Lin Xu turned his gaze away from the riverbed.

He saw a skeleton, buried and sealed more than 200 meters underground at the bottom of the river, and the sealing power, as well as the energy attached to the skeleton, all came from the Hell Dimension.

The fish in this river, influenced by the unintentional release of energy, refuse to eat even carefully prepared bait, and only eat live prey.

"Uncle, do you know how many years this has been going on?"

"Who remembers this stuff? It's only been a few decades."

Don't you eat fish?

"Of course we eat! But most people around here eat seafood."

"Has anything strange happened here before this?"

"That's how it is, what could possibly happen..." As he spoke, the old man suddenly fell silent, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"I'm going home for dinner now..."

"Okay, Uncle, take care!"

Watching the old man's departing figure, Lin Xu understood. It seemed that something significant had indeed happened here before, something that would still strike fear into people's hearts decades later.

I just don't know if it's related to the body at the bottom of the river.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu picked up his phone.

"F.R.I.D.A.Y., F.R.I.D.A.Y. ~"

I'm here~

"Please help me find information about the biggest disaster in the Chamberlain, Bangor, Maine in the last hundred years."

"Yes, sir. After comparison, the most recent disaster in Chamberlain was the Chamberlain High School fire in 1976, which resulted in 238 deaths. On the same day, the arsonist returned home and killed his mother, but was killed by her in retaliation, and both perished together."

Listening to F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s story, Lin Xu immediately imagined a whole drama unfolding in his mind.

A father in prison, an alcoholic mother, bullying from classmates—finally, she couldn't take it anymore and completely snapped.

"Sir, would you like me to retrieve all the information on Carrie White?"

"Wait a minute, who did you say?"

Carrie White.

Lin Xu suddenly turned around and looked at the bottom of the river. He had said that the name Chamberlain sounded familiar, but he hadn't thought of it this way at first.

Moreover, bullying in middle schools is a common occurrence all over the world.

It wasn't until the name Carrie appeared that he finally remembered—it was a witch!

Goodness, does this world also steal copyrights?

Carrie, a girl with special abilities, has long been treated as a prisoner by her religiously religious mother.

During middle school, he was bullied by his classmates. After being doused in blood at a dance, he finally snapped and blew the entire dance floor clean.

Back home, Carrie's mother believed that Carrie's existence was blasphemous to God and wanted to kill her, so the two of them died together.

Lin Xu was young when he watched this movie in his previous life, and afterwards he was a little afraid that some of his classmates might treat him the same way.

In reality, back then, in a rural primary school, the biggest form of bullying was... I would absolutely not share my spicy snacks with you...

"Sir, is there anything else we need...?"

"Alright, that's all for now. Kneel down and leave."

Putting his phone in his pocket, Lin Xu began to ponder. If viewed in isolation, this incident was simply a girl with superpowers rebelling.

But this is Marvel, and he also sensed the presence of Hell Dimension, so things are definitely not as simple as they seem on the surface.

If you say it has nothing to do with Hell, not even Hulk would believe it, let alone Lin Xu.

Moreover, according to his deduction, Hell's plan is definitely in the future; they are waiting for the Ancient One to retire.

In response, Lin Xu said, "You're dreaming. I'll expose you right now."

Another underground Mystic Portal opened, and in an artistically designed cross-section of the rock strata, a pale skeleton appeared before Lin Xu.

"According to Article 1 of the Kamar-Taj Dimensional Immigration Law, you are under arrest, and you have the right to remain silent, but every word you utter will be recorded in the Kamar-Taj Library."

The skeleton remained silent in response...

"Very good!"

"Not good at all~"

Just then, the Hell power that sealed Carrie's remains transformed into a humanoid phantom, but it also had a pair of goat horns on its head that were extremely disproportionate to its body.

"Where do you intend to take my daughter's body?"

Uh... who are you?

"Hmph, I, King Marduk, may also call me... Satan!" (from Marvel Spotlight)

"Ha ha!"

Marduk was completely baffled by Lin Xu's sudden outburst.

"Hey kid, what are you laughing at?"

"Marduk, is that it? Beelzebub and Mephisto know that you call yourself Satan?"

Upon hearing this, Marduk frowned. At first, he thought Lin Xu was just a human mage passing by and was trying to scare him away by using the name of Satan.

As for taking action on Earth, he wouldn't even dare to think about it; that Ancient One, is still alive...

Marduk scrutinized Lin Xu closely, not believing that ordinary mages could distinguish the lords of Hell.

Then he saw... the Eye of Agamotto!

"Fuck, Ancient One! The Old Coin is at it again."

After just one glance, Marduk dared not look again, immediately dispersing his illusory form as if it had never existed. As for his daughter, he didn't care anymore...

Seeing this, Lin Xu fell silent.

Since his debut, he's seen far too many dimensional lords and gods, but this one is the most cowardly of them all...

Old Deng, oh Old Deng, what exactly did you do to him?

As the sealing power dissipated, Carrie's skeleton suddenly began to crack and move.

She broke free from the layers of rock that buried her and emerged from the other side of the Mystic Portal.

Just as Lin Xu thought she was about to attack, he collapsed to the ground, all his bones shattering into a row...

"Hey? Are you trying to scam me?!"

Avengers Compound.

Tony is showing Barton his "art" pieces.

"I've added neutrinos to the arrowheads of this row of round-nosed arrows. Don't worry, the yield isn't high, only about 2 tons. The triggering device is at the fletching, and the triggering time is 12 seconds. You can handle that yourself; I trust you!"

Hawkeye:???

"These spiral-headed arrows are armor-piercing arrows; the arrowheads are made of Vibranium..."

Hawkeye:...

"Oh, and this too."

Tony picked up three gold and red arrows, his expression extremely serious.

"Remember the Battle of New York? Your arrow got caught by Loki and exploded. The strategy was good, but the power was lacking."

"These three arrows are also equipped with neutrinos, and I've added something to the arrow shafts. When someone grabs the arrow shaft, the nano- Vibranium will quickly envelop the enemy's hand, and even if they have a sense of danger, they absolutely cannot break free within seconds!"

After staring in disbelief for a moment, Hawkeye finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure this thing isn't meant for your kid? Who else has a sense of danger besides him?!"
