Chapter 44: The Punisher (Ask for Votes!) )
How could this bit of strength break the moon god's suit.
Steven's first reaction was that a mouse rubbed his trouser leg and lifted his foot, only to find that there was a flying knife on the ground.
"Are you a pig? So slow to react? ”
Mark roared in his head.
Steven cowered back to the base of the wall, his head turning around to look around, but he didn't see any figures.
But Sean had already spotted the man.
He crouched on a canopy, cloaked in camouflage nets, and set up a sniper rifle.
And this face, Sean couldn't be more familiar.
Frank Custer, a retired U.S. Marine Corps captain, turned into a "punisher" after his family was killed by the underworld, and took revenge on all the evil forces, claiming that "as long as you are guilty, you must die".
But the Punisher's killing behavior is contrary to the idea that other superheroes don't kill, so superhero teams like the Avengers and the Defenders have refused him to join.
The Punisher is referred to as a "Level 10 Agent" by S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury, a level that can be said to be the highest level of human combat power.
Theoretically, this combat power is much stronger than that of Mark without a suit.
It's just that...... Why is he here?
Frank was also confused.
He and Jack Lockley once fought side by side against criminals, and both admired each other's ideas and methods, and formed a strong friendship in the battle.
The two of them have almost reached the limit of ordinary people, and they have turned their backs to each other, playing a huge role in the process of eliminating those deep-rooted underworld forces.
But for some reason, one day Jack said goodbye.
Although Jack told Frank that he had a split personality, Frank never really took it seriously, thinking that the other party was just joking.
Later, Jack goes missing, and Frank searches for him, hearing that he has joined a mercenary group to dig up artifacts.
Frank was very disappointed at one point, he felt that Jack had become the kind of person he hated the most for money, and he wanted to settle accounts with Jack, but found that the mercenary seemed to have infighting, and they were all dead.
I thought that Jack's life would end like this, but I didn't expect that one day, the other party actually contacted me again.
"Coming back from the dead" was not the most shocking thing for Frank, what shocked him the most was that the other party actually had a set of almost invincible suits.
Frank has seen some bad guys over the years, such as a villain in Hell's Kitchen who can tear up reinforced concrete, but this suit ...... It's the first time I've ever experienced it.
Jack tells Frank that the other personalities in him are becoming more and more overwhelmed, and that this body can no longer be controlled by him.
Despite this, with the help of certain powers, he woke up at a certain time and began to punish the guilty with blood with Frank.
Frank was skeptical at first, observing the actions of Jack's body while he was asleep, and found that the other party was not usually aware of the experience of working with the Punisher, but when the appointed time came, Jack would wake up as scheduled and fight alongside Frank.
Gradually, Frank got used to it.
Not only that, but with that powerful suit, Frank is now full of confidence.
He and Daredevil tried many times to get rid of the tumors in Hell's Kitchen, but they failed because of their weak bodies, and even the two of them were often in danger of their lives.
But now it's different, and with this invincible suit, it seems like there's a real possibility of launching a purge of Hell's Kitchen and changing it completely.
Frank has been waiting for this day for a long time.
However, the accident happened, and at the appointed time, Jack pigeon died.
Frank hurried to find someone, and found that they were actually teasing children in the museum.
He immediately panicked and tried to wake up the other party, but Steven called the police.
Not only did he call the police, but he also put on a battle suit to track him down.
This sent Frank's heart to the bottom.
But it's not a dead end.
Jack once told Frank that if he couldn't wake up, there was another way, which he could only use on special occasions.
That is - to create a danger to life.
But there are dangers to this approach.
There is a half chance that in the event of a fatal crisis in the body, Jack can take over by force.
There is also a half chance that he will not be able to react to a fatal crisis and die on the spot.
But now seeing Steven's suit, which is completely inconsistent with his aesthetics, Frank feels as if he has been overly concerned.
It's still a question of whether you can break the defense with this shot.
With a gentle push, Frank loads the 12.7mm sniper bullet.
He aimed at Steven's chest and gently pulled the trigger.
The bullet passed through the silencer and made only a very slight sound.
Unbeknownst to Steven, the bullet flew through Steven's chest and out of his vest.
Not a single drop of blood came out of the hole, only sending Steven back a few steps.
Then, the hole healed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Fack!" When Frank takes on Moon Knight himself, he finally realizes how desperate his former teammate's enemies are.
"When did you meet him?"
A voice came from behind him, and Frank rolled on the spot in an instant, drawing his pistol and preparing to shoot, but there was nothing behind him.
"Don't look for it, I'm in your head."
Frank didn't respond, still maintaining his tactical moves, lowering himself in search of the next cover.
"Why don't you believe that you have a split personality? I'm your other personality! ”
Frank has never been able to discern the source of this voice, but his mind has long been determined after so many years of tempering.
He doesn't believe he has a split personality, but is always on his toes.
Seeing this, Sean stopped teasing him, and appeared from the state of invisibility.
Anyway, I can't hear Frank's heart, which fully shows that the other party is a normal person, and it is quite difficult to be deceived.
When Frank saw Sean appear, he immediately opened fire without hesitation.
Then, instead of a bullet, the muzzle shoots foam.
It's all bubbles.
Frank threw away his gun as soon as he could, drew his dagger and stabbed at it.
He gathered all his strength and headed for Sean, the tip of his knife stabbed into Sean's chest.
His bouncing speed is comparable to that of a cheetah, and Sean is stabbed by Frank without moving.
And then...... It's all bubbles.
"You've already seen Steven's suit, why are you stupid trying to deal with me?"
On Sean's forehead, a glowing crescent moon loomed.
"You ......" Frank immediately thought of Jack's suit, which also had a crescent blade on his chest, and Steven's suit just now had a crescent moon on his forehead. That suit, you gave it? ”
Sean gave an intriguing smile.
