Infinite Stream Metaverse

Chapter 115
Westchester National Forest.

On the other side of the verdant mountain forest, there are ugly mine pits that are exposed one after another. After mining the coal and iron ore, the mining company just simply buried them. The large and small mine pits are like scars on the mountains.

There are some small pits where rainwater gathers, and the rainwater precipitates some other associated minerals in the crushed ore. The blue and green pools seem to have a poisonous beauty from a distance.

After the mysterious person bought the abandoned mine, he did not completely repair it and start a new round of excavation. Instead, he just placed some no-entry signs and roadblocks at the entrance of the road, and sent special guards to seal it off. Most of the places still maintain the original appearance.

From time to time, large trucks carrying unknown objects entered the mine, but no ore was ever seen being transported out.

At this time, in the dark and deep mine.

Numerous staggered and integrated three-dimensional mines form a complex network. The reincarnators of perfect human beings wrap several sections of the mines with translucent waterproof cloth to prevent water seepage in the mines that have been in disrepair for a long time, and then reinforce them with steel frame structures. A crumbling mine.

It was under such crude conditions that the reincarnations pulled in generator sets, lighting fixtures and various instruments and equipment, and began their secret experiments.

In the dimly lit mine tunnel, a curly bearded man in a white coat was standing in front of the centrifuge patiently waiting for the blood sample mixture to be separated, and several assistants in white coats were walking around.

A young man wearing a cap and black gloves walked up to him and said in a low voice:

"Mandel, the members of our vigilance in the town have lost contact."

The curly bearded man raised his head and asked:
"What's going on, was killed by someone from a hostile society?"

The young man shook his head and said:
"You'd better come and see for yourself."

Curly Beard put down his work, and followed the peaked cap to another mine tunnel. Here, there is a circle of metal chassis and display screens. What is played on the screen is the surveillance images of all the surveillance probes in the town. .

The peaked cap pointed to one of the screens and said:

"look."

The curly beard looked at the screen, and there was a black and white rough silent picture:

Tramp A took out his revolver, shot and killed his companion, and then walked out of the surveillance screen in a daze.

In the picture on another screen next to it, homeless man A walks slowly into the gate of a hotel with a pistol in hand.

Hotel signboard: Dolphin Holiday Hotel.

The curly bearded man frowned, looked at this scene, and said doubtfully:
"Abel betrayed?"

The man in the cap shook his head and said:
"do not know."

Curly Beard then asked:

"And then, where did he go?"

The peaked cap shakes his head:
"He didn't go anywhere, he walked into this hotel and never came out again."

Could it be that Abel is a mole planted in Perfect Man by other reincarnation societies?Then why didn't he come out after entering the hotel?

This is not reasonable.

Besides, Abel's rank is very low, otherwise he would not have been sent to the small town as a sentinel. He has no access to the organization's confidential internal information. What else can he do besides killing a companion when he rebels at this time?

The curly beard frowned in thought.

He raised his head, looked at the peaked cap, and said:
"Go and investigate in that hotel to see what's going on."

The peaked cap nodded and said:
"By the way, haven't you caught the experimental subject that escaped that day?"

Curly Beard shook his head slightly: "No, that guy is still playing hide-and-seek with us in the mine, so you can only go there alone, there is no extra manpower to send you now, the law enforcement team will block all the mines and gradually narrow down the search range, get him out sooner or later!"

The man in the peaked cap snorted coldly, cursed in a low voice, "Waste Edgar", but still nodded his head in understanding, and then took his orders and left.

……

The man in the cap was wearing a leather jacket and gloves on his hands. He looked up at the tall sign and walked slowly into the lobby of the Dolphin Holiday Hotel.

In the bright and tidy lobby, behind the front desk, a handsome waiter bowed slightly, with a slightly stiff smile on his face, and said to the man in the cap:

"Hello, sir, welcome to Dolphin Holiday Hotel, how can I help you?"

The man in the cap went straight to the front desk and said:
"Show me the recent check-in list."

The waiter smiled and said:

"Sorry, sir, this involves the privacy of the guests, we can't...uh!"

Before he could finish speaking, a big hand wearing a black glove clasped his neck, lifting him up a few inches from the ground abruptly.

The man in the cap stared coldly into the waiter's eyes without saying anything.

The waiter's face was flushed, and he struggled in a hurry, and handed a form behind the front desk to the table.

The man in the peaked cap let go of his hand, picked up the form and flipped through it.

The waiter suddenly fell back to his seat, clutching his neck and gasping for breath.

