Chapter 301: Finding Vampires
Unlike Skye who is half-hung.
Melinda May, after all, is a specially trained professional agent.
Therefore, even in the face of the Avengers, who are quite legendary in S.H.I.E.L.D., they still maintain their usual calm posture.
Sweeping his gaze over the frowning Captain America in front of him, Agent May continued to recount what had happened to him: "...... I had hoped that Peggy Carter would return to S.H.I.E.L.D. with me, but she flatly rejected my suggestion and showed me the control that Dio had planted in her, Peggy told me that Dior had come to New York for more than a simple purpose, that he had a larger conspiracy behind him, and that before he was discovered, I saw him hand over a mask-like object through Peggy Carter's hand to an organization called Spider......"
"Stone ghost face."
Hearing the mask mentioned by Agent May, Steve's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but mutter.
"Stone ghost face?"
Noticing Steve's unusual reaction, Agent May instinctively asked, "It seems that you know quite a bit about this mask. β
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of Agent May's questioning, Steve was silent for a moment, and then made a gesture of reminiscence: "During World War II, I once broke into the Hydra base with Dio on a rescue mission, and it was there that we discovered the Cosmic Cube and ...... At first, we didn't know what this mask does, but Dio cracked the secret of Stone Ghost Mask and successfully transformed himself into a vampire. β
The memories of the stone ghost face are not far away for Steve.
Even after seventy years, he still vividly remembers the scene when Dio put on a stone ghost mask in an evil and crazy posture and turned himself from a human into a vampire in the base of Hydra.
"So, what the spider organization got is the stone ghost face that Dio used in the first place?"
For World War II, especially many materials related to Hydra, S.H.I.E.L.D. adheres to a secret posture, so even Agent May, who has a high level of secrecy in S.H.I.E.L.D., knows information about the stone ghost face for the first time.
"Impossible."
However, Steve shook his head without hesitation about Agent May's speculation: "The original stone ghost face has already been destroyed by me, so the stone ghost face that Peggy is holding is definitely not the original one." β
"Are there many more masks that turn people into vampires like this?"
Steve's answer made Agent May's brows furrow subconsciously.
However, the presence of the stone ghost face reminds Steve of an item - a containment object.
He speculated that perhaps the Stone Ghost Face was also a type of containment object, which is why it possessed this unusual ability.
There were still a lot of speculations about the existence of the stone ghost face, but Agent May knew very well that now was not a good time to do research, so she suppressed the doubts in her heart, and then turned the topic to her own information: "...... After being reminded by Agent Peggy Carter, I have been trying to search for clues related to vampires in New York, and finally after investigation and inference, I found traces of vampire activities in Hell's Kitchen, according to some sporadic clues at the time, it was mentioned that Harlem in Hell's Kitchen had a brief rumor of vampire haunting, and then a civil superhero organization called the Defenders League had an operation on the vampire incident, that is, after the Defenders League operation, The Hell's Kitchen rumors about vampires have also dissipated. β
"Defenders Alliance?!"
Steve is no stranger to the League of Defenders.
In his previous battle with the Absolute Godless, he had briefly collaborated with members of the Defenders Alliance.
The invulnerable big black man and the free-flying woman left a deep impression on him.
Previously, during the formation of the Avengers, Steve had also proposed members of the Defenders, but Nick Fury seemed to have his own ideas and did not take his opinion.
With the clues about the Defenders in mind, Steve turned his gaze back to Agent May in front of him, and he could feel that the other party was clearly trying to tell him the information. Looking at the calm agent in front of him, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why, your attitude towards the whole incident is obviously different from other agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" You seem to be desperate for me to find Peggy. β
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of Steve's question, Agent May's calm face was silent for a moment, and then he turned his eyes to look at Captain America with a resolute expression in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Agent Peggy Carter used to be my idol and mentor, so captain, you must save her from Dior's hands!" β
Hearing Agent May's plea, Steve's eyes changed.
He looked at the female S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in front of him, and nodded his head with a determined expression: "I promise." β
β¦β¦
"The Buddha's light is emerging!"
With a low shout, the golden palm prints of the changes in Sanskrit sound hit Ah Xing's swing and hit the huge body of the 'Jin He' in front of him.
Looking at the exposed inside of the machine inside the broken robot in front of her, Jessica pursed her lips and said coldly, "Is it an imposter again?" β
For some time now, members of the Defenders have been battling each other in Hell's Kitchen against these golden-looking robots known as 'Pacifists'.
During this period, they had several encounters with the main body of the robot, the real Jin, but in the end, they were cunningly escaped by the other party.
At the same time, with each escape, the traces of Jin Ji became more and more difficult to find.
Stretching out his arms against the light wave of 'Pacifist-Kim He' in front of him, Luke Cage gritted his teeth and grabbed the opponent's arm, and at the same time exerted superhuman strength with both hands, instantly grasping and twisting the arm in his hand, making a piercing creak.
Trying to twitch his arm, he found that he couldn't break free.
Kim turned his head to point at Luke Cage in front of him, and opened his mouth to reveal the pitch-black muzzle condensed light wave in his mouth.
"Ah Xing!"
Faced with the threat from the mouth of the 'pacifist - Kim He', Luke Cage shouted behind him without thinking.
"Here we are."
Hearing Luke Cage's words, Ah Xing, who had been prepared, immediately stepped forward, raised his arms and lay on his chest to seal the seal, and raised his other palm above his head, rolling Sanskrit sounded, and countless 10,000-character symbols around his body formed a faint golden Buddha statue behind him.
