Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 247 The Hanged Man Returns from Hell

Just when everything in China was going in order and according to plan.

Far away on the other side of the ocean, a purple-haired figure from the United States also set foot on this so-called "free" land...

one more time.

"hey-hey……"

"When was the last time?"

"Oh, it was the time when I was forced to jump into the sea. Sean was so stupid that he actually believed the nonsense of those scums from Behemoth. It turns out that only one of the two things, muscles and brains, can exist at the same time. Hahahahaha!"

When he thought of the experience of being hunted by the entire "Behemoth", "Dangled" laughed out loud. It was really ironic that a group of guys who called themselves "heroes" didn't know that they were just lackeys of the villains.

This also made him realize that the so-called "friendship" and "trust" are all illusions and vulnerable. Only what he wants to do and his own beliefs are what he can rely on. This is also the reason why he joined "Heaven".

And now...

His preparations are complete...

"It's time to have a big fight, hehehehe...hahahahahahaha!"

The "upside-down" body kept twitching and making a crazy laugh.

Unlike other people in the "Heaven", he did not wear a mask this time, nor did he have any intention of showing that he was a "Heavenly God General". This time when he returned to his homeland, he only had one identity -

That's "hanging upside down"!
"Let me think...what should be the first step?"

“Behemoth… hehehe…”

At this moment, "Inverted" was standing at a port, grinning and thinking while walking forward. His rare purple hair and green and purple suit were already eye-catching, and his crazy expression made people around him look at him sideways.

But no one discovered that underneath his madness he was actually extraordinarily calm, and his shining eyes contained the light of wisdom. He had never been a madman...or rather, not just that. You have to know that in the team with Sean, he was the "brain"!
moment……

"As expected, the usual methods are too boring and too inefficient, so let's just do it directly~"

After thinking it over, "Upside Down" rejected all the little funs. Since the primary target this time was "Behemoth", there was no need to do any small fights first.

It can be seen that after so many years, he can no longer wait. The events of the past are still vivid in his mind, and he will certainly do his best to repay them.

Therefore, the next moment after stepping out of the port, "Dao Diao" walked directly into a bar next to the port. So many years have passed, and the hidden line logo of "Behemoth" is still so obvious, which saved him a lot of trouble.

As it was still daytime, there was no one in the bar except for a bartender who was busy preparing for the evening opening and cleaning, polishing each wine glass until it shined.

Jingle Bell--

"welcome!"

When he saw someone coming in, the bartender was very polite. He immediately put down the glass in his hand and looked at "Dao Diao".

"Sir, what would you like to drink?"

However, when "Dao Diao" walked to the bar, the bartender saw the other person's face clearly, and his pupils shrank suddenly. It was obvious that he recognized him, but it only took a moment for him to recover again and he did not say anything.

"A whiskey, please."

At this time, "Dao Diao" seemed to have not noticed anything. He just sat at the bar and ordered a drink. Then he waited and looked around as if nothing had happened.

"Are you the boss here? Good taste~"

He pointed to the row of Beatles records on the record rack nearby.

"Oh? You like it too?"

The bartender remained calm, poured him a glass of whiskey, then walked to the record rack, pulled out a record and showed it to him.

"Abbey Road, released in 1969, my favorite, how about it?"

"Of course, classics are timeless, aren't they?"

The "Hanged Upside Down" grinned.

"call……"

Seeing that there seemed to be nothing unusual about him, the bartender heaved a sigh of relief. As the person in charge of this dark spot, he had naturally heard of this guy's notoriety. It was no exaggeration to describe him as "notorious".

What he had to do now was to notify the headquarters as soon as possible and pass on the news of this guy's appearance. The record in his hand and the record player in front of him were modified communication devices.

however……

Just as the bartender put the record on the record player, ready to start it and send the secret signal, suddenly...

"Haha, the guys at Behemoth really listened to my advice and used alchemy and mechanical technology to create this secret transmission device. If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to find it~"

The sound of "hanging upside down" suddenly sounded behind him, making him shiver.

"Ah? When?"

Being able to be the person in charge of the secret spot near the port, the bartender's strength is naturally not weak, at least it can be considered to be of an upper-middle level, but he did not feel this guy approaching at all.

