The era of American comics begins

Chapter 336 Ghosts
A ghostly phantom penetrated the wall and came to a dark laboratory.Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be a woman—or should be said to have been a woman.But now her hair is disheveled, her face is sallow and haggard, she is dressed in white, and her whole body is like a vague ghost, like a female ghost with an indeterminate soul.

She floated into the lab and made her way to a stack of metal boxes stacked in a corner - exactly the same box that had turned up in the hands of the wharf gang earlier.She unlocked the lock and opened the lid, and a cloud of white mist gushed out of it.White light was released from the box and gathered behind her, gradually forming another transparent outline.

A man in a state similar to hers, with a ghostly face.

The moment he saw this "female ghost", he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lucy? It's you? God, look at you, what did he do to you?"

Soon, he also noticed his abnormality.

"No." He looked at his looming palm and gritted his teeth. "Where are the others?"

The female ghost he called "Lucy" pointed to the metal boxes behind: "Like us, we are trapped in our own cages. I know this is confusing, but now we must cheer up, Hugo .”

"Brace yourself? Look what we've become, Lucy!" cried Hugo anxiously.His eyes darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, "Look at what he did to us! He has to pay, Lucy. We have to find him. We've probably been locked inside for hours."

"Hugo." Lucy looked at him sullenly, "...we've been locked up for many years."

The two ghosts opened other chests, releasing more people in similar condition to them.Everyone's reaction was similar - shock, rage, disbelief.It is difficult for them to accept the fact that they have disappeared from the world for many years, and it is even more difficult for them to accept their current state of living dead.Almost everyone had to curse at the guy who had betrayed them and brought them to this place, until the center of anger spread to Lucy.

"It's not only his fault, but also you, isn't it?" one of the ghosts said to Lucy coldly, "We trusted you so much at the beginning."

Lucy sighed, "It's not my fault."

"Not yours? You shouldn't be tinkering with that "Dark God Book" from the very beginning, it's something you—perhaps any human being—can't understand."

"He's right." Hugo also agreed, accusing Lucy, "It all started because you were so obsessed with that broken book."

"And that 'broken book' is the only thing that can help us now." Lucy said impatiently, "That book can help us change back to how we were."

"Or help you regain the power you didn't get last time."

"We can't find it anyway." Hugo snorted, "He has been ahead of us for so many years, we have no chance."

"We'll find the book," said Lucy coldly, "and then we'll kill him, and anyone who tries to stop us."

***
Los Angeles, Tianjian branch.

Daisy was lying on the white bed with her coat removed, and a group of medical staff were examining her.Bored, she looked up at the bright light tubes on the ceiling until the automatic door of the infirmary opened and Wanda walked in with her arms folded.

Daisy shifted her eyes to Wanda: "How is it? Did you get any results from the lab?"

Wanda shook her head: "No. They opened the box, but there seemed to be nothing inside. Now they are trying to scan it with a bunch of precision instruments, and maybe there will be results later."

She paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "But are you okay? I saw you were beaten badly before."

"It's not very comfortable, but it's not that I haven't suffered worse." Daisy shrugged indifferently, and then her expression became serious, "But that thing... I have to say, I was really scared at the time, almost peeing in fear Kind of."

Wanda expressed understanding: "Yeah, I was also scared when I saw that."

Ghost Rider, the main target of their investigation on this trip.Not long ago, they actually encountered that thing, and it was even more impressive than they expected.

Especially Daisy, the few rounds of confrontation between her and the Ghost Rider were really like walking through the gate of hell. The suffocating burning feeling is now lingering on her body like a hallucination, and it will not go away for a long time .Fortunately, Wanda stepped forward in time and knocked the Ghost Rider down into the water with Chaos magic.But after that, he disappeared without a trace, and the branch sent follow-up search troops to search for him along the coast for a long time, but there was no trace of him.

"Drip drip"

The communicator on Wanda's wrist rang.She glanced at it and said to Daisy: "It's the boss, maybe he's asking about the status of our mission. I'll be back soon."

Daisy nodded and closed her eyelids tiredly.Wanda exited the room and connected to the communication in the corridor.

"boss?"

"Are you investigating the 'Ghost Rider' case?" Michael asked straight to the point.

"Yes." Wanda asked, "Boss, do you know him?"

"Know a little." Michael on the other end of the communication narrowed his eyes and asked, "So did you find him?"

"Well, but we don't know who or what he is yet," Wanda replied, "but we did have a face-to-face with the 'Ghost Rider'. Daisy fought directly with him and got a little bit injured , is now being inspected in the Los Angeles branch. We also brought back a box from the scene. Although it seems that there is no problem with it, it always gives me an ominous feeling.”

"box?"

"Yeah, a metal box. A local mob boss wanted this, and he said it supposedly had power 'beyond human comprehension' or something. When he opened the box, everyone in the room went crazy. We pulled guns at each other and wanted to kill each other, Daisy and I had to stop them. Now the box is in the laboratory of the Los Angeles branch, and the researchers here are working on it. But when they opened the box, they found that there seemed to be nothing in it "

"Did you enter the scene immediately after the box was opened?" Michael interrupted suddenly.

"Going in. What's the matter?" His tone made Wanda feel a little uncomfortable.

"Stay there and stand by." Michael said in a non-negotiable tone, "I'll go there now."

After speaking, the communication was hung up.Wanda was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled.

Sure enough, is there something tricky about that box?

Clang!

The sound of breaking glass startled Wanda.She took a step subconsciously, and saw a medical staff member smashed through the window of the infirmary and was thrown out, hitting the wall of the aisle hard.

It's Daisy.

She was the one who shook the medical staff out of the room with shock waves.
