After the cards were put together, Xiaoliang stood there blankly. In addition to the torn cards in front of him, there was also a bright red one in the middle that was more eye-catching than the color of hearts. It was shown to him in the same way as the mysterious person he met before.
Written in the same font as Danny Rand’s name:
"Die"
(continued)
In an abandoned steel factory on the outskirts of Ben City, the Invisible Woman Susan Stone walked in with her twin brother Johnny Stone, the Human Torch, and the stone man Ben Grimm.
"Susan, I think we still need to inform Shang-Chi and Iron Fist. After all, they are the leaders of Bureau 749 and the Defenders Alliance here." Graeme rambled along the way, nothing more than that they should work together as a team and not alone.
Actions and the like.
"Oh, you're so annoying. Isn't Reed your best friend? You usually work together to attack me, just like one person, but now that he's missing, you've become so mother-in-law. It's popular in China now
In a word, they are called plastic sisters. I feel that the friendship between you is not as good as plastic, toilet paper, and toilet paper is almost the same, and it melts when it touches water." Susan replied impatiently from the front.
"I..." Graeme was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say, "At least I have to say hello. We're just going out like this. I'm worried..."
"Aren't we, the Fantastic Four, originally a team? Agent Brand saw that Jessica Jones in The Defenders had betrayed her, so she seconded us as temporary backup. But except for Rand, the rest
Two people who barely spoke to each other all day long drove me crazy. By the way, I remember that...that Matt, Matt Murdock, was he really a lawyer before?
In my impression, lawyers should be very eloquent."
"Abigail Brand is the director. After we defeated Doom, she specially applied for the Baxter Building and provided it to us. There are so many research equipment and equipment that we can't even think about without her.
Just think about it," Graeme corrected.
"Come on, no matter how nice people are to us, they won't be with you. Don't worry. You are so big and cold and hard. Who would want to hug and kiss such a person? Hahaha, you might as well kiss yourself.
Where’s the whetstone at home?” Johnny Stone laughed.
"Are you looking for a beating again? You're a bitch all the time. What's the name of that guy? Wade Wilson, right? It's not good for you to hang out in bars all the time. People have a lot of lives. If you lose your head, you can still pick it up.
Come on, you are different. If I want to rip off your head, your sister will have to go to the morgue to identify you." Graeme said and was going to catch him.
"Are you kidding, big guy, you want to twist my head off? Stop dreaming and come and catch me." Johnny said as his body started to burn, relying on the power of the flames to fly around flexibly around Graeme's body.
Graeme didn't show any weakness, like a chameleon preying on insects, he quickly attacked Johnny in the air again and again.
"Okay! You two, you are like a child all day long! Can you save me some trouble?!!" Susan shouted impatiently, and then as soon as she reached out, Johnny's body was covered with a faint smile.
The blue spherical protective cover wrapped it, and then as she pulled it down with both hands, the ball rushed towards the ground with Johnny, but the moment it approached the ground, the blue spherical protective cover disappeared. Poor John
Neben fell firmly to the ground.
"Hey! It hurts, sister. We are twins, how could you be so cruel!!" Johnny complained, holding his waist that hurt from the fall.
"I can't deal with that big guy, but you and I can still deal with it, so be honest and don't joke around." Susan rolled her eyes at him, and then continued walking forward without looking back.
"She is definitely not my biological sister. Little Victor is my biological brother. We should be twin brothers." Johnny poked Graeme who was standing aside and whispered.
"You still spoke too loudly. Your sister must have heard it, I'm sure of it. But you are white and Victor is black. You two are not compatible, so how can you lay eggs?" Graeme said seriously.
.
"Screw you, you are still laying eggs, you should be hatched from stone eggs. I am talking about twins, do you understand? It's too hard to talk to you. What's wrong with blacks, whites, and blacks?
"You look down on black people. What kind of person are you? A stone kind?" Johnny mocked with a bit of disdain.
