The Death Knell

The body structure of the Eternals is no different from that of humans. They all evolved from ancient apes. They are just varieties that were interfered by by the Celestials in the evolution process.

Although there are some individuals with unique shapes due to mutations, it is obvious that the corpses here do not have that type, they are all humanoid.

Under the premise that the body structure is the same, the reaction to death should also be the same.

The contraction and relaxation responses of human pupils are used as an important criterion for judging death in clinical medicine.

Dilated pupils are one of the symptoms of brain death.

The principle is that the contraction of the pupil is controlled by the surrounding muscles. After brain death, the muscles will relax due to the loss of nerve signals. The same is true for the muscles that control the expansion and contraction of the pupil.

The corpse in Su Ming's hand was completely rotten and exuded the same smell as Wade's, but after opening the eyelids, there were no pupils.

These people all died with their eyes rolled. If one could see through it, their eyes were looking through their own brains at the back of their heads, with their eyes turned 180 degrees.

As we all know, when being extremely frightened, human nerves will go into shock in order to protect the brain. The specific manifestations are clenching of the teeth and whitening of the eyes. This is caused by the stimulation of the muscles by the strong bioelectrical signals transmitted from the last nerve.

Being comatose can prevent the brain from receiving more stimulation from the outside world. This phenomenon is also called fainting.

These corpses were typical cases of death from excessive fright. If their internal organs had not completely rotted, Su Ming could have even taken out their hearts and showed them to Doom. If correct, the exact cause of death of these people should be called excessive fright. Causing cardiac arrest.

Emotions can also kill. DC next door has proven this. Any kind of emotional light is a powerful force.

On Marvel's side, the emotion of fear is exclusively controlled by a type of demon called the 'Fear Lord'. The most famous fear lord is the 'Dark Diver', which is a blue-skinned octopus-faced creature from Cthulhu. Fear itself hatched from the egg.

Doom saw the whites of the corpse's eyes, and he went to check several other corpses. Sure enough, just like what the death knell said, these people were all scared to death.

"I don't know what they saw last time before they were alive. Someone could scare the Eternals to death..." Doctor Doom held his chin with his hand: "It's these Eternals who don't know that their ancestors have faced the gods. The group has degenerated from generation to generation and fallen to the point of being as timid as a mouse? Or have they seen something more terrifying than that?"

The two of them walked out of the temple together, but it was different from before entering. Now when he looked up at the colorful universe, Doom only felt an indescribable pressure.

The death knell was still calm. He wiped out his cigarette butt on the beautiful sculpture beside him, leaving a small black spot on the white snow and said:

"I have a guess about what they saw. Don't you think it's strange that you killed so many true fairies? How could there be so many Old Familia in the negative space?"

"You mean..." Doom looked at him.

Su Ming floated up and moved down the mountain. He took out a bottle of beer to quench his thirst. After taking a sip, he said: "Ah, I think they most likely saw an incomprehensible and indescribable existence. Only then did they feel extremely frightened and... Death in madness.”

Doom followed, and he remained silent. He was not the kind of person who made a fuss about everything and liked to talk about it.

Now that he knew Deathstroke's judgment, he only needed to think about how to deal with this variable.

The best solution was tranquilizers or magic, and he decided to prepare both.

"But this is also a good thing." Su Ming spoke again, and he put away the empty bottle: "The arrival of the old illusions is not an extermination weapon, but ordinary wisdom cannot understand their existence, so there should be survivors here There are always people with extraordinary willpower.”

Speaking of willpower, Doom is almost one of the pinnacles of the Marvel Universe. In the comics, he can resist the White Queen's mind reading, Charles' body manipulation, etc. by relying on willpower without relying on any other means. ability.

Even though he was captured by Mephisto and tortured for a long time, and the Demon King tried all the punishments imaginable in hell on him, Doom didn't even hum. It was all about his willpower that he could still be tortured. At that time, he asked Lao Mo for his mother's soul.

In addition, he has the ultimate physical fitness of a human being and has received superb martial arts training in the East. He once defeated a black panther without wearing a suit.

Su Ming always felt that these settings were similar to those of someone next door, so he couldn't help but glance at the top of Doom's head to make sure there were no two pointed ears standing up there.

The green cloak is still there, and there are no ear-like things.

"Looking for someone? Doom can use a robot."

Doctor Doom heard that he was looking for someone, so he could just leave this basic work to the machine, and the two of them could watch from a safe place.

He also had several small pockets on his belt. At this time, he opened one and narrated the mission in a dictation. Then the little bugs wearing green cloaks flew out of the pockets, moved along the mountain, and dispersed to in all directions.

After completing this step, he found a big tree and leaned on it, as if he had begun to close his eyes and meditate.

In fact, all the types of robots he built have a function, which is that after combining science with magic, he can switch to the robot's perspective at any time and observe everything these machines see from a first-person perspective.

He is currently switching between different robots. To put it bluntly, he is a supervisor.

Soon, information came one after another, and the micro-robots sent back real-time images of every corner of the floating island. They found more corpses, and those corpses were not only highly decomposed, but also had bones that had been gnawed by the same kind. Mark of.

Doom took the trouble to check every discovery. After about three minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Slade, Doom has found a survivor. Just as you expected, there are several crazy survivors in a tunnel underground at this time."

"Underground tunnels? Have I told you that I really like sewers, tombs, mines and other underground facilities." Su Ming smiled and waited for Doom to show the way, and also told a joke.

Unfortunately, one of Doom's weaknesses is his lack of humor.

He really regarded the joke as a statement of fact, and said: "Nadum thought you would like this discovery. The place where they were hiding was a tomb."

Many people say that Doom is a liar, but unfortunately his deceptions are all used in tactical planning and war. In life, he is really an honest person.

Su Ming sighed, his cousin is better, Doom can't even make jokes, it really lacks fun.

"Okay, lead the way. Alas, if we kill them, we will have the information. With the information, it is very possible to find the center of the negative space. This is good news. As for the tomb, we should still know the origin of this city. People I always like to record my life and history in the cemetery.”

The two armored men flew up and headed towards the city at the foot of the mountain.
