Chapter 1886 Underground (please vote!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)
Black Manta is not a good person to begin with. In addition to being loyal to his so-called family, this guy is a born criminal! When he was very young, he was destined to take over the family business, because Black Manta started killing people at a very young age.
That was when he was in elementary school. Their family lived in an area where most people were white, so he naturally became a minority in the school. In fact, for children, black and white are all nonsense. Most of them cannot understand this kind of discrimination. But once an alien appears in a group, the alien will inevitably be excluded.
This is equivalent to the evil of human nature!
In "The Great Gatsby", there is this sentence at the beginning: Whenever you want to criticize others, remember that not everyone in this world has the advantages you have.
However, the reality is that we often look at those people or things that do not meet the public standards in a strange way. Not only do we belittle and criticize in our hearts, but we also criticize things that the public does not understand in terms of language or behavior. . Many times, what is considered "abnormal" and "should not be" in the eyes of most people is by default considered to be wrong, not glamorous, and should not be in the sun. When more and more people stand on the side of the so-called "justice" and "correctness", even things that are morally hypocritical and wrong are beautified and allowed.
Sometimes, we unknowingly join in a "showdown" that seems "just", because Gustave Le Pen has already stated in "The Crowd": groups are blind and extreme. People are unwilling to understand "others". As a minority, "others" are often not accepted by society. However, in such "hunting", some people have become victims of unwarranted prejudice.
Black Manta is such an outlier. In the entire class, let alone black people, he is the only one from other ethnic groups, and he is a conspicuous mess! He became the biggest alien, and he was bound to be ostracized! This is almost inevitable. Rejecting the alien may itself be a deeply rooted instinct in our genes.
Many people say that children are the kindest, but this is actually not true. Children actually have no distinction between good and evil... In fact, for the entire human group, good and evil themselves are false propositions!
We often think that a person is the most innocent and lovely when he is a child. There is only goodness and no evil in their eyes. Therefore, we deduce that a person is most pure and flawless when he is born. In psychoanalytic therapy, Freud divided our hearts into the id and the superego. The id refers to the most primitive and animal self, while the superego refers to higher moral standards. You can use social rules to restrain yourself, and the self is constantly balancing the id and superego to keep yourself in a comfortable state.
There is no doubt that when a person is born, he only has an id and no ego or superego. Because man is an animal. We are born. It will follow the animal's instinct and produce corresponding behaviors. For example, when a person is young. When hungry, it cries constantly to find the source of food, which is its mother. And when we first learned to crawl and walk. When we are thirsty, we look for water. When it happens to us that water is getting trapped in a container, we even dump it out. Or break it directly to obtain this part of the water source. We do not consider whether breaking this one container will cause discomfort to the parents. How much is this item worth? Is it right or wrong for me to do this? Because for me, the behaviors that allow me to survive are all instinctive and natural.
Our current society views animal instincts as the enemy. What makes us human is the sophisticated structure of our brains, which enables us to think, learn, and empathize with others. Thus we can control our animal instincts.
Therefore, in the eyes of children, there is no good or evil at all. Even their rejection of Black Manta is not based on some independent choice or what Black Manta has done, but simply because they are obviously different from themselves. It’s just something that repels something.
At this time, people need to guide and educate them.
But Black Manta's teachers obviously failed in their duties. They rejected Black Manta more than the children.
So the teacher died. When Black Manta complained to his teacher, the teacher not only failed to uphold justice for him, but also spoke evil words. So the ten-year-old Black Manta killed his teacher. Then he calmly called his father and uncles to deal with the scene.
He was very calm throughout the whole process, which made Black Manta's father believe that his child would have a future... Well, his father thought this was a sign of bloodiness and didn't care if his son killed someone. So one can easily imagine what kind of humanity this person has.
Now, after completely abandoning humanity, Black Manta is just a monster named Black Manta.
He doesn't care about Nick Fury's intelligence network. He just wants to know what he wants to know. As for what Nick Fury pays and sacrifices, he doesn't care at all. When you repair something, do you care about the feel of the repair tools?
This is probably what Black Manta is thinking.
"Continue, I want to know more detailed information!!" Black Manta no longer paid attention to Nick Fury, but quietly hid back in the darkness: "In addition, I need more sacrifices! Give them to me immediately Go do it!”
Nick Fury was lying on the ground watching Black Manta hide in the darkness, and his whole body felt bad.
Black Manta is already dead. Although the Dark Trident has various magical functions, it can only do one thing...that is, reverse life and death!
The authority of the God of Death is very powerful, but at the same time, the God of Death also needs to abide by an iron law, that is, death is under their control, but life is not under their control. No civilization's god of death can reverse life and death. (As far as I know, most mythological gods of death cannot reverse life and death)
The Dark Trident is even less capable. It is just an artifact given by Hades, the God of Death, to Triton, the son of Poseidon. It is not even an artifact of the God of Death, and it is even less likely to have the authority of the God of Death, so it is even more impossible to reverse life and death.
After Black Manta was cut in half by Kai, he was essentially dead.
The reason why he can still move is that the Dark Trident needs him. His identity remains that of the deceased.
Unlike ordinary corpses controlled by the Dark Trident, one thing about him is very special, that is, he still has the ability to think independently and is not just a simple puppet.
But this also comes at a price. He is equivalent to maintaining part of the characteristics of a living person, so the Dark Trident must spend its power to maintain this part. Where does the price come from?
More death of course!
So it needs sacrifices.
Sacrifices were needed every day, and more and more were needed. Black Manta's body has decayed a lot since the beginning.
