The Death Knell

The moment the door opened, Su Ming was fully prepared for battle. Not only had he activated the cosmic energy and ten light rings, he was also ready to strangle to protect everyone, and the adjutant's teleportation reinforcements were even more ready at any time.

The breath behind the door was strange and powerful, with a meaning that was difficult to describe in words.

It's like staring into the endless void, the sense of desolation at the end of the line of sight, and like the distant darkness at the end of all things, which makes people's hearts become cold. This seems to awaken the unknown deep in human genes. of fear.

But unexpectedly, there was nothing behind the door, except for a dark nebula, like the remaining flowing black mist, like ink sliding on a blackboard.

For ten seconds, thirty seconds, and one minute, everyone remained in a vigilant formation, but still no enemy came.

"Slade, what's behind the door? I don't see anything, ape, but I feel out of breath."

The man who was captured by the cloak huddled behind Su Ming, with a tangled expression on his black-haired face. On the one hand, it was the curiosity of the detective, and on the other hand, the dangerous intuition of the beast, making him war between heaven and man.

"Don't move, I'll go over and take a look." Su Ming patted the animal secretary on the head, and at the same time signaled Diana and the others to stay alert with his eyes.

He planned to go to the door and take a look. Although there was only a crack in the center of the golden door, the golden substance that looked like vines and tentacles on the door was still squirming not long ago, and it didn't look like anything fun.

It is still unknown what is behind the door, but in the end we have to close the door first and then find a way to get the Alchemy Stone back.

Of course, he wouldn't go over to peek by himself, but would just use his strangulating tentacles to reach over.

The symbiote is one with him, and the pairs of crescent eyes on the tentacles are naturally Su Ming's eyes. If we really count, he may have more eyes than C'Thun in Azeroth.

The black tentacles spread along the ground towards the door, and he glanced at the other side of the door from the position that looked like a crack in the shield.

"Hey."

Strangulation means there is nothing, either the other side forgot to turn on the lights, or it is really just nothingness.

"That's not right. If it's empty, where does that aura like that of a high-level predator come from?" Su Ming walked towards the golden door and looked outside with the symbiote.

But he saw something that Zhuo Zhu didn't see. The moment he looked out, countless eyes suddenly opened in the darkness!

Those eyes that glowed yellow and looked like dead fish looked at him at the same time, and suddenly a lot of inexplicable knowledge poured into Su Ming's mind.

There are worlds in those eyes, with perfect light surrounding the heaven and earth. They are rotating rapidly, giving gifts to those who open the door while their owners are emotionless.

That is a vast amount of knowledge, which may change a person in just a moment. All the vicissitudes of life flash through the invisible flesh and blood. Inhuman wisdom transcends the categories of matter and space.

Fortunately, the strangulation was not affected. The moment it discovered that the host had seen something, it slammed the door shut.

The communication between the eyes was blocked, and Su Ming suddenly felt relaxed, as if he drank an ice-cold soda after running wildly for a day. The stimulation made his brain hurt a little, but the pleasure after drinking the cold drink occupied more of his mind. Senses.

"Hey?"

"It's okay, closing the door is the right thing." Su Ming took a deep breath and used his willpower to make himself forget the out-of-body joy. He shook his head and took out a cigarette: "Things that even x metal can't stop. Intrusion? Just because there was eye contact, what the hell is that?"

While taking out the alchemy stone from the metal vine-shaped door, he examined his mind.

He found that he had inexplicably mastered some skills in oil painting, and also learned a method of counting by knotting animal skins. The owner of those eyes may not even know what gifts were given.

"What did you see?"

The man who always likes to inquire about all kinds of news trotted to the feet of the death knell. He raised his head and wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

Su Ming, who was smoking a cigarette, thrust his hand into the golden door panel. The vine-like carvings wrapped around his arm, but he still grabbed the alchemy stone from the same position where it went in:

"There's nothing. There's a women's restroom over there. Although it's not for humans, I'm sure it's a restroom."

The orangutan detective suddenly showed a desperate expression. He didn't believe what Deathstroke said at all, but he still wanted to show that he believed it: "Oh, the toilet, that's good."

"Don't worry about those details. I want this alchemy stone. Is it okay?"

The death knell held the stone tightly in its hand. It struggled fiercely, as if it wanted to merge with the door, but it was unable to achieve this when the holder was on guard.

"Don't you plan to return it to the female knight?" Xiao Dai is obviously a good person, and she still wants to return the property to its original owner: "How can I explain to that knight?"

"She can't keep it even if I give it to her. Society is moving forward, but I guess she won't even have a safe there." Su Ming shook her head and refused, and put the small stone into her pocket: "Don't forget Merlin always comes back from the dead. If we kill him today, maybe he will come back in a few years or a few months. It is safest for me to keep this thing."

He picked out a few fingers from the pile of meat to use as props for cross-fertilization, then took the clothes that Merlin had left aside, and gave them to the female knight. Just saying that the alchemy stone and Merlin exploded together, what else could she say?

When the time comes, Sir Brad will ask her to go shopping and play, and buy a house wherever she wants to settle down. Isn't modern society much more comfortable than in ancient times?

The orangutan detective rolled his eyes, and he made a clever suggestion: "How about we blow up the Avalon dimension? The Knights of the Round Table from the Camelot era are buried there, and Merlin's soul may also be connected there. "

But before he finished speaking, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he hid behind Deathstroke's legs again.

Because Diana looked at him like a scumbag and pursed her lips tightly. Seeing that the orangutan knew he was wrong, she shook her head and rejected the proposal:

"King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are good people. We cannot destroy their bodies and the resting places of their souls. Otherwise, even if we can completely eliminate Merlin, it is not worth it. This is not what a hero does, right? Slade?"

She also looked at Su Ming with big eyes, wanting to get assurance that he would not do this.

"I won't blow up Avalon, even though I can do it, not because I want to be a hero, but because after we killed Merlin just now, the Black Lantern Ring did not detect any souls that could be used. In other words, that pile of flesh It's just a body, either Merlin's soul was sold to someone thousands of years ago, or he has escape techniques that I haven't seen before."

Su Ming shook his head and patted Wonder Woman's arm and replied, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about the innocent soul claiming his life for the time being.

"Let's go, let's leave here. I'll give the alchemy stone to my people to study. If there are results after a while, I will come up with ways to move this door. Adjutant, teleport us to the Dark Hall of Justice."
