From American comics to becoming the mastermind behind the scenes

"Then you're underestimating Xie Yali too much." Ayou's expression was solemn. "Even if she hasn't become an immortal yet, she's definitely not someone we can easily deal with. And why did she choose to go to America?"

As the saying goes, "It's hard to leave one's homeland," those who ascend to immortality generally choose a place they are familiar with.

"More worrying than that are the zombies we can't find. New York City has a population of tens of millions, and the consequences of a zombie outbreak in New York would be unpredictable," Nick Fury said, frowning.

Although Xie Yali is a very dangerous presence, she hasn't affected Amiken yet. On the contrary, the zombie is the problem that urgently needs to be dealt with!

"You don't understand," Ayou shook his head and said, "While zombies are somewhat troublesome, they are nothing compared to Xie Yali. An existence that transcends the established order can disrupt the balance, and then even more troublesome things will arise."

"We'll deal with that when the time comes," Nick Fury said seriously, looking at Constantine. "We've had a great working relationship before, and I hope it will be the same this time."

Constantine shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Of course, the customer is always right."

As they spoke, Constantine put his arm around Ayou's shoulder and laughed, "What are you worried about? Isn't this Alienken? Even if Xie Yali succeeds in ascending to heaven, it will be Alienken that will be destroyed. This is a good thing."

Still not entirely at ease, Ah-you earnestly said to Nick Fury, "Please gather information on any recent murders with bizarre methods of death."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Constantine pulled Ayou out of the room.

Nick Fury's face was as black as iron, but others couldn't tell.

"Yan Shuangying, you have caused too much trouble in Alikan. I will definitely report your actions to the Security Council from now on."

Yan Shuangying smiled and said, "One day you will know how heavy the responsibility on our shoulders is. Guarding this blessed land is a tough job."

Nick Fury said, "Get some rest." He didn't say anything more, turned and left the room, glancing at the two people smoking in the hospital corridor.

"Aren't you afraid of getting lung cancer from smoking so much?" Nick Fury waved his hand, dispersing the smoke.

Upon hearing this, Constantine smiled and said, "I know a lung cancer expert named Lucifer. This is a piece of cake for him. Want one?"

Nick Fury shook his head in refusal, then looked at Ayou, whose expression was grave, and said, "I've already sent people to gather information, but there have been so many murders in New York recently, and quite a few of them match your description."

"Hopefully, it hasn't reached the final stage yet," Ayou said. "But I still don't understand why Xie Yali chose to ascend to heaven in Amelia Ken.

"Take care of the zombies first. Trouble will come one after another, we'll deal with them one by one." Constantine stubbed out his cigarette.

Ah-you nodded emphatically: "Okay, I need to get ready."

Nick Fury began, "We haven't located the zombies yet, we're still searching..."

Ah-You waved his hand to interrupt Nick Fury, his fingers, holding a cigarette, moving gracefully as he spoke, "No need, I'll lure him out!"

……

Hell's Kitchen, the sewers.

This is where the zombies escaped, and it's also the place Ah-you chose.

On the narrow ground of the sewers, the agents cleared an area. The Defenders were also there, but because of the confined space, Nick Fury didn't send Hawkeye; instead, he took matters into his own hands.

"You should hide first." Ah You's expression was solemn, completely different from before, appearing dignified and serious.

He flipped his hands over, and the robe he was wearing, which looked like a bathrobe, was turned inside out. It turned out to be a bright yellow Taoist robe, with the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, and the stars of the heavens covering the back.

Finally, he solemnly placed the Bagua hat on his head.

A huge brush, dipped in black blood, left a large talisman in its flowing strokes.

Then a lotus lamp spontaneously combusted without a flame, immediately releasing a nauseating stench.

"What is that thing? Why does it smell so bad?"

"Corpse oil lamp," Ayou said seriously. "Hopefully this thing can lure the zombies here." After saying that, Ayou sat down on the octagonal chair that the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had prepared.

Ah You holds a peach wood sword in one hand and a Five Elements Compass in the other.

I began to close my eyes and rest.

The next moment, a sudden gust of cold wind swept in, and the flame of the corpse oil lamp flickered.

"Remember, no matter what happens afterward, you must not step into the barrier!" Ayou opened his eyes and said solemnly.

The Five Elements Compass in his hand had been opened, blooming like a lotus flower, with five metal cylinders popping out from it.

Matt frowned, listening intently as he heard heavy footsteps slowly approaching.

Each sound was like the beating of drums.

When the shadow finally appeared before them, everyone gasped in shock.

The previously injured zombie has fully recovered, and its appearance is even uglier and more terrifying, resembling a bat.

The moment the zombie saw the group, it pounced on them.

"Watch out!" Jessica Jones shouted.

Constantine leaned against the wall, continuing to smoke, one hand in his pocket, seemingly nonchalant: "No need to shout, this place isn't that big, we've already seen it."

Just as the zombie lunged at Ah You, a sudden change occurred. The Five Elements Compass slowly rotated and converged into the first character.

"water"

The next second, the position of the talisman drawn by Ayou immediately changed, and the zombie that was rushing towards Ayou floated up as if weightless and crashed heavily into the ceiling.

The water flows meanderingly.

Then the Five Elements compass rotated again, converging into the second character.

"wood"

In an instant, countless vines sprouted without roots, spreading out and turning the entire sewer into a forest.

These vines, as if alive, shot towards the zombie and bound it tightly. The zombie tried to struggle and managed to free one hand.

However, the vast majority of bodies remain trapped in the vines and cannot break free.

"So it's a water zombie." Ayou nodded slightly, and the Five Elements Compass clicked softly.

The Five Elements compass stopped rotating and remained at the "Wood" position.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Ah You slowly walked up to the zombie and raised his sword.

With a "whoosh," the zombie, which could withstand bullets and molten arrows, was easily beheaded by Ayou with a wooden sword.

The head rolled off, and the entire body and head immediately burst into flames without fire.

Immediately, the Five Elements Compass closed again.

The entire process, from the appearance of the zombie to its death, took no more than a minute.

"This…" Luke Cage exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief, "Is this the same zombie that almost wiped us all out that night?"

"How come I feel like I could do it too?" Jessica Jones exclaimed.

There's no way to describe how they feel right now!

"I told you, zombies are a minor problem." Ayou walked towards the crowd, his expression calm and composed, as if he had just gone to pull a blade of grass.
