The Death Knell

After walking out of the catacombs, the two humans found a park to sit down. The small fountain in the park was still operating, and clear water was flowing continuously from the water bottle held by the statue of the beautiful woman.

There were some water lilies in the fountain, and they were still alive, but otherwise there was nothing else alive in the water.

The three strangled tentacles all picked up the skulls and washed them in the fountain like mutton. The golden blood didn't look like a good thing, because the blood of the Eternals should be red.

The few surviving Eternals have been transformed and become a new species.

After seemingly facing the 'ultimate reality' of the universe, they return to their happiest, most carefree state.

That is the state of an irrational beast.

The more you know and the more you think, the more troubles you will have. The same is true for human beings. Sometimes madness is a kind of relief.

"Hey."

Strangler sends a message, it tells the host that it cleaned those brains out, presumably.

"Then let's start, but be careful. Once you find any changes in yourself, stop reading the memory immediately." Su Ming sat silently on the stone bench, next to Doom who was looking at the symbiote. The latter didn't know what he was thinking. What, just looking very focused.

To put it bluntly, the process of reading memories by Strangler is to simulate the neural network access to the foreign brain tissue swallowed by it, and use bioelectricity to activate them in batches to select the corresponding memory.

The Eternals have the same brain structure as humans, just slightly larger and heavier.

In this way, attacking their brains can be based on some human research results.

Human memory is divided into two types: declarative and non-declarative. The former is things such as riding a bicycle and holding chopsticks, which is also called body memory.

The latter is the part that needs to be awakened through thinking. For example, you remember that the capital of Thailand is Bangkok, the largest crater on the moon is called Bailey, etc.

The current actions of those madmen seem to be some kind of distorted instinct, which may even have nothing to do with the brain. However, Su Ming still lets Strangler bypass those declarative memories that may have 'cannibalism' to read their information about the past. Those memories of normal life.

Strangler is not a magical floating cloak. It never compromises in executing orders and will not lose its chain at critical moments.

The big mouths on the three tentacles wrapped around the three-petal head, and then a massive amount of information and intelligence entered the host's mind.

The rational memory of these three people was interrupted by a shock, and after the turmoil that shook the earth, they went crazy.

As for what the people here saw and what they encountered, it seems that it will always be a mystery, and Su Ming would rather they remain a mystery. At least he wouldn't go looking for the Old Ones specifically to solve the puzzle, let alone encounter that kind of thing in the negative space.

I hope so, it's best not to encounter it.

Watching the Supreme Mage's pet slowly wrap up and chew several heads, the cracking sounds of the bones could be heard, Doom remained very calm, as if he was not surprised.

This is normal. When Doom was a child, the people of Latvinia were extremely poor. Every household was hungry because the king at that time levied a 95% agricultural tax on every household. .

Latvinia is located in Eastern Europe, and there are not many natural disasters. However, after World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union have been fighting openly and secretly in this country, causing man-made disasters one after another.

Today, the CIA drops poison gas on a suspected Soviet underground transportation station. Tomorrow, the Cheka will return with dirty bombs to retaliate. The king is submissive to the outside world and pretends to be invisible, and instead attacks the people at home.

Doom still remembers that at that time, people were dying of hunger all over the land, and there were many families in the village who were selling their children for food, and the barren land was roaming everywhere with wild beasts in human skins.

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

There was a severe drought one summer, and three villagers broke into the home of Doom, an orphan, and wanted to cook him into a BBQ on the spot.

He was tied to the pyre, but he remained calm and showed the three thugs his ribs under his clothes, and said to the strongest one among them:

"I'm too thin and don't have much meat. I'm definitely not enough for the three of you. Why don't you give me to the strongest person? After he's full, he can take you to catch new prey."

Of course the strongest person is willing, and he is the winner in this distribution plan.

However, the other two secretly exchanged glances.

