The Death Knell

Raising his head to look at the snowflakes and moonlight leaking from the roof, Su Ming shook his head at the devastated city. The damage here was much worse than in New York because it was dealt with later.

Without a wall facing the street, the fire and smoke outside can be seen directly from the small bar, and many corpses in miserable conditions are also mixed in the ruins.

The raid took place at midnight, when many people were already asleep at home. When the attack hit, they didn't even have time to react before being hit by bombs or flamethrowers.

Ignoring some women around him who dared not move, he had finished talking to her. As long as she acted as agreed, Su Ming could naturally let her live a few more years.

Lotus's ability to act independently is not strong. Like most Japanese women, she likes to obey the orders of the strong. This is a tradition engraved in the bones and cannot be changed.

Compared with the tyrannical Du Zun, Blood Earl and others, Lotus's past role was to be an insurance against Captain America.

Steve's mind is full of righteousness and his willpower is top-notch, so he doesn't use mind control skills.

But often the people who act with him are not good enough. If the Super Axis is targeted by Captain America, often when it cannot be defeated, Lotus will control Captain America's teammates and let these controlled people pester Captain America while they wait. People run away.

Once they have to deal with one of their own, Captain America is always tied up and cannot be ruthless.

There are many superheroes who have been hypnotized by Madame Lotus. During World War II, all members of the Howling Commandos, Namor and Hammond of the Invasion Team, and even Bucky were also hypnotized.

The person who is tricked will fall madly in love with Lotus, and feel that the other person also loves them, and then they will do some behaviors that are desperate for love, such as dragging Captain America to die together.

Bucky was okay and still had Steve in his heart, but he was finally woken up by Captain America's friendly punch.

But like what happened to Fury, it was simply a dark history. He was once controlled and loved Lotus to death. If Dugan hadn't noticed it early enough, the entire Howling Commando team might have gone to heaven at that time.

With a heart as dark as his skin, how could he think he could love others? There is really no self-awareness at all. Young Fury is still far from good enough.

After all, it is still hormonal interference. In a few years, Dugan himself will fall in love with a French woman, an elegant widow named 'Baroness Otto'. By then he will know how powerful Hydra's female spies are. .

Su Ming turned over from the bar and found a radio that was still in good condition. After twisting a few buttons, he listened for a while with the clicking noise.

Then, without saying anything else, he left here and headed straight for Zemo's position.

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

The army in Los Angeles has been wiped out by Magneto. The order of his actions is different from that of Su Ming, who found Zemo in Hollywood visiting the studio alone.

For some reason, this guy seemed to be very interested in Howard's movies. When Su Ming found him, he was hiding in a warehouse on the set, spying on Howard who was in a hurry.

The city is in chaos, and Howard is still inseparable from the new heroine of his new movie. All kinds of bloody conversations are coming out of the two people's mouths, as if the escape journey will be a life-and-death separation.

Zemo has been watching this bloody drama, and his behavior at this time is extremely inconsistent with his status.

He was not too surprised to see the appearance of Deathstroke, as if he had expected to encounter this strongest fighting force, and also knew that Deathstroke would not kill him.

Su Ming also negotiated a condition with him, which was almost as expected. Ozawa only wanted to deal with the Red Skull and was not interested in the other plans of the Führer.

Deathstroke asked him about the whereabouts of the Stone of Destiny, but did not get a definite answer. He only knew that it was lost somewhere in Asgard. Zemo was not conscious at the time and could not remember it.

"I'm curious, Baron Zemo, why did you come here? Is it for Howard?" The contract in his hand burned out, and Su Ming extinguished the flames in his palm. Howard, who was not far away, had not noticed the two of them. There is only the beautiful face of the actress in his eyes.

Zemo touched the hilt of the sword at his waist and sighed under the purple mask: "No, the atomic bomb can't help me with what I want to do. I came here because I heard that Hollywood is a place that can create miracles. Here Every day, other people’s lives are being played out, a beautiful life, I... want to see it.”

"Then you've come to the wrong place. Although Howard's movie is called a romance movie, it's actually a thriller. His and the heroine's acting skills make a vegetative person scream and rush into the dark night of ice and snow. American film critics unanimously agree that his The show pioneered a new genre called the 'Traffic Accident' school."

Su Ming told the reality coldly. He had watched Howard's movie once in the early years. It turned out that Howard should not be involved in Hollywood, but should go more than ten miles east to the Fernando Valley to find opportunities.

"But he is... relaxed. Is he usually like this? It's hard to imagine that such a careless person invented the most powerful bomb at present." Zemo turned and left. He had no plans to contact Howard. , he came here to wait for the death knell, and now he has achieved his goal.

Deathstroke's red eyepiece turned to his face: "Some people don't care how long they live, they just want to live a wonderful life. Isn't this difficult to understand for Hydra? After all, you are promoting the so-called true god of Hydra internally, pursuing Eternal life in another world or something.”

"That was Hive's suggestion. He disguised himself as the so-called true god and used that method to win over people with low levels of education. In view of the prevalence of personality cults during World War II and the generally low level of education among the people, I think this strategy was successful. ." Zemo answered the question honestly, there was nothing to hide about this.

