Chapter 574: Return
Chapter 574: Return
"The Times..."
"Yesterday, Newcastle was suspected of being hit by a meteorite, which was as destructive as the Tunguska explosion, resulting in none of the civilians surviving. The last Viscount of the Wattley family, Sir Wilbur, unfortunately died."
"The great King of Britain, George IV, deeply mourned for the Newcastle. He was prepared to personally attend the ceremony and pray for the dead people."
"This is the most painful day in history of the Great Britain. Let us mourn for the dead people and pray for these poor people."
In a house, Constantine closed the newspaper in his hand. There was a trace of fear in his eyes, and his face was full of horror. He said, "Are you sure? You actually destroyed an entire city?"
Lod, who was sitting on the chair, looked like he was not surprised. He leisurely picked up the teacup at the table and took a sip. "A battle involving the gods only caused this degree of destruction. I think you should be glad."
"But even so." Constantine still found it hard to accept that a city was erased from the map. Presumably, the destructive power of an atomic bomb was only so.
"He is right. You should feel lucky." A black cat lay in Lod's arms and said calmly, If that thing were to descend, it wouldn't just be a city that would be destroyed, but the entire Earth.
Hiss.
Constantine sucked in a breath of cold air. Looking at his body that was still intact, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems like my life is really tough. I was able to survive even after encountering such a thing."
"Don't you want to know what happened after you fainted?" Lod raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"No, I don't want to know!"
Constantine hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head frantically. "Don't tell me that the more you know, the more dangerous it will be. I don't want to be involved again!"
According to his experience, there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind the matters related to the level of Divine Descending. It was definitely not something an ordinary person like him could participate in.
The first trick to saving his life was to not ask what he should not ask and to not pursue what he should not know. Regarding this, he could be said to be very knowledgeable.
He was quite self-aware.
It was just that with Constantine's eyesight, he had probably already discovered the truth from the clues, which was why he was so afraid.
Lod had a meaningful look in his eyes. He smiled and did not expose him. Instead, he changed the topic. "Have you found the person I asked you to find?"
"Yes, she is lucky."
Constantine heaved a sigh of relief and immediately replied, "According to the guidance of magic, she should be in Edinburgh. Other than her poor health, there should be no problems in other aspects."
"That's good."
Lod also let out a sigh of relief. Although he knew that the probability of something happening to Potts was low, he was still a little worried. Since he knew that the person was fine, he could give Tony an explanation.
"Since we have found him, Constantine and I will not wait for you. Let's return to the original time and space first." The black cat said.
"Sure."
Lod nodded slightly. Anyway, there was only the ending left. It was fine to let them go back first, so he turned to Constantine and said, "When you go back, you can go to Queens in New York and find me in a grocery store called Spirit Cleansing Pavilion."
"Uh. Can I not go?"
Constantine hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "I think I am more used to being alone. I feel a little uncomfortable joining the Soul Society you mentioned."
"According to the law of Soul Society."
Lod showed a kind smile and said, "Anyone who does not get the consent of Soul Society and has the power of death god will be hunted by the Gotei 13th until it is completely destroyed."
"I am kidding!"
Constantine trembled and forced a smile on his face. "To tell you the truth, I like Soul Society the most. And my dream since childhood was to become death god, Soul Society, and so on. He is the best!"
Lod stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I admit it. When I go back and don't see you, I will tell Soul Society that someone has seized my power. Please send a captain to pursue me."
"We are all acquaintances. Is there a need to be so extreme? Don't you believe in my character?" Constantine looked down at his shoulder. There was a Kido mark on the place where he had been patted. Moreover, it could not be removed at all. He immediately revealed a look of despair.
"Hehe."
Lod replied with a sneer.
To believe in Constantine's character, it was better to believe in Mephisto. Although these two people were not good people, at least the demons would abide by the contract.
"I'm leaving."
Lod waved his hand and turned to leave directly with Hoho.
Constantine stared at the mark on his shoulder and did not speak for a long time. His eyes flashed with hesitation.
"I advise you to listen to him the best."
The black cat leisurely walked over, jumped onto his shoulder, found a comfortable position and laid down, saying, "This matter is far from over, and you are already involved."
"I know."
Constantine sighed and said, "From the very beginning, I knew that once I was involved in this kind of trouble, it would be impossible for me to get away. Soul Society should be a good choice. "
...
...
...
Time returned to the present.
The Citibank branch in the center of New York, since Tony reported a special incident, was seized by S.H.I.E.L.D. under the guise of CIA, and three elite combat teams were dispatched to block the entire upper lobby of the bank.
As for the secret vault of the lowest level, it was left to Tony Stark to guard it.
In order to ensure that Potts could return safely, Tony had arranged a total of ten or eight steel armor at all costs to guard the position of the vault door.
Without his permission, anyone who tried to force their way in would be hit by a fierce artillery fire, even S. H. I. E. L. D. was no exception.
So up until now, other than the director, the other soldiers in charge of guarding, including Hydra and former director Pierce, did not know what was going on underground.
Tony sat on the ground without any grace. His clothes were torn apart. Next to him was a pile of coffee cups and hamburger paper. With two large dark circles under his eyes, he stared at Bakudo's barrier with bloodshot eyes.
It had been a full sixty hours since Lod left. During this time, he had not slept. He had relied on cups of coffee to hold on until now.
He did not dare to sleep.
He was afraid that as long as he closed his eyes, the Weeping Angel trapped inside would break the seal and escape. At that time, Potts would be dead!
This was the first time he had not slept for two days and two nights for a woman, but Tony did not feel that there was a problem.
Just as he was thinking about it and trying to not fall asleep, the transparent barrier in front of him suddenly shook, and then two figures walked out.
Tony was suddenly awakened. He forced himself to look and found that it was actually the little pepper Potts that he had been waiting for a long time!
"Tony!"
Potts was just an ordinary person. After experiencing this strange event, she was so scared that his face turned pale. At this moment, when she saw the familiar Tony, she immediately ran into the man's arms and cried loudly.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm here, I'm here." Tony knew that Potts was very afraid. He gently patted her back and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, everything is over. I won't let anything happen to you, Potts."
As the saying goes, one day without seeing each other is like three days apart. Two days without seeing each other is probably six.
A pair of adulterous couple carried each other in front of Lod, and even their saliva splashed out.
When he fought with the incomplete god, he had never been so seriously injured.
The corners of Lod's mouth twitched. He really didn't want to look at this couple anymore. After putting the Weeping Angel statue and the enchantment into the shadow space, he took advantage of the time when the two of them forgot themselves and directly left.
Spirit Cleansing Pavilion.
Pushing open the bell door, he saw Nemu with two white and tender feet, holding a big bucket of ice cream, sitting on the sofa watching cartoons, laughing from time to time.
"Ah ---Brother"
Nemu was so scared that her face turned pale. She hurriedly hid the big bucket of ice cream behind her, like a child who had been caught by a parent on the spot when he had done something wrong.
However, the bucket of ice cream was really too big. It was almost half the size of Nemu. Even if it was hidden behind her back, Lod could see it at a glance.
Nemu knew that she was wrong. She stared at Lod with a pair of big black eyes and looked pitifully at him. She said timidly, "I'm sorry, brother. I couldn't help but eat a little bit of ice cream."
A little bit.
Lod glanced at the ice cream bucket. There was only a third of the ice cream left, and the shape of the spoon was full of potholes. Suddenly, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle. He raised his hand and rubbed Nemu's head.
