At this moment, in this place.
The Wandenreich, Stern Ritter, is officially established!
Although there are currently only two members, Loke is convinced that in the near future, the number of members will gradually increase, until it transforms into a true Wandenreich!
But there is still one problem to solve.
Quincy are different from Shinigami and Hollows, they are not in a soul state, but humans with physical bodies, who can be seen by ordinary people!
Therefore, before Jessica and Matt have grown up, they should not be exposed to the public too early, especially to that Nick Fury with persecution paranoia.
Just like the Wandenreich in the original work, which was hidden in the shadows of the Seireitei where the Shinigami live, the currently weaker Stern Ritter also needs to be hidden in the shadows of others for the time being!
But where is a suitable place to choose?
Just as Loke was feeling troubled by this, he suddenly saw the dead Purple Man, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "Matt, how much do you know about the Hand?"
"A lot, I can be considered an enemy of them." Matt's eyes dimmed slightly, remembering his ex-girlfriend, and his mood suddenly became a little low: "Haschwalth-sama, are you interested in the Hand?"
When it comes to the Hand, one woman is bound to be mentioned—Elektra!
She is Daredevil Matt's ex-girlfriend, the two separated due to disagreements, but unexpectedly when they met again, Elektra had been brainwashed by the Hand and turned into a ruthless killing machine!
Although Matt broke into the Hand several times to rescue Elektra, he failed in the end because of his lack of strength, and he almost died at Elektra's hands several times.
"That's good."
Loke's delicate features revealed a kind of indifference, and he said in a calm tone: "I have something to talk to them about, can you lead the way for me?"
Matt saw the killing intent flashing in Haschwalth's eyes, and was immediately shocked, and quickly said: "Haschwalth-sama, the Hand's strength is very strong, if we rush in rashly, there may be accidents!"
Because he had broken into the Hand headquarters many times in order to save Elektra, he knew better than anyone how terrifying that professional ninja assassination group was!
In Matt's opinion, although Haschwalth's strength is very strong and his methods are extremely mysterious.
But if he rashly breaks into the huge Hand headquarters, facing hundreds of ninjas proficient in assassination, and the terrifying 'Five Fingers', I am afraid it will be difficult to escape unscathed!
Jessica also stood up and echoed: "Haschwalth-sama, I also agree with Matt's opinion, the current Hand is different from before, it is very dangerous inside!"
"Oh?"
Loke pushed his glasses with one hand, and asked curiously: "Tell me what you know."
Jessica recalled: "When I was controlled by the Purple Man, I saw the Hand's 'Five Fingers' once in an underground secret room. But they... felt like they weren't human, there was an unspeakable strangeness."
"Are you sure?"
Matt frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "Perhaps what you saw was not the 'Five Fingers', but some other things?"
Jessica shook her head, and then said in a deep voice: "I can tell you very definitely that what I saw at the time was the 'Five Fingers', and the sentence 'not human' was told to me privately by the Purple Man."
"The point is... 'not like humans'?"
Matt savored this sentence, while touching his chin, and said: "A lunatic like the Purple Man is willing to cooperate with the Hand, it is very likely that he was coerced and had to help the Hand."
Before, Matt felt a little strange, with the Purple Man's ability and Jessica's cooperation, even if they couldn't beat the Hand, they wouldn't be reduced to helping the Hand do things, right?
But now it seems...
There is a big secret in this!
Matt said solemnly: "Jessica,
think back carefully, see if there is any other information?"
"Okay..."
Jessica took a deep breath, although she didn't want to recall the things when she was controlled, but for Haschwalth-sama, she was still willing to try.
"I remembered!"
Jessica suddenly said: "The Purple Man also told me one thing, he said he must snatch that 'Book'!"
Book?
Matt was slightly startled, "Snatch a book? Are you sure the Purple Man said that? What else did he say?"
"I remember... the Purple Man seemed to say..." Jessica frowned, trying hard to recall: "That book is a divine weapon, which bestows the Five Fingers with the power of immortality, so he cooperated with them."
A 'book' that can bestow immortality?
Loke pushed his glasses with one hand, thoughtfully saying: "Things are getting interesting."
This is a bit intriguing.
Logically speaking, the Hand is just an assassin group in Marvel.
The only thing that deserves his attention is probably the immortal dragon bones that the Hand's Five Fingers stole from Kunlun Mountain.
But now there is a book that can bestow immortality.
What a strong sense of deja vu...
Are you sure this is not Doctor Strange coming to visit?
Looking back at the Hand's recent disappearance, it seems to have a lot to do with this book!
It seems necessary to take a look!
"Haschwalth-sama!"
Matt knelt on one knee and said: "I suggest investigating clearly first, and then making a plan, and then I will sneak in first, this is safer."
There are too many uncertain factors!
The strength of the Five Fingers is already very terrifying, now they are given power by a book, and even the Purple Man cannot resist.
These situations made Matt have to worry about Haschwalth!
"No need to worry."
Loke's eyes were half-closed, the corners of his lips slightly raised, evoking a calm and gentle smile: "The Hand is just some dust, whether it's one or two, it makes no difference to me."
The Hand is just the first step, if he can't even take this step, how can he compete with 'Death' in the future?
Cowardice will only lead to death!
Timidity will inevitably lead to failure!
Since he wants to usurp the power of the creator god, how can he shrink back!
...
Hand headquarters.
Loke, dressed in a white military uniform, hovered above the night sky.
On both sides of him, Daredevil Matt and Jessica were standing in mid-air like him.
After the physique is transformed into a Quincy, controlling Reishi is like breathing, almost an instinct engraved in the soul.
Therefore, using Reishi to construct steps under their feet is not too difficult for Matt and Jessica, and after a little familiarity, they can easily do it.
The building of the Hand headquarters is dark, and the structure inside cannot be seen from the outside.
"Elektra... I'm coming!"
Matt muttered in his heart.
Ever since his ex-girlfriend was controlled by the Hand, he had always wanted to rescue Elektra, and today he can finally do it!
"Let's go."
Loke said indifferently: "Let's go and see what's inside."
