As soon as he finished speaking, Leslie suddenly came up to his eyes, which were red due to congestion. He 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."
(To be continued)
"Did you hear something? Sister." Johnny said, tapping Susan's shoulder in front of him.
"I heard it. It was a human cry. The sound felt very close, but it was too convoluted inside. Do you think we have been to this place just now?" Susan looked around with confusion.
"The steel plant is like this. Everything inside feels the same, and the signs containing the current location seem to have been artificially erased. So the only way is to follow the thickest main pipe, at least not to fall into a loop.
, Sister, you have always been a road idiot and you still have to walk in front." Johnny couldn't help complaining in the end.
"You...be careful. I am your sister. Talking to your sister like this is really no big deal." Susan said in a condescending tone.
"We are twins. You are 15 minutes older than me. Moreover, when our father came back from the shelter to take care of us, he just heard the nurse say this. I don't know if it is right. Maybe I am 15 minutes older than you.
." Johnny complained.
"Hey, you're so excited, why do you want to practice with me? She's your sister a few minutes older, and you made a mistake. Do you think everyone is the same as you? You're so confused all day long that you don't even know.
What are you doing?" Susan turned around and forced Johnny into the corner, raising her fist as if she wanted to hit him.
"Sister, sister...I was wrong. Then you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself. I, a confused person, will take my leave first. Please take care of yourself." Johnny cupped his fists and bowed deeply, and then walked back.
.
"I think you are serious. I can't do it without giving you some clues. I..." Before Susan could finish her words, she heard a soft female voice not far in front of her: "This famous magical...
The Four Heroes used to be people who couldn't even find their way around and could only chat. Is the threshold for superheroes so low now?"
"This sound is really nice. This is a female voice. It sounds much better than yours, sister." Johnny said with a naive smile.
"You...are looking for a beating, aren't you!" Susan growled at him, then walked forward calmly, smiling at the graceful figure in the darkness in front of her, "Oh, this sound is quite sweet, you don't have to hide, Jay
Sika, I’ve always heard Matt mention you, and today I finally get to see the face of this goddess who has always fascinated us, the always calm and unsmiling barristers.”
"Is she that Jessica?" Johnny immediately became serious upon hearing this, and his body was immediately wrapped in flames. The surrounding metal pipes slowly began to make noises under the heat, accompanied by a burning smell.
.
"That's right, Susan. It seems that we women have a stronger sixth sense. Matt and I were both lawyers in the past, and we also fought together, but what happened? My family was ruined, and we were supposed to attend various high-class banquets.
Lawyers in China are like rats on the street every day, hiding and secretive. But now you look at me, then look at him, not just him, look at the life you people live, and then look at me now.
"A tall and well-proportioned woman with blond hair and shawl came out of the darkness.
"Because of this, you gave up your mission to be a hero? The superpowers God gave you were not meant for you to do evil or help others do evil! Look at who you are hanging out with." Susan was excited.
say.
"That was an accident, Miss Stone, wasn't it the same for you? Do you still hope that the accident will happen again if you are given a chance to do it again? Accidents arranged by God have disrupted our entire lives, you know what I'm saying
Is that true? How many people really voluntarily been transformed like Rogers? He should be grateful that the experiment was successful. What if he became like Bruce Banner? Do you think he would still want to be transformed?" Jessica removed her waist
He took out two shiny short-handled hand forks and slowly stepped forward.
"Be careful, sister, she is deliberately trying to make you relax your guard." Upon seeing this, Johnny immediately flew in front of Susan and blocked her with his body.
"Hey, big flame boy, do we still have two cases to settle? Your high temperature can easily hurt others. There are still several innocent passers-by who were burned in the burn department bed of New York City Hospital. Their
It seems that your family members are still sitting in protest in front of the Basque Building. Sorry, I happen to be their legal aid lawyer. Now I have the right to extradite you back to the United States for trial. Look, this is what you call a superhero, and this is what you are supposed to be.
The hero's reward for you." Jessica was not at all afraid of the blazing flames on his body, but on the contrary, her words were to the point.
Johnny Stone's heart trembled suddenly, and then he felt a burning pain. The fire in his body could burn the bad guys, but the fire in Jessica's words burned directly into his heart.
"Okay, John, I can protect myself, you don't have to be so nervous." Susan stretched out her finger slightly, and a blue spherical protective shield appeared outside Johnny's body, which was silenced. Susan
With a wave of his hand, the protective shield took him flying to the side.
At this moment, Jessica suddenly flew in front of Susan like lightning. The sharp fork was inserted straight into her abdomen, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from Susan's mouth, spraying on her.
