The Death Knell

"Did we discuss it?"

The warm cabin was filled with the smell of alcohol, and the crackling sounds in the fireplace continued. The red firewood slowly turned black, and then turned into white ash.

Black to the extreme, it looks white to others. This is what top villains are like.

Su Ming has checked all the items inside the house. Even Santa Claus's bedroom was asked to go in and take a look. He didn't find anything else of value. There were many knick-knacks and toys, as well as a lot of snacks. Candy, but these are worthless.

So Su Ming returned to the few people who were still communicating and asked them questions knowingly.

Wade moved his neck and felt that the bones and flesh had grown back. He pressed his paws through the mask to press his nostrils and said vaguely: "I have exchanged free mints for a lifetime, but I can barely accept it."

Spider-Man jumped on the floor. His steps were very light and his movements made no sound: "There are still two hours until 12 o'clock here. We have to hurry up."

"Very good, let's start assigning tasks now." Su Ming looked at Santa Claus sitting on the sofa. The old man's expression was a little strange. Maybe he was hiding something, but it didn't matter: "I'm going to help the old man take back the factory. Peter goes to get the reindeer back, and Wade goes to find Mrs. Claus.”

"Why are they so divided?" Deadpool raised his hand like a primary school student and asked: "I want to find Rudolph's. I heard that his nose is like a light bulb."

"Because you have strong personal charm. Mother Christmas is a woman after all, and you are more confident in dealing with women." Su Ming explained very calmly, without any trace of nonsense.

Wade nodded and made a strange sound: "This is true, suck..."

"Hey, what are you going to do to my wife? Especially you, Deadpool, are not allowed to seduce my wife!" Santa Claus jumped up from the sofa and waved his fist in the air.

"She ran away, didn't she? Think about it first, even if I chase her back, how can you persuade her not to divorce you." Deadpool spread his hands, sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa, and swung his legs in the air: "Yes. I said, things like love cannot be forced. If the old ones don’t go away and the new ones don’t come, how about I go find some young Irish beauties for you?”

Santa Claus hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little moved. On one side is a gray-haired old woman, on the other side is an Irish golden cat, this...

"Don't talk nonsense! How could Santa Claus abandon his wife? He is a role model for children. A couple who grows old together will not separate just because of your simple instigation." Peter covered Deadpool's mouth and rubbed it hard Holding his head, he denied Deadpool's previous statement while speaking.

The clinker Santa Claus touched his white beard, slowly sat back on the sofa, patted Deadpool's thigh with his hand, and whispered: "It's not impossible, I've had enough of that yellow-faced woman... ..”

Spider-Man seemed to have lost his strength, and his arms hung down weakly. Santa Claus's words were so true that he could hardly accept them.

Deadpool triumphantly slapped Peter's hand away and gave Santa Claus a look that every man knows: "Then I'm going to Ireland? How many do you want? Don't worry, I will help you inspect the goods first."

However, Santa Claus still grabbed his clothes and shook his head with difficulty: "No, I have thought about it. You should help me find the old woman first. She and I have been together since 1846. It's freezing outside." It’s freezing, and it’s extremely dark and it’s very unsafe.”

Wade sighed: "You are really not a man. You can't even choose the 'want it all' option. Well, since you are the employer, I will listen to you."

"You want everything? Don't listen to his nonsense." Peter immediately jumped out to sing the opposite: "Protect your marriage. This is what a man should do. Be responsible and do a good job! Santa Claus!"

Santa Claus waved his hands, closed his eyes in pain, and quickly drank some wine to treat his heartache. He also wanted young and beautiful women, but his public image also had to be considered.

"Don't always call me Santa Claus, call me Grandpa." He covered his heart and rolled on the sofa, but after saying this, he immediately said to Su Ming: "Well, the Supreme Mage just calls me Little Saint. Okay, hehe."

Wade was often treated differently from people and the death knell. He was used to it. He just turned his back to Santa Claus and gave a middle finger, then opened the door and walked away, taking a bottle of low-quality wine with him.

Although it is a little difficult to find someone on a snowy night, Wade is one of the top mercenaries. So far, his success rate in finding cats is 100%.

He walked into the wind and snow with his head held high, singing the Boy Scout military song.

"Let's go too. Do you know what to do?" Su Ming did not participate in those useless conversations. He just watched Spider-Man and Deadpool bickering. After Deadpool left, he would also drive Peter away.

Peter scratched his head. He didn't know what Deathstroke's plan was, so he said honestly: "My Spider Armor can link to Stark Industries' satellites. If the reindeer flew away pulling the sleigh, the satellites should be able to find them. It's just that In this way, I'm afraid I will owe Mr. Stark even more..."

"In your opinion, borrowing a satellite is a big deal, but to Tony, it's as simple as borrowing nail clippers. Rich people, these are small things, so don't worry and borrow them boldly." Su Ming touched Spider-Man's hand Head, this spider armor is indeed Tony's puppet. Could he be monitoring what's going on here?

