Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Due to material limitations and the interruption of the programming process caused by Sherlock's water flow, Tony's Mark I armor, despite Sherlock's alchemy assistance in starting it up, still experienced extremely slow self-checks.

This gave Sherlock ample time to do his own thing. Don't forget, when Sherlock agreed to rescue Tony, it was partly to test his artifact and partly to intimidate Hydra.

For Sherlock, a transmigrator who was a rabbit in his previous life, if you asked him what the best deterrent to an enemy is, he would probably answer with two words without hesitation.

Jingguan!

But if Sherlock really builds a mound of heads, Hydra will probably have to use the pretext of exterminating evil when they come to cause trouble for Sherlock in the future. After all, compared to simple killing, the existence of a mound of heads adds two more actions: beheading and stacking.

Therefore, what Sherlock needs is a method that can both deter Hydra and prevent Hydra from taking a righteous stance, since Hydra is currently still operating under the guise of S.H.I.E.L.D.

This alone means that Sherlock cannot use such extreme methods to intimidate them.

And there really is such a way to intimidate Hydra, but it's not so extreme, and most importantly, the effect is still significant!

puncture!

If you're not very familiar with these two characters, then seeing the full name should give you an idea of ​​what Sherlock is trying to do, since the person who invented this method is certainly a figure of historical renown.

Vlad III Tsepesch, the Piercing Duke!

If you are still unfamiliar with this name and nickname, then you should be very familiar with the virtual character created based on him.

Dracula!

That's right, it's the famous original vampire, Dracula.

Sherlock intends to imitate the Impaler and turn this valley into a living hell, so that neither Hydra nor S.H.I.E.L.D. can disturb his life anymore.

More importantly, this method is also the simplest among Sherlock's alchemical abilities.

After leaving the stinking cave, Sherlock saw Zhao Weike and Ethan just around the corner.

At this moment, Ethan was huddled up behind Zhao Weike, clearly terrified by the hail of bullets.

However, this is a normal phenomenon. Ethan's courage to use a gun to buy time so that Tony can escape does not mean that Ethan is not afraid of death, especially on the battlefield where bullets are whizzing past. An untrained ordinary person would not perform much better than Ethan.

As for Zhao Weike, it must be said that Zhao Weike's reputation as the Night Demon is well-deserved. He almost managed to keep the rhythm of his three-shot burst with a long spear.

Each gunshot represented the loss of a life. Zhao Weike, alone with a gun, managed to suppress the terrorists on the other side, preventing them from showing their faces again.

Seeing Sherlock emerge from the cave, Zhao Weike threw away his empty AK, casually drew his pistol from his waist, and rolled his eyes at Sherlock with annoyance.

"If you don't come out soon, I'll probably have to take this person back into the cave! There are just too many of them!"

Sherlock didn't care about Zhao Weike's complaints; instead, he smiled and said to Zhao Weike.

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me. Just take good care of Dr. Ethan!"

After saying that, Sherlock lightly tapped himself twice with his spear, and then walked out in a very casual manner!

Seeing Sherlock walk straight out, Ethan almost instinctively wanted to stop him, but the next second, both Ethan and Zhao Weike were dumbfounded when they saw Sherlock walk out.

The reason is simple: the scene around Sherlock was simply too extravagant.

The instant Sherlock stepped out, countless bullets rained down on him from all directions like locusts.

But those bullets, which were powerful enough to turn a person into mincemeat, would turn into beautiful, pure white petals near Sherlock's body before even touching him, gently brushing over his body and then drifting to the ground.

So much so that Sherlock, who kept moving forward, left a path made of white petals behind him.

If that were all, neither Zhao Weike nor Ethan would be too surprised; they would simply praise its brilliance. But Sherlock did not simply convert the bullets aimed at him directly; the spear in Sherlock's hand was also constantly being swung around.

The spear was supposed to be a melee weapon, but in Sherlock's hands, it was transformed into a scythe capable of reaping the lives of enemies from a distance.

Where the spear tip passed, countless stone spikes rose from the ground, impaling both those attacking Sherlock and those running, leaving them suspended in mid-air.

Most importantly, the person pierced does not die immediately. Amidst the splattering of blood and the wailing of the wounded, the scarlet blood splashes onto the white petals that Sherlock walks on. Combined with the wailing sounds, it is as if a bizarre yet magnificent hellish painting slowly unfolds before Zhao Weike and Ethan.

Gradually, the sound of gunfire ceased in the cave, leaving only the sound of Sherlock's footsteps and the painful wails of those who were still alive.

Such a scene would make even a seasoned and knowledgeable person like Ethan, or even someone like Zhao Weike who has seen countless bloodshed, shudder.

After all, for a killer like Zhao Weike, killing is nothing more than a head falling to the ground; taking lives is just an ordinary job.

But clearly, Sherlock's behavior was not like that; it was a kind of fear that made one's soul tremble.

Although Zhao Weike understood from the beginning what Sherlock's mission to rescue Tony was all about, he still felt his scalp tingle when he actually witnessed Sherlock's so-called "intimidation".

"I...I...we...we...what should we be doing now?"

Poor Ethan was trembling with fear at the sight before him, but he still mustered up the courage to ask Zhao Weike beside him. After all, this man had just saved his life, and Ethan's trust in Zhao Weike had been established.

After hearing Ethan's words, Zhao Weike lowered his head and thought for a moment before gritting his teeth and speaking to Ethan.

"Follow them!"

Upon hearing Zhao Weike's words, Ethan trembled even more violently. After all, Ethan didn't know Sherlock, and he was really afraid that Sherlock would also inexplicably string him together with someone else.

Honestly, if that were the case, Ethan would rather have been shot dead.

At least when someone is shot to death, they don't suffer endless torture like those who are strung up.