Jessica's fair face was particularly dazzling: "Do you think I really don't dare? After following Kingpin for so long, how many people have died at my hands? How much nobler are you than them? Good guy, bad guy, man
, women, old people, children, my hands are stained with blood, do you think I will become soft-hearted just because of your few words? You can't even protect yourself, how can you protect others?"
"No--"
Johnny watched this painful scene and shouted. The flames on his body suddenly filled the entire spherical energy shield like a volcanic eruption. At this time, the protective shield did not change from blue to blue because of the reflection of the flames.
red.
"Being able to...have people to protect...is enough. Being able to be able...to be able to protect others is...that's what it means to be a hero...the value of being a hero..." Susan still held up her hands to her brother.
Johnny's direction was to maintain the existence of the protective shield, and then he said weakly in Jessica's ear.
"Sister! Sister!! Let me go and let me out!! I really want to fucking roast this bitch bit by bit! Just wait for me Jessica, as long as you can't kill me, I will be with you for the rest of my life.
It will make your life worse than death -" Johnny roared and hit the protective shield wrapped around it again and again.
"No, Johnny! You... cough, cough, cough, be honest and stop killing people. In the past three years... the parents holding photos of their children outside our building... they were crying and shouting at the door
Are there not enough people asking us for their dead children?! If you always do this...what's the difference between you and them?!!" Susan endured the severe pain in her abdomen and shouted to her brother who was completely out of control.
.
"You...Susan, you are so naive. Look at what you have gained by risking your life to save people again and again and doing what you call justice. Over the years, how many people have I helped accuse you of treating other people when you were upholding justice?"
The injuries and property losses caused. You haven’t seen the faces of my clients. They only care about their own interests. No matter how many people you save, they only care about themselves. I believe you can’t not see it.
Why? Why do you continue to do this? Is it worth what you have done for them?" Jessica Jones said at this moment, looking at Susan who was almost exhausted after shouting to her brother with all her strength.
"Of course... it's worth it," Susan's face was actually filled with a happy smile, "Looking at those... those who saw us in despair... that kind of joy and happiness, seeing them rescued
Later, I hugged my loved ones passionately and cried with joy. I felt...everything was worth it."
"Madman, are you all crazy? Why are you doing this?" Jessica's eyes flashed with crystal tears, "What are you all going to do? You want her because you didn't save her dog when you rescued her.
Have you forgotten the woman I sued you to the point of ruining everything? When your Basque Building was denounced, accused of getting out of New York, and finally beaten, smashed, looted, and burned, they...those people you saved desperately, what do you call them?
People with happy smiles... Did any of them stand up and speak for you?! Why don't you remember these? People's hearts are so cold and heartless, why do you fight so hard for them?!"
Jessica's blood-stained fork fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
"What does it matter? This is the responsibility given to us by superpowers..."
"I don't believe in those bullshit responsibilities. Don't tell me that bullshit about how great the ability, the greater the responsibility. We have our own choices and our own paths. Why...why...we all end up like this when we are good people?
The family was broken up, the wife was separated, and all she got was incomprehension and rejection, and being called a freak. A company that disposed of nuclear waste came to me and asked me to give them money, saying it was because one of their people drove a truck carrying radioactive chemicals drunk.
I just collided with my car, which finally gave me my superpower. Do you think this is human language? My parents died on the spot in the accident, and they actually... actually thought that I would sacrifice my parents' lives for
Are you happy about your superpower? I am really..." Jessica yelled, shouting out all the unhappiness and resentment she has felt towards this world over the years.
At this time, Susan's consciousness had faded in and out, and her ability to be invisible became unstable as her consciousness diminished, and her body disappeared and appeared sometimes. The energy shield that controlled Johnny also began to slowly become fragile, and John
The flames ejected from Ni's body began to penetrate the protective shield and spurt out in bunches. Tears slowly slid down the corners of Susan's eyes. She twitched the corners of her mouth weakly and said with all her strength:
"Help...save brother, please...please let him go...please..." Before she could finish her words, a stream of bright red blood overflowed from her mouth, and then she fell down limply.
Her body slowly turned transparent again and disappeared into the air. The only thing that proved she still existed was the muffled sound of her skull hitting the ground.
"Sister--" A cry seemed to shake the world.
Without the restraints of Susan's protective shield, Johnny's accumulated energy burst out in an instant, and the huge shock wave caused the tall and thin Jessica to do some somersaults in the air and slide several meters away on the ground.
I was forced to stop because of a protruding pipe behind my heel.
