Sacrifice? NO

Watching Nick wander around.

Henry continued, "Listen, evil exists as a shadow beyond our world..."

"They constantly search for a way to enter the human world, just to have a suitable, flesh-and-blood vessel."

As the two were talking, Ahmanet quietly chanted a spell, and soon a Little Spider was summoned from the Ventilation Duct.

As she watched the spider crawl out, Ahmanet's lips curled into a slight smile.

Henry continued, "Either we wait for the day they arrive."

"Or, we can fight them our own way."

Henry pointed to a wolf's head on the wall and said, "This is the head of Werewolf, an evil dark creature, which we have successfully Hunt."

Henry then pointed to the red crystal above and said, "This is a crystal left behind from the body of Vampire we killed."

Upon hearing Henry's description of these two items, Nick was stunned. "My God, are the legends of Vampire and Werewolf really true?"

Henry nodded, then turned to Nick and said, "Evil has always been lurking among us, it just hasn't been discovered by the public."

"And this reminds me of you."

Nick looked at Henry, surprised that the other had thought of a way to lift his curse, and said, "Me?"

"Great, fantastic, Doctor."

"You mean you can cure the curse on me and free me from it?"

"Then let's get moving, Doctor."

"By the way, what are your plans?"

Seeing Nick's somewhat agitated expression, Henry frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Morton, this matter is complicated."

Nick said, "Really? I'm fine."

Upon hearing Nick's statement, Henry explained, "When one performs salvation for humanity, certain sacrifices must be made."

Just as the two were talking, a Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. walked in.

"Excuse me, sir."

The agent who entered nodded to Henry, Henry immediately understood and said, "They've found them."

Nick, standing nearby, asked, somewhat puzzled, "Found what?"

Just then, Jane came over and called out, "Henry!"

Are you planning to kill him?

Nick asked, puzzled, "Kill who?"

"Jane, who to kill?"

Henry looked at Jane and said, "Jane, when Mr. Morton shot through those protective chains in the tomb, he was essentially courting death."

"Those chains have been imprisoning the power of Ahmanet for 5,000 years."

"And he was chosen as her best candidate, a thief who entered the tomb to steal things, his physical functions were forcibly altered, and he completely lost his soul."

Nick, hearing Henry's words, was somewhat confused. "What?"

Jane, however, realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "My God, you want to put the Gem back on the dagger and use it to stab him?"

Henry explained, "The dagger will force Set into his body, and then we'll destroy him."

Nick finally realized what was happening and exclaimed excitedly, "Wait, wait..."

"You want to poke me with that thing, really?"

Henry nodded and said, "That's probably what the Ancient Egypt did."

"Listen, they interrupted the ceremony, and that's a mistake we can't make again."

Henry felt something was wrong with his body; the evil within him was rising. He immediately went to his desk; he needed to continue injecting the medication to alleviate the symptoms.

However, Ahmanet's arrival caused the evil within him to resurface faster and faster, with the intervals between resurrections becoming shorter and shorter.

Nick frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Is this the plan, Henry...?"

Jane retorted, "You can't possibly do it."

While they were arguing, on the other side, the bound Ahmanet had already controlled the Little Spider, which silently crawled into the body of an agent who was injecting mercury.

The moment the spider crawled into the ear, the agent's pupils disappeared, leaving only the whites of his eyes.

As Henry attached the medicine to the syringe, he quickly said, "It's urgent; we don't have much time."

"Unfortunately, this is a risk we have to take."

Nick was still somewhat skeptical. "Is this really your plan?"

"Ahmanet said your curse cannot be broken."

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Morton, no matter what I do, you're going to die."

"If evil is cholera, a deadly contagious sap that enters our souls in this way, and the world needs healing, then you are the life-saving antidote."

Nick waved his hand and said, "Stop talking."

Henry continued, "For the greater good, you must make sacrifices!"

Nick refused, saying, "I'm not interested at all."

Henry had just finished loading the syringe when a sudden pain caused him to groan, and the syringe slipped from his hand and rolled towards Nick.

Nick saw the syringe on the desk, thought it was important to Henry, and grabbed it.

Upon seeing Nick's actions, the nearby agent immediately shouted, "No!"

Henry held out his palm and said, "Quick... give me the syringe."

Nick ignored Henry's request, instead holding the syringe and saying to Henry, "Alright, we won't take long. Let's all come up with a new plan. I believe that with a new plan, we can still solve the curse problem."

At this moment, the agent standing nearby changed his expression and immediately grabbed Jane, saying nervously, "We have to go."

Henry stood on the other side of the desk, his body trembling slightly, and said, "You have absolutely no idea what's going on."

Nick replied, "Really?"

"I know exactly what I'm doing."

At that moment, Henry Jekyll suddenly stood up straight, his voice became hoarse, and runes similar to those on Vail's face began to appear.

"Oh, my dear Henry Jekyll, if I had the features of Demon on my face, you would have a new friend."

Sensing something was wrong, Nick knew he had made a mistake, so he immediately placed the syringe on the table and quickly said, "Here, take it."

Meanwhile, the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. nearby had already pulled Jane away.

Henry regained some of his senses, picked up a syringe to inject himself, and said, "Run, Mr. Morton."

"What?"

"Run!"

After Henry shouted, it was too late to administer the injection. He could only use his last bit of strength to press the red button on the table.

An alarm immediately sounded in the room, and all the doors began to close automatically.

Nick, who was trying to escape, was a step too slow for Jane and the others, and was locked inside the room, unable to get out in time.

After Jane ran out, she saw that Nick hadn't followed her, so she shouted to the agent next to her, "Open the door, Nick hasn't come out yet."

