The Death Knell

The light of the torches in the castle swayed slightly in the wind, and some stale smells were slowly released into the air from the damp corners. Even if there were a large number of cleaning robots working, the brick joints of the stone buildings could never be clean all the time. net.

Following Adam, the butler in military uniform, through the corridor, Su Ming came to the living room. A long table was covered with a white tablecloth, and a lot of dishes were already displayed.

The master of the castle was sitting on the main seat waiting for the guests to arrive. The shadow under the green hood completely obscured his face, even though he could not be said to have a face in the first place.

"I'm back, Victor."

Deathstroke did not take a seat at the long table, but still allowed the symbiote to sweep away the roasted suckling pig on the table and stuff it into its mouth full of fangs.

"Mage Supreme, our communication has just ended. Doom guesses that you have manipulated time again." Doctor Doom saw that Deathstroke had no intention of eating and chatting, so he stood up and made an invitation gesture towards the rear passage: "It seems you don't want to eat, then let's go to the lab to talk."

"The Supreme Mage's manipulation of time is nothing new. Haha, no matter what, I will come to see you right away."

Deathstroke patted the butler beside him on the shoulder, indicating that he no longer needed to serve, and then he and Doom walked towards the depths of the castle:

"So, let's talk about Element Zero. I will decide whether to lend you the Cosmic Cube. You have to understand that that little thing is very powerful. I can't give it to you for random experiments."

"Dum understands that if it were Doom, he would have the same idea." The two walked into an elevator and quickly went to the underground of the castle through it: "But you will know after Doom explains. The need to do this.”

The underground laboratory is still the same, but there are two more children than before.

At this time, the two little guys were watching a movie on the large screen that Doom usually monitors the country. It was the new "Resident Evil" film recently produced by Wilson Entertainment.

"Are you sure it's appropriate for you and Susan's children to watch zombie movies so early?" When Su Ming saw the two children turning to look at him, he reached out and touched their heads: "Although Franklin and Valeria are not ordinary children, But you and I both know what this so-called movie is about.”

The 'little rich' who was rescued from the cancerous universe, that Franklin has long lost interest in flesh and blood, and this 40K Franklin von Doom is obviously in love with watching bloody documentaries.

"Dum knows that you haven't been able to write anymore since Resident Evil 30, so these so-called movies are actually real videos of you conducting biochemical virus experiments in a certain timeline or single world, and the so-called protagonist is not the protagonist. , just a survivor.”

Doom, whose voice had a metallic texture, answered this way, and his eyes behind the mask looked at his children with tenderness:

"But Doom thinks it's good for them to see this. At least they can understand that if they fall behind, they will be treated as toys. My children cannot be flowers in the greenhouse."

"Tsk, it's hard to imagine Susan supporting your point of view." Su Ming shook his head and gave the two children some toys brought back from the Dark Tower. To put it bluntly, they were obtained in the city of the Northern Positronics Industrial Group. Game Console: "It seems that she is still busy with the company's affairs in the United States?"

"She wants to have her own career." Doctor Doom simply replied.

After gaining access to the dark side of the Dark Tower world, it's easy for Deathstroke to find whatever he wants there.

Although these two handheld consoles are average in terms of pixels and operating feel, for video games, those who have never played them are good games.

"Thank you, Uncle Slade." Franklin lowered his head and just played. He was particularly easy to enter a state of concentration. But Valeria, who was as big as a brat, thanked Deathstroke in a sweet voice, and she also showed a cute smile with missing teeth.

"You're welcome, have fun, but it seems a little early for you to change your teeth. Did you eat too much candy?" Su Ming pinched her little face and shook her head with a smile.

"I don't. Although it is not easy for children to have high blood sugar problems because their metabolism is faster, eating too much sugar is not good for my balanced diet and can easily lead to obesity or malnutrition." The girl clicked her teeth and nodded with her fingers. The position of the front teeth, answered seriously.

Su Ming rubbed his neck and patted the girl's head: "I understand, you are a good boy. Let's play games. Your father and I have something to discuss."

The girl nodded and got together with her brother. They seemed to be planning to study the online function of this new toy.

Deathstroke spread his hands and returned to Doctor Doom, followed him to the console at the end of the laboratory, and whispered: "Not only do they grow and develop faster, but they also know too much for a two-year-old child. You Have you checked?"

"Of course, but Doom thinks there is no problem, let's get down to business, Slade." Doctor Doom's face was hidden behind the mask, and his specific expression could not be seen, but from his voice, he seemed to be a little proud.

Deathstroke didn't go into details. He walked to the huge console and found a chair to sit down. This lightless environment was much more comfortable.

"I'm listening." He took out a cigarette and lit it, and immediately a miniature Doom robot brought an ashtray: "You told me about the 'afterbirth' before, and then showed me a model."

"Yeah, remember our previous trip in negative space?"

Doctor Doom began to operate the equipment, and the irregular diamond-shaped structure was projected again here. It looked a bit like enlarged MSG particles, but it was lavender:

"After coming out of there, Doom has been studying the nature of space. The focus of his research is the portal between the positive and negative matter realms. Doom wants to know how it connects the positive and negative universes 'stable and simultaneously'."

"That's it, because according to the currently known theory, whether it is positive matter or negative matter, once it comes into contact with each other, an annihilation phenomenon similar to the loss of energy levels will occur. Compared with the reaction when antimatter and positive matter come into contact, the reaction is more violent and more intense. fast."

Although Deathstroke is not a professional scientist, he still knows these basic common sense.

Doctor Doom nodded. He crossed his arms and raised his head to look at the projected rhombus crystal block, watching it slowly rotate in the darkness:

"Yes, at that time the Insect King used its cosmic baton to open the portal to our main dimension and launched an insect wave invasion. Doom was very curious about the material that made up the portal, but it was not until recently that Doom came from beyond I got some inspiration from the library left by the Protoss, and finally discovered the existence of Element Zero."

"Well, continue, this is not a critical thing." Su Ming flicked the ashes from his cigarette and took out another bottle of wine to drink, as if he were at home.

"Dum has conducted many experiments, but the atomic structure of element zero cannot be condensed in conventional space. The atoms will naturally decompose into seven structures, forming seven unstable lattices, and then fall apart at the quantum level. Only Because pure products of creation are incompatible with our reality,”

Doom turned his palm, indicating that Deathstroke should understand it at this point.

The Master Supreme indeed understands that Doctor Doom wants to use the Cosmic Cube to create a 'specific experimental environment' on earth that can allow the birth of Element Zero. For this matter, he must either find the Reality Stone or borrow the Cosmic Cube, Doom He chose to inform Deathstroke because he knew who the real controller of this earth was.

He has always been very smart, and he even understands the ways of the world, but that is actually not important. What Su Ming is more concerned about is that this powerful mage seems to have used scientific methods to find out some secrets about 'Seven'.
