Chapter 219 Trap (1/2)
New York City, suburban Evergreen Court Home for Adults.
A figure with shaggy hair appears in front of a nursing home.
"Sorry, ma'am, how can I help you?"
The social worker at the door noticed Calypso standing in front of the nursing home and immediately stepped forward to ask.
"I really need your help."
Looking at the social worker in front of him, Calypso smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to wiggle his fingers in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the social worker's sober eyes suddenly became confused, and the expression on his face became a little dazed.
…
"Found it, Calypso Erzili."
"According to information from Wikipedia, there was a record of Calypso Erzili at the end of the 19th century. According to legend, she was a voodoo witch who mastered various evil voodoo spells. Calypso · Erzili became the ruler of the Voodoo Church in Louisiana for a period of time, and claimed more than once that she was the reincarnation of the Voodoo Queen Marie-Lavieux, and that she had the power of immortality..."
There are many records about Calypso Erzili on Wikipedia, the most famous of which is her powerful voodoo spell. It is said that Calypso Erzili once used voodoo to kill an entire village of people. The reason It's because they have no respect for voodoo.
Of course, Calypso Erzili's ending was also very tragic. It is said that she was burned alive by the people at the time beside the Shadow Lake.
But the rumors about Calypso Erzili did not disappear because of this. It is said that even after her death, some people still saw her figure.
There are many rumors about Calypso Erzili on the Internet.
As an important figure in the history of American voodoo, Calypso Erzili is obviously very attractive. The image of witches in many Hollywood movies is based on her. In addition, she is the shadow lake where opponents are burned to death. More than a hundred people visit the site every year, leaving coins, prayer beads, flowers, rum or candles to pray for the Voodoo Queen's help.
"Pray for help from the Voodoo Queen?"
"What on earth are these guys thinking?"
Banner couldn't understand what these tourists were thinking.
Judging from the records on Wikipedia, Calypso Erzili is obviously not a positive existence.
"Devils are also evil entities, but they summon not a few people every year."
Doctor Strange has nothing to explain for this. In fact, strictly speaking, the "Solomon's Little Key" he uses is essentially using the power of the devil.
Opening an ancient magic book, Doctor Strange wiped off the dust and flipped it to the number of pages he needed.
In modern society, most magic is classified as feudal superstition. The magic book in Doctor Strange's hand was obtained from an old bookstore with a lot of effort.
As a magician who has become a monk on the way, he has not received any orthodox magic training. Many uses of magic are accomplished by relying on talent and cost.
Comparing the contents recorded in magic books, Doctor Strange quickly found the magic suitable for the situation at hand - the Eye of Mercury.
Mercury is one of the twelve main gods of Rome and the messenger of the gods. He is the god of intelligence and commerce.
Comparing the magic spells in magic books, Stephen drew the magic circle of the Eye of Mercury in the basement, and put a staff wrapped with two snakes into it. The snake staff is the symbol of Mercury as the messenger of God, and also represents Got the baton.
Along with the chanting of the spell, a clear mark of the magic eye appeared on the surface of the snake cane in the center of the magic circle. He stretched out his hand to hold the magic cane with the Eye of Mercury and pointed his eyes at himself. The next moment, in front of Dr. Strange's eyes was a magic eye mark. A blurry scene immediately appeared in his field of vision,
This is the scene seen by Mercury's Eyes. Through the divination of Calypso Erzili in the video, he finally found the hidden location of the other party.
The psychic reaction of the dried human head made Dr. Strange feel a little uneasy in his heart, which is why he frequently used magic to find Calypso Erzili.
"Found it."
Based on the location seen by Mercury's Eye, Doctor Strange reached into the basement and opened a portal through there.
This is a gloomy swamp forest. The twisted and growing trees make everything around it look very scary, which is also consistent with Calypso Erzili's identity as a voodoo witch.
By looking into the Eye of Mercury, Doctor Strange saw a figure with fluffy hair from the back deep in the swamp, which was basically consistent with the image seen in Floyd's mouth and in the video.
Seeing this, Doctor Strange no longer hesitated and walked through the portal.
"Wait a minute, Stephen."
Seeing Doctor Strange leading the way, Carter quickly grabbed his shield and chased after him.
In the basement, Banner looked at the two people who disappeared in the blink of an eye, then turned to look at the magic circle and the crow in the birdcage, and then followed them while swallowing his saliva.
"Almost forgot?!"
Just when Banner was about to disappear on the other side of the portal, an arm suddenly stretched out from the basement and grabbed the dried human head on the table.
…
Dumb——dumb——
In the woods of the gloomy swamp, the crow spread its wings and cried shrilly, tilting its head and watching Doctor Strange and his group walking through the woods with its dark eyes.
"Do you feel that it's a bit cold here?"
Holding the dried head in one hand, Banner rubbed his arm and couldn't help asking the two people in front of him.
"It's just your illusion."
Holding the snake cane, adjusting the direction of movement by looking at the Eye of Mercury, Doctor Strange said without turning his head when he heard Banner's voice from behind.
"I don't feel anything."
Holding the shield and scanning everything around with vigilant eyes, Carter smiled and shook his head.
Hearing this, Banner looked up at Carter's strong muscles.
With Captain America's strong physique, the temperature change can't affect Carter's body at all.
"So, I'm the only ordinary person in the whole team?"
As he thought, Banner stumbled and almost tripped over the roots in the woods.
"Be careful!"
Fortunately, Carter in front of him was quick-witted and reached out to support Banner the moment he fell.
"Thank you."
Controlling his body, Banner thanked Carter.
