The Death Knell

?In fact, not only did Su Ming not go to heaven, but he went in the opposite direction. No one could guess what he did.

Now the three groups have different plans. The Titans plan to blow up the water station, Batman plans to turn off the faucet, and Su Ming plans to open the drain.

He unilaterally cut off communications and hid his whereabouts, not only because he didn't want Batman to watch his work, but also to guard against possible surveillance by Luthor.

Now the aliens are on Luther's side. They are all Luther's spies, and if given the chance, Luther will never let Su Ming ruin his plan.

And Su Ming is also looking for Luther. As long as he dares to appear in the sun, he will immediately be greeted by a big fireball.

This is a war, and war never changes.

On the battlefield, intelligence and logistics are always the top priority. Whoever has more information and more resources will have absolute dominance.

It's just that he doesn't have time to use the Eye of Ra for monitoring now. His eyepiece is currently full of various underwater readings.

Unsurprisingly, half of his team saw the Trench Country after halfway into the trench.

In Su Ming's opinion, calling it a ruins is an exaggeration. At best, they are just dark ruins covered with mottled rust and coral.

Perhaps it was once part of the ancient city of Atlantis and had the most brilliant civilization on earth at that time.

But now, it is just a ruin. Except for the Haigou tribe, even the octopuses are not willing to live in such a ghost place. They might as well be a clay pot.

Looking at the vague ruins below, Su Ming raised a fist and signaled the team to pause and wait for a while on the edge before talking.

The underwater vision is limited and the movement is limited. Although the enemy must be despised strategically, the enemy must be paid attention to tactically.

It was pitch black down there, nothing could be seen moving, and the water pressure reading on the tactical eyepiece kept rising.

If he didn't move, that meant the sea level was rising again.

But Su Ming knew that the calmer he appeared, the more wrong things were.

The Haigou people are famous for their lack of brains. If a creature enters their territory, there is only one result, which is to be attacked by a group and then eaten.

Now, Su Ming was about to enter the village, but they still didn't show up.

He patted Daniel on the shoulder and stretched out two fingers to point at his eyes, meaning to let the Blue Devil respond on the spot and protect the mage at the same time. Su Ming went down to explore the way first.

Blue Devil understood it well. He was a stunt actor. Playing a special police officer or a terrorist was his job. As a qualified walk-on, he was familiar with all the tactical gestures.

This is the self-cultivation of an actor!

The magic floating cloak provided underwater breathing and propulsion, and now it took Su Ming to dive rapidly into the ruins of the city.

After getting closer, he found that the city was stuck almost halfway in the trench, like a fish scale stuck in the throat, and below was a bottomless abyss.

"Tsk, Fitzhay Abyss? The water is 11,000 meters deep."

There is no problem in going down, but the deeper you go, the greater the risk of encountering enemies.

So he changed his plan and chose to build a magic teleportation array in the ruins of Trench Country.

At a depth of more than five thousand meters, he can move quite freely, and even if he encounters a raid by the Haitou Clan, there are still some ruins that can be used as bunkers.

As long as he can find a suitable position on the terrain, even if there are hundreds of thousands of sea people, he can kill all the enemies with one sword.

After the teleportation array is constructed, directly blasting the entire Trench Country's 'plate' into the abyss, and then remotely activating the array after sinking, wouldn't it be equivalent to opening a hole in the bottom of the basin.

Of course, in view of the large amount of water that needs to be drained, this magic circle should be very large, using the entire city of Trench Country as a canvas.

The number of things that need to be arranged has also increased accordingly.

He walked around the city for a while and found no enemies. Did they all go out to look for food?

This was better. He returned directly to the other two people and took them into the city.

Lori and Eve were obviously very curious about the surrounding scenery. Under the illumination of the Blue Devil's trident, they observed the scenery in the ruins of the city with great interest.

Su Ming pulled out the God Killer, a weapon that could also illuminate. He unceremoniously carved words on the wall of the ruins nearby.

Of course, he didn't write "The Death Bell is here to visit", but re-wrote his revised plan and drew a sketch of the city.

The size of the required magic circle, the plan after the layout, and the plate on which several people are standing now are looking for a fragile fulcrum to sink the entire city.

Naturally, his plan encountered no resistance.

For the sake of the survival of the earth, blowing up a piece of ruins is something anyone is willing to do.

Blue Devil nodded first, and then Yeying pointed to a place on the sketch, indicating that he would start the layout from there.

If she teleports herself and a few people, she can open the passage to the Shadow Realm with just one thought, allowing people to slip in and out.

But just like Deathstroke wrote, if you plan to discharge the world's seawater, you will definitely need a giant magic circle and sufficient energy supply.

Energy is not a problem, not even the gems in Manhattan can be used. As long as Su Ming calls the Upside Down and tells it that there is something wrong with its accounts, he can trick it out, and then negotiate to exchange the big fireball stored with him into energy to activate it. A magic circle will do.