"Buddha moves mountains and rivers!"
In an instant, the ignored palm print appeared from behind Ah Xing with the Buddha's light, and hit the 'Golden Harmony' that Luke Cage was holding, instantly scattering the huge robot.
[Legend from Daredevil ......]
[Legendary ...... from Luke Cage]
γLegendary ...... from Jessicaγ
Looking at the machine parts flying in the sky under the power of "Rulai Divine Palm" in front of them, even if it is not the first time to see the power of this move, every time they see it, the defenders are still a little shocked in their hearts.
It is worthy of the immortal law from Penglai.
Frowning and avoiding the parts that flew towards him, I don't know if it was a foot or what part, Jessica looked down at the 'Pacifist-Jin He' who was smashed by Ah Xing's move "Rulai Divine Palm", but the expression on her face was not too good: "Have you noticed that in the recent past, no matter what kind of pacifist these people look like 'Jin He'...... It seems to have become secretive. β
When the name 'Pacifist' was mentioned, Jessica subconsciously pursed her lips, with an obvious look of disdain on her face, obviously not interested in Kim's thoughts of calling these robots exactly like him 'Pacifists', a former underworld emperor who could still say the word peace.
Of course, the name is only superficial, and Jessica is more concerned about recent developments, which are quite unfavorable for the defenders.
"Do you remember what Kim said the last time we fought him?"
Hearing Jessica's words, Luke Cage also spoke, and said in silence: "According to him, he returned to New York again this time, in addition to wanting to regain the rule of Hell's Kitchen, with other purposes? β
Jessica raised an eyebrow and said, "What purpose, isn't it revenge on us?" β
Shaking his head, Luke Cage replied while thinking about the details revealed by Kim and in the conversation before: "It seems that it is not so simple, if you want to take revenge on us, he can completely let all the robots appear together, instead of sending only a few scattered robots to fight us like now, his approach is not so much revenge as a ...... to us"
"Containment."
Then Luke Cage speculated, and Matt, who was silent on the sidelines, frowned and sensed that something was wrong.
Kim wants to use these robots to contain our actions, "to be able to get admitted to the lawyer, especially when he has obvious flaws compared to ordinary people." Obviously, it shows that Matt is extraordinary, so the moment he heard Luke Cage's doubts, he reacted: "Before, he has successfully captured his lost dominance over Hell's Kitchen, and if he wants to take revenge on us, he can use the power of robots and gangs to carry out together." β
"I seem to remember that many of the mercenary taverns in Hell's Kitchen have bounties hanging out, and they seem to be looking for something?"
Matt's words were an obvious reminder to Jessica about something unusual she had recently discovered.
Regarding the development in front of him, Ah Xing had a blank expression on his face.
However, Li Ran, who was the main body on the other side, nodded his head with a satisfied face.
The members of the defenders were more perceptive than he had expected, and originally, he thought that if they hadn't noticed, he would have reminded them through Ah Xing's mouth, but now it seemed that there was obviously no need for him to speak, and Matt and the others had already noticed Kim's unusual behavior.
"So, what exactly is the purpose of the Golden Merge?"
Although they have seen something unusual about Kim, defenders are still at a loss as to what Kim's purpose is.
After all, there are only so few clues in hand, and being able to speculate on the gold and have problems is already the limit of defenders.
Looking at Matt and the others, who were obviously confused again, Li Ran was hesitating whether to take advantage of Ah Xing's vague reminder.
I saw Matt on the other side suddenly frown, tilted his head to the side slightly, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Who is it?!"
Under the influence of ripples and super senses, Matt sensed a tall figure moving towards their location.
"It seems like I'm not here at the right time."
With Matt's reminder, Jessica and Luke Cage also put on vigilant expressions.
As they watched, Steve appeared in front of the defenders with his shield, looking down at the robot parts scattered on the ground and the defenders in front of him, and whispered.
"Captain America?"
Steve's iconic shield made the defenders quickly recognize each other's identities.
The most legendary soldier of World War II and a member of the Avengers - Captain America Steve.
"How did you end up in Hell's Kitchen?" Looking at the well-known superhero in front of them, the defenders' expressions were stunned for a moment, but it was Luke Cage who reacted first, looked at each other and said, "Shouldn't the Avengers be busy with the mission of saving the world every day?" β
Although they are all superhero organizations, Luke Cage knows very well that the Avengers are a superhero group in the true sense of the word, compared to the petty actions of the defenders.
After all, behind the other side, there is a strong backing of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is far from being compared to a loose alliance of just a few street heroes, private investigators and blind lawyers.
"If the world needs to be saved every day, we Avengers alone are not enough."
In the face of Luke Cage's teasing, Steve immediately smiled and shrugged his shoulders in reply.
Looking at Captain America who was smiling and responding in front of him, Luke Cage first stared at each other expressionlessly for a few seconds, and then the original face on his face quickly changed, revealing his trademark smiling face, reaching out and shaking it with Steve opposite, and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Captain." β
"So do you, Luke."
Also reaching out and holding Luke Cage's wide palm, Steve nodded back.
As the two shook hands and talked, the atmosphere that seemed to be a little tense on both sides immediately eased.
Originally, there was no deep hatred between Steve and the defenders, and they had even fought side by side with each other before.
Under such a premise, how can there be tension when they meet again.
