Chapter 29: One thought of night, one thought of day

Nick Fury and Coulson are still at a loss, and Mage Gu Yi can't find any clues. No one would think that the person behind the incident would be the shop owner of a shop in Hell's Kitchen. On the surface, the store seems to be unremarkable.

When night fell, the lights in the store were on, and Peter Parker was dragging the ground.

Mindy, who came to the store not long ago, was fiddling with cat food.

Let two street superheroes be his employees.

It is estimated that Louis can do it.

Mindy, who had soaked the cat food for the black cat, looked around, but found no trace of the black cat, and said to Louis in confusion, "Boss, your cat seems to have disappeared."

Louis, who was calculating today's revenue, calmly replied, "It went outside and hunted."

Out hunting?What to hunt?bird?mouse?

Mindy muttered: "I don't eat good cat food, but go out to catch mice."

Did the black cat go outside to catch mice?

The "hunting" in Louis's mouth...

But that's not what it means.

It was already dark at this time. On a street not far from the store, next to the dimly lit street, a black cat that was not very big was walking along the street with its eyes very calm. The eyes without pupils looked very Weird.

Since Hell's Kitchen is a famous slum in New York, it means that people here have little money.

The various infrastructure of the street also looks very rudimentary.

Even most of those street lights on both sides of the street are broken.

Several street lamps were flickering constantly and seemed to be short-circuited.

But this has been going on for weeks...

No one came to fix it.

The night in Hell's Kitchen is very quiet, but in this quiet state, there is a hidden murderous intention. In this area of ​​Hell's Kitchen, no less than five or six people die every day.

Sometimes, in the middle of the night...

Gunshots are often heard.

and the sound of fighting.

The black cat Buster seems to be enjoying it very much. In this very quiet moment, it looked up at a bright moon in the sky. The eyes without pupils could not see the slightest emotional fluctuations, and the voice called very lightly: "Meow~"

The black cat is very different from the past, and its face seems to have something extra.

If it is a metaphysical way to call this change.

Then the black cat has something more like a nerve.

It seems to have become slightly noble, holy, and overlooks all living beings.

It seems to be between Bast, goddess of cats...

There is a closer connection.

It is the incarnation of the goddess Bastet...

It seems to be more divine.

It wears a collar around its neck, and at the bottom of the collar hangs a small bell.

It's just a small step...

The bell will ring.

The sound is crisp.

melodious.

The Hell's Kitchen at night was not so peaceful either. Several drunken gang members were walking side by side, telling vulgar jokes while passing the black cat.

The black cat didn't look back at the gang members who smelled of alcohol, even if the other party seemed to have a bad attitude because of him.

It was still walking aimlessly, and the small golden bell on its neck was still ringing softly.

"Damn it! Why did I meet a black cat at night? If I lose money tomorrow, it must be because of the black cat! Bad luck!"

The few gang members who met the black cat were disgusted and unlucky, and even their mouths were full of alcohol, and they cursed in a low voice.

Black cats are not a good symbol in this country.

Or in the whole of the West, black cats.

Neither is a good sign.

In these western countries, black cats have played an important role in folklore, superstition, and myths for centuries. Of course, this role is not a good role. Generally speaking, black cats are the pets of evil witches. .

In these countries of the West, it seems to most people that if they saw a black cat in the middle of the night, they met a mirror, and they walked under a ladder.

If you combine these three things, then you will become very unlucky.

Is there any basis for such superstition?No, it's just an unfounded legend.

But it just so happens that this is the Marvel world again.

Who knows if this legend is true?

After the three gang members cursed for a few words, they were afraid of encountering such an unfortunate thing as a black cat and forget about it.

They support each other and walk together...

Walking staggeringly...

However, when they raised their heads and saw the scene in front of them, Xun Xun's drunkenness flew to the sky at this moment, and the whole person woke up instantly.

They swear that there is nothing in this world that can get rid of a hangover faster than this!

Half drowsy, half sensible, they looked left and right.

Stunned to discover, the familiar streets of Hell's Kitchen...

Already, completely disappeared!

In its place are unfamiliar streets!

"This...this is...what's going on?!" One of the gang members without any hair on his head looked around in cold sweat and panicked, everything in front of him was extremely unfamiliar , only the two companions who smelled of alcohol beside him, he gave her a very familiar feeling, and the rest were unfamiliar.

One second he was in Hell's Kitchen, but the next second...

He was shocked and horrified to find that he seemed to...

In another city!

This is a strange city!

The moon and darkness in the sky also disappeared, replaced by a blue sky and sunshine.

A thought of the dark night...

Think of the daytime!

The unfamiliar street shone with a very beautiful golden light under the sunlight. The surrounding walls, temples, arch bridges, corridors, etc., were made of a kind of never seen before, and It is very similar to marble, with a distinct texture, and it is built.

The wide streets were lined with various green plants, green plants they had never seen before.

The end of the street is a wasteland, but the end of the wasteland is a city.

Yes!At the end of the desolation, it is definitely a city!

They are not nearsighted and they have very good eyesight.

A strange city like a mirage.

Less than a kilometer away from them!

"What exactly is this?!!"

The three of them had completely forgotten about the black cat they had encountered before.

And the crisp bell sound that came from the ear just now. *
