The Death Knell

Su Ming suddenly had a glass in his hand, which contained half a cup of brownish-red liquid. From the aroma, you could tell that this was the best Scotch whiskey, and it was exactly as he requested, with three pieces of ice floating on it. .

The small square ice cubes are crystal clear and make a crisp sound when they collide with the wall of the cup.

After running around for so long, it’s good to drink some wine to moisten your throat. And if it’s really like in the movie, won’t this glass of wine never be finished?

Su Ming: "Dun, dun, dun..."

Gu Yi just sat cross-legged, his hands folded on his knees holding the seal, and he sat quietly watching him drink with a smile on his face.

Su Ming was simply overthinking. Ancient One was not Doctor Strange, and she would not use the Eye of Agamotto to reverse time and play with unlimited drinks, so this half-glass of wine was really just half a glass.

Su Ming sighed. Sure enough, the style is different. It seems that if you want to drink unlimited drinks, you will have to wait until Qi Qi takes office.

He put the empty wine glass on the small table in front of him. Although he felt that Gu Yixian's style of sitting cross-legged on the leather sofa was a bit inappropriate, he still nodded and indicated that she could ask whatever she wanted to ask.

"Stranger from another world, what is your name?" She calmly chose a very common topic. She actually knew the answer, but this question is always good to start with.

"Slade Wilson."

Gu nodded and then asked again.

"Then what is the reason and purpose of your coming to our universe?"

"Because of an accident." Su Ming wanted to answer that her purpose was travel and vacation, but after thinking about it, she changed to a more serious statement: "There is no purpose, I just want to survive."

"Actually, I felt it when you crossed the world barrier, but you are not a magic user at all. The blue energy that protects you does not belong to you, and I should not have appeared in front of you... But You are wandering around the New York Temple, I think this is probably fate."

Gu Yi changed the seal in her hand, and a small red disc was held in her hand. Some images appeared on it, recreating the scene when Su Ming traveled through time, from when he suddenly appeared in the universe, and then was wrapped in blue light. It passes through the atmosphere and finally falls into the sea.

Su Ming had a gentle smile on his face, but he was thinking about the Three Character Sutra. This place was far away from the New York Temple. The excuse was that he must still be curious about the power of Dr. Manhattan.

"I am a warrior, magic is not for me."

Su Ming immediately said that the blue energy was caused by accident and he didn't know anything.

Gu Yi accepted this statement, and her judgment was the same. The world was too big, and there might be tools somewhere that could send people to other dimensions or worlds. Some people enter this universe, and others will naturally leave. Many people have disappeared suddenly due to various reasons, and Gu Yi has seen quite a few of them.

She lit the incense burner next to her and watched the green smoke rising from it and hovering above the roof.

"Do you like killing people?"

"It's just business, and work is all about getting paid. In fact, everyone is a mercenary in different forms." Su Ming answered her calmly. The question was irrelevant: "Some people are hired to deal with trees, and some are hired to deal with fish. , and I was just hired to deal with other people.”

"It's interesting to say that the employment relationship is indeed something that humans invented very early. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, our ancestors would fight for others for food or hormones..." Gu tilted his head and said Su Ming showed an approving smile and expressed that he had no prejudice against mercenaries: "Then what do you think of this world?"

Su Ming's heart suddenly trembled. This is a trap question. Whether he is bullish or bearish, it means he has 'judged' it. On the surface, he has only arrived in this world for more than a month. He is either on an island or at sea. What to see?

Once he says that he has seen it, it means that he is planning something, and Gu Yi will probably investigate it further.

"I don't know. After all, I haven't seen anything yet. I've been on the island all this time and there's no one there."

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Gu Yi waved his hand to fill up his wine glass again, smiling and nodding.

"You are also a human being, so our earth must be the same as yours. I have seen many human visitors from other worlds, and they can all live a happy life here."

Su Ming picked up the wine glass and drank it down without ceremony, even chewing the ice cubes. The wine and cold stimulated his mouth and made him extremely calm.

He answered vaguely: "Click...click...I hope so."

We can really only hope so. If this is the MUC Marvel Cinematic Universe, then in a hundred years in the future, Thanos' invasion will be an inevitable hurdle.

