Chapter 3402

Walking into the reception room upstairs, Miles talked about his discovery: "I caught the guy who was stealing shots and found that he did indeed take a lot of key pictures, such as the monster struggling painfully on the ground after turning back into a human. If you say he wasn't intentional, I don't believe it."

"I interrogated him a few times, and he seemed very guilty. Then, he told me that someone approached him and asked him to participate in this protest. As long as he could take pictures of the conflict, especially the conflict between Black and White people, they were willing to buy them at a high price."

"I asked him who instructed him, and he said a name, but I think it might be some intermediary. These street thugs take such dirty work, all subcontracted layer by layer, it's hard to find the source."

"But there is another clue, that is, he could find a place to park, and the police didn't bother him. This shows that the person who hired him also has some power within the police station."

"Parking?" Stark, who walked in, said with some doubt, "What does this have to do with parking? As long as there is a parking space, can't you park?"

Miles tilted his head and said: "That's you; the whole New York is yours, you can park wherever you want. No police officer dares to stop you. But others, especially Black thugs like him, having a car is already very strange, and wanting to park within 200 meters of a police car is simply a dream."

Stark was a bit embarrassed and said: "I don't discriminate against Black people. My good friend War Machine is Black. I just..."

"I know, you just don't understand." Miles said, "You don't really need to understand either. After all, you weren't the one who brought us to the Americas."

Stark was even more embarrassed.

"Jarvis, retrieve the internal information of the police station and see if there is any abnormal police activity in the Bronx recently." Stark said.

"Alright, sir, querying... Found it." Stark pressed his arm, and a small holographic screen projection drone flew out. Information about two police officers appeared on the screen. Tracking their life trajectories showed that their economic conditions were very poor, but they had recently made a fortune.

"It seems someone bribed them." Stark touched his chin and looked at Moon Knight and said, "What do you think?"

Moon Knight stepped forward, the area under the hood was still empty, but it inexplicably made people feel that his eyes were focused on the avatar on the screen.

"This woman is the person we are looking for." Moon Knight said.

"Why?" Stark said with some doubt, "Both of them are suspicious. This man even took two days off; his suspicion should be greater, right?"

"I can divine."

Stark was speechless.

"Jarvis, do you feel any magical fluctuations?" Stark asked.

"No, sir. Even if there are, it shouldn't be divination." Jarvis said.

"Then what is it? Mind reading?"

"It might be psychoanalysis." Jarvis said, "In Dr. Schiller's skill library, I found this skill, which belongs to the personality trait of arrogance."

"Uh, what?" Stark asked.

"Mind reading that doesn't require magic." Jarvis explained.

"Got it." Stark nodded and said, "Then what impact will the personality of arrogance have?"

"I'm not sure about this." Jarvis said, "I have no special contact with this personality, the collected information samples are not enough, more information comes from Wanda, but she can't explain it clearly either."

"Alright, then let's check this person." Stark said, "I will send someone to contact this policewoman."

"Johnny," Miles said again, "are you sure you came here because you felt a sinful soul? No other guidance?"

Johnny frowned and then said: "If I have to say, I feel that the Spirit of Vengeance on me has been very active recently. Otherwise, I wouldn't have worked overtime for a day, performed stunt motorcycles for two hours after work, and delivered takeout for two hours before coming here to be Ghost Rider."

"God, no wonder your face looks so bad." Stark exclaimed, "Are you very short of money?"

Johnny glanced at him, as if saying: "You rich guy, don't come to discuss money with me."

"He's not short of money; he just loves working for that devil!" Danny said, glaring at Johnny, but Johnny ignored him.

Stark was looking at Johnny's information, and then he realized that Johnny and Danny were brothers. His gaze swept back and forth between the two, and he soon said: "Your relationship is very bad?"

"The priority now is not to study this." Danny said anxiously, "I guarantee that Mephisto is a hundred times more dangerous than I said. Even if today's monster has nothing to do with him, Johnny appearing here is definitely not an accident. This means Mephisto is about to do something; we have to keep an eye on him."

"What do you plan to do?" Miles was not impatient; he just asked, "You kept an eye on him today too, but did you achieve anything?"

Danny said irritably: "I told S. H. I. E. L. D. and also looked for the Sorcerer Supreme. But they didn't seem to take it seriously. Only one psychologist believed me, but he is just an ordinary person and can't help much."

Stark said in his heart: "With the IQ that you can treat Schiller as an ordinary person, S. H. I. E. L. D. and the Sorcerer Supreme are right not to take you seriously."

"Alright, we can help you." Stark glanced at Moon Knight and then said, "If you want to deal with Mephisto, what do you plan to do?"

"We should control Johnny first." Danny said, "He has been working for Mephisto."

"Why do I feel that you are not targeting Mephisto, but Johnny?" Miles frowned and said, "If your goal is just an agent of some demon, you shouldn't act like you're going to war with hell tomorrow. That way, maybe S. H. I. E. L. D. and the Sorcerer Supreme would choose to help you."

Danny was obviously choked. But just at this moment, Moon Knight waved his staff abruptly, the power brewing in the center of the crescent moon erupted instantly, and Danny was hit and flew backward.

Stark and Miles were stunned, but then Stark discovered that something flew out of Danny's body.

A void shadow let out a scream; the others were unprepared and felt their brains hit by something.

Moon Knight waved his staff again, and a moonlight covered the phantom. The phantom fled in panic; Moon Knight appeared from the moonlight again, and the staff poked the ground hard.

