A Journey of American Comics Starting from the Zombie Universe

Chapter 196 Hellfire Hotel

Fury and Coulson stood side by side, staring blankly at the sky.The sky is so blue, as blue as an endless ocean, as blue as a pure gem.

The sudden sense of emptiness was in sharp contrast to the previous dark and narrow secret room, and for a moment the two agents were unable to recover.

Fury couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart. He already knew about the super speed ability of this silver-haired man named Pietro from the slow-playing Sanfei video, but his personal experience still shocked him deeply. This kind of speed The feeling of traveling dozens of kilometers to another place is like magic.

Coulson stood aside, blinked and came to his senses and exclaimed: "Oh my God, that Pietro's speed is unbelievable! This is much more interesting than the Gamma Monster!"

"Stop staring at the sky. This is a little different from the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters I imagined." Bai Ye said quietly. At this time, he was standing in front of an entire luxurious hotel. The hotel was majestic and towering into the clouds. It has a gorgeous appearance and exquisite decoration.

The luxurious atmosphere pervading the lobby can be clearly seen here, with tall crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, illuminating the spacious marble floor.

High-end furniture, paintings and decorations decorate the entire lobby, making it particularly luxurious.Crowds were coming and going, including male and female guests in fashionable dresses and hotel employees in professional attire. Everyone was busy in the lobby.

The place where the few people were located was in a parking lot filled with densely parked vehicles. A tall and tall tree cast a shadow through the canopy of the tree, allowing them to be ignored by the crowds of people coming and going.

"What do you mean?" Fury touched his blindfold. It was good that it hadn't been blown off by the wind. Then he looked at Bai Ye and asked with some doubts.

Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters?It sounds like it has something to do with that Charles Xavier.

"It means that this is supposed to be a place where a group of mutant students fight with each other in class and where they are attacked by mutant hate groups or heroes from all walks of life. No matter how bad it is, it should be the ancestral home, not something... uh, a luxury hotel. "

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, touched his chin and looked at the hotel.

Although the hotel is a modern building on the surface, upon closer inspection, it seems that you can vaguely see the old appearance of the castle.

The walls of the hotel, although covered with high-end paints and exquisite oil paintings, reveal the texture of stone bricks in some places.

Under the marble floor, there may be ancient traces that bear witness to hundreds of years of history and mutant people. This luxury hotel was obviously renovated on the basis of a castle. The ancient traces and modern luxury complement each other, forming a peculiar atmosphere. Fusion.

At this moment, a uniformed security guard noticed this group of people who were obviously dressed abnormally. He quickly walked towards the big tree, his hand was already on the walkie-talkie on his waist, and at the same time he yelled: "Hey! Don't you guys?" It should be here! This is a membership-only place, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass!"

Coulson immediately put on a friendly smile when he heard the sound, took out a pair of IDs from somewhere, and then confidently approached them.

"The General Administration of Strategic Homeland Defense and Logistics Support is working. We are performing our mission. Please don't disturb us."

He is the best at this kind of work, and he is very comfortable with it. This skill in dealing with different scenarios is the professional skill he has developed as a field agent over the years.

He knows how to stay calm in emergencies and makes good use of the authority of official institutions and his own confidence to create a deterrent that prevents people around him from questioning easily.The security guard was obviously shocked by the popularity of the kind-hearted old man in front of him. He swallowed and came forward to examine Colson's ID, trying to identify any flaws or problems.

However, the documents do look very authentic.

"Captain, I have someone here who claims to be a land strategy." The security guard just started to report, but on the intercom, there was a series of chirping sounds, which seemed to be receiving some instructions or information.

As the voice on the other end of the intercom sounded, the security guard's face instantly became serious, and his eyes on everyone could not help but change a bit.

Coulson looked at all this with a smile. He was all too familiar with this situation. Both the CIA and the FBI had to make way for SHIELD. Naturally, the security system of a mere hotel could not stop them.

Finally, the security guard hung up the intercom and said in an admonishing tone when facing everyone: "You can pass, but please keep a low profile and don't disturb the guests here."

Bai Ye smiled and shook his head, walked to the front of the crowd and said, "That's natural. By the way, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask what the name of your hotel or this membership-only place is? There doesn't seem to be a plaque here."

The security guard who was about to turn around and leave turned around, shrugged and said without hesitation: "Hellfire Club. The name is weird, right? But many upper-class people like to visit this place."

Fury and Coulson had no special reaction, but Bai Ye and Quicksilver immediately looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

The Hellfire Club, an international social club controlled by mutants, is open to people of all kinds with influence or wealth. The main purpose of the club owners is to influence the entire world through the political connections they have acquired.

Their most famous members are Black King Sebastian and White Queen Emma, ​​but the luxury hotel in front of them doesn't seem to have anything to do with mutants, except that it seems to be the ancestral property of Charles Xavier's family. outside the castle.

Bai Ye shook his head imperceptibly, signaled Pietro to be calm, turned around and led everyone towards the hotel.Fury keenly caught Bai Ye's surprise. He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Hellfire Club? You seem to be reacting to this name. Is there anything special about it?"

"Do you know this club?" Bai Ye asked.

But what he didn't expect was that Black Braised Dan nodded directly and said very naturally: "I know, I have written down all the places that big shots like to go to in my notebook, and this is just one of them. I just wrote it down myself." There are at least a dozen pages.”

"Speaking of which, why did you react to that name?" Hei Lu Dan narrowed his eyes. He would not let such a small detail slip through his fingers.

"It's nothing. You heard what the security guard said. It's a weird name. You see, he's been hearing it like that for several years." Bai Ye shrugged and dismissed the question casually.

If there's an elite club called the Hellfire Club, that's probably just a coincidence.

But a Hellfire Club built on the site of Professor X's academy?
