The Death Knell

The girl captured by Deathstroke suddenly didn't look like a spellcaster.

She is 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black bulletproof vest under a brown windbreaker, which is full of grenades and various magazines. She carries two Wilson 47 assault rifles crossed behind her, and her long red hair is tied into a high ponytail, softly Sweeping back and forth across the butt of the gun.

In addition, there were two pistols in the holsters on her thighs, a machete on the back of her waist, and a shark-tooth dagger stuck next to her combat boots.

The early morning sun shone on her body, as if giving her a faint white edge, which looked very heroic.

But the most eye-catching thing is the red gem hanging on her chest.

The ruby ​​was in the shape of a flat flying saucer, about the same size as the vinegar saucer on the table. It was wrapped in a gold necklace base, like a red version of the 'Eye of Agamotto'.

She is Elsa Bloodstone.

She is the daughter of Deathstroke's old friend Ulysses Bloodstone. During the operation in the wilderness, Su Ming took the little girl from him as a condition of trade and trained her.

Originally, she was supposed to become a monster hunter like her father, wandering around the world looking for mysterious creatures like vampires or werewolves to kill, and living a life of collecting materials and selling them for money.

But Elsa on Earth 40K was changed by the death knell. She joined Karma Taj and learned real magic instead of the little tricks passed down from her family.

The red stone she is wearing now is the one that her father had on his chest during his lifetime. This special biological crystal strengthens her physical fitness and magical affinity every moment, making her easily become a qualified mercenary.

Since Ulysses died and her mother went crazy and disappeared, Elsa couldn't afford a house in New York and felt that renting a house was a waste of money, so she had been living in Karma Taj's dormitory since graduation.

"I...just came out to find food." Elsa showed a black question mark expression, and she crossed the high threshold and walked in: "Master, did you eat stinky tofu in the morning? This is also the case here. It stinks."

The Supreme Mage is so strange today. Why is he smiling so brightly?

"Hamil, go buy some more buns when you return the basket." Su Ming pointed to the opposite side of the table and wiped the table casually: "Elsa, come sit here and follow me after dinner. I'll pay for it. You do something.”

"Forget it about the commission, Master, after all..." Elsa smiled and sat over, putting the two spears aside and waving her hands repeatedly.

Su Ming interrupted her and pushed her a pack of crispy noodles for her to nibble on first. He took out a cigarette and lit it: "One code equals one code. When you are a mercenary, you have to do things according to the gameplay. Favors can be exchanged. No money for food.”

"I understand, thank you, Master." Elsa took the noodles and squeezed them in her hands, watching the yellow and black raccoon on the packaging bag twisting with the force of the kneading: "What exactly do you need me to do?"

"Let's talk about it together when Carol arrives. Our destination is the United States. I believe our opponents will also attack there." Deathstroke blew out smoke and asked her to be calm. The intelligence on the spider web is still being compiled. , it takes a little time.

.............................

"You said the body disappeared? Evaporated? Disappeared into thin air?"

In the underground laboratory of Stark Tower, Tony glared at Vision with an irritated look. He stretched out his little finger to show it to the robot, then put his little finger into his ear and buckled it hard:

"Maybe I didn't hear clearly, or I didn't learn English well. Tell me again! The alien corpse I sent back suddenly disappeared under the surveillance of you and Jarvis?"

"Yes."

The red-faced Vision floated in mid-air, looking at Tony expressionlessly. There was no hint of guilt in his eyes that were just like a human being.

Tony took a deep breath and took several steps back and forth. The fluorescent lamp crushed his shadow into a pitch black mess.

"Jarvis? Where's your security tape?"

Iron Man asked his AI butler again. After all, Vision was sent by Fury, and he evolved from Ultron's split robot, which is not so reliable.

"It's exactly like what Mr. Vision said. I didn't notice anything unusual, and no one sneaked into the cold storage." Jarvis not only answered in the affirmative, but also projected a security video.

The little spider yawning on the side rubbed his eyes, watched the video with red eyes, and then shook his head vigorously:

"No, Mr. Stark, I have to go to school."

