"what!"

Brother Peng, Brother Peng!

New York, Brick Street, a sacred place.

Inside Doctor Strange's Fortress.

Stephen moved his feet and cast a spell accompanied by a change in hand gestures. A shield of magic circles appeared in front of him, blocking the deadly blow.

The magic circle in his hand shattered, but the expression on Whitebeard's face remained unchanged. Doctor Strange 11 remained unmoved. He pulled a sharp dagger from his pocket and slashed his palm.

As soon as the wound appeared on his palm, the flowing blood, accompanied by Doctor Strange's incantation, instantly transformed into sharp blades that flew towards the figure opposite him.

Despite these obvious magical attacks, Peggy Carter remained calm behind her shield; she continued to deflect the blades' attacks with her shield.

This sword, formed from Doctor Strange's blood magic, clearly had a strong corrosive effect, instantly creating a corrosion mark of varying depths on Carter's shield.

The shield in her hand was an ordinary shield, no better than the one Steve Rogers used in World War II. To block the approaching blade, Carter rolled to the side, throwing her legs into the air and swinging the shield at the figure in front of her, launching herself into the air.

Carter's attack was so swift that Dr. Strange, the attacker, seemed to have no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the shield grew larger and larger in his eyes.

However, just before the shield was supposed to hit her.

Carter rallied and brought his shield to a stop in front of Dr. Strange.

"I am the winner."

Looking at the dented surface of the shield in his hand, Carter rubbed his eyes, looked at Dr. Stephen Strange standing in front of him, and said.

You shouldn't stay where you are.

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Strange, who was standing in front of Carter, vanished instantly, and another Doctor Strange appeared behind Carter.

Doctor Strange learned the "Shape of Echo" spell while reading a spellbook, which allows him to create a doppelganger to fight with magic.

"I don't think you have that ability."

Watching Doctor Strange appear and disappear before him, Carter shook his head and admitted his mistake.

She had never faced an opponent like Doctor Strange before, and in this encounter, the relentless magical attacks left Carter somewhat dumbfounded.

"Magic is indeed a rather magical power."

Meanwhile, Carter looked at Doctor Strange's amazing abilities and couldn't help but sigh.

"Similarly, this is also a rather dangerous existence."

Dr. Strange sensed the emotion in Carter's tone and whispered a reminder: "All magic has its price, it's just a matter of what kind of price it is, like in the previous summoning ritual, I was able to summon you at a price."

"You didn't originally intend to summon me."

To this, Cardi nodded, then looked at Doctor Strange standing in front of him and said.

"That's why I say it's a dangerous ability."

Dr. Strange responded calmly.

After a moment of silence, Dr. Strange spoke, looking at Carter in front of him, and said, "Do you like your new body?"

"Extremely powerful."

As someone who participated in World War II and briefly succeeded Steve Rogers as Captain America, Carter quickly adapted to his mindset and abilities.

As the first successful test subject of the Super Soldier Serum, Captain America's physical abilities were clearly stronger than Carter had imagined.

For example, the battle with Doctor Strange was so intense.

In the past, she couldn't have done this as easily as she does now, even when she was the captain of Pretty Country.

After replacing Steve as Captain America, Carter attempted to join the Super Soldier Serum experiment, but unfortunately, before she could begin the experiment, news of America's defeat spread, plunging all the Allied forces into chaos, and naturally no one mentioned the experiment anymore.

"I feel that this body has a lot of untapped power, so it needs more time to adapt to it, in addition."

After saying this, Carter glanced at the battered shield in his hand and said with some difficulty.

"This shield isn't as good as the old one."

Based on Carter's description of the shield in her hand, Dr. Strange thought, "I've figured this out."

Historically, Captain America's shield was made by Howard Stark using a special metal material.

Doctor Strange 167 is currently unable to completely replicate the production process, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have other ways to do it.

He recently consulted some materials and has gained some understanding of the magic recorded in the Lesser Key of Solomon. He plans to use magical power to build a sturdy shield for Carter.

"I didn't interfere with anything, did I?"

Just as the two were talking, a slightly hesitant voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, Banner appeared in the audience with his dried-up head hanging from his belt, looking at Doctor Strange and the handsome, fat-eared Captain America, Peggy Carter.

