"Equipment, instrument?"
Johnny subconsciously wanted to refuse, and it wasn't because of a stereotype.
The U.S. government had done many questionable things over the years, such as injecting HIV into the black community and conducting human experiments.
These were all things the government had personally admitted. Why do people hate and reject the government so much, and why are many government personnel so repulsed and distrustful?
The main reason is that this government has done too many bad things.
Johnny also didn't want to be taken away and then be used for human experiments. After all, in his eyes, this possibility was still very high. Fortunately, Natasha Romanoff was very smart and immediately caught on to Johnny's hesitation. She immediately explained: "The Avengers is an organization independent of other institutions."
"We are directly supported by the Security Council with funds and personnel. No one, including the President's Office, can give us orders." "We have a high degree of freedom, Mr. Johnny, maybe you can try to believe us." Natasha Romanoff spoke very directly, but at this time, the more direct and sincere you are, the easier it is for people to believe. Sure enough, Johnny listened to Natasha Romanoff's words, coupled with her sincere expression, and glanced at everyone.
He also wanted to solve the nightmare in his heart as soon as possible. So Johnny stopped objecting and nodded. "Okay." "That's a wise choice, Mr. Blaze," Natasha Romanoff smiled lightly, looked at everyone, and took Johnny to the airport. They intended to take the Quinjet back to New York.
The plane took off and flew into the sky, disappearing into the clouds. However, on one side of the airport, a figure in a purple suit just watched the plane disappear silently, revealing an evil smile. "Father, it seems it's time to give you a surprise."
When he thought of the figure who had tried to kill him, he showed a hateful expression, but it didn't matter. He also wanted to kill his so-called father anyway. In the sky, the Quinjet was driven by Barton. It carried Natasha Romanoff and the other Avengers, Johnny Blaze, and his beloved Harley-Davidson motorcycle to the New York suburban base.
At the moment, the sky had become dark and it was almost night. As night fell, Johnny sat in the chair in the rest cabin with a blank look in his eyes. He was in a daze. An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness was spreading in his heart. Where did that uneasiness come from? Suddenly, Natasha Romanoff and Johnny raised their heads at the same time.
Natasha Romanoff wanted to shout, but the Quinjet vibrated. The crazy vibration and the explosion made everyone realize that something was wrong. Natasha Romanoff was sitting next to Johnny, and immediately reached out to grab him. She wanted to stabilize Johnny's body and control him at the same time, because she didn't know whether Johnny was related to the plane's loss of control.
But Johnny suddenly broke free from Natasha Romanoff's hand. In Natasha Romanoff's shocked eyes, Johnny covered his head with a painful expression. With a painful cry, his flesh and blood gradually faded. A flame was printed from his eyes. Crazy alarms rang in the Quinjet.
"Everyone, prepare for an emergency landing, all the engines of the plane are out of control," Barton shouted loudly. But no one heard Barton's words, because everyone saw that the entire Quinjet was making a harsh squeezing sound, as if something was squeezing the plane crazily and was going to crush all the people inside. Bang! Bang! Bang!
The strong squeeze shattered all the special glass in the fuselage, and the crazy airflow swept along with the fragments. At this critical moment, Natasha Romanoff immediately shouted decisively: "Abandon the plane immediately." After shouting, Natasha Romanoff grabbed Johnny, ran to the hatch, and hammered the switch button beside it. The hatch opened, and she jumped down with Johnny.
Psylocke, Bruce Banner, and Ava Barton followed closely behind. Everyone had put on special landing gear. Everyone fell all the way to the ground under the night sky. When they were about to fall to the ground, a backpack-like device on their backs suddenly tore apart. A stream of air sprayed out from the device, directly slowing down the falling bodies of everyone.
Then they fell to the ground at a speed that everyone could accept. During the fall, everyone still looked up at the sky. Under the moonlight, they could vaguely see a huge and terrifying demon claw on the Quinjet transport plane, squeezing hard. Obviously, this thing was the cause of the destruction of the Quinjet. Natasha Romanoff frowned.
After a while, with the help of the air jet device, everyone landed safely on the ground. It was a very open plain with weeds and a path everywhere. Boom! The Quinjet finally couldn't bear the huge squeezing force and exploded suddenly in the air. A huge ball of fire dyed the dark night sky. In the eyes of everyone, the broken parts wrapped in fire fell obliquely to the ground in the distance like meteors, making a roar and explosions.
"Just now, what was that?" After falling to the ground, Barton took out the stick-shaped compound bow from behind, and with a little force, he saw a change, showing the shape of a bow. "I'm not sure, but someone must be doing it. We have to be careful." Psylocke pulled out her katana, and a purple halo appeared.
Bruce Banner said nothing, but his pupils had completely turned green. A surging and terrifying aura was gradually spreading from his body. The Hulk could appear at any time and anywhere. Ah! Barton and the others were still in the realm, and Johnny's painful wailing came from there. Natasha Romanoff squatted slightly and put a hand on Johnny.
Johnny knelt on the ground at the moment, holding his head with both hands and twitching and wailing. It seemed to be painful. Natasha Romanoff looked at Johnny. She knew that this state of this person was obviously closely related to the transformation into the Skeleton Knight. "Mr. Johnny..."
When Natasha Romanoff was considering whether to knock Johnny out directly, suddenly, a slightly magnetic voice came to her ear. "If I were you, I would stay away from that guy, ma'am." Everyone was shocked and immediately looked in the direction of the sound. Under the moonlight, they saw a figure in a purple suit standing on the road not far away. He seemed to be holding a half-dead, white-haired old man in denim clothes in his hand.
