Marvel's Chronicles of Multiverse Warfare

Chapter 272 Sphinx Stone Sculpture (Today

There was a soft sound of "tick", and a pair of withered figures of sphinxes appeared above the wooden table in the attic.

Li Heng walked over from behind with a cold drink in his hand. Looking at the pair of stone sphinxes in front of him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"The Sphinx statue, a male and female Sphinx stone statue, is really rare."

Li Heng waved his hand, and the sphinx statue quickly retreated and shrunk, and the entire photo was completely and clearly displayed.

A wealthy man wearing a black suit and black-rimmed glasses handed the box containing a pair of stone sphinx statues of a man and a woman to the curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in front of countless people.

The surrounding media happened to take pictures of all this, and the time happened to be yesterday.

That rich man is none other than the famous philanthropist, Edward Cole, chairman of the Cole Group.

When Li Heng saw him, he couldn't help but sneer immediately: "Who would have thought that the famous philanthropist in New York, even Edward Cole, who sponsors the New York Police Department Disabled Officers Mutual Aid Association every year, would secretly carry out population

and antique smuggling.”

The scene before us could not be more obvious. Edward Cole obtained a pair of stone statues from somewhere and donated them to the Grand Exposition Museum in New York.

It is precisely because of this pair of sphinx statues that brought about this crisis.

Sphinx, a winged sphinx monster in Egyptian and Greek mythology.

In Greece, he was conquered by the goddess Athena; in Egypt, the Egyptian Pharaoh built a huge stone statue in the pyramid in the image of the Sphinx.

There is nothing strange about stone statues, and there is nothing strange about male sphinx stone statues, because in mythology, most sphinxes are male, and only a few are female.

The female sphinx stone statue may be the source of this crisis.

"Bullshit, I spent 380,000 pounds to buy a stone statue from the countryside of England and then donated it to the Metropolitan Museum. Only those in the museum would believe such nonsense." Li Heng sneered disdainfully.

In fact, everyone knew what was going on, but they were all pretending to be stupid.

Edward Cole made up a story that 15 years ago, a homeowner in England spent $407 to buy a pair of sphinxes to decorate their garden. It just so happened that the pair of sphinxes were not only

They are garden decorations, and their true identities are Egyptian artifacts from 5,000 years ago.

So at an auction not long ago, Edward Cole bought the statue for 385,000 pounds and donated it to the Metropolitan Museum.

Anyway, there was a series of formal procedures. Although the Metropolitan Museum was well aware of what Cole had done, it pretended not to see the truth behind the scenes and directly added the pair of statues.

After all, a pair of stone sphinx statues of a man and a woman are very rare and valuable, and are of great significance to the study of the history of ancient Egypt. But I am afraid they never imagined that there is something hidden behind this pair of stone statues.

A deadly demon king.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of the five largest museums in the world, together with the Louvre in France, the British Museum in the UK, the Hermitage Museum in Russia, and the Forbidden City in Beijing.

In the entire United States, the only museum that can rival the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is the Smithsonian Museum in Washington.

It's just that the museum is semi-official and semi-private, and there are too many unspeakable gray things in it.

Relatively speaking, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is more formal and requires stricter procedures.

But it's just a comparison. With the strength of those truly wealthy people, they can easily clean up the dirt they got secretly.

Li Heng wondered why Edward Cole donated such a pair of stone statues to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

You should know that such a pair of stone statues, although they have great historical research value, do not sell for a high price in the market.

Even Edward Cole only got a transaction price of 385,000 pounds in the end. Even if there were some tax credits, it was nothing to mention for a rich man like him.

"Unless the disaster moves eastward." Li Heng touched his chin and made his own guess.

Perhaps those people in the dark have tried to take back these statues more than once, but unfortunately they were blocked by Edward Cole's men.

Judging from Li Heng's personal experience, although the souls controlled by those in the dark are not very strong, once the magic circle is set up and under double attack, no matter how many gunmen there are, they will all die in the end.

Even ordinary superheroes can't beat them, and only these Howling Commando monsters are more resistant to beatings.

It was precisely because of this that Edward Cole donated the pair of stone statues to the Metropolitan Museum.

After all, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is the number one museum in the entire United States and one of the five major museums in the world. The guards overtly and covertly are so terrifying that even if extraordinary powers intervene, they may not be able to take things away from it.

.

According to rumors, there is a Knight of the Round Table stationed at the British Museum in England all year round.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which has the same status, will naturally have strong people to protect it. Not only that, but with their relationship in the political and business circles, it is normal to obtain some special firearms use licenses.

Coupled with the hiring of batch after batch of top elite gunmen, it will be difficult for outsiders to do whatever they want to do.

"What happened yesterday!" Li Heng couldn't help but shook his head, maybe someone secretly fell into Edward Cole's scheme accidentally.

He thought Edward Cole would use the subway to move the stone statue, so he attacked the subway for no reason, but unfortunately, he accidentally hit the subway.

Li Heng quickly guessed the general situation of what happened, and the unification of time was enough to explain all the problems.

No matter what, the thing has entered the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. No matter what the black hand wants to do, attacking the Metropolitan Museum and Manhattan is inevitable. At that time, civilians were accidentally injured, and no one would care.

Li Heng didn't care either. His family and friends had received his warning and would stay at home for a while. As for outsiders, even if Li Heng was a policeman, he couldn't control everything.

What's more, there's SHIELD and the Howling Commandos involved in this matter.

Not to mention that the Avengers haven't shown up yet. If a fight breaks out, it's hard to tell what the situation will be.

But no matter what, since the Howling Commandos are involved in this, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to end.

The group of people in the dark must have been targeting the Howling Commandos, and with Hydra secretly behind the scenes, who knows what might happen.

It is precisely because of this that Li Heng is determined not to go to the Pine Forest Base.

The place itself was a whirlpool of right and wrong, a group of monsters, and Li Heng was very keenly aware that Dr. Corey, whom he had never met, did not have such a good attitude towards him or his perception of him.

Dr. Corey, the man hiding behind the Howling Commandos, Li Heng has a feeling that he is the real person in charge of the Howling Commandos.

Don't forget that Dam Dugan claims to be the commander of the Howling Commandos. The werewolf Captain Reiner also has a vague desire to control the entire team. There are Maria Hill and Sitwell outside the conference room, running the entire Howling Commandos.

, it’s actually Dr. Corey.

"Sir, a plane has taken off from the pine forest base." The voice of the intelligent system X51 suddenly sounded, and immediately after, the shadow of a Quinjet flying at a high speed in the west appeared on the light energy screen: "According to the air traffic control

Information, this plane is en route to San Francisco."
