I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 267 The Spokesperson for the Miracle Potion—Tony Stark

Norman Osborn.

Looking at the man who appeared in Connors's remnant memories, Erin had a strange feeling that was both unexpected and yet reasonable.

Even before seeing Connors' strange appearance, Erin had already guessed that he possessed some demonic aura.

Now he is merely using psychic abilities to corroborate his own conjecture.

After all, when Erin first noticed the Green Goblin's presence on the battlefield, he had already suspected something about the demonic marks on Dr. Lizard's body.

Just as Erin saw Norman Osborn's figure in Connors's remnant memories and thought that everything had come to an end.

A refined-looking man with a silver pendant wrapped around his wrist suddenly appeared in the scene and greeted Norman Oss in an unusually familiar tone.

That is...

The moment he saw the refined man, a sense of familiarity flashed in Erin's eyes, and then a memory that he had been gradually forgetting instantly surfaced in Erin's mind.

It's him.

The mysterious man I encountered outside the naturist sect who triggered my spiritual warning.

How did he end up there?

After carefully examining the mysterious man who appeared in Connors's remnant memories, Erin's attention was quickly drawn to the silver pendant on his hand.

Below a silver bracelet with interlocking links, hangs a thumb-sized cross pendant, which appears to be carved with a human figure with its feet bound by chains and its head facing down.

Just as Erin was gazing at the statue, beneath the upside-down statue, a twisted, corrupt, and dark light suddenly flashed.

Click!

Almost instantly, the scene before Erin's eyes shattered into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, a dark, corrupt light surged toward Erin, following his gaze.

"not good."

Upon seeing this, Erin, recalling a past experience, instantly broke the "spirit communication" ritual and withdrew all her gaze and spirituality.

··········

"hiss······"

A few seconds later, Erin, whose head was throbbing intermittently, rubbed his temples in the sky, feeling a bit of a headache.

Fortunately, having previously glimpsed the indescribable monster through photographs, Erin sensed something was wrong and quickly ended the "spirit communication" ritual. He then withdrew his own spirituality and used the properties of the Balance Space to block the invasion of the dark light.

Otherwise, his problem would be more than just a headache.

Even so, Erin's mind still felt like it had been turned into mush by that dim light.

My head is splitting with pain.

After exhaling several deep breaths, Erin recalled the strange pendant he had just seen, and his face slowly became serious.

An inverted cross, a statue of a sinner bearing the weight of all living beings!

That pendant looks so much like the real creator in the Cthulhu universe!

Do not!

It's probably just a coincidence.

Although the pendant looks somewhat similar to the image of the fallen creator, there are subtle differences.

While the belief in God is prevalent in this world, many cults also use upside-down crosses and sinners as religious symbols.

But how did that mysterious, refined man end up in Connors's fragmented memories?

What is his relationship with Norman Osborn?

What was almost a settled matter seems to have been thrown into new turmoil by the appearance of that mysterious man.

and many more.

In Connors's remnant memories, that guy looked unusually familiar with Norman Osborn.

Could it be that the reason Norman Osborn in this world embarked on the path of the Green Goblin and mastered those bizarre spells is also related to that guy?

Thinking about this...

Erin's eyes narrowed slightly.

If Norman Osborn really is connected to that mysterious guy.

So everything seemed to make sense, but if he wanted to deal with Norman Osborn, he had to be wary of the possible variables.

···········

After the pain in my head subsided.

Erin's spirit then leaped back into his body.

With a swipe of his foot on the ground, he broke the sealed spiritual wall, and then Erin heard Kiris's voice in his ears.

"Boss, Steve and Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. are here. Should I get rid of them?"

"No need, I've already got what I wanted, let them handle the rest."

After saying that, he and Kiris erased all traces of themselves.

Erin and Kiris disappeared into the dark sewers.

Not long after Erin and the others left.

Steve, holding a shield, and Coulson, holding a pen and a flashlight in one hand, followed the loud commotion and gunshots and found their way here.

"There are people over there."

When the beam of the flashlight swept across Connors, who lay sprawled in a pool of vomit and blood.

Coulson immediately gave a soft shout.

Steve, alerted by Coulson, quickly followed the beam of his flashlight and found Connors, who had only been dead for a short time.

"Victim, or..."

With a hint of caution, Steve slowly approached and carefully examined Dr. Connors' body. After checking Dr. Connors' temperature by placing his wrist on Dr. Connors' neck, Steve said to Coulson, "He's still warm. He must have died not long ago. It seems he encountered that dangerous lizard monster just before we arrived."

"We encountered that lizard monster? No, compared to the captain's possibility, I'm more suspicious that this guy is the lizard monster we just chased away..."

Recalling the giant lizard monster from before, Steve looked at Connors' corpse again, shook his head, and said, "You're saying he's that lizard monster from before? How could that be? He's far inferior to that monster."

Upon hearing this, Coulson smiled wryly and said, "Actually, I don't quite believe that this guy is the same lizard monster from earlier, but... what he spat out is too suspicious."

As he spoke, Coulson moved the flashlight beam up and shone it on the pile of vomit beneath Connors.

"Captain, look at these."

Following Coulson's finger, Steve quickly saw that the pile of vomit under Connors was not ordinary vomit at all, but pieces of undigested flesh and organs.

