The era of American comics begins

Chapter 339 Accident
Years ago, a certain room was buried in a putrid, cobweb-covered basement.

It was here that Lucy and her husband Joseph found the book, the book that changed everything and for them it all started.After years of tossing and turning, the couple searched for various clues (in the end, it must be attributed to their good luck to a greater extent), all of which finally led them to come here, dug out from the ground the unknown and dust-covered treasure. How many years of divine books.

"Dark God Book".

It is said that countless generations of people have searched for it in history, and there are even famous people in power and some capable people among them. However, it has been a while since this book appeared in the long river of history last time.This book is said to have surpassed the limits of human comprehension, and the things it records are so mysterious that they have stepped into the realm of gods.The legends about it are so exaggerated that most people who have heard of it will not believe it.

But "The Book of Darkness" is true, which has been proved by the joint efforts of Lucy and Joseph.They dug out the book with a dark cover from the dusty basement with their own hands, and the couple were so excited that they could hardly help crying.After so many years of searching, so much energy and resources, everything finally proved to be worthwhile.

They held each other's hands tightly, held their breath, tried their best to suppress the excitement overflowing their chests, and opened the dark title page together in the basement with the flashlight.

Then what appeared in front of them were two blank pages.

The two froze for a moment.Immediately before they had time to react, words and patterns began to slowly emerge.Those technologies that are far beyond the boundaries of the imagination of modern scientists—maybe even beyond the imagination of all future scientific workers are narrated in this book in a silent way, and the words emerge line by line. The announcement of any technology is enough to cause a sensation in the world.

"I didn't expect that the "Dark Book of God" would be written in German." Joseph exclaimed.

Lucy was taken aback: "Wait what are you talking about? I'm obviously reading English."

The two looked at each other in surprise, and then returned to the book together.

"Could it be possible?" Lucy's voice hesitated, and she seemed to find this possibility unbelievable. "Your mother tongue is German, Joe. My mother tongue is English. Maybe from another perspective, it's not us. is reading the book, it is reading us."

"Dr. Lucy used to be a Ph.D. at the Power Lab in Pasadena, and her husband, Joseph, was her boss."

Michael explained the ins and outs of this ancient story to Wanda and Daisy.

"All of this stems from a book, a book that is said to be able to give anyone supreme power and infinite knowledge, known as the "Dark God Book"."

"What a rustic name." Daisy complained.

""Dark God Book"." Wanda repeated the name in a murmur, frowning slightly.

She had clearly never heard of such a thing, but for some reason, when she mentioned this book, she felt a subtle feeling in her heart, as if she should have known about this book.

"No one knows what is recorded in the "Dark God Book", and I have only heard of this name in some ancient books. But any book that mentions this book is sure to say that it is a book that records the gods. and almost all of them warned that this is a book that humans should not touch. The content displayed in the "Dark God Book" varies from person to person, and it can be easily read by anyone, teaching them Forbidden knowledge. But without strong enough willpower, anyone who touches this book will be transformed by it. This book will become the only thing that matters in their life, their thirst for knowledge and power will surpass everything else."

Daisy hugged her arms: "It sounds amazing. It's also quite annoying."

"So what does this have to do with this box?" Wanda asked puzzled, looking at the metal box on the table.

"I'm explaining," continued Michael, "Dr. Lucy and her husband Joseph are the last two people in history to own this book. Without exception, they are equally deeply involved in this book and cannot extricate themselves from it." They were obsessed with the power of the "Dark God Book", and the team led by Dr. Lucy began to conduct unprecedented research in accordance with the instructions of this book.

Originally, they might have really succeeded, if it wasn't for someone in the team to have a different heart.

They built a machine according to the instructions of the "Dark God Book".According to the team's original plan, the machine would give Joseph invincible power, the power to create something out of nothing, giving him the ability to create anything out of thin air.But what went wrong in the end was that someone on the team got jealous of Joseph and wanted to take that power for himself.The man attacked everyone else on the team, threw them all into the unfinished machine, transformed them into a ghost-like spirit state and locked them in specially-built boxes."

"Wait, wait a minute," Daisy made an interrupting gesture, looking at the opened empty box beside her with an unbelievable expression, "You mean, what's locked inside...is the real one." ghost'?"

"Yes. And I believe that what was locked in the box before us is Dr. Lucy. This is the image of you at the pier that night."

As Michael said, he stretched out his armored right palm, and the projection screen was released from his palm.The picture freezes at the scene where Wanda and Daisy jump into the warehouse to join the battle.Through image enhancement processing, they can now clearly see the upper body of a female ghost with disheveled hair floating behind Daisy, and the lower body is like a translucent phantom.

Daisy gasped, folded her arms, "God, I'm getting goosebumps."

"It's this thing. Dr. Lucy, she caused Daisy to have the same symptoms as before?" Wanda asked.

"That's right. After becoming this brand-new state, Dr. Lucy seems to have acquired a special ability, which can cause dark energy to flow into the human body just by touching, causing the infected person to appear in a state of high fear and continuous hyperactivity. Like Daisy did before."

"So, if I were Dr. Lucy," Wanda mused, "if I've been imprisoned for so many years, the first thing I would do would be to seek revenge on the guy who did this to me." .You must already know who that is, right?"

"Eli Morrow, he is serving his sentence in prison. Shirley just sent me his address a minute ago." Michael paused, looked at Wanda, and said, "Shall we go together?"
