Chapter 141: Mouth-beating

"I managed to sneak into that SHIELD office, but damn, that's not even an office."

"There are many underground spaces inside. I dived into the bottom one. Guess what I saw?"

Upton du Pont did not keep the secret, but said directly:

"Red Skull! I saw Red Skull in a specially designed children's room, coaxing a black-haired little girl to sleep and telling her a story, a Hydra version of a fairy tale."

As he spoke, Upton reported to Fu Qinghai everything he had seen and heard in the secret base.

"Red Skull's daughter..."

Fu Qinghai frowned and pondered, then said slowly:

"Red Skull does have a daughter in the comics, Cynthia Schmidt, who was later named 'Original Sin'. She was the daughter of Red Skull and a laundry worker, who was matured using technology."

"But I am sure of one thing, Red Skull does not love his daughter, and will not tell her any bedtime stories."

Upton added:

"It's not over yet. After I saw the Red Skull, I kept trying to sneak out to inform you. I was wandering around in there, looking for a way to escape, and then I saw something else."

"A blue, glowing, translucent cube. I guess that might be the legendary Cosmic Cube."

Um!?

Fu Qinghai was shocked.

Upton said that he had seen the logo of AIM in the secret base, and the Cosmic Cube was a creation specially created by AIM to focus and utilize the power of the transcendental realm.

Infinity Gems is a concept that only appeared in Marvel relatively late. The early Infinity Gems were neither classified nor there were six of them. The very first Cosmic Cube was a divine artifact built to utilize the power beyond the gods. In the MCU, the setting of the Cosmic Cube being used to converge the power of the Space Gems appeared even later.

Fu Qinghai's mind was racing.

Red Skull → Pioneer Technology → Cosmic Cube → Black-haired little girl…the logical chain was instantly connected.

Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered the latest comic book event that he had seen in his previous life, which made Chris Evans, the actor who played Captain America, couldn't help but tweet and complain about it.

Secret Empire!

"So that's it, so that's it..."

Fu Qinghai's eyes were blank. He slowly leaned his back against the rubble and muttered to himself.

"What is that?"

Ron, who was covered in dust and dirt, asked curiously.

Fu Qinghai spoke calmly, explaining to Upton and Ron:

"That little girl is not the daughter of the Red Skull, but Kobik. She is the incarnation of the Cosmic Cube, a personality consciousness generated autonomously by the Cosmic Cube. She is very powerful and very dangerous."

Ron turned around and asked:

"How dangerous is it?"

"She can see my soul hidden in the plastic doll!"

Upton quickly interjected.

"Wow, that's pretty dangerous indeed."

Ron exclaimed.

Fu Qinghai couldn't help but be amused by these two people. He explained:

"Here's some basic knowledge for you. There are three major interstellar empires in the Marvel Universe: the Kree, the Shi'ar, and the Skrulls. The Shi'ar were originally just a group of wild birdmen. The Kree were once slaves of the Skrulls. In the early days, the Skrulls were the only dominant empire."

"Later, the Skrulls studied the power of the Transcendental Realm and created the first Cosmic Cube. After the Cosmic Cube developed a personality consciousness, it directly destroyed the Skrull Empire. The Skrulls never recovered from this, and then the Kree Empire and the Shi'ar Empire began to rise."

"Oh..." The two of them suddenly realized.

"Qingshan, what should we do now?"

Ron asked.

Fu Qinghai's eyes were as deep as the abyss, and he said slowly:

"I already have a rough plan in mind. We have a way to turn the tables in this round!"

After that, Fu Qinghai asked again:

"Upton, where are you now?"

"I'm hiding in that little girl's house and talking to you."

Upton replied.

"Okay, Upton, you completed your mission beautifully, far exceeding my expectations. You can return and reunite with us now."

"Roger that, Aoyama."

The ghost doll replied with a smile.

After finishing the arrangements for Upton, Fu Qinghai turned to Ron and said,

"Let's go to another place, a hidden place with a better view, and wait and see what happens."

