Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

3. On the days when that person is absent (Part 2) [51/100]

"do you know?"

Catherine was holding a cup of iced coffee. She pulled the brim of her baseball cap and looked at the rushing crowd in front of her. She took a drink and whispered, "I hate New York. Everyone in this place is talking about money, ideals. It's on everyone's lips, but the criminals here don't even have faith."

After finishing talking, she kicked the thief who put his hand in her pocket next to her, and made the unprepared guy staggered to kneel on the ground. Selena, who was standing next to Catherine, snorted because she stayed up all night and "worked." "As a result, she already has eye bags, and Miss Thief is in a bad mood, because the "work" last night was not completed.

She snorted coldly, shook the long legs over 1.2 meters, kicked the dagger that the thief had taken out, and then pierced it into his palm with a sharp heel, splashing blood and mercilessly.

If this is in the downtown area of ​​Manhattan, it is estimated that a group of people have been onlookers at this time, but unfortunately this is only the alley of the back street of West Village, which is rich in humanity. No matter how much the thief howls, he will not be changed. At the end of the game, Catherine threw the finished drink into the trash can, and reached into the cello box behind her back. When she took it out again, there was already an extra metal stick with a cold black luster.

"Block me a block"

The 14-year-old girl said to the little sister who was wearing a black trench coat next to her. The latter stood up knowingly and stood in front of the two people. Then there was a scream of screams, there seemed to be the sound of teeth being broken, 5 Minutes later, the refreshed Catherine took out the bloody mobile phone from the arms of the thief who was lying on the ground, who knew nothing about life or death, pressed 911, and glanced at the nearby house number.

"On the 27th in Greenwich Village, someone is dying and bleeding a lot. Come!"

She hung up the phone, threw the phone on the ground, smashed her foot, Selena held her shoulders, watching Catherine's behavior, she frowned.

"Wow, I found out that you were very murderous when you came back this time. Who provoke you?

"nonsense"

Catherine rolled her eyes at her, "I'm not a little thief like you who can't get on the stage. My sister will inherit a big gang in the future, and now I'm just practicing."

"Okay, okay, I can't afford to offend."

Selena shrugged, she took Catherine's arm, and the two young and beautiful girls, one young and one young, merged into the flow of people talking and laughing, but after a few minutes, the two stood with their faces puzzled. At the end of this avenue, standing in front of a shop exuding a quaint atmosphere, Selena scratched her head. The thief girl who had recently gained fame in New York looked at the weird one above the shop. A circle was cut open. Several parts of the sign, she said puzzledly,

"Is this store here?"

Catherine shook her head, looked around, and said with certainty, "Mr. Jonathan lives nearby. I have been studying cello with him for half a year, but I never knew there was such a shop here. Look, it sells. It's incense! This is really fun."

Selena’s instinct as a thief began to warn wildly at this moment, telling her that something was wrong here, but when she saw the religiously significant ornaments placed on the counter in this 19th-century-style shop in front of her, her The heart that belonged to the thief began to beat feverishly again.

"Let's go in and see!"

Selena whispered, and then took the struggling Catherine into this strange shop.

"Hey, don't pull me, I'm going to be late for class! Damn it!"

From the outside, this shop is a bit simple and quiet, has no signs, no decorations, and is quiet like an old man in the dusk, but there is nothing special about it, but after the two girls actually walked in, they found the surroundings Everything has changed. The glass door is like a boundary. When stepping into it, the light suddenly becomes dim, but it is not the kind of dimness that is disgusting. On the contrary, it gives people a pure and deep feel.

Classic staircase made of mahogany, various collections placed around,

Catherine looked around the furnishings, and she found that the walls of the shop were covered with various pictures, including records of wars between people and gods, and some epic wars. In the most central picture, but It is a hand-painted painting of a towering snow-capped mountain, each painting is so vivid, putting the Buddha on the scene, and Selena has already drawn out a small magnifying glass, looking at the one placed on the table. Bronze tiger seal.

She didn't come to be a black cat thief for money, she just likes this job, as Saibo once said, there is restless blood flowing in her bones, and she is also very talented.

"Two people, can I help you?"

A low but gentle voice suddenly sounded, causing Selena and Catherine to assume a defensive posture at the same time. According to their perception, it is impossible for anyone to approach silently, but when they raised their heads, they saw But it was a yellow man wearing black practice clothes, with black hair, small eyes, and a full face. It seemed hard to touch. If you only look at the face, you can't help but want to back off.

But there was a kind of kindness in his eyes that was completely different from his appearance. That kindness made people forget his bad appearance and unexpectedly wanted to get close.

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

Catherine's hand reached into the cello box behind her. If you look closely, you will find that her palm has "melted" into the wooden box, grabbing the black metal stick, from the instinct of an Alpha mutant Telling her that this person is very powerful.

Selena's left hand was also placed on her belt, don't get me wrong, she didn't intend to use the belt to slap people, it was a black leather whip wrapped around the belt, the weapon of the catwoman.

The person in front of him didn't seem to notice the small movements of the two people, he smiled gently,

"This is a sanctuary, and I am the host here...According to your habits, you can understand it as a temple. You can call me "king"."

"temple?"

Selena had an expression of "I'm reading less, don't lie to me", she looked around, her beautiful brows raised, "Here?"

"Come, sit down and talk."

Wang stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture. Catherine and Selena looked at each other and sat opposite him. The latter flicked his left hand on the table, and three cups of hot tea with aroma appeared on the table. Go up, it's as magical as magic. This hand made the two girls stare, but the latter just smiled mysteriously. He looked at Catherine and whispered,

"You are from Xavier Talented Youth Academy, right?"

"Ok?"

