Marvel's strongest warden
109, poor Eddie [thanks to Yunchen Sihai's
Eddie walked on the road in a daze, bought a red sausage with his last change, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it hard.
"What on earth should I do?"
His mind was filled with questions. Eddie was not a fool. He knew that his editor-in-chief was not lying. Through the editor-in-chief's network, he could really lose his job in New York.
He has no way out.
At this time, Eddie realized that he had nothing to miss in New York. He plucked up the courage to find a public phone booth and made a call.
To be honest, famous reporters like Eddie are actually quite popular. If he hadn't offended the editor this time, he wouldn't be desperate in this huge New York.
So he took out a business card and called the TV station in San Francisco. He needed to find a job there, otherwise, he was afraid he would starve to death here.
After talking on the phone for a while, Eddie finally felt relieved. It was obvious that he got the answer he wanted on the phone.
After sighing a little, he came out of the phone booth.
He took out his credit card from his trouser pocket...wait, where is the credit card?
At just such a moment, Eddie felt the sweat on his head falling. He really didn't expect that things would become so bad.
His credit card was stolen unknowingly, and he knew nothing about it.
"Is there a thief?"
When he discovered it belatedly, he no longer had the mood to call the police. He never thought that he would be so unlucky.
Just after he came out of the police station, he discovered something even more troublesome.
Several gang members dropped out of his sight and followed him unhurriedly. Seeing what he was trying to do, Eddie suddenly understood.
It seemed that the people he was investigating were not willing to let him go so simply, and they planned to get rid of him once and for all.
Eddie looked around in a panic.
He was already far away from the police station. After glancing at his watch, Eddie realized that he still had four hours.
It will be dark in four hours, and after dark, he will be alone and helpless.
This is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that he has no money, which is undoubtedly a death sentence for him.
Even accommodation became a problem for him.
Maybe tonight, he will become an unknown corpse in the Hudson River.
He involuntarily speeded up his pace, but as his pace quickened, the people behind him also speeded up their pace. In a panic, he walked for half an hour without leaving these people behind.
For him, this is not good news.
He felt that his vision was dark, and he didn't even see a patrolman on the road. Because of this, he knew that he might really die here.
Of course he knew what it meant to not see a patrol car on the road for half an hour. It meant that this was not a wealthy area and the security here was not as good as he knew.
When he saw the graffiti on the wall and the sweet smell in the air that penetrated his nose, he was completely desperate.
This is a slum area with poor security.
There would be no patrol police here, not to mention that the people behind them obviously knew this place. They speeded up unscrupulously, and some even reached for weapons in their arms.
Eddie gritted his teeth and planned to turn around and fight to the death. But what he didn't expect was that before he turned around, he saw a spirited old man rushing out of the store in front of him. He was holding a shotgun in his hand and pointed it at the back.
The pursuer said loudly: "Get out of here, you bastards, this is not a place for you to get involved.
This is the territory of the great Lord of Life, now, all of you, get out of here!"
Eddie was also startled by the sudden appearance of this old man. The two gang members behind him were also a little confused. To be honest, he didn't know what this so-called Lord of Life was.
And as the old man stood up, someone also came out of the store, holding a gun and pointing it at them.
"Get out of here!"
The rest of the people also said harshly.
Those two gang members were not professional killers, they just worked for money. Now when they encountered this situation, they didn't expect it at all. They looked at each other and ran away!
Eddie was frightened when he saw this situation. He never expected to see such a situation here. The gang members behind it were not good people.
But the people in front of me who were grabbing and robbing didn't look like good people.
Eddie turned around quietly and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the first person to come out.
"Friend, don't leave yet. The brilliance of the Lord of Life is flowing on every inch of the land. We can discuss the brilliance of the Lord."
Eddie knew that things were getting more difficult. Of course he knew what he was encountering.
The Lord of Life, the Lord of Fog, the Lord of Trees, etc., which have become famous in New York recently, do not have a unified name for their religious beliefs.
Of course Eddie knows this.
This is a new belief that has emerged recently. Eddie once wanted to go deep into these beliefs to get news, but later he discovered that he was still too naive, and these believers had no rules at all.
They don't even have a statue of a god to believe in.
Some people pray to the trees in their gardens, and some people worship to the trees in the green belt.
They formed a spontaneous organization, which was disorganized and without a program.
Later, Eddie stopped investigating these things. He never thought that he would see believers of the Lord of Life here again.
Of course, sometimes they don't call themselves the Lord of Life, they call themselves the King of Trees, a mess, but he didn't expect that he would see these people today, and it seems that these people are planning to preach to him?
This is not good news.
He swallowed and said with a smile on his face: "There is something easy to say, there is something easy to say, don't be nervous."
He felt that he had just stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den. These people did not look like a group of normal people, but he had no other choice now, so he had to follow them to the store. When he saw the old man put his weapon
Collected.
"Hahaha, young man, are you scared? Come here and I'll buy you a drink!"
The old man said to Eddie cheerfully: "Don't be nervous, we are not bad people, on the contrary, we are truly good people.
Those bastards behind you looked like they were going to sink you into the river. These people are not good people. I helped you scare them away, so you don’t need to thank me."
Eddie grinned and expressed his gratitude with a smile that was uglier than crying, and then received a heavy slap on his shoulder.
"Young man, believe in the Lord of our lives. We are happy to help lost young men like you. Don't worry, we are a mutual aid association.
As long as you believe in our gods, then we are a family. If you have any difficulties, we will help you. You see, it is just like us helping you. We must be kind and like to help others.
Isn’t that human?”
Eddie glanced at the big man standing outside and blocking the door, and said with a wry smile: "Well, let me take the liberty of asking, what is your doctrine?"