Peter smiled bitterly. His family had always been poor, and he really couldn't understand the mentality of rich people, but since Mr. Wilson said so, there should be nothing wrong.

So he quickly left the room and tried to find a place with a better signal to connect to the satellite.

When both of them were gone, only Su Ming and Santa Claus were left in the cabin, and the atmosphere became more solemn.

Both sides were sizing each other up. Facing the heavily armed Supreme Mage, it was impossible for Santa Claus not to panic.

But Su Ming didn't give him too much chance to think wildly, and clapped his hands gently, as if applauding him: "Well done, Xiao Sheng, you may be able to hide it from the two of them, but you can't hide it from me."

"What are you talking about? Haha... How dare I hide it from the Supreme Mage?" Santa Claus smiled and tugged on the greasy vest on his body.

"Oh? No? You only said before that your factory was robbed, your wife ran away, and the reindeer ran away. What was the reason?" Su Ming drew out the God Killer, and the platinum-gold weapon bloomed with dazzling light: "Let me Guess, you actually arranged for your wife and reindeer to take refuge, and the factory also voluntarily gave up. Your sofa faced the door, your shotgun was at hand, you drank a lot, took out vitamins and took a handful of antacids. You are very nervous, who are you waiting for? Who is going to deal with you? "

Santa Claus opened his mouth, his white beard wriggled twice, and finally closed his eyes and sighed longly: "As expected, I still can't hide it from you. As expected of Death Knell, your cousin is far behind you."

Su Ming shook his head and gently rubbed the blade of the sword with his palm. The lightning brought a tingling feeling: "No, Wade already knows. He just wants to play with you and see what tricks you plan to play. Some people Although he talks nonsense, I know very well in my heart that my cousin is this kind of person, he is pretending to be confused, and you are really confused."

"Is that so... But they are destined to not find my wife and reindeer. I hid them in an absolutely confidential and safe place." Santa Claus reached under the sofa cushions and took out the When the good wine came, I poured a glass for Su Ming with some distress, but I only poured a little bit.

Su Ming took the wine glass unceremoniously: "Don't be so absolute, Little Saint, Wade is the most unexpected mercenary. There is nothing he can't do. And Spider-Man's interpersonal relationships are surprisingly good. Someone will find it for him.”

"I didn't expect you to come. I thought..." Santa Claus drank the wine with some bitterness.

"Thought it was a vampire?" Su Ming turned the God Killer in his hand into the shape of a giant cross. This was a strange weapon.

"How do you know?" Santa Claus was really shocked. He obviously didn't say anything.

Su Ming stood the cross at his feet and stretched out a finger to shake it gently: "There are so many clues that I am too lazy to talk about them one by one. Let me just talk about the simplest one. Based on the known situation, you judge that someone is going to deal with you. , so you sit here guarding the door. But there are five other windows in your house, let alone nailing them with boards. You don't even look in their direction, which shows that you are sure that the other party will come in through the door. What kind of monster has special obsessive-compulsive disorder and must go through the front door to enter other people's homes? The answer is obvious. Only the vampires have this problem. Do not enter unless they are allowed. This is the rule set by their ancestors."

"..."

Santa Claus was speechless. Deathstroke really saw the truth in some seemingly ordinary things.

Su Ming ignored his complicated expression and continued:

"It's the Christmas season now. It's winter in the northern hemisphere. There's always polar night in the Arctic Circle. Vampires are not afraid of the cold and heat. The half-year-long polar night is a good opportunity for them to expand... Let me think about it. What could be faster than using Christmas presents to spread a blood-sucking parasite? Don’t you think so? When the children open their presents and a parasite suddenly flies into their laughing mouths, it sounds like a great plan.”

Santa Claus took a deep breath and nodded feebly: "Yes, those guys came to me before and wanted me to assist in their plan, but how could I agree with them to harm those children? But you also know , they will only get worse, threatening and intimidating me, so I have to hide all the gifts so that they can't find the opportunity to do it. However, today, there are still a few hours, and I have to send gifts. This is Their last chance."

Su Ming nodded, this was all expected:

"If it's a parasite, it's part of the vampire's 'Steam' series plan. Didn't I eradicate the parasite back then? Then it should have developed into a v3 steam digestive tract blood-sucking creature now. But it could also be the 'Necrotic' series Blood-sucking virus weapons, or chemical hallucinogens from the 'Blood Sore' series, there are many possibilities, but it doesn't matter. You watched me send Deadpool and the others away without stopping them. You must have great confidence in me, the Supreme Mage, then. You should also know what I’m going to do next, right?”

Santa Claus covered his face and nodded slowly: "I know, you have to negotiate a deal with me."

"Smart, I like smart people..." A low laugh came from the room.
