Chapter 3413: Son of Midnight (XII)
Walking into the reception room upstairs, Miles talked about his discovery: "I caught the guy who took the photo secretly and found that he did take a lot of key pictures, such as the monster struggling on the ground after it turned back into human form. I don't believe that he didn't do it on purpose."
"I questioned him for a few questions and he seemed very guilty. Then he told me that someone approached him and asked him to participate in this protest. As long as he could take pictures of conflicts, especially those between blacks and whites, they were willing to pay a high price for it."
"I asked him who ordered him to do this. He gave a name, but I think it was probably an intermediary. These street thugs take on this kind of dirty work and subcontract it layer by layer, so it's hard to trace the source.
"But there is another clue, which is that he was able to find a place to park and the police ignored him. This shows that the person who hired him also has some influence within the police department."
"Parking?" Stark said doubtfully as he walked in. "What does this have to do with parking? Can't we park as long as there's a parking space?"
Miles tilted his head and said, "That's you. The whole of New York belongs to you. You can park wherever you want. No policeman dares to stop you. But for other people, especially black hooligans like him, it's already strange to have a car. If they want to park within 200 meters of a police car, they are just dreaming."
Stark was a little embarrassed. He said, "I don't discriminate against black people. My good friend War Machine is black. I just..."
"I know, you just don't understand." Miles said, "There's no need for you to understand. After all, it wasn't you who brought us to America."
Stark was even more embarrassed.
"Jarvis, retrieve the police department's internal information to see if there has been any unusual police activity in the Bronx recently," Stark said.
"Okay, sir, we're checking... we found it." Stark pressed his arm, and a small holographic screen projection drone flew out, with the information of the two police officers appearing on the screen. Tracking their life trajectories showed that they were both in poor financial conditions, but had recently made a fortune.
"It seems someone has bribed them." Stark stroked his chin and looked at Moonlight Knight and said, "What do you think?"
Moon Knight walked forward, there was still nothing under his hood, but one could inexplicably feel that his eyes were focused on the avatar on the screen.
"This woman is the one we are looking for." said Moon Knight.
"Why?" Stark asked in confusion, "They are both suspects. This man even took two days off, so he should be more suspicious, right?"
"I can tell fortunes."
Stark was speechless.
"Jarvis, do you feel the magical fluctuations?" Stark asked.
"No, sir. Even if there is, it is not divination," said Jarvis.
"What is that? Mind reading?"
"It could be psychoanalysis," Jarvis said. "I found this skill in Dr. Schiller's skill library. It belongs to the personality trait of arrogance."
"Uh, what?" Stark asked.
"No magical mind reading required," Jarvis explained.
"I see." Stark nodded and said, "What impact will the personality of Pride have?"
"I'm not sure about that." Jarvis said, "I have no special contact with this personality, and the information samples collected are not enough. More information comes from Wanda, but she can't explain it clearly either."
"Okay, let's check this person out," Stark said, "I'll send someone to contact this female officer."
"Johnny," Miles said again, "are you sure you came here because you sensed the evil spirits? There is no other guidance?"
Johnny frowned, then said, "If I must say, I feel that the spirit of vengeance in me has been very active recently. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worked overtime for a day, performed two hours of stunt motorcycles after get off work, and delivered takeout for two hours, and then came here to be the Ghost Rider."
"My God, no wonder you look so bad." Stark sighed, "Are you short of money?"
Johnny gave him a look that said, "Don't discuss money matters with me, rich fellow."
"He doesn't lack money, he just loves working for that devil!" Danny said, staring at Johnny, but Johnny ignored him.
Stark was looking at Johnny's information before he realized that Johnny and Danny were brothers. He looked back and forth between the two and quickly said, "Are you two on bad terms?"
"The most urgent task right now is not to study this." Danny said anxiously, "I guarantee that Mephisto is a hundred times more dangerous than I said. Even if the monster today has nothing to do with him, it is definitely not an accident that Johnny is here. This means that Mephisto is going to do something, and we have to keep an eye on him."
"What are you going to do?" Miles was not impatient. He just asked, "You also targeted him today, but did you do anything?"
Danny said irritably, "I've told S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Sorcerer Supreme. But they don't seem to take it seriously. Only one psychiatrist believes me, but he's just an ordinary person and can't help me."
Stark said in his heart: "Just because you can treat Schiller as an ordinary person, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Sorcerer Supreme are right not to take you seriously."
"Well, we can help you." Stark glanced at Moon Knight, then said, "If you want to deal with Mephisto, what are you going to do?"
"We should get Johnny under control first," Danny said. "He's been working for Mephisto."
"Why do I feel that you are not targeting Mephisto, but Johnny?" Miles frowned and said, "If your target is just a certain devil's agent, you shouldn't act like you are going to go to war with Hell tomorrow. Then maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Sorcerer Supreme will choose to help you."
Danny was obviously choked. But at this moment, Moonlight Knight swung his staff violently, and the power brewing in the center of the crescent moon burst out instantly, hitting Danny and sending him flying backwards.
Stark and Miles were both stunned, but then Stark discovered that something flew out of Danny's body.
A disembodied shadow let out a scream, and the others were caught off guard and felt as if their brains were hit by something.
The Moonlight Knight swung his staff again, and a beam of moonlight enveloped the phantom. The phantom fled in panic, and the Moonlight Knight appeared from the moonlight again, poking the ground with his staff.
hum-
The invisible power wavered, and the moon hanging above the fountain shone brighter and brighter. In the moonlight, Stark saw that the hazy shadow was a floating ghost.
