Chapter 145 Gotham’s First Celebration

The sun will set in the west.

Hela walked towards the dressing room with tired steps.

For some reason, she felt that the colleagues around her looked at her in a strange way.

Could it be that bastard boss who is behind this again?

Hela felt a little helpless and might really have to prepare to change her job.

"Hella!"

While I was thinking, a colleague with whom I usually had a good relationship came over.

She lowered her head and said softly: "Two people came here before. They seemed to be looking for you. They entered the boss's office and did not come out."

Find your own?

Hela couldn't help but ask: "What do the boys and girls look like?"

Could it be that he was a playmate who grew up together in the orphanage and came to see him when he encountered any difficulties?

"Both are men, one is tall and blond, and one is Asian."

With such obvious characteristics, Hela thought for a while, she probably didn't know such a person.

"I'll go take a look."

Hela sighed. If she could, she really didn't want to go to that bastard office.

After changing into her own clothes, Hela went upstairs. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw an Asian sitting at the door of the office.

He has black hair and black eyes, and he looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Hela was not very old in this life, she had just graduated from high school.

The other party spoke first at this time: "Hela Odinson?"

"It's me." Hela frowned, "Are you looking for me?"

"My name is Lorraine."

Lorraine thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I'm not looking for you, it's my friend who is looking for trouble. He is in the office right now, discussing with your boss about harassment in the workplace.

"You'd better not enter the office now, otherwise the picture might be a little... ugly."

Hela frowned, wondering why two people suddenly appeared to stand up for her.

There was a hint of caution in her tone: "Who are you? We should have never met."

"Indeed, I have nothing to do with you."

Lorraine pointed to the office, "The guy inside asked me to accompany him. His name is Thor Odinson."

Odinson? !

Hela's eyes suddenly opened wide.

The same last name as mine!

In the past ten years, Hela has never had a family and has no clue about her life experience.

One winter morning, she was abandoned at the door of the orphanage when she was still in her infancy.

The name Hela Odinson was written on a piece of paper, tucked between the swaddling clothes.

Hela still keeps that note.

She also searched for her own life experience and searched for the surname Odinson through the police system, but found nothing.

There is no one named Odinson in New Jersey.

And now, she meets the second Odinson!

Hela's breathing was a little rapid. Could this person be her relative?
His relatives came to find him! ?

While Hela was thinking wildly, the office door opened.

Thor came out with his neck twisted.

"That guy will have to stay in bed for at least a month. It's a warning. He dares to molest my sister..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Hela outside the door.

The two looked at each other, both frozen in place, not knowing how to speak.

A connection from deep within the bloodline made Hela suddenly convinced that this big blond man was definitely her relative!

She opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to speak.

Sol scratched his face and said hello with some restraint: "Hi..."

His emotions were different from Hela's.

Although Hela looks much younger now, the scene of her stabbing herself and blinding her eyes still echoes in Thor's mind.

Even as a bystander, it left a big psychological shadow.

He tried to organize his words: "My name is Thor, Thor Odinson. If you guessed correctly, I should be your brother."

"younger brother……"

Hela looked at Sol's face with some disbelief.

This face is at least 25, right?
Lorraine saw Hela's doubts and quickly explained: "He just grows faster. It's not unusual for a boy. In fact, he is only 17 years old this year!"

17 years old?That's right.

In Hela's self-perception, she is now 19 years old, and it is normal to have a 17-year-old brother.

Did his family really come to find him? !

Thor stepped forward and said: "Well... what happened back then was very complicated. I will tell you slowly later, but you can believe me, I am really your brother!"

Hela stared at Thor's eyes, trying to find even a trace of lying.

But Sol was honest in his heart, and he really came to see his sister sincerely.

"younger brother?"

"it's me!"

Sol showed a naive smile, "I'm here to find you!"

"younger brother……"

Hela suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.

This turn of events left Sol at a loss. He could only clumsily step forward and gently hug his sister.

"Wow-"

Hela hugged Thor fiercely, hugging him tighter and tighter, and her crying became louder and louder.

She buried her head in Sol's arms, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered in the past.

"I never changed my name!"

She sobbed and said, "I'm afraid if I change my name, you won't be able to find me!"

