Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: HYDRA's Black Flag?

"Hiss~ That's so damn embarrassing!"

Luca, who had just been acting 'cool' and arrogant, felt goosebumps all over his body after saying that.

However, the three people opposite him didn't care much. After being astonished by his skills, they immediately regrouped and started shooting at him.

Even while unleashing their firepower, the three of them didn't forget to retreat in an orderly fashion.

However, Luca was still carrying a fully armed corpse at this moment.

Facing the hail of bullets from the enemy, he didn't even make any evasive movements. He simply held the corpse high in front of him as a shield and once again charged forward.

For a moment, dense bullets 'thud-thud-thud' embedded themselves into the human shield in Luca's hand.

The thoroughly dead corpse in his hand had gained more than a pound in weight in that short time.

'Sure enough, as long as you hold a shield, the enemy will only aim at the shield~'

Of course, that was just a joke.

In reality, the reason Luca dared to use a human shield to impersonate Captain America was, firstly, that the 'shield' itself was large enough, fully armed, and had excellent bulletproof quality.

Secondly, it was because...

Hmm, the [Swallowtail Outfit] item itself possessed an unscientific bulletproof ability.

Forget about the small-caliber submachine guns used for urban combat by the opponents; even conventional kinetic rifles would at most cause pain, swelling, or minor fractures when hitting him. It was completely impossible to kill Luca.

At this moment, he only needed to protect his exposed head.

It sounds complicated, but in reality, only a few seconds passed from Luca raising his shield for cover to charging through the hail of bullets.

Seeing that he was close enough to the enemy, Luca didn't pay attention to the seemingly endless alternating gunfire.

In an instant, all the muscles in his body exerted force simultaneously, and the peculiar tingling sensation of the [Swallowtail Outfit]'s stimulating current spread throughout his body.

Immediately after, the bullet-riddled corpse in Luca's hand was suddenly thrown out by him.

The corpse, enduring the kinetic energy of the gunfire, like a bullet absorber, directly smashed towards the three shooters.

"Watch out!"

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

The unlucky person standing beside him was directly sent flying backward by the corpse.

Helplessly, he could only roll on the ground to dodge.

However, it was precisely at the moment his vision was obstructed by dodging.

Luca immediately shot a grappling hook from his elbow, nailing it to the ceiling of the sewer, then ran two steps and jumped.

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

With one leg straightened and one leg bent, he delivered an absolutely standard knight's flying kick, striking the person's face.

"Crack~"

A crisp sound of bone breaking.

The person's neck directly bent 90 degrees, enjoying the quick sleep brought by the bone setting.

At this moment, the Captain, who had already gotten back up, could no longer maintain his previous calm and professionalism. His face was filled with ferocity and fear as he furiously roared and pulled the trigger.

"Die! Monster!!!"

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

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

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

In the empty sewer, each of his footsteps seemed to tread on the Captain's heart.

"Alright, stop yelling. I didn't plan to kill you. I still want to ask you some questions~"

Looking at Luca's blood-stained, ferocious smile on his 'shattered face'.

The Captain seemed to have a premonition of something. With a frantic expression, he threw the gun in his hand at Luca.

At the same time, he quickly drew a dagger from his waist and held it in a reverse grip.

However, just as Luca thought this person was stubborn and still wanted to fight him in close combat.

He only shouted with fear and pleading in his eyes.

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

Hearing this, Luca was naturally full of question marks.

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

Unexpectedly, just as Luca said half of his sentence, the person's left eye seemed to burst open.

The surrounding blood vessels bulged, his eye socket slightly protruded, and his entire eye was filled with blood.

The dagger he had tightly gripped earlier fell to the ground with a 'clatter'.

Then, the entire person, with a terrified expression, fell straight forward to the ground.

"This?"

Luca, who had just felt he had everything under control and was about to knock the opponent out, suddenly looked serious at this moment.

"Is this... a remote-controlled miniature bomb installed in his head?"

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

However, this time the grappling hook did not 'auto-aim' and shoot into the chest of the fallen Captain. It only quickly embedded itself in the opponent's arm.

"He's really dead!"

Luca didn't believe the opponent was faking death to counterattack him.

But he absolutely believed in the power of rules that came with the Golden Finger.

This [Sweet Captivity] thing, as long as it aims at a living creature, it will automatically lock onto the enemy's chest and penetrate to fix itself, ensuring it can pull them back.

Only when aiming at non-living things will it truly hit its mark every time, making it convenient for Luca to move quickly.

The current situation of hitting the arm could only mean that the opponent was already a lifeless corpse.

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

He quickly walked two steps forward and turned over the person's corpse to examine it.

Upon touching it...

"Sure enough, it's a mechanical eyeball!"

Luca had already recalled that there seemed to be a high-ranking HYDRA infiltrator in S.H.I.E.L.D. who used similar methods to control his subordinates.

'I think he was called Clairvoyant?'

More importantly, this scene that triggered his memory also reminded Luca of another person he had just met.

'Heinrich von Stein!'

'Damn it, that guy's glowing eyes, could he also be a subordinate of Clairvoyant??'

'His name has 'von', and he has connections in Europe! Rebirth Capital!'

HYDRA's slogan is 'Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place,' and its core composition is Nazi remnants.

"Shit! I should have thought of it earlier!"

'No, my name also has 'von'! And Rebirth Capital invested at the company's inception!'

'My original parents said 'von' was a Chinese transliteration. Could they have been lying to him too?'

At this moment, Luca felt his scalp tingle.

He, a good old U.S. capitalist with a bright future, wouldn't just inexplicably become HYDRA's black flag, would he?

He looked at the group of unlucky people lying dead on the ground again.

'What is this? A dragon king's temple flooded by its own water?'
