At night, on the roof of an abandoned chemical plant on the edge of Manhattan, two people suddenly appeared there.

Take a closer look, it was Ling Xiao and Erica, as soon as she stood still, Erica almost collapsed to the ground, and the whole person couldn't help but retch!

Ling Xiao glanced at Erica and didn't say anything, many things still need her to adapt to by herself.

The scene she saw in the building before really disgusted her, after the 25 men and women came to the building, I don't know what Murakami Shin said to them, the 25 people actually walked into 25 special iron troughs, and then willingly cut off the right hand artery, blood gushed out, flowed into the iron trough, and then was pumped into the prepared centrifuge, and finally was separated from the plasma and poured into the Su Shengding on the side.

And what really made Erica feel unbearable was that the 25 people stretched out their hands without changing their faces, and at the same time as the artery of their left hand was cut, a strange look of satisfaction appeared on their faces, and it was this strange look that made Erica couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

After half a day, Erica barely stood up straight, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Ling, how can this be?" ”

"Those of them have been completely brainwashed, and their minds are completely controlled by the people of the Hand and Guild, and," Ling Xiao couldn't help but pause, and said in a deep voice, "And according to my estimates, I'm afraid I've experienced this kind of thing more than once before." I don't know if you've noticed, but the hand and the people are very careful when they uncover their right hand artery, so that the blood continues to flow out and the flow rate is not too fast. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Erica's mind was in chaos, and she didn't have time to think about the deeper meaning of Ling Xiao's words.

"These people are going to be fine." Ling Xiao sighed lightly and said: "The reason why they can be taken blood on such a large scale by the Hand is because when they were in the hospital before, in order to completely revive them, the hospital made up for the part of the blood they lost, and after that part of the blood ran in their bodies, it had become their own thing.

Will the hand and the hand make them die so easily, for so many years, the hand will have worked hard to find 25 people with such a physique.

At the end of this round of blood collection, they are re-bandaged and given various medications before moving on to the next round of blood collection. ”

Hearing that these people would not die, Erica's ugly expression was finally soothed, but she still couldn't help but ask Ling Xiao, "Are we really not doing anything?" Do you just let them be taken like animals and have their blood taken again and again? ”

"Otherwise, what else!" Ling Xiao turned his head and glanced at Erica deeply before continuing: "Those people have been deeply brainwashed, their own consciousness has been completely destroyed, even if they are really rescued, it will be difficult to get them back to normal. And even if I really get them all out tonight and kill all the people here, do you think they'll be fine? ”

Erica raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, she had rescued all the people, and all the people in the Hand Club had been killed, what else could happen?

Ling Xiao shook his head, sighed, and said: "According to what we know now, there are five major branches of the Hand Association, and the Murakami Shin who is in charge of this place is not even the supreme leader of Japan's Extreme Path, even if we kill all the people here, and all 25 people are rescued, won't the Japanese continue to search for people with similar physiques?" Think about it, if they do continue to do this, how many families will be destroyed? ”

A rare trace of resentment appeared on Ling Xiao's face, and he followed up and said, "And even if we rescue them, they will do everything possible to return to the Hand Clan, in that case, why should we." And we don't really do nothing, we're waiting, waiting for them to finally summon the black sky, and then I'll take matters into my own hands and completely destroy the black sky. Believe me, I have the strength. Only by doing so can we get rid of it. ”

Ling Xiao is now recognized as one of the few S-level powerhouses on the earth, no matter how strong the black sky is, when he is summoned to the earth by others, it is still a question of how much strength can be exerted, and Ling Xiao is confident enough to destroy him.

And only by completely destroying the black sky, there will be no similar things in this world in the future, and no more families will be harmed. Ling Xiao saw this very clearly, so he made his current decision.

Seeing Ling Xiao's gritted teeth, Erica's heart was inexplicably calm, she showed a smile at Ling Xiao, and then nodded and said, "You're right, I believe you!" ”

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face regained his calmness again, and he glanced at the building under his feet, as if he could see through the floor at a glance, and saw everything in the building, only to hear him continue: "This matter is far from over, if you want to summon the black sky to the earth, the blood required is massive, according to my estimate, it will take at least several months to achieve this step, and we have enough time to prepare." ”

With Ling Xiao's habits, how could he wait until the black sky landed on the earth before he came to deal with him, long before that, Ling Xiao had already started to prepare.

Not to mention, it is these things under his feet, although Ling Xiao doesn't want to do anything to those 25 people for the time being, but these 25 people are not the key to the whole thing, although the blood they provide is very important, but what is more important is the Su Shengding.

That Su Sheng Ding is the key to summoning the black sky to the earth, those blood are just consumables, only that Su Sheng Ding is the key to contact the black sky, and it is also the only thing that allows him to determine the coordinates of the earth.

And that Su Shengding is not simple, it is not an ordinary artifact, but a real magic weapon, it is very likely that it is something brought out from Kunlun by those people of the Hand Clan, Ling Xiao once tried to refine it secretly, but inside Su Shengding, there are five spiritual imprints, Ling Xiao's slightest movement may alarm these five spiritual imprints and alarm the people behind them.

Through these spiritual imprints, even if it is a long distance, as long as those five people join forces, they can urge this Ding at the same time, Ling Xiao did not think of taking this Ding away directly, but unfortunately, even if he is a Jindan-level powerhouse, it is not so easy to force this Bao Ding that has been refined by others for hundreds of years, once they do it desperately, then it is a trivial matter to destroy the entire Manhattan.

Murakami Shin is just a custodian after all, the real owner of this venerable tripod is still those five people, all he can do is to infuse the collected plasma into the Su Sheng Ding, and then wait for the final summoning of the black sky to come another day.

Ling Xiao wanted to seize this throne, and he had to wait for one of the five people to die suddenly, but the problem was that except for a lady Gao who had appeared, Ling Xiao didn't even know their true identities.

However, he is not completely out of the question, at least the movement of this Venerable Ding is always under his control.

Since that day, the whole of Manhattan seems to have suddenly calmed down, the Hand is no longer acting in the shadows, and Flack Custer has also sneaked into the shadows, with his experience in the special forces, it is too easy to hide from being discovered.

Since that day, Ling Xiao and Erica have not been seen again, and the negotiations with Roxon Oil have always been in charge of Hogarth.

Originally, Roxon Oil already had a perfunctory plan, but as soon as Mr. Koji, who was in charge of the negotiations, died, and Hogarth took out the ledger information provided by Erica to threaten, Roxon Oil was unwilling to entangle anymore, and it didn't take long for the two parties to reach a settlement agreement.

In this way, Erica suddenly had hundreds of millions of dollars in assets in her hands, but she did not plan to run these things herself, except for some relatively simple accidents such as coffee shops, hotels, clothing stores, etc., all other assets were entrusted to Hogarth for sale.

On this day, in the penthouse in the central block of Manhattan that Erica had just purchased, Ling Xiao received a call from Skye, and into the phone, he said in disbelief: "What, it can't be true, S.H.I.E.L.D. and its own director can be lost, this is too outrageous." ”

"There's no way, S.H.I.E.L.D. can't find any clues about Director Mace now, and they're completely sure that all of this was done by the Hydra people, and Director Mace, Coulson, and Mike are all in a very dangerous situation." Skye paused slightly on the other end of the line before continuing, "So on the S.H.I.E.L.D. side, no, it's Simmons who wants us to help. ”
