Marvel's Mulgore Inn

Chapter 77 Recruiting the Hulk

Kausu's guess was not wrong. The woman who accidentally entered Hell's Kitchen was Betty Ross.

She once had a happy life with a like-minded boyfriend, Bruce Banner. Both worked as scientists and professors at Culver University, but it all went to hell because of her father, Thaddeus Ross.

In response to the 9/11 incident, Secretary of Defense General Ross planned to restart the super soldier serum project, and both Betty and Banner were recruited. In this project, Betty developed a muscle-suppressing drug that can temporarily make an individual's blood cells

Absorbs gamma rays and eliminates malignant brain tumors caused by radiation exposure.

But Banner increased the dose of gamma ray radiation in order to speed up the experiment, which eventually turned him into a big green monster. Betty tried to stop her boyfriend, but was unfortunately injured and hospitalized.

After she recovered, Banner became a wanted criminal, and Betty was forced to separate from her boyfriend under the pressure of her father. Time gradually faded everything, and she planned to start a new life of her own.

Just a few days ago, Leonard Samson, a colleague at Culver University, confessed to Betty that she didn't know whether to accept this new relationship. At a loss, she chose to leave temporarily and returned to New York.

Moved into my father's old house in Harlem.

As an expert in cell biology, Betty has the habit of thinking about problems while walking. On this day, because she thought for too long, she walked from Harlem to Clinton District (Hell's Kitchen) unknowingly. When she was shot

When I woke up, I realized I was lost.

Fortunately, there was a small hotel on the street, and she bravely broke in. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble (revised by book friend Baoju), she sent a text message in the middle of the way, notifying her father to come and pick her up. She waited until the gunfight was over.

, General Ross also happened to drive there and picked up Betty smoothly.

Sitting in a well-equipped bulletproof car, Betty looked out the window with lingering fear and asked: "Dad, why is there such a thing as Hell's Kitchen in a big city like New York?"

General Ross, who had gray hair and a tough personality, was silent for a while. Just when Betty thought her father would not answer, Ross's deep voice suddenly rang out.

"I will not use arguments such as population migration, urbanization tilt or productivity imbalance. You have to understand that in a country where capital is in power, interests are fundamental! If there is no benefit, the government would rather let it fend for itself. Also,

There are some people who are pursuing their own interests under the banner of freedom, and this is one of the main reasons why Hell's Kitchen is out of touch with New York."

Betty was uncomfortable with the naked words, but she knew in her heart that this was the cruel truth.

"Has no one thought about changing?"

"Does it need to change?" General Ross asked rhetorically.

Betty was silent, she lowered her eyelids and said nothing.

"Does it need to change?" The same thinking also occurred in Mulgore Hotel.

Kausi was half lying on the sofa, his eyes seemed dull, but in fact he had been thinking about an important issue.

Judging from the timeline, Betty Ross should be at Culver University at this time, accepting the confession of her colleague Leonard Samson and becoming a couple. In order to search for previous experimental data, Hulk Banner also returned to Culver University

, reunited with Betty again, kicking off the plot climax of "The Incredible Hulk".

"It seems to have nothing to do with me..."

After carefully recalling the original plot, Coius had no intention of getting involved. Not to mention the love-hate relationship between the Hulk, Abomination, and General Ross was really bloody and pale, even if he intervened in the "Mr. Blue" plug

Nothing good could be gained from Muir Stern's research.

But anyway, Betty Ross's appearance in New York indicates that the Hulk is about to appear.

Hulk...

"Welcome!" Kausi was in a daze, Carrie didn't know where to go to have fun, and Erica had to stand up to greet the guests who had just come in.

"A glass of..." The new guest looked at the price list on the wall, "Light beer!"

This new guest is very strange. From the moment Erica brought the beer to him, he has been sitting there with his head down, not even saying a word except for an occasional sip.

Kausu finally made a decision. He withdrew his gaze and planned to notify the company to close the business. Several employees had worked hard for so long and it was time for them to take a vacation...

Ouch, who is this?

A head of messy curly hair, dull and confused eyes, a wrinkled suit and a crimped tie, coupled with sparse stubble and a decadent temperament...

Bruce Banner!

I just decided not to participate in the Hulk plot, so why did this man come to my door?

"Don't worry, I'm just taking advantage of Christmas to see my friends." Seeing the innkeeper staring at him, Banner smiled mockingly and raised his cup towards Kaus, "Now I've seen

I’m here, I’ll leave after finishing this glass of wine, I won’t disturb you!”

Oh? And this part? Kaus was immediately interested.

It turns out that the Hulk is so infatuated sometimes? Even if he is hunted to death, he will sneak back to the United States during Christmas just to see his ex-girlfriend from a distance.

This is so many times better than that scumbag Daredevil!

Among the messy emotional entanglements in Marvel, Banner is a rare breath of fresh air. In the main timeline, except for an affair with a widowed sister with ulterior motives during a period of emotional vacuum, he has always been the spokesman for emotional loyalty.

, Betty Ross is also the only real girlfriend. In the parallel universe, Betty eventually transformed into the female Red Giant, and finally came together with the Hulk. (The female warrior Kayla from Sakaar only appeared in "The Incredible Hulk"

Wire.)

"It's very nice here!" Banner probably hadn't chatted with anyone for a long time. He looked around the dim hotel lobby, "Whether it's the decoration style or anything else, I feel very peaceful here, and I don't have any thoughts of...

.”

I don’t know why, but Kausu said something out of nowhere: “Come and sit more often if you like.”

Banner raised his head in surprise, stared at Kausu's face, and then smiled after a while, "Thank you!"

He put a crumpled banknote under the cup and stood up to leave.

Just when Banner was about to walk out of the hotel door, Causs, who had hesitated for a long time, finally made a decision. He said: "Bruce Banner, you can stay here!"

Banner's eyes quickly turned alert. He turned around and stared at Kausi, "Who are you? Agent? Killer? Or something else..."

His face was a little distorted, with green lines showing on his skin, but Kausu didn't care. He just walked up to him and said politely: "I am Kausu, the owner of Mulgore Hotel."

·Bradford. My hotel is still short of a waiter and security guard, and the salary is $10 an hour. If you agree, you can start working now!"

"As you can see, I have mutants, killers and agents in my hotel, and I don't care about one more big green guy."

"As for why I know you..." Kausu smiled, "It's actually very simple!"

"I am a shaman, you can think of this profession as -"

"prophet!"
