What is it like to be summoned as a giant?

Chapter 318 May the light be with you

Tang Lin didn't know that the Thor and Loki he was looking for didn't fall into Gu Yi's hands to play free fall, but were captured by the hell lord Mephisto.Mephisto is definitely not Odin's opponent in his heyday, but now that Odin is dying, he would be so angry that he would have a cerebral hemorrhage after arguing with his son, and he might not be able to beat Mephisto.

Mephisto probably also sensed something in the dark, and when Thor and Loki came to Earth, he kidnapped the two Asgardian princes.It's hard to say for the time being what it will be useful for, but with these two key figures in hand, it will definitely be of great use in the future.

If it weren't for the big problem this time, Mephisto would really be reluctant to let Loki out.

In fact, Mephisto has more than just Howard Stark, the Ghost Rider, but almost 100 years ago, his son Witch Heart Demon ran away from home with a group of demons.The Witch Heart Demon's prestige is not low, and it immediately pulled away most of Mephisto's elite.

Over the years, Howard Stark's main job was to help Mephisto hunt down and kill these fleeing demon subordinates, which was considered a remarkable achievement.But also because of this, Mephisto really can't get any available manpower now, and can only rely on Howard Stark and Loki to support the scene.

Mephisto sent the two of them directly to New York, where they appeared in a dark alley amidst flames.

As soon as he stood still, Howard Stark said to Loki: "We don't have any clues now, we need to investigate. You'd better change your clothes, this clothes are too conspicuous."

Loki said disdainfully: "Why do we Asgardian gods dress like the mortals of Midgard? Why don't we just kill our mortals when we see them?"

Howard Stark sneered and said: "You really look down on human beings. Do you think you can do whatever you want in New York? Once you make a big fuss, S.H.I.E.L.D. will make it difficult for you to move. At that time, you will also expose your position to Our target knows that even Mephisto is afraid of an opponent, if you are willing to be a bait, I will not stop you."

Loki thought for a while, but felt that it made some sense.

The real trouble this time is that the unknown enemy wants to be the bait himself?Rocky absolutely could not agree, who knew if he would be slapped to death.Loki used to think that his father Odin was invincible and his brother Sol had a lower IQ, so he should be the second best in the world, so it would not be too miserable for him to hang out with these two.

The ghost knows that after they ran to Midgard, they were devastated everywhere, and they were cleaned up several times. In the end, Mephisto took advantage of them and arrested the two brothers.Loki's arrogant personality has been slightly restrained, and it seems a good choice to go undercover with Howard Stark.

Therefore, Loki cast a spell to change the Asgardian costume into a relatively gorgeous dark green suit. Although it is still very conspicuous, it will not be regarded as playing cosplay.

Compared with Loki, Howard is much more low-key. He wears a hat to cover his white hair, and he is dressed in ordinary clothes, which is inconspicuous at all, but the contrast is very strong when standing next to Loki.

Howard Stark snorted unhappily, the character of this slut was very much like his son Tony Stark.But even at this time, Howard Stark could only say one thing in his heart: "Cub, Dad is very disappointed in you."

"Where are we going now?" Loki asked.

In Loki's view, he is just a foreign aid, and Howard Stark is Mephisto's confidant and is more familiar with human society, so Loki let Howard Stark make up his mind.

"Mephisto didn't give us any clues, only said that the demon is in New York. I need to find some friends and see what happened in New York recently, and then I can deduce where the demon is hiding. Come with me, I know there's a place near here where we can stay for a while."

Howard Stark took Loki out of the alley, surrounded by low-rise bungalows. This is obviously the very famous Hell's Kitchen area in New York. Compared with the adjacent bustling Manhattan, it looks dilapidated and backward.There is a wall between heaven and hell, which is a true portrayal of America today.

Howard Stark was once a capitalist and the founder of the country's most powerful spy intelligence agency. He had a clear vision of America's future.

The gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger, the social order is gradually collapsing, and it can barely maintain the size of a superpower by sucking blood from other small countries. Once there is any serious natural disaster or man-made disaster, this country will quickly collapse at an alarming speed .

It's just that now he can't protect himself, so it's not the time to think about it.After walking a few hundred meters with Rocky in Hell's Kitchen, they came to an inconspicuous bar.

The name of this bar is very common, it is called a late night bar, but there is a very interesting mural on the outer wall.

It seems to be the Prometheus in Greek mythology. In the myth, in order to bring wisdom and civilization to mankind, Prometheus stole the divine fire from Zeus and taught mankind to cook with fire.But in this painting, Prometheus is holding an auger and drilling wood to make fire, and Zeus behind Prometheus is holding the lightning, with an embarrassed expression of not knowing whether to strike it or not.

Loki doesn't know much about the myths and stories on the earth, so he naturally didn't find the stalk of "how to steal fire if you know how to make fire", so he just followed Howard Stark into this bar.

Pushing the door open and entering, an unpleasant smell came over his face, a mixture of vomit and low-quality alcohol, which made Loki couldn't help but cover his nose.

The bar is not big, and there are not many customers. The drunks in twos and threes are so drunk that they fall asleep on the table.

There was only one bartender in the entire bar, and he was standing behind the bar wiping glasses.

Howard Stark didn't seem to see this, he went straight to the bar and said to the bartender, "Two glasses of Giant's Drink."

The bartender raised his head, glanced at Howard Stark and Loki, and then asked with a smile: "You are very unfamiliar, this is your first time here? Where did you come from?"

Howard Stark replied calmly, "I came after the light."

Hearing this, the bartender seemed to pause for a while in wiping the glass, and then asked in an incomprehensible tone, "It's night now."