So the strongest man was killed together by the other two, because if the strong man was full, the threat would be too great, not to mention whether he would take the two of them to find new food, or even the two of them would become him. food.

It's better to strike first, and everyone can add a meal. Well, now we have the meat of an adult man and a child.

"Oh, why did you kill him too? But how will you distribute it next? I obviously have less meat than him, who of you will take the bigger one and who will take the smaller one?"

Doom looked like he was thinking about the other person.

One of the remaining two people was clever and immediately used the knife to kill the strong man to attack his accomplices. The two fought for a while, and another person died. Now there was no problem of distribution.

Two big ones and one small one, he wants them all!

However, the tied up Doom spoke again: "You are too anxious, you shouldn't kill him, you should raise him slowly. The weather is so hot now, these two corpses will stink soon. You can't eat the smelly meat! How about you keep me fattened first, then put me down and I can help you cook? I can make bacon and can help you store these two pigs."

The remaining thugs thought about it, and it made sense. They were already very hungry people, and they were even more heartbroken to hear that the weather might lead to a waste of meat.

He felt that Doom was too thin and small to be his match, so he could just keep it for another day.

So he put Doom down, and the boy behaved very obediently, helping him slaughter the prey, boiling water and cooking, and kept the clever man comfortable.

During dinner, the ghost had a full belly and went to sleep when he felt sleepy. However, Doom, who had always been hungry, was very awake. After being tied up, he lay in the corner of the room and pretended to sleep.

In the middle of the night, after his enemy fell asleep, he was tied up and squirmed like a maggot to the kitchen, burned the rope with embers in the stove, picked up a sharp stick and went to the bedroom.

It's easy for a child to kill an adult. All he has to do is poke a sharp object into the eye socket and stir it up.

The final winner is Doom.

The people in the village only saw three ogres rushing into the orphan's house, but it was the thin orphan who walked out the next day. He even invited another orphan girl from the same village, his playmate Valeria Go and stay at his house.

Under the circumstances at that time, staying alive was the greatest luxury. Who could care about such trivial matters as missing people?

For the next few months, passersby passing by Doom's house would smell the enticing aroma of meat.

It's not that no one will have bad ideas again, but every time no matter how many people rush into the hut, the boys and girls are always the ones who survive.

No one dared to steal Doom's food anymore.

Doom's method of killing three adults relied on wisdom. To be precise, it is game theory. This is a variant application of the "Musketeer's Dilemma" theory. He has been smart since he was a child, and he was so smart that he was able to transform the motherland at a young age. ideals and put them into action.

He went to the abandoned library in the city to steal some foreign books, and soon learned eight foreign languages ​​by himself with his intelligence. He used this to catch up with the US military stationed in Latvinia at the time, that is, he became a translator and guide. .

During that time, he showed great acting skills, vividly portraying a boy from a poor country's longing for the Lighthouse of Liberty. He also showed some of his engineering talents, such as helping the garrison improve the mountain performance of motorcycles.

As a result, he got the opportunity to study in the United States and entered Empire State University. After graduation, he entered the Military Research Institute as originally agreed.

But he still thought about his motherland. After using the equipment and resources of the U.S. military to conduct experiments and secretly achieving a series of results, he escaped decisively.

Once he escaped, the US military was never able to catch him again.

After he went to the East to study magic, he returned to his hometown, mass-produced Doom robots, integrated all the rebels to overthrow the king, drove away all the invaders, and finally killed all the rebels.

Finally, Doctor Doom became the dictator of Latvinia with an iron fist, and later he successfully won over many small African countries and gathered enough votes to bring Latvinia into the United Nations.

In this way, he would be fine even if he swaggered around in the United States. With the diplomatic immunity on his head and his tyrannical strength, the US military had absolutely no way to deal with him, and could only gnash its teeth in secret.

So now, when he sees Deathstroke's little pet chewing on other people's heads, Doom has no fluctuation in his heart. He even wants to laugh a little, thinking that the symbiote is quite cute.