"Boy, your sister is angry. I can't bear it anymore. Please be careful with your mouth." Graeme was obviously a little angry and took two quick steps to keep up with Susan in front of him.
"Hey, hey, you're still angry, big guy! I didn't mean to say that you were born from a stone, but you didn't say that I was born from an egg first..." Realizing that his words were a bit too much, Johnny hit himself.
mouth, and then caught up and apologized.
"Okay, you two," Susan's face became serious, "I can feel Reed, he is nearby. It makes me a little alert."
"Okay, sister, when did you learn telekinesis? I didn't know you had such superpowers." Johnny whispered.
"Shh, don't argue. There are micro heart rate conduction chips in our rings. We can feel each other's heartbeats within a range of about thirty to fifty meters." Susan explained while paying close attention to the surroundings.
"Oh, my dear brother-in-law didn't buy you a real diamond, so it's a pity for my sister and him." Johnny said with a smile.
"Bah, your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law, do you think you are the stock god Buffett? A doctor in space physics almost invested our Basque Building in the stock market. I don't want to live with such a person." Susan couldn't bear it either.
Zhu complained.
"We followed the car in which they kidnapped Reed to this shabby factory in the wilderness. Let's not talk about anything else. I think the kidnapping can be followed and tracked to the den. I think this kind of thing can raid the underground of the 749th Bureau.
The IQ of the people at the base should be completely free of such omissions." Although the stone man Graeme is bulky, his thinking is sometimes extremely sharp.
"Unless...unless they lured us here on purpose?" Johnny went on to express the speculation that Graeme wanted to express.
"How is it possible? If it weren't for a big guy like you, we could have intercepted them halfway." Although Susan felt a chill down her spine, she still stubbornly retorted.
"He expected that our Fantastic Four would unite and advance and retreat together, so their cars did not drive very fast..."
"What is the purpose? We, the Fantastic Four, are together. Is it possible for them to fight against the four of us at the same time? If you are smart, you should separate us." Susan spoke as fast as a machine gun, but instead
Conceal your guilty conscience.
"The purpose is to separate us from Bureau 749 and the defenders." Ben's voice sounded like a bell.
"Shang-Chi and Rand went to protect the child with the space gem. Thor was not here either. The underground base seemed to have been captured by a combination of internal and external factors. Daisy went berserk. The troubles faced by Matt and Luke have not yet been resolved.
"Finally, didn't they take advantage of the chaos and kidnap their brother-in-law? Even if they weren't so deliberate, the entire Defenders Alliance has already fallen apart." Johnny said with rare seriousness.
"What's the use of talking about it now? Obviously this is a premeditated attack against us. Now that they're all here, let's see what they want to do." Susan clenched her fists and said resolutely.
So the three people searched for clues among the intricate machines and pipes of the steel plant. However, the inside was as winding and narrow as a steel maze, and the few people had to find a path that could allow the two- to three-meter-tall Graeme to pass.
, which is tantamount to increasing the difficulty of finding.
Finally, in the northwest corner of the entire factory, Johnny stood there as if he felt something.
"What's wrong? John, why didn't you leave suddenly?" Susan turned around and asked strangely.
"I am very sensitive to high temperatures. I can feel the presence of quite strong heat here, not far from this road. It feels very much like the steel-making furnace filled with molten steel when I went to the steel plant in New York."
Johnny said to a narrow passage next to him that was only big enough for one person.
"Don't be kidding me. This place looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. How could it still be in operation?" Graeme turned around and said with a smile.
"Shh..." Susan walked into the passage and carefully captured the slightest vibration in the air. There was indeed a sound. It came from about ten meters in front. It was the sound of metal hitting. "It is true that there is something over there."
There is a noise, but no matter what, we still have to go and take a look."
"Well, this space is only big enough for you two to pass, so I'd better walk along this road and see if there are any other wider roads leading in that direction." Graeme was doubtful, but seeing the two siblings so
Confident so I agreed.