By the time he reacted, a large hand had already covered his entire face. An emerald green light occupied his vision, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.

next moment……

Swish!
The green light filled with the breath of life completely covered the bartender's body, enveloping him, and infusing his body and soul with the essence of life...

wow——

In a moment, when the light faded, the bartender's figure disappeared, and in its place was a tree of the same size as ordinary trees, emitting a faint green light.

"This is the first time I've used it on a human. It seems to be working well~"

He picked up the tree seed from the ground and looked at it carefully. He did not kill the bartender, but temporarily sealed his body and soul in the tree seed. This is one of his current abilities -

"Reconstruction of life"!
It is worth mentioning that this method can not only imprison people, but also allow them to be reborn. The outcome depends on his thoughts and can be completely controlled by him.

As for this person right now...

"Um……"

"He helps his neighbors look after their homes, stands up for the weak, and stands up against evil deeds. He's a pretty good guy..."

After reading the memories in his soul, "Upside Down" made a judgment.

"Another poor soul deceived by Behemoth."

Therefore, he made a decision on how to deal with the seed. He walked out of the bar and came to a small open space behind the bar. He bent down, dug a hole in the soil, and buried the seed in it.

"Be patient and wait, and you will be reborn."

With a slight smile, "Dao Diao" returned to the bar, and then gently put the needle of the record player away and started the record player. The pleasant music immediately echoed in the bar:

Here comes old flattop~
(He is wearing baggy clothes)
he come grooving up slowly~
(He slowly gets into the mood)
He's got Joo Joo eyeball~
(Eyes rolling around)
He one holy roller~
(He was the star of the choir)
He got hair down to his knees~
(His hair reached his knees)

Got to be a joker~
(This self-righteous guy)

he just do what he please~
(I just like to do what makes me happy)
……

In the bar's empty dance floor, a purple-haired figure in a purple suit and green shirt danced elegantly, immersed in the music.

His face was filled with an indulgent smile, his movements were exaggerated and bold, but his eyes were locked with deep restraint, because he symbolized "self-sacrifice", "compassion" and "sympathy", as well as "willing risk" and "sacrifice".

He is "Prometheus" who brought fire to the world. He may have the power of a god, but he does not have the arrogance of a god...

Therefore he never claimed to be a "god"...

It’s just the “Hanged Man” who returned from hell!
……

……

at the same time.

Washington, the capital of the United States.

At the headquarters of "Behemoth", the intelligence department received a message from a secret point in Atlanta Port on the west coast, indicating that a serious criminal had gone to the secret point.

Moreover, this time the felon is different from the previous ones. He has a completely independent and exclusive communication code representing his identity:
"Come Together from the Abbey Road album..."

"Yes, it's 'Hanging Upside Down'!"

As soon as the intelligence officer in charge of this matter received the message, his eyes widened. The name "Hanged Upside Down" obviously had a special meaning in his mind. After all, it was the alias of "devil".

As we all know, this guy is a madman. He did a lot of crazy things for "fun". The most famous of them was the "Two Ships Incident", in which he fooled "Hero Sean" and forced him to choose between the lives of the people on two ships.

even though……

There were no casualties that time, and everything seemed to be just a joke.

But this was enough to illustrate this guy's mental state and degree of madness, leaving a deep impression on everyone.

For this reason, as soon as the signal was received, the intelligence officer reported the news to his superiors, who immediately responded and initiated a board meeting.

"What's going on? Isn't the guy 'Hanged Upside Down' on Nason Island? We confirmed it ourselves!"

When they first heard the news, all members of the Behemoth board of directors were shocked.

Only a very few people knew about the "hanging upside down" on Nathan Island, and most people thought that he had been sent to prison by "Hero Sean" and would never appear again in this life.

It is precisely because of this that all the senior executives of "Behemoth" are confused. Logically speaking, once a person goes to Nasen Island and his original household registration is cancelled, he will never be able to return, and Nasen Island will not provide any channels for islanders to leave the island!
"Could it be that something happened on Nason Island?"

Thinking of this, Ron Keller, one of the board members, immediately took out his phone and called King Nathan. The others also looked at him nervously, wanting to know the current situation.

After a while, Ron Keller hung up the phone, frowning:
"According to Nathan Island, Dao Diao launched a huge riot, leading Paradise and Market to go to war, and took advantage of the chaos to board the merchant ship that Big G had contacted to transport supplies, and then left."

