The Death Knell

"Drive, Clint."

Seeing Duck getting into the car obediently and sitting next to him, Lu Dan raised the window glass and asked the driver, Eagle Eye, to drive around the city a few times as planned.

People can't see Howard the Duck entering or leaving SHIELD or having contact with him. The next thing Luo Dan will set up is a special department, at least on the surface it has nothing to do with SHIELD.

The car started moving, but the bustling street did not affect the silence in the car. After saying those words, Fury had been leaning on the back of the chair expressionlessly, exerting invisible psychological pressure in his silence.

But Weird Duck is famous for his strong psychological endurance, and as a detective, he has strong logical reasoning ability. Since this black man bailed himself out, he must have something to ask for, and he wants to obtain the bargaining power through pressure. Advantage: You can see through this trick at a glance.

People were coming and going outside the train window. Dusk was approaching and it was time to get off work. I saw people swarming at the entrance of the subway station like ants entering and leaving their nests. For a moment, the strange duck felt very complicated.

He shouldn't actually be here.

Not long ago, he was rescued from the cell of the Successors by Deathstroke, and he was originally going to return to that parallel world with Peter Parker of 616.

But the strange duck discovered that something was wrong. Something was wrong with Spider-Man, and his eyes revealed a crazy look as if he wanted to dissect the duck and study it.

So Howard jumped off the car during the spider web trip and escaped from the thread after quarreling with Parker in full view of the public, but in fact he followed Deathstroke to this parallel world.

As a high-dimensional creature, the little magic he mastered helped him. Sometimes even a fire spell that could only be used to light a cigar would be of great use in the hands of a smart person.

In addition, he has feathers and is very light. As long as he flaps his arms as hard as he can, he can glide in the air for a while, which is enough for him to change his line.

After coming to Earth 40K, he had no house, no girlfriend, and no girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. He was a little lost in the direction of life.

But as a living thing, survival is the instinct, and after all, you still have to rush to fill your belly.

Because he is a duck, he does not have any documents and cannot find a serious job, but he can go to nightclubs to sell drinks and make money.

He is very eloquent and can talk well. People have never seen a talking duck, so he really does a good job in sales.

Wine has always been a profit-making industry. Is there any essential difference between wine worth tens of thousands of dollars and wine worth a few dollars? Actually no, the ingredients are just alcohol and water.

In addition, the lights in the nightclub are dim, and he specifically targets people who drink until their tongues are big. These people can't taste the difference between the wine that costs 40 yuan for two bottles and the real thing that costs 500 yuan for a bottle. Pay attention. All the strength lies in the joke told by the duck.

The sales industry is very difficult, but when it comes to selling fake wine, Wei Ya has mastered it.

Soon, Weird Duck had saved enough money in several nightclubs in Hell's Kitchen. He found a black agent and rented himself a small suite in an old building in Queens, where housing prices were relatively cheap but the traffic was high, and he opened a detective agency. , and at the same time bought a 18-hand shabby car and started a black taxi in New York City.

It can be regarded as returning to his old career. He is not as capable as Jessica Jones. The detective business is not something that a foreigner can quickly pick up. It takes a while to get familiar with it. There is a big difference between 40K Earth and 616 Earth.

When there is no detective commission, he relies on running illegal cars to make a living.

Then, within a few weeks, he was arrested no less than twenty times by the Queens Police Department, each time because of identification issues, making both him and Chief Stacey adults.

But fortunately, he had 'pure white' feathers, so the police's attitude towards law enforcement was quite good, and they did not encounter the law enforcement procedures that black people are familiar with.

‘NYPD! get off! People of color? ! Police officer in danger! Bang bang bang! ’

Well, at this point, there is really no difference between 40K Earth and 616 Earth.

Nick Fury watched the strange duck get into the car and kept wandering. He knew that he could not go on like this and he had to speak first.

"Mr. Duck, do you know why I came to you?"

Fury, who was still wearing a black fur coat in summer, put his hands on his knees and looked sharply at the white-haired duck with one eye.

Howard, who was awakened from his memories, took off his hat and sighed: "I did guess it, maybe because of my origins, right?"

"You are very smart, and I appreciate your actions after arriving on our earth." Fury calmly threw out a tablet, which played the evidence of Wei Ya's crime of selling fake wine: "Maybe smart people know what kind of Choice is the best, what do you think?”

"Tsk, no wonder I always feel like I'm being watched. I thought it was someone sent by Deathstroke, but it turned out to be someone from SHIELD?" The duck had no teeth, but Howard also felt a pain in his mouth.

When Howard heard the name Nick Fury, he knew it was SHIELD. Although he didn't understand why Fury here was a black man, he was obviously also an old scumbag.

Lu Dan frowned, tapped the screen with his hand, and paused the video playback: "Did you just say Deathstroke? Do you know him?"

"How else do you think I got here? Fate made me fall into a series of big pits." The strange duck dug into his pocket and took out cigarettes and lighters: "Since you have the reason to send me to prison, Just tell me what you want me to do, and if nothing happens, send me home, the bench in the police station will destroy my spine."

There was nothing wrong with his words, but Frick was a human being, and he immediately heard that there was no close connection between this duck and Deathstroke.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the strange duck not to know what the death knell means on this earth.

Originally, he was worried that if he found Deathstroke, things might not end well, but now he has no worries.

Still wearing a black poker face, Fury's thoughts were fleeting, but his face did not show any trace of it. He still looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hand: "I have been busy investigating the parallel universe recently, and I am working on the Avengers." With help, I found a way to travel to and from the parallel world."

In fact, this is not entirely the case, but the Avengers seized a set of AIM equipment, and now they were tricked into getting it.

But the result is similar.

"Oh, congratulations! Congratulations, you will die in a more inexplicable way in the future." Duck blinked, lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke and said: "The multiverse is not a toy. You can't even imagine many of the dangers in it. , you have opened Pandora’s box.”

"It was Deathstroke who opened it first. If it weren't for his series of actions, I might not have noticed the threat of the parallel world."

Fury crossed his arms, and the muscles at the corners of his dark face twitched a few times. He didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or curse:

"But you are right about one thing. Parallel universes will bring danger. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., a subsidiary of the United Nations Security Council, I have the responsibility and obligation to take all means to ensure the safety of the earth."