Catherine stared at him closely, without answering, Wang's picked up the teacup and said contentedly,

"Don't be afraid, boy, we have a very good relationship with Professor Charles. You can understand that we are friends."

After speaking, he looked at Selena again,

"So, what wish do you have in your heart?"

"Why do you ask?"

Selena fought back, "How do you know we have a wish in our hearts?"

"Because there is no desire, people without "destiny" can't see here, and can't enter... I have said before, this is a temple, we believe in the truly great power in this world, she guards All peace in this world is the power hidden under the surface of the world. It is the "Ancient One", the Supreme Master."

Having said that, Wang Cheng sincerely folded his hands and muttered to himself. At this moment, he looked like a real ascetic. After a while, he opened his eyes and said kindly,

"Let's talk, I can fortune telling for you once for free."

Wang gently waved his practice robe, narrowed his already small eyes, and stretched out a finger.

"Only one chance."

"Ooh, look at you, are you telling us that it really doesn't matter? What kind of supreme mage, it's impossible for everyone to know this kind of thing when you hear it?"

Selena is another series of sharp serial questions, her eyes are shining with distrust,

"Go ahead, what do you want?"

After she asked unceremoniously, she was pulled by Catherine's arm. The power of Wang's "hidden under the world" made her very touched, because as an alpha mutant, she was one of them. She vaguely felt that this was a real and very rare opportunity.

"On this issue, don't worry."

The king was unmoved and said, “When you leave here, except for the answers you got, you can’t remember everything about the “Sanctuary”. This is also where the ancient master’s strength lies, or I can now Send you away..."

"Wait, Master Wang, I have a question to ask!"

Catherine had more contact with Saibo, and learned some etiquette about that ancient country from Saibo. She put the cello box aside, stood up, folded her hands together, and bowed sincerely to salute. Wang was satisfied, he nodded.

As a follower of Guyi Master and stationed in the Sanctuary in New York, he is essentially a believer. His world is separated from the real world, and Selena's doubts have actually made him dissatisfied.

"Ask, kid"

Wang put down the teacup, his expression became solemn, "I can feel that there is doubt in your heart, like a black hole, swallowing your compassion and kindness. A truly good boy shouldn't have this Sad..."

"I would like to know..."

Catherine pursed her mouth, her big eyes gleamed with longing, and she was a little nervous. Selena couldn't help holding her hand. The thief could guess what Catherine was asking, the little girl said softly.

"I want to know, my brother is still alive? Where is he?"

"Tell me his name!"

Wang took a palm-sized sapphire pendant from his neck and held it in his hand. The gem pendant that exuded a unique light made Selena’s eyes straighten. She has been a thief in New York for 4 months. I have never seen such a perfect gem. Wang ignored her. He seemed to be communicating with some powerful force. He stretched out his hand.

"If you have something related to him, it's best to carry it next to your body and leave it to me."

"Ok"

Catherine hurriedly took out something from the cello box. When she saw it, Selena's face also became sad. It was a mask, almost destroyed by flames and explosions, but she could barely see it. It was a twisted ghost face, which Robin brought to Catherine, Saibo's last relic, she placed it carefully on the king's palm.

The latter glanced, put it on the table, stroked it with his fat fingers, and frowned.

"Strong blood, substantive smell of killing, like a ghost... It seems that your brother is also not an ordinary person."

"His name is Saibo, Saibo Hawke, can it work? Master Wang?"

Catherine asked eagerly. Wang motioned her not to worry. He closed his eyes, and he recited the great name silently. The next moment, in the air behind him, a golden six-pointed star halo flashed out, forming a more complex light. .

At the edge of the halo, there was a string of beating golden runes. In this scene, Selena was stunned. One minute ago, she thought that the king was just a liar, but now, she can’t wait to worship the king... this thing It's more exciting than magic.

The golden glow of the halo shook in the air like lines, like gauze woven of light. Catherine and Selena looked directly at the light, and could even vaguely see a mountain surrounded by wind and snow, a golden temple, And the woman who turned her back to them, meditating in front of the mysterious pattern.

That was... Gu Yi, the Supreme Master, one of the truly most powerful forces in the world.

"Gu Yi, please tell me about Cyber ​​Hawke..."

In the spirit, Wang was connected to the omnipresent spirit of the Supreme Being. With the help of this name and the message of the mask in the palm of his hand, a place surrounded by wind and snow appeared before his eyes. It was vaguely a large dam, Wang’s The spirit continued to deepen. He saw the secrets hidden under the dam, saw many prohibited soldiers, saw many poor people locked up, and the cruel experiment, but when he was about to find the target, he was a crisp and clear A gentle voice rang in his ears.

"Stop it, Wang... that is a person who does not exist in this world. Don't enter into his destiny, and don't change his destiny..."

Wang's heart was startled, and all the pictures in front of him were suddenly broken, but after a moment, he lowered his head and replied in a sincerely low voice,

"Yes, Master Gu Yi."

Five minutes later, Selena and Catherine were standing on the street in Greenwich Village with a blank face. They both held their heads. No matter how they recalled, they couldn't remember the things from the previous 10 minutes. Their brains were blank, and they looked back. I can see that there is an empty alley behind, but they clearly walked out of this alley just now...it seems that there is still a very gentle person.king?Or Lee?

"What happened to us?"

Selena checked her clothes nervously, "This kind of sudden situation is really enough! I don't know if I have been XXed! Damn it!"

And Catherine looked at the note in her hand, with a line written in English,

"He is still alive, and he will return to you soon..."

Catherine clenched the note tightly, but the note turned into golden smoke and disappeared on her fingertips. The little girl looked around and then sighed with relief. Although she had forgotten what happened, she felt a little inexplicable Peace of mind.

"Thank you, great power..."
