Chapter 361 The strange birth and the end of Hydra

USA, Los Angeles, Hydra underground base.

Pierce, Madam Hydra, Baron Zemo and other Hydra snakeheads stood in the middle of the central command room of the base.

Looking at the dark screen in front of him, he fell into silence.

After a long time:

Baron Zemo asked: "Pierce, the signal has been lost. We have no idea what the situation is at the Houston base now."

"Are you still sure now?"

In response to Baron Zemo's question, Pierce was silent for a moment and said lightly: "Other than that, what else can we do?"

"The technological weapons we currently have are not of much use to Lockhart."

"Only with the help of magic."

"We need to maintain a certain level of confidence in our allies."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hydra on the side intervened: "Don't worry, I have cooperated with them before, and I arranged the blood sacrifices for them."

"Besides, I heard that this time their god Dormammu wanted Lockhart by name."

"Based on the character of the fanatics, they will definitely do their best."

"Gods?" Baron Zemo said with a suspicious tone.

"Yes, it's a god." Madam Hydra said with certainty.

"The existence of this so-called God of Darkness is indispensable for scenes such as blood sacrifices. The number of living people required by these believers for each sacrifice is at least hundreds or even more."

"If I hadn't arranged it, I'm afraid they would have gone out of business long ago."

Mrs. Hydra smiled and said lightly: "Of course, I have also investigated the so-called sacrifices through certain means, and I can basically verify that the gods they talk about exist."

"And the other party is restricted and cannot really come to Earth."

Upon hearing this, everyone present's eyes lit up.

When it comes to technology, they each have their own strengths.

But in the field of magic, most of them have just dabbled in it.

But now, the opponent's god is restricted, only believers exist, and it seems that the number is not very large, and they are still being hunted, so they are at a disadvantage.

This is a great opportunity to dip your hands into the magical world.

Although the gods that the other party believes in are not gods of justice, they are not positive characters either.

If the other party needs human sacrifice, they can arrange it.

It can be said that everyone gets what he needs.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is to try to avoid contact between yourself and the other party.

The power of magic is very wonderful. If you are accidentally controlled by the other party, you will suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, Hydra is very good at concealing its true location.

If it doesn't work, pushing an agent is also their common method.

Their minds searched frantically, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.

At the same time, Pierce looked up at Madam Hydra, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Madam, how long have you been working with this person?"

"Have you met the other person?"

"I have communicated through video before, and I feel that the other party is not a peaceful person."

"Of course not." Madam Hydra smiled and shook her head: "As you know, I usually rely on a substitute to walk outside."

"Including. Now!"

Hearing this, Pierce felt a little uneasy for some reason, and asked: "Madam, have you ever had any transactions with the other party regarding items?"

"Not limited to magic or anything like that."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hydra looked unhappy. Why are you asking so carefully about this kind of thing?

How could she not understand what Pierce meant?

It's just that they are worried that someone will catch them because of their traces in this regard, which will drag them down.

Then Madam Hydra said calmly: "Pierce, you don't have to worry about it, just take care of your own affairs."

"I'm not that stupid yet. Where my body is, I won't allow any risks to exist."

Upon hearing this, Pierce remained calm and nodded to express his understanding.

He knew that the question he just asked was taboo.

But he was really worried, so he asked more.

After all, the pressure this Lockhart brought to him was too great.

Compared to other people, he can be said to be extremely offended.

Later, everyone saw that there was still no display on the screen, and no one had the desire to communicate.

Then he turned and left.

They have caution engraved in their bones, and all they walk are substitutes.

However, the stand-in also needs to rest.

Soon, Pierce walked to his lounge.

Standing at the door, looking at the spacious space inside, the tall bookshelves and the white bed, a trace of relaxation flashed in his eyes.

Then

Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!

The lights in the base began to flicker, which made Pierce's heart suddenly rise in his throat.

"Zola, what happened?"

Pierce asked directly and loudly without hesitation. He knew that Zola must always pay attention to his movements.

