Chapter 69 The Butcher Hunting Superheroes
Eagle Country, Southern Louisiana, New Orleans.
A large number of police cars surrounded a pub, with neon police lights flashing continuously. Although the police had set up a cordon and dispatched multiple police officers to maintain public order, a large number of people still gathered outside the door.
They gathered curiously outside the cordon, each one stretching his head to look inside, trying to find out what was going on inside, including many tabloid reporters. In New Orleans, a relatively peaceful city, this Such a major case can definitely increase their newspaper sales a lot.
From the outside, the tavern had been completely destroyed. Not only was the door blown to pieces, but even the windows were smashed. Countless glass fragments were scattered on the ground, and spider webs appeared on the walls. of cracks.
Obviously, if someone didn't drop a bomb here, it must have something to do with those superpowers.
Inside the tavern, Cable's expression was ugly. Although he had already prepared for the worst on the way after receiving the information, his face was still gloomy when he saw the scene inside the tavern with his own eyes. Come down.
On the largest table in the tavern, a man was lying on his back with a dead look on his face. Everyone could recognize his identity at a glance. He was the Gambit King of the X-Men.
Gambit's real name is Rimi Etienne LeBeau. He was a professional thief before awakening the mutant gene, and also worked for some villains. However, when he lost his memory and awakened, he could inject energy into objects and then detonate them. After gaining super powers, he corrected his evil ways with the help of the X-Men.
It is unimaginable that such a superhero from the X-Men would be killed in the street at this moment. His signature weapon cards were scattered on the ground, and many cards were even stuffed into his mouth by the murderer. And in On his chest, his own cane penetrated his body and stuck straight into it.
This is not the first superhero to be killed. Although being a superhero involves countless villains and there is a risk of dying on the streets at any time, the fact that several heroes died in a very short period of time is still It attracted the attention of interested people.
The first victim discovered was the Black Widow. She lost contact during an infiltration mission. When others found her, they only saw her body hanging in the air. The murderer seemed to be showing off his power to them. .
Later, the bodies of invulnerable black heroes Luke Cage and Iron Fist were also discovered.
Although these two people are not as famous as first-line superheroes, they are not something that ordinary people can kill. But when their bodies were discovered, everyone was surprised to find that their deaths were extremely miserable, as if the murderer was someone who liked killing. Like a cruel butcher.
Moreover, he is also a villain who specifically targets superheroes.
Nick Fury, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D., reacted quickly. He first used his influence to suppress the news of the superhero's sacrifice. This was to prevent the public from falling into panic. At the same time, he secretly A team was formed to investigate clues about the murderer.
As a future person, the superhero Cable is the first helper Nick Fury finds. This is not only because of Cable's powerful force, but also because of his excellent insight and experience in performing tasks.
In addition to Cable, this team also gathered many capable heroes, including the Punisher, Moon Knight, the second generation Hawkeye Kate Bishop, and Jessica Jones, a relative of the previously killed superhero. and Misty Knight.
These heroes may not have the superpower to destroy the world at every turn, but their sense of smell for crime is extremely sensitive, especially street heroes like Moon Knight and the Punisher. Their detective abilities are not inferior to any well-known detectives.
"I hope we can find some clues quickly. Strictly speaking, we shouldn't be here. Time is running out. We have to find something useful before the military takes over this place." Cable looked at the tragic situation in front of him. Said in a deep voice.
"I remember this person should be an X-Men, Samus, do you have any impressions?" Moonlight Knight asked. He has always acted alone, so he doesn't know much about other superheroes and groups.
"Yes, I recognize him." Cable nodded and then said. "But we are not close, and this guy has a complicated background. He was even a criminal earlier."
"Indeed, what those criminals hate most is people like him who have reformed their evil ways, and he originally belonged to the Thieves Guild, right? Is it possible that they did it?" The Punisher also made a guess.
"It's worth investigating, but I don't think so. The Thieves Guild is just a loose small organization. They can hardly make any waves, and they don't have the ability to carry out several other murders. After all, Luke Cage and Iron Fist are not ordinary superheroes."
After exhaling, Moon Knight picked up a card stained with blood. The blood drops crossed the clown's smiling face on the card, and Moon Knight murmured to himself. "Trust me, whoever did this"
"He enjoyed it to death!"
On the other side, in Brooklyn, New York, Zhang Yi and the others had just checked in to rent a house.
Although the three of them are shady people without any identity documents in this world, the saying "money can make you a devil" is no joke. With the gold mountain left by the old Bruce Wayne, Zhang Yi quickly convinced They met the money-worshiping landlord and received a check-in package on the spot.
Coming to a new world, and a world with countless superheroes, the three of them would definitely be lying if they said they were not excited. Even Kara, who had always been a little indifferent, began to become curious about this world.
After all, she was only a fifteen-year-old child before she came to Earth, and the battle between justice and evil only appeared in her story books. When these stories actually appeared in front of her, she was instantly attracted by these superheroes. attracted by his deeds.
"Let me say it first. From now on, you'd better not use your superpowers casually, especially Pietro. You are the one I'm most worried about." Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Yi immediately opened the door to the two of them. Got up for a while.
"Ah? What's wrong with me? I've always been obedient." Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Pietro jumped up immediately, with an expression like how could you doubt me so much.
"We can be considered brothers who have experienced many things together. I don't know you yet?" Zhang Yi was not affected by Pietro's reaction at all. "Among the three of us, you are the most dishonest. In the last universe, you couldn't sit still. In the last universe, you even ran out to steal things while I was sleeping."
"Ahem, I, I didn't count that as stealing." Pietro was speechless when Zhang Yi exposed his old background, and his rebuttal voice became smaller and smaller.
"I'm warning you, Pietro, there are superheroes in this world, and your speed is simply not fast enough in front of them. Moreover, our identities must not be exposed before the safety of this world is determined. I can I don’t want to be targeted by the superheroes and supervillains of this world.”
"I know, why don't I just be more honest?" Pietro covered his face.
"And one more thing, there is a peer of yours in this world, that is, another Quicksilver. I don't know if you two look alike, but you'd better put on a disguise when you go out, don't get caught. People recognized it.”
Pietro's head sank even lower, and after a while, he wailed softly.
".Know it!"