Hum—

Invisible power fluctuations rippled, and the moonlight hanging above the fountain became brighter and brighter. Through the moonlight, Stark saw that the hazy phantom was a floating ghost.

Stark instinctively took a step back.

"Don't be afraid, sir, that's not a ghost." Jarvis said, "It's some kind of energy creature, it should be a mutation of brain waves after a person dies."

"Isn't that a ghost?!"

"This is a rigorous scientific explanation."

Moon Knight stretched out his staff, and the moonlight turned into countless slender tentacles, firmly binding the ghost and pulling it down.

"Who are you?" Moon Knight asked.

"Let me go! You damn demon!" The ghost struggled constantly. After being pulled closer, Stark saw that it seemed to be a woman, a bit old, and her dress should be a modern person.

Stark walked over to check on the unconscious Danny, Jarvis scanned it, and found no problems. Stark patted him and woke him up.

After Danny woke up, he was a bit dazed. When he saw the figure floating in mid-air, he struggled to climb up and then said: "Mom, are you alright? You guys let her go, she's my mom!"

"Ms. Francis." Moon Knight called out the name.

The woman turned to look at him, but there was a void under the hood, as if only light was supporting the cloak.

"How do you know my name?"

"He can divine." Miles answered preemptively. Stark secretly glared at him, because he also wanted to answer preemptively just now.

"Alright, but that's not a reason for you to treat a lady so rudely. Now, let me go."

Moon Knight withdrew his staff but didn't untie the restraint. He stood silently in place looking at Ms. Francis, and only after a long while did he say: "Without my permission, no one can break into the realm of moonlight."

"You guys always love to say such big words..."

Before Ms. Francis finished speaking, Moon Knight knocked on the ground with his staff again.

The next second, the moonlight outside the window dimmed suddenly, and everyone looked out, and the moon above New York City disappeared.

In a trance, the moonlight returned to normal. Jarvis said in Stark's headset: "The moon in New York did indeed disappear for a few seconds just now, but the celestial moon didn't disappear; he should have blocked the reflection of the moon, causing the moon to be temporarily unobservable."

Miles was also shocked by this hand. Danny hurried to say to Ms. Francis: "Mom, don't be like this, Moon Knight is very strong, he is the spokesperson of the Moon God. The Goddess said he is reliable..."

"Goddess?" Stark stared at him and asked, "Which goddess?"

Danny stopped talking. Ms. Francis said: "I came here just to remind you not to trust Mephisto and his messengers. They are plotting a conspiracy to subvert hell."

"What does this have to do with you?" Miles asked very directly.

"If Mephisto controls hell, it will be a disaster for Earth!" Ms. Francis raised her voice and said.

"You mean, he can directly break Earth's magic defense network under the obstruction of the Ancient One, ignore the interference of Asgard, the Time Variance Authority, and Battleworld, easily destroy all mages in Kamar-Taj and the Avengers, and doesn't care about the views of the universe administrator Eternity, and completely destroy Earth?"

After Stark finished speaking, Jarvis said: "Dr. Schiller once told me that your EQ is low. I don't agree with his view, but I still think that one should leave some room when speaking, so as not to make the other party too embarrassed, and thus become angry from embarrassment."

Ms. Francis was obviously stuck. Danny said anxiously: "Even if he can't completely destroy Earth, he will definitely cause a disaster, at least many innocent people will die. Just like this time, we must stop him!"

"The problem is back to the starting point," Miles looked at Danny and said, "How do you plan to stop him? Even if we control Johnny, it won't harm Mephisto at all, right?"

"I think we should form a team first." Danny said, "Specially used to deal with Mephisto, and can also handle magic-related things."

"Handling magic-related things has the New York Sanctum, and the Sorcerer Supreme is also in New York." Miles said, "Do you think you are stronger than the Sorcerer Supreme?"

"He can't take care of everything." Danny said, "He has no way to keep an eye on every corner of New York, and we can solve those problems he didn't notice."

Miles nodded and said: "Alright, this can be considered a reason. The Sorcerer Supreme is indeed very busy; I'm afraid he doesn't want to manage this matter."

"Then let's form a team." Stark pointed at the people in a circle and said, "Just us few."

"No!" Danny said, "These people won't work; you guys don't know how to use magic at all, and you can't deal with Mephisto with guns and cannons."

"Then did I defeat the monster with guns and cannons?" Stark said impatiently, "Kid, I must remind you, this is not you forming a team, and you won't be the captain. If you want to join, stay; if you don't want to, get out. Understand?"

"You... you guys can't be like this! Shouldn't superheroes unite and cooperate?"

"It seems like you are the one who doesn't intend to unite and cooperate." Miles reminded, "We are not the candidates in your ideal, but I can tell you very definitely that even if you can find the candidates in your ideal, you will never be able to get the leadership of the team in their hands. Are you counting on the Sorcerer Supreme to listen to you?"

"He wants to pull Shi Difen into the team?" Stark was shocked again; he looked Danny up and down and said, "I sincerely ask, you and Shi Difen are in the same team, what is your role?"

"Alright." Moon Knight finally spoke, he waved his staff, and then said, "Arguing is meaningless, leave here."

Accompanied by the moonlight, everyone except Moon Knight appeared in the alley. They also knew that they couldn't talk anymore today and could only disband.

In the reception room, Schiller took off his hood, threw the long staff aside, yawned, and said: "Being a superhero isn't hard."

He turned his head and saw Khonshu paralyzed in the corner, the flames in the eye sockets of the terrifying falcon head were almost unable to jump, and his roar echoed in the palace.

"Of course it's not hard for you... because all the work was done by me!!!"