"Okay, keep in touch with your wireless headphones and stay safe," Susan said.
"Nothing that can threaten me has been found yet, but I am as solid as a rock." Graeme said half-jokingly.
"You still need to practice your stone man, otherwise people will criticize you for saying this." Johnny mocked.
"Okay, you two, Graeme has already smashed six or seven computers while playing "League of Legends", so don't provoke him." Susan pushed her brother Johnny into the narrow passage.
"It won't work there. An archer can shoot me through with an arrow. If you have the guts to do it in real life, even Hawkeye Clint is no match for me." Ben Grimm smiled and walked forward along the same path.
This road is not that smooth for Graeme. Although he can walk freely in it with a slightly hunched back, various unknown pipelines above his head will still protrude from time to time and be broken by the stone man who cannot dodge.
, there was an air leak or some unknown black slime left behind, which was barely enough, but the sound of the collision of stone and metal could be heard in the air, and Graeme felt that if he were an enemy, he would definitely have enough time to prepare.
"Maybe this way I will attract their attention, and Susan and Johnny will be safer there." Graeme said to himself.
"Stop! What are you doing?!" Suddenly, several workers wearing safety helmets jumped out from nowhere.
"You should speak English and don't blame the Chinese for everything. This is no longer the Qing Dynasty of your ancestors. Don't think that by changing the Tiandihui to the Triad, you can hide the wrongdoers.
No country will accept you." Graeme remained motionless, just standing there looking at the few people coming, completely unafraid.
"To put it in your words, we have worked so hard to get here from the United States. As long as we get your lives, we brothers will not have to worry about it in this life. Don't blame me." The man in the middle said and raised his hand.
He picked up a hammer hidden behind his back and hit Graeme.
Just a "dang" sound was heard, and if the man hadn't grasped the hammer handle firmly in time, the hammer would have been almost ejected.
"My dad used to be a worker in a mine. No matter how hard the rock is, I have seen it. Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to deal with you." The man smiled contemptuously, and the two people behind took out two electric road breaking picks and exposed them.
A sinister smile.
"What? Is this the way you said?" Stone Man Graeme laughed and said.
"Of course it's more than that. This Mitsubishi Heavy Industries rock crusher is a 2000*3500 hydraulic jaw crusher that we took great pains to transport from Japan. This is a customized model. The engine alone can drive the Izumo aircraft carrier.
300 nautical miles, don’t let me damage it, do you know the tariff is very high?”
"What?" Graeme said that although nothing had really hurt him yet, the fear of unknown things still made his heart tense.
"Hahaha, come on." The man didn't know when he had an industrial switch connected by a thick wire. And as he pressed the green button in the middle hard, rumbling machinery suddenly appeared all around.
With the roar, the stone man Graeme also felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly shake. Then he lost his center of gravity and fell into a huge cone-shaped funnel-shaped container.
Although it is said to be huge, for Graeme, who is nearly three meters tall, it seems that it can only accommodate his lower body. The reason why I use "seems" here is because he can feel that his body is shattering from feet to legs intoxicated.
The pain gradually subsided. The two walls of the cone-shaped container were continuously moving up and down to squeeze his body. The force was so strong that he could already feel that his legs and feet were beginning to have gravel. Due to such intense squeezing,
If it continues like this, his entire body will be completely chewed into stones by this machine that eats rocks like a monster.
Thinking of this, he quickly endured the severe pain in his lower body with all his strength and rushed out, trying to grab a metal pillar five or six meters away from him, but it was completely in vain, which made him feel like he was falling from below.
The speed of sinking was much faster. In panic, he began to desperately scratch everything he could reach, hoping to slow down his sinking speed. Upon seeing this, the three people quickly jumped to places that were out of his reach.
