The Death Knell

"It seems like something is watching me."

Wanda leaned closer to Deathstroke again and turned to look at the darkness behind her, because now the two of them had actually gone deep into the ground, that is, inside the huge erected block. There was nothing here except the red energy ball in her hand. light source.

There is nothing behind him.

The voice of the voice continued to echo along the corridor full of debris and debris. The even darker shadows in the darkness were actually just broken building materials or weathered bones.

Su Ming raised his head and glanced at where the two of them had come from, and after thinking for a moment, he acted like he was fine.

"I didn't expect you to understand this. Don't worry, I know what to do without you reminding me."

"Um?"

Wanda was confused because she saw Deathstroke walking to a corner of the room beside her, squatting down and lighting a candle. The weak yellow firelight cast their shadows on the wall unsteadily.

The atmosphere seemed even weirder.

"Before opening the coffin, light a candle in the southeast corner of the tomb. Although I will touch the body clean whether it burns out or not, life needs a sense of ritual." Su Ming returned to the treatment room and answered Wanda confidently. , while using force to open the hatch cover: "Watch me show you a unique skill, two-finger caving."

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and inserted them into the corpse's nostrils, then gently lifted it up, and the upper half of the head was separated from the lower jaw.

The stiff skin, flesh and bones made a sound like tearing paper, and the fibers of the muscles and the spinal cord in the spine were stretched very long.

"!!!"

Wanda's jaw also seemed to drop, this was so disgusting! Why would you do this to a corpse? ?

As if he understood what she was thinking, Su Ming just slowly stuffed half of his head into his pocket and replied: "There may be memories in the brain, and DNA only needs skin and flesh. I don't know the other parts of the body." It’s useless, why take it back?”

Strangler appeared in the next second and ate up the remaining parts of the cabin, providing the host with a list of the elements that make up the Eternals' bodies.

Carbon-based organisms are the same as humans, but there are some special traces on their genetic sequences, which is probably why they have gained stronger power.

However, those changes were all the work of the Celestial Gods. Strangulation cannot be cracked. We have to go back and find experts to study it.

Seeing that the treatment room had become clean, Su Ming pulled Wanda back beside him, raised an instrument that was as big as a large CT equipment, and stuffed it into the small bag on his waist.

It was a very strange visual experience. Although such a large device seemed to be distorted by space, it became smaller when it came into contact with the Supreme Mage's belt, and then disappeared.

Wanda pinched the bridge of her nose hard, feeling that she had seen too many things today and her brain had become exhausted...

But Deathstroke pulled her onto the flying carpet again: "Let's go, let's go back the way we came, and then look in other buildings to see if there are any good things."

.....................................

When the two of them walked out of the building, they saw a tall figure standing in front of the tombstone. He tilted his head as if he wanted to see the flowers on the metal tombstone.

He was waiting for the death knell, and his posture showed that he was waiting.

"Thanos, have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

Su Ming jumped off his cloak, letting it protect Wanda, and walked over to say hello to the big man.

Thanos turned his head and glanced at him, then stared at the tombstone with his hands behind his back:

"Death knell, Supreme Mage, I really didn't expect to see you in the home where I died. This should be the first time we meet."

"Maybe it's all coincidence, maybe it's some arrangement, who can say for sure." Su Ming shook his head and walked to the Mad Titan: "Come to see your mother today?"

"I will come every solar cycle."

Thanos is not very talkative now, he behaves very rationally, and his red eyes are shining on his purple wrinkled face.

"Have you not found the answer you are looking for?" Su Ming took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth: "The so-called monster inside your body and the reason for your genetic mutation?"

"You seem to know a lot." Thanos' face was expressionless. His fists wearing golden gloves slowly clenched, but then quickly released: "I really haven't found the answer to this day."

Su Ming still smoked vigorously. There was too little oxygen in the air of Titan, making it difficult for the cigarette to burn. He pointed at the tombstone casually:

"What did she say when you killed her?"

"I blocked her mouth, carefully took out her brain with a knife, and searched every piece of her internal organs. There were no clues."

Thanos was expressionless, but there was some pride in his tone. After all, the act of killing his mother with his own hands made him fully understand his lover's preferences.

I also understood that the monster inside me was called Killing.

.....................

The Titans all look the same as humans. Thanos is the only one on the planet with purple skin, but this should not be a reason for him to discriminate against himself.

In fact, his father, Al Lars, was the ruler of the Eternals on Titan at the time, and Thanos's genetic mutation gave him a lot of extra points.

Unlike humans, who are still afraid of genetically mutated mutants, the Eternals admire mutation much more.

Gene mutations can still survive, which shows that it conforms to the law of natural selection. So maybe this is a new direction of evolution?

At that time, little Thanos was considered to have unique genetic potential, and the girls in the school wanted to breed with him. However, he himself could not pass the psychological test. He believed that he was a monster from beginning to end, and eventually drove him crazy. own.

In fact, this was also due to his mother Susan. When she gave birth to the child, the woman tried to kill him with a knife because she thought he was a monster.

This scene was carved into the depths of the baby's subconscious. In the days to come, Thanos would have a dream whenever he closed his eyes, dreaming of a woman holding him while holding a knife in her other hand. Kill him while shouting 'He is a monster' in the dream.

He hasn't slept since he was seven years old. He is always awake, just to get rid of that horrible dream.

Naturally, not sleeping also made him crazier.

He wanted to find out where the monster in his body came from, so after secretly killing some classmates to obtain experimental materials for the control group, he also killed his mother, because genetic mutations must be related to genetics.

Unfortunately, the answer to the thesis will not be found in the organs of living things.

But not all was lost.

He found the love of his life, and another woman who 'loved' him appeared. That girl taught him the path he is on now, and promised to marry Thanos if her conditions were met.

He is still working on this, but he will take time to come back here every Earth year to spend time with his family and friends.

Even if they all died and became bones or dust at their feet.