"No, no!"

Thor comforted Hela and said, "No matter what you become, I will definitely find you!"

Hela is actually very tall, but she also looks a little thin in Thor's arms.

"Sister, come home with me!"

……

Lorraine and Thor had previously discussed not letting Hela know about Asgard for the time being.

But it can slowly bring her into contact with the extraordinary world.

Observe how Hela will behave after knowing about the extraordinary existence.

Hela brought Thor and the others to their current residence.

It was a small rental room, only about ten square meters, which was the best condition that Hella could afford now.

After seeing this, Sol felt distressed.

He complained a little about his father. Is this kind of exile really meaningful?

On the way here, Thor had already told a story about Hela's life experience.

Of course, except for the relationship between the characters, almost everything else was made up by Lorraine.

"Our family, the Odinson family, is not as simple as you think."

Thor said matter-of-factly, "We are a family of demon hunters. We use our belief in the Nordic gods as our source of power and have been fighting against monsters for thousands of years."

But when it came to this point, Hela fell into huge self-doubt.

My brother is not a fool, right?
But soon, Thor showed her a fingertip discharge, making Hela recognize the setting of the Witcher family.

Hela murmured: "No wonder I haven't lost a fight since I was a child. Is it also because of the demon hunter's physique?"

"Well...that should be the reason."

Thor said vaguely, "You know, the Demon Hunter family has many enemies. Some bad people took you away from your parents, and we have never been able to find you..."

Saul really didn't want to go into too much detail about this experience.

It was all Odin's fault. If Thor wanted to hide it for him, he could only lie.

But relationships developed from lying will eventually cause problems.

So he could only focus on himself and Hela as much as possible, at least his desire to save his sister was true.

Try to mention everything else in one go.

"Am I being snatched away?"

Hela gritted her teeth and suddenly asked, "Is she a woman with half a beautiful face and half a skeleton?"

Hearing this description, Saul was shocked and couldn't help but look at Lorraine.

This image is that of Hela, the god of death!
Now that she is a mortal, she still remembers what she looked like when she was a god?
"Ahem!" Lorraine coughed lightly, "Why do you remember this face?"

"Because I often dream about this guy!"

Hela's face showed fear, "I have a dream almost every month. I dream about this person standing on a mountain made of bones. She just looks at me like that, her lips move, as if she is talking to me! "

"I don't know much about this. The scene was very chaotic at the time, and my parents were unwilling to mention this past event too much."

Saul still wanted to fool this part, but Lorraine suddenly spoke.

"There is indeed such a person, but she is not a bad person. She protects your god, Hela, the god of death. This is also the origin of your name!"

Lorraine thought clearly.

Although the God of Death cannot be brought back now, Hela cannot be completely separated from her original self.

When she regains her memory, the shock of knowing the truth is enough to turn all warmth into hatred.

At this time, Hela also had her own understanding of Lorraine's words.

Thor has said before that the Odinson family uses their belief in the Nordic gods as their source of power.

Even the names are named after God.

Thor's patron saint is the God of Thunder, so he was named Thor.

She also has an adopted brother whose patron saint is the god of trickery, so he is named Loki.

It’s not surprising that his name is Hela.

"What about you?" Hela suddenly looked at Lorraine, "Who is your patron saint? I have never heard of the god Lorraine."

"I'm not a witcher."

Lorraine said seriously, "I am the child of the wizard's family next door, so I don't follow your naming rules."

Hela nodded and accepted this statement.

She turned to talk about the God of Death.

"If she is my patron saint, then I must have misunderstood her before."

Hela said to herself, "She appears in my dreams every month. She must want to see if I am doing well!"

Lorraine nodded in agreement: "That should be the case. Although the God of Death has death in his name, he is actually a very gentle God."

"Really!"

Hela smiled. It felt really good to be protected by a gentle god.

It turns out that I am never alone.

Even if your family is not around, there are still people watching over you.

And now she's back with her family.

Although Sol said that her parents are no longer in this world, she still has two younger brothers.

You have to act like a big sister!

……

New Jersey is only thirty miles away from New York.

But Hella has never been to New York, which is too far away for her.

Moreover, it is not realistic to abandon everything in life immediately and follow Sol to New York.