The man in the peaked cap ignored the waiter, and glanced at the form one by one, scattered check-in information, and then saw:
Jonathan Abel, check-in date: August 8, room: No. 27, 14th Floor, Deluxe Mountain View Suite.

"Humph."

The man in the peaked cap snorted coldly, put down the form, and walked towards the elevator.

But he didn't notice that the frightened waiter behind him faded away, slowly stood up straight, and regained a stiff smile.

……

"Ding dong!"

The elevator door opened, and the man in the peaked cap walked into the carpeted corridor and came to the door with the "1408" number plate.

"boom!"

Punch through the door lock, push the door open and enter.

The living room of the suite was empty, with a few newspapers on the sofa and some ashes in the ashtray on the coffee table.

The man in the peaked cap walked into the living room, looked at several rooms, and said slowly:

"Jonathan Abel, I am Iron Hand, I know you are inside, come out, let's chat."

The suite was quiet, the bedroom and bathroom doors were open, and no one responded to him.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound behind him, and the man in the peaked cap looked back, and the door closed automatically.

"drop!"

An old-fashioned timer on the bedside table in the master bedroom suddenly made a sound. The man in the peaked cap named Iron Hand turned his head to look. The red numbers on the timer changed rapidly, and finally, it was fixed on the number "60:00".

"59:59"

"59:58"

The bedside timer started an hour countdown.

Iron Hand frowned inexplicably.

What do you mean?
"God babbling."

Tieshou snorted disdainfully, ignored the closed door behind him, walked into the master bedroom, and searched carefully in the closet, under the bed, and under the carpet. Except for a few puddles of dried blood, there was nothing No.

But a hotel room with so much blood in it seemed very eerie.

At this time, in the real room No. 1408.

The plastic doll turned around and asked:

"Are you going to walk him through the process of "1408 Phantom of the Dead" and break through his psychological defense?"

Zhang Yuning shook her head and said:

"No, on the contrary, he can't be made to realize that this is a supernatural event. The world of reincarnation has always had a horror movie universe, and he can't be allowed to think in this way."

In the room, Tie Shou searched all the rooms, but found nothing. Looking at the countdown timer, he felt agitated and couldn't help punching the timer.

"boom--"

With a bang, the timer erupted with a large burst of flames, and the orange flames instantly engulfed the man in the cap. He watched as his clothes and gloves were burned, and his skin and flesh were scorched and rolled, excruciating pain It was heard that only the two silver-white steel arms were left intact.

……

Iron Hand slowly woke up from his coma.

Opening his eyes, he found himself lying in the mine tunnel.

Iron Hand groaned in pain, raised his neck from the pulley stretcher, and found that his whole body was wrapped in bandages, and a voice beside him asked with concern:

"Tie Hand, are you awake?"

Tieshou turned his head and looked in surprise, saying:
"Mandel, what happened? Why am I here?"

Mandel with the curly beard said: "Have you forgotten? You were bombed at the Dolphin Holiday Hotel, and the whole hotel was blown into ruins. We rescued you from the ruins."

Tieshou was taken aback for a moment, and immediately recalled that he blew that weird and annoying timer with a punch, and it turned out to be a bomb, and he seemed to have lost consciousness at the last moment because of the explosion.

Thinking of this, Tie Shou quickly asked:
"And what about Jonathan Abel?"

Mandel looked dignified and said:
"This is the tricky situation I'm going to tell you now. That guy was captured by the law enforcement team when he left the town. The law enforcement team tortured him to extract a confession. In his confession, he said..."

Having said that, Mandel gave Iron Hand a strange look, and said:
"He said you made him do it."

Hearing the words, Tie Shou stared and scolded:

"He farts!"

Mandel sighed and said:
"I don't believe you did it either. You have no reason to do so, but Edgar and the others insist on going through the process. They want to interrogate you. Now you have extensive burns all over your body. I am worried that under their methods, you will be very injured." It's hard to hold on."

Tieshou showed a ferocious face and roared angrily:
"Of course, I knew that that piece of shit just wanted to avenge the public, and I won't give in!"

Mandel said:

"What if you don't give in? Now you are burned all over your body except those two arms. What do you use to fight Edgar? He also has a valid reason for interrogating you, at least you are involved in Abel's confession."

Hearing the words, Tie Shou's expression changed for a moment, he panted angrily, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

He slowly raised his head, looked at Mandel, gritted his teeth and said:

"I can't sit still. I'm going out to find Lord Jerome. I'm going to report to him alone. I can't let that idiot Edgar succeed. He's been coveting my hands for a long time. Damn it."

Mandel looked puzzled and said:
"Can you contact Lord Jerome alone?"

Iron Hand nodded.