, the person before showed a smile full of accomplishment:
"Big guy, are you today too? This feeling of being crushed into pieces must be extremely unbearable. I can't wait to take your stone eyes back and collect them. We, mere mortals, can kill a superhero with our mortal bodies.
, we are still such important superheroes, my boss will definitely give us promotions when we go back. I don’t want to use this money to live a free life now. With Professor Kenji Koyama’s plan, I think I will not only kill you guys
Marginal heroes, I think even the Avengers, who claim to be able to save the earth, can die by my hands. I really like Captain's shield. Do you want to follow me?" The man said, looking at the two people who came with him on both sides.
"Of course, I will always follow you."
"We will do great things, then...can you give me this guy's other eye?" One of them added after he finished speaking.
"Of course, I guess he can't move now. You can just go up and demolish whatever you want with a pavement breaking pick." The man in the middle said lazily, holding a hammer beside him arrogantly.
"Come on...I...come and get it if you can!" At this time, Graeme felt that his lower body had no feeling at all, and the severe pain had penetrated to his waist, and his exposed body could only barely stretch his arms.
But he still yelled stubbornly.
The two people holding the rapidly rotating road crushing picks were shocked and took two steps back, but they still quickly moved forward to avoid the range of his arms. Standing on his back that had not fully sunk, they started the demolition work with sparks flying.
.
If Graeme were a real person, I believe this scene would be more bloody and terrifying, but even though he has a rocky appearance, he is still a human being, and he can also feel tremendous pain and torture. The only difference from ordinary people is that he is still human.
The only thing is - he will die slower.
The rubble that fell from the cone-shaped container of the jaw crusher under his feet has piled up a hill with a dark red color, and his upper body has also been jagged by the hand-held road crushing pickaxe. If we say this
It was impossible for Graeme not to want to die at that time, but conversely, no one wanted to die more than him at this moment. Because every movement of the second hand was torture for him, and the pain he endured was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
imaginary.
Scenes from the past flashed rapidly before his eyes like scenes from an old-fashioned projector:
Reed Richards, a genius scientist who we have played with since childhood, Susan Stone, who needs music to continue every time she thinks, and Johnny, a talkative expert who is even better than Deadpool all day long.
Stone. The four of them held their helmets and walked through the narrow passageway from the NASA ground command center building to the spacecraft launch pad.
The afterglow of the setting sun was blocked by the tall space shuttle and still revealed half a golden afterglow. It was scattered on the transparent visor of the helmet held by the four of them. It reflected the beautiful colors of the rainbow and was printed on the ceiling of the long and narrow corridor like a kaleidoscope.
It was particularly eye-catching. It was also his last day as an ordinary person. When he could not sleep at night, he always liked to recall the evening before boarding the spacecraft. The afterglow was golden and seemed to have a bloody edge, but it was still beautiful.
.
The breeze blew over the face of Susan who was walking in front of him, blowing her short short hair. The short golden hair and the golden sunshine felt as crystal clear as transparent;
Richards walked in front of her, and his tall and thin figure was stretched very long in the afterglow, and gradually melted into the dark and terrifying boarding gate at the end of the corridor;
At that time, Johnny's chatter was not much weaker than it is now. It may be because he had met Deadpool Wade before. He was talking so much that he didn't know whether he was talking to Graeme himself or his sister and brother-in-law, or maybe he was talking to himself.
He said to himself that he was different from his sister Susan. In the afterglow, his hair was as red as the bloody edge surrounded by golden light. His temperament was also like fire, always burning, flickering but never extinguished.
If he had the ability of Professor
Going into space for their country is also for the desire of all mankind for the unknown. Each of the four of them is an incomparable honor. Each of them seems to be striding forward wearing the American flag.
Different from becoming a superhero to save all mankind later, the goal this time is clear. Even if there will be a series of emergencies in the middle, the goal is there. Get the data of abnormal cosmic radiation, return to Earth, and the mission is over. Okay
Enjoying treatment like an aerospace hero, you can live an upper-class life, play golf, go out on a yacht, and stare at the fish bobber rising and falling with the microwaves under the scorching sun. This may not be seen in the eyes of ordinary people.