"Cough cough cough..." Jessica squatted half-crouched and held her hands on the ground to prevent her whole body from collapsing to the ground due to the huge impact just now. A large mouthful of blood spurted on the ground, and she was still there due to the congestion in her lungs.
Unstoppable coughing.
"Jessica! You have to atone for everything you have done, and you will pay for everything you have done!" At this time, Johnson, under the influence of anger, turned into a big fireball, with his facial features, neck and even
The outline of the entire limb is difficult to distinguish. But the eyes that emit dazzling white light are clearly murderous, which is very scary.
"I...I, I actually didn't want to return to the United States alive," Jessica began to choke, "We all had fake passports when we came here, so you don't have to bear any legal responsibility for killing me.
.”
"Law, law! You killed so many people, do you need to be held legally responsible? You tell me that as long as you are in the void of the law, you can be inhumane, right?" The blazing flames on Johnny's body burned Jesse.
Every inch of her skin was stuck, and the dazzling firelight could almost blind her eyes.
"It's over now John, I killed your sister, come on, take revenge on me, hurry up and end it all." Jessica closed her eyes and crossed her hands that were beginning to melt from the high temperature.
Throwing it aside, he stretched out his arms to welcome the death sentence.
"It's too easy for you to die now." Johnny put away the flames on his body and returned to his normal form. "I believe you are not alone in these things. Take me there. I want to meet your boss behind the scenes.
.I want to bake the oil out of his body bit by bit, and then I will deal with you again. Take me to see him quickly! Hurry!"
Johnny's hand held Jessica's wrist, and immediately there was a "sizzling" sound when the steak was placed on the hot iron plate. Jessica seemed to be able to smell the smell of burnt meat skin, followed by almost
The pain that made her whole body twitch, but she bit her red lips tightly, blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and it was difficult to tell whether the flames on her red lips were the color of lipstick or blood, but she felt nothing at all because of the severe pain in her arms.
to the pain emanating from the lips.
"Your sister, she finally told me to let you go. Now that no one can see you, you can leave quickly, John. If you want to seek revenge from me, I have no complaints, but you, please don't go to die again."
It's over." Jessica's body was shaking constantly in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted in persuading her.
"Stop talking nonsense. We, the Fantastic Four, have always been a unit. It is also our character to take revenge. Today I am also going to be an avenger. Please take me there quickly!" Johnny's hand tightened, and Jay
Sika was now completely unable to stand still and was shaking her body back and forth as if intoxicated.
"Really John, let me tell you, Kingpin is inherently ruthless. You have never seen a living person being punched and beaten into a pulp by his own hands. How terrifying it is. And now there are people from Japan.
Assistant scientist Kenji Koyama, his grandfather was the main researcher of Unit 731, which used living people for human experiments. This... you can't imagine what these two people can do together. And they came from space.
The gems have been developing their own spies here since they fell here. Now their people are lurking so fast, so deeply, and so widely that even I didn't expect, so it's easy to wipe you out from here." Jesse.
His consciousness was starting to get a little blurry, but he still managed to speak.
"Kenji Koyama? It turns out he was the one who caused the trouble. Just take me to find them. They are all mortal beings. I don't believe how they can threaten me." He said and pushed Jessica forward.
, "Take me to them!"
Jessica, whose center of gravity was already unstable due to the severe pain, was pushed straight to the ground by this strong push. There were burnt black fingerprints on her white arms, exuding a pungent smell. This was shocking.
The scars made Johnny's heart tremble, but thinking of his sister, he still shouted sharply: "Get up!"
Jessica was helpless. The gusts of cool wind did not weaken the burning sensation of the wound at all. Instead, it was like a knife cutting it, causing bursts of heartbreaking pain. But she still stood up with difficulty, arched her back, and moved forward tremblingly.
Go.
"Wait a minute," Johnny behind him gently picked up his invisible sister on the ground and leaned against the slightly smooth wall on one side, then picked up the two forks that Jessica had thrown on the ground and inserted them back into her
waist, "Don't let people see that you are being threatened. If I go in front of you, you will pretend that I am captured by you. Do you understand? If you dare to play any tricks again, I guarantee that this wound will appear."
Be honest on your face!" He said and pushed Jessica hard again. If she hadn't just stabilized herself, she would have been pushed to the ground again.
Under the impact of anger, Johnny Stone has unknowingly become the person he was most disgusted with at the beginning. At this second, there is no pure difference between good guys and bad guys, only the rising fire of revenge.
Get high.
In this way, the two walked in tandem for two or three minutes, and then came to a relatively open place. As the eyes suddenly opened up, a brisk voice came: "Haha, Miss Jones, this is
This time it really impressed me.”
