At this moment, in this place.
The Invisible Empire, the Knights of the Star Cross was officially established!
Although there are currently only two members, Lord firmly believes that in the near future, the number of members will gradually increase until it transforms into a true invisible empire!
But there is one problem that needs to be solved.
Quincy is different from the Shinigami and Hollows in that they are not in the state of souls, but humans with physical bodies that can be seen by ordinary people!
Therefore, before Jessica and Matt have grown up, they cannot be exposed to the public too early, especially the Luodan who has persecution delusions.
Just like the invisible empire in the original work is hidden in the shadow of the Seireitei where the Shinigami lives, the Star Cross Knights, who are currently relatively weak, also need to hide in the shadow of others for the time being!
But where is the right address to choose?
Just when Lord was troubled by this, he suddenly saw the dead Purple Man, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind: "Matt, how much do you know about the opponent?"
"Many, they and I are old enemies." Matt's eyes dimmed slightly, thinking of his ex-girlfriend, and his mood suddenly became a little low: "Lord Hasward, are you interested in joining forces?"
When talking about the Hand, one woman cannot be avoided—Erica!
She is Daredevil Matt's ex-girlfriend. The two separated due to different ideas. But when they met again, Erica had been brainwashed by the Hand and turned into a ruthless killing machine!
Although Matt broke into the Hand several times with the intention of rescuing Erica, he ultimately failed due to lack of strength. On several occasions, he almost died at Erica's hands.
"Just right."
Lord's delicate facial features showed a kind of indifference, and he said in a calm tone: "I have a small matter that I want to talk to them about. Can you lead the way for me?"
Matt saw the flash of murderous intent in Hasward's eyes, and was suddenly shocked. He quickly said: "Lord Hasward, the Hand is very powerful. If we rush in rashly, something will happen." Unexpected!"
Since he had broken into the Hand headquarters many times in order to save Erica, he knew better than anyone else how terrifying that professional ninja killing group was!
In Matt's view, although Hasward is very powerful and his methods are extremely mysterious.
But if you rush into the huge Hand headquarters and face hundreds of ninjas who are proficient in assassination, as well as those terrifying 'five fingers', you may not be able to escape unscathed!
Jessica also stood up and echoed: "Lord Hasward, I also agree with Matt. The Hand now is different from before, and it is very dangerous inside!"·
"oh?"
Lord pushed the frame with one hand and said curiously: "Tell me the information you know."
Jessica recalled: "When I was controlled by the Purple Man, I once saw the Hand's 'Five Fingers' in a secret room underground. But they... felt like they were not human, there was a Indescribably weird.”
"are you sure?"
Matt frowned slightly and said in confusion: "Maybe what you saw was not 'five fingers', but something else?"
Jessica shook her head, and then said in a deep voice: "I can tell you with certainty that what I saw at that time was the 'Five Fingers', and the words 'not human' were told to me in private by Ziren. .”
"Isn't the point... 'less human'?"
Matt thought about these words, touched his chin at the same time, and said: "A lunatic like Purple Man is actually willing to cooperate with the Hand. It is very likely that he was coerced and had no choice but to help the Hand."
Matt thought it was a bit strange before. With the ability of Purple Man and the combination with Jessica, even if he is no match for the Hand Association, he will not be reduced to helping the Hand Association to do things, right?
But now it seems...
There is a big secret in this!
Matt said solemnly: "Jessica, please recall it carefully and see if there is any other information?"
"good......"
Jessica took a deep breath. Although she didn't want to recall what happened when she was controlled, she was still willing to try it for Lord Hasward.
"I remembered!"
Jessica suddenly said: "Purple Man also told me one thing, he said he must steal that 'book'!"
Book?
Matt was slightly startled, "Took away a book? Are you sure that's what the purple man said? What else did he say?"
"I remember...Purple Man seemed to say..." Jessica frowned and tried to recall: "That book is a magical artifact, giving five fingers the power of immortality, so that's why Will work with them.”
A 'book' that can grant eternal life?
Lord pushed the frame with one hand and said thoughtfully: "Things are getting interesting."
This is a bit intriguing.
Logically speaking, the Hand in Marvel is just a killer group.
The only thing worth caring about is probably the Dragon Bone of Agelessness stolen from Kunlun Mountain by the Five Fingers of the Hand.
But now there is an extra book inexplicably, which can also give people the power of immortality.
What a strong sense of déjà vu...
Are you sure this isn't Dr. Strange from next door?
Going back to the recent past, the Hand's recent sudden disappearance seems to have a lot to do with this book!
It seems necessary to take a look!
"Lord Hasward!"
Matt knelt down on one knee and said: "I suggest you investigate clearly first, and then make a plan and let me sneak in first. This is safer and more secure."
There are too many undetermined factors!
The strength of the five fingers was already very terrifying, but now they were given power by a book, and not even the Purple Man could resist.
These circumstances made Matt have to worry about Hasward!
"No need to worry."
Lord's eyes were half-closed, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he gave a calm and gentle smile: "The Hand is just some dust. Whether it's one or two, it doesn't make any difference to me."
The Hand is just the first step. If you can't even take this step, how can you compete with "death" in the future?
Being timid will only lead to death!
Cowardice will lead to failure!
Since he wants to usurp the power of the creation god, how can he cower?
...
Hand Headquarters.
Lord, dressed in a white military uniform, hovered above the night sky.
On either side of him were Daredevil Matt and Jessica, both of whom were standing in mid-air like him.
When one's physique transforms into a Quincy, controlling the spirit son is like breathing, it is almost an instinct engraved into the soul.
Therefore, it is not too difficult for Matt and Jessica to use spirit seeds to construct steps under their feet. Once they are a little familiar with it, they can easily do it.
The building of the Hand's headquarters was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the structure inside from the outside.
"Erica...I'm coming!"
Matt muttered silently in his mind.
Ever since his ex-girlfriend was controlled by the Hand, he has been trying to rescue Erica, and he can finally do it today!
"Let's go."
Lord said calmly: "Let's go and see what's in there."
