Chapter 301 Looking for Vampires

Unlike the half-baked Skye.

Melinda May is, after all, a specially trained professional agent.

Therefore, even when facing the legendary Avengers within SHIELD, he still maintains his usual calm attitude.

Glancing at Captain America, who was frowning in front of him, Agent May continued to describe his previous experiences: "...I once hoped that Peggy Carter would return to SHIELD with me, but she flatly rejected my suggestion and acted like I showed the control that Dior had planted in her. Peggy told me that Dior’s purpose in coming to New York was not simple. There was a bigger conspiracy hidden behind him. And, before he was discovered, I saw him through Peggy. Ji Carter's hand handed a mask-like object to the hands of an organization called Spider..."

"Stone Ghost Face."

Hearing the mask mentioned by Agent May, Steve's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but murmured.

"Stone Ghost Face?"

Noticing Steve's unusual reaction, Agent May asked instinctively: "It seems that you know this mask quite well."

"..."

Facing Agent May's questioning, Steve was silent for a moment, and then he made a gesture of recall and said: "During World War II, I once broke into the Hydra base with Dio for a rescue mission. It was there that we discovered With the Cosmic Rubik's Cube and... the Stone Ghost Mask, we didn't understand the function of this mask at first, but Dio cracked the secret of the Stone Ghost Mask and successfully transformed himself into a vampire."

The memory of Stone Ghost Face is not far away for Steve.

Even after seventy years, he still clearly remembers the scene in the Hydra base where Dio put on the Stone Ghost Mask in an evil and crazy manner to transform himself from a human into a vampire.

"So, what the Spider Organization got was the stone ghost face used by Dio?"

S.H.I.E.L.D. maintains confidentiality regarding World War II, especially many information related to Hydra. Therefore, even Agent May, who has a high level of confidentiality within S.H.I.E.L.D., knows the information about the Stone Ghost Face for the first time.

"impossible."

However, in response to Agent May's speculation, Steve shook his head without hesitation: "The original stone ghost face had been destroyed by me long ago, so the stone ghost face that Peggy saw was absolutely impossible. It’s the same side as before.”

"Are there many masks like this that transform people into vampires?"

Steve's answer made Agent Mei frown subconsciously.

However, the existence of the Stone Ghost Face reminded Steve of an object - a containment object.

He speculated that maybe the stone ghost face was also a type of contained object, so it had this unusual ability.

There were still many speculations in her mind about the existence of the Stone Ghost Face, but Agent Mei knew very well that now was not a good time to do research, so she suppressed her inner doubts and immediately turned the topic to her own intelligence: "... After being reminded by Agent Peggy Carter, I have been working hard to search for clues related to vampires in New York. Finally, after investigation and inference, I found traces of vampire activities in Hell's Kitchen. Based on some scattered clues at that time , mentioned that there were brief rumors of vampires in Harlem in Hell's Kitchen, and then a civilian superhero organization called the Defenders took action on the vampire incident. That is, after the Defenders took action, The vampire rumors in Hell's Kitchen died down."

"The Defenders?!"

Steve is no stranger to the Defenders.

In the previous battle with Jue Wushen, he had briefly cooperated with members of the Defenders.

The big black man who was invulnerable and the free-flying woman left a deep impression on him.

Previously, during the formation of the Avengers, Steve had also proposed members of the Defenders, but Nick Fury seemed to have his own ideas and did not adopt his opinions.

Keeping the clues about the Defenders in mind, Steve turned his attention back to Agent May in front of him. He could feel that the other party was obviously telling him this information intentionally. Looking at the calm agent in front of him, he hesitated before saying: "Why is your attitude towards the whole incident so obviously different from other SHIELD agents? You seem to particularly hope that I can find Peggy."

"..."

Facing Steve's question, Agent May's calm face was silent for a moment, and then he turned his eyes to look at Captain America, who had a resolute expression in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Agent Peggy Carter was once my idol. And her mentor, so, captain, you must save her from Dio’s hands!”

Hearing Agent May's request, Steve's eyes changed.

He looked at the female SHIELD agent in front of him and nodded with a firm expression: "I promise."

…

"Buddha's light appears!"

Accompanied by a low shout, golden palm prints transformed by bursts of Sanskrit sounds hit Ah Xing's swing and hit the huge body of 'Jin Bin' in front of him.

Looking at the exposed mechanical interior of the broken robot in front of her, Jessica curled her lips and said coldly: "Is it another fake?"

For some time now, members of the Defenders have been fighting each other in Hell's Kitchen against these so-called 'Pacifist' robots that take on the appearance of Kingpin.

During this period, they had contact with the main body of the robot, the real Kingpin, several times, but in the end they were able to escape cunningly.

At the same time, with each escape, Kingpin's traces become more and more difficult to find.

Stretching out his arms against the light waves of the 'pacifist-Kingpin' in front of him, he dragged the opponent in place. Luke Cage gritted his teeth and grabbed the opponent's arm, while using both hands to exert superhuman strength. The force instantly twisted the arm in his hand, making a harsh creaking sound.

He tried to twitch his arms, but found that he couldn't break free.

'Kingpin' turned his head and pointed it at Luke Cage in front of him, and opened his mouth to reveal the dark muzzle condensed light waves in his mouth.

"Axing!"

Faced with the threat from the 'pacifist-Kingpin', Luke Cage shouted behind him without thinking.

"coming."

Hearing Luke Cage's words, Ah Xing, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took steps, raised his arms across his chest to form a seal, and raised his other palm high above his head. The roaring Sanskrit sound resounded, and countless thousands-character symbols formed around his body behind his back. A vague golden Buddha statue, with a kind-hearted look, used the Tathagata Palm that he was ready to attack.