Su Ming nodded: "When the average cultural level of people in the world is high in the future, will you change your propaganda slogans, such as establishing absolute order and allowing everyone to live in a sinless world?"

"Who knows, I don't care about that. Usually these issues are decided in meetings, but after Germany's defeat, the various distributions of Hydra have now dispersed and lurked. Even I don't know if there are only nine leaders now." Ze Mo took a deep breath and turned around: "I know what you want to ask. That person is in the place you call President Hill."

"I think so. I checked that he is not in the White House or the Statue of the Goddess, so that is where the United States can be represented." Su Ming learned of Mustache's movements. The mechanized head of state was really not afraid of death. .

Zemo nodded. He took out a beautiful Luger pistol from his arms and handed it to Su Ming: "I always feel that there is someone else behind the Führer and Faust, so that you can help me deal with the Red Skull in the future. , I think you should be more careful and don’t die.”

"Haha, Deathstroke is a person who crawled out of hell. You just have to do your job well and give me the information on time as agreed." Su Ming took the pistol and shot Zemo's arm and shoulder cleanly. Shot twice.

Zemo looked at him deeply, covered his wound and ran away: "Goodbye."

Su Ming said nothing. He put away the ivory-handled Ruger pistol and turned towards Howard, who was alerted by the gunshot.

"Oh, my love, the enemy has arrived at the door of the factory. Come with me quickly." Howard looked at the woman in front of him affectionately and said in an aria-like tone.

The woman showed an emotional expression: "No, I am an actor, and the set is my best destination. Go away quickly and live with my hope."

"I will never leave you, Ruth. Our love is so true that even death can't separate us!" Howard tiptoed forward two steps, held the woman in his arms, lowered his head and smiled.

"Oh, Howard, I love you, okay..." The woman was deeply moved and immediately joined hands with Howard.

Seeing such a bloody show, Su Ming under the icon mask turned into dead fish eyes. When he walked out of the darkness, he coughed twice: "Ahem!"

It means someone is coming.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

As a result, the couple didn't care about his existence at all, but devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the fictional plot they weaved, and the kiss was sizzling.

According to general logic, when the prince and princess kiss, even if the devil is present, he will only watch on the side during this time, right?

The villain not only has to give time for intimacy, but also allows the hero and heroine to communicate with each other. After talking a lot of nonsense, the hero gets encouragement and instantly turns defeat into victory.

Basically all stories and scripts are written like this.

However, Su Ming took off a shock grenade from his chest, flicked off the ring with his thumb, and threw it towards the two of them.

"boom!"

"ah!!!"

The two people who were sucked together by the powerful vacuum separated, both covering their ears and rolling on the ground.

"Haha, it seems that your love is not that sincere. Not to mention death, shock and bullets can separate you." Su Ming grabbed Howard's collar and pulled him up from the ground, using his fingers narrowly. Poked him in the head.

It's a pity that Howard, who only had a ringing in his ears, couldn't hear what he said. He could only barely open his eyes and wiped his face with dirty hands.

What he saw in his eyes that were blurred by tears was not a beautiful couple, but a yellow and black icon armor.

"Damn Death Knell, I was just a little bit on base!" Howard was relieved when he saw it was Death Knell, and then he started shouting loudly.

People who are hard of hearing will also speak very loudly, as if they are going to see a real estate agent.

Su Ming stretched out his arms like a cat and took him farther away. After his side effects had passed, he said, "Do you want women to die? What if it wasn't me who came, but the real Germany?" Devil, aren’t you going to be turned into fertilizer?”

Howard's eyes became distant, and he looked at the roof of the studio warehouse, where the two of them were hiding in this dirty and messy place just now: "You don't understand, this is love. There is an old saying in the East, about love in the world. What is it that teaches you whether life or death will be together?"

"You still speak Chinese to me? Come on, she likes your watch and you like her eyes. This is not love. Please settle the account quickly and I will take you to see the president."

Howard slapped his hand off the back of his collar and adjusted the collar of his suit: "How disappointing. You are particularly good at destroying other people's dreams, aren't you? Unlike other women, she is not interested in my money."

"Um, are the auditions still going on? Howard? I heard that the investment in this movie is huge, right? I can be famous, right?" At this time, the woman asked Howard, and she looked at the death knell with curiosity.

A man in black and yellow armor. He still wore armor in this day and age, and this was Hollywood. He must be acting, right?

World War II is over. Where did the Germans come from? Mr. Stark is really good at playing.

Needless to say, the script was quite rough and the actress found it very exciting.

Howard closed his eyes in pain, took out his checkbook from his arms, wrote down a series of numbers, tore off one sheet and threw it to the woman, waving his hands wordlessly.

It's beautiful, but it's hopelessly stupid. It's just that I haven't seen real guns and fake guns on the battlefield and can't hear it. I just took a shock bomb, got up and asked about the character.

So sad.

Su Ming spread his hands toward Howard, meaning that the answer was obvious: "It seems to be a realistic enough dream, but if you still carry your checkbook wherever you go and drive your beautiful black luxury car, then you will never have a good dream in your life. The day it came true.”

After saying that, without waiting for Howard to reply, he picked him up and flew directly out of the film factory, straight into the sky.

The strong wind brought by the flight poured into Howard's mouth, and his whole face looked particularly ugly for some reason.
