I'm a party

Chapter 153: Tracing Rock's Trail

"Are you sure?" Luna stared at Fury with an ignorant and fearless look. "The demon I'm talking about is called Mephisto. Although I don't know why this book appeared in the world, but from what I remember, its previous owner was that cunning guy."

"The Lord of Hell!" Fury recalled the scene when Mephisto tore through space and descended on Earth. He immediately became uneasy. Could it be that the old demon had recovered from his injuries and was plotting against Earth again? With this thought, Fury wanted to call Doctor Strange immediately to discuss a strategy to resist the invasion of Hell.

"The most urgent task is to find this book. You should have collected most of the information." Lu Yifang's voice woke Fury from his daze.

"I do have clues about the whereabouts of the book." Fury knew the seriousness of the situation and no longer concealed it. He tapped his finger and a document appeared, with the "Energy Research Laboratory" logo at the top.

"This is a privately-founded research institute. Due to an accident, almost all the researchers disappeared mysteriously, leaving only one engineer, Eli, and the chief scientist. The latter was knocked unconscious by Eli for many years, and Eli was imprisoned for this reason."

"I talked to Eli as you suggested, but he didn't seem to trust me and refused to disclose the details." Coulson interrupted at this time.

"But it seems that someone else has successfully negotiated with him. They are the ghosts who fought with you and Melinda before. They are the missing scientists. The chief scientist who had been in a coma for many years suddenly woke up yesterday. He fell into extreme panic like Melinda and died soon after. Before he died, he informed our people that the Dark Book had been taken away by the ghosts."

"Then do you know where those ghosts are?" Lu Yifang asked.

"Of course, I had someone place a tracker on Eli." Fury said with a smile.

"Then why are you hesitating? Let's set off immediately." Upon hearing that, Luna strode away first.

………………

The Rockson Hydropower Station, an old power station that had fallen into disrepair and was forced to shut down due to safety hazards, was restarted today.

The Quinjet landed, and the action team members who had been waiting for a long time came over.

"Report the situation." Lu Yifang asked the team leader.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The team leader showed a respectful expression and reported, "The hydropower station has been operating continuously for an incense stick of time. After testing, the power here is abundant but extremely unstable. The turbine may explode, or it may overturn the dam, causing a flood and harming the lives downstream."

"Since we know the prospect is not optimistic, we don't need to hesitate, just go straight to Huanglong." Melinda arrived, and after she finished speaking, she skillfully loaded the arrows, feeling quite unhappy. Everyone knows that the SHIELD cavalry is not a generous person. After being calculated by this ghost, Melinda has been eager to seek revenge for a long time.

"This is a great plan." Lu nodded with a smile. He had no intention of dealing with these souls that were distorted by the Dark Codex, nor did he intend to discuss how to break in.

"Your Excellency, according to the signs of power surge and the structural drawings of the power station, in front... hissing..." As soon as Lu and his group stepped into the hydropower station, the communication spell was immediately interrupted.

"Hey, can you still hear me?" Coulson held the talisman tightly, called out several times, and finally shook his head and sighed, "It seems that we have lost contact with the outside world."

"It's okay, because I have sensed the breath of the Dark Codex, and there is hostility approaching." Luna paused slightly, her eyes flickering.

At this moment, a female ghost in white suddenly appeared in the depths of the corridor and said in a deep voice, "You have made a mistake. You should not set foot in this place."

"Since you are here, I will deal with it. What can you do to me?" After Melinda finished speaking, she took a step forward, pulled the trigger, and arrows rained down on the female ghost. When the arrows were used up, the female ghost's figure only flashed slightly, without showing any damage at all.

“In that case, I will send you into reincarnation.” After the female ghost finished speaking, many ghost shadows surged out from behind the walls around everyone.

Melinda took the brunt of the attack, but Coulson was prepared and stood in front of Melinda, "Ghosts are illusory, and the art of dispersing them is my specialty."

Coulson threw a punch, and the ghost who had tried to ignore his attack wailed and disappeared in an instant.

"Crack!" A flash of lightning appeared, followed by the wailing of ghosts.

When the thunder meets the ghost, the suppressive force doubles, and when the two touch, it is no different from Coulson's right palm.

"Ah--!" A shrill scream rang out, and the window at the end of the corridor shattered. Coulson and Melinda both covered their ears and cried out in pain.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, splitting the strange female ghost into pieces. Lu Yi's face darkened, "This is quite unusual. The number of ghosts here is far beyond our expectations. Moreover, even if the researcher turned into a ghost, he should not be able to grow horns and spread wings, and flap his wings on the wall to emit ultrasound."

"Hell's Screaming Demon, this matter must be very complicated." Luna also frowned and said.

Although it was unexpected, ghosts alone could not stop Lu and his group. After a short while, all the ghosts were eliminated.

At the end of the corridor, the female ghost researcher seemed anxious, "My Lord, your mission is about to be accomplished. No one is allowed to disturb you."

"Oh? I'm afraid things are not going as I wish. I have been looking for it for a long time." As soon as she finished speaking, the fire of a hot skull flashed. The female ghost turned around and saw a flaming skeleton man standing in front of her.

……

"Accept your punishment, sinner." The fire skeleton man captured the female ghost and said in a hoarse voice.

The female ghost looked into the eyes of the Ghost Rider, inexplicable flames rose up, and she turned into ashes amid screams.

"Ghost Rider, why are you here?" Coulson looked at the fire skeleton man with a surprised look on his face.

"You are all filled with the aura of sin." Ghost Rider turned around upon hearing the voice, and everyone was under his scrutiny. "You are guilty!"

"This person seems to be strange." Lu Yi frowned when he heard this, and turned to look at Coulson, "Colson, why don't you go and give him a hand."

"Me?" Coulson was stunned, then he remembered that he was no longer the same as he was in the past in the West, where he didn't have to be frightened when he saw the Ghost Rider from afar. So, Coulson, who understood everything, strode towards the Ghost Rider.

“Correcting other people’s ideas is my strength.”

Ghost Rider ignored him and stared at Coulson. His standards of good and evil were very different from those of ordinary people. In his eyes, Coulson was not innocent either. The flames on Ghost Rider's body became stronger, the bald logo became brighter, and the hellfire in his eyes condensed into pupils of judgment.

"Sinner, stand trial... Ouch!" An ordinary punch hit the Ghost Rider in the face. The flames on his body were extinguished instantly as if by a prehistoric fire. The Ghost Rider was also forced to turn back into Johnny and fell to the ground, covering his face and groaning.

"Hey, how are you, Johnny?" Lu Yi squatted in front of Johnny and said.

"Lu Yi, it's been a while since we last met." After Coulson corrected him with a punch, Johnny finally recognized Lu Yi, covered his face with his hands, stood up and greeted him.

"Shouldn't you be at Master Strange's place? Why are you here?" Lu Yi asked curiously.

"This matter originated from the last battle in New York. When the Cosmic Cube opened the wormhole, it also tore open the seal of the three major temples on the earth, and the Hell Army took advantage of the opportunity to enter. Although the Supreme Sorcerer blocked their main force, the leader, Morrock, led the remnants to escape. Therefore, I have been tracking Rock's whereabouts."

"Rock, remember this man, one of Mephisto's strongest clones." Luna's eyes flashed with insight, and the Dark Codex was obviously brought to him.

"So that's the case? But judging from your condition, it's not the best. Didn't you get what you needed from Strange?" Lu Yi asked.
