The Collection of The End

——Marvel, 2015——

Tokyo Tower Aquarium.

Asakawa Yu] couldn't move.

"Botu's" men did not tie him up or restrain him in any way, but simply threw him and the "traitor" into the aquarium, as if they already knew that they would be unable to resist once they fell into the water.

that's the truth. Asakawa Yu] He could barely maintain his breathing through the helmet part that embodied the "Michelin mascot", but the other unlucky guy didn't even use any abilities. He kept dancing and vomiting after falling into the water.

Bubble. But the strange thing is that in this situation where he should have drowned long ago according to common sense, he just struggled there for five or six minutes and was still very energetic. If he didn't have some kind of underwater breathing ability, it would be this aquarium. of water

There is something weird in it.

Speaking of which, did "Botu" say before that he would throw the two of them into the aquarium to "feed the elephants"? How can that be...

His thoughts were interrupted by what he saw before him. It was an elephant about three meters tall with a very standard size that could be seen in the zoo. It was strolling leisurely in the water, and then seemed to be very curious when it saw Asakawa Yu] and the traitor.

Come over.

It is "walking" rather than "swimming". Its steps and forward movements are no different from walking on the ground, but the water waves surging around it and the fish that avoid it prove that it is indeed underwater.

After the elephant walked up to the "traitor", it first stretched out its trunk to touch him curiously, and then took a half step back as if frightened by its more crazy dance.

What, although it’s a bit strange for an elephant to be in an aquarium, it’s pretty normal in itself——

Asakawa's thoughts came to an abrupt end here.

He saw that the elephant's two big ears had turned into a pair of huge butterflies at some point, with a yellow background and black edges, mixed with red round spots, opening and closing like real butterfly wings. .

No, no, even if elephants can dive, it's still impossible for their ears to be butterfly wings. After all, butterfly wings will break if they get wet with water, especially if they are so big.

Moreover, butterflies should be able to fly...eh.

The next moment, as if frightened by the "traitor", the elephant fluttered its butterfly ears and "flyed", circling around him while observing carefully.

Seriously, does flying in the water count as flying?

Don't be afraid, the butterfly-eared elephant is just a human with some superpowers. You can crush him with just one kick!

At this time, Asakawa Rain even began to cheer for the strange elephant in his heart.

Phew—swipe!

It seemed like I was really encouraged. After the elephant circled the "traitor" twice, it suddenly swooped close to him and tied him tightly with its long flexible trunk, making it impossible for him to move.

Well……

It wasn't until the "traitor" was tied up that Asakawa Yu] thought belatedly, did "Botu" mean to throw the two of them into the aquarium to "feed the elephants"?

Come on, elephants are vegetarians. If they must be eaten, can they be eaten in a milder form? It’s not a good look to see an elephant chewing a person until they are bloody and bloody.

"——!"

At this moment, with a scream that was not clear because it was blocked by the water, the tied "traitor" stopped struggling wildly, his hands and feet were completely stiff, and at the same time, an extremely frightened expression appeared on his face. When Asakawa Yu] was about to observe his situation carefully, the elephant's butterfly ears began to flap rapidly, and snow-white rabbits kept running out of the ears. Most of them ran away without looking back. Only

A few will turn around and look at the elephant and its prey with their blue eyes.

Ah...uh...

Speaking of which, did the seniors of "Hydra" say that he should struggle as much as possible when "stripping off the substitute"? But how to struggle? Trying to pretend to be transparent?

Maybe after a few hours, or maybe just a few minutes, the elephant finally finished "eating" and let go of the "traitor".

He still looked alive, but his limbs were stiff and he only trembled occasionally. At the same time, he kept a frozen expression of shock on his face and drifted in the aquarium.

Asakawa Rain, who had just finished dressing up as a "stand-in" at the right time, didn't have time to rejoice when he saw the butterfly-eared elephant walking straight towards him.

Isn’t this completely useless!

Humph, forget it, let him see what it is that scares that guy like this.

When the elephant's long trunk rolled over, he thought to himself.

————

After being entangled in the elephant's trunk, Asakawa Yu] could no longer sense his own body. Instead, there was some kind of "fixed perspective" like surveillance. Within sight is the deck of a luxury cruise ship. Several luxuriously dressed tourists are tied to one side of the deck railing that is still intact, while the other side is full of water damage, and the railings are also widely broken, close to the deck.

At the edge, there were two or three small pools of blood that were not very obvious.

What's so scary about this?

If it weren't for the fact that the "viewing angle" couldn't be adjusted, Asakawa Yu] even had the intention of turning his head and looking around. More than ten seconds later, a group of masked people wearing red ninja uniforms stepped into the screen from outside the "monitoring" field of view. They completely ignored the kidnapped people who suddenly became excited and started calling for help, and began to clean the deck with the cleaning tools they carried.

Repair railings.

Isn't that the "original" thug from the Hand? They were not on an assassination mission but... cleaning?

Keeping the ship clean is more important than rescuing the dignitaries over there - presumably?

In fact, it was indeed more important. These "immortal ninjas" cleaned the deck, repaired the railings, and quickly evacuated. During this period, no one paid attention to the noisy unfortunates.

Although it is strange, there is nothing terrible about this incident itself, and it is even less likely that people will become "traitors".

Maybe this is some kind of psychological fear? Only those who know the cause and effect will be scared crazy?

Asakawa Yu] was guessing aimlessly, but found that the "perspective" that had been uncontrollable before began to slowly rotate, focusing on the sky beyond the railing, slightly higher.

So, is there something strange about the invisible monster watching here? Even so——

Bang bang bang! Boom, boom, boom!

With a dull knocking sound, the "thing" that the camera was "looking at" suddenly appeared in mid-air.

It was an aquarium waterproof wall suspended at a height of about three meters.

It can be clearly seen through its glass curtain wall that a dozen children are noisily banging on the shaking waterproof wall "opposite", completely ignoring the spider web-like cracks that have begun to appear on it.

What's so scary about this? It's just a hallucination, he——

Wow——!

The waterproof wall suddenly shattered, and everything on the side of the curtain wall rushed toward the huge hole that appeared like water.

"——!"

He fainted when he sensed some sudden and unreasonable intense fear.

————

Wow——!

"Hey, wake up, kid." Van Helsing shook Asakawa Yu who he had just broken out of the aquarium and rescued. Seeing that he still didn't respond, he put him down casually, turned around, and faced the crowd who hesitated and didn't dare to come forward. The "Hand Club" thug showed off the silver between his fingers

Gray Claw: "You guys, come together."