Ordinary, but in the eyes of him now as a superhero, this kind of life is as ordinary and peaceful as heaven.
And they who survived that cosmic ray burst have superpowers that are difficult for people to achieve, or the power that many people dream of, but they have no goals, because as Parker said, "With great power comes great responsibility."
".Their goal is unknown. No one knows what the next disaster will be: time, place, and who. These are not known until the moment the disaster occurs. Every time we embark on a new battle, a new journey,
It's more about the fear of the unknown that we will face.
In fact, he would leave a suicide note to his parents in Ohio every time. Only here can those who want to retreat, escape, boredom and pain have space to express - and here, it is far better than some formulaic places organized by the government.
The flowers and pre-rehearsed applause made Graeme feel more at ease. The more than one hundred letters accumulated in the past three years may finally have a chance to be sent out this time...
"This side of his neck is really difficult to drill. How about your side?" He was dragged out of this series of bizarre memories by a heartbreaking pain in his shoulder. He felt that his lumbar disc had been damaged.
Broken into pieces, I may have only these hands left to make the final resistance.
"You won't find a place. This joint is the weakest in the body. Come over here and remove this arm first." The other person once again found the connection between his shoulder blades and wanted to continue drilling.
Go down.
Thinking back to everything that had just happened, the good things in life, his parents and companions, Graeme once again used his two arms to desperately climb out of the jaw crusher, but the body below the waist had been slowly rotated by the force just now.
It was like some indigestion monster devoured everything in an instant. His lower body was buried with him, and of course the two people standing on top of him. The flesh and blood body was not worth mentioning under the pressure of thousands of kilograms. The scene
Only one pavement-breaking pickaxe fell beside Ben Grimm, idling and contacting the ground from time to time, making loud noises.
"Hey, hey, you actually...you are responsible for my brother's death. Superheroes are not allowed to do this." The man held the hammer in his hand again. The difference from before was that he looked at it with two thick arms.
The stone man slowly crawled in front of him, and the hammer handle began to tremble slightly.
"Responsible for you? You go and reason with Satan!" Ben Grimm, who had a small piece of his head cut off, said, smashing the falling broken pickaxe that was still idling next to him with one punch, and then used his hands again
With so much force, the man's screams echoed throughout the factory.
"Huh?" Bullseye Leslie listened for a while, then turned back.
In front of him was Reed Richards, who had been rolled into a slender shape by two opposing steel rolling mills. He was breathing as loudly as possible at this moment. His limbs on the left and right sides were rolled by the steel rolling mills on both sides.
After being rolled in for more than ten turns, one foot was still hanging out of the roller of the machine on the left.
"You will be punished..." His mouth, which had been torn into an almost rectangular shape, could not be closed at all. Only his lips moved slightly to utter this sentence.
"What?" Leslie held a tissue close to his completely deformed face, leaned down, and gently wiped away the dripping saliva.
"I...said...you will...suffer...retribution!!" The last roar with all his strength caused the corners of his mouth to tear instantly, and blood flowed down, mixed with saliva and dripped on the ground.
"Hmph, don't worry, Reed, things don't end that easily." Leslie strummed his stretched, slender arms like strings, and Mr. Fantastic reasoned.
Chaz let out a cry of pain, "Listen to this cry, your friend's life is very hard, but this can only make my game more interesting. Before you finish watching this scene, don't worry, I won't
It will kill you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Leslie suddenly came up to his eyes which were red due to congestion, raised the four cards in his hand with the names of the Fantastic Four written on them, and pulled out one of the cards with Ben Graham written on it.
Yi smiled and said:
"Then this four of hearts, I'm waiting to tear it up with you. Hold on, my Mr. Fantastic."
