Chapter 173: The "Inner Ghost" Hidden in the Shadows
A mansion in the suburbs of New York.
"Pierce, what are you doing? You have no news of the forced disbandment of the X department, which has been the work of us for decades, and now it is all ruined because of you. ”
"I don't care what method you use, I want to see my weapon."
There was a roar on the other end of the line.
Pierce slowly drank the red wine in his glass, a disdainful sneer on his face.
It wasn't until the roaring on the other end of the phone stopped that he picked up the phone and said coldly.
"Are you commanding me? Citreil. ”
"Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would have been abandoned in the wilderness of Sokovia to be eaten by wild dogs, and now you dare to yell at me."
"Who gave you the guts? That red-skinned subordinate of yours? ”
There was a muffled growl on the other end of the line.
"Pierce, are you threatening me?"
Pierce showed a playful smile on his face: "That's right, I'm just threatening you, don't think that a mutant under your command can be so arrogant, you know, as long as that red-skinned friend of yours dares to appear, I can send him to God, haha~"
There was a half-silence on the other end of the line, as if frightened by Pierce.
After a long time, Citreil's gloomy voice sounded.
"Aren't you afraid I'll stab your betrayal in front of Dr. Doom?"
Pierce raised his wrist to look at the time and chuckled, "Who would believe a dead man?" Baron Citreil. ”
Siders, who was far away in Sokovia, was shocked.
Before he could react, a red figure appeared in the secret basement in a burst of red mist.
A mouthful of bloody arrows flew out, and the Red Devil lay on the ground with a bloody face and a wounded body, panting heavily.
"Azasser, what's going on?"
Letting the phone in his hand fall to the ground, Citrix screamed.
Pierce heard the voice on the other side and smiled: "By the way, Baron Citreil, I forgot to tell you something, I have a surprise for you." ”
After speaking, he hung up the phone, picked up the red wine in front of him and took a sip.
Citrix couldn't care less about what Pierce said, and he looked in horror at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him from a circle of light.
A strong body, a metal arm with a red five-pointed star sprayed on one shoulder, and scattered hair that looked like a decadent tramp, but those cold and merciless eyes showed a piercing chill.
The muzzle of the gun, which smelled faintly of gunsmoke, was aimed at the red devil on the ground, and the trigger under his finger was pulled by the moment Citrix lost his mind.
Boom~
The Red Devil, who had been hiding in Tibet for decades, ended his miserable life.
Without waiting for Citrix to react too much, the ruthless killer raised his gun again and pulled the trigger.
After confirming that the two were completely dead, a one-person-high hole appeared in the space behind the killer like a whirlpool, and on the opposite side was a ruined wall.

Putting down the scarlet wine glass in his hand, Pierce got up and left the living room and walked towards the study.
Arriving in the study, Pierce pulled back the chair behind the desk and stepped on a floor under the chair a few times.
The bookcase on the wall opened a hidden secret door with the sound of a mechanical turn.
Without hesitation, Pierce walked through the secret door, and after a few seconds, the bookcase closed automatically.
Behind the secret door is actually an elevator, but this elevator is not up, but down.
Pierce built a secret base deep underground in his mansion.
Bite.
"Verified, welcome, Commander."
After verifying the iris, an electronic sound sounded, and the elevator door opened automatically.
It's a huge underground space, the size of two basketball courts, and it's full of high-tech equipment that can't be seen outside.
Dozens of researchers in white coats are shuttling back and forth, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers are patrolling back and forth on the three-meter-high wall with an iron corridor.
As soon as he saw Pierce coming, a man wearing a combat uniform with a tough image walked over.
"Sir, I heard that our virus reservoir has been terminated."
Pierce nodded with a calm face: "Fury bypassed me and directly applied to the World Security Council for a mandatory dissolution order, and I suspect that Fury has begun to have some doubts. ”
"I'm going to kill him."
When the man heard this, his eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura spread to all around.
"It's useless, Brock." Pierce sighed, "From what I know about Fury, he's waiting for us to reach out to him right now, so he can find us without waste." ”
"Then we're just going to let him run wild?" Bullock Road.
Pierce said: "We should be safe for the time being, Fury will never leave us a respite if there is evidence, so we can't do anything now, as long as our plan succeeds, then it will be time for us to rule the world, and a Fury can't make any waves." ”
"Hmph, then let that black egg live a little longer." Brock scolded a little unwillingly.
Pierce patted Bullock on the shoulder and comforted, "Bullock, as long as Project Insight succeeds, we can get rid of Dr. Doom, and at that time, all mutants will obey my orders, and it will be more pleasant for Fury to see the world ruled by us than simply killing him." ”
Bullock's eyes lit up, and then a grim smile appeared.
"Don't laugh, how are you prepared to deal with the genetic virus of those monsters? Is there enough material? ”
Pierce interrupted Bullock's speculation, and his main concern now was whether there was enough genetic virus.
"Although our material library is gone, with the existing materials, the number of viruses is definitely sufficient."
Pierce was overjoyed: "Okay, let's go all out to create a genetic virus, Project Insight has to get done as soon as possible, and I'm going to make that damn guy pay." ”
Brock sneered: "Of course, if you dare to brainwash us, only the blood of that yellow-skinned animal can wash away our shame." ”
The two talked as they walked, and soon came to a room that was strictly guarded by several soldiers.
Walking into the room, several researchers were busy around a rectangular transparent glass enclosure.
In the glass cover, a scepter with a blue gem on the top lay silently.
******
An unassuming-looking office building in New York.
Well-dressed, graceful gentlemen and white-collar workers are busy entering and exiting at the gate.
Charles looked at the familiar building, and the memories that had been immersed in his mind seemed to come back to his eyes.
It was the same back then, and some of the seemingly normal office workers were so busy.
However, those in the past were just acting, and these people in front of them are real office workers, but here is the same as at the beginning, hiding secrets that no one knows.
Charles, Hank, Raven, and two big men pushed open the door and rushed in, ignoring the suspicious gazes around them, and headed straight for the fire staircase.
Walking into the fire staircase, Hank backhanded the door shut, and Raven walked over to the fire hydrant and reached for a hidden corner behind the hydrant.
After fumbling for a while, there was a soft click, and a crack suddenly opened in the other wall, and a faint light came through it.
