The Death Knell

Luxurious, as the daily residence of the president of Stark Industries, the suite at the top of the building gives people the first impression of luxury.

Everything, whether it is furniture or electrical appliances, is either a high-tech product made by the machine head itself, or it is the most expensive luxury product in the world. Just a blanket spread on the sofa is the handiwork of a master. , asking price three hundred thousand dollars.

Although it looks no different from an ordinary wool blanket, it is expensive. To the owner of this room, expensive means good.

Only choose expensive ones and don’t buy the right ones. This is the distorted values ​​​​of a certain rich person.

When Anton ‘Nieto’ Stark had not yet become Machine Head, he was the largest arms dealer in the United States, and he had a lot of money.

His parents died when he was young, and his genius in scientific research gradually developed a wanton and irresponsible character.

On a trip to Africa to sell weapons, he was bombed by a self-produced artillery shell, causing 80% burns to his skin, and some shrapnel even entered his heart.

After being miraculously rescued, he seemed to be a changed person. Not only did he withdraw from the military industry, he also invented the "Small Boat" reactor to absorb the shrapnel, and became a superhero Machine Head, and later joined the Counterattack Alliance.

But multi-dimensional captain Kroll always felt that Nito had some mental problems. He was very worried about his disfigurement and wore his suit almost 24 hours a day, even in front of his friends. Will reveal his true face.

Whenever he meets a handsome guy, Steelhead will have a weird attitude and speak strangely, as if he is jealous.

But if you ask him what's wrong, he will immediately become calm and make other jokes.

How arrogant he is in terms of scientific research and combat, but how inferior he is in terms of appearance and height. The whole person is very contradictory. He doesn't feel like a superhero, but more like a naughty kid playing hero.

There are many times when his new inventions have led to disasters, and there is no scientist on earth who is more capable of causing disasters than he is.

Kroll came here this time to talk to Nito about the Incarnation of Justice. Without the knowledge of anyone else in the Counterattack Alliance, he actually passed by and contacted President Superman, which made many people confused. So happy.

This is not to say that the incarnation of justice is not good. When it comes to safeguarding justice, everyone has the same position.

But, the concept of action of the Counterattackers is a little different from that of the Justice League.

The Justice League likes to capture villains alive, and then find a place to lock them up for education and reform. They don't kill people when they can.

Superman always treats himself like a punching bag to his enemies and asks them with a smile on his face:

"Are you tired of the beating? If so, how about we sit down and talk? As long as we communicate more, many things don't need to be solved through violence."

But the Counterattack Alliance thinks this is too weak and has no self-esteem. When someone hits you, do you still care about whether the other person's fist is injured?

The style of one's own family is what upholds justice with dignity.

Just the opposite of Zheng Lian, when they find the bad guy, they will fight to death. They will kill as many as they can. Even if they are occasionally merciful, it is because there are too many pedestrians nearby watching or recording with their mobile phones, making it inconvenient to finish the kill. That’s all.

The gap between the counterattackers and the Zhenglian is a dispute over the concept of killing or not killing. Because of this, they chose to be alone when they should have united with other heroes in the parallel world.

President Superman has approached the American Soldiers many times, trying to get the Counterattackers to join the Incarnation of Justice, but the Soldiers declined them all.

Of course, if any multiverse crisis strikes and their help is needed, the counterattackers are also quite enthusiastic. After all, they are all superheroes.

Let’s go back to the suite in front of us.

The Counterattack Alliance usually holds parties here. After all, there is good wine here, so Captain Diversity is also familiar with this suite. He walked in the door without any nonsense and headed towards the master bedroom.

She was mentally prepared. Even if she entered the bedroom and saw Nito wearing a battle suit and lying with a group of beauties, she wouldn't be surprised. Although he was disfigured, there were many beauties willing to get close to him as long as they were willing to spend money.

"I'm coming in. Machine Head, please put on your suit. I don't want to throw up early in the morning."

Kroll has a rather aggressive personality and may be shy about what others say, but she is strong enough and has no worries. She always picks out things that others don't want to hear and takes pleasure in doing so.

If it was normal, Nito would have started to curse after hearing her words.

But today I don’t know why, the bedroom was very quiet, like

Captain Duan Duan, who sensed something was wrong, kicked open the door. The scene in front of her made her pupils tremble and she fell into a daze for a moment.

There was only a mess left in the beautiful bedroom. Several corpses were lying on the sloping and collapsed bed. These naked beauties had their necks broken, and their dim eyes were staring at the ceiling quietly.

In the middle of the pile of corpses, there was a figure wearing a metal suit. At this time, the suit was full of cracks as if it had been hit hard by an external force, and the small boat reactor on the chest had long been extinguished.

The man's head tilted weakly to one side, and the severely burned body was almost completely carbonized. It was unknown whether it was due to a leakage of electricity in the suit or what method the murderer used. Poor Nito was now transformed into a humanoid charcoal in the suit.

Although Kroll usually quarreled with him, we were all comrades in arms. Seeing his tragic death, after a moment of shock, he fell into endless anger.

She walked to the big bed, gritted her teeth and examined the body. Looking at the ugly carbonized face and the smell of barbecue entering her nostrils, she restrained herself from spitting it out again and again.

We must find out who killed Machine Head and avenge our teammates!

At this moment, she suddenly noticed a clue, which was hidden under the palm of the suit.

After removing the metal palm, you can see a line of burned small words mixed with blood on the bed sheet. It is a strange phrase, or a code name.

Death knell.

After seeing the 'death message' left by the machine head, Kroll, who had no detective talent at all, understood what was going on. This was a key clue that appeared in countless film and television works. It was the person who was seriously injured before his teammates died. My body, my last words to everyone!

"But is there a person named Deathstroke on our earth?" The woman named Captain of the Multiverse, who almost never travels to the multiverse, fell into thought, and then suddenly became excited: "I always feel that this is a coined word. Look like, why, machine head? Why do you have to leave a riddle before you die?!"

However, the charred corpse would not answer. Even when she shook its shoulders excitedly, the crispy neck broke, causing the head to fall off.
