The Death Knell

Sprinkle the salt and rub it again. Needless to say, you can actually see some effects.

Meatball Reed seemed to be in great pain. He twisted like a bug, bounced up and down to get rid of the attack, and even let out a painful curse:

"I can't die! I want to live! Flesh, flesh, no!"

He seems to have a strong desire to survive, but this desire is distorted. He seems to have no idea why he wants to live, or even realize what he is doing.

Because his resistance was futile, it was impossible for him to escape by strangulation.

The large grains of salt crystals were spread evenly on his body by Deathstroke with superb techniques, and the total amount of one ton was obviously more than enough. Reed could transform, but he could not change his total volume. These salts were given to him A grave mound is enough.

"Teacher Xu, let's do another magic."

Seeing that the mucus on Reed's body seemed to be dry, and since he was not going to be eaten, he naturally couldn't be washed with water. Reed was almost physically immune, so Su Ming asked Xu Xian to light up the fire and try to barbecue.

Still using the little flame spell, the erratic red clouds trembled and fell on the target in the darkness.

This time, Reed successfully penetrated the opponent's magic defense, and Reed immediately burned like a candle wick.

The fat in his body seemed to be quite sufficient, and it made a crackling sound when it burned, and the sound of his screams was so beautiful that Su Ming couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"It seems that salt is really useful." Professor Xu began to form seals, and she was about to change to a more powerful magic: "This is not just a chemical effect, what do you think?"

"It's not true. That kind of mucus contains a kind of chaotic energy. Your magic was offset by that energy before, but obviously the salt destroyed Reed's ability to secrete mucus, and the energy supply was also interrupted. This is not his Ability is more like a plug-in given by someone."

Seeing this situation, Su Ming put away his lightsaber. There was no need to take action himself.

"Actually, I don't know if Master Su has noticed one thing. There is a tradition and history of using salt to ward off evil spirits in many places around the world." Professor Xu used a special air magic this time to remove the energy from Reed's body. The liquid vaporizes, allowing it to be expelled from the body, while talking about the research topic.

"I really know this. According to our domestic customs, after someone moves into an old house that has not been occupied for a long time, salt will be sprinkled in the yard and a brazier will be lit to ward off bad luck. This custom was later adopted by the little devils and The stick guys learned it, and the stick guys also applied for the UNESCO World Heritage status of spreading salt to ward off evil spirits."

After all, he is a celestial soul, so these things are still familiar to him.

As a professional scholar, Professor Xu nodded first and then added with a smile:

"In some parts of Europe, people would sprinkle salt on the cracks of windows, thinking that this would prevent ghosts from entering their homes through the windows. This custom was later brought to the United States. In Russia, people sometimes sprinkle salt on their heads. , used to pray for the arrival of good luck and the departure of bad luck. In some parts of Africa, salt is used as a tribute to the gods. People firmly believe that it can drive away evil. The Egyptians and Mayans even used salt to make mummies. They believed that salt is full of pure energy. So the interesting thing is here, these are old traditions that have lasted for thousands of years, but thousands of years ago, people living in different parts of the earth had no contact with each other at all, so why do they all worship salt in a different way?"

After mentioning her professional field, Professor Xu seemed a little excited, and her mask changed back to that of a cat, as if she didn't care about Reid who was screaming not far away.

"It seems that you are not only a historian, but also a folklorist?" Su Ming smiled and took off his mask, lit a cigarette and watched Reed burning, and also watched Strangler patiently turn the meat ball over to spread the fire. Junjun: "I definitely don't have the answer to the question you don't even know. Maybe I can ask Teacher Gu Yi in the future."

The little white cat crossed his arms and smiled: "I actually have a hypothesis, that is, a long time ago, perhaps in some hidden historical period, there was a global threat, and the attacker that time was probably Possessing ghost-like abilities, but ultimately defeated by salt everywhere in the world.”

"So today, even though people can't remember why they use salt to ward off evil spirits, they still have such a unified tradition, right?" Su Ming smiled and agreed with the other party's guess, and also took out a bottle of soda for the professor to moisten his throat. : "If you write a paper using this, I will definitely read it."

"Then it's agreed, Meow." After the battle, her strange oral habit emerged again, followed by the sound of a kitten drinking soda like licking water: "miamiamia..."

Looking at Reed at the bottom of the sedimentation tank, he has become the fuel for a raging fire, motionless under the strangulation.

Although the Flame of Faltin is a bit weaker, it is at least a type of magical flame. It is easy to burn someone without magic resistance.

It's just that its lethality is not strong, and the process of burning people to death is very long, so this Reid should have been tortured to death by steam magic in the pain of flames.

But...it's quite delicious when roasted.

Su Ming, who was watching and smoking, tried to activate the 'life transfer' on him, but he did not gain any life span, indicating that he was really dead.

"Strangle, look at the intelligence in his head."

"Hey?"

Strangler immediately complied with the instructions, but only then did it discover that Reed's body also had no brain, and even no organs in its belly, which was exactly the same as the body that Deathstroke had picked up before...

Deathstroke frowned and quickly landed on the ground. The God Killer appeared in his hand, and the corpse was disemboweled in a flash of golden light.

"Meow~~~" Professor Xu took a breath of cold air, and she also narrowed her eyes: "Does this situation mean that the matter is not over yet?"

"This situation corresponds to my backup plan C. Passive defense is not my character. From the beginning, I came to arrest this guy just to protect Leonid's safety in this town and accumulate a little Some information. If you want to really solve the problem, you must go to the seventeenth dimension to see the situation."

Su Ming was still calm and took out a few more incendiary bombs to destroy Reed's body. He smiled and nodded to the professor. The flames illuminated his face, bringing bursts of warmth and stench:

"I wonder if Professor Xu is interested in going to another dimension with me? In the past, most of the knowledge in the dimension was controlled by Karma Taj, but now I feel that with respectable masters like you, Karma Taj and I have Friends, you should also be eligible to go to other dimensions for training or inspection."

A smile appeared on the cat's face, and she nodded happily: "Then the little lady will continue to bother you for a while, hehe."

"It's easy to say, but I still have to arrange some things, at least to guard the reality hub here. In addition, I have to call a few helpers. All kinds of clues tell me that this matter may not be solved easily, so preparations must be sufficient. Some."

Su Ming recalled his cloak, spread it out in mid-air, and made a gesture of invitation to the professor. The two of them wanted to return to the ground first.