"Who are you?" Barton bent his bow and pointed an arrow at the man and asked coldly. "You can call me Blackheart, the future ruler of hell." A terrifying demon face flashed across the man's pale face, just for a moment, but it looked quite terrifying in such an environment. He was Blackheart.
Since the last mission assigned by his father, which resulted in Leon's rage, he also narrowly escaped death. After he escaped, he was very tactful and did not run back to hell. With his serious injury, he might face the murderous intention of his cunning and cruel father when he returned to hell. Unexpectedly, not long after, he heard that his father Mephisto's dimension of hell was invaded by a powerful enemy and was beaten up and almost died.
If it weren't for the other demon lords in hell who joined forces to put pressure on him, Mephisto might have been killed on the spot. This scared Blackheart so much that he dared not show up. But as the son of a demon, a natural conspirator, his ambition and cunning did not allow him to hide and keep silent. He wanted to return. He wanted to become stronger. He wanted to realize his ambition, which was to become the king of hell who surpassed his father Mephisto.
So he was waiting, or he had been quietly looking for something. As a devil that Mephisto feared, Blackheart knew a lot of things and was very smart. He could hide himself in the most perfect form and come to the Earth to quietly and low-key find his goal. He finally found that thing. He finally waited for the person he had been waiting for. He finally opened the key to his destiny.
His conspiracy could now begin. So Blackheart was in a good mood. He was like an elegant British gentleman and politely said to everyone: "So, can you hand over the gentleman named Johnny to me?" "The person who attacked us just now is you?" Psylocke said in a deep voice at this time.
Blackheart shrugged. "I was just saying hello to you. As Avengers, you shouldn't have no means of escape. Well, some of you seem to be more advanced than I thought, and there are definitely weaker ones." The weak ones were obviously Barton and Ava. Natasha Romanoff didn't need to be said much.
Bruce Banner was originally just a doctor. He looked weak and elegant on the outside, but the Hulk could appear at any time. The fierce aura on his body also made Blackheart know that this person was not simple, and very dangerous. As for Psylocke, as a psychic who was not weak, she barely got the approval of Blackheart. "Okay, we've talked too much. Now, hand Mr. Johnny over to me." "You're dreaming."
Psylocke didn't care what Blackheart had planned, but she knew one thing: she must not let him achieve what he wanted. Whoosh! Barton took the lead in launching the attack, releasing the bowstring, and the arrow shot through the night sky toward Blackheart. The red light on the special arrow was a dangerous model.
Blackheart had been lurking on Earth for a long time. Although the Avengers had not investigated it carefully, they had heard of it. Being able to join an organization like the Avengers, Barton looked like a human, but he had his own unique side. Blackheart was cruel and proud, but also cautious. Although his personality was very contradictory, he was a complex of contradictions.
So his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot. The moment the arrow passed over his dim figure, it burst into dazzling lightning. The raging lightning formed a lightning triangle field on the ground and in the air, and a special magnetic field was formed. If Blackheart did not choose to dodge, he would inevitably be suppressed by the special magnetic field in this lightning triangle field.
The dodged Blackheart could not help but exclaimed "Huh" when he saw this. He was obviously a little surprised by Barton's method. Ava's figure flickered and disappeared. Psylocke's figure bent and ran close to the ground. Only a purple light could be seen passing by the ground, which showed how fast it was. As for Bruce Banner, his coat was torn apart with a roar.
His body swelled, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a huge green monster more than two meters tall, full of muscles. As for Natasha Romanoff, she did not choose to cooperate with her companions, but stayed by Johnny's side. Since Blackheart's target was Johnny, the other party might use the tactic of luring the tiger away from its mountain, so someone had to stay here. Natasha Romanoff watched the battle silently.
Hulk and Psylocke fought in close combat. Ava became an invisible assassin who could attack at any time, and Barton, as a long-range archer, used a series of special arrows to assist. Their close cooperation was simply beautiful. This was the trust and cooperation that everyone had built in mission after mission over the past two years. However, the Avengers were now facing a devil, a powerful devil.
"You seem to be pretty good too." "You are qualified to be my subordinates." Standing in the same place, Blackheart blocked everyone's attack with one hand. He even blocked Hulk's fist with explosive power. This kind of power was incredible. Even the Hulk couldn't believe it. Another person who could easily block his attack had appeared besides Big Sister Yelena.
The Hulk's anger made his power soar. He roared madly and kept attacking, so that Blackheart felt a little pressure. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Hulk's fist with one hand. Boom! Under the collision of pure physical force, the terrifying air wave exploded with the two of them as the center. The raging air wave swept in all directions. The ground under their feet was magnificent, and the dense cracks spread like a spider web. Psylocke was blown away by the air wave.
Ava, who was intangible nearby, was safe and sound in the air wave. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ava's eyes lit up and rushed to the back of Blackheart. She pulled out a long knife and was about to stab it into the back of Blackheart. However, she didn't expect that Blackheart's head would turn 360 degrees and show an evil smile to Ava.
A dazzling evil purple halo flashed in his pupils. Looking directly at this gaze, Ava was instantly dizzy. A terrifying consciousness changed her will in the blink of an eye. It made Ava feel like a different person. She was only loyal to the devil in front of her. But neither of them showed it.
