A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Luke didn't really want to.

But it's good to keep it as a backup plan; it's always better to be prepared.

And even if he doesn't need it, Hela does.

After all, black gems only exist in the world of the dead, where souls reside, and they are also a cornerstone for stabilizing the world of the dead.

Hela's Helheim has been sealed off for so long that her soul has long since dried up, as can be seen from Hela's tattered clothes.

If all these black gems were thrown into Helheim, they might not have a significant effect, but little by little, they would accumulate. Once the number of black gems reached a certain point, the broken souls would find their own way out.

Stryker didn't speak, but looked at Luke.

Lu Ke's expression was very honest.

after awhile.

Stryker smiled and extended his right hand: "If you have these things to make that equipment, I'd like to see it."

Luke looked down at Stryker and shook his hand: "No problem!"

The deal is done.

Stryker took one-tenth of this box of black gems, while he took nine-tenths.

The division of the spoils is over.

At Luke's suggestion, Andy and Maren found a wooden stick and took about five fist-sized black gems from the wooden box and put them into another empty wooden box they found in the basement.

There are many of these empty wooden crates in the basement.

Looking around, there are at least fifty boxes.

Stryker looked thoughtfully at the empty wooden crates that had all been opened: "If the only purpose of these black gems is to create a second hell, Luke, do you think these are meant to hold the black gems, or have they already been distributed?"

As he spoke, Stryker glanced at Luke standing beside him: "Also, was this the Red Devils' own doing, or Whitehorn's?"

Luke looked at Stryker.

"What do you think."

"If Red Devil is Whitehead's only trump card, logically Whitehead would not let Red Devil leave his side, but Red Devil still appeared here, which means that there is something more important than Red Devil being by his side."

"I agree."

Lu Ke nodded, and said thoughtfully, "But black gems only have two uses: either to recreate hell or to craft equipment. There is no other use. Crafting equipment is unlikely, but the first one is also not very realistic."

Stryker frowned.

"How can it not be realistic?"

"We already have hell."

Luke glanced at Stryker: "If you were the Lord of Hell who now governs the souls of Earth, would you just stand by and watch someone use your Hellish black gems to create another Hell?"

Stryker shook his head: "No, then why would Whitehold need such a black gemstone?"

Luke shrugged.

Who knows.

Fortunately, he had the skill to make ghosts talk.

Lu Ke planned to leave his body and visit Hela's Underworld after returning home. It just so happened that he would be free later, and if he was lucky enough to bump into Hela taking a bath, he could sneak up to her and peek at the beautiful woman emerging from her bath.

If Hela doesn't mind, we might be able to take a bath together.

Lu Ke thought to himself.

at this time.

After finishing loading the black gems onto the truck, Maren returned to the basement: "Sir, Director Dane, everything is loaded."

Luke snapped out of his reverie and looked at Stryker: "Why think so much? Once the game officially starts, I'll just go to the church and buy some more holy water and mercury bullets."

Upon hearing this, Stryker couldn't help but shake his head and say, "You'd better not buy it outside. I'm afraid you'll buy counterfeit goods. After I return to Atlanta, I'll send you a case of holy water and mercury bullets."

Luke said to Stryker, "Why don't you just come with me then and take down Maren and the others? Tsk tsk tsk, with that fighting power, let alone demons, even the Lord of Hell would probably be out of commission!"

Hearing Luke's praise of their combat prowess, Malen quickly expressed his gratitude.

Stryker shook his head and said, "I can help you within the scope of my work, but once you officially begin, we are not allowed to intervene as required."

That's the rule.

After all, this is to prevent a conflict between two people from dragging the entire organization into it and turning it into a Hydra civil war, which would be terrible.

There are precedents for this.

same……

This will serve as a cautionary tale in the near future.

The Avengers Civil War was originally caused by the feud between Tony Stark and the Winter Soldier, but it was ultimately turned into a civil war within the organization.

Hydra has truly learned from its mistakes.

soon.

The two men and Maren came out of the basement and went back outside.

The room behind them had been cleaned up, with no trace of corpses or blood.

The 91-point black gem, and Luke's 9 points, had just been loaded into his Audi A8 by two Sentinel agents.

Lu Ke took out his phone, sent a location to Malone, and then said to Malone, "This location, tonight's expenses are on me. Your superior and I will go first, and come over as soon as we're done."

Upon hearing this, Malen and the other sentries immediately responded with delight.

Luke and Stryker got into the black Audi A8 first, started the car, and sped off towards the downtown bar they had located.

When Lu Ke finished his social engagements and drove home, reeking of alcohol, it was still a little over a minute before 2 a.m.

Fortunately.

The moment Luke pushed open the door and got out of the car, white mist instantly evaporated on his back.

All of a sudden.

The garage was filled with the aroma of expensive bourbon, as well as the lingering scent of three or four beautiful women from the bar.

After returning to the bedroom.

Rachel had already gone to sleep. Luke thought for a moment, then carried the wooden crate to the study and found a comfortable spot on the sofa to lie down.

then……

Out of body experience!

……

Chapter 284 Hela, who comes with her own dowry (Third update!)

The world of Haier's Underworld remains the same as before.

dark.

silence.

There was no sign of life; it was as if no life could be born here, and life itself regarded this place as its forbidden zone.

but……

After opening his eyes, Lu Ke still sensed something slightly different.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

After all, when he was in the Main God Space, he never actively involved himself with any power system related to death in any of the power systems he cultivated.

But this change is good.

He was certain of that.

only……

Where is the soul?

Where did the Red Devil's soul go?

Luke wandered around the darkness of Hale's Underworld, but couldn't find the soul of the Red Devil that he had recently sent in.

Did the Red Devil's soul go to hell after all?

impossible.

The most fundamental law governing the soul is that whoever kills rules.

Because this law is the embodiment of death itself, that is, the law of death, and was personally established by the goddess of death.

Just as Lu Ke was getting curious, a noise coming from the depths of darkness caught his attention.

He looked up in the direction from which the noise came, and with a thought, he appeared directly in the deepest part of the darkness, where he saw the bustling construction site.

and many more?

Construction site?

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow and stared blankly at the construction site deep in the darkness, where a palace-like structure seemed to be under construction in full swing.

In that construction site, the souls of oxen and horses toiled tirelessly, carrying huge stones on their backs, while about two hundred humanoid souls were laboriously moving stones to build the site.

The giant wolf Fenrir acted like a supervisor, its green eyes illuminating the darkness like light bulbs. Whenever it saw a lazy soul, it would swallow it whole and then spit it out.

Lu Ke looked on in surprise.

next second.

More than two hundred souls?

Wait a moment.

Did I... kill that many people?

Lu Ke frowned.

at this time.
