After several high-tech ninjas were subdued, Tony crouched down and ripped off the mask of one of them with one hand. Only saw the face that seemed to be an Asian under the mask, and he had beaten his nose and swollen face, but his expression was still indifferent. The man's eyes were almost slit, the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and he said in Japanese, "It's a defeat." ”

"Jarvis, what did he say?"

"That's Japanese, he said towel, sir."

Tony nodded, "Very good, but I know each other." So, who are you working for? ”

"We may have failed, Mr. Stark." The man said lightly, "But the master also told me to bring you a message - you took what doesn't belong to you, it's not something you can control." Hand over the cube and it will be the right choice for both of us and for the planet. ”

Tony was confused: "Wait, first of all, I don't know who your master is. Secondly, I don't understand what the 'cube' is. Don't you all have a habit of speaking clearly? ”

The man closed his eyes and said no more. A second later, his body twitched suddenly, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with white foam, and he was already out of breath.

"What?" Tony was startled and scolded, "Hell, is there really such a madman? I thought this kind of dead man movie was only in it. ”

Eric glanced at it and said, "The others are also dying, I guess they have potassium cyanide or something hidden in their teeth." ”

After a pause, he asked, "He said you took what belonged to them, are you sure you didn't know anything about it?" ”

Tony shook his head, "I promise, I'm just as confused as you are right now." I think we can start by finding out who they are, and maybe figuring out who they work for will help us figure out what he means......"

"This part can be saved." Eric picked up a sword that had just been used by these ninjas, reversed the hilt, and showed the pattern on it, saying, "I know this pattern, I saw it in the watchtower's database. This sword belongs to the Assassin Alliance, and these high-tech ninjas should also come from the Assassin Alliance, and their so-called master is the legendary ninja master Lei Xiaogu. ”

At the same time, in the AIM base.

As soon as the exhibition was over, a communication request rang out from Murdoch's side. He pressed on, and the black outline immediately appeared on the screen, and the inviolable majesty pierced through the screen. Murdoch knew that it was the rumored ninja master Lei Xiaogu.

"My people have failed." Lei Xiaogu said lightly.

Murdoch snorted: "You say it's just an avenger, it's not worth worrying about at all?" ”

Lei Xiaogu said: "This attempt is mainly just to test, and although my people failed, they also tried something...... Stark doesn't seem to know anything about the cube. ”

Murdoch's heart skipped a beat, as if he felt his electric gaze penetrate the screen and into his body, as if he wanted to see through his soul. But he forced himself to calm down and snorted: "Why, would you rather believe in your enemies than in your friends?" ”

Lei Xiaogu said coldly: "Friend? There has never been a similar relationship between us, all of us are. We only came together because of the same interests for the time being, that's all. But if we find out that you are lying, then our current state of relationship will not be maintained, and you know the consequences at that time, so I don't need to say more, right? ”

Murdoch narrowed his eyes and said, "I know." ”

The communication hung up, the screen was dark again, and Murdoch finally let go of his breath and gasped. He glanced up at random, but it was okay not to look at it, but when he saw it, he was frightened again. From the reflection of the pitch-black screen in front of him, he vaguely saw a figure floating behind him at some point, without the slightest breath, like a ghost.

Murdoch turned around in fright, and without thinking about it, he fired a red laser beam and whistled straight at the man behind him. The man waved his hand calmly, and a faint light flashed from his hand, and the laser beam was very strangely pulled and deflected, and it hit one side of the wall at a 90-degree angle, causing sparks to fly.

Only then did Murdoch see the face of the person who came, and his face turned white: "Middle...... Central? ”

The person who came was the bishop, who was wearing an inky cloak, looking at Murdoch with a smile on his face, not angry and arrogant, and his aura made people almost involuntarily lose the will to resist.

Murdoch knew that he had violated the rules set by the "center", and he used his vast resources to complete a research that had never been done before, but in the end he was selfish and wanted to monopolize the results. He had heard that the "Hub" knew everything, knew anyone's best-kept secrets, and that the fate of anyone who was approached by the "Hub" was chilling.

But there was still a trace of luck in his heart, and his face remained unchanged, and he asked, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

The bishop did not speak, only stretched out his right hand, and saw a golden swirl flash in his palm, and a small cube with a blue body and a dreamlike brilliance was lying in his palm, and the blue energy inside flowed like flowing water.

Seeing this, Murdoch's face changed suddenly: "This ...... This...... No way! 'Cube' should be in ......"

"In the vault you're hiding underground?" The bishop said.

Murdoch didn't doubt it anymore. There is a layer hidden underneath this base, and he is the only one in the entire AIM who knows about it. And the vault is encrypted with layers of encryption, equipped with several sets of the world's top security systems, and almost mosquitoes can't fly in. But the "Hub" can do anything, even if he is only half as powerful as rumored, so it is not surprising that he can get in and out of the vault.

Murdoch was dripping with sweat, and the murderous head had already begun to think about countermeasures. He considered sounding the alarm and calling people to besiege him, or suddenly making it difficult to let go, or making up some more lies to hide from the other party, but in the end they were all vetoed one by one. In front of the "center", he only felt like he had become a lamb to the slaughter, and everything he did was in vain.

However, just when he was almost ready to die, the bishop suddenly said, "This thing is quite a novelty, I didn't expect you to really be able to toss such an interesting thing." To be honest, I didn't really believe it when you applied for this project. ”

Murdoch remained silent.

The bishop smiled, walked over to the table, put down the cube in his hand, and said, "It's okay, you can just continue to play as you want." ”

Murdoch was stunned, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard. But the bishop had turned, and a golden vortex had opened out of thin air in front of him, and he had already stepped into it.

Murdoch asked, "...... Are you not going to execute me? ”

The bishop glanced at him and said, "What do you say?" Then the figure disappeared into the whirlpool.

After experiencing great ups and downs in his heart, Murdoch was suddenly ecstatic, he never expected that his out-of-the-ordinary actions would be tacitly approved by the "center". He picked up the cube left by the bishop, and his gaze showed madness, as if he had reached the top of the world.