"Don't you talk to me in such a weird way Leslie, let me tell you," Jessica covered the scars on her hands as much as possible and still maintained her previous cold and otherworldly tone and said, "I'll give you my life."
You brought it, you ask the boss, Dr. Xiaoshan, and others to come out."
"Hey, don't worry," Bullseye Leslie stood in front of the two of them from a platform slightly higher than the ground, through various pipes, ladders and handrails, "Actually, I'm the only one doing this kind of job.
They are completely capable. Don't worry, Jessica, the two of us are just...who is that? Why are there one missing member of the Fantastic Four?" Leslie looked behind desperately.
"Didn't you say that my sister is in your hands? Jessica, how dare you lie to me!!" Johnny didn't react slowly and suddenly yelled at Jessica.
"You bastard, didn't you hide his sister and brother-in-law together? What's the matter with you? I brought them to you. You tell him this." Jessica also immediately realized that she was pretending to Leslie.
Said with a wink.
"Oh, haha, Mr. Johnny Stone, don't get excited yet, haha, we just wanted to talk to him first, and now it's your turn. Besides, it seems like you have a friend besides your sister and brother-in-law." Les.
After Li Yi arrived, he pretended to be polite and said.
"Ben...Ben, what happened to him? What did you do to him?" Johnny knew that nothing could hurt the stone man in such a small space, so he asked pretending to be nervous.
But the fact was enough to make his whole body tremble.
"Oh, it's nothing like that. He felt too dirty and was taking a shower over there. Jessica, Madam, should you avoid it?" Leslie smiled sinisterly and pointed to the side of the factory not far away.
A huge tilted iron melting furnace, red molten iron is slowly flowing down like drizzle, and what is underneath is not a cast iron mold, but...
"Ben!!!" Johnny yelled up to the sky, and then his body was immediately surrounded by flames. Jessica, who was standing next to her, wanted to end it all by being burned to death. She really didn't want to experience this kind of scene again.
She didn't know why the cold-blooded person she once was felt so fragile on this day. Fortunately, Leslie had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he picked her up and jumped onto a shelf with steel bars not far away.
"You're crazy! Jessica, don't you want to live? You don't have the ability to adapt at all?" Johnny looked at her in surprise. With Jessica's skills, it should be easy to avoid Johnny's flames.
right.
"You don't have to worry about it, I can protect myself!" Jessica yelled, throwing away her burned arm that was grabbed by Leslie.
"No, take it here! This is your hand..." Leslie grabbed Jessica's arm and said.
"Go away, you don't have to worry about it!!" Although Jessica quickly pulled back, she still let Leslie see it.
"Johnny, you bastard!" After Leslie said that, he jumped a few times easily and returned to the high platform. Johnny also flew over with flames sprayed, and the punch was about to come.
, I saw Leslie pointing to the steel rolling mill on the side without hesitation and smiling, "Do you recognize him? If something happens to me, I'm sure he won't survive."
When Johnny looked where he was pointing, he immediately changed his angle in front of Leslie, broke several beams on the roof of the factory under the action of huge inertia, and stopped at the moment he was about to hit the ceiling.
"Sister...brother-in-law..." He was facing the ceiling, with his back to the ground, his body trembling like a child who failed the test and facing the wall in grievance. With just one glance, he could completely imagine his brother-in-law at this moment.
The tragic situation. His psychological defense had reached its limit. The flames surrounding his body became unstable as his emotions fluctuated. He was like a leaf, sometimes floating and sometimes falling, but he was not worried at all.
with fear.
At this time, his heart was completely occupied by great sadness: "Why... why? Why am I the one alive?" Johnny said to himself.
"Come here, little John, come down from the sky and let's have a good chat." Leslie smiled and touched his bare head.
"What on earth do you want to do?!!"
Johnny's anger suddenly rose when he heard this, and he rushed to Bullseye and said viciously. His gums could almost bleed from biting him, his eyeballs were swollen with blood and anger, and his entire face was completely deformed. At this time, he was filled with hatred.
Underneath his emotions, he looks more like a devil.
"Hey, little John is angry? Don't worry, our game has just started now. What a pity, your sister didn't see this wonderful scene. Don't think that you two can deceive me with your little tricks.
But since she’s dead anyway, the result is the same, just a little less interesting.”
"Let me tell you, Leslie, we have been fighting openly and covertly with you in New York for so long. We and the defenders have sent you to the police station, but we have never killed you, otherwise you wouldn't
You can still talk to me here. This time, I hope you can let my friend go." Johnny slowly put away the flames around him and landed next to Bullseye, and his tone softened a lot. After all, in today's world
Under the circumstances, it was impossible for him to rescue two people at the same time.
