Chapter 1281: Choice and imminence!
Vera quickly arrived at the floor where the battle broke out before. It would be a bit boring to always stay on the first floor.
Some unexpected things happened, and Vera was willing to relax a little.
"So Constantine is not here at this time?"
Vera asked in surprise after coming up.
She didn't feel any trace of using the portal, and Constantine obviously hadn't blocked Vera's ability to leave here.
Although both demon hunters are already at the legendary level, the gap between Vera and Constantine is still huge.
“This is why we need your help. Constantine used some means to get to the next level, but now he is missing.
We think there may be something between this Trouble."
Norman Osborne said.
His attitude towards the Nephalem is much better than that of Nick Fury. At least Norman Osborn is willing to give more trust to the Nephalem.
Although this also means that Norman owes Nephalem a great favor.
"Disappeared in the upper layer?"
Vera was a little confused.
After arriving at the Buster Building, she paid close attention to the situation in the Buster Building.
The situation that can cause a legendary demon hunter to disappear is not a trivial matter.
And Constantine disappeared under Vera's perception. This situation is bizarre enough.
Vera expanded her perception, but she did not find any demonic aura.
"So who is Constantine planning to find here?"
Vera asked.
Perhaps it would be closer to the truth to speculate on Constantine's purpose.
“He said he was looking for Dr. Reed, but we didn’t think it was harmless for him to do so.
So we rejected him, which also led to Constantine and us There were some conflicts."
Norman Osborne said very seriously.
He understood that the only person he could rely on in this situation was the Nephalem.
Norman Osborn has no way to contact the Archangel, and Norman doesn't think the Archangel is a trustworthy guy.
In his opinion, it is obviously more appropriate to describe the matter between SHIELD and Archangel as mutual benefit.
"Conflict? Maybe I have an idea."
Vera took out a dagger and said.
Constantine is somewhat measured when doing things, and he will not use force when it is not necessary.
This at least shows that in Constantine's understanding, he must see Dr. Reed even if he uses force.
At least there is someone to point the finger at. There may be something going on with Dr. Reed that no one else knows about.
"Now I think it is necessary to see Dr. Reed. Do you still insist that Dr. Reed should not see outsiders?"
Vera asked.
“I can no longer guarantee that my judgment is correct under the current situation, but this is just my opinion. I don’t want Dr. Reed and the Nephalem to meet.”
Norman Osborne said helplessly.
He knew the Nephalem's attitude towards demons.
Although Dr. Reed was very dull after his soul was divided, there was no trace of the devil on his body.
But Norman cannot guarantee what judgment the Nephalem will make after meeting the current Dr. Reed.
After all, strictly speaking, the existence of these divided souls is because part of the soul has begun to transform into a demon.
This is corruption, and in Nephalem's understanding, corruption is irreversible!
“I have heard a little bit about your affairs, and I will not take action against the people you cherish at least now.
But if I judge that there is no need to save him at all, then you are the most likely to Nothing will stop me from making the right choice,"
Vera said.
The idea of rescuing corrupted people is not something that has ever occurred among the Nephalem.
But it is because they have tried too many times, but the result every time is failure!
That’s why the Nephalem gradually gave up research in this area.
After all, most Nephalem who are good at doing research are spell casters, among which witch doctors and mages are the main ones.
But mages and witch doctors have determined that corruption is a change from body to mind, and there is no way to save it even with the use of soul-related knowledge.
Since then, it has become a "truth" that corruption is irreversible.
After all, even the higher heavens could not save a powerful angel like Yizuer after he was corrupted.
The Nephalem will naturally choose to give up after being unable to do anything.
But now humans are trying to solve this problem in their own way, and even come up with the method of cutting the soul to temporarily ensure that the corruptor interrupts the process of corruption.
This alone has brought a lot of hope.
The Nephalem are also looking forward to humans being able to truly solve the problem of corruption.
This is a good thing for everyone, and even high-level heavens may be looking forward to human beings producing satisfactory results in this regard.
"I can make the decision to let you see Dr. Reed, but if you plan to take action against Dr. Reed.
I think we will do whatever it takes to prevent you from harming him."< br>
Norman Osborne still made a decision, although this decision was difficult enough for him.
“That’s good.”
Vera said.
If the time comes for Vera to think it is really necessary to kill Dr. Reed, she will do it no matter what the cost.
The witcher's intuition told her that this matter was probably related to Dr. Reed.
But before seeing Dr. Reed, Vera did not dare to make any judgment.
Right and wrong sometimes seem not so important, but as Nephalem who have to constantly fight against demons, being right means that they will not waver!
And wavering is the beginning of corruption, which is already a consensus among demon hunters.
"Then please let us accompany you to see Dr. Reed.
It would be great if traces of Constantine could be found on the road."
No. Mann Osborn sighed, and then put on the Green Goblin suit that he had just taken off piece by piece.
To be honest, the Green Goblin suit really doesn’t look very good.
At first glance, it always reminds people of those blowflies.
Norman Osborne himself thought this way, but when the Osborne Group designed the Green Goblin suit, it was intended to have a strong deterrent effect.
So in appearance, the Green Goblin suit is quite hideous and ugly.
Even if this thing is worn to burn hell, it is possible that the devil will treat it as one of its own.
Because it looks really ugly.
"Norman, if you have time, I suggest you take the time to change the shape of your suit."
Bucky couldn't help but said after seeing Norman put on the suit.
"Generally speaking, I am the one who does not need to fight. The ugly appearance can bring some psychological comfort when fighting, right?"
Norman Osborne explained helplessly.
