The Death Knell

In fact, Su Ming originally thought that Zheng Xian would not send someone of the level of Professor Xu, because he was suspected of using a bull's-eye to kill a chicken, but it seemed that Old Zheng attached great importance to matters involving the First Emperor's Mausoleum, and directly sent the top level of the Divine Spear Bureau. One of the strong ones.

Professor Xu has never taken off her mask, just like the cat mask is her real body. The origin of this woman is mysterious, and no one even knows her specific age, but it has only been more than ten years since her appearance. He has suddenly emerged as one of the top magicians in the universe.

In addition to her powerful magic, she also has elemental skills, which can turn herself into a cloud or a ball of light, allowing her to strike quickly or be immune to the opponent's attacks.

She called herself Xian Xu. Su Ming had suspected in the past that she might be an immortal or some kind of bearded creature that became a spirit, because sometimes when people called her name Xu Xian, she would be in a daze, as if she was unconscious. He was calling himself.

But later, Su Ming ruled out these possibilities, because if she was really a fairy or a spirit, she would be too girly.

Not only does she always dress up like a cute cat, she also gives herself the magical name 'Cinderella', which is Cinderella. She dreams of meeting a handsome prince and likes pink and white trinkets. , and some cute mouth fetishes.

He sounds like a 'normal' magician.

But she is also very capable in other areas.

She is not only the highest-ranking occult consultant of the Divine Spear Bureau, but she is also a professor of history, archeology and ancient linguistics at many top universities in China, a doctoral tutor, and enjoys a national academician allowance. She spends a lot of time doing research. , is a true patriot who devotes his time to education.

Xu Xian is also quite low-key in her work. If it weren't for the fact that her ability after elementalization was so similar to Gin's ability to control the fog, Su Ming might not have noticed her in the past.

The research on the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and the Eye of the Ancestral Dragon was led and responsible for by Xu Xian, so it was probably because she heard about Shangqi that this time she was furious and asked to go out and take action.

The Eye of the Ancestral Dragon is a good thing and one of the more famous treasures of the Qin Dynasty. If you know its spell, it can make people immortal.

The principle is similar to the Eternal Ruhr Crystal in Su Ming's hand, but it is simpler and cruder. First, the user picks up the Dragon Eye and recites the incantation to activate the treasure, and then the devotee recites the incantation and sacrifices his life.

These sacrificed lives will be transferred to the holder of the dragon eye, thereby achieving a series of wonderful effects such as rejuvenation, immortality and so on.

As for the person who gave his life, he naturally turned into ashes.

Yes, it sounds like it has a lot of side effects. Most mages don't like it, but one thing to note is that as long as you know the spell and can speak Chinese, anyone can use this treasure. You can just grab a homeless man from the street. .

Many European and American politicians are greedy for anything that can bring about immortality.

The first person to hear that China had this treasure was probably the mustache from Germany. Later, the Red Skull found out about it, so Hydra sent Whitehall to establish a branch in South Asia and has been stealing certain items in Tibet. Some things to study the subject of eternal life.

Later, Germany was defeated, Hydra apparently surrendered, and the Allies implemented Project Paperclip. This news was learned by Britain and the United States as a large number of scientists surrendered.

Since then, all kinds of foreign thieves or swindlers have appeared in the territory of China.

Because of the existence of Kama Taj and Kunlun, those people did not dare to be forceful, so at first they tried to cheat and sneak attacks did not work, and they gradually changed to cultivating the second and fifth sons within the Celestial Dynasty.

However, Lao Zheng usually deals with these matters. If Ginjiu hadn't accidentally mentioned the existence of Shang-Chi this time, Su Ming might not have been able to think of it.

It's like we're about to kill the gods. An ant sneaks into the house and wants to steal a grain of rice. It's really hard to notice if no one reminds us.

"mia..." Professor Xu drank another glass of wine and made a strange smacking sound before suppressing her anger. She picked up the bottle again, poured it for herself, and changed the topic: "The Supreme Mage looks like I didn’t know that I would be involved in this matter, so I’m not here to be a supervisor, so do you just come to Wumen Bar to relax?”

As she spoke, the big eyes on her cat-face mask became sharp, as exaggerated as Usagi-chan.

Out of curiosity, she is also a regular customer here. She usually comes here to drink after work. She has never seen the Supreme Mage appear in Wumen Bar in the past.

"I originally came here to find Monaco. I wanted to get some information and see if anyone has seen Teacher Yao appear recently." Su Ming also drank a glass. Zhuyeqing wine is relatively refreshing and suitable for drinking in a small cup.

Professor Xu nodded, with a look of understanding on her face: "Mr. Yao is talking about Master Gu Yi, right? I've heard of her. It's said that she is a super strong person who can conquer eternity by one person. It's a pity that I'm too young. Even if I may not recognize her even if I have seen her somewhere.”

"Oh? How young?" Su Ming stared at her cat face and raised his eyebrows: "Besides, Master Gu Yi is actually quite easy to recognize because she has an unforgettable hairstyle."

She immediately shook her head and laughed:

"A girl's age is a secret, so I won't tell you. Anyway, Master Deathstroke only needs to know that I am very young. Also, is it really okay for you to tell me that your teacher is bald?"

"Master Gu Yi won't care. She has never worn the wig I gave her in the past." Su Ming waved his hand. Gu Yi didn't care about the external skin. She is a very practical person: "And you I’m not a graduate of Kama Taj, so there’s no need to always call me Master Deathstroke, my surname is Su, and it’s just one word.”

As he spoke, he let Zhu Zhu change his face, returning to the black hair and yellow skin of his previous life, and gently clinked glasses with the professor.

Seeing this face, Professor Xu was obviously a little surprised. He blinked his big eyes and scratched his head: "But Director Zheng said you are just a 'fake foreigner'. Isn't your Wilson Enterprises headquartered in New York? Why. ....."

"So Lao Zheng is just a stinky Qigong practitioner. What kind of magic does he know?" Su Ming interrupted the professor with a smile and gestured for a toast: "Master Gu Yi is also pretending to be a Nepali. Among the masters in Kunlun, there are There are Russians who disguise themselves as old men, come out to mess around, and are also lurking abroad. Isn’t it strange that they have several identities?”

"Tsk, let me tell you, it's impossible for a foreigner to speak Chinese as well as you, and to build a market at the foot of the mountain to be ridiculous." Professor Xu immediately used magic, and the clouds blocked the outside of the card package. Eyes: "Director Zheng lost to me again this time. He always boasts that he has known you for more than seventy years and how good our relationship is. Meow haha! I'm laughing so hard!"

"His situation is different from yours. After all, sitting in that position, if he knew that I was 'one of his', his shameless guy would definitely have to fight with Kama Taj every day." Su Ming smiled and changed back. The one-eyed face picked up an onion ring and ate it: "Vishan Emperor only protects the earth, Kama Taj is the force that borrows their power to protect mankind. I can't let him wander around here."

Xu Xian laughed a few times and shook his head: "I will keep it a secret for you. It also solved some of my doubts. Now I feel relieved. Come on, cheers!"

She raised her wine glass and onion rings, sat down and danced a cat paw dance.

But at this moment, a corpse suddenly fell out of thin air on the table between the two of them!

With a clang, the wine bottle and the plate containing snacks were pushed to the ground. The corpse of the old man, covered in blood and still dying, lay on his back on the table, silently looking at each other with the two people who were originally in a good mood.
