Chapter 066: Fury Knell
"We'll have to wait a while."
"Wait?"
"Hold on a little longer, and the person I'm talking about will soon arrive."
"How fast is it soon?"
"Uh, maybe five or six minutes? It could also be seven or eight minutes. ”
"You're going to kill me......"
"Don't say that, I'm helpless too. Well, you just have to think that your persistence will pay off. Revenge, you have to remember that you want revenge! ”
This is a two-way communication between Rhaegar and Coulson, and the content is very simple, Coulson contacts a helper, and that helper will unite with Rhaegar who is the 'Spirit of Vengeance' to deal with Knell. It's just that the plan came out too hastily and people didn't get it that quickly.
Let's not talk about who the helper is, which Regar doesn't know yet, but let's talk about the plan itself. In fact, after Rhaega appeared in the hidden basement of the Gotham Theater as the "Spirit of Vengeance" and blocked the Knell, Coulson was able to temporarily escape and learn from Skye that the "Spirit of Vengeance" was Rhaegar through the headset, and he had the initial idea of killing Knell.
Under normal circumstances, Coulson would not want to kill anyone, even if the other party is a Hydra man, and he is an undercover agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. Under normal circumstances, if the other party really has enough value, he is more willing to create an opportunity for S.H.I.E.L.D. to sneak it up. But for the death knell, it's a different story entirely. First of all, Knell will not be easily tricked, and his own strength is super strong, the cost of capturing such a guy alive is too high, and the risk of being escaped by him is also high. Once he does get out of the trap, Coulson is in danger of being exposed. Therefore, you can't be captured alive, you can only kill.
Coulson is good-hearted, but never pedantic. He won't have a bottom line of not killing. As the most existential member of the Hydra Law Enforcement Team, there are many people who have died under his knife - whether good or bad, whether ordinary people or superpowers - and Coulson will not have the psychological burden to kill him. And now that the decision has been made, the question arises: how to kill?
Again, he can't reveal his identity as an undercover agent for S.H.I.E.L.D., so he can't involve the team members. At present, he has secretly evaluated the team members, and the results are not bad, and even Fitz and Simmons, who graduated from Hydra Academy, have begun to realize the hypocrisy and injustice of Hydra, but it is not yet time for the showdown to be made public. But if there is anyone in the team who is most likely to agree to fight to the death with Deathstroke, it is naturally Rhaegar, who has just been killed by Deathstroke once.
Why did Rhaegar give his new identity the name of the 'Spirit of Vengeance'? This has nothing to do with Hydra or S.H.I.E.L.D., or superiors and subordinates. Coulson believed that Rhaegar had at least a moment when he felt that he should take revenge. Therefore, Coulson took advantage of the topic and proposed a framework that was more suitable as a backstory for 'Vengeful Spirit'. And when Rhaegar perfected this framework, Coulson felt that he and Rhaegar had reached a tacit agreement on dealing with Death Knell that did not need to be spoken.
So the two didn't let Skye and the others participate, set up a separate communication channel, and worked out a corresponding plan together. When Rhaegar walks down the street with the death knell that is quietly following him, Coulson gives a lot of targeted advice on his perception of the death knell. On the other side, Rhaegar also expressed some of his thoughts, and shared them with Coulson. The two also jointly selected the open space that led the death knell out, so as to reduce the vigilance of the death knell and give the helper Coulson found a better room to play.
Although until now, Rhaegar did not know who this helper Coulson was talking about.
If you don't know yet, you don't know yet, that helper will always appear, and Rhaegar believes that Coulson will not drop the chain in this kind of thing, let alone be a black hand. It's just that as time went on, he didn't have the heart to think about it. He didn't even know if he would be able to hold out until the moment the helper arrived—the death knell had 'burst beans'!
Well, for leaving a hand before the death knell, Rhaegar is not unprepared. But he didn't expect that the outbreak of the death knell, or the hole card of the death knell, would be so powerful.
At that time, Rhaegar relied on his physical fitness that was not far from Death Knell under the increase of 'Soul Blue Light', plus some analysis of Death Knell by him and Coulson, and then relied on the way of fighting for his life with injuries, and barely suppressed Death Knell. Although Deathstroke also has the ability to heal beyond ordinary people, his ability is different from that of Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger, and he cannot repair a broken limb, which is why the socket of his right eye has been empty. So as Rhaegar continued to attack and defend, concentrating the tip of the blade towards his head, he had to spend more time defending.
Knell, who is aggressive both in his fighting style and in his human style, is naturally dissatisfied with this very passive state, so he 'bursts beans'. He hadn't fooled his head into avoiding the blow as he had done countless times before, but instead stood there with his feet and allowed Rhaeggar's single stab to the right eye on his hood.
When the single knife pierced Deathbell's hood, pierced Deathknell's eye socket, and the touch of the bone that touched Deathknell's face was transmitted to Rhaegar's hand through the single knife, Rhaegar was involuntarily stunned. He didn't expect Deathbell to eat this blow alive that could have been dodged.
Noticing the confusion in Rhaeggar's eyes, Deathstroke laughed. At this time, he grabbed the blade of Rhaegara's single knife with his right hand, preventing it from stabbing deeper, but the blood flowing along the blade from the socket of his right eye and right hand made his face extremely hideous.
"As you wish, you're about to see the strongest side of me."
Without waiting for Rhaegar to react, Knell jerked his head forward, and at the same time pulled Rhaeggar's single knife in his right hand in the direction of his own head, and the single knife that was originally stuck in his facial bones completely pierced the entire eye socket at this time, and the blade had already pierced his brain.
The next moment, the death knell was like death, his hands naturally hung down, and the whole person lost his strength and fell to the ground. Rhaegar didn't use any force, and the single knife that pierced Knell's brain was 'pumped' out by him.
No one would commit suicide after letting out such a cruel word. Even if there were, it wouldn't be a death knell. There was no doubt that Knell was not a suicide, and Rhaegar was quick to affirm it.
It's ironic to say. As mentioned earlier, Knell is an extremely aggressive guy, but his 'popping beans' are achieved in a passive way: when he is mortally wounded, he will fall into a state of madness and bestiality for a short period of time while he recovers from his wounds.
So, Rhaegar suffered. Faced with the death knell that slowly stood up from the ground like a zombie, he didn't make up for it as soon as possible, and as a result, he was punched in the chest by the 'furious deathknell', which was instantly accelerated by several times, and the wound that had undergone open surgery dozens of minutes ago completely collapsed, and a lot of blood was 'spilled' out, not to mention the bandages, and even the black combat uniform modified from the SWAT uniform was instantly dyed a dark red.
Thanks to Reggar, he doesn't think more about the coordination of his body, and can use the 'soul blue light' to complete part of the function of the neural link. Otherwise, with the punch of the death knell alone, he could only collapse to the ground and remain motionless.
However, the 'soul blue light' is not a panacea. He had already consumed a lot of energy before, and now that he was hit by the furious deathknell, Rhaegar could already feel that this body was beginning to enter a stage where the recovery speed could not keep up with the speed of blood loss. The death knell in his berserk state barely needed time to regain his breath, and used the simplest and most direct movements to form a continuous series of crazy attacks, or shocks, which made his recovery speed that he couldn't keep up with getting lower and lower......
Thus, there is the conversation with Coulson at the beginning of this chapter. Seven or eight minutes, five or six minutes? No, he won't even be able to stay up for three minutes!
