I don't know if it's to avoid suspicion, but the mayor of New York still hasn't appeared. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The White Queen, dressed in a monk's robe, gently lowered her hood, revealing a stunning face that rejected people thousands of miles away.

"Follow me." The greetings were directly omitted, and the White Queen led Wu Chen to the shrine placed at the front of the church. When Wu Chen stood still, the queen gently shook the gold-inlaid cross placed on the shrine, and the entire front hall immediately sank to the ground with the shrine.

Wu Chen smiled and asked, "Do you come first, or do the Avengers come later?" ”

"Of course we'll come first." The White Queen replied with a smile: "Our history is almost as old as this city. ”

Wu Chen nodded. Indeed, the Hellfire Club is far older than the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. In other words, the two families are so close that they are just a ...... Coincidental?

The secret room was far deeper than Wu Chen thought. It even greatly weakened his perception of the outside world.

Seeing that Wu Chen looked a little impatient, the White Queen immediately walked over and pulled him to sit on the first row of prayer chairs closest to the shrine.

Take a closer look at the neo-Gothic icon reliefs and the ukiyo-e paintings depicted in the Bible. Wu Chen couldn't help but ask, "You won't be implying that Jesus is also a mutant, right?" ”

The White Queen blinked and replied with a smile, "Who knows." ”

Seeing that Wu Chen didn't speak, the White Queen subconsciously glanced at him: "But I know that you are not a mutant." Not even a mutant gene. ”

Wu Chen nodded happily: "That's right." I'm just a normal person. ”

"But why are ordinary people able to reach ...... To that extent? This is where the White Queen is puzzled. A powerful spiritual powerhouse, the White Queen has also seen it. For example, Professor X, Mrs. Cobweb, and Phoenixqin Grey. However, there is no other spiritual world that can be as magical as Wu Chen.

It is no exaggeration to say that the appearance of Wu Chen suddenly pulled the White Queen's vision to a new height. She didn't even tell the second person what she had seen and experienced at that dinner.

Including Black King Sebastian Shaw.

Both of them silently thought about their own thoughts until the sinking stopped. The lights around it were lit one after another, and a circular hall that was not ornate suddenly appeared.

It appears to be a natural underground cave. Overhead is covered with natural stalactites, and the ancient stone hall is made of rough obsidian blocks to form a ring of tables. The only high-tech technology is a 3D imaging system consisting of three laser heads on the overhead, floor, and back wall of each stone seat.

As the green lasers converged from three directions, the members of the 'core group' who were manipulating the Hellfire Club behind the scenes 'appeared' one after another.

Therefore, except for the White Queen and Wu Chen, these core members who were wearing robes full of evil aura, covered all over their bodies, and wearing masks on their faces, were actually not at the scene. It may even be scattered around the world.

Wu Chen looked around and only recognized the Black King, Sebastian Shaw.

Sure enough, feeling Wu Chen's gaze, Sebastian Shaw slowly lifted his hood and took off his mask.

"I'll introduce you." The Black King pointed to his right: "This is the White King." ”

The tall White King is full of the aristocratic atmosphere of the old days. Even if Wu Chen couldn't see his appearance, he could feel his powerful aura. To be able to become a member of the core group of the Hellfire Club, it must not be easy to think of the real identity. Maybe it's a great guy who appears on TV every day.

"I am amazed at the achievements of New Hong Kong." The White King sent greetings in a hoarse voice full of magnetism.

"Fluke." Wu Chen smiled slightly.

Then, the Black King pointed to his left hand and said, "This is the Black Queen." ”

The black queen in Wu Chen's memory should be the blackened Phoenix Qin Grey. However, in the plot world, Jean Grey does not have anything to do with the Hellfire Club, and the Black Queen is most likely the successor of the Dark Phoenix, Selene. A powerful magician, mutant. A woman who lived for 17,000 years! The earliest known mutants!

Regarding this black queen, Wu Chen's admiration is beyond words.

It remains to be seen whether it will be or not. After all, this is the plot world of the shelter. The characters and backgrounds are very different from the comics.

Of course, there is also a connection in the plot.

For example, in the comics, the use of sentinel robots to eliminate all mutants is the secret plan of the former Hellfire Core led by Edward "Ned" Buckman.

At that time, Hellfire was still an elite group dominated by humans. but was slaughtered by Sebastian Shaw and the White Queen. After the bloody seizure of power, the two joined forces to form a new core group dominated by mutants. Now, the entire Hellfire Club is actually in the hands of mutants. How to cancel the Sentinel Project for mutants has become Sebastian Shaw's top problem.

