The Death Knell

In the dark and narrow tunnel, there was gradually the sound of something tapping on the ground. It was a series of noises like "ta da da da". It was a typical multi-legged creature, giving people the impression of a unicorn fairy. crawling across the glass.

It won't be a spider, because the spider's body is very light, which is a necessary quality for being an ambusher in the biosphere.

This is a good thing. At least Aphra won't scream because she saw a spider in the narrow corridor, and Su Ming's ears will not suffer. Although the doctor is the type of woman who likes women, she also Afraid of spiders.

What could it be?

The answer was revealed in the next second. What appeared in their sight from the corner of the esophagus was a large snow-white palm, only the part below the wrist.

This thing is a bit disgusting. It has wrinkled white skin, covered with a lot of unknown filth. There are seven fingers on the palm, each finger has cracked and bent yellow nails, just like the old witch in the fairy tale. claws.

Some of these fingers are also wearing decorations, which look like rings as thick as an ordinary person's waist. There are also strange-shaped bracelets on the wrists, which look like circles of golden barbed wire. They are very thick and have Stained with reddish-brown dried blood.

It was walking with its 'fingers' with its palms down, no, it was running at high speed from a distance. When it appeared in the darkness, the high-frequency clicking sound of its nails touching the ground also stopped.

"ah!

! "

Well, this ghost thing is worse than a spider. After seeing it, Aphra screamed as expected.

Because its form of existence is still a bit too abstract, for a young girl living in a naturally formed universe, this kind of crawling organ-like hunting thing may not even appear in nightmares.

"Whose are you?" The strangulating tentacles covered Aphra's mouth, and the noise suddenly stopped. Su Ming used his lightsaber to do tricks, trying to communicate with the monster a hundred meters away in front of him: "Block it. Not only did you not tell me where to go, but you also replaced the treasure hunt game I planned to play. Have you figured out how to explain it?"

The sound echoed along the long and narrow corridor. Although the strange hand had no mouth or ears, Su Ming felt that it must be able to communicate.

It is not as manic as ordinary beasts, and it does not dodge when faced with itself. It most likely comes with a clear purpose. Those who can perform such tasks must have basic intelligence.

Maybe a messenger? As for who the message is for, I can't say for the time being. Just because it is a palm, we cannot judge that it is a miscellaneous soldier of the Hand of Creation.

Because as far as Su Ming knows, the Creative Hands do not have this ability, and they cannot escape from the DC hyper-time flow system, at least there is little hope.

Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to deal with Perpetua in the past.

That dark goddess, the mother and creator of the multiverse 1, was once a member of the Hand of Creation, she just rebelled and wanted to stand on her own.

Logically speaking, her ability level should be the same as that of other creative hands. It is impossible that her abilities will change just because she became independent, right? It’s not like he jumped to the Hand of Nothingness.

She was able to be sealed by the Origin Wall and unable to defeat the judge sent by the Origin Tribunal, so the other Hands of Creation should have similar weaknesses.

It's nothing more than the fact that the Hand of Creation as a group has more of them.

Maybe the person behind the strange hand sent what looked like a hand just to pretend to be the Hand of Creation and attract hatred. But Su Ming's first sentence asked who it represented, which made it clear that he had seen through it. This little trap.

"Death Knell, we want to talk to you." The seven fingers of the pale hand were bent, making it look like it was lying on the ground, or clenching its fist: "About the universe, about the future, About fate, about you.”

The palm did not answer the question directly, and the subject used was still plural, which further verified Su Ming's conjecture that it was not only here to convey a message, but also to frame someone.

The being behind it can send it here, find Aphra, change some things here, and resist its own specific exploration using darkness and quantum, then it must have the ability to transcend time flow level, in Marvel's terms It's the Almighty Universe level, which greatly narrows down the list of suspects.

"What are you talking about? You don't have the attitude to talk about things." Su Ming moved his neck and looked at the ring on the other person's finger: "Anyone can guess riddles, and this is a human specialty. Your master will not want it. You are guessing riddles with me. Be direct and tell me what the person behind you wants, and I will think about it."

Logically speaking, while Su Ming was trying to get information, he also showed enough respect to the other party. If it were another piece of garbage, he would just activate his concept and then slash it with a sword.

But the other party was so shameless and told me not to guess riddles, but it just didn't listen.

"Death Knell, your path is wrong. You think you are right, but you are limited by your vision and cannot tell right from wrong. You should ask yourself now, where is your path?"

The big hand was curled up into a ball, and the seven fingers were gathered together. He didn't know how to pronounce it, but the sound reached Su Ming's ears steadily, and he could even feel the moisture of a creature's breath blowing on his ears. .

"My way? Haha, a deformed monster asked me the way? OK, I tell you, I want to take the Erxian Bridge and go to Chenghua Avenue!"

There was nothing left to talk about. As he spoke, he directly launched a sneak attack. He immediately launched the black sun with his hand, and used the tentacle-like pale corona to bind the restless hand.

While launching a conceptual attack, he also wielded a weapon. Quantum teleportation can directly send him to any position beside the enemy. Perhaps the existence behind the strange hand can prevent it from being discovered by quantum, but it cannot prevent Su Ming from using quantum concepts himself. .

The lightsaber in his hand was originally designed to kill people. Su Ming traveled to several worlds to collect materials, and then found the strongest scientists to build it. He was very sure that he could cut this palm into pieces. .

Soon enough, the palm of the hand also activated its ability. It wanted to modify the space around it so that the distance between the two became infinite.

But it was useless. Su Ming activated the quantum concept to cross this point, and then easily thrust the lightsaber through the back of its hand without any lag.

With a 'pop' sound, the golden weapon flashing in the darkness reached its handle, and the big hand was nailed to the floor, and then it was about to face the attack of the Devouring Method.

But it decisively 'committed suicide'. The material body that originally existed on the reality level was ignited like burning toilet paper, and suddenly turned into a cloud of sparks, which dissipated amidst its screams, leaving only Su Ming. The black and gray flying on the beach...

"Have you eaten?" Su Ming sheathed his sword. The New Year greeting sword technique will never go out of style, as long as it is combined with other means.

"Hey." Black bean sprouts sprouted from the shoulders, and an inconspicuous tentacle also slid back into the host's body from the ground. The strangulation showed that the other party was too decisive. It only had time to lick it, and it didn't even bite it. In the end, it only ate it. A mouthful of ashes.

Okay, but it's not all without gain. At least something can be inferred from the performance of the strange hand.