Ron was a little confused. He saw Fu Qinghai holding a composite bolter and preparing to cause trouble for Captain America, but now he just sat back and watched.

However, Ron was already used to following Fu Qinghai's instructions. The two of them got up from the hidden depression in the ruins and prepared to find another place.

At this moment, a slight "click" sound, as if it was the sound of soles of shoes stepping on cement fragments, reached the ears of the two.

The two looked at each other, Fu Qinghai picked up the grenade launcher, and Ron's body was quickly covered with symbiote tissue. The two quickly rushed out of the depression in the ruins and looked outside.

A masked man wearing an old jacket and dirty jeans, holding a meat cleaver in his hand, was staring at the two of them blankly.

His mask was a slightly wrinkled gray-white latex mask that outlined the image of a man's face with deep nasolabial folds.

What the hell?

Fu Qinghai and Ron looked at each other again, both revealing confusion in their eyes.

The masked man raised the knife in his hand towards Ron.

"Bang!"

The symbiote slapped him to death without saying a word.

The two men came up to the body.

"Oh~"

Fu Qinghai suddenly realized.

"how?"

Ron asked.

Fu Qinghai said:

"Upton told me that the immortal from the Halloween universe was the reincarnation who acquired the latex mask of Michael Myers."

It was because this reincarnation repeatedly tried to break into an ordinary SHIELD office that Upton attracted extra attention. Then Upton followed this SHIELD office and discovered the secrets of the Red Skull, the Cosmic Cube and Kobik.

This guy, he might know something...

Fu Qinghai looked at the corpse and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Fu Qinghai ordered:

"Hate, eat his head."

The symbiote swallowed the human head and the latex mask in one gulp without hesitation.

"Ahem…"

The symbiote suddenly started coughing violently, and then "vomited" out a wet and rotten latex human face mask.

"There is something in this that I cannot digest."

Said the deep voice of hatred.

That's it, Fu Qinghai thought.

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

Although the symbiotes do not appear to be extremely powerful, they are indeed high-dimensional creatures that can sense the curse of eternal life in this mask.

Fu Qinghai squatted on the ground and thought for a while, then turned to Ron and said:

"Ron, don't come with me. I have another mission for you."

"What?" Half of Ron's face appeared in the symbiote.

"You stay near here, patrol this area, look for this guy with the mask, find him, and then kill him immediately, no matter how many times you kill him."

"He absolutely cannot take off his mask. Once he takes it off, he will really die. He cannot speak after putting on the mask, but you have to prevent him from passing the message out through certain means and channels."

"I guess this guy may have realized the secret of the Cosmic Cube earlier than Upton. No matter which camp he is from, he should be killed. This information can only be mastered by ourselves. Don't let irrelevant variables disrupt our plan."

Ron nodded solemnly: "Understood."

Then he asked,

"Are you sure he will be resurrected in this area?"

Fu Qinghai shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just guessing."

…

It is appropriate to send Ron out to hunt down the masked man. The symbiote can climb up and down and run in complex high-rise buildings and steel forests as if it were flat ground. It has strong survivability and excellent combat effectiveness.

Fu Qinghai found a vantage point in a nearby building with a good shooting angle and vision, and lay in ambush.

There are no buildings taller than the base building around the Triskelion Base, which may be some kind of protective measure.

Fu Qinghai had just set up his bolter on the fourth-floor attic of a villa and connected the metal link cable of the sight to the power armor. As a result, when he turned his head, he saw three women also sneaking out from the attic of the villa next door.

Damn, the ghost is still there...

Fu Qinghai immediately turned the gun and aimed it at the attic window next to him.

The three women also discovered Fu Qinghai. Chen Xinlu held a fan with golden and red lines in her hand. She stared at Fu Qinghai in the attic next door and said in a deep voice:

"Qingshan, you have to think it over carefully. You beat A-Xia so badly just now, but Xingxian and I didn't do anything."

The "Xingxian" she mentioned should be the black-robed witch, the one floating in the air playing with fire.

When Chen Xinlu said the words "he was beaten so badly", the tall woman next to her couldn't help but look at her with resentment.