And these things were all raw. What made it even harder for Steve to accept was that he vaguely saw a bloody, mangled finger among them.

"The lizard monster we found earlier was feeding on scraps of flesh on the battlefield. If this corpse was indeed killed by that monster, judging from its behavior, it would never have given up such a prize. But now..."

"And what this guy vomited up was really suspicious."

As he spoke, Coulson seemed to have thought of something, and when he saw the pile of vomit, his stomach clenched involuntarily.

"We just need to have someone take this vomit and the contents of the corpse's stomach for testing, and we'll figure everything out."

After hearing Coulson's words, Steve instinctively frowned, but when he saw the vomit hanging from Connors' mouth, the captain couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, Steve asked again, "If he really is the lizard monster we're hunting, then who killed him?"

The bloody hole on the back of Connors' head was not something he made himself.

Coulson listened and fell silent for a moment.

"Regardless, let me find out who this guy is first!"

As he spoke, Coulson stepped forward and straightened Connors' face.

Then he aimed his mechanical arm at Connors' face.

next second.

A beam of red light shot out from Coulson's mechanical arm and swept across Connors' face.

To facilitate the identification of criminals, Coulson specifically asked Tony to install a facial recognition system on his robotic arm.

Coulson then connected this facial recognition system to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database.

"Beep beep beep."

Just three seconds later, a green light lit up on Coulson's robotic arm.

A hint of joy flashed across Coulson's face when he saw the green dot appear on the indicator light.

"We've found out who this guy is."

A series of detailed information was then projected onto Coulson and Steve in a green projection.

Curtis Kurt Connors.

[A renowned PhD in Biology.]

During his tenure as a professor at Columbia University, he published numerous important papers in journals such as […] and was nominated for the […] Award.

After losing his arm in an accident, Curtis Curt Connors resigned from his professorship at Columbia University and was later hired by the Osborn Corporation for a hefty sum to become the head of the Osborn Corporation's interspecies genetics project...

Looking at the huge pile of documents that appeared in front of him.

Steve stared at the dead Curtis Curt Connors with an incredulous expression.

This guy is actually a PhD.

He was also a professor at Columbia University?

When I first saw Curtis Curt Connors, dressed in rags and shirtless, dead in this dark sewer...

Steve thought he was a homeless man living in the New York sewers.

He was killed to silence him because he accidentally bumped into that lizard monster.

But now...

After a moment of silence, Steve spoke up: "I'm starting to believe your judgment."

A former Columbia University professor and project manager for research at the Osborne Group is clearly not a true homeless person.

This makes the death of Curtis Curt Connors in this dark sewer even more suspicious.

Upon hearing this, Coulson nodded and said to Steve, "I'll have Natasha and the others come over first to receive the body. After they arrive, we'll check the surrounding area for any other clues."

If the guy on the ground is indeed related to the lizard monster from before, then it means that he and the captain have found their target.

But in this way...

Who killed Curtis Curt Connors has become a new question they must confront.

Was it an act of heroism, or murder to cover it up?

···········

After resolving the issue with Dr. Lizard.

Erin and Kiris quickly returned to the ground.

After using a ritual magic to "purify" the sewer smell from his body.

Erin then realized that the fighting on the ground had almost subsided.

With the arrival of more and more military weapons such as fighter jets and tanks, the mechanical life forms, lacking any support, became easy prey.

Although the subsequent efforts to capture the escaped mechanical beings resulted in numerous casualties.

However, under the operation of various federal violent agencies, none of those nascent mechanical lifeforms escaped the federal authorities' capture.

After all the escaped mechanical lifeforms were captured.

The Hammer Industries military factory, which was the source of the incident, was surrounded by tanks and fighter jets.

Of course, all of this has little to do with Erin.

At that moment, Erin was being harassed relentlessly by Tony Stark's numerous phone calls.

prior to.

To escape the thorny cage.

Like Natasha, Tony Stark walked barefoot down a thorny path.

Natasha had a special injection provided by S.H.I.E.L.D. to suppress the pain in her foot, while Tony had absolutely nothing, barely managing to run out of the thorny path with just two self-made crutches.

The excruciating pain nearly made Tony Stark faint.

After running out of the thorny path, Tony originally wanted to find an opportunity to have Erin give his feet a holy light healing treatment so that he could regain his strength.

But unexpectedly, before he could even speak to Erin...

The silver-white robot inside the thorn cage self-destructed.

Having barely escaped the powerful explosion, Erin vanished the moment he turned around.

Unable to find Arryn anywhere, Tony Stark had no choice but to call him.

However, this time, Erin refused Tony's request.

Seeing the phone ringing again, Erin, who was annoyed to no end by Tony's constant nagging, simply turned the phone off.

In an instant, the whole world became quiet.

Seeing this, Gillies asked curiously, "Boss, you healed Natasha this time, why didn't you heal Tony Stark?"

Logically speaking, shouldn't the BOSS be closer to Tony Stark because of Ms. Pepper's presence?

"I might need Natasha from S.H.I.E.L.D. later, so I did her a favor. As for Tony Stark, our miracle drug is about to be released, right? If we cure him directly, where are we going to find such a good spokesperson?"
