The Death Knell

Through the subway station in Huaxi Village, Modu helped Deathstroke open the teleportation to the Doorless Bar.

"Ahem, I can just go in by myself. You go back and lead the students to replace the new toilet door."

Su Ming didn't want to appear in front of others with Modu, who was wearing an X-shaped black leather strap. It was too easy to be misunderstood.

This is a place where magicians gather. If people see the Supreme Mage acting together with a pervert, even if no one dares to say anything, it will be embarrassing just thinking about it.

Mo Du felt a little regretful. He glanced through the door into the crowded bar, his eyes full of reluctance.

But being abandoned by the master made him even more excited! This is also a kind of play, right? Modu immediately bent down and saluted:

"Your will be obeyed."

After sending away the masochistic exhibitionist, Su Ming whistled and walked into the bar, looking for Monaco.

The Wumen Bar is not as big as the Forgotten Bar, but it has a lot of booth areas. There are only three tables in the middle. Most of the time, some highly respected seniors are sitting there. The seniors are not here. Just empty.

Monaco is only four or five hundred years old, which sounds quite young, but in the magical world, he is just a middle-aged man.

There was no one sitting on the bar. Some wine bottles and beer supply machines were placed on it. There was also a transparent glass jar with raw eggs soaked in wine for five dollars each. Eat them in their shells.

The bar owner saw the Supreme Mage entering the door, the head in the glass jar flying up and down, and smiled to show his respect.

Deathstroke also smiled and waved his hand towards him, indicating that there was no need to make any noise and not to delay the business.

Looking around, because it is deep underground, the environment here is a bit humid, but under the influence of magic, it is quite comfortable.

There are traces of smoke on the black wooden ceiling. There are many people smoking in the bar, but most of the mages smoke their own blend of tobacco, which includes herbs and various other-dimensional plants. Why is it choking, but it has a strange aroma.

A girl in a gypsy costume was drinking with her best friend who was dressed like a Wall Street elite; an African shaman with a gold ring on his nose and dozens of gold rings around his neck was silently counting the items on the table in the booth. peanuts; a group of Indian Asan masters are adding curry that they smuggled into the bar into their beer.

You can find all kinds of weirdos here, but one thing everyone has in common is that everyone is happy and relaxed.

There is no jukebox here, but there is a magic vinyl record player on the bar. You can also request songs by voice, but forget about popular songs. The latest songs here are from the World War II era.

Unlike the Forgotten Bar, Bobo likes the bar to be bright and bright, so he installed many light bulbs, almost achieving the same effect as a shadowless lamp.

As for Wumen Bar, only a few tables have a small kerosene lamp, which is useless. The customers are all mages anyway. If you really can't see clearly, you can use magic to strengthen your eyesight.

Monaco looked like he hadn't come yet, so he glanced over and smelled the strangulation. Su Ming didn't find anyone, but other acquaintances did see a few.

He walked towards a card bag, where a slender woman in white was drinking alone.

She is dressed a bit like Moon Knight, with a white hooded cloak and many small pockets hanging on the white tights. The difference is that she also wears a cute cat face mask on her face, with only four whiskers in total. , there is still lipstick on the cat's mouth.

He picked up the wine glass and placed it on the cat's mouth of the mask. With the sound of a kitten licking milk, the liquid level of the wine in the glass began to drop. There was no need to take off the mask.

After finishing a glass of wine, she wiped the corner of the cat's mouth with her backhand and made a smacking sound of 'miamia'.

"Haha, Professor Xu seems to have finished his work and is here to relax?"

Su Ming sat opposite the masked man and greeted her in Chinese with a smile.

"Ah, hello, Supreme Mage." The woman looked a little surprised, but she replied with a smile: "Don't tell Director Zheng that I came here while on a business trip. I also plan to reimburse the wine money as car travel expenses." It fell."

"We are a family, and Lao Zheng is just a stinky Qigong practitioner who has nothing to do with our mage." Knowing that the other party was joking, Su Ming smiled and lit the oil lamp on the table, and plucked the wick a few times with his fingers: "But it looks like you've got rid of Shangqi?"

"How did you guess that?" Professor Xu pulled up his white cloak and looked at the soles of his shoes. A big puzzlement appeared behind his cat face: "The hands I moved after elementalization were not stained with blood."

"Because... I am the Supreme Mage! Just kidding, let me treat you to a drink. You have eliminated a scourge for the earth." Su Ming changed the topic, raised his hand, rubbed his fingers, and headed towards the bar. Greeting: "Severe! Get a bottle of bamboo leaf greens and cut into half a catty of soy sauce beef."

The wine came quickly, but the only appetizer was fried onion rings. The boss was also helpless. Harvey Heavy's disembodied head floated over and explained: "Supreme Master, we only have Western-style simple meals here. Sauced beef is really delicious." No."

"Your tavern doesn't even have sauced beef. Oh, the money is in trouble. Forget it, remember to make it in the future. The students of Kama Taj love to drink in big bowls and eat big chunks of meat. Nowadays, newcomers in the magic world can't 90% of them came from me."

Su Ming didn't force it. After all, this was an international place, and the boss was responsible for everything. Even if he knew magic but couldn't cook Chinese food, there was nothing he could do.

The boss nodded repeatedly and flew away with a smile, while Professor Xu also covered his mouth with a smile, and the cat eyes on the mask narrowed into a crescent shape: "Hehe, master, are you talking about Kama Taj or water?" Boliang Mountain?"

"There is no difference, we are all doing justice for heaven." Su Ming opened the wine and poured a glass for the lady: "Here, cheers, to thank you for your righteous deed today, and to celebrate that there is another twenty-five boy missing from the earth."

"Oh? I was just following orders and was not familiar with that person, but from what you said, do you know what he has done?" After another sound of a kitten licking water, Professor Xu put down the empty cup. He took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle and refill the wine for the two of them, and began to inquire curiously.

"There are some bad things he hasn't done yet but will do in the future. I retrieved his timeline and story."

Su Ming leaned on the hard back of the booth, crossed his legs and played with the wine glass:

"But the things he did in the past are enough to prove that he is not a kind person. First of all, Shangqi's martial arts comes from the application of 'Qi', and the secrets of Qi practitioners are all in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the 'Eye of the Ancestral Dragon' I have also heard the legend. Although Shangqi’s father is not a good person, he also knows that these secrets cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of the US military and MI6."

"Shangqi was originally ordered by his father to kill Dr. Meyer and his team who had sneaked into the Celestial Dynasty to carry out tomb robbing activities, but he was told by the other party that 'the free world needs power, China is a closed and selfish society, and does not deserve to have power. If you stop us, you will stop us. Convinced by the statement "Human Progress!", he fled to the United States through the intelligence network of the British Army in Burma and joined the so-called Lighthouse of Freedom."

"Using the power of 'qi' while speaking ill of the Celestial Empire is disloyal; betraying the master and betraying the First Emperor's intelligence is unjust; it is understandable not to recognize the villain father, but not to recognize everything of the Zheng family in Henan It is unfilial for a person to not even recognize his ancestors. In the future, he will do many terrible things, and he may even seek refuge with aliens, because many alien planets do not even have laws and are much freer."

"If you don't kill such a person, why don't you keep him alive for the New Year?"

The Supreme Mage said a lot in a low voice and quickly, and after listening to these, Professor Xu's cat mouth turned down to look like Batman, and she sighed:

"You should have given Director Zheng a detailed explanation earlier, so that I would have a reference when I received the mission. It's better now. I regret letting him die too easily. I should have slowly used magic to slash his... "