Don't you even give face to your good sister?

Fu Qinghai said calmly:

"That's what she said herself. She wanted to settle the matter for you. Her original words were, no matter how dissatisfied or angry I was, just direct it at her, and she would take it. But now it seems... it seems that she can't bear my dissatisfaction and anger."

As he said this, Fu Qinghai sneered.

"With your level, don't pretend to be some underworld big sister who can help others settle things."

Hearing this, the tall woman glared at Fu Qinghai and said angrily:

"I said I wanted to fight you in a duel, so I won't make excuses for my failure. Yes, I am not as skilled as you and I can't beat you, I admit that, but what about your verbal taunts? Does a real man need to use vicious words to hurt others like you do?"

There was one more thing she didn't say: How could my Chen Xinxue, a famous beauty in the reincarnation world, fall for a man like you who has a sharp tongue?

Fu Qinghai smiled:

"First of all, it's not your turn to define the standard of a real man. Secondly, since you said that all my dissatisfaction and anger will be borne by you, then these words are also part of my dissatisfaction and anger. I was originally going to scold Chen Xinlu, but since you said you would take it for her, I can only use it to scold you."

"you..."

She-Hulk was no match for Fu Qinghai in the argument and was left speechless.

She changed her mind and said from another angle:

"Don't be too complacent. Don't forget that if Xiaolu hadn't pulled me back to my senses at the last moment, you would not be my opponent at all!"

"Heh." Fu Qinghai smiled disdainfully and said something philosophical:

"Can a power that cannot be completely controlled by oneself be called 'one's own power'?"

After hearing these words, the three women were all stunned.

This person has something else in his words.

The tall woman and the black-robed witch subconsciously glanced at Chen Xinlu, making the cold and indifferent lady with glasses look a little embarrassed.

First of all, the first meaning is that Fu Qinghai mocked She-Hulk for not being able to control her power after being angry, so this kind of power is not worthy of being called "her own power" at all, and it does not belong to her.

Secondly, Fu Qinghai knew very well that Chen Xinlu tried to pray for strength from Tzeentch and Nurgle in the Warhammer 40K universe, but was not only fooled by Tzeentch, but also suffered from a disease because of Nurgle, which probably cost a huge price to completely eliminate.

As Chen Xinlu's old teammates, the tall woman and the black-robed witch also knew that Chen Xinlu once prayed for strength from Dormammu and Mephisto in the Marvel 616 universe and learned black magic.

This indirect criticism is quite interesting.

At this moment, the three women reached a consensus at the same time:

You can fight this man, but don't argue with him anymore.

I'm so angry. It's so uncomfortable to be tortured by Yin and Yang.

Chen Xin gritted her teeth, her expression changing, and finally squeezed out a sentence:

"This is the Marvel Comics Universe. My magic is not suppressed at all. You can't beat the three of us alone. You know that well. For my sister's sake, no matter what camp you are in, we will not interfere with each other, humph!"

After saying that, Chen Xinlu turned her face away and angrily stopped looking at Fu Qinghai.

What Chen Xinlu said was indeed true. Fu Qinghai currently lacked the means to counter magic. Unless his Zhang Yuning could come here in advance to arrange the haunted house, Zhang Yuning was ridiculously strong in the realm of the two demon curses. Otherwise, Fu Qinghai could only rely on a first move to fight the mage.

Most mages are very fragile. Once Fu Qinghai discovers them and attacks them first, they are most likely to be dead. Their health and defense make it difficult for them to survive until the second round to counterattack Fu Qinghai.

After thinking about it, Fu Qinghai didn't like pinning his hopes of survival on a woman's inexplicable affection for him, so he quietly edited a text message and asked Zhang Yuning to come over.

Damn it, don't I have any teammates?

You three just wait, my strongest teammate is coming!

After sending the text message, Fu Qinghai crouched back to the sniper point, his eyes synchronized with the sight.

......

　Thanks to Bartholomew Xiong and It's Hard to Become an Immortal for their rewards.

　　I'm moving these two days.
