Chapter 8 3 Mountains Overseas
Penglai is a different space outside the earth, a place outside the world where Jiuyou is sealed.
It is isolated from the world, and together with Lingshan Mountain and Shushan Mountain, it is also known as the Three Overseas Mountains.
And they have only one responsibility, to suppress Jiuyou.
"So, this is what you came to New York for a year ago."
"Looking for senior brother?"
When Tony learned about the role of the Three Overseas Mountains, he felt that his outlook on life had been impacted like a meteorite falling.
It was obviously a pleasant conversation at the beginning, but why did it suddenly take such a big turn?
So much so that he was silent for a long time before asking a new question.
"Does your senior brother know how to surf the Internet?"
With Jarvis here, there were very few things that Tony didn't understand in this era. Even if it was a confidential military document, he could read it at will as long as he was careful.
But as Lu Xixian tells it, a new worldview is taking shape, overthrowing the old worldview and throwing it into the trash.
"Senior brother's cultivation is higher than mine, even far better than our master's"
"Two years ago, he killed the master and opened part of Jiuyou's seal."
"During follow-up tracking, I discovered that he may be hiding in New York."
"So I performed on the streets during the day to earn some living expenses, and at night I tried to find out about him."
Tony nodded as he looked at the surveillance camera that Jarvis called. Indeed, as the other party said, he could still see the other party's clumsy figure on the surveillance camera on the street corner.
A person who is curious about everything is indeed different from Lu Xixian now.
It's hard to imagine what the other party has gone through this year. It is estimated that the other party's outlook on life is more broken than his.
Tony thought so.
"It's a bit troublesome to be honest, but I'll try my best to help you."
"As you said, this senior brother of yours is not a good person."
After going through some transformation, Tony's inner sense of responsibility is growing day by day. Moreover, the name Jiuyou does not sound like a friendly organization.
"But you have to be careful, my senior brother is proficient in illusions and formations."
"At the same time, he also took away the secret technique inside the door before defecting."
"According to your current strength, you may only have the option of killing him with money."
Now Tony has just returned from Afghanistan, and after closing the weapons department, a lot of troubles are waiting for him, which has also made his armor research very slow.
"If it were before, I wouldn't refute your last sentence."
"But it's different now. Come on, let me show you something good!"
Just when Tony was showing Lu Xixian the latest results, on the other side of Afghanistan, in a ruined base, Obadiah covered his mouth and nose and looked at the messy scene in front of him.
Broken walls, human tissue scattered everywhere, and he seemed to smell the smell of barbecue.
In front of him were slightly messy armor parts.
"You mean, that's how he escaped from here."
"And your men can't even stop you?"
The mercenary leader in charge of this place spat without hesitation. To be honest, if the other party didn't have the final payment, he would have shot the other party's head to pieces. No one dared to talk to him like this.
"You won't see it for yourself"
"Also, you have to pay me the compensation for my dead men."
"At least five million dollars!"
Haha, Obadiah put down his hands and laughed softly.
Then he raised his head and looked around. There were nearly thirty well-armed mercenaries around him.
But all this seemed like trivial matter to him.
"Hey, the divine envoy is right, force is the foundation that determines everything."
"What did you say!"
"I said, are you ready to go to hell!"
Bang, a cluster of blood mist exploded in front of them, followed by an earthquake-like roar, followed by screams one after another.
And in the middle of the desert, a black elephant like a tower was trampling wantonly.
Stark Building.
In the office downstairs, Pepper rubbed her eyes and looked away from the report. Stark Industries stopped the research and development of the weapons part, which brought a huge workload to her.
The market value of the entire industry has suddenly shrunk by more than half. Now Stark Industries is in a precarious state, and only one trivial mistake will destroy it.
But at this moment, several acquisition proposals suddenly appeared in her private messages, and then countless messages began to flood the screen.
After she finished reading them one by one, Pepper said in disbelief.
"Is he crazy? Acquiring his own stocks?"
"No, he's cleaning out the board, but where's the money coming from?"
Just as she was thinking about this, Pepper found an account appearing on her phone. When she finished checking it, she looked at the numbers on it for a long time.
Finally, Pepper sighed helplessly, feeling that her previous efforts were in vain.
That damn man has thought of everything.
"Damn it!"
Just when Pepper climbed to the top floor and was about to settle the score with Tony.
At Matt's house, Luke and the three of them have gathered here.
"I got some information"
"About those orcs"
Luke hung up the phone and said to the two of them.
He bought a piece of information from a broker, which contained several videos.
The three of them could say that they had gained a little from last night's operation. What was unexpected was the new orcs that appeared, and what was not surprising was that it was indeed Jin Bin's work.
This person is like a radiation source, affecting the land all the time.
