American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 120 Falling Victim

"The Hulk found Pennywise in Harlem, who was trying to attack someone, but failed. Now the Hulk is rampaging in the city center, and Pennywise has disappeared again. S.H.I.E.L.D. is in a real mess."

As expected, Natasha reported that the Hulk had been defeated. Given the Hulk's limited mental resistance, there was really no hope for him.

"The good news is that Stark Tower was among the Hulk's targets, and with pressure from S.H.I.E.L.D. and public opinion, Tony has decided to take his men to stop him. I remember you don't like him, right? If you want to finish him off, now's a good opportunity."

"Killing him in a sneak attack like this would be too easy on him, and killing him at this point would definitely attract an investigation. Besides, his brain might still be useful in the future. What other information do S.H.I.E.L.D. have? What are their plans for dealing with Pennywise?"

Xiao Xian rejected the suggestion to directly attack Tony. Revenge should be full of malice to be considered revenge. Assassination is something to be done when you can't win a direct fight, like you might use that tactic against Superman. But if Xiao Xian wanted to kill Tony, he could just fly to his house and take care of it with a flash. There was no need to take action now, as it would only cause trouble.

In comparison, Xiao Xian was more concerned about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trump cards.

"A high-ranking commissioner was sent down from above, and Nick Fury treated him with utmost respect. It was as if he brought a highly confidential secret weapon with him, saying that the next time Pennywise tries to attack someone, it will be his death day."

"So confident? Do you know what that secret weapon is?" Xiao Xian asked curiously. It seemed that S.H.I.E.L.D. was finally going to reveal some trump cards that he didn't know about. Wait, could it be the Tesseract?

"I don't know. I don't have enough authority. I didn't even see the box or briefcase, so I don't know where he put the things," Natasha replied helplessly. Her position in S.H.I.E.L.D. was not low, but that was all. At most, she was a high-ranking employee in S.H.I.E.L.D. She was not the master of S.H.I.E.L.D., nor was she Nick Fury.

"Give me the location information of that specialist, and I'll send someone to find out."

"Xiao Xian, that commissioner holds a very high position; his security level is even higher than Nick Fury's. Do you know what that means?"

Natasha reminded Xiao Xian that while he was indeed very strong, he was far from being able to do whatever he wanted. The higher Natasha climbed, the more she understood how deep the waters of this world ran.

Let alone Xiao Xian now, even Superman might not have the right to do whatever he wants.

"I know, don't worry, I won't do anything to him, and I don't intend to alert security. I naturally have my own ways of getting intelligence." Xiao Xian replied to Natasha with a slight smile. Compared to fighting, intelligence gathering is the White Queen's domain of telepathy.

"Alright then, the commissioner will be heading to another base later. There are nine possible routes for him, and nine vehicles will depart at the same time, one of which will carry the commissioner."

"Damn, is he setting up a false alarm? Nine cars." Xiao Xian complained upon hearing this, but this matter was easily resolved. The White Queen's mind-reading ability could easily sense that there were people in those cars.

"It's normal for a commissioner to have a big presence. This commissioner is easy to recognize. All five fingers on his left hand are mechanical, his eyes have been replaced with mechanical arms, and he has a lot of wounds on his body."

"What kind of weird outfit is this? Is it a cosplay of Terminator?" Xiao Xian almost thought it was the Winter Soldier.

After sending a message to the White Queen, Xiao Xian glanced at Beverly, who had already fainted, and went to the corridor to make a real-time phone call with the White Queen.

"Hey~ How's it going? By the way, has your telepathic ability improved?"

"No, I know you're definitely not dead. I'm waiting for the commissioner's car to pass by on the road. Oh, lucky me, this looks like the one carrying the commissioner." The White Queen looked at a car approaching in the distance and made a phone call to Xiao Xian.

"What is he thinking right now?" Xiao Xian asked.

"Is he currently recalling the image of him looking at his own finger with a knife?" The White Queen read the agent's mind and said speechlessly. This man actually cut his own finger? The White Queen thought it was some kind of battle medal or something.

"Huh? Cutting himself? Is this guy crazy? But it's true that some of the upper-class people have very special hobbies. For example, Harry has a very special hobby. He always wanted Mary Jane and me to be there in front of him." Xiao Xian said speechlessly.

"Harry was influenced by me, but it's true that many rich people like to do strange things. When the Black King opened his club, many rich people paid girls to whip and verbally abuse them."

The White Queen recalled her past memories, saying, "There are also some people who like to be pinched. In short, human diversity is very rich, but it is relatively rare for someone to cut off their own finger like this person."

"He's thinking about his wife and daughter again, they're quite adorable." The White Queen read the commissioner's mind, but this wasn't the time to look at someone else's family records. The White Queen then created a strange laugh in the commissioner's mind.

It's difficult for ordinary people to see Pennywise. A little auditory hallucination is enough to make the agent mistakenly believe that Pennywise is nearby. Since Pennywise is nearby, it's normal for him to think about how to deal with Pennywise, right?

"Who!" The commissioner immediately opened his eyes wide with alertness, observing the surroundings and trying to find any trace of Pennywise's presence. At the same time, the commissioner's mind also flashed through the plan to deal with Pennywise that he had practiced countless times.

"I see. He wants to use the supernatural to fight the supernatural!" the White Queen suddenly exclaimed. "No wonder Black Widow couldn't see the briefcase; this man himself is the weapon against Pennywise!"

"Is this person weird?!"

Xiao Xian was surprised to hear this. It's a good thing this is a man. If it were a woman, she might stare at him like Tomie did. But speaking of which, Tomie ran off to try to shed her evil body. I wonder if she succeeded. If she succeeded and her true body became as beautiful as she looks, should I be bold?

That makes sense. Since there are strange things in this world, humans will naturally try to make use of them. Not to mention strange things, there are plenty of people eager to trade with demons and demon kings.

"He's not just a weirdo, he's an invitation ticket to a weirdo! S.H.I.E.L.D. is threatening his entire family's lives to force him to drag Pennywise into another weirdo's game. Oh no, I've been caught in their trap. Anyone who knows that weirdo's name will be pulled into the game within three days, and I've already read his name."

The White Queen suddenly broke into tears. She saw the commissioner's experience in the bizarre game. If it weren't for his family, this man would have committed suicide long ago, and all of this would soon happen to her as well.

"I love you, Xiao Xian. Don't ask about this commissioner anymore; this is hell."