"When did it happen?"

"They said it was about three months ago."

"Three months? Why didn't they notify us?"

"King Nathan said that it is a matter between him and us. Once these foreign islanders leave the island, they will have nothing to do with Nathan anymore." "Fuck it!"

Upon hearing this, all the directors could no longer sit still and some started cursing immediately.

"How dare a king of a garbage dump be so arrogant? It seems we have to advance our plan against Nathan!"

"Behemoth" had already made arrangements for this matter. The next time the Nathan Guards went out to purchase, they would contact them and instigate them to rebel, thereby creating a reason to attack Nathan.

For "Behemoth", Nathan's "sacred tree" is a divine object that they must obtain. It is very likely to help them further promote the research and development of the "SP series" of potions. Especially when they know that a "heaven" has appeared in China and is promoting the "inhumanization process", they are even more anxious.

At this moment……

"Um……"

"Sit down first. This matter has already been arranged. There is no rush. The most important thing right now is to deal with this fellow 'Hanged Upside Down'."

The chairman, Kyles DuPont from the DuPont family, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

As the head of the oldest, richest, most peculiar, and most wealthy family in American history, he is obviously more calm than others. At this moment, he is leading the normal meeting and bringing everything back on track.

So, after everyone calmed down, he spoke immediately:

"Everyone knows that this fellow 'Hanged' holds too many of our secrets. It was our mistake to let him escape to Nasen Island. Now that he has escaped back then, it may be a good thing for us."

"Before, due to the agreement between all parties, we could not launch any action against Nasen Island without sufficient reasons, so we let him stay on the island. This time, we can take this opportunity to get rid of him and prevent future troubles!"

"Well, yes!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the directors nodded. They knew the truth behind this, but the matter of Nason Island was more important to them, and they had been focusing on it recently.

"Since he has already appeared, let's just send Sean to catch him. Sean's strength has increased after our transformation and training, while that guy has been on Nathan Island and should not have made any progress."

Ron Keller suggested immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, other directors raised objections:
"Wouldn't it be unsafe to let Sean go?"

"We all know the relationship between the two of them. If they were to come into direct contact, would Sean be persuaded to defect?"

"I already have a solution for this..."

Hearing this, Ron Keller couldn't help but smile. In order to improve his and his family's status in the board of directors, he had already made many preparations in secret, just waiting for the opportunity to come.

"You all should all know 'Xiao Chong'. He is Sean's assistant and partner. He has been by Sean's side for so many years and has already gained his trust and is regarded as his most important partner..."

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say... 'Little Bug' is a pawn you planted? That's impossible!"

The directors were all very clear about the situation of the company's heroes. Since they had a very good relationship with Sean, they naturally paid a lot of attention to "Xiao Chong", knowing that he could not be anyone's pawn.

"Haha, regarding this question, I can only say 'yes and no'. 'Little Bug' was indeed not planted by me in the beginning, but was just one of the successful cases among many second-generation experimental subjects. But don't forget the section I am responsible for..."

Ron Keller smiled.

"I am responsible for the medical treatment and physical examinations of all the heroes in the company!"

"What? You!"

At this moment, all the directors understood the hidden meaning of his words and were immediately angry that he dared to do such a small trick in secret. But before they could get angry, Kyles DuPont signaled them to shut up and looked at him.

"Go on..."

"Ah……"

Seeing this, Ron Keller raised the corners of his mouth and looked even more proud.

"Now, I won't hide it from you all. I have long anticipated that this situation might occur. After all, we will attack Nathan and Sean will also be the main force, so he will meet the 'Hanging' sooner or later."

"So I made extra preparations. During every physical examination or treatment, I arranged for a hypnotist to give 'Little Bug' hints and planted a 'superpower bomb' in his body that he would not notice. This bomb is basically the same as the one used by 'Dangling Upside Down', which is enough to confuse people."

"Of course, in order to make everything realistic, I told 'Little Bug' to ignore the existence of the 'bomb' and to obey an order at a critical moment, so as to ensure that Sean would not notice all this."

"For this mission, I will have 'Xiao Chong' wear a motion monitor to ensure that we can observe the situation at all times. When the time is right, I will use a hint signal to let 'Xiao Chong' attack 'Dao Diao', and activate the bomb the moment the two come into contact!"

