[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

"How are you doing recently? Is someone messing things up?" Shen Yanzhou took a sip of the alluring purple cocktail, turned his head and asked Caliban who was sitting next to him.

"No one has been here since you," said Caliban.

"That time was really an accident." Shen Yanzhou shrugged. "Who told you to send someone to follow me."

"I heard that Professor X also went to look for you." Caliban lit a cigarette, and the spirit butterfly on the side gave him a dissatisfied look. Caliban immediately raised his hands in surrender and stifled the cigarette. "How does it feel to face the most powerful mutant in the world?"

"Hmm..." Shen Yanzhou thought for a while, "Very good."

Caliban was puzzled: "What is very good?"

"He looks good." Shen Yanzhou said seriously.

"..." Caliban was speechless, but Lingdie nodded in agreement: "I agree with this, but you are not bad either."

"I'll return this sentence to you, Miss Lingdie." Shen Yanzhou looked at Lingdie with a smile.

Caliban: "..."

Okay, okay, you all look good, and I'm the only one with a bald head who acts as a [-]-watt light bulb here!

"But he is indeed very powerful." Shen Yanzhou said.

"If you are in a match, what is your chance of winning?" Lingdie is obviously more interested in combat.

"Hmm..." Shen Yanzhou thought for a while, and then said seriously: "It's hard to say, I don't know his full strength, the last time we met, I just made a tentative attack. But he looks really good. Not like the strongest mutant."

His mind pictured Charles sitting in a wheelchair, looking too weak to be vulnerable.There was no trace of aggression on the opponent. Compared with the title of the strongest mutant, Shen Yanzhou felt that he was more like a gentle priest, watching the world that showed cold hostility to him with eyes that could tolerate all darkness.

"I think, apart from Magneto, I am afraid that no one in this world can truly defeat him." Caliban said. "If Magneto took off his stupid-looking helmet, he probably wouldn't be a match for Professor X."

"What about the assassination?" Shen Yanzhou said. "Approach him when he is unprepared, and then stab him... It's impossible for him to have abnormal physical strength, right?"

"He can read your murderous intent before you get close." Lingdie said.

"Then we should be thankful that such a mutant is a peaceful faction." Shen Yanzhou raised his glass.

"What about you?" Caliban asked suddenly.

"What's wrong with me?" Shen Yanzhou asked suspiciously.

"What is your attitude toward humans?" Caliban said. "I don't think I've ever asked you that question."

"I...well, actually, I recently got involved with the Avengers." Shen Yanzhou said. "So I should be considered a pro-humanity faction?"

"How did you get involved with the Avengers?" Caliban wondered. "You didn't go to the headquarters to grab something, did you?"

Caliban is very familiar with Shen Yanzhou's habit of collecting all kinds of powerful looking treasures. After all, most of the information is passed from him to Shen Yanzhou.

"In your heart, I am such a person." Shen Yanzhou glanced at Caliban, with a heavy tone.

Caliban: "..." Aren't you such a person!Putting on this grievance, those who didn't know really thought it was him, Caliban, who was spitting blood!

"They do have some good things." Shen Yanzhou said softly, thinking of the scepter that was placed in the research room. "However... it is not an easy matter to snatch it over."

"You don't really have this plan, do you?" Lingdie asked in surprise when she heard some information hidden behind Shen Yanzhou's words. "I don't think you can single out the entire Avengers."

"One-on-one is definitely unbeatable." Shen Yanzhou deeply agreed.

Caliban immediately alerted: "Don't think about us helping you fight the Avengers! Don't even think about it!"

Shen Yanzhou: "..."

Seeing Shen Yanzhou's mentally retarded expression, Caliban knew that he was thinking too much, so he immediately coughed lightly in a disguised way: "No matter what you want to do, be careful anyway."

Shen Yanzhou, who knew this guy's businessman nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm, felt a little funny: "Don't worry, anyway, even if I really want to find someone to help fight, I won't look for you. If I want to look for it, I have to look for Lingdie."

Lingdie remained expressionless: "Then you have to prepare enough money."

Caliban, who was despised by the value of force, looked disdainful: "What I have is more valuable than combat power."

"Yes, information." Shen Yanzhou nodded. "This is the real purpose of my coming to you today. Having said that, I haven't thanked you for the information about Hydra last time, which helped me a lot."

"Then you should be ready to pay." Caliban said indifferently.

"Talking about money hurts feelings." Shen Yanzhou sighed.

"Talking about feelings hurts money." Caliban rolled his eyes.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business." Shen Yanzhou didn't hold back, and almost laughed out loud. "I recently discovered a very magical thing, but I don't know what its origin is, please help me find out."

With that said, Shen Yanzhou took out a piece of paper with a scepter drawn on it with a pencil.

"..." Caliban looked at the scepter and was silent for a while, as if he was recalling the information about the scepter. After a long time, he slowly said: "You know that a wormhole was opened on the head of Manhattan last time, Did a lot of aliens come down?"