Mandel thought for a while, didn't ask any more questions, but reminded him:
"But you can't get out now, the law enforcement team has sealed off the entire mine."

Iron Hand said without hesitation:
"I can pass through the crack in the northwest corner, the crack leading to the underground river."

After finishing speaking, Tieshou was slightly taken aback, as if thinking of something, looked at Mandel suspiciously, and said:

"No, we discovered that crack together. You should also know the existence of that crack."

Mandel's expression froze, and a strange and penetrating smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I didn't know it before, but I know it now."

……

Mandel came to the monitoring room and asked a reincarnation on duty:
"Isn't the iron hand back yet?"

The reincarnation shook his head and said:

"Master Tie Shou hasn't come out since he entered that hotel. I'm watching all the surveillance cameras around the hotel."

The man with the curly beard walked back into the laboratory, pacing back and forth a little uneasy, thinking and thinking, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, he raised his head and said to the assistants around him:

"Speed ​​up the progress of the original plan, and double the test intensity of several receptors that are currently undergoing experiments."

Hearing this, one of the white coat assistants reminded:
"My lord, if the test intensity is doubled, these people will be overwhelmed, and the death rate will increase greatly."

Mandel waved his hand and said:
"I have some bad premonitions. We may not have much time. Complete this batch of experiments as soon as possible, and catch people after they die."

Having said that, Mandel's face was rather ugly, and he said:
"A few of you don't understand the current situation. 80.00% of the mutant members of our X reincarnation are from the main Marvel universe. This time we failed to prevent the occurrence of M-Day. The mutant branch was almost wiped out, accounting for the community As soon as the X Samsara with one-third of the combat power disappeared, those reincarnation societies that had long had grievances all came to make trouble one after another. The fifth dimension, the Zero Realm Guild, the Songcai Wo Brotherhood, the Lion Dance... are all sending people to attack We perfect the human base and stronghold in the main Marvel Universe."

As he said that, Curly Beard couldn't help cursing to himself:
"This time, taking advantage of the opening of a new Marvel comics universe in the world of reincarnation, I entered this main world with manpower and equipment, just to avoid the flames of war in the 616 universe. We have already acted very covertly, and have not participated in the main plot. , damn it, how could such a thing happen?"

When the assistants around saw that he was angry, they didn't dare to take it up, they lowered their heads and carried out their experiments silently.

……

Tieshou opened his eyes and found himself lying on the big bed in the hotel suite. Before he could react, Kayako turned into a distorted black mist and enveloped him. Blood, dead.

There were two chairs quietly placed beside the bed, and an indifferent woman and a plastic doll sat on the chairs.

Upton Dupont turned his head and asked:
"If you can see his memory, can't you dig clues directly from his memory? Why listen to him talking to himself here for half a day."

Zhang Yuning shook her head and said:
"I can't directly read his memory. These scenes are not entirely hallucinations created by Valak, but the man himself based on his own subconscious fantasy. In other words, he is dreaming, not me. Illusion."

Upton understood and said:

"The man with the curly beard I described to you before should be more trustworthy in this person's heart, and the man named Edgar should be the person he usually has enemies with, so he will subconsciously imagine these contents. .”

Zhang Yuning said:

"That's right, and that man named Jerome may be the most powerful reincarnation sent by perfect humans to this main world this time. Have you heard of this man?"

Upton DuPont thought about it carefully, and said:
"I haven't heard of it at all. Um...it shouldn't be. Perfect people used to act very high-profile. If it's their high-level combat power, it shouldn't be unknown... Jerome may be his name in Perfect people. It has another name outside."

Zhang Yuning nodded and said, "The good news now is that we know that this man named Jerome is not in the mine laboratory for the time being, and we also know how to avoid the law enforcement team and leave the mine."

"Then what's the next step?" Upton Dupont then asked.

He knew that the abilities of Zhang Yuning's two evil spirits could only be brought into play when they were attached to a building. Although he had obtained a lot of key information, Zhang Yuning was not good at breaking into a mine occupied by perfect humans, so he asked this question .

Zhang Yuning laughed lightly and said:
"Have you not been online recently? During the two days we stayed in the small town, a lot of things happened in New York outside."

Upton Dupont looked blank and said:
"whats the matter?"

Zhang Yuning threw a tablet over, got up and left the room, saying:

"Open any video site, search for 'Battle of Manhattan', and watch for yourself."

After speaking, he left the suite.

…………

　Thank you, all the names I remembered have been taken up. Just after the scenery was posted, I was rewarded by two book friends. I found that the leave note I posted in the work related section seems to be invisible to everyone, but it’s okay. I will resume updating today.