Howard Stark went on to answer: "The sun is below the horizon, and you can see the light when you catch up."

Hearing this, the bartender finally pointed the glass in his hand, and said respectfully: "Please follow me, two, there is a suitable box behind."

Howard Stark naturally did not refuse, and followed the bartender to the back door of the bar with Loki.

Passed through a wine warehouse and came to a brick wall.The bartender pressed a certain brick on the wall, and there was the sound of gears turning. The wall soon opened a secret door, which seemed to lead directly to the ground.

Then, the bartender said to Howard Stark: "Dear Sunstrider, welcome back, may the light be with you."

Howard Stark also blessed a saying: "May you be bathed in light soon."

After finishing speaking, Howard Stark walked towards the secret door. Although Loki also walked down, when the secret door behind him was closed again, he finally couldn't help asking: "Stark, where is the secret door?" Where exactly is it?"

"This is a safe house and information exchange point of the Sunstrider organization." Howard Stark said, the two had reached the end of the passage, which was a wooden door covered with masks.

Howard Stark took off the two masks from above, handed one of them to Loki, and said, "Bring it on to get in."

"Sunstrider organization?"

Loki took this mask with a special pattern, and always felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he asked himself that he was not familiar with the history of the earth, it should be just an illusion.

Putting on their masks, the two pushed open the wooden door and came to a brightly lit hall.This hall is quite luxurious. It was dug out of the ground with a height of five or six meters and an area of ​​more than one thousand square meters.

It's just that there are not many people in such a huge basement, only a few sporadic people who also wear masks are talking secretly in the corner.

Howard Stark took Loki to a small box and sat down, and soon a waiter wearing a mask came over to greet him.

"May the light be with you, what do you need?" the waiter asked.

"I want information from S.H.I.E.L.D. for this week, at least level [-], and then drink two glasses of Giant's Drink." Howard Stark said.

"Please wait."

The waiter simply left the box and brought a tablet computer and two glasses of wine that looked like muddy water in a short while.

Howard was not polite, picked up the cup and took a big gulp, then picked up the tablet and swiped it, carefully looking at the records on it.It was also at this time that Loki discovered that the mask was made very delicately, and the mouth part was actually movable, which would not hinder eating at all.

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip for himself. Despite the ugly appearance of this wine, it looks like muddy water, but the taste is very mellow. It seems to be a mixture of several wines, with a little maple syrup sweetness.Loki, who grew up in Asgard, thinks this wine is good, so it can be seen that this glass of giant's drink has a very good taste.

When the wine was half drunk, Howard Stark handed the tablet in front of Loki.

"It seems that this is our goal." Howard Stark said seriously.

Loki took a look, and the tablet showed a strange man wearing a cloak and a mask. The photo was very clear, so Loki could clearly see the texture of the man's clothes, and naturally he could also see the mask on his face. pattern.

"Is this pattern also from your Sunstrider organization?" Loki asked in surprise.

Howard Stark shook his head and said: "The Night Dogs have investigated, so they should not be members of the organization. The oldest organization of the Sunstriders can be traced back to 3000 years ago. This kind of mask has appeared in ruins all over the world. .Although there are not many handed down, it does not mean that it is unique to our sunstriders, and may be inherited from other civilizations."

Even for Asgardians, 3000 years is a very long time. 3000 years ago, Loki was still a kid, and he couldn't remember if he could speak at that time.

"How are you sure this person is our target?" Loki asked cautiously.

"Because he just appeared two days ago and has a close relationship with SHIELD. Just today, because of him, SHIELD dug out the coffins of me and my wife. Then, my wife's soul was taken from Murphy Stowe snatched it in his hand, no matter how you think about it, it can't be a coincidence.

"There is another reason, he came from you Asgard. Mephisto said that the target of stealing souls is likely to be the same demon as him, but I don't quite believe it. Mephisto is the Lord of Hell , There shouldn’t be any demons stronger than him. But it’s hard to say in Asgard, this is a race that Mephisto is also very afraid of. Maybe there is some special way to steal my wife’s soul. "Howard Stark analyzed.

Having worked for Mephisto for more than 20 years, Howard Stark is no longer the playboy who only knows how to play with technology. He has spent a lot of time learning magic and understanding the mysterious world. For planes like the Nine Kingdoms The structure is not unfamiliar either.

"Impossible, I grew up in Asgard and never met this person." Loki retorted.

Anyway, he is a prince. Although he is not very popular, Loki's understanding of Asgard is not fake. If there is someone with such a special appearance, it is impossible for him not to have seen him.

Sol and himself have been under the management of Mephisto for two years. Asgard will definitely send someone to look for them, but there are so many warriors in the Hall of Valor, it is impossible to send a weird person who I have never seen before.

"But according to the information at hand, he did come to Earth through the Rainbow Bridge, and his purpose is to find the two princes of Asgard, Thor and Loki, the god of tricks. Loki, you say you don't Know this person, is he a helper that Odin invited from another dimension?" Howard Stark asked.

"This, it shouldn't be possible. My father is such a proud person. This is Asgard's internal affairs. He shouldn't ask outsiders for help. Unless this person is very close to my father. But, I I haven't seen this person since I was a child, so I really can't figure it out." Loki said with a frown.

From childhood to adulthood, Loki always felt that Asgard was out of tune with him, as if the entire Asgard people discriminated against him secretly, as if there was something hidden from him.Now there is an unknown stranger, which deepens this suspicion.

"Whether you know it or not, we must act, and now go find the whereabouts of my wife's soul." Howard Stark said.

"Do you know the location?" Loki asked.

Howard Stark's tone was a little trembling, and he said calmly: "Of course, this weirdo is now living in my son's house."