This is Wu Chen's speculation about the direction of the entire plot.

This is also the reason why Sebastian Shaw appeared in front of Wu Chen with the detailed information of the Sentinel Plan. Because in a sense, the Hellfire Club is also one of the initiators.

"Who do you like best?" It's really a woman, and she asks this kind of question as soon as you meet.

Wu Chen smiled: "I like them all." ”

The Black Queen nodded noncommittally and said no more.

Then, Sebastian Shaw introduced Wu Chen to the bishop, the black rook and the white chariot.

Coupled with the White Queen who accompanied Wu Chen, the 7 cores of the core members all met with Wu Chen.

Although this way of meeting...... It is the same as not seeing. However, they all left a preliminary impression on each other. It's a good start.

Not only can images be faked, but audio can also be faked. Therefore, he himself has no expectations for the credibility of these 3D images that Wu Chen heard and saw today. However, the fact that these core members of Hellfire are willing to meet with him is enough to show the importance they attach to him.

After the greetings, the White King asked the questions in everyone's minds.

"Excuse me, what did you buy Staten Island for?"

Wu Chen already has a convincing answer to this question: "First of all, I want to build a new Hong Kong dependent territory. Secondly, in order to combat a possible crisis. ”

"You're going to expand your power to another hemisphere." The White King nodded, "We admire your ambition. ”

Wu Chen smiled: "The reason why Manhattan is Manhattan is because she is unique and irreplaceable. But when the Staunton was built, Manhattan was destined to be replaced. ”

The White King nodded: "If Staten Island can have the atmosphere of a new Hong Kong, the existence of Manhattan will be meaningless. ”

After a brief silence, the Black King then asked, "So, what do you think about the Sentinels?" ”

"I think that's a huge threat comparable to the apocalypse." Wu Chen's answer hit the nail on the head.

"So, you want to use a strong fortress to defend against the threat of the sentinels. Just like you sheltered Hong Kong, sheltered New York? "The one who speaks is the mysterious Black Queen.

Wu Chen nodded happily: "It's okay." No problem. ”

Wu Chen's neutral answer was very ingenious. In other words, save New York. The implication, however, is that he didn't do it to save New York. It's okay to achieve your own goals and piggyback on New York. As he said, no problem.

A silent exchange began between the core members of the Hellfire Club. The dialogue between them, the 3D image is not shown.

After reaching an agreement, Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, spoke: "We sincerely invite you to join us. ”

Wu Chen shook his head with a smile: "You are not short of manpower. The implication is that there is a suitable candidate for each chess piece. In particular, there are 7 core members, the king, the queen, the bishop, and the chariot. With Wu Chen's current status, at least he is one of the kings.

Sebastian Shaw's expression said it all: "Okay. Looking forward to seeing you again. ”

Say goodbye to the six core members in turn, and the laser imaging will go out.

The White Queen broke the cross again, and the ground rose immediately.

"I heard you're recruiting?" The White Queen suddenly spoke.

"Hmm." There's nothing to hide: "Assemble my own X-Band." ”

"Also for Staten Island?"

"Nope." Wu Chen smiled: "In order to find Wolverine Logan." ”

"Oh......" The White Queen originally asked casually, but she didn't expect Wu Chen to answer her truthfully.

"I have a good candidate. You're going to love it. The White Queen made a decision. This seems to be a reward for Wu Chen's honesty.

"Okay." For the woman in front of him who was almost lost in his spiritual net, Wu Chen reciprocated with twelve points of respect.

According to the rules of the Hellfire Club, each core member has the right to set up his or her own exclusive squad. So in X-Men: First Battle, the Black King not only formed his own team, but also had a super-era nuclear submarine as a mobile base for the team.

Similarly, the White Queen should have her own team.

Giving his own people to Wu Chen for free explains a lot of problems.

This neo-Gothic church is believed to have been an early stronghold of the Hellfire Club. Not only the architectural style, but also the furnishings inside are old enough. It is estimated that due to the establishment of the Avengers, it will gradually be used in the dust. Today, it is only used as a secret point of contact.

Sending Wu Chen to the door of the church, the White Queen immediately stopped. Wu Chen, who quietly watched Wu Chen, who walked to the courtyard, was taken away by a beam of laser light dropped out of thin air.

He stood quietly for a long time before turning back to the church.

