Chapter 1949 Beehive (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!! Please Recommend!!!)
Ward and Mei...were a bad fate. This incident dates back to a long time ago, when Mei left the front line due to psychological problems and concentrated on her clerical job. Nick Fury has always felt sorry for this matter, so he asked Phil Coulson to get May to the Avengers team when the Avengers team was established. On the surface, she was a civilian responsible for communication, but in fact Nick Fury Rui secretly gave her an order to patiently monitor everyone in the team.
Mei felt that she should be qualified for this job. After all, although she had psychological problems and could not go to the front line in person, at least she could still do this, so she agreed.
Ward was also recruited into the team by Phil at that time. Ward's adoptive father, Garrett, had a good relationship with Phil. After all, Garrett was a veteran agent with much more seniority than Phil, and Ward was famous. Rising star, so he successfully entered the team.
But Ward's behavior is different from that of ordinary agents. He walks alone. He rarely partners with others and always works alone.
Phil felt that this style would have an impact on his future, so he asked May to teach him.
Speaking of Phil, everyone at SHIELD feels pity for this good old guy. Phil is a good guy in person, but the key is that he is not only a good guy, but his business is also very good. He is not the kind of nothing. Holy mother bitch, as long as there are no problems for this kind of person, the future will be good.
A person's popularity is still very useful in the workplace. The key is that others have excellent professional abilities, which is very powerful.
Unfortunately, I was on the wrong team and did the wrong thing.
Originally, Phil had been implicated because of Nick Fury's affairs. At that time, no one in SHIELD knew that Phil was Nick Fury's biggest supporter. When he was pulled for review, Phil didn't believe Nick at all. · Fury is a Hydra, and others will not make nonsense even if they don't put aside the relationship, but Phil was very excited and even quarreled with the reviewers. No one expected that such a good old man could have such a violent side.
In the end, it was the newly appointed Director Hill who worked hard to save Phil, but unexpectedly, Phil ended up falling for Nick Fury.
Phil is a good person and a good person, and he can do ideological work. If he is placed in a red country, he will definitely be a good candidate to be a political commissar. It was he who removed Mei's ideological burden, and in the end the two of them even had a bit of ambiguity.
But Ward stepped in and had a relationship with May.
In short, the two of them failed.
But later, the matter between Garrett and Alexander became violent, and both of their hardcore players were scrutinized and hunted. After all, those could only be Hydra, and Ward had also defected, which May was originally hunting for.
But in the end... Mei actually showed mercy and let Ward run away.
"Hello... Mei!"
Ward's voice broke the ice.
Mei looked at Ward with disbelief. When Ward escaped, he was shot in the face by Mei. Half of his face was destroyed. He should have been disfigured. But now it seems that not only the wound is gone, but even his face is missing. No trace left, as if there was no injury.
May looked at Ward, stared for a moment, and shouted: "No! You are not Ward! Who the hell are you?!"
Ward touched his face and said with a wry smile: "I am indeed Ward, dear Mei, it's absolutely true."
"No...you're not him!"
Ward stopped laughing now.
He is indeed not Ward, but it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that he got what he wanted.
"Nick Fury..." Ward looked at the tied Nick Fury with a smile again: "I finally found you."
Mei barely hesitated, raised her gun and shot!
Ward just stood there, not moving at all.
Then the bullet penetrated his body without any hindrance, but the next second, the wounds on his body began to heal.
It wasn't the kind of self-healing like growing flesh, but it just recovered slowly, without a drop of blood in the whole process!
"What kind of monster are you?!!!"
Instead, Nick Fury raised his head and looked at Ward: "I didn't expect the legend to be true. You really exist - the Hive!"
Ward was stunned, smiled and shook his head: "As expected of you, Nick Fury. You even know this."
May looked confused and looked at Nick Fury: "What is he?"
"Mutant, a legendary mutant."
Beehive, an ancient legend. A long time ago on the American continent, there was a young Mayan named Alveus, who was originally just a warrior from a defeated tribe. In those days, according to Mayan tradition, such defeated prisoners of war would be sacrificed by hostile tribes.
Human sacrifice rituals were a method used by the Mayans to worship their gods. In order to thank the gods for their contributions to mankind, and to fill the greedy appetites of the demons to delay the end of the world, the Mayans held grand ceremonies on a series of special days to offer sacrifices to various gods. The precious offering is human blood.
The Maya not only placed the heads of captives on the altar, but the king and nobles also had to painfully bleed from sensitive parts of their tongues as sacrifices, or cripple their limbs, endure torture, and sacrifice themselves. There were many ways to sacrifice, the most common of which was to cut open the chest and dig out the heart. The sacrificed person was first painted blue, and wore a pointed headdress on his head, and then died in the square in front of the temple or on the top of the pyramid. He was laid on his back with the raised altar under his body, so that his chest and abdomen bulged and his head and limbs drooped, so as to facilitate the "surgery" of opening the chest. Four priests grabbed his limbs and tried to straighten him. The "executioner" was the protagonist of the ritual. He accurately cut the victim's ribs, reached into the wound, grabbed the beating heart and put it on a plate, and handed it to the high priest who presided over the ceremony.
In addition to bloody sacrifices, the Maya also vented their desire for blood in other ways. For example: brutally slaughtering prisoners of war. The Bonampak murals faithfully record this bloody scene. The murals were all created in a relatively simple three-hall temple, and the murals in the three halls echo each other: the left hall shows the preparations for the ceremony, with a relaxed and expectant mood; the middle hall is a fierce scene of conquering the enemy and slaughtering prisoners of war, emphasizing the life theme of life and death, joys and sorrows; the right hall shows the completion of the celebration, and it is solemn and grand in the warm and cheerful atmosphere.