"This way, there will no longer be any trust between Sean and 'Hanged Upside Down', so there is nothing to worry about!"

"This……"

After listening to his speech, all the directors present were silent. They had to admit that this move was indeed ruthless and could indeed completely sever Sean's relationship with "Hanging Upside Down".

In response, Chairman Kyles DuPont also expressed his support and said that this was the way to go. After a vote, the plan was immediately passed.

"Where is that 'Hanging Upside Down' guy now?"

After deciding on the plan, the only thing left was to determine the target. Kyles DuPont immediately called in his subordinates from the Intelligence Department, who had been tracking the situation through surveillance.

"Report, 'Hanged' is still in the bar, either drinking or dancing. It seems that he has no intention of leaving, as if he is waiting for us."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the directors looked at each other, obviously realizing that the visitor had ill intentions.

In this case, they should kill it as soon as possible to eliminate the trouble forever. They are absolutely confident in their own strength, how could they be defeated by a stray dog?
then……

"Give the order immediately and send out Sean!"

……

……

About half an hour later.

"Hero" Sean and his partner "Bug" boarded a helicopter to the Port of Atlanta and headed quickly towards the port.

(Sean and the Bug)
On the plane, "Little Bug" couldn't help but feel curious.

"Sean, I heard that this 'Hanged Upside Down' was your former partner, and you two seemed to have a very good relationship in the past. Is that true?"

This is something in the past that Sean has never wanted to talk about, and he has never asked about it. But since the goal this time is to be "hanged upside down", he still wants to know more about it.

"..."

After hearing this question, Sean was silent for a while, then replied:
"Yeah, it's true, that guy used to be... actually quite nice."

"Although he looks crazy and always does surprising things, they are basically just jokes or tactics. He will not really hurt others."

"but……"

"I don't know what happened. When I got the news, he had already escaped from the company. After that, he kept causing chaos, committing crimes, and killing people for fun. He turned into a complete lunatic!"

"So, he suddenly became like this?"

Hearing the meaning, "Xiao Chong" narrowed his eyes.

"It's impossible for a person to suddenly change his temperament. It can only be that something happened!"

"No, there is another possibility, that is mental illness..."

Sean added at this time.

"After he went crazy, I specifically investigated his previous situation and found that he had severe schizophrenia, but he had been using his extraordinary mind to suppress it."

"In other words, the reason why he suddenly went crazy was because his schizophrenia worsened and reached a point where he could no longer suppress it?"

"Xiao Chong" nodded and said while pinching his chin lightly.

"..."

"Maybe. I don't know."

At this point, Sean obviously didn't want to talk anymore, so he fell silent and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"..."

In this regard, "Xiao Chong" naturally expressed his understanding, knowing that this matter was the biggest pain in Sean's heart, so he stopped asking questions, but just silently browsed the information sent by the company to ensure that he knew himself and the enemy and avoided any mistakes.

About half an hour later...

The helicopter arrived above the Port of Atlanta and landed in a hidden location that the bar could not detect. The two men jumped down.

After taking a look at the map and figuring out the direction, the two of them immediately jumped onto the roof of the nearest building. Then, avoiding the sight of passers-by below, they jumped onto the roof of the bar.

pat!

The moment they landed, the two men immediately became alert. They both knew what kind of dangerous person they were about to face, so they were naturally very careful.

After confirming through the company's surveillance that "Daodiao" was still drinking at the bar, the two quickly sneaked in from the rooftop, then went all the way down to the back kitchen of the bar and observed through the kitchen window.

Also at this time...

"Sean, we are old friends. There is no need to be so sneaky when meeting an old friend. Why don't you just come out and catch up?"

"Daohang", who was sitting at the bar, suddenly spoke, and his voice was clearly heard by the two.

Seeing that the other party had noticed and his eyes were accurately locked in the direction of the kitchen, Sean knew that there was no point in continuing to hide, so he signaled Xiao Chong to continue waiting for an opportunity, and he pushed the door open and walked out:

"Dangdang, why did you become like this? What happened?"

He asked loudly as he approached the bar, helping "Bug" to attract attention.

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, "Daodiao" took a sip of wine and smiled.

"Compared to me, you haven't changed much. You're still so stupid..."

He couldn't help but shook his head.