The White Queen's every move did not escape the monitoring of the white swan in a stealthy state. TT40, who analyzed some results through the analysis of physical data, couldn't help but laugh and quipped, "Master? Why don't you bring her with you? ”

Wu Chen smiled: "She hasn't thought about it yet. ”

"Oh...... "TT40 actually doesn't understand very well!"

White swans hover over Staten Island, taking control of the entire city's operations through virtual modeling of its trajectory that perfectly matches reality. TT40 can accurately transport Wu Chen to the nearest safe area to the destination. Provided, of course, that there is no occlusion in between.

As night fell, the phone rang punctually.

Ennayi's smartphone, copied from N9, is connected by itself. Daredevil's voice followed. The smartphone automatically replies with the stored voice of Wu Chen. Completed this very important conversation.

The phone is not with the owner. The luxurious living cabin was empty.

Through the steaming water vapor in the bathroom, two tightly entangled bodies were faintly visible. The man's heavy breathing, intertwined with the woman's coquettish wheezing, was first shattered by the dull impact sound, and then dispersed by the sound of falling water, mixed with the diffuse mist, swallowing and pounced in all directions, but was hopelessly bounced back by the hard transparent alumina bulkhead, shattered into a salty and wet **** ......

Su Yueming, who was exhausted, was carried to bed in a daze. She felt the man kiss her forehead away, but the heavy eyelids became lazy like a full body. No matter what, I don't listen to me.

Just while waking up, I fell asleep lazily.

She had a sweet dream. It was as if she was lying drunk by the spring, listening to the thick spring flowing through her body......

Accompanied by an expanding electronic cloud, Wu Chen appeared in Hell's Kitchen.

With just a slight noise, Daredevil, with his radar senses, will be able to pick up his location.

Soon, the dark red figure swung steadily.

"Follow me."

Wu Chen responded with a smile. In other words, do superheroes come out of a routine? The greetings were just skipped.

Daredevil took Wu Chen through the narrow back streets and alleys. It seems that before contacting Wu Chen, this route had been cleared by Daredevil in advance. Except for the miscellaneous mobs who whispered in the shadows and in the garbage heaps, there were not half ghosts along the way.

"Jump." With that, Daredevil fell to the ground. Wu Chen stretched out his head and saw that it was a deep sewer.

So, jump, right? Besides, there are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sewers, so what else is there to worry about. However, in the fusion world of DC and Marvel, there is no "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from MirageStudios, which is a question mark.

Don't take it for granted, boy......

New York's sewers are like a labyrinth in all directions. The age of construction also varies, and many are more than 100 years old. It's more complex than you think. Nowadays, if you want to dig a hole in New York City, you need a detailed drawing. Because any infrastructure that is dug up may be more than 100 years old. A slippery hand and knocking off a brick can cause an underground pipeline to collapse and cost millions of dollars. As a result, the diagram of the underground pipe network for New York's municipal engineers is stored as a confidential document.

Then the repeated construction of the city on the plane, municipal renovation, etc., make many abandoned pipelines become a paradise for adventurers. It has also given rise to a new profession called 'urban explorers' who 'know the essence of a city from the sewers'.

For $27, you can take a "sewer tour". Meet at New York's Central Plaza, walk through Greenwich Village, follow the Minetta Brook Sewer, and walk all the way to the Hudson River. Along the way, urban explorers will tell you about the changes in the city's rivers, how they affect urban development, and how they are buried underground. You'll also stop to look at the manhole covers and study the names of the streets that echo the underworld. Don't forget to grab a flashlight and shine through the cracks in the ancient manhole covers, and you'll have the chance to witness the tip of the iceberg of the vast underground world.

Of New York's 10,600 kilometers of sewer pipes, even the greatest urban explorers have walked only a tiny, if not 1%, fraction of them. They often have to wade through chest-high sewage, traverse hundred-year-old garbage heaps, and sometimes spend the night in pipes.

From different angles, with different understandings, to go through it. Urban explorers love New York in a way that few people do.

Of course, even urban explorers can't tell how many secrets are hidden in the 10,600-kilometre sewer pipes.

"Here we are." Full of emotion, Daredevil suddenly stopped one meter in front of him.

Wu Chen looked around and found that he had come to an old-fashioned subway station that had long been abandoned and not used. The platform is decorated with all kinds of colored light bulbs, not neon tubes or LED lights, and the holographic display screen is even more shadowless.

The walls were painted with white paint and red paint a large 23.

"So, this is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Vault 23?"

"Yes." The sound comes from the platform.

The superhero in an old-school biker jacket is not Team America. (To be continued.) )