However, except for the flickering and hissing sound of the light bulbs on the ceiling of the base, everything remained silent.

Eerie silence!

Jean Pierce makes me shiver inside and have chills running down my spine.

He reached for his waist with his right hand, picked up a pistol, leaned against the wall, and observed the surrounding environment very vigilantly.

"Zola, are you there?" Pierce called again.

After realizing that there was still no movement, my heart sank.

"Zemo, please answer if you hear me." Pierce took out a walkie-talkie and called again.

However.

Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!

The intercom kept making a hissing sound, but nothing else, which was very weird.

"Professor Lockhart, I know you are here." Pierce thought for a while and then said tentatively: "If you have anything to say, I'm here."

However, as before, everything remained silent except for the sizzling sound of the ceiling light bulbs.

Although there was no sign of Lockhart, all of this made Pierce suddenly feel panicked.

But soon, his previous experience as an agent allowed him to quickly regain his inner peace.

Now, he does not want to continue returning to his lounge, but is preparing to return to the central command room along the original route.

Look what happened, what happened?

Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!

tread! tread! tread!

In the empty environment, the lights on the ceiling of the base kept flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and a shadow appeared on Pierce's side face from time to time.

The sound of footsteps sounded very strange in the quiet environment.

The further he walked, the more puzzled Pierce became.

How is it possible, there is no one, what do the agents I trained before do to eat?

My mind was thinking crazily, and my heart gradually became sinking.

Soon, he arrived at the central command room of the base.

Then, he tried to open the silver door of the command room, but found that the door was locked.

boom! boom! boom!

Seeing this, Pierce shot the door handle directly with his gun, trying to open it directly through violence.

However, the bullet struck the door, which remained intact.

Just bullets fell to the ground one after another, as if they were greatly hindered.

Immediately afterwards

The silver-white door began to tremble as if a life had been angered.

Pierce took a step back, staring closely at the door, and then saw the silver-white door extending out of thin air, one after another, with silver hands.

Catch it to yourself.

boom! boom! boom!

Seeing such a strange scene, Pierce shot directly without hesitation.

However, the bullets were found to be of no use.

After discovering this, he immediately wanted to run to the left passage to avoid the attack of the strange silver-white hands.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As he was escaping through the base passage, Pierce felt that the entire base began to shake and tremble.

Immediately afterwards, hands stretching one after another appeared on the wall and floor behind him, trying to hold onto Pierce tightly.

At the same time, an ethereal but very strange voice came from Pierce's ear.

"Pierce, I'm going to catch you this time!"

"Pierce, I'm going to catch you this time!"

"."

A horrifying scene in his eyes and a strange sound in his ears.

The fear that had been accumulated in Pierce's heart for a long time seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and all of it was lured out at once.

He was dodging forward like crazy while shooting everywhere with his gun.

However, for some reason, he seemed to have forgotten that he was just a stand-in.

He was just hiding and hiding.

The inner uneasiness and fear continue to increase.

"Lockhart, I know it's you. Come out."

"Come out if you dare."

"."

As he ran, Pierce cursed.

Despite this, he found that the pursuit behind him seemed to be more intense, and he could feel the ice in his hands that penetrated his bones.

The inner uneasiness and panic also increased sharply, and the whole person's sanity began to decline.

The memories in my mind seemed to be disappearing, and there was only constant fear and panic in my heart.

The loss of memory, the decline of sanity, and the rising fear in his heart make Pierce seem to be going crazy.

However, the obsession in his heart still didn't seem to dissipate, and he could only hear Pierce murmuring to himself as he stumbled forward, his eyes dull.

"New order! Hydra! New order! Hydra"

At the same time, under the influence of a strange force.

Pierce's body began to slowly become transparent, like a ghost, then passed through the wall, kept moving forward, and kept walking towards a certain direction.

It seems like he is looking for someone, or chasing someone.

At this moment, Lockhart was standing in the central control room.