At Doctor Strange's suggestion, Banner didn't hold his dried-out head for as long as before, but he didn't want to put it down easily either. After all, the ghosts in the house still terrified him. So at his request, Doctor Strange made him a rope to hang his head on, which would protect him from evil spirits and reduce the impact of his head on him.

"There was a strange sound in the basement just now, it sounded like the cawing of crows, and it scared me."

Under Doctor Strange's watchful eye, Banner said he heard eerie sounds.

Upon hearing Banner's description, Doctor Strange immediately tensed up, and his expression became several degrees more serious.

Chapter 706 Strange Murder

"Kent, there's been a strange murder in Queens, the 11th so far. I need more reports and pictures related to this eucalyptus tree. People are tired of talking about superheroes lately, and several news articles about Lei Feng published by Frontline have received lukewarm responses."

Inside the front lines, boss Ben Jurich spoke with Xu Fu.

"A strange death?"

Upon hearing these words, a hint of curiosity flashed across Xu Fu's face.

If it could be called a strange impact, then there was a reason for it, and in the subsequent investigation, Xu Fu quickly learned why they were called strange.

According to police records and reports, the initial murder occurred in Manhattan's Upper East Side, one of New York City's wealthiest neighborhoods, where a man who went for a morning run was found dead in bushes near a park. His shriveled body made the New York police officers investigating at the time somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, according to the forensic examination, the body was very dry, indicating that the time of death was more than six months ago.

However, the items found on the body and the descriptions from family members clearly prove that the victim was killed less than 12 hours ago. Some neighbors even admitted that they saw the emaciated victim in the early morning, and at that time she did not look like she had been dead for six months.

The unusual nature of the body initially drew significant attention from the New York Police Department, which was conducting an investigation.

This was just the beginning of a series of similar murders that occurred throughout New York City in the following days.

The victim's manner of death was bizarre, resembling that of a mummified corpse.

Such a strange way of dying naturally attracted a lot of media attention.

Under pressure, the New York City Police Department was forced to form a special investigation team to investigate these eucalyptus cases.

Meanwhile, the media began reporting on the entire case with sensational headlines, speculating about who the killer was, what the connection was between the victims, why their deaths were so similar, who was behind it all—a supervillain, some unknown mysterious force, or a ghost.

Of course, most media outlets generally attributed these blows to the vampires' tactics.

After all, the deceased's withered appearance was extremely similar to that of a vampire, having been drained of blood and on the verge of death.

In response, reports about vampires in New York frequently appeared in newspapers, and for a while everyone was a little nervous.

"vampire".

After reviewing these eucalyptus reports, Xu Fu did not quite agree with the media's speculation about vampires.

According to police reports and even information released by the investigation team, although the victim died strangely, there were no characteristic wounds typical of vampire attacks. Furthermore, Xu Fu never found any trace of vampires in the Anti-World.

Nevertheless, these strange murders in New York piqued Xu Fu's interest, prompting him to investigate further.

At the same time, Xu Fu had a premonition that the truth behind these eucalyptus matters was not so simple.

This judgment was given by the superconscious.

Queens, on the side of a run-down street.

To learn more about eucalyptus trees, Xu Fu went to the scene of the murder.

This is also the latest case of eucalyptus trees to date.

Yellow police tape stretched around the alley, separating all the eucalyptus trees from the scene, and a large number of police officers were nearby, collecting evidence from the scene.

Due to the presence of the media, the public is extremely interested in the eucalyptus case.

The New York Police Department has deployed a large number of personnel to investigate the case in order to reach a conclusion as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, a precinct in Queens, New York City, warned nearby gangs to keep quiet during the time to avoid encountering gunfire.

The two victims were members of a nearby gang, and even the most clueless gang members knew that this was not the best time to take action and cause trouble after the police were alerted.

As a result, police services in Queens, which had been largely forgotten, have seen some improvement.

Standing not far from the alley, Xu Fu used his superhuman eyesight to survey the location where the eucalyptus trees were found.

The bodies of the two murdered gang members were removed from the scene immediately, and the police are currently only sorting through the evidence in the area.

Turning his attention away from the scene where the eucalyptus tree was discovered, Xu Fu did not walk into the alley to join in the merriment.

There, he saw several reporters who had obviously heard the news and rushed over to report on the incident.

Xu Fu shifted his attention to what was happening on the other side of the field.

A few yards away from the court, a group of Black children were still playing basketball, but the eucalyptus trees had no effect on them.
