Later, he learned that this is Egypt, and this small town is near the ruins of the pyramids that once collapsed in ancient Egypt.Knowing the news, Huode had a way to get rich flashed in his mind. The nobles of the empire had already passed the era of showing off gems and porcelain. With the opening of the colonial era, the interests of the nobles also changed.
They prefer to collect precious ancient utensils from various countries. The older and more exquisite the ancient utensils, the more valuable they are in the aristocratic circle, and they will also be appreciated by other nobles.According to his understanding, some of the ancient objects passed down in the aristocratic circle were passed down to the ancient Hua Kingdom, and some were passed down to European countries, as well as the countries in Central Asia and West Asia.
Of course, there are ancient Arabian and ancient utensils from ancient India and Persia, which are highly appreciated among the nobles.Most of the goldware in ancient Egypt are very exquisite, and they are also very popular among the aristocratic circles. The young Hodder started to think about the ancient ruins.
Relying on his unique communication ability, Hodder tricked half of the town's residents into digging for the treasure of the ruins.In that ruins he did find treasures, all kinds of gold and treasures.Originally, Huo De's idea was that he would cheat all these treasures by then.
But another thing dug out from the ruins changed his mind.This is a gold book made of gold leaf. The residents of the town don't know the value of this book. In their opinion, goldware still depends on its weight. The book made of gold leaf in Huo De's hand is not at all valuable.
Chapter 1 The Secret of Immortality
Although Huo De, who turned the pages of the book, could not understand the ancient Egyptian characters, he saw very strange patterns and an image of two people. The painting on the picture was two people lying on the stone slab. The two were very unremarkable.
However, two arrows are drawn on the top of the head and the bottom of the feet of the two people, one pointing from the head of this person to the head of the other person, and the soles of the feet pointing to the soles of the feet of the other person, intersecting each other.
Hodder, who found this book strange, lost his desire for wealth. He began to seek local old people who knew ancient Egyptian characters, and asked them about the meaning of these fonts.Hodder, who finally fully translated the book into English a year ago, was almost crazy with joy.
Maybe he thought he was going crazy, because this book was not a historical classic or a biography, but about soul swapping and the secret of immortality.
However, Hodder, who has been influenced by the new era, has forgotten this weird and unreliable thing every few years. Two years later, he left Egypt and returned to England.
After that he lived a comfortable middle age. When he was 50 years old, he left England with his wife and son. Now he is a Commodore.Called by the military, his warship escorted five immigrant ships out of the port and crossed the Atlantic to the North American continent on the other side.
Here he spent his old age of war and strife. In the beginning of this land in North America, there were always an endless stream of native Indians attacking them. Maybe the navy under him was a headache, but he was a general, and he still lived very comfortably.
His wife died when he was 60, and his son left him shortly after he joined the army. At the age of 90, he has retired.He witnessed the establishment of the empire in this land of North America, and the establishment of America in this land. He even served as the governor of a state.
When he felt that his life was gradually coming to an end, he suddenly remembered the strange book he had found in far away Egypt, and he flipped it out.
The desire to survive hidden in the depths began to grow, and he began to follow the steps in the book to start his evil sorcery.He was originally a believer in Christianity, but now he is desperately throwing himself into the arms of Satan.
He ordered someone to secretly tie up a white boy in the jurisdiction, and put him on the evil altar without mercy, while lying next to him.
Afterwards, he succeeded, as described in the book, his soul was replaced by the young man's body.The young man's appearance began to change, becoming Hodder's youthful appearance, and the young man's soul entered into the body Hodder had abandoned.
Within a few days, the young man died in Hodder's body.And Huo De began to feel his brand-new body, this feeling is like replacing a private car with a sports car, except that the steering wheel has not changed.
In order not to arouse suspicion, he secretly resigned as governor and changed his name at the same time.Those who have seen his secrets have been secretly dealt with by him.Hodder, who recovered his youth, continued to rely on his business experience to rise again, but with another identity, he quickly became a celebrity in the United States and a philanthropist in everyone's eyes.
Afterwards, he began to change this body constantly, but he was very cautious, and he acted strictly according to the instructions in the book every time.The replacement body must be of the same bloodline, that is to say, the person he will replace next time must be a relative of this body.
This made him deliberately get close to this poor family, and he secretly funded and protected them.
Huo De was very lucky. He replaced his body several times, and one of them accidentally discovered that the body of the other party had a magical ability that ordinary people could not control, that is, mutants. Among the people he replaced, one of them was a mutant. people.He also obtained this ability, and what he didn't expect was that the next replacement, the super power of the last replacement, would also pass along with it in the next replacement.
With superpowers, he creates more wealth one step at a time.He lived for hundreds of years, witnessed the Civil War, witnessed the First World War and the Second World War.
In his latest body replacement, he replaced the blood that the family continued, and it was a female, but because magic can change the body image after replacement, there is no worry at all.