It is precisely for this reason that the original goal of the Defenders was to overthrow King Bin and send him to Bitter Water Prison to spend his remaining years.
In the living room, as the TV was turned on, Luke adjusted the video tape, and then the screen began to flash.
Although the picture was not very clear, the three of them still watched it carefully.
"It's a tombstone!"
"Here, it's such a big tiger, it's actually as big as an elephant!"
"Tombstone's ability is about the same as mine. Even he can't stop this monster. It would be difficult for me to do it."
"Is this, Mr. Negative?"
"Yes, there are puzzles and owls."
"Look carefully, Hammerhead is here too."
In just ten minutes of video, the amount of information was indeed exceeding the standard, and all the gang leaders in New York appeared on the scene.
"What is Kingpin planning to do? A gang gathering?"
"No, I think we should catch them all in one fell swoop and completely consolidate our position."
"You two have also seen that his new subordinates are ridiculously strong."
Turning off the TV, the three of them were silent for a long time. Things were a little tricky this time.
Several people in the Defenders are not ordinary people, and each of them has extraordinary abilities.
Luke has a body as strong as steel. He can physically intercept even missiles, and he also has super strength.
But he also has shortcomings. He is slow and can only be beaten passively.
The same is true for Jessica. Although she has the ability to fly and has inhuman strength, she suffered psychological trauma in her early years and is a little afraid of purple. Kingpin is aware of this weakness.
As for Matt, he is the most ordinary in comparison. In addition to having radar-like perception, a bullet is enough to kill him.
Even for Matt at this moment, the injury from last night has not healed yet.
But these difficulties did not deter the three of them. After a brief discussion, they decided to start with the homeless people.
They first need to determine where the homeless people are going.
Matt suspects that these missing persons may be the key to discovering the identities of the orcs.
At the same time, Lu Xixian said goodbye to Tony and walked home.
As he walked, he recalled the conversation the two had just had and considered the flaws in it.
Tony Stark was not an idiot, and Lu Xixian didn't think that the other party would believe his words. It seemed that the two of them had a pleasant conversation just now, and maybe the other party was frantically collecting information at the moment.
Everything must have a trajectory, and all strategies are not perfect.
But Lu Xixian also has his own confidence.
One of the rules of the illusionist is to never underestimate your opponents, but never overestimate their strength.
Lu Xixian is not from this world. No matter how much they investigate, others cannot understand his origins.
He can be the descendant of Penglai, a magician on Broadway, and the black hand who controls everything.
"It's time to make the situation chaotic. These lucky people are too troublesome, so don't give them time to think."
Asking Dan Chenzi on the other side to prepare for action, Lu Xixian's eyes inadvertently looked at the black vehicle not far away.
As his vision penetrated, he saw a familiar person among them.
"Phil Coulson, the mayor of Novice Village, you came a little late."
Squatting down, Lu Xixian teased Bomei beside her, and couldn't help but think in her heart.
In the surveillance car, Coulson looked through the car window at the young man not far away. This magician, who became increasingly famous after performing on Broadway, was his new target.
Before that, the other party's files were not noticeable.
But as the other party became friendly with Tony Stark, the other party's information was also obtained, and then they discovered many strange things.
"Nineteen years old, obviously with an oriental face, but his nationality is actually Greek."
"Is it because it's easier to get fake certificates there?"
"And a year ago, this person had no information at all, neither a birth certificate nor any insurance."
"It seems to have fallen from the sky!"
"Weird, very odd"
The pencil in his right hand scribbled on the folder, and Coulson's thoughts came to a standstill.
"Forget it, let's complete the task first."
"Hummingbird Team, please answer what you heard, how is the surveillance arrangement?"
"Sir, everything is set up."
"receive"
Outside, Lu Xixian had already gotten into a taxi. Judging from the direction of travel, it should be heading to Chinatown.
"Follow up"
Colson said.
The black car merged into the traffic flow and followed closely behind the white Chevrolet.
The curtain has been raised and the personnel are in place.
Now all that's left is for the show to begin.
In his personal workshop in Stark Tower, Tony said as he watched the figure flashing past on the three-dimensional image.
"Jarvis, go back ten seconds, yes, go forward a little!"
"Sure enough, this person really exists, and he is in New York."
On the three-dimensional image, a man wearing a white robe is walking in the air. Every step he takes seems to have a fulcrum of nothingness, helping him to walk in the sky as if flying.
The other person's face is very young, but his eyebrows look unusually old. The combination of the two has a strange feeling of contradiction.
At the same time, a pair of blood-red eyes simply glanced in the direction of the surveillance camera, but this scene made Tony tremble a little.
It was like seeing a natural enemy.
That is a kind of oppression of the soul.
"I started to believe what he said."
"Go on, Jarvis, let's see the details of this foreign visitor."
"Yes, sir"
