Chapter 1 New York's fire-passing sacrificial site
Chapter 1 The Fire Sacrifice in New York
In 2006, there was a quiet alley in Hell's Kitchen, New York. At the entrance of the alley, a car was parked diagonally, half of the car's head resting on the side of the trash can at the entrance of the alley. Two tall men were smoking cigarettes beside the car.
Waiting for their boss to finish his work.
Suddenly there was a sound of celery breaking, followed by the dull sound of objects falling.
The two black men hurriedly took out their pistols, raised them horizontally above their heads, and looked into the alley to see something. Suddenly, two rounds of ammunition wrapped with blue electric light found their foreheads and hit them.
A woman with reddish-brown hair walked out of the alley holding a transmitter on her wrist. She ignored Xiao Hei who was lying down and opened the car door.
After starting the car and operating the headset a few times, Natasha said directly: "Kingpin drove the other five gangsters out of Hell's Kitchen. No one knows what he thinks. He is the only one who can contact Kingpin now."
Accountant Leslie.”
"But it is said that Kingpin has recently fallen in love with a painter, I think his name is Vanessa. Do you need me to get in touch with him?"
Opposite the intercom, Fury, dressed in black, directed Natasha's subsequent actions.
"I will let other people take charge of this matter next, and you can have a period of leave."
"Really? This is the first time you have given me a day off. Is there any reason?" Natasha turned off the car engine and waited for Fury to give a definite answer.
"Congratulations, Natasha, you passed the final review stage. We decided to confirm your identity and finally report it to the Security Council for backup. This period is your vacation. Congratulations." After speaking, Fury said
Hang up the phone.
Natasha sat in the car, her tense body finally slowly relaxed, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. No one knew how much mental pressure she was under after running away from various intelligence organizations after leaving the Red House. Even the Eagle
When Clint introduced her to SHIELD, she was always on guard against backstabbing.
Fury, who is now doing three steps, told her that she passed the review stage, which means that her identity is no longer a secret among SHIELD and the Security Council, and Fury must have arranged all the subsequent steps.
matter.
She doesn't need to worry about it anymore, even if she has no way to get involved.
At this time, Natasha was relieved. She also had a 'legal identity', and from now on she only had to follow Nick Fury's arrangements.
After relaxing, Natasha heard the rustling sounds coming from the alley just now, as if someone was whispering.
Looking from the car door, Xiao Hei, who had just broken an arm and a leg, was lying on the ground, holding a glass bottle taken out of the trash can next to him, and saying something to the glass bottle.
Natasha pointed the launcher on her wrist at the boss of Xiao Hei with her backhand, and another bullet with blue electric light hit Xiao Hei's head, and then the sound of electric current sounded.
Without looking at Xiao Hei's tragic situation, Natasha started the car again. She was going on vacation.
Since coming to New York, Natasha has not seriously seen this heaven and hell. She wants to see the sea. She heard that there is a green park in Long Island, and you can see the entire Brooklyn estuary from the cliff.
So after coming out of Hell's Kitchen, Natasha went straight onto the Brooklyn Bridge and drove to Long Island.
Just as she was driving off the Brooklyn Bridge, Natasha inexplicably noticed a strangely dressed nun walking on the roadside.
Natasha slowly followed the car next to the nun, and then she could see the nun's whole face clearly.
The nun has long silver-grey hair and silver metal jewelry on her eyes. The jewelry has a pointed cone protruding upwards and stops just above the bridge of the nose. The jewelry is exquisitely constructed and complicated, and there is even a gemstone inlaid on the forehead.
The entire ornament wraps around the nun's head, tying her hair back just right, leaving only a few strands of hair on the temples.
The nun is wearing a completely black robe, which looks worn and has faded silver edges. There are also silver-white patterns on the chest of the robe, and the nun also wears a shawl covering her upper body. The shawl is tied by a bronze pendant with a long
The long chain finally hung down on the nun's upper abdomen.
"Hello, Miss Nun." Natasha had just said these words before she realized that the nun's eye jewelry covered the entire eye, with no hollow design or any observation opening.
"Hello, madam." The nun turned towards the direction where Natasha was, put her hands together under her lower abdomen, squatted down slightly and saluted.
Seeing the nun like this, Natasha didn't know what to say.
"Well, do you need any help? Or do you need to go somewhere? I can take you there now." Natasha got out of the car without waiting for the fire girl's reply, opened the back seat door, and helped the fire girl get into the car.
After getting on the bus, I learned from the communication with the nun that she had just arrived here today as a church nun to serve Lord Ashes.
"Then you, Lord Ashes, are really nothing. Let me let you come out alone."
When the nun heard this, she covered her mouth and snickered and said: "I want to come out alone today, and I didn't ask Lord Ashes to send anyone to follow. I want to come out and see this new world by myself."
"Then I feel even more that your ashes are nothing."
A blind nun came out to take a look today, but no one has come to help. Natasha felt more and more that there was something wrong with this sect. But she couldn't say anything or object. After entering S.H.I.E.L.D.
In the past few years, she has also come into contact with various types of sects. As long as there are people who believe in them and a place to host them, religions in various senses can be established.
No matter what these religions with their followers do, as long as no one reports them, they are legal and extremely exclusive. Normal people who want to join a religion must go through a series of tests. And some people use the guise of new religions to solicit money and want to
You will also have to pay a large amount to withdraw.
Natasha wanted to get more information from the nun and see if she could do anything meaningful during her vacation.
"Then who is that Ashes of yours?"
After asking this question, Natasha noticed that the look on the fire girl's face became serious. She only heard the nun say: "Master Ashes listened to the sound of the fire bell, climbed up from the ownerless cemetery, and stepped on
The hero who travels the path of fire, obtains the firewood of the King of Fire, and lights the original furnace again."
"What about you? What is your role in the sect?" Natasha looked at the nun in the rearview mirror.
"I am the fire-prevention woman at the sacrificial site. I maintain the presence of flames at the sacrificial site and turn ownerless souls into ashes."
The host is a so-called hero, so why should a blind nun maintain a flame? Comparing flames and nuns, Natasha can only think of the torture of burning witches to death in the Middle Ages. Natasha is 100% sure that this is definitely a crab leg.
.
The next thing to do is to contact this so-called sacrificial site, obtain more information, and get the evidence to pull this girl out of this quagmire.
Having made up her mind, Natasha drove the car to the location mentioned by the fire prevention girl.
A dilapidated wall surrounds part of the cliff on the seaside. After passing through the brass gate that requires several people to open, what you see in front of you are the broken steps rising step by step. Some of the steps have even been lost long ago. Only the grass later replaced them.
Covered. At the very end, there was only a bunker-like building hidden at the end of the steps. There was a tower on the left and right. The tower on the right even lost its entire top floor. The towers were connected by stone corridors. Natasha looked at the damage.
I don’t know what to say about the architecture.
Natasha, who opened the door and saw everything, thought instead: 'Is there such a poor church? It's so dilapidated. It seems that this sect not only has stupid doctrines, but also doesn't even know how to cheat money.'
At this time, I saw the fire-prevention woman next to me walking forward, extending her hand and saying, "Welcome to the Fire Sacrifice."