"Buddha moves mountains and rivers!"

In an instant, the invisible palm prints appeared from behind Ah Xing along with the Buddha's light, and struck the 'Kingpin' held by Luke Cage, instantly scattering the huge robot.

[From the legend of Daredevil...]

[From the legend of Luke Cage...]

[From the legend of Jessica...]

Looking at the machine parts flying all over the sky under the power of "Tathagata Palm", even if it is not the first time they see the power of this move, the defenders are still a little shocked every time they see it.

It is indeed an immortal magic from Penglai.

Frowning to avoid the parts that were flying towards her, she didn't know whether they were feet or other parts. Jessica lowered her head and looked at the pacifist Jin Bin who was smashed to pieces by Ah Xing's "Tathagata Palm". ', but the expression on his face was not very good: "Have you noticed that in recent times, no matter what kind of pacifists they are with the appearance of 'Kingpin'... they seem to have become secretive."

When she mentioned the name 'pacifist', Jessica subconsciously curled her lips, with an obvious expression of disdain on her face. She was obviously thinking about Jin calling these robots that looked exactly like him 'pacifist'. He is not cold, and a former underworld emperor can actually say the word peace.

Of course, the name is just the surface. Jessica is more concerned about the recent development of the situation, which is quite unfavorable for the defenders.

"Do you still remember what Kingpin said when we fought against him before?"

Hearing Jessica's words, Luke Cage also spoke and said silently: "According to him, he returned to New York this time. In addition to wanting to regain the dominance of Hell's Kitchen, he also brought other things with him. Purpose?"

Jessica raised her eyebrows and said, "What's the purpose? Isn't it to take revenge on us?"

Shaking his head, Luke Cage thought about the details that Kingpin revealed in the previous conversation, and replied: "It seems that it is not that simple. If he wants to take revenge on us, he can let us All the robots appeared together, instead of just sending a few scattered robots to fight us like now. His approach is more like a kind of attack on us than revenge..."

"contain."

Then Luke Cage made a guess, and Matt, who was silent on the side, frowned and realized something was wrong.

"Kingpin wants to use these robots to contain our actions," he said. "You can be admitted to the bar, especially if you have obvious flaws compared to ordinary people." It obviously shows that Matt is extraordinary, so the moment he heard Luke Cage raise his doubts, he reacted: "Before, he had successfully regained his lost dominance over Hell's Kitchen. If he wanted to To retaliate against us, we can completely use the power of robots and gangs to carry out revenge."

"Listening to what you said, I seem to have remembered that many mercenary taverns in Hell's Kitchen have posted bounties. They seem to be looking for something?"

Matt's words obviously reminded Jessica and made her tell her about the unusual thing she had discovered recently.

Regarding the development in front of him, Ah Xing looked blank on the surface.

However, Li Ran, the real person on the other side, nodded with satisfaction.

The members of the Defenders were more perceptive than he originally expected. Originally, he thought about reminding them through Ah Xing's mouth if they didn't notice, but now it seems that there is obviously no need for him to speak. How about Matt? People have already noticed Kingpin's unusual behavior.

"So, what is Kingpin's purpose?"

Although they have seen something unusual about Kingpin, the defenders are still a little confused as to the purpose of Kingpin's actions.

After all, there are only a few clues at hand, and being able to deduce that there is a problem with the Kingpin is already the limit of the defenders.

Looking at Matt and others who were obviously confused again, Li Ran was hesitating whether to use Ah Xing to give a subtle reminder.

He saw Matt across from him suddenly frown, tilt his head slightly to the side, and shout in a deep voice.

"who is it?!"

Under the influence of ripples and super senses, Matt noticed that a tall figure was approaching their location.

"It seems like I came at the wrong time."

Following Matt's reminder, Jessica and Luke Cage also put on wary expressions.

As they watched, Steve appeared in front of the defenders holding his shield. He looked down at the robot parts scattered on the ground and the defenders in front of him, and whispered.

"Captain America?"

The iconic shield in Steve's hand made the defenders quickly recognize each other's identity.

The most legendary soldier during World War II and a member of the Avengers - Captain America Steve.

"Why did you show up in Hell's Kitchen?" Looking at the well-known superhero in front of them, the defenders looked stunned for a moment, but Luke Cage was the first to react, looking at each other and saying: "Isn't that what the Avengers should do?" Busy on a mission to save the world every day?”

Although they are both superhero organizations, Luke Cage knows very well that compared to the trivial actions of the Defenders, the Avengers are the true superhero group.

After all, behind the opponent, there is a powerful backing from SHIELD, which is far more than a loose alliance composed of just a few of them street heroes, private detectives and blind lawyers.

"If the world needs to be saved every day, it's not enough for us Avengers alone."

Faced with Luke Cage's teasing, Steve immediately responded with a smile and a shrug.

Looking at Captain America who was smiling and responding in front of him, Luke Cage first stared at him expressionlessly for a few seconds, and then the originally stern expression on his face quickly changed, revealing his iconic smile, reaching out and touching the person opposite him. Steve shook his hand and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Captain."

"Same to you, Luke."

He also reached out and took hold of Luke Cage's broad palm. Steve nodded and replied.

As the two shook hands and talked, the tense atmosphere on both sides immediately relaxed.

Originally, there was no deep hatred between Steve and the Defenders, and they had even fought side by side with each other before.

Under such a premise, how could there be a situation of tension when meeting again.