"Of course I know." Shen Yanzhou nodded.

Caliban stuffed the paper back into Shen Yanzhou's hand, and stood up: "Wait here, I'll go find something."

After finishing speaking, Caliban left the bar, walked up the stairs on the side, and walked towards the second floor.

Lingdie looked at the scepter drawn on the piece of paper, and narrowed her big eyes full of mature charm: "Where did you find all these weird things?"

"It looks quite elegant, doesn't it?" Shen Yanzhou didn't answer Lingdie's question, but changed the subject.

Lingdie rested her chin on one hand, and a purple light flashed on the other hand. In her hand, her thoughts quickly transformed into the shape of a scepter, which was exactly the same as the scepter drawn on the paper.

"It's really nice to draw on paper." Lingdie looked at the scepter in her hand. "But when you hold it in your hand, it feels pretty stupid."

"Maybe it's not suitable for you." Shen Yanzhou said, Lingdie is good at using any cold weapon, and the scepter, a weapon similar to magic, obviously doesn't suit her style of painting.

"Then what weapon do you think is suitable for me?" Lingdie gently squeezed her hand, and the scepter formed by the purple thought power turned into broken light and disappeared in her palm.

"Wu|Shi Dao." Shen Yanzhou said in a positive tone.

"You know I like samurai swords the most?" Lingdie raised her eyes, her long eyelashes casting tiny shadows on her purple retina.

"I don't know." Shen Yanzhou shook his head. "It shows that we have the same aesthetics."

"I dare not say that I have the same aesthetics as the great painter." Lingdie showed a very shallow smile, which made her look even brighter and more attractive.

While speaking, Caliban had already walked down the steps, holding a few photos in his hand.He sat down beside Shen Yanzhou again, and spread out the photos on the table.

"Look at this." He pointed to one of the photos. The photo was not very clear, but he could still see a tall, thin man dressed like a man from Earth, wearing a helmet with two antlers, standing in the Avengers Building Attic, with a scepter in his hand, Tony Stark stood not far from him in his armor. "Is this the scepter you drew?"

"Yes." Shen Yanzhou identified it carefully, then nodded. "Who is this guy?"

"Since you have a relationship with the Avengers, you should know Thor, right?" Caliban said.

"Yeah." Shen Yanzhou nodded, even if he didn't know the Avengers, he still knew superheroes like Saul who sold figurines on the streets and alleys.

"This guy is from the same place as Thor," Caliban said. "His name is Loki. The alien incident in New York should be planned by this guy, and the scepter is his thing."

"Loki..." Shen Yanzhou repeated the name. "What is the function of this scepter?"

Caliban shook his head: "I don't know about that, but Loki should have the ability to control the mind, and this ability is probably given to him by the scepter."

"Control people's mind..." Shen Yanzhou immediately thought of the mutant girl who attacked him in the Hydra base.

"Why did you suddenly remember to ask about Loki's scepter?" Caliban asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious." Shen Yanzhou didn't tell the truth, but passed it on vaguely. "So is there any news about Pokémon recently?"

Caliban showed an expression of "I knew you wanted to ask this", and casually threw another photo in front of Shen Yanzhou: "Look at this photo."

Shen Yanzhou took the photo, which was a piece of metal with blue light, which looked full of mystery, like an extraterrestrial meteorite wrapped in infinite power.

"What is this?" Shen Yanzhou asked. "A meteorite? Or something like a new element?"

"This thing is called Zhenjin." Caliban said word by word. "It's a good thing that attracts people to snap up. I heard that Magneto is also interested in this."

Hearing Magneto's name, even Psylocke, who had been lacking in interest, raised his eyes and looked at Caliban.

Shen Yanzhou nodded and fell into deep thought.

Caliban waited for a long time without waiting for Shen Yanzhou's reaction, and finally asked a little unbearably: "Are you not interested in Zhenjin?"

Shen Yanzhou's expression remained the same, but his tone was a little puzzled: "I was just thinking, since you know the clues about Zhenjin, aren't you afraid that Magneto will find you?"

Caliban sneered disdainfully: "He can't find me here. After all, not everyone is Professor X, who can use his brain to connect to all mutants in the world."

"Why would Magneto want a piece of metal?" Psylocke asked.

"This is no ordinary piece of metal," Caliban said. "It contains a very wonderful power, can absorb energy, and has many uses-for example, weapons made with it will be infinitely stronger than ordinary weapons."

Shen Yanzhou lowered his head and looked at Zhen Jin's photo in detail, feeling a little interested in his heart.

The function of strengthening weapons is somewhat similar to that of scepters.According to Tian Yanbi, there is not only one super energy body in this world, so the metal with similar abilities may be another super energy body.

"I'm a little interested." Shen Yanzhou looked at another photo about the scepter, and put it together with Zhen Jin's photo. "Tell me everything you know about Zhenjin."