"What school should you go to? Life without skipping classes is incomplete. If you want to be a superhero, you have to get used to asking for leave." Tony hooked Peter's shoulders and had no intention of letting go: "Jarvis, you Send a message to Peter's principal and tell him that this kid is interning at Stark Industries."

"Oh, okay. But most of the night passed just after we came back to wait for the news of the death knell. At the same time, under our noses, the body of the female alien disappeared. Do you think it could be... Haunted?”

The more Peter talked, the more it seemed like it, and he began to scare himself, clutching the mask in his hand tightly, and the poor hood was rubbed like a rag.

There is a scene like this in many horror movies. The protagonist is looking at where the body is, and suddenly a sound comes from somewhere else to attract attention. When he looks back, the body is gone.

This is a common routine in ghost movies.

While the backstory of aliens turning into ghosts is a bit confusing, who says aliens can't have ghosts?

Tony held the wine glass in his free hand and squinted at the video. It was a security camera placed in the cold storage, filming the corpse.

It was normal at first. The suit carried the body back and placed it on a table. Preserving the body is a technical job. It must prevent corruption and not freeze completely. It is definitely not possible to throw it directly into the freezer like Peter did. , not conducive to dissection at all.

The time in the video passed for a short while, and then Vision went into the cold storage to dissect the body, did some research, and then left quickly.

Fast forward again, and here comes the weird part. In the previous frame, the stitched corpse was still lying there quietly, but in the next frame, the corpse suddenly disappeared.

There was no light or shadow, no suspicious person, not even the cold storage door was opened, the body simply disappeared.

Tony looked back and forth several times without giving up, asking Jarvis to slow down the picture two hundred times, but the result was still the same, and he couldn't see anything wrong.

"It can't be a ghost. My building has been checked by an expert in Feng Shui. It's very clean." Tony drank the strong drink in his hand, then walked aside and poured half a cup: "There must be some phenomenon that can be explained by science. It happened, is it quantum instability? Or is it some kind of teleportation technology?"

"Sir, do you need to answer Director Fury's call?" Jarvis suddenly reminded him.

"Don't answer, tell him I'm busy, and he teased me before, and I'm very angry." Tony waved his little hand willfully, sternly refusing.

Jarvis was silent for a moment, presumably communicating with Lu Dan, and then said: "Sir, Mr. Fury said that the matter is urgent and he needs your help, otherwise the earth will be in crisis."

"Tch! All the bullshit in the agent's mouth..." Tony bared his teeth in confusion, and then stamped his foot: "I know that good people will definitely be taken advantage of by some shameless people. Remember, Peter, Agents are all shameless, so have less contact with them in the future, otherwise you will be worse off than me."

"But you live at No. 1 Malibu Beach, Mr. Stark, and I live at my aunt's house in Queens." Peter's eyes turned into dead fish shapes.

"Oh, it's okay." Tony showed an apologetic smile, feeling much happier: "Come in, Jarvis, let me hear what Black Coal Head plans to beg me for."

But instead of waiting for the director's apology, he was shocked by the news and lost his smile. Fury's first words after the call was connected were:

"Tony, a mutual friend of ours has been killed. I need you to come over and take a look. Don't tell anyone except Ultron and Spider-Man. I'm waiting for you at this coordinate."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and hurriedly acted like a thief.

Iron Man finished the drink in his glass, put the empty glass on the workbench, and cursed through gritted teeth: "This black guy is spying on me again, Majafak! Alas...Jarvis, give it to me." MK27, Spider-Man and I will go over there and take a look, and we’ll be back soon. We’re not going to help Fury, do you understand?”

Needless to say, an orange and dark blue armor that looked like a pirated version of Deathstroke flew into the laboratory from a special passage and opened its inner chamber in front of Mustache.

The MK27 'Disco' is also Tony's latest scientific research masterpiece - the anti-Deathstroke Armor!

In addition to the regular functions, it is also equipped with functions such as automatic injection of tranquilizers, automatic laughter at bad jokes, fully automatic dancing, etc.
