50. a door
The sound of a loud metal crash echoed through the empty underground, and Sean rode the elevator all the way down, and Erica, who followed beside him, looked at the masked man from time to time.
"They don't really obey me, whether it's Murakami or Sowanda, these leaders of the Hand have their own ideas."
Erica put on a long black trench coat, a short knife in her hand, and those beautiful eyes no longer flashed with a cruel and ferocious beastly light, but were replaced by the clear thinking of human beings.
"How can force alone bring them to their knees, these people are old guys who have lived for centuries, where will they easily give loyalty." In the dimly lit metal cage, the young man smiled, "Killing Alexandra is just a deterrent to them, you are the only black sky in the Hand Clan, the totem of faith for hundreds of years, those ninjas have a fanatical worship of you, this is your chance to control this huge organization." ”
"What about Murakami? Have they all been killed? The killing machine flashed in her eyes, perhaps as the first person she saw when she woke up, Erica had a strange and inexplicable sense of trust for this strange man.
Sean turned his head to look at Erica, the beautiful and delicate half-race face, although it had a little more human freshness, but still maintained an iceberg-like indifference. As a container that has carried black space, even if you regain your conscious consciousness, it is difficult to recover the missing human emotions immediately.
"Killing can't solve the problem, the Hand is a huge organization with a tight internal structure, its footprint is all over the world, it secretly controls a number of multinational trading companies, and at the same time it also has strong power in politics, such as the African warlord Suowanda, I don't know how many coups have been manipulated, and Murakami is also close to the Japanese giant company Shida Pharmaceutical, these are the real forces of the Hand Association."
Sean spoke eloquently, he had already asked Wesley to investigate the Hand before, and combined with the information in his head, he could at least sketch the outline of this huge organization.
"Then why are you ......" Erica's eyes were full of doubts, in that case, then why did Sean push her to the position of leader of the Hand just now?
"The situation will change." The young man in the black mask said lightly. "The rest of the leaders of the Hand Clan, they currently need the Black Sky to deal with the street heroes of Hell's Kitchen, so even if you kill Alexandra, they won't rush into action, because for the time being, the most important thing for them is to dig up the keel underground, prolong their own life, and everything else can be put back."
"This is the opportunity! When Mrs. Gao, Murakami, Suowanda, and the fighters fight to the death with the street heroes of Hell's Kitchen, you can slowly integrate the power in your hands. ”
Erica stared at the man beside her, and there was a terrifying dark aura in his casual tone, perhaps influenced by the black sky, and she was so obsessed with this feeling.
Like a candlelight in the night, attracting moths to approach, Erica, who has been parasitized by the black sky, is full of appreciation and recognition for Sean's seemingly casual but actually cold conspiracy calculations, as if she has found her kind.
"Of course, it all depends on your wishes." Sean paused, then continued, "You've been free, Erica, and now you have the right to choose your own life...... You can leave the Hand and return to Matt Murdoch's side, or you can side with the Sticks and destroy the evil organization of the Hand Clan. There are countless choices in life, and you can pursue whatever life you like. ”
Feeling Erica's surprised eyes, Sean guessed the other party's thoughts, and said calmly: "What the Hand Club values is precisely what I value the least, relying on the so-called 'keel' to continue life, what is the difference between this and those decrepit old people who lie on hospital beds and survive on oxygen tubes and life-sustaining equipment?" ”
"The meaning of life has never been its length, at least for me." The young man's voice echoed in the underground space, and every word was quite shocking. "Even without your help, I can still hold the Hand in the palm of my hand, the difference is just a little more means. Erica, we're not superficial allies who use each other, I don't want anything from you, and you don't have to do anything for me. ”
Erica was silent, she was adopted by the stick when she was a child, underwent harsh and cruel training, and later was sent to the family of a Greek diplomat, became a rich lady in high society, most of her life, she did things with a purpose or a plan, few people will tell her, you have the right to choose freely!
Erica's face was covered by long black hair, she snorted, looking like she wanted to say something, and with a "bang", the elevator reached the bottom, and Sean took the lead to walk out.
In the dimly lit underground space, filled with a rotten musty smell, the Hand bought the building under the guise of a construction company, and then dug into the ground to find the burial place of the keel's remains.
Eventually, they achieved their goal, and after spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the Hand found the burial place of the keel's remains, and Alexandra was overjoyed after confirming that it was correct, and prepared to immediately carry out the keel mining work, who knew that a basin of cold water was poured overhead, and a sealed gate blocked their way.
"Haven't you tried anything else?" Sean delved into the underground space, and he saw the door engraved with ancient words.
"Alexandra has tried to think of many methods, such as explosives, drilling rigs, etc., strong methods will not work, this door is a seal set by Kunlun, as long as it is not entered through the right way, the mechanism behind the gate will be activated immediately, and the entire space will collapse." Erica explained.
Sean stroked the obscure words engraved on the door, like an ancient language, and the door would only open automatically if it was activated by some special power.
"This is the seal set by the Kunlun Iron Fist, so you need another Iron Fist." Sean understood the cause and effect, this door buried deep in the ground can only be activated by Kunlun's unique inheritance power "Qi".
"So Danny Rand is incredibly important to the team." Erica stands in front of an ancient stone door, behind which is buried the remains of a dragon bone, which contains a huge amount of life energy that can bring people back to life and prolong life.
The fact that the Hand has political allies in many countries is precisely because of the magic of the keel, even the rich who sit on the mountain of gold, and the politician who holds the power in his hands, the desire for life is always endless.
Everyone is afraid of death, and as they age, they become more and more nostalgic for the beauty of this world, and the Hand has a secret elixir to bring people back to life, which naturally attracts a large number of solid allies.
"Greed often blinds people." Sean said a proverb, and his eyes were meaningful.
Behind this door is the continuation of life, but perhaps also a place for bones to be buried.
