Chapter 114: Explosion

"Alright! Does anyone want to eat meat kebabs? Uncle Jack grabbed a handful of skewers from the oven, and the aroma caused the children to rush over like hungry wolves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't rob, don't rob, everyone has a share...... Hey, Billy! Be careful not to burn! ”

Raven sat on the lawn, stretching his limbs comfortably in the sun, looking at this rippling warm picture, and unconsciously showed a hint of a smile.

"There's a place to call home...... That's good. Eric sat down next to her.

Raven's smile gradually retracted.

"What's wrong?"

"It'......s nothing," Raven hesitated, but seemed to decide to say to him, "I'm just not sure if this is the life I deserve, and I've always thought that this choice was a mistake." Get so close to you, and these innocent people, when that day comes......"

"At that time, we will face it together." Eric interrupted her, smiling and patting her on the shoulder.

They were interrupted by a news director: "...... Police and firefighters have arrived at the scene, and the situation is chaotic. The nineteenth and twentieth floors of the building were completely caught in flames, and the relevant personnel were organizing a rescue. Billionaire Tony Stark was allegedly being interviewed upstairs live at the time of the explosion, and no trace of Mr. Stark has been found so far......"

The voice came from the tablet that Aunt Alice was holding in her hand, and she squinted at the news in the tablet through a pair of red glasses, muttering, "It's been getting more and more chaotic these years, and it's never been like this in three days and two days like now......"

Tony was caught in the explosion again? That's right, the point is the word "again".

"Are you going to check it out?" Raven asked.

"Hmm...... Well, I'd better check it out. Eric said, "Stark is also a friend of mine, and I'm a little worried. ”

"Then go ahead."

Noticing that Eric was about to leave, Aunt Alice shouted, "Huh? Are you leaving? The skewers have just been grilled. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, but I just remembered...... I remembered that I forgot to turn off the gas at home! I'm sorry, I'll be back another day! ”

With that, he turned around and ran away as if he were running for his life.

Aunt Alice shook her head in confusion.

Coal gas?

Coney Island, the site of the explosion.

The accident happened suddenly, and the crowd of onlookers at the bottom of the building saw it, and the crimson fire tore apart the glass of the nineteenth and twentieth floors without warning, and the shards and Martian goddesses fell like scattered flowers, and the fire-colored smoke spread out from the inside of the building in all directions, and the scene was quite spectacular.

When Eric arrived at the scene on the nineteenth floor, the scene had been cordoned off by police and government personnel, but fortunately he saw a familiar figure through the cordon.

"Agent Carter?"

Sharon Carter, who heard his shout, turned around and gestured to the two black suits in front of the blockade.

"This kid can come in." She said.

Eric made his way through the blockade and came to Sharon's side. The scene was a mess, although the firefighters had basically controlled the fire, but there were still flames in the rubble, choking black smoke everywhere, the walls were scorched black, and blood was pasted on the black wall, which looked extremely weird.

"What's going on?" Eric asked, frowning.

"I don't know." Sharon shrugged, "So far we haven't found anything that could be the source of the explosion, and there are no explosives fragments or components left, as if a hot temperature and shock erupted out of thin air. ”

"But that's not possible."

"Of course it's impossible." Sharon said, holding her chin and thinking, "Something must have been missing...... There must be something we didn't expect. ”

Indeed, what is missing...... Eric thought for a moment, but couldn't remember what it was that shouldn't have been missed.

It seems that there is indeed a similar plot in the memory of comic books and movies in the previous life, without the explosion of explosives...... But he couldn't remember it for a moment.

He put the question aside for a moment and asked instead, "What about Stark?" Did you find him? ”

Sharon shook her head regretfully: "We have searched these two floors, and the person who should be found, dead or alive, has been found, only Stark's whereabouts are still unknown." We have to assume that this blasting was an attack planned by him...... You should have seen it when you came in, and his armor was still parked downstairs, so he certainly didn't make it out of the building. ”

"Someone kidnapped Stark." Eric frowned.

Sharon was right, nine times out of ten these were targeted attacks. But it doesn't make sense, if you just want to catch Tony, why do you want to do the blasting? Does attracting the attention of so many people with such fanfare help them in arresting people?

Or rather...... In fact, the explosion was actually an accident for the kidnappers?

"But it's not the first time." Sharon added, "In the past two days, there have been similar accidents in various parts of the United States, and the explosion terrorist attack with ultra-high temperature was released in an instant, but no explosives could be found at the scene. Aegis has basically determined that these accidents are all interconnected, and something must have strung them together, and now we are basically certain that Stark may also have some connection with this chain of accidents. We pulled up the call logs from Stark's personal phone and found that he had just picked up a call just minutes before the explosion. ”

"Wait, you're listening to his private phone calls?"

"A private phone for a business, to be precise." "He personally has another phone call, which is more complicated to encrypt and can't be snooped on...... Let's not talk about that, but listen to the content of this phone call. ”

She played the recording of the call with the Aegis multi-function communicator she wore on her wrist.

"Tony? Is that you? "It's a woman's voice.

"Of course, ma'am. But now the question is – who are you? Why would you know my private number? ”

"It's me, Maya Hansen, we've met."

"Uh, sorry, not impressive."

"It doesn't matter, what matters is that I need you. Or that Iron Man is needed, the situation is very urgent and may rise to a national-level security incident. ”

"That sounds like the right thing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Who?"

"Forget it, tell me the address, I'll be there in a moment."

That's the end of the recording.

"Maya Hansen." Eric pondered for a moment, and the name began to come to him with an impression.

"We also have surveys about this woman, botanists and genetic engineers, and here's the address."

"Why are you telling me this?" Eric asked, "I guess Aegis doesn't want outsiders to interfere in investigations, right?" ”

Sharon sighed: "It's what the director meant, he thinks you are very capable." And...... If you really want to intervene, I guess it's useless for me to say 'no'. ”

"That's true, so we're going to partner up this time?"

"No, I have other tasks." Sharon said, glancing in a different direction, "She's the one in charge of the investigation this time, you can act with her." ”

It was a woman with red hair like a ball of fire, her facial features were delicate and charming, her impeccable figure was vividly outlined by a tight black leather coat, and her beautiful emerald green eyes clearly revealed the killing intent that can only be experienced by rubbing shoulders with death countless times, and it can be said that she is a deadly woman who combines sex appeal and danger.

"This is Natasha Romanoff, codenamed Black Widow." Sharon introduced, "Our best agent. ”