Hela asked Thor to give her some time to prepare, and when she has processed everything, she will go to New York to find Thor.

Thor agreed and left Hela his email address, and she was welcome to email him at any time.After doing this, Sol and Lorraine said goodbye and left.

"call--"

Returning to the Holy of Holies, Thor breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The situation was much better than he imagined.

Originally, he was mentally prepared to face an evil and domineering sister.

Just like what I saw in the movies, it makes people kneel down at every turn.

But the last thing he saw was a Hela that he couldn't help but feel sad for.

Even after knowing that her parents were no longer alive, she still wanted to protect her Hela.

Strictly speaking, Saul didn't lie.

Odin and Frigga are indeed no longer alive.

But at this time, he still felt guilty about lying, and felt that he should not deceive Hela like this.

He had a feeling, like the connection between brother and sister.

Tonight, Hela will secretly bury herself in her pillow and cry, mourning her parents.

"How about we just tell her the truth?"

Sol said guiltily, "I really can't bear to lie to my sister like this."

Lorraine shook her head and said: "Isn't the truth more cruel? Her biological parents have exiled her, and her younger brother may even kill each other. Do you think this is what a 19-year-old girl can bear?"

19 year old girl?
Saul couldn't help but glance at Lorraine. This kid is only 17 years old this year, right?
Lorraine didn't pay attention to this look and continued: "And if Hela regains her memory under this stimulation, have you thought about how to deal with her?"

Sol was silent.

He really wasn't ready for this yet.

"So, take your time."

This is indeed the only way, Hela is just like her appearance after becoming a god.

One half symbolizes beauty, and the other half represents death.

Now as a mortal, she shows a beautiful side, but once she regains the power of death, everything will be hard to say.

"I will work hard to increase my strength!"

Thor said from the bottom of his heart, "The moment I can defeat Hela, I will be able to face her with the most sincerity!"

"Then come on."

Lorraine can only believe in Saul now.

……

Late night, Queens.

Peter Parker was woken up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Eric standing next to his bed.

"You still have the face to see me!?"

Peter was instantly furious. He had not forgotten Eric forcibly injecting himself with the serum.

He still thinks that D4C was born because of serum.

Eric quickly covered Peter's mouth.

"If you make it any louder, you will wake up everyone around you. Come out with me and tell me what I have to say!"

After saying that, Eric let go of his hand and climbed out of the window.

Peter snorted, casually put on a coat, and followed him out of the window.

Now that he has D4C with him, he doesn't worry about Eric being harmful to him at all.

After a while, the two came to the roof of Peter's house.

Eric sat there and said softly: "Have you awakened your superpower?"

Peter nodded, but was unwilling to explain to Eric what powers he had gained.

"It's good to awaken your ability, otherwise you won't be able to protect yourself at all."

Eric looked up at the night sky and said softly, "You know, I took a trip to Gotham."

Gotham City, the focus of recent news.

This city, which has represented chaos and crime since its establishment, is still guarded by countless mechanical soldiers.

Peter gave it a wide berth.

But for Eric, Gotham is the most fertile soil.

"I originally thought that with my superpowers, I could carve out a world there. As you know, those mechanical soldiers not only can't do anything to me, but will also be controlled by me."

Eric said to himself, "But I was wrong, there are so many talents in Gotham, you can't even imagine what I saw!"

"What did you see?"

Peter wanted to keep silent in response to Eric, but he couldn't help but speak at this time.

"I saw a giant bomb!"

Eric didn't hide anything and told Peter directly what he saw and heard in Gotham.

"That bomb will explode soon, and at least half of the people in this federation will be affected!"

"You bullshit."

Peter couldn't help but laugh, "Even if your bomb is more powerful than an atomic bomb, it can destroy a city at most. How can it possibly destroy half of the Federation?"

Eric looked at Peter meaningfully, shook his head and said, "You don't understand."

He didn't lie to Peter, but that doesn't mean he told the whole truth either.

In Gotham City, Eric meets his mentor, the Riddler.

After communicating with the Riddler, he willingly handed over his current serum formula.

Then came this bomb.

The giant bomb contained not gunpowder but serum.

The serum was debugged by Scarecrow and turned into poisonous gas.

