The Death Knell

The so-called Stump Street was not far from the location of the police station. The police sergeant drove the three of them and drove there for seven or eight minutes.

Generally speaking, this place looks more like a dormitory area in a factory. There are old-fashioned apartment buildings on the roadside. Many workers wearing plaid shirts and suspender jeans are wandering on the street. It seems that it is lunch time.

Parking the car under a wide and low apartment building, the police chief took out the list and took a look:

"Mrs. Shandham lives in a room on the second floor here. However, she is relatively old and her heart may not be able to withstand the stimulation. It is better for me to communicate with her. The masters should stop talking after we go upstairs."

Although he looks like a red-necked roughneck, Sheriff Daltrey is surprisingly attentive. He even takes the age of the residents into consideration.

But there is a problem, that is, several hours have passed since the old lady called the police, and there is no doubt whether her heart is still in her chest.

The Sheriff may have thought of this possibility, but in his heart he obviously preferred that the person be alive, and he always considered the best situation when he was on parole.

However, Strangulation has already smelled the smell of blood, the blood of many people, and the body odor of the monster. The outside of the apartment building looks calm, but inside...

"I'll go to the front, Professor Xu and the Sheriff will go in the middle, and Leo, you will come to the back." Su Ming didn't say much, but just gave the order to prepare for battle. Then he walked to the apartment, wearing a suit when he entered the building door. It instantly turned into black and yellow armor.

The door of the old apartment building was a little dark inside. Deathstroke's red eyepiece moved like a will-o'-the-wisp, and he could see the general situation clearly.

The internal structure of this building is more like an old-fashioned dormitory, with a corridor that can be seen from the end, and then symmetrical rooms on both sides.

"Two masters, something doesn't seem right here?" Leonid was also observing the environment. He had turned into a humanoid nebula.

In fact, Su Ming didn't need to answer anything. Even the police chief felt it. When he entered the building and smelled the faint fishy-sweet smell, he became silent. Even his expression was like a toothache of suppressed anger.

"Don't you even look at the atmosphere when you ask questions? Something has obviously happened." Xu Xian's mask also turned into an expressionless face. She floated in the air and first put a magic protection on the police chief. , and then give myself another one.

"Ted, is the target moving?" Su Ming picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.

"It's moving. If it's not on the road, it's in the sewer." The monster in the swamp replied simply.

"Leo, you accompany the police chief to block the sewer entrance of this building. Professor Xu, you and I will do it." Su Ming patted himself on the shoulder and asked Strangler to start tracking the smell.

He had known for a long time that the monster should rely on the sewers to move around the city, and the smell in the sewers was relatively complicated. It was likely that the smell of strangulation alone would be lost. After all, if the monster had been diving under the cesspool, strangulation would not be smelled.

But with the help of human-like perception, we can achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two, just like a sledgehammer hitting a wall and then a small hammer slipping away.

Returning to the street, he lifted up a manhole cover on the side of the road. Su Ming simply jumped down. Everyone in the building was already dead. There was no need to look. He was the closest to the monster now, so chasing him directly was the best solution.

Strangler and the humanoid have been providing tracking information, and Su Ming's control over the sewer environment is unparalleled. Just three minutes later, he and Professor Xu blocked the so-called monster near an underground sedimentation tank.

It is hidden under the water, but there is no way to go. The barrier formed by the light ring completely isolates the surroundings.

Looking at the sewage at his feet, Deathstroke slowly raised his arm. Golden light flowed down his forearm, condensing into a scimitar-shaped lightsaber in his hand.

Both Strangler and Humanoid said that the enemy was right in front of them, and there was no need to run away this time. Deathstroke nodded to Professor Xu, and the woman immediately began to form seals and cast spells, turning all the sewage into clouds.

However, the monster that emerged from the water was not the monsters that Deathstroke had imagined, but a person, a familiar person.

But it was obvious that this was not the person Deathstroke knew. Whether it was his crazy expression or his beast-like roar, he did not look like a normal person.

"Dr. Richards?"

Su Ming asked tentatively. In the darkness, his voice spread far away, but he only received wild laughter from the other party:

"Hahahaha! I'm still alive! I'm here! I'll always be here!"

Obviously, this Reed Richards was not the one killed by Deathstroke, otherwise Su Ming would not have tested him with words, but just went up with a sword.

Although it looks like it, he is a character from another parallel universe.

He was also wearing the uniform of the Fantastic Four, which was tattered and bright red. The Arabic numeral '4' on his chest was written like an earthworm. Not to mention that when he opened his mouth to laugh wildly, he had eaten the food he had eaten before. The crumbs of human entrails tumbled in his throat.

"Reed? Can you hear me?" Su Ming looked at the man crawling around on the bottom of the pool with all four limbs like a beast, nodded to Professor Xu again, and asked her to prepare an attack spell.

"Hear it! I hear it! He hears it too! He's coming, coming, coming...flesh, I gotta live, give me flesh!"

The crazy man's emotions changed many times just by saying a word. First he was afraid, then excited, then depressed, and finally returned to fear. He was even so scared that he directly launched an attack on the two Deathstrokes floating in the air.

I don’t know what kind of crazy logic made him connect flesh and life, but obviously, he was just driven by some existence to use a weapon to kill the Supreme Mage in the seventeenth dimension.

Reed, who originally looked like a human, turned into a ball of mud-like material. Arms surged out from his bulging and rotting body, rising from the ground like giant snakes and grabbing at the two of them.

Those tentacle-like arms also lifted him off the ground, as if he were walking on stilts, dancing wildly in the air with the ball of meat on his head.

"In the name of Faltin's fire, I will burn you to ashes, go!"

Professor Xu, who was well prepared, threw a small flame. She understood the meaning of the death knell. It was originally to test whether the enemy had magic resistance. Of course, she had to choose the attack magic that released the fastest and least cost.

Most beasts and monsters are afraid of fire, so there is no problem in choosing fire magic.

She also modified the magic, and the small flame floated like a glowing red cloud and landed on the ball of flesh named Reed.

Between the thousands of strangling tentacles and the countless arms of each other, the two seemed to hear a crisp ding, and then the flames went out, as if they had never existed.

"This is interesting. He seems to be protected by some high-level energy and has the ability to be immune to magic. Of course, it may be that Faltin's Fire is too weak."

Su Ming watched Strangler fight with Madman Reed, while he was still holding a sword and chatting with Professor Xu.

The white cloud-like woman rolled her eyes, her blood-red mouth pouted:

"My magic is not weak. This is a brand new version that I modified using the principle of white scale incendiary bombs. After hitting the target, it will continue to burn like a maggot attached to the bone. Although the flames are a little smaller, they are definitely not easy to extinguish. , it’s really magic resistant.”

Su Ming shrugged his shoulders. He didn't understand magic, so it would be better to assume that what the little white cat said was true. He nodded and said, "If Falting hears what you say, he will be moved to tears. But I still strongly advise you not to try its teleportation spell, it’s really a nightmare.”