In front of him, six gray-white crystal balls floated, and the pictures of the crystal balls were constantly changing.

If you look carefully, you will find that the crystal ball in the middle is Pierce's field of vision.

Pierce's transparent body was seen passing through the base like a ghost, passing through the trees, floating in the air, and kept moving forward with a dull expression.

The other crystal balls are all the heads of Hydra.

There was Lady Hydra, there was Baron Zemo, and there were others.

They always have one thing in common: their bodies are transparent, like ghosts, muttering to themselves, and constantly heading in a certain direction.

If you keep observing, you will find that the direction they are heading is exactly where their respective bodies are.

They are seeking life from their own bodies.

"Lockhart, isn't this method a bit excessive?" Snape stood aside and couldn't help but said.

He just saw the scene of Lockhart concocting Pierce and other smugglers.

A series of extremely evil magics such as erasing memories, inducing fear, confusing the mind, cursing the body, twisting the soul, etc.

And the final result is just like before your eyes.

Those substitutes have become a strange existence similar to dark energy, basically immune to most objects, and their souls have been distorted.

Constantly moving toward beings similar to them, and merging with them.

In other words, they are constantly devouring their original bodies and other substitutes.

"Aren't they the substitutes of Hydra's snakehead? I'm letting them go home."

Faced with the problems within the chamber, Lockhart mocked: "They should be thanking me!"

He's not that good-tempered.

The other party came to trouble him again and again.

He even contacted Dormammu's followers just now to set up a trap in an attempt to encircle him.

If he allowed the other party to act again, he would be really stupid.

As for the methods, they are a bit cruel.

so what?

Lockhart has a strong inner mind, and he generally knows what kind of magic can be used by what kind of people.

When dealing with an organization like Hydra, there is no need to talk about martial ethics.

Not talking about martial ethics with the other party is only fair to others.

Snape stopped talking after hearing this.

He simply tried to dissuade him. He was worried about Lockhart being addicted to dark magic.

This stuff is addictive and he suffered from it when he was young.

However, it seems Lockhart shouldn't have too many problems.

"This time, these Hydras should basically be unable to escape, and the students' actual combat tasks should also be changed."

"Snape, what do you think?"

Lockhart roughly estimated that Hydra was basically done, and began to think about the training of students.

To be honest, Hydra is really not in Lockhart's eyes.

If it weren't for the existence of Dormammu's followers, the original Hydra would have been just a practical tool left by Lockhart to his students.

However, now the tool should be replaced with a higher-grade one.

"The students have a general understanding of technological weapons. What they need more now is practical combat in magic."

Snape thought for a while and said, "You see, didn't you say that you are very familiar with the magician of Kama Taj? Can you invite some of their magician apprentices and let us practice in actual combat?"

To be honest, he was quite curious about Kama Taj.

I didn’t know much about it during my last trip to the secret realm.

It would be great if one could understand the opponent's magic system from the opponent's mage apprentice.

"In this way." Lockhart was a little hesitant about Snape's suggestion, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact you here to see if I can find some people to come over."

In the end, the two discussed a few words and ended the topic.

Lockhart took a look at the environment of the base, thought for a moment, stretched out his wand, and tapped it gently in the air.

Immediately afterwards

boom! boom!

Accompanied by two bangs, two figures paralyzed on the ground appeared, struggling like caterpillars, but to no avail, and not even a sound was transmitted.

They all had red runes engraved on their foreheads, and red flame-colored sealing halos appeared on their hands, upper bodies, waists, legs and other key locations.

They are the followers of Dormammu who were captured by Lockhart.

As for the remaining one, Lockhart felt that he had already captured two, and the opponent's value should not be great, so he just shattered the space and sent the opponent to see Dormammu.

"Boy, do you have anything else you want to say?" Lockhart stretched out his wand and tapped the two's mouths to cancel the original silencing spell.

"Lockhart, the great dark god has been watching you. After the god comes, you can't escape, Lockhart."

"Darkness will surely come, and we will all be reborn."