As for whether the Inverted Man is willing and whether he feels that Deathstroke has broken the contract, Su Ming believes that its IQ is not yet able to understand what breaking the contract means.

When he was teaching the upside-down man, he didn't mention the concept of breaking the contract...

Their contract has a special term in the mercenary world, called the 'Lazarus Contract', which means a cooperation that can be modified at any time. As long as both parties agree, everything can be discussed.

Don't think this is a devil's contract, unfair or deceptive. In fact, this is usually a contract signed by people with long-term cooperation foundation, which represents trust.

Its origin is a biblical story.

Legend has it that there used to be a young man named Lazarus, a good friend of Jesus who had not yet ascended to heaven. One day he fell seriously ill and died soon after.

Jesus came to his funeral, and Lazarus' relatives cried to him.

Jesus just smiled, and said with great arrogance: "Whoever believes in me will have eternal life."

So four days later, Lazarus was resurrected and walked out of the tomb himself, still wrapped in his shroud.

He always believed in Jesus, so he got life, and because of the miracle of resurrection from the dead, Jesus also gained more believers.

This is where the Lazarus Pact comes from, representing trust and a good outcome for both parties.

Su Ming is usually very sincere when discussing business, and will come up with a corresponding contract for any type of customer.

For example, if you talk to Barry, he will come up with the Lazarus Contract and make things happen to Barry's satisfaction, and the price will be negotiable, although Barry is unlikely to hire a murderer...

If the customer is Batman, there is only the most ordinary contract, with a 30% deposit paid first, and no less than a penny at the end of the check...

So now he believes that as long as the terms are negotiated, the Upside Down won't mind doing this small favor, which is nothing more than changing the fireball that is temporarily in his place into another form.

It is not harmful to it, but beneficial to it. After all, if the main world of the earth is finished, without sorcerers casting spells, its interests will be greatly damaged.

............

Things went smoothly. The traditional teleportation circle based on the hexagram was very classic and very practical.

It can transport people or objects to anywhere in the multiverse, but whether they can survive when they reach their destination is not the responsibility of magic.

Ye Ying prepared a lot of casting materials, and most of them were dark-looking shadow-type props. Every time she swam out a section, she would stop to cast spells and carve giant runes.

The workload is heavy, and some of the patterns are very complicated. Sure enough, if Lori is asked to imitate her, something may go wrong.

More than half an hour has passed, and Yeying has basically completed her work. Now there is only the last step left, which is to go to the center of the circle to activate it and infuse energy.

After the arrangement here is completed, go to a hidden location in the universe to arrange an exit. Once the two sides are connected, the drainage ditch will be completed.

Without further ado, in this case, the four of them swam towards the building in the center of the plate.

Yes, a spire that can still be called a building. Although it looks shabby, at least it still retains the original Atlantis style.

It was made of some kind of metal and was very strong. The door was like the hatch of a spaceship. Su Ming pulled it open several times and finally chose to cut it open with a big sword.

There is no way, the center point of the magic circle is inside this building, and the magic circle is an art that requires precision, and the geometric center of the hexagram is here.

But before the door fell down, Su Ming saw what was behind the door. It was simply the worst nightmare of trypophobia.

Countless glowing red eyes, densely packed and layered in the darkness, crowded the entire interior of the building.

If it were stars in the night sky, the density of these stars would be too high.

When the door in the sea fell to the ground, all these eyes turned to look at the door.

No need to think too much, all the trench tribes are here. Although they have been mutated twice due to the pollution of purple sea water, they are nocturnal creatures.

Because it is becoming more and more difficult to find food under the trench, they have to go closer to the sea surface to look for fish or other creatures.

However, the large deep-sea eyes that have evolved over a long period of time prevent them from seeing under strong light, so they can only approach the sea surface at night in low-light conditions.

It was undoubtedly daytime now, and they huddled in this intact building to sleep as if they were huddled together for warmth.

Although normal mutations will turn the intelligent creatures on the earth into soldiers of the alien sea tribe, there is one prerequisite, and that is the existence of intelligence.

The Trench people have long lost their intelligence. They are almost like wild beasts, so they have become monsters with only instinct.

Su Ming's night vision goggles could see that this building was densely packed with hundreds of weird creatures. They had fangs and claws and the characteristics of fish. The alien seawater only made them bigger. Just stronger.

On the floor of the building hall, there is a hole, and more trench tribes are crawling out of it.

If the city where Su Ming and the others are standing now is a big stone slab, then it has both positive and negative sides.

The front looks like just ruins and ruins, and they can walk around inside and scribble here and there.

Under the stone slab, on the back, tens of thousands of members of the Trench Clan live there like bats in the sea...

There, they rebuilt a honeycomb-like nest. The relatively complete building in front of them was the passage connecting the front and back sides.

The consequences of breaking into this place are much more serious than stirring up a hornet's nest.