"Haha, where are you angry? Weren't you quite angry just now?" This time, Leslie became excited. As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
I saw the rollers of the two rolling mills slowly starting to rotate again with the rumbling roar of the machine. At this moment, Reed let out the kind of scream that can only be made when the body is torn apart. On the other side, the stone man
The furnace above Ben Graeme also tilted even more sharply. The molten iron that was originally like a stream was now like a waterfall, and the red liquid completely covered Graeme.
"No, no, no... stop, please, can you punish me for anything? Leslie, really, if it costs me my life, please don't treat them like this." Johnny said.
Slowly kneeling on the ground while crying.
"No! No!! Johnny Stone! We will never...never compromise with the evil forces, never-" Mr. Fantastic Richards, who was almost stretched into a straight line, tried his best to use his torn torn
said the lips.
"Reed is right, we are the Fantastic Four, we are superheroes, and we will not surrender to our enemies even if we die." With only his upper body left, Graeme desperately used his two thick arms to support his entire body.
shouted.
"They all have more backbone than you, Little John, do you think you are worthy of being a superhero? They are so noble with just their words. It would be better if you are really not afraid of death. You can choose one. Anyway, both of them want to die.
I listen to what they want. It would be boring if I killed them all. It would be interesting to choose one." Leslie looked at Johnny with a smirk on his face.
"Leslie, you are so vicious. If you like killing people so much, wouldn't it be wrong to kill me? I will never fight back. Why do you want to make things difficult for my friends?!" Johnny Stone really wanted to die at this time, really.
I have never encountered a more difficult decision than this. The person who did the evil is right in front of me, but I can only watch my friend die, but I can't do anything.
"You are not within my range. If you die, your two friends will not survive." Leslie stretched out his hand in the shape of a pistol and pointed it at Ben Grimm and then turned to Reed.
Richards, said to Johnny Stone without looking back.
"You will be punished Leslie!!! Even if I die, I will not let you go -" Johnny's fists were bleeding.
Although Ben Graeme always quarrels with himself and often gets violent with him, he knows that most of them are caused by him liking to tease him. In fact, he chooses to endure it most of the time. But no matter what,
Despite the fight, the relationship between the two of them is getting better and better.
Not to mention Reed Richards, as his brother-in-law, he is always accommodating and tolerant to himself, and he is also obedient to the rest of the Stone family, with basically no major disputes. Of course, because of this,
Losing money from stock trading will also make it completely difficult for my sister to accept the divorce. This is really the only thing that my brother-in-law hides from his sister. Others are more of a mediator between his sister and himself. He is patient and understanding.
Reason has always been his label.
"I'm not that patient. Let me tell you, Johnson, what a high honor it is to give you the power to decide the life and death of others. You should thank me instead of just dilly-dallying here."
Who should I choose?
How to do it?
Johnny almost collapsed to the ground, tears pouring out desperately, and his body was shaking constantly.
"John, I am very happy to fight alongside you, and I am honored to be your brother-in-law. Since your sister has left, let me go with her." Although Richards tried his best to stabilize his emotions,
But he was still breathing heavily.
"My lower body is gone, Reed, I can't survive, and you are our brains. As long as you are here, we, the Fantastic Four, still have hope. Johnny Stone, you have to think about the overall situation, don't worry about me
You're wasting your time." Graeme's body began to emit a lot of smoke under the high temperature, and the surface of the rock began to turn into magma and merged into the molten iron, but his two arms still tenaciously supported his body in the blazing heat.
Standing proudly amid the infusion.
"What a touching confession, John. They all hope that the other person will live. Just pick one, otherwise I will cry." Leslie covered her face but could not hide her ecstasy at all, "I will give you five more at the end."
seconds."
"five……"
"Four……"
What should I do? Should I... Johnny's mind has gone blank and his heart is ready to burst out. Should I...
"Leslie, you are going too far. How could you..." Jessica couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to step forward to stop her.
"Don't worry about it, Jessica. I'll settle the accounts with you later. If you say one more word, neither of them will be able to survive. Three--" Leslie was unmoved and followed seriously.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly returned to her joking expression.
"Two...there are only two seconds left, little John, is it family or friendship, but the brother-in-law doesn't seem to have any blood relationship, is he considered a relative? Hahaha..."
"One! Then I'll let them go together. It just so happens that we can have some company."
"Sister...brother-in-law, please let my brother-in-law go...I'm sorry, Ben, I...I'm sorry for you——."