He is right. As the leader of the Thunder Agents, he usually does not need to carry out combat missions.
So there seems to be nothing noteworthy about the image of this suit.
The Thunderbolts are different from the Howling Commandos in that they will definitely operate in the shadows.
After their members are formed, some criminals may be added like Task Force X.
This is destined to prevent them from being exposed to the public eye.
Image issues seem to be the least important thing to worry about.
"What if you later became the director of SHIELD?"
Bucky asked.
“By that time, the Thunder Agents probably won’t need a Green Goblin behind the scenes as their leader.
Now is not the time to talk about this. Let’s accompany Ms. Vera to meet her first. Dr. Reed.
If necessary, let's keep Dr. Reed at the bottom together, so that maybe Ms. Vera will temporarily stop attacking because she doesn't want to hurt anyone else? "
Norman Osborne said in a joking tone.
Everyone present knew that he was not actually joking.
Vera was noncommittal, this is Norman Osborne and the others made decisions based on their own beliefs.
Vera did not think that he had to compromise. The battle of wills often turned into a comparison of strength.
When no one gives in, of course the stronger one can move forward.
Sacrifice?
Of course Vera will not use sacrifice to decorate what she may do!
There is another way of saying this among witchers, and it is called "price"!
"Let's go, I really hope this matter won't be too troublesome. It would be best if Constantine made a bad joke on us."
Bucky sighed.
Falcon was still inspecting the uppermost ventilation duct at this time.
Normally, these places should be under surveillance of the building.
After all, the ventilation ducts in the building can be unobstructed and no one can detect this kind of thing. It is impossible to happen where SHIELD is involved.
The ventilation ducts of Buster Building have two monitoring methods: thermal sensing and energy sensing.
But neither method of monitoring got the results they needed!
At this time, the problem is already very obvious.
"I hope so too, but he already said when he came here that he is very serious about this matter."
Norman Osborne said with a headache.
……
"If I guess correctly, you brought me here through my strong obsession with Dr. Reed?"
Constantine said slowly and leisurely.
He still had a cigarette in his mouth.
He made all possible preparations, whether it was fighting or notifying people outside first.
He has already made a plan in his mind!
He also had his own ideas as to why the two demons took the initiative to bring him into this realm.
Since these two demons have been able to hide under the perception of Vera and Wonder Woman for such a long time, they have even grown to their current strength.
That only shows that these two guys must have some unique hiding skills.
When playing hide-and-seek, it’s best not to pay attention to where the guy looking for someone is when you are hiding.
Only in this way is it possible to hide forever.
Constantine believed that since the two demons in front of him could hide under the perception of Vera and the others, it could only be said that they knew nothing about the outside world.
After all, they are demons who will be noticed by Vera and Wonder Woman as long as they reveal their breath!
Once a demon of this strength reveals its existence, the Nephalem will move much faster than imagined!
"That's true. After all, I am half of Reed's soul. Your obsession with Reed is also your obsession with me.
It is through this that I can perceive you. exists.
Of course, it's also because your obsession with Reed is so murderous, otherwise we wouldn't take action.
Although he and I have different ideas outside, we are a complete whole after all.
He is dead outside. Although I will not die, I will still be in embarrassment. "
Dr. Reed's half-demon said unabashedly.
Generally speaking, if a villain is willing to chat with the hero about what he has done, it often means that these villains are It's a fool who gave the other party a chance to make a comeback!
But it also means that these villains are determined to end everything here!
Constantin understood that the demon in front of him was very determined to kill him and had no intention of leaving him any way to survive.
“In other words, you actually know very little about the outside world?
At least you don’t know what happened after Dr. Reed divided his soul?
Your knowledge of the Nephalem is limited to the knowledge given by the Burning Hell?”
Constantine threw the burned cigarette butt aside.
He was in the devil's package at this time. No matter where he threw the cigarette butt, it was thrown into the devil's body.
This is not a lack of quality.
The devil didn't reply this time. He seemed to have sensed something was wrong.
Constantine was stalling for time, but what this demon did was actually similar.
This demon is certainly not weak, at least he is much stronger than Constantine at this time.
But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any scruples!
Vera's strength is enough to take him down, and this demon also senses Vera's obsession with Dr. Reed!
This is not good news.
“By the way, there are also the automated defense lines you simulated before. Are those things the mechanic’s obsession with Dr. Reed that you have sensed?
That guy probably wouldn't be happy to come here and be responsible for protecting Dr. Reed, but those guys are undoubtedly responsible.
Now that they are here, they will seriously consider how to protect Dr. Reed.
But we all made a mistake, that is, there is no demon who wants to kill Dr. Reed coming here at all.
Because you won’t allow it, right? "
Constantine refilled his cigarette. He crossed his arms over his chest and held the cigarette in his right hand.
The left hand is holding the hand crossbow.
Constantine was actually ready, but now he also realized what the devil in front of him was struggling with.
This is actually not difficult to guess!
That can only mean that Vera has reached this level. If a battle breaks out at this time, then Vera may be aware of the existence of these demons!
But they are unwilling to continue arguing with Constantine here.
At this time, Constantine saw an opportunity to use his deception, but what he wanted to do more was to directly deal with this demon!
If this demon is completely killed, then Dr. Reed will have solved the danger of corruption.
At least he will not become a demon and never be able to turn around because of the corruption at the beginning.
But it is not immune to corruption, and this part of the soul will be permanently lost.
But that is at least better than the possibility of being dragged down by this half of the soul that has completely turned into a demon!
Constantine's finger is already on the trigger!
