Chapter 576: Darkness under the lamp!
In the dim room, wisps of scarlet energy kept surging and flowing.
A red-haired woman wearing dark red nun armor, sitting cross-legged and suspended in mid-air, was performing some weird and strange witchcraft ritual with repeated complex gestures.
And on the open ground within a hundred meters with the red-haired woman as the center point.
More than thirty naked men and women with skin of different colors engraved with countless mysterious lines maintained a stiff posture of kneeling and praying, and completely became sacrifices of the entire witchcraft ceremony!
"This is just an ancient prophecy witchcraft. It is also a large-scale witchcraft ceremony that I had to rely on Wanda's magical ability and the assistance of these sacrifices to barely complete."
"And they are just in a coma, not dead. These people are criminals responsible for several lives. I am just using them to make up the numbers. I am not as crazy as you think."
"Even if you don't believe my words, you should believe the style of the Weepers. If I capture people for sacrifice at random, I'm afraid the bomb will fall on me."
At this moment, Doom, wearing a dark green cloak that moved automatically without wind, drove the power armor forward.
He said as he stared at Jessica, whose expression had gradually eased, with his eyes remaining calm.
"Even if you are telling the truth, Doom, what are you doing?"
"I do know the importance of the Cosmic Cube from David, but he is just a mortal agent. Even with the help of alien races, what can he do? He can't escape from our grasp now. Is it worth it for you to repeatedly disobey David's transfer orders and even risk having your head crushed by my teacher?"
"Besides, you have seen those Chaos Demons a year ago, right? Even if this is just a witchcraft ritual, things involving blood sacrifice are taboos that we all know. Even if David and I help you conceal it this time, if Lord Rorschach finds out, have you considered the real consequences?"
Jessica let out a breath and her expression gradually became serious.
She looked at Doom who was nearby and spoke earnestly.
"Jessica, I am very grateful for your and Mr. David's trust in me, but I have no intention of hiding this matter. If Master Rorschach returns, I will tell him everything, and I will bear all the consequences alone."
"As for why I did this, in fact, at the beginning I was indeed fooled by a mortal agent several times, and I had some emotional obsessions."
"But later, I accidentally learned from a dying alien that Nick Fury was not only avoiding our pursuit, he was even trying to activate the Cosmic Cube!"
"According to the truth that Master Rorschach once told me, the Cosmic Cube actually contains a Space Gem. This Space Gem, which is related to the rules of the universe, can open a portal to any place in the universe, or randomly teleport the gem holder away!"
"You must remember, it's anywhere in the universe!"
"Jessica, you don't think our universe only has one dimension, the real space, do you?"
"Do you remember the witchcraft flame that I often use? It is a magical substance from the border of hell, which is just a fragment of a dimension without any master!"
"As for the hell dimension that is truly recorded in human myths and legends, I'm afraid only the Supreme Mage who has never been seen can risk setting foot in it..."
"And according to the witchcraft knowledge I have learned over the years, terrifying dimensions like hell are as numerous as grains of sand on the beach!"
"If Nick Fury simply escapes by activating the Cosmic Cube, we will just lose the chance to obtain the Space Stone. But if he accidentally opens a portal to those unknown dimensions, who knows what will come out of it?"
"Not to mention that the other party has now colluded with the alien race. Are we going to try our luck or hope that an agent of low character will show his conscience?"
At this moment, Doom told Jessica his judgment and the facts he knew without hesitation.
Jessica also gradually fell into a state of shock from her initial confusion and doubt.
Chi Chi Chi——
At this moment, with wisps of scarlet energy inside the room, energy ripples like rippling waves were once again set off.
The prophetic witchcraft ritual seems to have come to an end.
"Ah, is the ceremony about to end?"
However, just after Jessica was completely distracted by the sudden change in her surroundings.
Doom's originally calm eyes flickered a few times.
It seemed as if the other party deliberately concealed something and did not fully confess to Jessica.
Snap!
Not long after, all the scarlet energy quickly returned to Wanda's body like a tired bird returning to its nest.
It also made her, who was floating in the air, slowly fall to the ground.
Jessica and Doom looked at each other and immediately drove their power armor forward, surrounding Wanda.
"Teacher, the prophecy witchcraft is over. I think we have finally found their last hiding place!"
Wanda, who had just opened her eyes, said to Doom excitedly:
"If I'm not mistaken, they are on Manhattan Island, hiding in a huge space deep underground, and there are rubble and collapsed metal structures everywhere..."
"Underground? In New York's sewer system?"
At this moment, Doom frowned slightly when he heard Wanda's words, and muttered to himself.
However, at this moment, Jessica, who couldn't help but open her eyes wide, quickly knelt on one knee.
She stared at the somewhat shy Wanda and asked,
"Sister Wanda, do you feel that the appearance of that underground space and the metal structure look familiar? Or even like you've seen it somewhere before?"
"Hmm? I do have this illusion, but how did you know? Do you also have the supernatural power of prophecy?"
Wanda, with a dazed look in her eyes, shook her red-haired head slightly.
She asked, looking at Jessica in front of her.
"Oh my, this is really..."
At this moment, Jessica, whose expression changed back and forth several times, subconsciously clenched her teeth.
She first stared at Wanda in front of her, then turned to look at Doom, whose expression had become serious.
"Just before you two joined the team, Mr. David built the first base underground on Manhattan Island!"
"Damn Nick Fury actually played a trick on us and hid in our old home!"
Thank you for your support!
