Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 90 The Hydra's Black Flag? (Fifth Update)

"Ugh~ This is so damn embarrassing!"

Luca, who had just been putting on a cool and aloof act, felt goosebumps all over his body after he finished speaking.

However, the three opponents didn't care about that. After being shocked by his skills, they immediately regrouped and started firing in their direction.

Even while unleashing their firepower, the three of them did not forget to retreat in an orderly manner.

However, Luca was still carrying a fully armed corpse in his hand at that moment.

Facing the enemy's hail of bullets, he didn't even try to dodge. He simply held the corpse in his hand high in front of him and charged forward again.

In an instant, a dense hail of bullets pierced into the humanoid shield in Luca's hand with a series of 'thuds'.

The already dead corpse in his hands had gained more than a pound in that short time.

'Sure enough, as long as I hold up a shield, the enemy will only focus on attacking the shield!'

Of course, this is just a joke.

The reason Luca dared to impersonate Captain America while holding a human-shaped shield was that the 'shield' itself was large enough, fully armed, and had excellent bulletproof quality.

Another one is...

Well, the [tailcoat] item itself has a completely unscientific bulletproof ability.

Let alone the small-caliber submachine guns used for urban warfare on the other side, even a regular kinetic energy rifle would only cause pain, swelling, or minor fractures at most, and would be completely incapable of killing Luca.

Right now, all he needs to do is protect his exposed head.

It sounds long-winded, but in reality, it only took a few seconds from Luca raising his shield for cover to charging through a hail of bullets.

Seeing that he was close enough to the enemy, Luca ignored the seemingly endless barrage of fire.

In an instant, all the muscles in my body exerted force at the same time, and the unique tingling sensation of the electric current from the [tuxedo] spread throughout my body.

Immediately afterwards, Luca flung the bullet-riddled corpse from his hands away.

The corpse, having withstood the hail of bullets, acted like a bullet absorber, and slammed directly towards the three who had fired the shots.

"careful!"

The captain who reacted the fastest immediately shouted, but it was too late.

The unlucky guy standing next to him was smashed by the corpse and sent flying backward.

Left with no other option, he could only roll on the ground to dodge.

However, it was precisely at this moment, when his averted gaze was obstructed, that things changed.

Luca immediately shot out a grappling hook from his elbow, which landed on the sewer roof. He then took two quick steps and jumped.

Just like Spider-Man, he swung directly in front of his last henchman.

With one leg straight and the other bent, he delivered a perfect knight's flying kick to the man's face.

"Click~"

A crisp sound of bones breaking.

The person bent their neck at a 90-degree angle and enjoyed the quick sleep brought on by the chiropractic adjustment.

At this moment, the captain, who had already gotten up again, could no longer maintain his previous calm and professionalism. His face was full of ferocity and fear as he frantically screamed and pulled the trigger.

"Die! Monster!!!"

However, no matter how he pulled the trigger, the gun in his hand only produced a series of 'click-click' sounds of the empty magazine mechanism clashing.

It turned out that, having lost his mind, he hadn't even noticed that the magazine in his hand was empty.

Seeing this, Luca simply shook his head and chuckled, calmly walking towards him step by step.

In the empty sewers, each footstep seemed to pound on the captain's heart.

"Alright, stop yelling. I wasn't planning on killing you. I was even thinking of asking you some questions."

Looking at Luca's 'broken face,' with its bloodstained, ferocious grin.

As if sensing something was amiss, the captain, in a frenzied manner, threw his gun at Luca.

At the same time, he swiftly drew a dagger from his waist and gripped it in a reverse hand. However, just as Luca thought this man was stubborn and still wanted to fight him in close combat,

He simply cried out loudly, his eyes filled with terror and pleading.

"Don't kill me! I still have a chance!"

Upon hearing this, Luca was naturally filled with questions.

"I said I wouldn't kill you, you..."

Before Luca could finish speaking, the man's left eye appeared to explode as if his eyeball had burst.

The surrounding blood vessels were bulging, the eye sockets were slightly protruding, and the entire eye was filled with blood.

The dagger he had been gripping tightly in his hand clattered to the ground.

Then, with a look of terror on his face, he fell straight to the ground.

"this?"

Luca, who had just felt he had everything under control and was about to knock the other person unconscious, suddenly became serious.

"Is this... a remotely controlled miniature bomb implanted in someone's head?"

Somewhat surprised and uncertain, Luca raised his wrist and fired a grappling hook.

However, this time the grappling hook did not 'auto-aim' into the chest of the fallen captain; instead, it quickly sank into the man's arm.

"Really dead!"

Luca didn't believe that the other party was admitting to faking death and wanted to retaliate.

But he must believe in the inherent power of rules that come with the cheat system.

The [Sweet Captive] item will automatically lock onto and penetrate the chest of any living creature it targets, ensuring that it can be pulled back.

Only when targeting inanimate objects will the shot be truly accurate, allowing Luca to make rapid movements.

Given the current situation of being shot in the arm, the only possibility is that the other party is already a lifeless corpse.

However, the bizarre explosion of the other party's eyeball just now gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Take a few quick steps forward and turn the body over to examine it.

Upon reaching out and touching it...

"As expected, it's a mechanical eyeball!"

At this moment, Luca recalled that there seemed to be a high-ranking Hydra agent lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D. who used similar methods to control his subordinates.

'I think it's called "Thousand-Mile Eyes"?'

More importantly, this scene that triggered his memories also reminded Luca of someone else he had just met.

'Heinrich von Stein!'

'Damn, that guy's eyes are glowing, could he be one of Clairvoyant's men too?'

'His name contains the character "Feng," and he has connections in Europe! Regenerative Capital!'

Hydra's motto was "Cut off one head, and two will grow back," and its core components were remnants of Nazism.

"Damn! I should have thought of that!"

'No, wait, my name also has "Feng" in it! Regenerative Capital invested in the company when it was just starting out!'

'What his parents said—that "Feng" is a Chinese transliteration—could they have lied to him too?'

At that moment, Luca felt a chill run down his spine.

Could it be that a perfectly good American capitalist company with a bright future has inexplicably become the black flag of Hydra?

Then I looked at the group of unfortunate souls lying dead on the ground.

'What's this? Did the flood wash away the Dragon King's temple?'