As long as the bomb detonates, the serum gas will instantly cover the federation, and almost everyone will be affected.

And among them, half will gain superpowers.

With such a huge base, level five superhumans will no longer be unusual.

Eric wouldn't be surprised even if a higher level existence appeared.

From now on, the people of this federation will be divided into two groups, superhumans with superpowers, and ordinary people without superpowers.

Society will be completely divided.

This is exactly what Eric is looking forward to tomorrow.

But he didn't just let things happen naturally.

He knew very well that his enemy from beginning to end was the federal government that launched the bloody war.

But not those innocent federal civilians.

Especially now that Tony Stark appears, his hatred has even lessened a lot.

A future without war is very attractive to him.

So he decided to give humanity a chance, a small chance.

"Peter, I know you have no trust in me now, but what I just said is the truth."

Eric said calmly, "As for whether you take this matter seriously or not, that is your choice and has nothing to do with me."

Because of Lorraine, Peter is now interning at Stark Industries.

He had the opportunity to meet Tony Stark and convey what Gotham City was doing.

"The bomb will detonate tomorrow morning, so take care of yourself."

After saying that, Eric stood up, and the iron piece hidden in the sole of his shoe floated up, taking him flying into the air.

Peter was left standing there looking confused.

What kind of giant bomb could affect half of the Federation? Is he really not dreaming?
After thinking about it, he still felt that he needed to be more cautious.

After all, the detonation time is tomorrow morning.

Peter returned to his room, picked up his cell phone, and made a call.

The phone was connected, and Lorraine's confused voice came from the other side: "Peter?"

Very good, Lorraine is not sleeping either.

Peter Parker said: "Lorraine, I just heard some potentially important news. After thinking about it, I still have to tell you."

Then, he repeated what Eric said to himself.

"A bomb that can destroy half of the Federation, Peter, you're not awake, are you?"

"I didn't lie to you, and I also know that you have the ability to verify the authenticity of this news."

Peggy mentioned before that Lorraine knew the gods of Asgard.

Peter realized at that time that Lorraine was not as simple as he thought.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Lorraine said: "Okay, I will verify it, but should you also explain to me where you got this news?"

"I'll tell you at school tomorrow!"

If there is still tomorrow.

Peter hung up the phone and stayed on the roof for a while.

No matter what Eric had done to him before, it didn't look like he was lying just now.

Otherwise, Peter really couldn't understand why Eric had to come over late at night and tell him a bunch of nonsense.

"Now is the time for me to take action."

Since obtaining D4C, Peter knows that he must be very strong now, but he has never made a move against others.

Maybe I can verify it today.

"D4C, help me contact Mr. Peter Parker from before!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Lorraine sat on the bed, bleary-eyed.

With his current physical condition, he won't feel tired even if he doesn't sleep for a long time.

But he enjoys sleeping.

Peter's words just now were still echoing in his ears.

Is there a giant bomb in Gotham City?
Lorraine has known this for a long time. It was the plan proposed by Scarecrow in the Shadow Parliament.

Arrange a battle royale at the cost of destruction.

This serum bomb won't explode so easily.

This is Gotham City's first show, and the Joker will definitely make the most of it.

Going to Gotham now is like throwing yourself into a trap, and they are worried about not having any actors to participate in the show!

and many more……

Lorraine suddenly realized that after Peter made this call to herself, there was a 90.00% chance that he would also run to Gotham.

After all, the two cities are not far apart.

"Ugh!"

Lorraine sighed, it was like one wave after another.

……

On the Internet the next day, an invitation letter was sent to everyone's account.

No matter what software or device, as soon as you open it, this invitation will pop up.

The background on the cover of the invitation is Gotham City in the dark.

A line of gilded cursive characters appears on this background.

【Are you tired of today's life? 】

Just click on this sentence and you'll see the full text of the invitation.

That was the Joker's invitation to people across the Federation.

"Are you tired of today's life? Have you seen many superpowers, but you are just an ordinary person? Do you want to make a change and break the shackles that life has given you?

“Now, here’s the chance to change all that!

"You're going to be the next superpower.

“Next, please allow me to introduce you to Gotham City’s first major celebration.

"The name of this celebration is [The Hunger Games]!"
