The Death Knell

"Holy hell, where did you get all these ghosts?"

Monaque followed him through the door and couldn't help but take a few steps back when he saw the situation in the living room.

But Gin had closed the door.

Dealing with evil spirits is sometimes the responsibility of mages. Some are good at dealing with devils, while others are good at dealing with undead.

Mages usually have to eat and live, and exorcism is a job with a decent income.

Of course, there are jobs with better income than that, but in order to keep their identities secret, many mages will not integrate into society and can only do gray businesses on the fringes.

For example, gambling for a living, fortune telling for a living, cheating for a living...

Mage groups like Kama Taj are slightly better, they have territory and manpower, and can be self-sufficient.

But hundreds of years ago, Gu Yi also needed to farm the fields himself.

Monaco is not bad at dealing with the undead. His experiences in his youth have determined that he is better at dealing with humans.

Most of the undead creatures are very aggressive and dangerous because they hate the living. Ghosts that have no physical body and can penetrate walls are even more dangerous.

"It's not a ghost, it's a heroic spirit. Relax, my friend."

Su Ming patted Monaco on the shoulder and signaled Heimdall to guard the door. He wanted to talk to the other two people in the living room.

Gin had lit the fireplace, but there was dust everywhere in the room. Although there were no such things as spiders in Asgard, the smell of decay in the air was still very obvious.

I don’t know if it’s the broken furniture or the smell of these ghosts.

Gin asked Su Ming and Monaco to sit on the bench, while she opened a piece of animal skin in the corner of the house, opened a trap door and took out something.

That was her little wine cellar.

"I didn't know you knew so many people in Asgard."

Monaco used magic sound transmission. He hid his hands in his pockets and made secret gestures. He maintained a curious expression on his face, but quietly communicated with Su Ming.

"She's Gin."

Su Ming asked Zhuo Sha to write on the mage's back to communicate without any sound.

"That Gin I know? The one in your company?" Monaque's eyes widened, he looked at Su Ming, then turned to look at the corner of the room.

Su Ming shrugged. In fact, except for being a little uncomfortable at the time, nothing had changed. Gin was still gin.

"That's right."

"I haven't discovered the superb illusion skills in the past. She has the blood of Vanaheim?" The spell transmission continued to penetrate into Su Ming's ears. There were many side magics in Monaco's voodoo.

"I don't know about this, it's just a trivial matter... I didn't say it just now, we may have to deal with a big snake, are you confident?"

"The big snake? The mythical Jormungandr? The one in the legendary North Sea?"

"Uh, no, Jormungandr is an animal, and this big snake is Odin's brother." Strangler continued to write, and the back of the mage's white dress was crumpled by it.

Every time he finished writing a paragraph, he would rub it up like a blackboard, leaving the mage speechless.

However, when he heard the words 'Odin's brother', Monaco's mouth still twitched: "You want me to deal with not only Hydra, but also a god?"

"Maybe, if Zemo hasn't become a god when we find him, then we only have one god to deal with."

After strangling with his tentacles, Monaco looked at Su Ming with a look like "You're kidding me."

However, seeing that Deathstroke was not joking at all, Monaco turned his head again and looked at the undead. They were indeed very calm.

But the smell of death still makes people's hair stand on end.

"Do you have a plan?"

"Of course. If you know the runes, then we'll start by deciphering the clues."

"You know that I used to live in India, and even though I have traveled around the world, runes are only used by a very small number of mages in Norway, right?"

"You don't know him either... It doesn't matter, let's try some voodoo divination."

Su Ming took out Zemo's face from his pocket and threw it into the mage's hands.

Even the rabbit-killing demon Monaco, whose hands were stained with blood, couldn't help but retched when he felt the smooth touch in his hands and took a closer look at what it was.

The skin was white and swollen from the soaking, and there were a lot of shredded meat and fascia stuck to the other side, like a thin pizza, or the kind with too much expired tomato sauce.

"Well, you should have told me in advance."

"Holloway doesn't care about the flesh and blood. He only retches when he sees Wade's face."

"He is a surgeon... Fortunately, your cousin is not here, so I feel a lot more relaxed."

Although Monaco protested, he held his face in one hand and took out the rabbit from his pocket with the other hand.

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

Gin Jiu returned a small prop to Su Ming, and Su Ming also took out the same one and put it into his bag.

This was the amulet given to them by the Ancient One to avoid being detected by Heimdall.

Now their location is Vanaheim, where Monaco's divination magic reveals the location of a planet in the universe, thanks to Heimdall being able to recognize it.

But once he got here, Heimdall had to stay at the observatory at the end of the Rainbow Bridge to receive support. Therefore, there were only three people and one horse who arrived at the destination and continued to hunt Zemo.

Pegasus Xiaoba was very happy to act with Odin. Su Ming also thought that having transportation in the team could avoid some unexpected situations, so he brought it with him.

Before leaving Gin's house, Monaco drew a magic circle to trap Gin's sisters in a large circle to prevent them from leaving the house and running around.

Su Ming saw how pitiful they were, and with the help of Strangler, he found some wood and carved a mahjong set out of them.

The quantity is not enough, but let’s play with it first. Even if you don’t know the rules of mahjong, you can always stack blocks, right?

However, the ghosts had no intention of touching mahjong. They were basically staring at the fireplace in a daze.

"The distance affects the accuracy and consumes too much of my strength. There is no way to conduct a second divination to determine the direction for the time being."

With tears streaming down his face, Monaque strangled a rabbit to death and threw it to the ground.

Su Ming looked at the surrounding environment. How should I put it, it looked a bit like a Hobbit village.

Of course, the house is significantly larger.

The place is lined with green trees, green grass everywhere, and full of vitality, giving it a pastoral feel.

"Being able to identify a world in the universe has narrowed the scope a lot. Let's use the old method to find it first. It won't be too late to confirm it after you recover."

"It's almost a medieval village."

Monaco took out a handkerchief to wipe his face and pointed to the side. It can be said that the road is made of dirt, and excrement can be seen in dark places.

Gin just took a glance, and there was almost no change here from when she came to do business decades ago: "I didn't think it before, but now I think it's not as good as Brooklyn. The homeless people know how to poop in empty pizza boxes." inside."

"There's no other way, just be patient, finish the mission early and let's go home early... Gin, are you familiar with this place?"

"I've been here a few times and I'm not very familiar with it, but it's far away from the palace. If Zemo is really in Vanaheim, I don't think there will be his target in the small village."

"I'm quite curious. Hydra doesn't have a rainbow bridge. How did they get here so quickly from Asgard?" Monaco interjected. From the perspective of the universe, Vanaheim and Asgard can Not close.

Su Ming nodded when he heard this. This is indeed a problem.

"Heimdall said that there are some rune stones floating on the heads of those guys. I haven't figured out the ability of this thing yet. It seems that it has the ability to travel through the nine realms."

"You said Zemo also cut off the thread of fate and drank the spring of wisdom... I may know what those rune stones are."

Monaco mused.
