Chapter 130: Phone Call in the Toilet

After revealing their inner feelings to each other, Justine curled up in Fu Qinghai's arms like a wounded kitten.

The 1.77-meter-tall American hottie only looks like a kitten when she curls up in the arms of the 1.9-meter-tall Fu Qinghai.

At this moment, the phone vibrated.

Fu Qinghai picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Qingshan."

It was Upton du Pont.

"I'm in Trenton right now."

"Trenton, why did you run so far?"

Fu Qinghai was surprised.

Trenton is a small town near New York. Fu Qinghai remembered that not long after he left the laboratory, Upton went to other cities.

At this time, the plastic ghost doll was hiding in a cubicle in the public toilet, holding a mobile phone that was as big as a tablet computer in his hand. He looked around vigilantly and whispered:

"Damn it, don't mention it. I was lying on the side of the road eavesdropping on the conversation of homeless people, and a little girl picked me up as an unwanted doll."

"The family was driving to Trenton, and I was carried into the car by the little girl. I was just about to find an opportunity to jump out of the car halfway, but guess what, I overheard the conversation between the couple."

"These two are actually employees of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Upton recalled what had just happened and felt extremely miserable.

He was picked up by a little girl who had just learned to walk and was still babbling. In her parents' car, the little girl kept pressing herself, moving her arms and legs vigorously, and babbling something to herself.

Upton was extremely anxious. He was afraid that the cell phone he had hidden in the back pocket of his overalls would be discovered by the little girl and then by her parents. He would then have to kill the girl to silence her.

As a result, along the way, two middle-aged men and women in the front row were chatting, and the content of the conversation actually attracted Upton.

"I think I figured it out. They are low-level clerks in a S.H.I.E.L.D. office in Trenton. They were talking about a strange thing that happened recently."

Upton said:

"There was a guy wearing a gray and white latex mask who tried to break into this S.H.I.E.L.D. office and was shot dead by security."

"Then the next day, he showed up again and tried to storm the SHIELD office again. This time he killed the security guard, but was killed by the Secret Service agents who arrived later."

Fu Qinghai asked doubtfully:

"You didn't kill me the first time?"

Upton said slowly:

"I thought so at first, but from the conversation between the couple, I learned that because SHIELD is a secret organization, after failing to identify him, the security personnel placed his body and the mask in the crematorium inside SHIELD and destroyed them. They never sent him to the hospital morgue."

Since they were all thrown into the crematorium, that rules out the possibility that they were not beaten to death.

"Then on the third day, he showed up again, still wearing the gray-white latex human face mask, this time carrying a weapon, killing one Secret Service agent, injuring another, and then being shot dead again."

Fu Qinghai frowned slightly and guessed:

"Is this gray-white latex human face mask a symbol of belief or some kind of cult? Members of the organization are wearing masks one after another and fearlessly attacking the SHIELD office? Are they trying to express some kind of appeal, or are they performing some kind of religious ritual?"

As someone who came from the cruel and dark Warhammer 40K universe, Fu Qinghai has seen a lot of such acts of seeking death without taking one's own life seriously, and he immediately thought about this aspect.

"No."

In the toilet cubicle, Upton shook his head slowly:

"Every time SHIELD kills this person and removes his mask, it's the same person underneath. Not only does he look the same, but even his height, weight, fingerprints, and pupils are exactly the same. They're not even twins. I know this is contradictory, but they... are the same person."

"Not only that, he reappeared on the fourth and fifth days, each time trying to break into the office in a different way. Once SHIELD tried to capture him alive, he committed suicide."

"If SHIELD had left his body alone, he would have woken up in the morgue."

What?

Fu Qinghai couldn't figure it out.

Immortality?

The plastic ghost doll said slowly and solemnly,

"I think he might have run into someone Zhang and I are traveling with."

"What's the meaning?"

"A fellow traveler from the horror movie universe."

Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice:

"Which universe?"

Upton said word by word:

"'Hallowed in the Moonlight'."

…

"Tsk…"

Fu Qinghai sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding the phone to his ear in one hand and stroking Justine's back in his arms with the other hand, as if he was stroking the fur of a little wild cat.

Fu Qinghai is not a senior horror film fan like Zhang Yuning who has watched countless films and conducted in-depth research. He has not watched many horror movies.

But after Upton reminded him, he remembered it.

Halloween is a classic horror film series by the master of grotesque horror art John Carpenter, starring Michael Myers, a masked killer who specializes in murders on Halloween.

Fu Qinghai glanced at the calendar, but it was still quite early to Halloween.

Fu Qinghai asked,

"And then, does he keep showing up?"

"After the fifth failed attempt to break in, he disappeared and has not been seen since."

"Okay." Fu Qinghai understood, and then said into the phone:

"Find a way to sneak into that office, Upton, and see whether this base really belongs to SHIELD or Hydra. This way you can determine the camp of this immortal masked killer player. But I estimate that it is most likely to belong to Hydra. Nick Fury no longer uses any SHIELD personnel or facilities. He only trusts the Avengers and the reincarnations in the SHIELD camp."