Black Manta could feel that he was sliding into an abyss of despair, real death, ignorance and nothingness. In order to maintain his 'self', Black Manta must constantly sacrifice.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the Dark Trident has not abandoned him yet. It is also a good thing for the Dark Trident to be able to continue to receive sacrifices. Otherwise, Black Manta would have been abandoned by the Dark Trident and the ancient king residing in it!
Why did Nick Fury come to New York?
It's not because of the darkness under the lamp... In fact, the most dangerous place is the safest, which is pure nonsense. If they really want to hide, there are plenty of places to hide. The world is so big, there is no need to stick to New York. The real reason is...it's easier to get things done in New York.
That’s right, Nick Fury’s intelligence network in New York is still operating!
New York is the center of the world. It's impossible for Nick Fury not to value this. So even though his power has been riddled with attacks, he still has a hidden agenda in New York!
It was first when SHIELD was kicked out of New York. In order to prevent such an important location in New York from falling out of his control, Nick Fury began to weave his own intelligence network here. Unexpectedly, it actually worked. .
But even so, Nick Fury is still under a lot of pressure.
There's no way, Black Manta's consumption of human sacrifices is too great. Although New York has a very large floating population, and in such a big city with a population of tens of millions, people disappear every day, but if he continues like this, sooner or later the secret will be revealed!
But what can Nick Fury do?
He must follow orders!
The only consolation is that Black Manta isn't smart. If it were Nick Fury, he would stay away from New York, not stay. But that's just as well, if Black Manta rolls over, he's free. He can't disobey Black Manta, but he can't scheme against him!
As for how many people would be killed in the process, Nick Fury never cared.
…
Keith has been unhappy lately!
If nothing else, it's because her small business has gone bad recently.
Don't underestimate New York's underground city... She and many people living underground in New York call the complex underground tunnels and sewer pipes in New York an underground city. In fact, this shabby place really has such a meaning.
No one knows how many pipelines and underground spaces there are under New York.
Some of them can even be traced back to the founding of New York. Those ancient tunnels or sewers have not seen sunlight for many, many years. No one knows what is inside.
There's even an adventure activity in New York, which is exploring underground. It's a bit like an underground public fundraising expedition in Paris, attracting a lot of guys who are not afraid of death. Every year, many people disappear in the intertwined underground passages.
As for what happened to them, no one knows. Maybe he got lost and ended up starving to death.
Maybe it was given by the residents of the underground city... This is normal. The residents living in the underground space are not good and law-abiding gentlemen. They have their own set of survival rules here. Many people who come down to explore must find the local People should be guides, otherwise it would be hard to imagine what they would encounter down there.
In addition, some were poisoned to death. After all, there are no ventilation facilities down here, and even many 'locals' would accidentally inhale biogas or carbon dioxide or other messy waste gases, resulting in being poisoned to death.
Anyway, it's dangerous down there.
But at the same time, this is a huge treasure house. It's really hard to imagine what's in those sewers.
In the 1930s, there was a world-famous urban legend "the crocodile in the sewer": a boy in the United States disposed of his pet crocodile in the toilet. Years later, he happened to pass by a sewer and was torn apart by the grown crocodile. an arm. But the fact is... there might really be something like this in the sewers.
In addition to crocodiles, there are also pythons, goldfish, hamsters, foxes, raccoons, in short, there is everything down there!
After all, sewers are actually quite suitable for many organisms to survive. For example, the temperature in sewers is constant... The temperature down there is very constant, and many tropical organisms can live comfortably in them.
There is no shortage of food in sewers, and there are many rats, cockroaches and insects. In addition, some messy things will be flushed into the sewers, resulting in the biodiversity of sewers far exceeding ordinary people's imagination.
Of course, in addition to these messy things, there are real treasures!
You can never guess what people will flush into the sewers. You can find gold watches, US dollars, coins, human corpses in the garbage in the sewers... Yes, human corpses are also valuable. The demand for human skeleton specimens in the United States alone is very large!
Even in India, this thing has formed an industrial chain, which specializes in reselling human skeleton specimens to European and American countries!
The media has disclosed this stuff. On some Indian websites, human hand bones are priced at $200, spine bones are $400, skulls are at least $1,000, and a complete human bone is at least $2,700. The good ones can even reach tens of thousands of dollars. This is the price at the source of India!
It is even more expensive in the United States!
So, when seeing a corpse in the sewer, the "locals" will not scream like those people on the ground, but will drag the corpse away very calmly and sell it to the corpse collector.
In addition to these, there are many messy things that can be sold for money! And these have formed an industrial chain!
Since there is a market, there will naturally be consumption.
Keith specializes in providing some "technological products" to acquaintances, such as nail guns that do not require gunpowder to ignite, because gunpowder is a bit too dangerous in the dungeon. After all, no one knows whether there is methane in your place. If there is, once you shoot, you and your enemy will be finished together. So the dungeon has its own favorite weapons, and this kind of nail gun that does not require gunpowder to ignite is very popular.
Another example is various gas detectors and gas masks, which are hard currency! After all, if you want to pick up garbage, you must go to some dangerous places. Without these two things, going rashly is almost like gambling with your life.
There are also various electrical appliances, and things like TV signal crackers.
In short, the needs are diverse, and Keith just uses the collected waste components to rub various things.
The profit is not bad. After all, this is a real technical job. Ordinary people will not serve the rats in the underground city.
After losing Andrea (Liz's father, the arms dealer who resells alien weapons), Keith can only rely on the residents of the underground city to make a living.
But recently, the atmosphere in the underground city is a bit wrong.
Someone is missing... This is normal. In this place, it's really not uncommon for people to die.
But many sensitive people feel that the atmosphere is wrong.
Don't underestimate these people who live in the dark underground. They may not have any powerful skills, but their perception of danger is the same as that of rats in the sewer!
Very sensitive.