The latter shook his head, but he was still a little confused. He didn't understand why Doctor Strange chose Banner as his teammate. At least since she woke up, she has always behaved like an ordinary person, and even her thin body is sometimes slightly worse than ordinary people.
It's not that Carter looks down on Banner, but he is puzzled about the reason why he is with Doctor Strange.
Although she was full of doubts about this, Carter didn't show too much on the surface. After supporting Banner's body, she patted his arm and reminded him.
"Be sure to be careful of what you are under your feet. The forest is more dangerous than it looks on the surface. I once passed through the forest during an operation. At that time, a soldier in the team was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake in the thigh. Although he finally saved his life, he also paid a thigh for it."
Carter's description made Banner's uneasiness even stronger.
He rubbed his aching arm and looked around nervously.
"We're here."
Just as Carter and Banner were talking, Doctor Strange, who had been searching in front of him through the Eye of Mercury, stopped and looked at the hut deep in the swamp and reminded the two people behind him.
"Be careful, no matter what happens next, don't be careless. Our opponent this time is the famous voodoo queen in the history of voodoo."
As he spoke, Doctor Strange put away the snake staff in his hand, and then stretched out his hand and muttered a rusty axe in his hand.
The Axe of Angarumus, this is the magic axe that Doctor Strange found in a witch cave. It is said that this is an axe handed down in the hunting movement of the last century. It has killed hundreds of witches. The axe blade of the magic axe is cast with powerful magic, which can break most of the magic defense.
Holding the Axe of Angarumus in one hand, Doctor Strange turned his head and nodded to Carter behind him.
The latter also grasped the shield and came to Doctor Strange, while Banner grabbed the dried head in his hand and stood at the end of the team.
In this way, the three of them walked towards the cabin in the middle of the swamp.
This cabin seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. There were all kinds of weeds and shrubs growing around the cabin. At the same time, Doctor Strange also vaguely saw traces of animal bones next to the cabin. Obviously, this cabin may have been used as a hunter's cabin before.
"...Three, two, one!"
In front of the cabin, Carter, who was holding Captain America's body, took a deep breath and held the shield tightly in his hand with his strong arms.
She stretched out her hand to gesture a number to the two people behind her, and then as the countdown ended, she grabbed the shield without hesitation and slammed into the old door of the cabin.
The old wooden door was instantly shattered by Carter's powerful force, and Doctor Strange behind him followed her footsteps without hesitation and rushed into the wooden house. Looking at Calypso Erzli in the wooden house, Doctor Strange swung the Axe of Angarumus in his hand and chopped the witch in front of him with the power of magic.
Facing the appearance of Carter and Doctor Strange's attack, Calypso Erzli in the wooden house did not seem to have any reaction.
Crack--
With the Axe of Angarumus hitting the body, the touch from the other end of the axe confirmed that the expression on Doctor Strange's face changed suddenly.
"Oops!"
As the thought flashed through his mind, a large number of darts flew towards the two around the wooden house.
"What happened?"
Standing at the door of the wooden house, Banner, who was a step behind, looked at these sharp darts and shouted with a sudden expression on his face.
"Be careful!"
Dang, dang, dang, dang!
Amid Banner's exclamation, Carter, who was beside Doctor Strange, acted decisively, grabbed the shield in his hand and blocked Stephen without hesitation.
The sharp darts fell on the shield with a harsh sound. With Captain America's superhuman physical fitness, Carter blocked most of the darts fired from the wooden house.
"What's going on?"
Carter took a long breath, shielded his body with a shield, and asked Doctor Strange behind him.
"It seems that this should be a trap, and Calypso Erzley herself should be somewhere else."
Putting away the Angarumus Axe that had chopped on 'Calypso Erzley', Doctor Strange answered expressionlessly as he looked at the other party's head that rolled to the floor of the wooden house and the voodoo doll made of hair at the connection part of the body.
Calypso Erzley used voodoo to deceive Doctor Strange and led them to this swamp.
Whoosh, whoosh——
Just as Doctor Strange's voice fell, a rapid sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from behind Banner.
"Be careful, Banner!"
Seeing the flying black shadow, Carter shouted and ran towards Banner.
However, before she could run a few steps, sharp spikes suddenly emerged from under the wooden house, forcing Carter to stop and avoid.
While Carter was dodging, the dart had already pierced Banner's body.
Feeling the severe pain from behind, Banner stumbled in front of the cabin. He tried to turn his head but only saw a vague black shadow flashing in the dense woods behind him.
"Hunting target one."
Leaping over the woods like a flexible animal, Kraven looked at Banner's fallen body and said silently in his heart.
As a hunter, Kraven is good at designing traps and baits to weaken the strength of prey before fighting. The wooden house in the swamp in front of him is one of the traps Kraven arranged.
Through communication with Calypso Erzli, he already knew the existence of Stephen and others, and arranged the traps at the first time.
Using the voodoo doll obtained from Calypso Erzli, Kraven successfully lured Doctor Strange and others into the swamp forest, a battlefield that is advantageous for hunters. At the same time, he also used the abandoned residence of the hunter's cabin to attract the attention of Doctor Strange and others, and successfully eliminated one of them.
Although, judging from the performance just now, the prey shot by the dart is obviously the laggard among the three.
However, for Kraven, as long as it is the prey defined by him, there is no possibility of letting go.
Above the woods, Kraven slightly adjusted his breathing, and at the same time pulled out a feather arrow covered with poison from the quiver behind him, adjusted the angle and aimed at the direction where Banner fell.
For him, Banner's "dead" body is also a part of hunting, as bait to lure other prey to appear.