Upton nodded and said:

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant. I'm going to stay with the little girl and make good use of this clerk couple to find a way to sneak into this office and see what's attracting that player."

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, Qingshan. I've been away for too long. If I don't go back, the child will cry, and this will attract the attention of her parents."

"Okay, be safe in all your actions."

Fu Qinghai hung up the phone.

This group of guys, who are known for being unreasonable and illogical, have also come to the Earth-36 Universe.

This is the third reincarnation whose abilities come from the horror movie universe that Fu Qinghai has seen after Zhang Yuning and Upton.

Fu Qinghai sighed in his heart and looked down. Justine, who was lying in his arms, was breathing evenly and her back was rising and falling slightly.

Fu Qinghai smiled and said nothing. He gently picked up the beauty and placed her on the sofa. Then he stood up and walked to the other side of the living room, near the backyard swimming pool.

Fu Qinghai made a phone call and after a few rings, the call was connected.

A lazy and cold female voice, as if she had just woken up:

"Hello?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It's me. Do you know the horror movie series "Halloween"?"

Zhang Yuning's first reaction was also:

"Isn't today Halloween?"

"It happened a while ago, but it wasn't on Halloween."

As he spoke, Fu Qinghai repeated Upton's discovery to Zhang Yuning.

"Hmm..." Zhang Yuning pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone and said:

"In my impression, the protagonist Michael Myers in the movie is very strong. Not only can he be resurrected, but ordinary bullets hitting his body cannot affect his movements. Even injecting strong acid into his body only makes him slow for a moment. Did Upton tell me how the SHIELD people killed him?"

"No." Fu Qinghai said, "But you have to consider one thing. SHIELD is an agency that manages supernatural and superpower matters. The weapons they use are not necessarily ordinary weapons."

"Um."

Zhang Yuning agreed and continued:

"In the later movies, it seems that the murderer is related to some ancient Celtic curse, and that he must kill all of his direct blood relatives to break the curse, but it was just mentioned casually. I'm sure the movie didn't give a specific solution."

It's very reasonable and gives a solution to crack the resurrection. How can this movie have a sequel?

"Okay, I understand."

Not getting any more information from this veteran horror movie fan, Fu Qinghai hung up the phone and sat back down on the sofa.

A person who cannot die, if he is just an ordinary human who is a little bit tougher but does not have any ability to fly, escape the ground, or use plasma or hot melting, even if he is from the opposing camp, he will not pose any big threat to Fu Qinghai, so Fu Qinghai did not take it too seriously.

Unexpectedly, just as Fu Qinghai's butt touched the sofa, the phone started vibrating again.

Fu Qinghai picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Ron?"

Ron Benzim's deliberately lowered voice came from the phone:

"Qingshan, I'm in a Turkish kebab restaurant in Queens. Haha, guess what, I've connected with the players from the Hydra camp. They are having a secret meeting here. I'm hiding in the bathroom and talking to you now."

Fu Qinghai thought to himself, you two brothers are really interesting. You both like to hide in the toilet to make phone calls.

Fu Qinghai said: "Why does it sound unreliable to me? You got in touch with the players from the Hydra camp so easily? Did they believe your words so easily?"

Ron said proudly,

"I told them I was a friend of the White-Armored Dragon Slayer, and they accepted me."

Fu Qinghai: "…"

You're amazing, Ron Benzim.

Ron continued:

"Not only did I say I was your friend, I also shared with them some of the intelligence information you gave me about Hydra, such as who are the people in the Hydra Supreme Council. Then they believed that I was in the Hydra camp."

Well, that makes some sense.

Ron seemed to have become smarter, Fu Qinghai thought.

Ron said quickly:

"But Qingshan, you have to come here now and prove it to me. I told them that you are my good friend, but they didn't believe me."

Fu Qinghai: "...Okay, I'll come over."

Fu Qinghai thought that he hadn't found other players in the Hydra camp, so he went over to meet them and exchange some information to see if they knew what the "big plan" that Dr. Zora was talking about was.

Ron added:

"You have to come here in armor, otherwise they won't believe you are a dragon slayer."

Fu Qinghai said unhappily,

"I would have come here wearing armor even if you hadn't told me. Who knows if they were players from the SHIELD camp who tricked you."

Fu Qinghai stood up from the sofa, patted Justine's perky butt, and said:

"Stop pretending to be asleep, wake up, I'm leaving."

Justine Hammer turned over and sat up from the sofa, blushing and saying:

"I'll wait for you at your apartment tonight."

Fu Qinghai walked out of the living room and paused, without looking back, he said lightly:

"Just do what you need to do. Don't wait for me. You know I won't buy it."

Looking at Fu Qinghai's departing back, Justin murmured to herself:

"Qingshan, so your name is Qingshan..."