The agent shook his head and said, "You'll regret doing that."

Jane glanced at the side door that wasn't completely closed and immediately ran inside.

Seeing Jane run off, the agent beside her immediately chased after her, shouting, "Stop! Jane, stop!"

Inside the office, Nick, who hadn't run out, immediately turned around and saw that the doctor from before had completely changed his demeanor, now resembling a villain.

Nick watched as Henry approached, then slammed him against the door and delivered several elbow strikes to his head. He then grabbed Henry's hand and pressed it onto the fingerprint unlock screen.

Beep - Recognizing.

Eddie Hyde, recognition failed.

Henry, pinned against the door, laughed, "Haha, they won't let me out. They'll never Gate of Opening for the Demon."

Henry then grabbed Nick by the back of the head and pulled him, causing Nick's head to slam into the touchscreen and shatter the screen.

Then, with another push, Nick was sent flying and crashed to the ground.

Henry, now transformed into Eddie Hyde, stood in front of Nick with his hands on his hips, looking at the man before him with a hint of mockery.

On the other side.

One of the agents responsible for monitoring Ahmanet's physical data exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, wow, what's going on?"

"Pete, did you just turn off the mercury?"

After saying that, she immediately looked at Pete, who was supposed to be at his workstation, but found that Pete had left and picked up a fire axe.

At this moment, Coulson, accompanied by Yakushi Kabuto, had arrived at the gates of the Prodigium of S.H.I.E.L.D.. in London. The car stopped, and Coulson got out, saying to Yakushi Kabuto, "This is the Prodigium. Let's go see what my supervisor, Henry, has gained from smuggling these things over."

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, glanced up at the building in front of him, and said with a smile, "Hopefully there won't be any trouble."

······

Inside the office, Henry was teasing Nick, laughing and saying, "You're too green."

You need to learn to be wary of people like me.

Nick went up to attack Henry, but after a few punches, he not only failed to inflict any injury on Henry, but was instead restrained by Henry's neck.

"Hahaha, Morton, it's not that I want to kill you, it's Henry."

"I'd like to have more collaborations. How about we work together?"

Nick fought back, but he was no match for Eddie Hyde and was knocked to the ground.

At this moment, Pete, who had picked up the fire axe, went to the location of the power switch, opened the iron gate, and swung the fire axe down on it, instantly sending sparks flying.

The power switch suddenly blew open, sending Kakkō flying. Several instruments in the room exploded and shut down instantly due to voltage issues.

Seeing this, Ahmanet smiled, knowing she was about to escape.

In the other office, Eddie Hyde threw Nick out again, then stood there straightening his tie and said:

"I will give you a chance to cooperate; you become the embodiment of evil, and I, Eddie Hyde, will become your friend."

"Let me think about it."

On the other side, Jane ran in and arrived at the study next to the office, which was separated from the office by only a glass door.

Jane picked up a fire extinguisher and threw it at the glass bed, but it had no effect. S.H.I.E.L.D.. was prepared, and the glass door was made of bulletproof glass.

The arriving agents quickly grabbed Jane from behind and told her to stop causing trouble.

Nick got up from the ground and fought back, but was knocked to the ground again by Eddie Hyde's punch.

Nick, who had just gotten up from the floor, saw the syringe on the desk and immediately turned to grab it, but was pinned down on the desk by the other person.

"Hurry up, kid, consider my suggestion."

"I am the creator of chaos and destruction."

Nick was pinned to the table and fired a shot, but he also managed to grab a syringe, which he then plunged into Henry's chest.

"Ah!"

Henry let out a painful howl, then the Demon markings on his face began to fade, and Henry, regaining his senses, said:

"Well done, Mr. Morton, excellent work."

Nick, however, was annoyed. Having just been beaten up, he seized the opportunity to grab Henry and throw him away.

At this moment, Ahmanet, who was being held captive, immediately vomited because the machine had stopped operating, and a large amount of mercury came out of her mouth and spilled all over the floor.

At this time, the power facilities of the Prodigium were completely destroyed, the backup power had not yet been activated, all the closed electronic doors were no longer working, and Jane ran in after knocking out the agent.

Jane said to Nick, "Hurry, we need to destroy the Gem on the dagger."

"What?"

Jane explained, "Without Gem, there are no rituals, no curses."

"Real?"

"Yes, I know where it is."

Nick immediately followed Jane and ran outside. At this time, the Prodigium was in complete chaos due to the sudden change and the fire that had already broken out.

Coulson had just entered the building, before even reaching the interior, when he suddenly heard an alarm. As he entered the underground area, the corridor lights instantly went out.

Sensing something was wrong, Coulson immediately pulled out a pistol, held it in his hand, and turned to the team of special agents behind him, saying, "All on alert."

He then looked at Yakushi Kabuto beside him and said, "You were right, trouble has arisen."

Yakushi Kabuto an awkward laugh, then immediately pulled out a Kunai from his Ninja Tool Pouch and held it in his hand.

Coulson then led them slowly toward the interior of the Prodigium.

On the other side.

Nick and Jane ran out and climbed the stairs to the second floor. Nick looked at Ahmanet, who was still tied up, and immediately felt pity for her.

Ahmanet's gaze towards Nick changed, as if she were waiting for him to rescue her.

At this moment, Jane pushed Nick and continued running forward. Nick, being pushed along, stopped paying attention to Ahmanet.

Seeing Nick leave, Ahmanet roared angrily, as if her man had run off with someone else, and then with a burst of strength, she broke free of the chains binding her.

Then, with Ahmanet's strenuous efforts, all the chains around her and on her back were torn off.
