Chapter 296: Seeking

2011 4 Month 22 Day.

After the fun, 3 days after the disappearance.

"How's Captain America doing now?"

Ling Zhan asked the "good guy" in front of him.

"His bodily functions are fully recovering," the other person replied. "But I still have to say, it's hard to believe that after all these years, his appearance hasn't changed at all."

Thinking of Captain America, Coulson couldn't help but sigh that this legendary figure seemed to be frozen in time. Not only did he still look young, but his physical condition was also still at its peak.

Could this be the result of the much-sought-after Super Soldier Serum?

"Don't think too much about it. It's probably due to the low temperature environment."

Ling Zhan didn't understand those so-called technical terms, as long as Coulson understood them.

"Our SHIELD medical team has reached a similar conclusion. With the commander here and the captain's value, those people can't easily touch him at this point."

"When Captain America wakes up, those who covet the Super Soldier Serum will be even more helpless against him."

Ling Zhan pondered this and then got to the point: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Nick Fury has his own arrangements with the captain. This time, I asked you to come here because of a missing person case at New York University."

After hearing this, Coulson recalled for a moment and said, "I have some impression of the incident you mentioned. What happened?"

His tone seemed a little nonchalant, because missing persons cases are so common in the United States, just like shootings, they happen almost every day.

Ling Zhan had obviously anticipated Coulson's reaction. He smiled and continued, "I know what you're thinking. Disappearances are incredibly common in the United States, just like shootings. But I think there's something a little off about this case."

Ling Zhan took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "I've learned about those missing people. They look like people from society, but they are ambitious but not like those who are involved in society. Otherwise, the school would not have given up on them. Their parents are the same. One of the people they were hanging out with is now home sick."

"That's it? Are you overthinking it?"

Coulson didn't understand what Ling Zhan meant.

Ling Zhan shook his head helplessly. He knew that Coulson might not understand his concerns, but his intuition told him that this matter was definitely not that simple.

If someone said that Ling Zhan had paranoia, Coulson would really agree with that person.

After all, Ling Zhan would really think of the worst when something happened, and his previous actions were always fully armed and covered tightly.

"I wish I was just overthinking it," Ling Zhan sighed and continued to explain, "but my intuition tells me that something's amiss. The girl they were hanging out with is from a New York University teacher. Not long ago, she took a long sick leave for her daughter. And those missing people went to the girl's house three days ago and haven't been heard from since. The police haven't found any useful clues there, which is really strange. Even if there's no suspect in that place, there shouldn't be no clues at all. After all, it's an indisputable fact that they went to the girl's house."

Ling Zhan said and took another sip of tea.

Well, I’m still used to tea. Foreigners like to drink wine, so forget it.

Even when he was on that Earth, he was still an otaku who liked to drink milk tea and happy water, but he gave it up in the Marvel world.

Coulson understood that he needed his help in the investigation.

Coulson suddenly had an idea and thought of a question: "No, can't you just sneak in and investigate by yourselves?"

Blind spot, you found Watson.

"This is not an important issue. I will go with you then."

Ling Zhan coughed a few times to hide the embarrassment of his intention being discovered.

Ling Zhan ignored Coulson's questions and left his seat to do his own thing.

Coulson's words were not harsh, but if he could take advantage of the official convenience, why not?

At this moment, Coulson only felt a crow flying over his almost bald head.

Forget it, not to mention Captain America’s favor, I also owe Ling Zhan a favor for the previous investigation incident.

There was no trace of what Nick asked him to investigate.

At that moment, he immediately knew that this involved the realm of fantasy, and guessed that it was related to Ling Zhan and the others.

Later, when I learned about the incident from Ling Zhan, I couldn't help but marvel at it.

Going to another dimension is a bit enviable...

Coulson wasn't used to drinking tea, but surprisingly, it had a sweet aftertaste.

……

The blonde had a headache these past few days.

My daughter has started to rebel again. She has clearly killed those bad girls, so why is she still like this?

If this wasn't his daughter, she would have suffered the same fate as those people.

The blonde quickly dismissed those thoughts because she was hungry.

After eating the souls of those people, she thought she could fill her stomach for several days, but unfortunately, it was only three days.

She had to go foraging, and although she was somewhat reluctant, the taste of souls was incredibly delicious to the blonde woman. It was like taking a drug; once you'd tasted it, you couldn't stop.

Some time ago, I saw two nice girls who were suitable to be her food.

Well... by the way, in that case, we might as well store them for emergency use, just like storing food.

In this way, even when there is no fresh "food", you will not go hungry.

A gleam flashed in the blonde's eyes, and in an instant, she was no longer in the room.

After a while, Kellya came out from upstairs and found that her mother was not at home. She planned to take this opportunity to find a way out.

Also, contact the police.

……

"Hora, where are you running this time!"

Near New York University, a knight looked at the woman in front of him and shouted.

In a large area, there are not only titled knights, but also knights dressed in "steel". Although the titled knights are stronger, they mainly serve as a defense line.

Normally, the "Steel" Knight still needs help. Once he is too busy, he will lose energy and transformation time, and it will be troublesome if the difficult Hora appears.

"What bad luck! I actually ran into you, the Knights of the Ring!"

The woman made a sound of "Pooh".

She was the blonde woman who came out to look for food. Fortunately, the knight she met was not just a title, so she still had a good chance of survival.

"It's your misfortune to meet me, Kandal, Hora!"

The knight named Kandal rushed towards the blonde woman with his soul steel hammer.

The blonde woman waved her hand, and a large trash can nearby was controlled to fly towards Kandal.

Seeing this, Kandal jumped up nimbly, swung the soul steel blade hammer in the air, and smashed it hard at the flying trash can.

There was a loud "bang" and the trash can was smashed and deformed, falling heavily to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Seeing that her attack failed, the blonde woman came closer, and her long legs in the short skirt were raised high without restraint, and then she kicked down.

The blonde woman was of a certain age, and her long legs looked surprisingly slender and fair.

The kick was powerful, and Kondar would not underestimate Hora in his human form.

Kandal half-knelt, crossed his arms and took the long leg, then he stood up and pushed forward, knocking the blonde woman to the ground.

Finally, Kandal, holding the Soul Steel Hammer, strode towards the fallen blonde like an angry lion. He raised the hammer high and smashed it hard with all his strength.
