Manchurian, once considered by the public to be a terrorist leader, is in fact nothing more than a puppet of Aldridge Killian. Killian has used the desperate virus to carry out terrorist attacks, but he has been hiding behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation. The Manchurian is a character born for this, an embodiment of terror, a leader. When Man-sama attracts everyone's attention, Killian is given plenty of space to move freely.

Later, Killian fell, and the AIM he founded came to an end, and the actor of the Manchurian was of course captured by the authorities. But for some reason, after all this ended, the name "Man-sama" lingered in Tony's mind for a while. He already knew that this was just a fictitious image, an illusion that didn't exist, but he still couldn't be completely at ease.

It feels like ...... It's as if the name itself means something, like a curse.

Of course, these are all just Tony's own baseless conjectures, and there is no evidence to support them. Killian is finished, and the Manchurian is just a puppet, and he has been arrested and imprisoned, and the whole system has fallen apart. What else is there to be afraid of?

And now, Tony is once again in the prison where the "Manchurian" is held.

Two hours ago, there was an explosive attack on a branch of Stark Corporation. There is little evidence at the scene, and there is little to call a clue. The only thing they know now is that the attack pattern is similar to that of the Desperate Virus.

Today, the only person left alive in Killian's organization is this funny Manchu actor...... Until ten minutes ago.

And now, he's dead.

Tony was a step late. Just minutes after he contacted the prison warden, Tony informed the warden that he needed to ask the actor a few questions, and then went straight to the prison. And it was two minutes later that the warden called again and told him that the poor creature was dead.

And now, Tony was in prison, standing in the poor creature's cell, silently watching the mess that filled the room.

Tragic is perhaps the best word to describe this scene. The attack appeared to have come from overhead, as the ceiling had been pierced entirely. Rubble was scattered all over the floor, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground. The poor creature fell straight in the middle of the room, but his image was unrecognizable. His whole body was almost burned into a single piece of black carbon, black, a bit like a dead stump.

If the other party directly used the high temperature to burn him to death, then logically speaking, there should not be so much blood. Then there is only one explanation - the other party deliberately put so much blood before burning him to death, and its purpose may be related to the handwriting left on the wall.

"Your nightmare is coming, Stark."

This line is written crookedly on the wall, and there is a pattern painted in blood on the back, which looks like a badge. Tony recognized the badge, the Ten Rings mark.

Speaking of the Ten Rings Gang, it actually has a lot to do with him. When his uncle, Obadiah Stan, tried to hire someone to murder him and monopolize the Stark Syndicate, he contacted the Ten Commandments. It was the Ten Rings who locked Tony in the cave where he didn't see the light of day and forced him to assemble missiles, which directly contributed to the birth of Iron Man.

Later, when Killian made up the man-in-law, he was also known as the Ten Rings. It's just that his tricks were later revealed, and Lord Man was proven to be just fiction, and his Ten Rings Gang was just a borrowed name, not the same as the terrorist organization that kidnapped Tony before.

So now it seems that the real Ten Rings Gang has come to the door looking for trouble. It's their standing nowhere, a warning that Iron Man is back, and with a different kind of determination.

"I don't know who has hacked into the surveillance." The warden grimaceously said to Tony, "We didn't expect this to happen. The opponent moved very quickly, and our people didn't have time to react at all......"

"Did anyone see what they looked like?" Tony asked.

"Nope."

"So where did the other party go?"

"I don't know. We've never been trained to deal with this, which is a bit unexpected......"

"Okay, I see, Warden." Tony said calmly, "I just need to know that, then please take your people out, and I'll take over later." ”

The warden nodded and said apologetically, "I'm sorry I can't help you more, Mr. Director." ”

After saying that, he went out with the people.

Tony took a deep breath and walked into the room filled with the smell of fresh burnt and gore. He pulled out a few orbs from his pocket and threw them into the center of the room, from which virtual blue rays shot out, and began collecting data for the model that reconstructed the room.

"Ciel." He pressed the headset on his right ear and said, "Have you had any results in tracking your route?" ”

"You've been the only airborne visitor to that prison for the last half-hour, Director." Maria Hill replied, "Either the other side has extremely advanced stealth equipment, or they haven't taken the road at all. ”

"They got in and out of the prison in such a short period of time, and they had to leave some clues. Keep investigating, Hill. ”

"I know." Hil paused and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I don't know anything from the prison side, I don't even see the other side's figure. Two agents will be arranged for a detailed interrogation in a moment, but I don't have much hope. "I'm building a model in the prison where the crime took place, and I'm going back to do some data analysis to see if I can find anything." ”

"You know, you don't have to do these things yourself." Hill said helplessly, "When Captain Fury was in charge, he would never go out in the field like you......"

"But it's not just about Aegis, it's about myself. There are some things that I don't feel comfortable leaving to others. ”

"You're the Director, and you've got to learn to trust your agents. They're still excellent. ”

"Yes, but I'm also Iron Man, an Avenger. Besides, I didn't ask you to arrange for an agent to do the interrogation. ”

"Well, now you're the boss anyway." Hill found that he couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to give up.

Compared to Nick Fury, who likes to sit on the mothership and strategize, Tony is obviously more accustomed to running to the scene to deal with problems himself. may be because he feels that as Iron Man, he is the strongest combat force, and he should not be put in danger by others. Or maybe it's because he's used to acting alone, and he feels that he should do a lot of things himself.

For him, the biggest role of the S.H.I.E.L.D. position seems to be more resources and a wider range of intelligence sources.

"Oh, besides, contact the military, I remember that there is a department that is in charge of the affairs of the 'Ten Rings Gang', right?"

"It seems so."

"Get in touch with me." Tony said, "I need to know everything about the Ten Rings, right now." ”