Deathstroke is a modified person, and his lifespan is already very long. Now that he has X-metal, it is even more impossible for him to die of old age. He will definitely be able to see the day when Thanos arrives, but if nothing happens to Gu Yi, before that, will die.

It stands to reason that her lifespan has reached its limit now. She has lived for seven to eight hundred years, and now she is just waiting for a successor, so she is currently extracting Dormammu's dark energy to extend her lifespan.

This is tantamount to drinking a dove to quench her thirst. Once these dark energies accumulate too much in her body, she will also be affected and become an evil accomplice and the enemy she has been fighting against.

So after teaching Strange, she volunteered to die and completed her mission.

Her fighting prowess is called the Sorcerer Supreme, plus the dark power of Dormammu, the magical power of the Trinity Vishan Emperor, and a Time Stone.

If she didn't want to die, there wouldn't be anyone on earth who could kill her.

Can Casillas beat her just by wearing weird eye shadow? You must know that his boss Dormammu was repelled by Ancient One when he came in person hundreds of years ago. In these years, Ancient One also stole his power to extend his life.

The title of Supreme Mage is well deserved, she is a true mage.

The Ancient One acts very low-key, and even Thor and Loki don't know that there are magicians in Midgard.

But when it comes to Doctor Strange, he prefers to do business and provides magic consulting services like Zha Kang, so S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra all know the existence of the magical world.

Su Ming can't save someone like her who has a death wish even if she has money. If the magician does not take refuge with the dimension lord or the demon king of hell after his death, their final destination must be to return to Emperor Weishan and become the future. The power of magicians.

The Ancient One is quite special. In the comics, after the death of the Ancient One, he stayed with the Creator God Eternity as a soul body, and he could come back to chat with Doctor Strange from time to time, but it’s hard to say in the movie world yet.

If Su Ming's prediction is correct, Gu Yi will probably send herself back to her original place soon, and use magic to shield her memory of this period. Just like the magic she used to hide Kama Taj, she will once again Hiding behind the scenes.

But it is impossible to erase Su Ming's memory.

It's still too early now. The only known mages are Gu Yi and Mo Du, so it's not interesting to play with them. So even if the memory could be guaranteed not to be tampered with or read, Su Ming still planned to play dumb and let her think she had succeeded.

Gu Yi didn't know what Su Ming was thinking. For her, this was just a peaceful day. Next, she would go to the London Temple to have a look, and then return to Karma Taj to teach the new students.

Her new disciple, Modu, is a man with a dark heart, but he is very talented in magic, so she must teach him to be a good person.

But he cannot become the Supreme Mage. He is too extreme and does not understand the boundaries between compromise and power.

I probably can last less than 100 years, but whether I can find a successor is still unknown...

All kinds of thoughts floated through her mind, but she still smiled at Su Ming as if nothing had happened.

"Then, if you excuse me, I will send you back so that you can live freely in this world."

"Oh?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows, has he cleared the level now?

"As a gift, I will also give you a small barrel of your favorite wine. I wish you a happy life."

Su Ming understood that Gu Yi was planning to use teleportation + brainwashing, but he continued to pretend not to understand.

"What do you mean? I can stay here?"

“The mountains never get too high, and the sea never gets too deep.”

Gu Yi replied with a smile, stretched out his finger and drew another circle. Su Ming fell down instantly. In the blink of an eye, he found himself back in the sewer with a small oak barrel under his arm. There was probably about two liters of wine in it.

Su Ming knew that Gu Yi must still be peeking, so he pretended to be puzzled and scratched his head, as if he was recalling something, but soon he hugged the barrel tightly and moved on.

It must be said that her style is completely different from that of Manhattan. As an unknown existence, for Dr. Manhattan, it is a bug in the system and a loophole in the program that must be eliminated.

On her side, she is much more tolerant, saying that the world is very big, stones of different shapes can also be left on this mountain, and water droplets of different colors can also blend into this sea. She does not mind mystery and the unknown. If she is a human, she will eventually Integrate into the society of similar people.

Ancient One watched him walk away in the mirror space and disappear into the darkness. She didn't notice anything was wrong, so she opened the portal again and went directly to London.

But she had a hunch in her heart that this would not be the last time she saw this person, and the two would probably meet again in the future.
