The Death Knell

"Grandmaster."

Seeing the arrival of the death knell, Xiao Wang nodded and said hello, and shifted his position so that Su Ming could see who he was talking to.

He is a duck, about 80 centimeters tall, wearing a suit and tie.

Su Ming heard the shrill voice before and thought it was Xiao Wang who found a female prisoner and was a hero saving the beauty.

But alas, this is another situation, and the cartoon-type funny characters also have high-pitched voices.

At this time, the duck was locked in a cell. The white feathers all over his body looked gray and very lackluster.

He wanted to ask Xiao Wang to let him out, but the talking duck only made the mage more vigilant.

"Isn't this Howard's weird duck? How come it fell into the hands of the heir?" Su Ming recognized the duck, but it made sense. The duck man should also be regarded as a kind of animal totem.

He waved his hand and signaled Xiao Wang to untie the duck and get it out.

Duck World is another dimension, where the race of "duck people" lives. They are the same as the earth in all aspects, except that people there are ducks and ducks are people.

Strictly speaking, Howard the Duck is still a high-dimensional creature, but it's a bit weak.

He should be a permanent resident of Earth 616, because it was the Demon King Sogg who tried to use magic to descend from his hell dimension to the main dimension. This accidentally affected the duck world, which caused Howard to fall into the 'reality bond' and escape from the other end of the bond. , that is, fell out of the swamp vortex in Florida, Earth 616.

Since then, he has not thought about going home. Instead, he has settled on Earth 616, driving a taxi at night and working as a detective during the day, working very hard.

"Do you know me?" The duck waddled out of the cage, flapping his suit and feathers: "Duck God, I thought I was going to die. Fortunately, I convinced those monsters to think that I was a seagull. , eating marine garbage every day for a living, and the body is full of toxins.”

The strange duck had human-like limbs, but was covered with white feathers and had a duck head on top. He stretched out his hand to shake the death knell, almost squeezing out two tears.

"You are already safe. It just so happens that the ultimate Spider-Man in your world is also here. I will ask him to take you back later." Su Ming took out a cigarette and threw it to the duck to calm him down: "But you haven't Answer my question, why are you in the Heir family dungeon?"

The strange duck who got rid of the restraints used magic to create a small flame, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said very depressedly: "This is a long story. Are you people from a parallel world? You may not listen to me even if I say it. Gotta understand.”

Howard the Duck is knowledgeable. After all, they are all imprisoned here. Who knows which parallel world this is.

"Let me tell you first, I am the Supreme Mage." Su Ming suspended his legs cross-legged in mid-air, and tugged on the collar of his cloak to prove his identity.

Howard the Duck knows a little bit of magic, which was taught to him by Doctor Strange in 616. After all, he is a dimensional creature, so he has some talent in this area.

Powerful magic is useless, but he has learned basic shield spells and ignition magic, so Howard the Duck is somewhat related to Kama Taj's lineage.

Oh, there is no Kama Taj on Earth 616. Everyone has died long ago. Even Monaco, who had some connection with it, is dead. Only Strange and Xiao Wang are left.

This kind of poor relative who only cares about his own life and has given up the inheritance of nearly a thousand years of ancestors still doesn't think it's good, then it's okay.

After hearing what Deathstroke said, the duck had nothing to hide, and then everyone walked out while telling the tragic story.

In fact, it’s not that tragic, because Captain America died in 616, right? Therefore, as an unregistered Howard the Duck in the Civil War, he was considered an unregistered faction and was wanted.

It's not that he doesn't want to register, it's mainly because the clerk thinks he's a duck because he doesn't have a social security account and can't prove his identity, so they won't register him.

Wei Ya wanted to apply for a new social security account, but another group of staff believed that the information he provided was not comprehensive enough to prove that he was born in the United States, so they first asked him to apply for a nationality certificate.

He went to apply for citizenship again, but the new staff said again that the United States had no precedent of granting citizenship to ducks. If he really wanted American citizenship, he would either marry an American or invest a certain amount of money.

So he was going to discuss marriage with his girlfriend and her girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, but the ex-boyfriend insisted on blaming a duck for marrying him, otherwise he would S\u0026M him to death, because he was a duck, not a human, so he couldn't protected by law.

The frightened Howard the Duck began to think of ways to prove that he was a human being, and went to the hospital for biological identification or something.

But he does not have medical insurance and cannot afford the cost. If he wants to apply for medical insurance, he must first submit a tax certificate.

And issuing a tax certificate requires...

As he spoke, Howard the Duck shed tears because it was so difficult to prove himself as a human being in the United States.

"So you have been traveling between major government departments these years, and you have to avoid the Immigration Bureau and the Sky Hammer Bureau from getting into trouble for you, and at the same time, you can't let your girlfriend's ex-boyfriend catch you, right?"

Su Ming's expression was very complicated. It was a kind of aggrieved feeling that he wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh.

"Yes, I usually drive a taxi to make money, so as not to starve to death on the streets." The strange duck sighed. The hydrophobic feathers did not touch tears at all, which was very good.

"Then you were caught here by the heirs who smelled the totem." Su Ming knew that taxi drivers in New York were the most likely to get into trouble.

Especially when driving a sports car at night, African Americans with bulging arms often stop the car and say they want to go somewhere in the highlands or along the Hudson River, which are remote places with absolutely no one around in the middle of the night... .

"Just like you said."

The strange duck lowered his head and spread his hands. He was actually thinking about returning to his hometown now, but he just couldn't let go of his girlfriend.

His girlfriend, Chloe, is 19 years old and is a very beautiful Latin model. Although she takes drugs, drinks, swears, and takes her ex-boyfriend to play with Howard every time, she is a good girl.

Deathstroke rolled his eyes and remembered something, then patted the duck on the shoulder and said kindly:

"This matter is actually easy to solve. I'll tell Spider-Man for you later, and Parker Industries will help you handle it all."

"But the law stipulates..."

Although the strange duck was happy that someone could help, he didn't think he could succeed.

After all, I look like a duck in the eyes of humans in the main dimension. How can I prove that I am a human?

Su Ming handed him a can of beer and asked him to relax with a smile: "In the United States, the law is not as powerful as money. If you have money, you can really do whatever you want. By the way, my name is Deathstroke. I am not only the Supreme Mage, but also the Supreme Mage." Do you want to know about some ways to make a fortune?"