This temple is therefore named "Painting Temple". The murals in the middle hall are particularly shocking. The bottom row of the picture is the natives holding spears and various ethnic emblems and totems to watch and celebrate this bloody trial, and the middle row is the prisoners who are about to be executed. On the top steps of the mural, the king is magnificent and domineering, holding a spear in his right hand, wearing a feather crown and tiger skin armor, looking extremely majestic; opposite him, four nobles stand in a row on the left, wearing various strange animal helmets with tribal totems, tiger skin robes and clothes embroidered with hieroglyphics, and jade pendants, jade ornaments, and feather crafts all over their bodies.
The prisoners waiting to be executed at the bottom of the steps are naked and kneeling in front of the king crying for mercy. There is a chopped-off head at their feet, and another prisoner has collapsed and fainted on the steps. The pain and despair of the prisoners and the arrogance of the princes form a sharp contrast. The modeling is precise and vivid, touching, and shows the profound skills of Mayan realistic art.
The saying that blood can give gods strong vitality is really self-deception. Isn't it clear who wants to see blood? In the golden age of the classical period when the Maya people developed peacefully, there was no external threat, so there was no need for bravery and martial arts. The frequent wars after the 10th century prompted them to feel the need for "bloodthirstiness" and made them have to use the baptism of blood and fire to ensure the competitive vitality of the nation's survival and development.
Blood has become their cultural incentive mechanism! It is not that their gods and idols need blood to enhance their abilities, but that they themselves need to witness and participate in bloody events frequently. Culture is a metaphorical symbolic mechanism, and the sacrificial ritual activities as culture have a subtle educational function. In addition to the implicit meaning of teaching people to obey, respect, and identify, the activities of killing people to offer sacrifices to gods mainly teach people to dare to fight and dare to die, and even symbolically let people vent their desire to kill and obtain alternative satisfaction.
The so-called saying that blood can give gods a strong vitality is really self-deception. Isn't it clear who wants to see blood? In the golden age of the classical period when the Maya people developed peacefully, there was no external threat, so there was no need for bravery and martial arts. Frequent wars after the 10th century prompted them to feel the need for "bloodthirstiness" and to use the baptism of blood and fire to ensure the competitive vitality of the nation's survival and development.
The Aztecs, who were greatly influenced by Mayan culture, had a wonderful example. They even made special agreements with neighboring tribes to regularly resume wars, not for anything else, but to capture captives for human sacrifice. This is really a child's play! The Mayan "child's play" was more formalized. They built many "basketball courts" and used the victory or defeat of the game to determine the objects of human sacrifice. Everything was for the sake of the vitality of the nation. Therefore, blood became the theme word; red became the main color.
There are two sources of sacrifices for sacrifice, one is prisoners of war, and the other is natives, mostly men. In their culture, death in battle and death as a sacrifice are both noble deaths, and both can ascend to heaven, so once someone is chosen as a sacrifice, it is a kind of honor for the individual and the family. According to astrology, the priests determined which day and time the children born were suitable for sacrifice, so the fate of the sacrificed victims was determined from birth. After the child was chosen, he would leave his parents and be sent to another family to be raised until the day of sacrifice. For such a boy, the real and complete meaning of his existence was to die in the temple.
Alveus was such an unlucky guy, but at the moment his chest was cut open, he awakened his superpowers. The mutation turned him into a cell parasite, which survived permanently by occupying other people's bodies, and also gained their memories in the process, and he could manifest a head with tentacles. The hive can release parasites to devour humans as nourishment, or use parasitism to influence other people and dominate their will to control them.
In his time, he was like a god, feared by everyone.
But because of his cruelty, all Mayans began to fear him, so they united and exiled him.
Maya civilization, Aztec civilization, etc., are all extremely mysterious to modern people, not to mention that in the distant past, perhaps it was magic or technology, in short, the Hive was exiled to a mysterious space that no one knew. But because he was worshipped as a god, he still has his worshippers. His worshippers established a secret society with the purpose of preparing to bring the Hive back. With the great geographical discoveries, South America and Central America were discovered by colonists one after another.
The worship of the Hive also spread to Europe, and eventually the society gradually developed into Hydra.
After all, the Hive was only sealed, but it could still communicate with the outside world. In that era of chaos, a god who could truly respond to believers was still very attractive. So the Hydra began to grow.
They began to offer sacrifices to the Hive every twenty years. The sacrifices must be knowledgeable elites, and the Hive will also give them some blessings.
Only people inside the Hydra know what the specific blessings are.
By the way, this Hydra does not refer to the Hydra created by the Red Skull. There is a difference between the two. Strictly speaking, the one created by the Red Skull is simply a counterfeit. Strictly speaking, the Red Skull's Hydra is just a white glove funded by the real Hydra Society. Otherwise, how do you think it is possible for a scientist like the Red Skull to develop such a powerful force in such a short time.
The defeat of the Red Skull's Hydra does not mean that the Hydra Society has declined.
On the contrary, this secret society has always existed and has always been connected with the Red Skull's Hydra.
And the manipulator behind this secret society is the Hive.
This guy is actually a South American rainforest version of Apocalypse.
But unlike Apocalypse, the Hive has been receiving information from the outside world for thousands of years, and is not an old antique who knows nothing. On the contrary, this guy is very knowledgeable and is a real old monster!
