The Death Knell

The flaming ghost was sent away, disappearing like toilet paper in a toilet bowl, swirling away in a vortex of flames.

"I thought he was an innocent good man, but I didn't expect that he would be so depraved when he worked as a bodyguard and pimped out Machine Head, huh!"

Jesse expressed her feelings when she saw the man disappearing. At first, she wondered why Deathstroke and the witch were so sure that the man's soul was in hell. Now that he saw it, he was indeed guilty.

"That's not important, little sister. In this period, even if a saint dies, he will fall into hell because heaven is closed." Seeing the girl being so innocent, Alberta touched the girl's head in a funny way, because about the soul The matter is actually very complicated.

There are no completely good people, and there are no pure bad people. Everyone's soul is light gray, like a translucent sheet stained with dust.

“What’s the point of studying other people’s lifestyles when they’re already dead?”

The very realistic Bobo squatted on Deathstroke's shoulder, looked at his little notebook, and said with a click:

"People need to eat when they are alive. What else is there to study about doing things for money? If you have this time, let's think about what the machine leader was watching at home at that time."

"Mirrors were ruled out first."

Su Ming, who agreed with his suggestion, said this and began to walk in the sewer. The sewer of Earth 8 was a bit narrow, but it had a unique charm.

Because it pays homage to the Marvel world, there are monsters in the sewer. Just now he saw a thick and big tail flashing around the corner in the distance.

"Well, let's exclude treasures and bank passwords." Rabbit gradually caught up with the train of thought. He was talking with his three-petal mouth, but his eyes were like the death knell, staring at the place where the big tail appeared in the distance just now.

"Maybe it has something to do with the black beam of light we just saw." The witch's cigarettes and wine were in her left and right hands again, and she was now taking a big sip, feeling very happy.

"But even if it's that kind of weapon, you won't have to die if you see it." Bobo shook his head. He felt that the machine head must have been holding something that couldn't be seen by others, but Said saw it, but thought he didn't see it. s things.

"Could it be something in the quantum state?" Jesse is also a physics major, and she thought of a possibility.

If you look at something and it doesn't exist in reality, then it may be something in the quantum state.

"To be determined, there is such a possibility." Deathstroke patted her shoulder and handed her the prize chocolate with a smile: "Like I said, you are really suitable to be a detective."

"Hey, thank you, but I still don't want to eat in the sewer. Can we go up to the ground?" The girl smiled sheepishly. She scratched her head in a naive manner and made a suggestion.

Not everyone can adapt to the smell of sewers. To be more precise, it was the first time since she was born that she went deep into a place like sewers. The smell was a bit too exciting.

The owner of the big tail at the corner did not appear again. It seemed that he felt the threat of strangulation and had slipped away.

The monster did not intend to use it as a specimen, and Su Ming had no intention of pursuing it:

"Okay, let's go to the ground first, and then go find Big Pepper. If I guess correctly, she should have a small boat reactor in her hand that is not installed on the suit, but put in a box as a souvenir, the first generation version. "

After finding a manhole cover, everyone returned to the ground with the help of the cloak, but in front of them was no longer the bustling New York City, but more like a human purgatory full of chaos.

It turns out that while everyone was chatting with ghosts in the sewers, the sky had turned completely black. Not to mention the black clouds before, when they looked up, they could only see darkness, and even the shadow of the sun had disappeared.

"No wonder, the perception of beasts is so sharp. I asked why the monster in the sewer dared to run a few hundred meters away from me. It turned out to be to escape."

Su Ming looked at the crowds of people running wildly in one direction on the street, calmly let Zhu Zhu raise his visor, and in a hoarse voice began to tell cold jokes that pricked Bobo.

The orangutan who was a professional at picking up the conversation immediately came back. He tilted his head and said, "Ha, I'm really sorry that I don't have any sense of crisis. It's probably because I have too much humanity in my soul, just like you."

"Haha, actually I love you too, man." Deathstroke laughed like an evil spirit, and raised his hand to scratch Bobo's head under his deerstalker hat: "Anyway, people in the city are fleeing now, let's take a guess What happened?"

It was not just pedestrians who were running towards him, but mainly a series of car accidents not far away from the street, which blocked the road, so these people had no choice but to abandon their cars and run away.

"Biohazard, I guess." The orangutan raised his chin and motioned Deathstroke to look at the sky: "I don't have super eyesight, orangutan, but look carefully in the distance to see if it's raining black."

Just like what he said, black rain was happening over a certain area of ​​the city, and the direction people were fleeing was away from there.

"That's the cloud that was blackened by the black light beam before. It's not rain, it's something that looks like rain, carrying dark energy." Alberta squinted her eyes and looked at the sky: "The Stark Tower self-destructed. That It’s Machine Head’s arrangement, but he obviously doesn’t know how to use energy to create voodoo corpses.”

The air has become a little cooler. This is the breath of darkness, which Su Ming is all too familiar with.

It could even be said that he felt more at ease now, as if he was walking in the spring rain and felt that the air was fresh.

Of course, he knew that this was just an illusion, because the energy attribute in his body liked this kind of environment, and the black rain was definitely harmful to carbon-based organisms, because the adjutant had already finished sampling.

She was the first person to notice the color of the sky and the earth, and the first person to notice the pouring of black rain.

"Chief, the true form of 'Black Rain' is a swarm of nanomachines driven by omega energy. They are capturing humans and transforming them into semi-mechanical creatures."

The image of the adjutant floated out, and she also projected some distant scenes for everyone to watch. You can see black 'drizzle' falling on some people who were fleeing, and these people suddenly looked like toys with the power cut off. Fall down.

Then their bodies were wrapped in a black cocoon made of energy, and the transformation was completed within a few seconds, forming a brand new, demon-like winged monster.

"Ah, those pesky Apokolips flies."

Bobo has no favorable impression of any creature that looks like a demon, not to mention that this new creature has more mechanical structures and looks like the work of a machine head.

That guy is really crazy. In order to hold back Deathstroke and his team, he actually started to attack the civilians on his own earth.

What benefits did Darkseid give him, and was it really worth everything he had to pay?
