The Giants of Light in the Marvel Universe

Then there is only "that adult" behind Richard, and this is the part that Jin Bing is most worried about.Because judging from the information he collected, he felt that Richard's backstage seemed to be stronger than the Hand.

After a meal, Fisk seemed quite happy.He shook hands with Richard respectfully and politely said goodbye, and patted his chest to promise that when he got on stage, he would find him to solve any problems of the Daily Planet in the future.In this three-acre land in New York, sometimes he is more effective than the mayor of New York with his words.

Although Richard didn't intend to have anything to do with Jin at first, but of course the contacts sent to him are not in vain.So he also held Fisk's hand and agreed. When Fisk parted with him, he was extremely enthusiastic, as if the two were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Richard kept his expression on his face the whole time, but he had already burst into laughter in his heart.

Can you believe that Sha Fulin's stalking gold did not really buy it?

In fact, he really didn't want to tell this lie at first, because Fisk himself had to insist that he had some awesome backstage.Then Richard thought about it, since this is the case, why not make up a backstage according to his intention?

Richard found out that these days, no matter good people or bad people, everyone just prefers to listen to lies rather than the truth.He said that he really has no background, and Fisk would not believe it no matter what.Then he casually said that he was backed by "evil Saffron", and Fisk immediately believed it

Anyway, there is no harm in making a background.As soon as the news spreads, gangsters like the Green Snake Gang will be wary of making trouble for them in the future. Richard himself can save a lot of trouble, so why not do it?

In addition, Richard also admitted that for a moment just now, he really wanted to play the meme of Saffron.

Chapter 23 Surprisingly Big

Bakers Water Works.

Zach Marks is a maintenance worker at a water plant in his tenth year, and he knows the plant is more than three times older.

Since many years ago, there have been some rumors of infiltration in this water supply plant.If you talk about it in detail, it’s actually not a very new story, it’s just like the rumors that are often circulated in old hospitals and old dormitory buildings, saying that there are evil spirits living in those crumbling buildings.

Zack felt that probably all buildings in remote locations like this would have such a story when they reached a certain age, which was used to scare newcomers and children.Old Zach never believed in those ghosts and gods. He thought those horror stories were nonsense, and they were all things people made up to scare themselves.He has worked in this water supply plant for ten years, and he knows every shadow and every corner of this place like the back of his hand. He can walk across the entire plant with his eyes closed. What is there to be afraid of?

It's two o'clock in the morning, and he is leading a newly transferred newcomer to carry out pipeline maintenance.Earlier, there were low, strange noises from the water pipes, and creaking sounds like old wooden doors. It sounded like something was about to be broken by a heavy weight.

Zach had never seen anything like this before.Is it the water pressure?

The rookie who followed him was shaking like chaff the whole time, and couldn't even hold a flashlight steadily.He kept whispering: "It's a long tongue monster, it must be a long tongue monster"

Zach asked, "What's the tongue monster?"

"Haven't you heard of it?" The newcomer looked at him unexpectedly, "There have been a lot of rumors recently, saying that there is a monster with a long tongue in this area, and it comes out to do evil at night. It only preys on lonely passers-by, with its long tongue Once rolled, people are sucked into the darkness where it lives and devoured, leaving no bones left.”

Zach rolled his eyes.

Do young people these days believe in this?Really useless.

"Relax, brat, it's just some plumbing failure," Zach said, looking around with a flashlight. "We just need to find out what the problem is now, and then we can be okay?"

Zach froze.

He pointed the flashlight at a certain place in the pipeline, and slowly approached it.

In the golden light, he seemed to see some kind of liquid. He wasn't sure if it was a liquid, but it was something dark and slimy, slowly dripping from the pipe to the floor.

Zach had never seen this kind of thing before, but at this moment, he suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition for no reason, as if every cell in his body was instinctively warning him of the danger that was close at hand.

He felt like a sheep facing a lion.

Richard sat up suddenly in bed.He gulped air into his lungs, panting like an asthmatic.

He was sitting on his bunk, and the electronic clock on the bedside table stopped at 02:11.

He was awakened by a nightmare.

It was such an abstract nightmare that Richard wasn't even sure what he was dreaming about.He only remembered some sporadic sounds, and some image fragments of unknown meaning.He remembered what seemed to be a rather dark space, with convoluted pipes all around, perhaps a factory of some sort.He remembered a bloody mouth with a bloody smell rushing towards his face, and remembered whip-shaped things flying in the dark air, like ferocious snakes.

He still remembers the screams, the heart-piercing screams, like the sounds of despair that can only be made when a person is afraid of breaking the limit.

Then he realized something else.

Richard caught his breath and held out his palm.A faint white light lingered in his palm, gradually condensing into the shape of a white stick.

Evolving trustees.

Just now, his power of light has been upgraded.

Now, the Evolution Truster is shining like never before in his hands, and the dark green light in its dark core is flickering and flickering.Although it was a very hazy feeling, he seemed to be able to clearly feel every flicker of light with his own body, as if something was calling him.

Almost instinctively, Richard got up, changed his clothes, grabbed the evolution trustee and left the house.

2:35 a.m., Bex Water Works.

The cordon was pulled up, all irrelevant personnel were cleared, and the entire water supply plant was immediately blocked.Several transport planes with the eagle emblem of S.H.I.E.L.D. were parked in the open space outside the water supply plant, and a Quinjet fighter remained in the air and was on alert in the air.

S.H.I.E.L.D. senior agent Phil Coulson, wearing his signature suit, watched as S.H.I.E.L.D. agents jumped off transport planes armed to the teeth.The leader of the team happened to be the agent Ward Grant who went to the Planet Daily with him last time for questioning.

Like everyone else, Ward was also wearing a black combat uniform dedicated to Aegis, holding a submachine gun in his hand.He walked up to Coulson: "What's going on inside?"

"'Longtongue' appeared," Coulson said. "Two workers were involved."

Ward frowned: "Are you kidding me?"

"Unfortunately, no." Coulson said solemnly, "We have been paying attention to the rumors of this 'long-tongued monster' for a while. Although it is absurd, it is a fact that people keep disappearing. There is something quite dangerous hidden in this place. We have to deal with it carefully.”

Ward glanced at the entrance of the water supply plant behind the blockade: "And now that thing is inside?"

"This is something our experts are trying to determine, should be soon"

"It's in there."

Before Coulson finished speaking, a black doctor in a white coat came over with a tablet computer in his arms, with an unbelievable expression on his face: "You won't believe this. The thing hidden in this has very Incredible vitality, I've never seen a reading like this and you guys should look at this, it's a thermal image."

He handed the screen in front of the two of them, and Coulson and Ward leaned closer together. There was only a big red area in the screen, and nothing could be seen.
