585. The King's Death
The legend of the Ghost Rider has long been spread among the people, and Tony and Reed have naturally heard it, but what they know is not the fourth generation of Ghost Rider Robbie Reyes in the surveillance video, in fact, they don't even know the existence of the second and third generation of Ghost Rider.
There is only one Ghost Rider they know, and that is the original Ghost Rider - Johnny Blazer.
At the beginning, this match skull on a motorcycle can be said to have caused quite a stir throughout the United States, and his story is a household name.
Although most people believe that Johnny Blazer, the "Ghost Rider", is a fictional fantasy product like Santa Claus, there are also a significant number of people who believe in the existence of Ghost Rider.
The authenticity of the original Ghost Rider has been questioned, mainly because of Johnny Blazer's profession, a motorcycle acrobat who is very adept at creating special effects using tricks.
Both Tony and Reed have attempted to investigate Ghost Rider, and both have come to the same conclusion that Ghost Rider is real, a supernatural power that science cannot explain for the time being.
Tony even paid to see Johnny Blazer's live performance and tried to communicate with him about his Ghost Rider life off the court, but Johnny Blazer didn't give Tony face, and he coldly rejected Tony's accosting.
But when it comes to the original Ghost Rider Johnny Blazer, it was more than a decade ago in the United States.
This memory has even been sealed away by Tony and Reed, and they only talk about it by chance after dinner.
Now that they saw the familiar match skull appear again, Tony and Reed were both surprised, and their first reaction was - could this Robbie Reyes be the descendant of Johnny Blazer?
In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Rider in the surveillance video had burned poor old King T'Chaka to ashes.
Tony and Reed couldn't bear to look at it, shaking their heads and sighing for the poor old man.
Goofy didn't expect the old king to end up like this, dying at the eye of the Ghost Knight's judgment.
"But why did Ghost Rider wade through the troubled waters of Wakanda? What is his feud with Eric and the old King T'Chaca? Goofy asked.
"Perhaps...... Is this new Ghost Rider good friends with Eric? Tony speculated, "Maybe the two of them were college classmates." ”
"Not really." "Eric attended MIT at University and joined the Navy SEALs directly after grad school; Robbie Reyes only graduated from high school, took some non-standard mechanical courses, and then worked in a local auto repair shop in Los Angeles......"
"The two of them didn't have anything to do with each other, and they didn't even have a chance to meet in their previous lives......"
"Oh, by the way, I just investigated the social accounts of the two of them, and they even ruled out the possibility of netizens."
"What?!" Tony was shocked and said, "So how did these two guys come together?" Ghost Rider also helped Eric kill T'Chaca! ”
"If Robbie Reyes is an orthodox ghost knight, then there is certainly no such thing as him being hired by Eric, because if Robbie and Johnny Blazer were the same ghost knights, then they should be extremely principled people, and they will not become mercenaries."
"That's what we need to look at next." Goofy said solemnly, "There must be another character behind this matter, and this character binds Eric and Ghost Rider together......"
"Also, please note that the appearance of the Ghost Rider only solves one problem - Eric is not enough to kill T'Chaca, and only the Ghost Knight can kill T'Chaca......"
"But there's another thorny question that Ghost Rider can't answer – where did Eric and Ghost Rider get the money and technology to build a batch of Ultron robots?"
Tony Stark immediately followed Goofy's train of thought.
"So the organization that tied Eric to Ghost Rider together and copied the Ultron Robot, and they are the ones responsible for this?"
"Yes." Goofy nodded, "This is a complicated case, and finding one or two key people is far from enough to solve the case. ”
Tony Stark pinched his head: "Then investigating this case is just the right time for me to change my brain, the development of the space battleship has almost shut down my brain......"
————————
Five hours later.
Outside the meeting venue.
The captain of the Wakanda guard, Okoye, walked towards T'Challa with heavy steps, her expression already telling what she was about to report.
"T'Challa, our king has been confirmed dead......"
With that, Okoye's tears rolled down his cheeks.
"How is that possible?!" T'Challa stood up angrily and shouted, "The body hasn't been found yet, how can we confirm death?" On what basis do they confirm death? ”
"My father was the great king of Wakanda, an invincible Black Panther, and the most powerful man I have ever known! He couldn't have died! There was no way he could die! ”
Okoye walked over to T'Challa and gently pressed his shoulder.
"T'Challa, they ...... A surveillance video was found in which the king's last footage was recorded. ”
Speaking of which, Okoye pointed to a car not far away, where the surveillance video was playing.
"I don't believe it!"
T'Challa roared angrily, and he shook off Okoye's hand and rushed towards the car.
Half an hour later.
T'Challa, who had watched the surveillance video six times, stepped out of the car in despair, and at this moment he seemed to feel that the sky above him had collapsed directly, smashing him to death.
"T'Challa, my great prince, the crown prince of Wakanda." Okoye hurriedly greeted him and said, "Cheer up, there is another country of people waiting for you." ”
T'Challa looked up at Okoye in a daze, his mind replaying clips of his father's death.
The black man with outstanding fighting skills, the white man who suddenly turned into a flaming skull......
and the army of Ultron robots outside......
These guys make up the team that assassinated T'Chaca.
"Okoye, who do you think did this?" T'Challa asked in a deep voice.
"T'Challa, I think the most important thing for us now is ......"
"Answer me!" T'Challa interrupted Okoye's words angrily and snapped, "Who do you think did this?" ”
Okye was startled, but finally answered T'Challa's question obediently.
"I think Ultron Robotics is pretty telling, isn't it?"
"As for the two men who assassinated the king directly, especially the guy whose head could be turned into a match...... I've heard that Goofy, the founder of the nation of Ultron, owns a supernatural academy where the students are all powerful......"
"This match skull...... Must have been his student too. ”