Stark instinctively took a step back.
"Don't be afraid, sir, it's not a ghost." Jarvis said, "It's some kind of energy creature, probably formed by the mutation of brain waves after a person dies."
"Isn't that a ghost?!"
“This is a rigorous scientific explanation.”
The Moonlight Knight stretched out his staff, and the moonlight turned into countless slender tentacles, which tightly bound the ghost and pulled it down.
"Who are you?" asked Moon Knight.
"Let me go! You damn demon!" The ghost kept struggling. After being pulled closer, Stark saw that it seemed to be a woman, a bit old, and dressed like a modern person.
Stark went over to check on the unconscious Danny. Jarvis scanned him and found nothing wrong. Stark patted him and woke him up.
Danny was a little dazed when he woke up. When he saw the figure floating in the air, he struggled to get up and said, "Mom, are you okay? Let her go, she is my mother!"
"Ms. Frances." Moonlight Knight called out the name.
The woman turned to look at him, but there was nothing beneath her hood, as if only light was holding the cloak up.
"How do you know my name?"
"He can tell fortunes," Miles answered. Stark glared at him because he wanted to answer as well.
"Okay, but that's no reason for you to treat a lady so rudely. Now, let me go."
Moonlight Knight took back his staff but did not untie it. He stood there silently looking at Ms. Francis, and after a while he spoke: "No one can enter the Moonlight realm without my permission."
"You always like to say such big words..."
Before Ms. Francis could finish her words, Moonlight Knight struck the ground with his staff again.
The next second, the moonlight outside the window suddenly dimmed, and everyone looked out and saw that the moon over New York City had disappeared.
Suddenly, the moonlight returned to normal. Jarvis said in Stark's earphone: "The moon in New York did disappear just now, but the celestial moon did not disappear. He should have blocked the reflection of the moon, making the moon temporarily unobservable."
Miles was also shocked by this move. Danny quickly said to Ms. Francis, "Mom, don't be like this. Moonlight Knight is very strong. He is the spokesperson of the Moon Goddess. The Goddess said he is reliable..."
"Goddess?" Stark stared at him and asked, "Which goddess?"
Danny stopped talking. Ms. Francis said, "I'm here just to remind you not to trust Mephisto and his messengers. They are plotting a conspiracy to overthrow Hell."
"What does this have to do with you?" Miles asked very directly.
"If Mephisto controls Hell, it will be a disaster for Earth!" Ms. Francis said in a raised voice.
"You mean, he could, despite being blocked by the Ancient One, directly break the Earth's magical defense network, ignore the interference from Asgard, the Time Bureau, and the Doujie, easily wipe out all the mages and the Avengers of Kamar-Taj, and not care about the views of the Universe Administrator Eternity, and completely destroy the Earth?"
After Stark finished speaking, Jarvis said, "Dr. Schiller once told me that you have low emotional intelligence. I don't agree with his opinion, but I still think that we should leave room for maneuver when speaking, so as not to make the other party too embarrassed and angry."
Ms. Francis was obviously stuck. Danny said anxiously, "Even if he can't completely destroy the earth, it will definitely cause a disaster, at least many innocent people will die. Just like this time, we must stop him!"
"We're back to square one," Miles said, looking at Danny. "How are you going to stop him? Even if we control Johnny, he can't harm Mephisto at all, right?"
"I think we should first form a team," Danny said, "to specifically deal with Mephisto, and also to handle magical matters."
"The New York Temple is the place that deals with magic, and the Sorcerer Supreme is also in New York." Miles said, "Do you think you are stronger than the Sorcerer Supreme?"
“He can’t see everything,” Danny said. “He can’t see every corner of New York, and we can solve the problems that he doesn’t notice.”
Miles nodded and said, "Well, that's a reason. The Sorcerer Supreme is indeed very busy. I'm afraid he doesn't want to take care of this matter."
"Then let's form a team." Stark pointed at the people in the circle and said, "Just a few of us."
"No!" Danny said, "These people are no match for you. You don't know how to use magic. You can't defeat Mephisto with guns and cannons."
"So I defeated the monster with guns and cannons?" Stark said impatiently, "Boy, I have to remind you that this is not your turn to form a team, and you will not be the captain. If you want to join, stay, if you don't want to, get out. Do you understand?"
"You...you can't do this! Aren't superheroes supposed to work together?"
"It seems that you have never intended to work together." Miles reminded, "We are not your ideal candidates, but I can tell you very confidently that even if you can find your ideal candidates, you will never be able to take the leadership of the team from them. Do you expect the Supreme Sorcerer to listen to you?"
"He wants to recruit Stephen into the team?" Stark was surprised again. He looked Danny up and down and said, "I'm asking sincerely, if you and Stephen are in the same team, what is your role?"
"Alright." Moonlight Knight finally spoke, waved his staff, and said, "There's no point in arguing, let's leave here."
As the moonlight fell, everyone except the Moonlight Knight appeared in the alley. They also knew that they could not continue the conversation today, so they had to disband.
In the reception room, Schiller took off his hood, threw his staff aside, yawned and said, "It's not hard to be a superhero."
He turned around and saw Kong Su slumped in the corner. The fire in the eyes of the terrifying falcon head was almost unable to jump, and his roar echoed in the palace.
"Of course it's not difficult for you...because I did all the work!!!"
Kong Su: I am exhausted.
