ariel, you also have today."
Ariel touched his nose unnaturally, the feeling of being complained about made him feel like he had gone back in time, remembering the days when he and his mercenary team were talking and laughing in a dangerous place.
Packing up his mind, Ariel first knocked politely on the door.
After a while, a foul smell came from the door, and then the voice of a Russian man sounded in the room.
"Hmm... You... Who are you looking for. If you sell garbage, I'll wait a while... Just come. ”
As the other person spoke, the stench seemed to become stronger.
"It's Ivan. Mr. Vanko, I have a business to discuss with you. ”
"Business? , don't come to me if there's nothing to do! "Ivan has a bad attitude, he is now hopeless about the world.
Really. Ariel ignored the snickering fire man Anlis, and continued to speak.
"If we can help you deal with Tony. What about Stark? Or rather, give you a chance at revenge. ”
The voice that annoyed Ivan continued to come from outside the door, but its contents had to make him shudder.
Gats!
The unique noise of the dilapidated door being opened, and a middle-aged man with a decadent, scruffy face poked his head out and looked at Ariel with some wariness.
Although Ariel and the people behind him were dressed strangely, Ivan could see that something was wrong.
For example.
That extremely charming woman, not only did she wear little, but also had two things growing on her back, judging by Ivan's eyesight, it was definitely not a mechanical creation.
It's better to say that the snow under his feet is constantly melting the red suit man, a bald guy who is guessing with the shadow, and the bald guy who is still losing and standing in the snow without a trace of snowflakes on his body.
Oh, am I so sad that I'm hallucinating? Maybe it's time for me to get some sleep.
Ivan rubbed his swollen eyes, trying to sober himself up.
But it was clear that he had failed!
Instead of disappearing, the other party got closer and closer, and even patted him on the shoulder.
"We know you, Ivan! We are a class of people who have all experienced despair, and we cannot join us without a painful past. Ariel put his hands behind his back and turned his face slightly to Ivan.
With his silver-purple coat swaying in the cold wind, it looks very imposing.
Although Ivan was a little caught off guard, he was still vigilant enough to block Ariel's continued entry into his house, and by the way, he reached into his arms and pulled out a small revolver and pointed it at Ariel's head.
"I'm not going to join any organization. And also! Don't go near my house! Ivan gave a vicious expression, matched by his scruffy beard and swollen eyes. Live like a perverted murderer, as if he will burst out and hurt people in the next second.
"Tut-tut, the ranger was actually threatened,. It's really alive and going back! ”
"What does it feel like to be held to the head at gunpoint? Ahh ”
To Ivan's surprise, the accomplice of the man in front of him didn't seem to be worried at all. Neither weapons nor precautions were taken.
On the contrary, the charming woman and the man in the red suit actually started a joke.
This made Ivan very vigilant, and there was only one reason why the other party ignored the firearms, and that was that they thought that the firearms would not work for them at all.
After analyzing the strange behavior of this group of people, as well as his current situation, and finally thinking about his father's last wishes, Ivan made a very wise choice.
"It looks like you don't have any ill will." As he spoke, Ivan withdrew the gun into his arms and carefully hid it.
"Follow me." With that, Ivan opened the door first and walked inside.
Ariel glanced at Ivan appreciatively, and led a few people towards the humble house.
"You said you want to do business with me, and you can help me get revenge? I want to know what you guys need. Ivan led Ariel and the group to a small couch with a dilapidated wooden coffee table remodeled from old furniture.
Ivan also deliberately took all his own fruits - a few dry-pickled apples.
But Ariel didn't care to pick one up and nibble on it, which made Ivan's senses for Ariel change.
"We can offer you a place for Tony Stark, he'll go back racing next month, and we can arrange for you to get close to him."
Taking another bite of the parched apple, Ariel continued, "There are also some materials that will allow you to make the Ark Reactor better. ”
Speaking of the Ark reactor, Ivan was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to know about it.
"And you just have to join us."
"Join you? What organization are you? How many are there now? How's the treatment? ”
Ivan was not surprised by this, except for this ability, he had nothing to attract the other party's organization.
"You will naturally know what our organization is called. Now all of our organization is here. As long as you can complete the task, you can get everything. ”
Ariel casually threw the gnawed apple back, and it fell perfectly into the pocket of Anlis's suit, chest.
"Oh, shit. Ariel, I'm going to burn you......"
"Have you thought about it, by the way. We have a high degree of freedom in our organization, and we can provide all kinds of precision instruments and rare resources. Ariel leaned forward and looked at Ivan.
"No problem, will I come with you now?" Ivan is not stupid, it is clear that it is beneficial to himself, why not join. As for whether he is dangerous or not, he is dominated by the desire for revenge, and he can't manage so much.
"No, you're not qualified enough to join us." Ariel stood up and waved to his friends as they looked around.
"Not qualified? What do you mean! Ivan's face changed, isn't this clearly playing on himself?
"I think you misunderstood me, I said that people who don't go through the real despair can't join us."
"What the hell are you talking about! What despair, am I not desperate enough now! Yes! Ivan yelled angrily and slammed his fist into the dilapidated table, knocking the apple on it to the ground.
"Little brother, it's not that my sister looks down on you. The desperation you've experienced is nothing compared to ours. Livisi didn't know when she appeared at Ariel's side, biting her fingers and smiling.
"This is a holy place that only the truly desperate can set foot on, and we are the mortal enemies of the world." Anlis also stepped up.
"The world is so dirty that I don't want to see it with my eyes." Mike, also clenched his fists, walked over.
"I have been spurned by the light and betrayed by the darkness."
The five of them stood side by side, giving Ivan a strong sense of oppression.
"This is a gift from the Lord God to you, and after you have truly experienced despair and death, you will be given a new life."
A ball of blue light appeared out of thin air, burrowing into Ivan's mind in an instant.
As Ariel's words fell, swirling purple light erupted from the five of them, churning the air.
"Damn, what did you do to me!"
"I hope you don't let us down, we are waiting for you to join. Ivan. Vanko. ”
Four seconds later, the group disappeared into thin air under Ivan's shocked eyes.
When Ivan came back to his senses, he realized that the dilapidated instruments in the house were long gone.
Instead, there were brand-new, state-of-the-art scientific instruments, a pile of materials on the floor, and a suitcase full of money.
Ivan even found a large basket of fresh fruit, a case of high-end wine, a few clothes that looked expensive, a few gym equipment, and a katana.
(Guess who gave what.) )
If Ivan hadn't just slapped himself in the face, he wouldn't have believed that this was reality and not a dream.
But in any case, as long as you can get revenge, even if it is a deal with the devil?