But he failed. He had never replaced a woman before. After this replacement, although the body was changed, the aging degree of his body was also replaced.His age has not changed, he is still the same.
However, he knew that this woman had another son and daughter, and Huo De, who had learned the lesson, clearly shifted his target to her son.Just as he was about to do it, something happened to the woman's husband, everything about him was annexed by the government, and Hodder also hid abroad. "
"Hodder is you?!"
Liu Sheng said in amazement, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong: "You said that you can only replace the body of the same blood, why is your current body the body of a Chinese?"
"Hey, it's not easy, this body is in the same condition as you!" Huo De sneered endlessly: "The father of this body is a direct descendant of this family, and the mother is a Chinese who smuggled here at that time. Two people with such a big difference in status People, but in the end they fell in love inconceivably, is this the same as your experience?"
"You must know that the reason why your father created such a huge foundation in such a short period of time is all because of my secret help, otherwise he is just a bug!"
"Since people of the same blood can be replaced, why don't you replace your son or grandson? Strictly speaking, they are all of your blood, right?" Liu Sheng yelled, after knowing the other party's purpose, and because his body couldn't move at all It made him even more anxious.
"Do you think the bodies of gamma-level mutants that are almost beta-level are attractive, or the bodies of ordinary mutants?"
"Is he also a mutant?" Liu Sheng looked at Du Fuhui not far away.
Huo De didn't answer Liu Sheng, and immediately waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, the spell has been engraved, so we can start!"
Liu Sheng's eyes widened, and he found that not far away, Du Fuhui had indeed stopped drawing.
"Wait! Why... Isn't he already killed by me?"
In order to delay time, Liu Sheng yelled hastily.
"Killed by you? Who are you talking about? My son?"
"That's right! Isn't his body right on the stairs behind me?" In order to delay the time as much as possible, Liu Sheng deliberately slowed down his speech.
Chapter 86 Investigation Team
Different from Yagyu's relaxed freehand brushwork, at the same time, the Brooklyn slums in New York are still as usual here, with decay and stench in the air, which can be seen in the eyes of people squatting on both sides of the street, nothing but despair!Deep despair!The kind of despair that has become completely numb to life.
The man in dark blue with a five-pointed star embroidered on his chest and a helmet is walking in this slum full of despair, looking at the people around him, this place is no better than the bustling downtown, no better than the rich and comfortable Manhattan, Queens, It's just the filthiest and poorest part of Brooklyn.
The shield in his hand was also pinched white because of the scene he saw at this moment. He always felt that he was saving the world and fighting criminals.
Right now he seems to feel like he's missing something...
"You seem surprised Steve? Everywhere is dark and dirty, even New York. Don't pity them, they're just a bunch of poor people who have lost their desire for life."
Rogers just nodded slightly to Hawkeye's answer, and he knew this too, and he had seen this situation many times before, the kind of despair that completely lost confidence in life.
"This is not the justice of your era!" Hawkeye said bluntly.
"Don't you just ignore it? What does the government do? Isn't it to make everyone's life better?" Rogers frowned and wondered.
He didn't seem to have such a concept before. In his opinion, at that time, every time he went to the battlefield, everyone was a friend, a family member, and a relative.Every time I retreated from the front line and returned to the urban area, I always saw urban residents who quickly surrounded me.There is always a look of hospitality on their faces.
At that time, it was true that because of the outbreak of war, the loss of the front line was huge, and the rate of personnel loss in battle was high. There were almost no idle people on the street, which also greatly stimulated people's production.
The same kind of slums like today are very rare, because most of them were affected by the war at that time, and the poor were either on the front line or busy on the construction site, and everyone had a job that belonged to them.
But the current society has basically reached a nearly saturated level in terms of jobs and personnel needs, and naturally many poor people in slums have been born.
"The government only controls the general situation. What do you think the government is? A nanny?" Hearing this, Hawkeye became even more contemptuous.
Rogers frowned, and didn't speak. He was very repulsed by this kind of behavior in his heart. He looked at the homeless people along the way with some embarrassment, and Rogers could only sigh secretly in the end.
The two were walking slowly in the alley, both of them were wearing distinctive clothes, one was holding a shield, and the other was carrying an arrow basket.
"According to our information, two rather bizarre cases happened here a few days ago, and one of them is here!" Hawkeye was standing at the end of the alley at this time, and even after several days, traces could be vaguely seen on the ground. Quite a large bloodstain.
"The blood is very messy. The other party should have been tortured to death before he died!"
He knelt down and touched the traces on the ground, looked around as Hawkeye continued to analyze, there were bloodstains on the ground around him, and even the walls were spattered with blood.
Rogers nodded affirmatively on the side. Hawkeye is indeed an elite agent, and he is still very sophisticated in analyzing things.
